==Risks== '''Early stage nature of operations/technology risk''' While it has made significant progress to date, DGI PLC does not yet have an established track record or knowledge base of how its technologies will perform in real world environments. While they have advanced through a number of technology readiness levels and shown promising test results, there is no certainty that the technologies will perform at the same level once in mass production, or that they will not be rendered obsolete before they gain market traction. If these events occur, they may affect the ability of the company to earn income as expected from its current partners and projects. '''Competition risk''' DGI PLC faces competition from a range of larger and smaller businesses across its two segments. As well as there being a number of smaller rivals in the electric drive train market, a number of electric vehicle OEMs design and manufacturer their own components in-house. In the battery industry, there are companies already involved in the manufacture of sodium-ion anodes. With both business segments seeing fast growth and being technologically driven, it can be expected that competition will intensify, with the potential for other parties developing novel technologies more advanced than DGI PLCโs own offerings. '''Intellectual property risk''' As a research and development business it is important for DGI PLC to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights in order to commercial success. While a number of patents have already been granted, the company may become involved in disputes with other parties who may have developed similar technologies. There is also no certainty that the outstanding patent applications will result in patents being granted. '''Funding risk''' To date DGI PLC has been in research and development mode and relied on a range of methods to fund its operations, primarily grants. While revenues have been earned, the company remains loss making at this stage. Following the recent fund raising, there is expected to be sufficient working capital to undertake planned development work, to cover overheads and required capital expenditures, through to product commercialisation. However, until the company scales up to become cash flow positive it faces funding concerns. Whatโs more, in order to take advantage of further investment opportunities, or to pay for corporate costs, DGI PLC may undertake further equity funding raisings, which could be dilutive to shareholders.
