New Risk • Jun 09
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 Hong Kong stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a minor risk.

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 Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (0.8x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 0.7% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.0% net profit margin). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jun 04

New Risk • Apr 08
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.7% 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 Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (0.8x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 0.7% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results.

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 37% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (37% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.
