Ha! If they didn't report the risk, the shareholders would think the directors were living in a dream world. This way, they can't say they weren't warned.

At least the directors are being upfront about the risks. That's better than trying to hide it from the shareholders.

I agree, the risk report doesn't really provide any useful new information. The shareholders probably already knew about these kinds of risks.

But does the risk report really provide useful information to the shareholders? I'm not sure about that.

The risk report definitely doesn't mean the shareholders know exactly how bad the risk is. It's just a general acknowledgment of the risks involved in these joint ventures.
