RISK FACTORS
General Risk Factors
There are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There are also a range of specific risks associated with the Company’s business.
No Profit to Date, Uncertainty of Future Profitability
The Company has incurred losses and it is therefore not possible to evaluate the future prospects based on past performance.
Other factors that will determine the Company’s profitability are its ability to manage its costs, to execute its development and growth strategies, economic conditions in the markets the Company operates, competitive factors and regulatory developments. Accordingly, the extent of future profits, if any and the time required to achieve a sustained profitability is uncertain. Moreover, the level of such profitability cannot be predicted and may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
Additional Requirements for Capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from is existing projects and potentially the AWFS JV, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised in the Offer. Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to Shareholders, and if debt financing is required, it could reduce the scope of the Company’s’ operations and as a consequence reduce its activities and future activities.
General Economic Conditions
Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include, the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, industrial disruption, interest rates and the rate inflation.
Managing Growth
The Company’s success will depend on its ability to expand its operations. If the company is unable to successfully manage the expansion of its business, its financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Operating Risks
Operating activities are subject to numerous risks, many of which are beyond the Company’s control
