New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 21% This is considered a minor risk.

While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.0% average weekly change).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 1.9% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 1.9% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.3% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥1.69b market cap, or US$11.5m). Reported Earnings • Aug 19

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: JP¥1.35b (US$9.47m) This is considered a major 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 Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-JP¥147m free cash flow). Market cap is less than US$10m (JP¥1.35b market cap, or US$9.47m). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.9% average weekly change).
