To the best of the Director's knowledge, the loss for 2016 is mainly attributable to a number of factors as below:

  • decrease in revenue from the RF-SIM business;

  • increase in costs from the call centre business; and

  • the loss of Global Link Communications Holdings Limited ("GLCH Group") is consolidated to the results of our Group from the date of completion of the subscription of shares in GLCH Group in April 2016 up to 31 December 2016.

During the course of audit work, our auditors are of the view that the GLCH Group should remain as a subsidiary group of the Company and its financial results should remain to be consolidated after completion of the distribution in specie of 254,336,880 shares in GLCH Group as previously announced by the Company on 16 November 2016. The Board adopts and agrees with such view from the auditors.
