It's like they're building the discount brokerage arm for Royal Bank--they have a partnership with a huge Italian bank, Sanpaolo, and are thoroughly testing that system--testing is almost complete and they're awaiting government approval. Once the Italian government approves them by end-September, the new discount brokerage system could lead to a spin-out by the end of the year. This is a great long-term opportunity. ALY can build other systems at other European banks.

They are working with a very large Italian bank that is about the same size as BMO. Working on a program, MarketWall, that will allow trading on mobile. They are adding AI for fundamentals and appropriateness for dividend coverage and risk level. They announced they have all the IPs needed. The company wants to sell this product to other banks through white-label. There is huge volume growth opportunities. In 3 months, hopefully we will get a decision from the Italians. A great opportunity going forward.
