Investor sentiment improves as stock rises 17% After last week's 17% share price gain to UK£2.39, the stock trades at a forward P/E ratio of 15x. Average forward P/E is 16x in the Media industry in the United Kingdom. Total loss to shareholders of 20% over the past three years. New Risk • Mar 10
New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 115% Cash payout ratio: 198% Dividend yield: 5.7% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (1.2x net interest cover). Negative equity (-UK£13m). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 115% Cash payout ratio: 198% Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.7% net profit margin).

Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (42% earnings payout ratio) but not covered by cash flows (198% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 14% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. EPS is expected to grow by 153% over the next 3 years, which should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover. Reported Earnings • Mar 05

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: UK£82.0m (US$99.7m) 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Shares are highly illiquid. Negative equity (-UK£4.5m). High level of non-cash earnings (168% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.
