New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 25% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 25% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (8.8% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (₩93.1b market cap, or US$67.1m). New Risk • Aug 30

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 25% per year over the past 5 years.

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 71% 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 Risks Revenue has declined by 19% over the past year. High level of non-cash earnings (71% accrual ratio).
