('RCG' or 'the Group')



RCG ENTERS MAINLAND CHINA THROUGH AN EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT WITH CHINA'S LARGEST IT
DISTRIBUTOR


RCG, a leading international provider of biometric identification products,
security and RFID systems, today announces its entry into the People's Republic
of China ('PRC') market. RCG and Digital China Holdings Limited, listed on the
Hong Kong Stock Exchange ('Digital China' and HKEx stock code 0816), the largest
IT products distributor in the PRC, have signed an exclusive distribution
agreement under which Digital China will become the sole reseller of RCG's
biometric products across mainland China.


Digital China's business spans the entire country with a comprehensive network
of 6,000 resellers and stores. Headquartered in Beijing, Digital China began
operations in 1980 and today has annual revenues of over RMB20billion
(GBP1.4billion). Under the terms of this agreement, Digital China will resell
RCG's high-end biometric products throughout the PRC.


Digital China is also a key distributor of RFID products and is experiencing
increased demand for RFID solutions. RCG, acting as Digital China's recognised
technology partner, will become its appointed RFID solutions provider throughout
the PRC.


The Directors expect that revenues from the PRC will have a substantial positive
impact on Group sales from 2007. RCG is setting up a flagship store in Beijing
and will recruit local staff for its new hub office in Beijing. To support the
development of the PRC market, RCG anticipates investing approximately GBP1m on
staff, sales and marketing during 2006 and 2007.


Dr Raymond Chu, RCG CEO, said:


'This is a very important strategic development for RCG and a highly
complementary deal for both parties. The agreement gives us immediate scale and
reach across the entire PRC market and a prestigious technology partnership with
one of the country's most respected companies.'


'With its technical expertise and high quality client base, Digital China is the
ideal reseller for our market-leading fingerprint and facial recognition
systems. I believe that RCG's skills and experience in RFID will significantly
strengthen Digital China's offering in this area. We are delighted to be
entering into this agreement with Digital China and look forward to a mutually
beneficial long-term partnership.


'The opportunity in the PRC is clear, with the economy growing approximately 10%
per annum, and with sales in biometrics alone forecast to grow to more than
US$1bn per year by 2010. However, for a specialist company such as RCG, finding
the right channel to market is essential for breaking into the PRC, and it is
for this reason, that we are particularly delighted with this agreement.'



Mao Xiangqian, Senior Vice President, General Manager of General IT Unit,
Digital China commented:

'We are delighted to partner with RCG who are pioneers in the biometrics, RFID
and security solutions sector. This is an ideal cooperation as we have a strong
distribution network and RCG has excellent products and advanced technology
know-how. Digital China will work closely with RCG to penetrate the biometric
and RFID industry in the PRC, providing the most advanced IT and security
solution to enterprise, home and individual users'.

Growth strategy appears on track, the potential of this deal would seem very significant. I wonder if they will get any contracts related to the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing? Long Term Holder & this share pays a Divi too! :-)

argos7 - 18 Aug 2006 23:40 - 26 of 295

a good point about the olympics i hope there some deals for rcg, i think this share will be worth 5 in 5 years easily.

silvermede - 19 Aug 2006 16:06 - 27 of 295

RCG's Deal with Digital China is mentioned in the Times Business Section (Sat 19 Aug 06). :-)

silvermede - 31 Aug 2006 16:06 - 28 of 295

This share is really starting to move up now, perhaps people are recognising the real value and growth potential of this company and the recent Digital China deal.:-)

argos7 - 31 Aug 2006 21:14 - 29 of 295

i totally agree mate and purchased some 2000 more shares, rcg will be massive in 5 years time. new web site design also!!!!
The Drax power station protest is the reason for the share price move on 31/8/6. also secure design is another biometric to look at.

PapalPower - 01 Sep 2006 04:13 - 30 of 295

Nice to see it moving up again :)

silvermede - 19 Sep 2006 10:58 - 31 of 295

On the move up as we approach interim results next week (26 Sep 06). :-)

argos7 - 19 Sep 2006 17:51 - 32 of 295

lots of sells in the afternoon though, i have taken a guess from past performance as to the results, 8 million profit on sales of 24 million for the first 6 months that would be quite something.
