White Paper — Conclusion

The partnership with Strength Master Group is clearly an advantage in developing its smart fitness products. However, AMOS White Paper lacks some of the important information for potential token buyers. It will be great if AMOS can provide:

1. Financial forecast and earning model, e.g., price for a Smart Sport Watch, platform service fees (Smart Gym).

2. Marketing plan and its direction, whether AMOS will start it in Taiwan, the headquarter of its influential partner Strength Master Group. How AMOS achieves in different market segments (Ageing population on Page 8).

3. Technical advantages by comparing different sport wearables. AMOS has mentioned on Page 10–11 that users will be rewarded AMOS tokens for accumulated mileage and calorie consumption.
**Be aware of the risks of software/hardware cheating and hacking (e.g., Fitbit)**

4. Information about the ICO (i.e., Restricted countries) should be released on the official website in advance.

5. A brief introduction of its partners and the nature of partnerships, i.e. manufacturing partners of Smart Sport Watch, promotional partners of Smart Gym.

In addition, we are concerned about the absence of

6. Disclaimer, Terms and Conditions as Michelle Wang, the CEO of AMOS, is also the Founder and Executive Director of Strength Master Group, a listed company at emerging stock market in Taiwan, whether the AMOS project is run separately and independently from Strength Master Group and Strength Master Group has performed due diligence to its investors.

They are essential for protecting AMOS, Strength Master Group, investors and token buyers, i.e., scope of rights, refund policy.
