New Risk • May 01
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 1.5% 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 (20% average weekly change). Negative equity (-CA$661k). Earnings have declined by 1.5% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$6.07m market cap, or US$4.46m). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (30% increase in shares outstanding). Announcement • Mar 02
