New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 4.2% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (21% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 4.2% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$305k revenue, or US$200k). Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (17% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$57.7m market cap, or US$37.8m). Board Change • Aug 18

4DS Memory Limited Unveils New Interface Switching Reram Technology for Faster and Energy Efficient Memory for AI Processing 4DS Memory Limited announced a new type of ReRAM technology for AI processing, bringing high-bandwidth, high-endurance persistent memory for big data and neural net applications. 4DS' Interface Switching based on PCMO (Praseodymium, Calcium, Manganese, Oxygen) ReRAM technology delivers significant advantages over other filamentary ReRAM technologies and is the first company to develop this high-speed, high-endurance, persistent non-volatile technology on an advanced CMOS node. One of the biggest challenges to the AI market is that traditional CPU architectures cannot efficiently handle the massive volumes of data that must be read into the chip, processed, and the results written back out of the chip. While new chip architectures are bringing the memory in with the compute (Compute in Memory), this approach is limited by the type of memory they can use that can be fast enough and the amount of memory that can be integrated. With these larger models the challenges of compute data backup and recovery has likewise grown. In addition to speed, energy efficiency has also become more increasingly important as AI processing is forecasted to consume 10 times the energy by 2026 compared to 2023, according to the International Energy Agency. Because 4DS requires no refresh within its persistence window and can be 'refreshed' within the DRAM operating window (' hidden refresh'), it can uniquely deliver an energy efficient high bandwidth and high endurance memory technology for the AI Age. Key features of 4DS' Area-based ReRAM include the following: Area-based, low current density programming, high endurance and scalable with technology node; Highly responsive with extremely fast single-shot write time of 4.7 ns to deliver low energy per bit writing at DRAM speeds; High bandwidth persistent memory for high performance data protection; High endurance memory with up to 109 endurance demonstrated; Dynamic partitioning: High endurance and high retention sectors can be dynamically allocated with data retention from hours to days to months; High scale and density w 20 nm cell to be demonstrated in the fourth quarter of 2024; Simple integration into any advanced CMOS process using standard fab equipment. 4DS has a development agreement with Belgium-based imec - a world leading research and innovation hub in nano electronics and digital technologies - for a 20nm Mb chip with 1.6B elements to be run at imec in 2024.PCMO ReRAM belongs to a class of Interface Switching ReRAM where the switching mechanism is based on the interface characteristics of the cell. Specifically, the entire interface area is involved in the switching, which is why it is sometimes also called area-based switching. Oxygen ions, which allows conduction through the cell, are moved in and out of the cell by the electric field pulse. When this oxygen is present, the cell conducts and it is said to be SET. Likewise, when the oxygen is removed, the current path is lost and it is said to be RESET. Because the entire interface area is involved the current density is kept at a minimum which contributes to the high endurance of the cell. New Risk • Apr 20
New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: AU$153.4m (US$98.5m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 0.5% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$7.3k revenue, or US$4.7k). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (8.0% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (AU$366k sold).

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Australian stocks, typically moving 17% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 0.5% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$7.3k revenue, or US$4.8k).
