Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Market cap is less than US$10m (JP¥1.42b market cap, or US$9.22m).

While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 0.5% per year over the past 5 years.
