What management said
Excellent. Thank you, Sean. Thank you, Peter. So at this time, we would like to field questions with respect to the founders' address and the CEO address. Again, let me reiterate, if you have a question that's outside of that, we'll get to that in another portion of the AGM. So why don't we start with the online platform. Kim, hopefully, you can hear me okay. Do we have any questions, comments through the platform?
Antonio, we do have a number of questions, many of them centers around revenue, but we consolidate that into one will provide the answers. And that is whether the Board can outline what it expects in its 1-, 3- and 5-year strategy regarding deal flow and chip in sales.
