New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Australian stocks, typically moving 14% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 43% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (107% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$163k revenue, or US$116k). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (AU$560k sold). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$92.8m market cap, or US$66.0m). New Risk • May 12
New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: AU$560k 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 Risks Earnings have declined by 43% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (107% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$163k revenue, or US$118k).
