New Risk • Jul 26
New major risk - Revenue size The company makes less than US$1m in revenue. This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Duyuru • Jul 21

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.3% 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 0.3% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Reported Earnings • Jul 22
