New Risk • Apr 06
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 Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.8x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 37% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (23% accrual ratio). Market cap is less than US$10m (LK₨2.68b market cap, or US$8.48m). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.6% average weekly change). New Risk • Dec 30
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 Sri Lankan stocks, typically moving 7.8% a week.

Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. 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 (2.7x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 36% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (LK₨2.23b market cap, or US$7.19m).

New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Currently running at an operating cash loss. This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. 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). Market cap is less than US$10m (LK₨1.32b market cap, or US$4.02m). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Market cap is less than US$10m (LK₨1.46b market cap, or US$4.55m).
