This agreement announced today significantly increases the top line and bottom line numbers for TAP and is an indication of where this company is going post merger with TAP. We feel strongly that there is much more to come and we are very pleased to be making this announcement today and congratulate the team at TAP for this additional contract on top of what has been announced recently in terms of new business from existing clients and new deployment of mobile stored value card service to some existing TAP clients.”
Calinda Lee, General Manager of TAP Services (HK) Ltd. stated, “On top of the size of this order, which is more than 1/3 of our 2012 budget and solidifies our standing in the retail solution market in Asia, the fact that the end-user is opening on average 1 shop per day in the PRC makes this deal extra attractive to us and it also represents a good foundation to build and expand our Retail Alliance and mobile Stored Value Card initiative which is a virtual gift card and virtual loyalty type solution.”
