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 are forecast to decline by an average of 12% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.8% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥12.5b market cap, or US$80.4m). New Risk • Nov 18

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: JP¥14.7b (US$99.2m) 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.

Fast Accounting Announces the Launch of Deep Dean Fast Accounting announced the launch of "Deep Dean," a proprietary AI model designed to transform how businesses manage accounting, tax, and finance operations. Purpose-built using an internally developed large language model (LLM), Deep Dean has demonstrated passing-level performance across U.S. CPA (USCPA) exam standards -- outperforming general-purpose AI models like GPT-4o in specialized tasks. Performance Comparison Between Deep Dean and GPT-4o: Compared to the highly versatile GPT-4o, Deep Dean demonstrates a higher degree of specialization and consistently maintains high performance levels that meet or exceed the passing standard. The announcement marks a major milestone in Fast Accounting's ongoing mission to achieve "Accounting Singularity" - the point where AI exceeds human capabilities in accounting processes. Deep Dean was developed to address the specialized demands of accounting and finance professionals. To benchmark its expertise, Fast Accounting tested Deep Dean against publicly available questions from the 2024 U.S. CPA exam, evaluating both multiple-choice and task-based simulation (TBS) sections across six subjects. While the U.S. CPA test includes unscored pretest questions, Fast Accounting sets a rigorous new standard: achieving 90% accuracy per section, compared to the 75% benchmark typically required for passing. Deep Dean exceeded expectations, delivering 90% or higher accuracy in five of six subjects -- including all three core subjects: FAR (Financial Accounting and Reporting); AUD (Auditing and Attestation); REG (Regulation). The AI maintained an 86% accuracy rate in the sixth subject, demonstrating mastery across a broad range of accounting competencies. In comparison testing, Deep Dean consistently outperformed GPT-4o, a leading general-purpose AI, in accounting-specific tasks. Fast Accounting established its U.S. presence in February 2025 to support U.S. enterprises seeking next-generation accounting automation solutions. With Deep Dean's proven ability to meet U.S. CPA standards, the company is well-positioned to help organizations automate labor-intensive tasks, mitigate fraud/human error, and free accounting professionals to focus on more strategic work. Future developments will further expand Deep Dean's capabilities into areas such as advanced bookkeeping and consolidated accounting. Aankondiging • Apr 08

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.5% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). 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: Major Risks No financial data reported. Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.5% increase in shares outstanding). Aankondiging • Jan 10
