New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 19% 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 Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$74k free cash flow). Shares are highly illiquid. Negative equity (-CA$349k). Earnings have declined by 19% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$2.11m market cap, or US$1.52m).

New Risk • May 31
New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$193k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. 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). Shares are highly illiquid. Negative equity (-CA$415k). Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$2.96m market cap, or US$2.17m). Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (5.2% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$193k sold). New Risk • May 01
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). Shares are highly illiquid. Negative equity (-CA$389k). Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$2.11m market cap, or US$1.53m). Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (5.2% increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • Apr 17
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 5.2% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). 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 Shares are highly illiquid. Negative equity (-CA$330k). Earnings have declined by 29% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$2.53m market cap, or US$1.83m). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (5.2% increase in shares outstanding).
