New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 29% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. 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). High level of non-cash earnings (29% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (8.4% net profit margin). Annonce • Mar 12

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: ₩133.7b (US$99.3m) This is considered a minor risk.

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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (12% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (₩133.7b market cap, or US$99.3m).
