– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Subscription Price
The Subscription Price of HK$0.25 per Offer Share will be payable in full upon application by a Qualifying Shareholder. The Subscription Price represents:
-
(a) a discount of approximately 78.4% to the closing price of HK$1.160 per Consolidated Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation;
-
(b) a discount of approximately 78.5% to the average closing price of approximately HK$1.164 per Consolidated Share for the last 5 consecutive trading days as quoted on the Stock Exchange up to and including the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation;
-
(c) a discount of approximately 77.6% to the average closing price of approximately HK$1.118 per Consolidated Share for the last 10 consecutive trading days as quoted on the Stock Exchange up to and including the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation;
-
(d) a discount of approximately 37.8% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.402 per Consolidated Share based on the closing price of HK$1.160 per Consolidated Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation; and
-
(e) a discount of approximately 7.4% to the closing price of approximately HK$0.270 per Consolidated Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.
The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to, among other things, the market price of the Shares under the prevailing market conditions and the financial position of the Group. As all Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Offer Shares in the same proportion to his/her/its existing shareholding in the Company held on the Record Date, the Directors consider that the discount of the Subscription Price would encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to take up their entitlements so as to maintain their shareholdings in the Company and participate in the future growth of the Group. The Directors consider the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The net price per Offer Share after deducting the related expenses of the Open Offer will be approximately HK$0.244.

No application for excess Offer Shares
No Qualifying Shareholder is entitled to apply for any Offer Shares which are in excess to his/her/its entitlement. Any Offer Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders, and the Offer Shares to which the Non-Qualifying Shareholders would otherwise have been entitled under the Open Offer, will not be available for subscription by other Qualifying Shareholders by way of excess application and will be taken up by the Underwriter.
If application for excess Offer Shares is arranged, the Company will be required to put in additional effort and costs including preparing and arranging the excess application, reviewing the relevant documents, liaising with professional parties and printing of application forms, etc. It is estimated that an additional cost of approximately HK$200,000 to administer the excess application procedures will be incurred, which is not cost effective from the viewpoint of the Company. The Group recorded net loss for year 2013 and 2014. Considering that each Qualifying Shareholder will be given an equal opportunity to participate in the Company’s potential future development by subscribing for his/her/its entitlements under the Open Offer, the Directors consider that the Company will not be justified in making additional effort and incurring additional costs to administer the excess application procedures. The Directors hold the view that the Open Offer allows the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their respective pro rata shareholding in the Company and to participate in the future growth and development of the Group. After arm’s length negotiations with the Underwriter, and taking into account that the related administration costs would be lowered in the absence of excess applications, the Directors consider that it is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole not to offer any excess application to the Qualifying Shareholders.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has conditionally agreed to subscribe or procure subscription for the Offer Shares which have not been taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders and the Offer Shares which the Non-Qualifying Shareholders would otherwise have been entitled to under the Open Offer.
Fractions of Offer Shares
On the basis of provisional allotment of five (5) Offer Shares for every one (1) Consolidated Share held on the Record Date, no fractional entitlements to the Offer Shares will arise under the Open Offer.
Share certificates for the Offer Shares
Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions of the Open Offer, share certificates for all Offer Shares are expected to be posted to the Qualifying Shareholders who have accepted and applied for and paid for the Offer Shares on or before Tuesday, 25 August 2015 by ordinary post at their own risk. If the Open Offer is terminated, refund cheques are expected to be posted on or before Tuesday, 25 August 2015 by ordinary post to the applicants at their own risk.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Application for listing of the Offer Shares
The Company has applied to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Offer Shares on the Stock Exchange.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Offer Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Offer Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Offer Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.
All necessary arrangements will be made to enable the Offer Shares to be admitted into CCASS.
Dealings in the Offer Shares which are registered in the branch register of members of the Company in Hong Kong will be subject to the payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, SFC transaction levy, or any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.
Taxation
The Qualifying Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional advisers if they are in any doubt as to the tax implications of applying for, holding, disposing of or dealing in the Offer Shares. It is emphasised that none of the Company, the Directors or any other parties involved in the Open Offer accepts responsibility of any tax effects or liabilities of holders of the Offer Shares resulting from the application for, holding, disposal of, or dealing in the Offer Shares.
Reasons for the Open Offer and the use of proceeds
The Company is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in the developing, sourcing and selling biometric and radio frequency identification (the ‘‘RFID’’) products and solutions services in the Asia Pacific region. The Group’s business is divided generally into four categories, namely (i) ‘‘Trading of Security of RFID and Biometrics Products’’; (ii) ‘‘Solutions, Projects and Services’’; (iii) ‘‘Internet and Mobile Applications & Related Accessories’’; and (iv) ‘‘Commodities Trading’’.
It is the corporate strategy of the Group to strengthen its existing businesses while concurrently identifying and capitalizing new opportunities to achieve financial growth for the Group and to maximize Shareholders’ value.
On 12 February 2015, a memorandum of understanding (the ‘‘MOU’’) was entered into between a subsidiary of the Company as subscriber and Azooca Incorporation (the ‘‘Azooca’’) as issuer in relation to the possible subscription of part of the equity interest of Azooca (the ‘‘Possible Subscription’’). Azooca is principally engaged in mobile interactive game system using technologies including RFID and Bluetooth. Azooca has launched a
– 17 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
patented interactive play system called Izooca (the ‘‘Izooca’’) that combines real world play with the mobility of tablet computers. Izooca allows users to attach toy figures which then come alive in the interactive virtual world of the Azooca’s mobile game called Cubetopia, where the users can explore, play games and interact with their friends.
Pursuant to the MOU, if formal agreement is not entered by the parties after six months from the date of MOU, the MOU shall be deemed to have expired unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. Therefore the Company targets to formulate a formal agreement in relation to the Possible Subscription before its expiration.
During the negotiation process after signing of the MOU, the subscription amount and payment schedule has aroused intense discussion and dragged on the whole negotiation. Furthermore, considering the limited liquid position of the Group, the financial ability of the Group to support the Possible Subscription has been put in doubt by Azooca even though neither the final subscription amount has been finally agreed. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is still in the process of performing the due diligence (in which the Company is awaiting Azooca to provide certain financial information and financial projections as requested by the Company) and negotiating with Azooca on the structure, terms, payment schedule, and subscription amount of the Possible Subscription. Furthermore, Azooca considers that the financial forecasts and projections are commercially sensitive information and it would like to disclose such information to the Company after the Company has sufficient funding to support the Possible Subscription in order for the formal subscription agreement to be entered into. The Board believes that, with a strong cash position with immediately available funds will support the Possible Subscription and facilitate the negotiation process of the Group. The MOU will remain in effect for six months, up to 11 August 2015 (the ‘‘Long Stop Date’’) (or such longer period as the Company and Azooca may mutually agree to in writing). At the end of July 2015, the Company will have a meeting with Azooca to negotiate in entering into the formal subscription agreement on or before the Long Stop Date. In the event that additional time is required, the Company will discuss with Azooca to extend the Long Stop Date to a later date.. If there is any updated information in relation to the Possible Subscription, the Company will comply with the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules accordingly and make further announcement(s) in this regard as and when appropriate.
In view of growing internet penetration and the explosion of smartphone market, mobile devices are being used in various aspects in daily lives, such as at work and at rest for leisure and entertainment. In this connection, the Board considers that there will be a surge in demand of various mobile applications and the Possible Subscription represents a good investment opportunity for the Group to tap into the growing mobile gaming industry.
Furthermore, given the participation of Azooca in mobile gaming industry involving application of RFID technologies, the Possible Subscription may create synergies effect with the Group’s existing RFID and internet and mobile applications businesses, the Board therefore considers that the Possible Subscription represents an opportunity which has strategic importance for the Group to expand and diversify its existing business portfolio.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board is of the view that the Open Offer will enable the Group to strengthen its capital base and enhance its financial position for future strategic investments when suitable opportunities arise. Furthermore, the Open Offer will give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interests in the Company and participate in the growth and development of the Group. Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that fund raising through the Open Offer is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. However, those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Offer Shares to which they are entitled should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.
Nevertheless, if all the Qualifying Shareholders decide not to take up the provisional allotments of the Offer Shares and the Underwriter takes up all the Offer Shares as the Underwriter, the percentage of shareholding of the existing public Shareholders (excluding the Sub-Underwriter A) will be reduced from approximately 87.8% to 14.6%, representing a dilution effect on the shareholding interests of approximately 83.4% as a result of the Open Offer.
In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Open Offer, the Directors are of the view that:
-
(i) the Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to, among other things, the market price of the Shares under the prevailing market conditions and the financial performance of the Group which has been loss making for the past two years;
-
(ii) in view of the uncertainties in the financial market in Hong Kong as a result of the uncertainties stemming from fluctuating market sentiment, capital flow, trend of interest rate, volatility in money supply in different major economies and different economic decisions made by different countries, the Directors consider it will be difficult to attract the Qualifying Shareholders to reinvest in the Company through the Open Offer if the Subscription Price was not set at a relatively deep discount to the historical trading prices of the Shares;
-
(iii) under the Open Offer, all the Qualifying Shareholders will be offered the same opportunity to maintain their proportionate interests in the Company and to participate in the growth and development of the Company. Should the Qualifying Shareholders participate in the Open Offer, they will be subscribing the Offer Shares at a lower price as compared to the historical and prevailing market price of the Shares;
-
(iv) the relatively deep discount of the Subscription Price has reflected absence of excess application arrangement to Shareholders with an objective to lower the further investment cost of Shareholders to encourage them to take up their entitlements;
– 19 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(v) during the negotiation of the Underwriting Agreement, it has been indicated to the Company that a subscription price with a relatively deep discount to the closing price is necessary to induce the Underwriter to participate in the underwriting of the Underwritten Shares, which is an essential part of the Open Offer;
-
(vi) inherent dilutive nature of open offer in general if the Qualifying Shareholders did not take up their entitlements under the Open Offer in full. However, the Qualifying Shareholders have the first right to decide whether to accept their entitlements of the Offer Shares; and
-
(vii) although the Open Offer has an inherent dilutive nature, it is subject to Shareholders’ approval, which means that the Shareholders have a right to disapprove the Open Offer and the Underwriter has also undertaken to the Company that none of the persons to be procured by the Underwriter to subscribe for the Underwritten Shares will be a substantial Shareholder as a result of the Open Offer.
In view of the foregoing, the Directors consider that the Open Offer structure is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Board considers it is prudent to finance the Group’s long term growth by long term financing, preferably in the form of equity which will not increase the Group’s finance costs. The Board has considered other fund raising alternatives before resolving to the Open Offer, including but not limited to debt financing and rights issue. Debt financing will result in additional interest burden, higher gearing ratio of the Group and subject the Group to repayment obligations. In addition, debt financing may not be achievable on favourable terms in a timely manner. Although rights issue can provide a way out to those Shareholders who do not wish to take up the entitlements by selling nil-paid rights, rights issue will involve extra administrative work and cost for the trading arrangements in relation to the nil-paid rights. If the Company is to carry out a rights issue instead of the Open Offer, additional administrative work would be involved by the Company for arranging the trading of nil-paid rights and liaising with other parties such as the Registrar of the Company, the Underwriter, financial printer and other professional advisers. It is estimated that the additional costs and expenses of around HK$300,000 would be incurred for such administrative work and the arrangement of trading the nil-paid rights. Given the current loss-making position of the Group, the Board considers that it is important for the Group to minimise all costs which may be incurred during the fund raising. In addition, in view of the relatively inactive historical trading volume of the Shares, there is uncertainty of existence of a market to trade in the nil-paid rights. The Board considers that the Open Offer is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole as it offers all the Qualifying Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital base of the Company and enables the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their proportionate interests in the Company and continue to participate in the future development of the Company should they wish to do so. Having considered and balanced against the extra administrative work and additional cost which will be involved for the trading arrangement of nil-paid rights, and given that all Qualifying Shareholders can have
– 20 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
an equal opportunity to maintain their interests in the Company, the Directors are of the view that raising funds by way of the Open Offer is a better option and the Open Offer is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. In view of the above, the Board considered that raising funds by way of the Open Offer is more cost effective and efficient and beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders as a whole than a rights issue.
The gross proceeds from the Open Offer will be approximately HK$313.3 million. The net proceeds from the Open Offer after deducting the estimated expenses are estimated to be approximately HK$306.0 million. The Company intends to apply net proceeds from the Open Offer as to (i) approximately 90% of net proceeds for financing the Possible Subscription and funding requirements for business development of Azooca upon completion of the Possible Subscription and other possible investment opportunities which may arise from time to time; and (ii) approximately 10% of the net proceeds as general working capital for existing businesses of the Group. Among the net proceeds of the Open Offer to be applied for general working capital, (i) approximately 40% for operating expenses of the Group (such as utilities expenses, legal and professional fee, rental expenses and staff costs, etc.); and (ii) approximately 60% for financing future business development opportunities as may be identified. As disclosed in the 2014 Annual Report, the total other operating and administration expenses for the year ended 31 December 2014 was approximately HK$134.7 million with the arithmetical monthly average of operational expenditure of approximately HK$11.2 million. The Company considers that it will be a merit for the Group to have additional working capital for its business operation and development. After considering the net proceeds of the Open Offer to be applied for the general working capital of the Group, the Directors believe that the Group should have sufficient fund to finance its existing operation. Therefore, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no immediate intention or contemplated plan to conduct any equity fund raising activities for the general working capital of the Group in the next 12 months.
If the Possible Subscription does not proceed, the net proceeds which is originally intended to be used for financing the Possible Subscription and business development of Azooca will then be used for other suitable investment opportunities as and when identified by the Group. Apart from the Possible Subscription, the Group is currently in preliminary discussions with other acquisition targets (the ‘‘Potential Acquisition Targets’’). The Group intends to acquire the controlling stake in the Potential Acquisition Targets even if the Possible Subscription proceeds, the Board will consider the ways of financing the Potential Acquisition Targets with reference to the prevailing market conditions and the financial position of the Group. The Potential Acquisition Targets are mainly engaged in mobile and tablets games applications and complementary software for mobile and tablet applications. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no definitive agreements have been signed yet.
In the event that no investment opportunities have been identified, the Company will allocate the 90% estimated net proceeds for developing the existing business segment of ‘‘Internet and Mobile Applications & Related Accessories’’ through either vertical or horizontal acquisitions, co-operative arrangements and joint ventures if and when there are any business opportunities, in order to enhance the Group’s client base and thus increase the Group’s revenue. As stated in the 2014 annual report for the year ended 31 December 2014 (the ‘‘2014 Annual Report’’), the key contributor to the Group’s turnover for 2014 was
– 21 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
the ‘‘Internet and Mobile Applications and Related Accessories’’ segment which contributed approximately 89.3% of total turnover. In view of the rapid growing internet penetration and the expansion of smartphone market, the Directors consider that there will be a rapid growth of mobile and gaming industry together with the surge in demand of various mobile applications. Therefore, the Directors believe that the ‘‘Internet and Mobile Applications and Related Accessories’’ segment will continue to be the key growth area of the Group and the investment in developing the ‘‘Internet and Mobile Applications & Related Accessories’’ segment with growth potential which will generate additional cash flow to the Group.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP
The Group is international developer and solutions provider in the biometric, RFID and security industries and delivers high-performing, convenient security systems for enterprises and consumers. The Group’s business is divided generally into four categories: (i) ‘‘Trading of Security and Biometrics Products’’; (ii) ‘‘Solutions, Projects and Services’’; (iii) ‘‘Internet and Mobile Applications & Related Accessories’’; and (iv) ‘‘Commodities Trading’’.
For the financial year of 2014, the Group recorded turnover of approximately HK$31.8 million, representing a decrease of approximately 93.2% compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease in turnover was attributable to strategic delay in projects implementations and the winding down in commodities trading, whilst continuing diversification into Near-Field Communication (the ‘‘NFC’’) market. Gross margin improved in 2014 which amounted to approximately HK$0.4 million as compared to a gross loss of approximately HK$227.5 million in the same period in 2013 due to better performance of its business units. The Group reported a net loss of approximately HK$130.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2014.
The Group continues to believe that the ‘‘Internet and Mobile Applications and Related Accessories’’ segment as a key growth area, in-line with the rapid growth of the mobile and gaming industry and in particular in online gaming, utilities applications for IOS and Androids and mass advertising.
The Group’s Trading of Security and Biometric Products segment consists of biometrics and RFID products for consumer applications. Whilst its Solutions, Projects and Services segment revolves around the delivery of developed software and equipment to enterprises.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
The Group’s Commodity Trading activities revolve around the trading of general commodities not limited to generally accepted common commodities like metal, ores, silks and so on. Trading is conducted on both open markets local and overseas; and also through private transactions. The Group will wind down the business of commodities trading and allocate its resources to other business segments.
The key contributor to the Group’s turnover for the year ended 31 December 2014 was the Internet and Mobile Applications and Related Accessories segment which contributed approximately 89.2% of total turnover. Following that, revenue from the Trading of Security and Biometric Products segment in the financial year ended 31 December 2014 was approximately HK$3.4 million. This segment experienced an approximate 97.8% decrease compared to HK$152.6 million in the same period in 2013 due to, the strategic delay in projects implementations and the winding down in commodities trading, whilst continuing diversification into NFC market.
The Solutions, Projects and Services business segment has no revenue contribution in 2014 as compared to approximately HK$0.5 million in the financial year ended 31 December 2013. The non-contribution was attributable to the cautious steps taken to strategically delayed projects implementation with expectation of delay in collections due to the uncertain market conditions in areas of its operations.
The focus of the Group will be placed heavily on Internet and Mobile Applications and Related Accessories segment. This is inline with the rapid growth of the mobile and gaming industry, emphasising the Online Gaming and Utilities apps. The Company will focus to develop cross platform apps (Android, IOS, Windows and Blackberry) targeting young adult segments in particular Online Gaming. Later during the years, development of RolePlaying Game (‘‘RPG’’) will be given emphasis with the increasing internet penetration globally.

5. LITIGATION
By way of an Originating Summon filed on 28 November 2013 (HCMP 3210/2013), a minority shareholder of the Company, Veron International Limited (‘‘Veron’’), sought leave from the High Court of Hong Kong to bring a statutory derivative action in the names of the Company and RCG China Holdings Limited (‘‘RCG China’’), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, against certain former directors of the Company and RCG China who were directors at the time of the acquisition of shares in Vast Base Technology Limited and Strong Aim Limited, both were the former subsidiaries of the Company, for investment purposes between December 2007 and April 2010.
Pursuant to a judgment handed down by the Honourable Mr. Justice Ng on 20 July 2015 (the ‘‘Judgment’’), Veron was refused leave to take proceedings in the name of the Company against any of the former directors of the Company. However, Veron was granted leave to take proceedings in the name of RCG China against certain former directors of RCG China.
