New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 30% 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 (30% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Mar 19

It may also indicate 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Feb 25

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 34% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. New Risk • Dec 02
New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: ₩135.0b (US$96.3m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. New Risk • Sep 17
New major risk - Financial data availability The company has not reported any financial data. This is considered a major risk. With no or incomplete audited reported financial data, it is virtually impossible to assess the company's investment potential. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk No financial data reported. Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.0% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Mar 26
Full year 2023 earnings released: ₩323 loss per share (vs ₩1,298 profit in FY 2022) Full year 2023 results: ₩323 loss per share (down from ₩1,298 profit in FY 2022). Revenue: ₩26.0b (down 82% from FY 2022). Net loss: ₩6.98b (down 125% from profit in FY 2022). Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 55% per year but the company’s share price has only fallen by 14% per year, which means it has not declined as severely as earnings.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.4% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk.

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 2.4% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.2% increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • Nov 07
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.2% 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 Risk High level of non-cash earnings (76% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.3% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.2% increase in shares outstanding). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Aug 18
