Shipments of Tracer and Scanners to Major Customers Commence

Sydney, May 25, 2015 AEST (ABN Newswire) - The Board of anti-counterfeiting technology Company YPB Group Limited (googlechartASX:YPB) (YPB, the Company) is pleased to announce that shipments of invisible tracer, ink masterbatch and T2 scanners have commenced in Q2 with corresponding revenues, and volumes are planned to increase from Q3 and Q4 2015.

Highlights

- YPB Group has commenced supply of invisible tracer, master batch and scanners to the major contracts recently announced

- Total gross revenues of up A$26m will flow from these contracts

- Hundreds-of-millions, and potentially billions, of items will be protected by YPB technology in China under these contracts

- Tracer production capacity significantly increased to meet supply requirements for these and future contracts

Two significant China centric supply contracts for YPB's unique Tracer-Scanner anti-counterfeit technology were announced in January; a 5-year contract with Shenzhen Shensaier Ltd, a major supplier to China's tobacco (ASX announcement, 13 January 2015 and a 4-year contract with Hicap Closures Company Ltd, a major international supplier of solutions for bottle closures (ASX announcement, 30 January 2015).

As previously advised, the potential total gross revenues associated with these supply contracts is estimated to be in the region of A$26 million over their terms and these form a strong foundation for revenue in China.

With tracer and scanner shipments now underway, YPB tracer will be applied to protect up to 2 billion bottle closures and a similar number of cigarette packs and alcohol bottles through the ink on the labels under these contracts.

The potential volumes of tracer and scanners required has driven the need to significantly increase YPB's capacity to produce its invisible tracer under its Patents, and the Company is pleased to advise that the increased capacity has now been implemented and will fulfil the volumes associated with these contracts.

YPB Executive Chairman and CEO Mr John Houston said:

"The commencement of shipments following extensive factory and customer trials is one of the most important milestones YPB has achieved in our time as a listed entity. We see these supply contracts as strategically significant in both the access to brands which YPB will protect and the revenues which will flow."
