Key Risks - General

COVID-19 Events related to the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) have resulted in significant market volatility. There is continued uncertainty as to ongoing and futureresponse of governments and authorities globally as well as a likelihood of an Australian economic recession of unknown durationor severity. As such, the fullimpact of COVID-19 to consumer behaviour, suppliers, employees and the Company are not fully known. Given this, the impact of COVID-19 could potentially bematerially adverse to Spectur'sfinancial and operational performance.
Competition The solar power, visual AI and IOT industry is subject to competition based on factors including price, service, quality, performance standards, informationsecurity, innovation and the ability to provide customers with an appropriate range of reliable and tailored services in a timely manner.
Competition from newentrants to the industry Spectur operates in an increasingly competitive industry where a number of participants are, or may, target entry into the industry with new and innovativeproducts aimed at the industry. New entrants to the industry may offer more competitive prices for products due to a range offactors, including if they havegreater financial resources than Spectur, which may enable them to offer products at more competitive prices while they establish their business. New entrantsmay also compete against Spectur with cheaper products that have less functionality than Spectur'soffering.
Failure to retain existingcustomers and attractnew customers Spectur'sbusiness is dependent on its ability to retain its existing customers and attract new customers. Part of Spectur'sbusiness operates under subscriptionmodels which are exposed to the risk of termination, expiry and non-renewal.
Spectur is not yetprofit making Spectur has historically focused on developing its platform and product, growing its customer base through relationships withchannel partners, and therecruitment of sales and marketing staff. While revenue has grown from FY14 to FY19, the focus on revenue growth has seen an increase in the cost base, resultingin the business historically generating NPAT losses and an expectation that NPAT losses will continue in the future. If Spectur fails to generate positive NPAT in thefuture it may be required to raise further capital and Spectur'sfuture operations may be adversely affected and its reputation may be damaged.
Reliance onproduct line Spectur'sbusiness model is substantially reliant upon a limited range of products, being the HD and new STA systems. Spectur'ssuccess depends on its ability tokeep customers satisfied with its products. There is a risk that Spectur fails to properly maintain its products and IOT services or that updates or new releases mayintroduce errors or performance issues which could cause customer dissatisfaction and damage to reputation. Spectur'sreputation may also suffer as a result ofreal or perceived reductions in functionality, product quality, reliability, security, value and customer support or a failure to reflect developments in technology orin the commercial, compliance and regulatory environment. Any of these factors may result in reduced sales and usage, loss ofcustomers and an inability toattract new customers and possibly legal claims by customers.
Reliance on third party ITsuppliers and disruption oftechnology systems Spectur and its customers are dependent on the performance, reliability and availability of Spectur'sIOT technology platforms and communications systems(including third party provider of servers, the internet, telecommunication providers, data centre hosting services and the cloud environment in which Specturprovides its services). There is a risk that these systems may be adversely affected by disruption, failure, service outages or data corruption that could occur as aresult of computer viruses, malware, cyber attacks or other disruptions including natural disasters, power outages or other similar events.

Key Risks - General

Spectur'sAbility to attract andretain key staff success depends to a significant extent on its key personnel, in particular the senior management team. Spectur'ssenior management haveextensive experience in the core and unique operations of the business. The loss of key members of senior management may adversely affect Spectur'sability to develop its products or implement its business strategies and may adversely affect its future financial performance.An investment in Spectur is also subject to general risks including those related to general economic conditions, availability of funding, refinancing
General Risk requirements, foreign exchange risk, share price volatility, interest rates, debt financial distress of customers, attractingand retaining employees, health,safety and environment issues, litigation and disputes, financial forecasts, regulatory issues, changes in law, changes in accounting policy and standards,taxation implications, insurance issues, force majeure, counterparty risk, intellectual property risk and reputational risk.
••••••Investment Risk•••••• There are general risks associated with investments in equity capital such as Spectur shares. The trading price of Spectur shares may fluctuate withmovements in equity capital markets in Australia and internationally. This may result in the market price for the New Shares being less or more than theOffer Price. Generally applicable factors which may affect the market price of Spectur shares include:the impact of COVID-19 (or other pandemics or epidemics), including prolonged reduction in activity in the business' key marketsand on Spectur'sworkforce, industry, customers and supply chains, including as a result of governmental action, work stoppages, lockdowns, quarantines, travelrestrictions and the impact on the economics and share markets of the key markets in which Spectur operates;general movements in Australian and international stock markets;investor sentiment;Australian and international economic conditions and outlook;changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation;changes in government legislation and policies, including taxation laws;loss of key personnel and delays in replacement;announcement of new technologies;epidemics or pandemics such as COVID-19;geo political instability, including international hostilities and acts of terrorism, the response to COVID-19 and travel restrictions;demand for and supply of Spectur shares;announcements and results of competitors; and analyst reports.No assurances can be given that the New Shares will trade at or above the Offer price. None of Spectur, its directors or any other person guarantees themarket performance of the New Shares. The financial position, performance and prospects of Spectur and Spectur'sshare price may be adversely affectedby the worsening of general economic conditions in Australia (including, the adverse impacts of, and the responses to, COVID-19), as well as internationalmarket conditions and related factors. It is also possible new risks might emerge as a result of Australian or global marketsexperiencing extreme stress, orexisting risks may manifest themselves in ways that are not currently foreseeable.
