New Risk • Apr 03
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 Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Market cap is less than US$100m (LK₨21.7b market cap, or US$68.9m). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Mar 26

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Sri Lankan stocks, typically moving 11% a week.

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: LK₨499.5m (US$1.52m) This is considered a major 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Market cap is less than US$10m (LK₨499.5m market cap, or US$1.52m).
