Key risks Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities in the Company involves a number of risks. The summary risk factors set out in this section, and other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. Sales and marketing Orexplore's ability to convert the capabilities of its technologies into solutions and services that customers will purchase remains a risk to its growth strategy. The success of commercialisation will relate to the acceptance and adoption of Orexplore's offerings, driven in part by perceived value-add relative to pricing, as well as overcoming adoption hurdles including perceived disruption to the customer's established processes, resistance to change, perceived threat of technology substitution by geologists leading to potential job losses, cost and budgeting constraints and other barriers. Take up of services will involve demonstration of the solutions against current practices; demonstration of successful case studies; quantitative business case type support with customers at varying levels within their organisations; well-presented value-creation and risk- reduction propositions for any new functionality or processes unlocked by the technology; and effective marketing programmes to raise market awareness of Orexplore. The rate of adoption is expected to also be driven partially by the increasing rate of digitalisation within the mining industry, which has traditionally been a late-adopter of new technology. 40 Future Capital requirements As at the date of this Entitlement Offer, Orexplore is currently loss making and is expected to generate losses in future periods and may require further financing over and above the amounts previously invested and any amounts raised pursuant to this Entitlement Offer (including where the Company achieves its stated objectives). Although the Directors consider that the Company will, on completion of the Entitlement Offer, have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives and to satisfy the anticipated current working capital and other capital requirements previously set out, there can be no assurance that such objectives can continue to be met in the future without securing further funding. It is however noted that the Directors consider that, based on the intended use of funds set out in this Entitlement Offer, the amounts raised, together with the Company's existing cash reserves as at the date of this Entitlement Offer, will provide the Company sufficient funding for approximately 6 months of operations. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors, including the pace and magnitude of the development of its business and sales, and the Company may need to raise additional funds (debt or equity) from time to time to finance the ongoing development and commercialisation of its technology and to meet its other longer-term objectives. Should the Company require additional funding, no assurances can be made that sufficient financing, if and when needed, will be available on terms appropriate or favourable to the Company, or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may undertake additional offerings of Securities in the future. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the current market price (or Offer Price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company's existing Shareholders will be diluted. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.
