New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: ₩152.1b (US$99.2m) 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 Risk High level of non-cash earnings (23% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Market cap is less than US$100m (₩152.1b market cap, or US$99.2m).

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 23% 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 (23% accrual ratio).

Olympus Launches HANAROSTENT Esophagus Through-the-Scope Stent Olympus announced the commercial launch of HANAROSTENT Esophagus TTS self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) made by M.I. Tech and distributed exclusively through Olympus in the U.S. The Through-the-Scope (TTS) esophageal stent, the newest addition to the Olympus self-expanding stent portfolio, helps to achieve luminal patency in a variety of clinical applications and is designed for use in palliative treatment of esophageal stricture and/or trachea-esophageal fistula caused by malignant tumors. The stent offers a fully covered or partially covered option. Pre-loaded into the delivery system, the HANAROSTENT Esophagus TTS fits down the working channel of a standard therapeutic gastroscope and is deployed for placement in the esophagus. The hook-and-cross nitinol design, unique to HANAROSTENT products, was designed with patient comfort in mind and enables optimal radial and axial force allowing for the flexibility to conform to a patient's anatomy and precisely target the stricture. Unlike over-the-wire esophageal stents, the new 10.5F HANAROSTENT Esophagus TTS allows for accurate and easy esophageal stenting under direct endoscopic visualization. Additional benefits of the new esophageal stent include: Minimized Use of Fluoroscopy: Direct visualization of the lumen allows physicians to place the stent with reduced dependence on fluoroscopy; Increased Procedural Efficiency: Through-the-Scope application allows for fewer scope/device exchanges, leading to increased efficiency and potential reduction of procedure time; Unique Wire Structure: Hook-and-cross nitinol design provides optimal radial and axial force aimed to minimize the impact of retrosternal pressure, which can be painful to patients; Intuitive Delivery System: Long delivery length options, ability to fully recapture stent up to a point-of-no-return, as well as a retrieval lasso for stent repositioning combine to allow for safety and precision of placement for users of all experience levels.
