Total value of shares sold: UK£60k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 21% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite being loss-making.

New Risk • Apr 30New minor risk - Insider sellingThere has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: UK£60k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 21% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (UK£60k sold). Market cap is less than US$100m (UK£42.9m market cap, or US$58.1m).
