- EGMI has continued to review commercial opportunities for sales promotions, gaming and charity fund raising.


The company commented, "We are in the process of concluding our reorganization and with the significant success witnessed by the recent lottery orders, we are now poised to begin to benefit from the enormous potential of this innovative product. Our activity over the past several months has grown materially and we are now entering a stage in which our results will reflect these efforts.


"The Company has begun to experience the results of its shelf game strategy which was introduced earlier this year. This strategy standardizes Electronic GameCards in four formats that can now be supplied to customers within a four week turn-around period. Additionally we are witnessing a broad mix of commercial opportunities that are coming on stream across the gaming and charitable markets."
