Item 1A. Risk Factors
See “Item 1A RISK FACTORS” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, for a discussion of risk factors relating to (i) our business, (ii) operating in South Africa and other foreign markets, (iii) government regulation, and (iv) our common stock. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
We have purchased a significant amount of prepaid airtime voucher inventory which exposes us to market risk for this inventory as well as losses if the mobile network operators are unable to perform.
Historically, we have purchased a significant amount of prepaid airtime inventory vouchers in order to take advantage of discounted pricing for this inventory. As of March 31, 2023, the carrying value of this inventory is ZAR 164.0 million ($9.2 million translated at exchange rates applicable as of March 31, 2023) . We expect to sell this inventory over the next five months which exposes us to market risk for this inventory. The underlying service related to these airtime vouchers is provided by South Africa’s four largest mobile network operators operating in South Africa and therefore we are also exposed to performance risk by these operators. We would be unable to sell these prepaid airtime vouchers if the mobile network operators were unable to provide their services and we would need to write this inventory off. Failure to recover the carrying value of this inventory may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
