New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 88% 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 (-US$6.1m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 88% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$2.6m net loss next year). Revenue is less than US$5m (US$1.4m revenue). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$45.2m market cap). Duyuru • Apr 25

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 American stocks, typically moving 17% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. 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. 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 (-US$6.1m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change).

New major risk - Financial position The company has less than a year of cash runway based on its current free cash flow trend. Free cash flow: -US$6.1m This is considered a major risk.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$76.5m 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. 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 (-US$1.1m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (22% average weekly change). Negative equity (-US$596k). Revenue has declined by 4.7% over the past year. Minor Risks Revenue is less than US$5m (US$1.4m revenue). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$76.5m market cap). Duyuru • Jun 10
