New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 21% 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 (21% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (LK₨6.11b market cap, or US$18.5m). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Mar 19

New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 20% Last year net profit margin: 30% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks High level of non-cash earnings (44% accrual ratio). Market cap is less than US$10m (LK₨1.63b market cap, or US$5.07m). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Dividend per share is over 17x cash flows per share. Dividend yield: 4.2% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks High level of non-cash earnings (36% accrual ratio). Market cap is less than US$10m (LK₨1.51b market cap, or US$4.93m). Minor Risk Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (dividend per share is over 17x cash flows per share).
