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 Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.4x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 15% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (ج.م317.0m market cap, or US$10.2m). Buying Opportunity • May 18
