Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 12% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.7% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥14.2b market cap, or US$93.5m). Annonce • Jul 30

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: JP¥13.9b (US$96.2m) 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 8.9% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥13.9b market cap, or US$96.2m). Upcoming Dividend • May 22
