Viimastel aastatel finantstulemuste poole pealt väga palju positiivselt üllatanud, suutnud ületada ootusi järkjärgult iga kvartali puhul, seejuures suurendanud nii käibe kui kasuminumbreid. Ettevõtte finantsilised kohustused on muutunud marginaalsetel tasemetel, suuri lisakohustusi tundub, et võetud pole.

Ettevõtte struktuuri poolelt tundub asi üldiselt stabiilne. Suurim risk millele pidevalt tähelepanu pööratakse on Hiinas registeeritud tütarfirma ACM Shanghai, millest omab emafirma 82.1%. Peamine risk väljendub Hiina seadusandluse poole pealt – tegemist on riigiga, kus võidakse võtta vastu ootamatuid ja kriitilisi otsusi/seadusi, mis võivad nii negatiivselt kui positiivselt mõjuda ettevõtte kui terviku tulemustele.
