New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 41% 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 (19% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 41% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (US$7.01m market cap). Minor Risk Revenue is less than US$5m (JP¥248m revenue, or US$1.5m).

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 (20% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$10m (US$9.79m market cap). Minor Risks High level of debt (1,958% net debt to equity). Revenue is less than US$5m (JP¥243m revenue, or US$1.6m). New Risk • Feb 07
