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). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10.0% average weekly change). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.
