New Risk • Jun 02
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.4% 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 Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (0.4% operating cash flow to total debt). Shares are highly illiquid. Earnings have declined by 0.4% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (лв115.8m market cap, or US$67.1m). Reported Earnings • Jun 02

It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (41% net debt to equity). Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Market cap is less than US$100m (лв125.7m market cap, or US$69.9m). New Risk • Nov 22

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: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (4.6% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (лв132.9m market cap, or US$74.1m). Reported Earnings • Nov 04
