You need to distinguish between existing face mask producers who are able to reap the benefits of higher average selling prices due to a rise in demand and companies who just want to join the bandwagon. Companies that were mentioned above are only just planning to invest in the production lines and may take 0.5-1 year to be ready. EG is already producing, it does not even need to make an announcement to tell the world. Nobody is forcing you to do anything, you are smart enough to decide.

Empire Resorts and Kien Huat also amended Kien Huat's existing preferred stock commitment letter with the Company, which, subject to the terms thereof, enhances Empire Resorts' access to capital through February 2020. The amendment increases Kien Huat's remaining commitments from $52 million to $77 million. This credit support will enable the Company to continue satisfying its debt obligations, while facilitating its operating strategy.

nder the terms of the agreement, Empire Resorts' special committee, with the assistance of its financial advisor, will conduct a 10-business day "go-shop" process following the date of the announcement of the definitive agreement, during which it will actively initiate, solicit, encourage and evaluate alternative acquisition proposals, and potentially enter into negotiations with any parties that may offer alternative acquisition proposals.

Thanks, just hoped to analyse things from a different angle. Media and analysts have portrayed the deal very negatively but without much reasoning.

The negative EBITDA narrowed to USD9,288,000 from USD12,843,000. At this pace, the company would be EBITDA positive in 3 quarters.

The second quarter was expected to be bad. Because of:

“VGM operations and food and beverage service at Monticello Raceway ceased on April 23, 2019. We generate racing revenues through pari-mutuel wagering on the running of live harness horse races, the import simulcasting of harness and thoroughbred horse races from racetracks across the country and internationally, and the export simulcasting of our races to offsite pari-mutuel wagering facilities.”

However, this issue has been resolved and would likely improve in the future:

“On June 20, 2019, the New York State legislature approved the creation of a VGM facility in Orange County, New York. In particular, the legislation allows the Company to operate the new VGM facility in Orange County, subject to certain statutory requirements relating to, among other things, employment levels at the Company’s facilities, continued operation of racing at Monticello Raceway, location of the VGM facility within Orange County and entry into a mitigation agreement between the Company and the VGM facility operating at the Yonkers racetrack. The Company will work with local, state and federal agencies and officials to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to designate the site for, and begin construction on, the new VGM facility.”

Higher GGR in 2Q despite cessation of VGM at Monticello while expenses remained flat:

“Gaming revenues increased $5.6 million, or 13.8%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, from $40.3 million to $45.9 million. The increase in gaming revenues was primarily due to increased customer visits and higher hold percentages in the current period, which generated $63.9 million in gross gaming revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $44.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018. Monticello Casino and Raceway generated $1.0 million in gross gaming revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $8.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in gaming revenues at Monticello Casino and Raceway was due to the closure of the VGM facility on April 23, 2019.

Gaming expenses were flat for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, at $34.5 million, respectively.“

Patient_invest, one quarter doesn't really mean much unless you are just buying for a few days or weeks.

The most important takeaway from the report is that the company is not that badly hurt by the higher Casino Duty and hence the value will recover over time.

Please read my articles. There is an example by customs on how to calculate.

I won't speculate on that.

What I am sure of is that the company was able to grow out of higher taxes. Or was not impacted much by higher taxes. Either possibility is good.

After casino tax.

Management attributed the good quarter due to 'higher win rate' or 'luck factor'. Don't have to be a genius to know that luck, played out over thousands and thousands of hands is dissipated. The variance over a large quantity of sample size becomes insignificant.

Malaysia gaming ops is the largest contributor to gaming revenue. The gaming tax is lower at all other countries. Hence it should actually bring down the gaming tax rate. Already excluded income tax paid.

Dr Mahathir called Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong an “exemplary corporate citizen” who complied with regulations and policies and willingly supported the Govern-ment’s restructuring efforts and was still able to attain outstanding success.

Not really the case:
