Team Opinion:
Several shareholders asked questions throughout the general meeting, but they were avoiding answering them. For financial issues, most of them are answered by auditors. But when asked about future prospect of the company, we felt that management had reservations.

For the new law in March next year, this is to strengthen activities to
suppress the 4D underground. When thousand of illegal lottery group
been suppressed, and consumer will buy lottery from Sport Toto, and it
will help the business performance.
Our favorite is that they are working with Magnum to open two stores
next to each other. This is a good plan, as it will convenient for
customers, and allows customers to buy lottery from both companies. This
is a win-win strategy.
