New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: ₩146.5b (US$99.5m) 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change).

Femtosense and ABOV Semiconductor Launches the AI-ADAM-100 Femtosense, in partnership with ABOV Semiconductor, launched the AI-ADAM-100, an artificial intelligence microcontroller unit (AI MCU) built on sparse AI technology to enable on-device AI features such as voice-based control in home appliances and other products. On-device AI provides immediate, no-latency user responses with low power consumption, security, operational stability, and low cost compared to GPUs or cloud-based AI. The AI-ADAM-100 integrates the Femtosense Sparse Processing Unit 001 (SPU-001), a neural processing unit (NPU), and an ABOV Semiconductor MCU to provide deep learning-powered AI voice processing and voice-cleanup capabilities on-device at the edge. With language processing, appliances can implement "say what you mean" voice interfaces that allow users to speak naturally and express their intent freely in multiple ways. On top of the AI-ADAM- 100, Femtosense provides a highly customizable selection of AI-ADAM-100-based AI software application products--from full turnkey solutions to tool-driven applications or full custom implementations using a manufacturer's own AI models, whether dense or sparse. The Sparse AI Advantage Sparse AI reduces the cost of AI inferencing by zeroing-out irrelevant portions of an algorithm and then onlyocating hardware memory and compute resources to the remaining nonzero, relevant portions of the algorithm. A system that stores and computes only nonzero weights can deliver up to a 10x improvement in speed, efficiency, and memory footprint. Specifically, the AI-ADAM-50 enables home appliance manufacturers to implement sophisticated wake-up and control functionality, allowing other system controllers and connectivity modules to drop into sleep mode and consume substantially less power when a user is not interacting with the system. This capability can be used to listen until a user's voice command is received, and then to either process the command on-device or wake the system to send the command to the cloud. Femtosense and ABOV developed the AI-ADAM-300 MCU in strategic collaboration, leveraging the core strengths of each partner. A ABOV has verified AI-ADAM-100's top-notch voice command recognition performance under multiple noise conditions, meeting the requirements of leading customers. Global home appliance makers are working to reduce the number of tons on their devices and streamline the user experience. AI-based voice command can accelerate this trend. Engineering samples of the AI-ADAM -100 are available now with commercial mass production targeted for later this year. Development support includes software tools, evaluation boards, and demo AI models, including Smart Home Appliance Wake-up and Control. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Jul 05

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 5.7% 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 Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (5.3% operating cash flow to total debt). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.

New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 110% The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 1.9% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future.
