The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101). The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering as the participation of the insiders was not settled until shortly before closing.

WatchFund, led by Dominic Khoo, Awarded Best Alternative Investment Manager for Greater China at WealthBriefingAsia Awards 2023
- WatchFund is the world’s largest luxury watch investment vehicle, which has outperformed other alternative asset classes at the awards
- This marks its third WealthBriefingAsia award win since 2020, strengthening WatchFund’s position as a trusted steward of alternative investments for investors
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 1 September 2023 – Leading alternative investment vehicle WatchFund has been named as Best Alternative Investment Manager for Greater China at this year’s WealthBriefingAsia Awards. Earlier, WatchFund was also named the Top Collectibles Advice Provider for Greater China in 2021 and the Best Alternative Investment Manager for Southeast Asia in 2020.

Dominic Khoo, founder of WatchFund and Southeast Asia’s only certified watch expert said, “It is an honour to receive the recognition given to WatchFund, which celebrates the track record of full investor alignment that our truly unique proposition offers – by giving investors up to double collateral as their investment grows. We will continue our commitment to be a trusted steward for our investors as a fund manager with unparalleled expertise for this asset class, which has shown to outperform other alternative investments.”
Andrew Deane, Group Head of Business Development for WealthBriefingAsia added, “WealthBriefingAsia were delighted WatchFund were once again winners in our WealthBriefingAsia Awards in 2023. The award was a testament to the firms detailed submission and long history in this unique sector of wealth.”

“WatchFund has consistently delivered strong returns for investors like me, even in an uncertain investment climate. It really speaks to the capabilities of Dominic and his team to understand investment-grade watches that I hold as collateral, when my goal is ultimately investment gains that beat the market,” said Jay Tan, an investor of WatchFund.
Amidst the volatile macroeconomic environment, investors continue to see value and remain invested in alternative funds for diversification, risk mitigation and maximisation of returns, with a higher proportion of investors signalling their desire to increase their allocations in alternative assets in the next three years. Globally, luxury watches are emerging as a strong alternative asset class due to stronger demand and their ability to deliver better price performance over the past five to 10 years.
In particular, Southeast Asia’s alternative asset management sector looks set to continue maturing and drawing more international capital as the investor and fund manager landscape becomes increasingly sophisticated. At the heart of the region’s growth is Singapore, which has seen its AUM in alternative investments grow by 16.4% in 2021, reaching USD 4 trillion, faster than the global AUM growth of 12%.
The growing potential of the alternative investments market and the strong demand for luxury watches, together with WatchFund’s expertise in the luxury watch investment space, cemented its win at the 2023 WealthBriefingAsia awards. WatchFund’s fully-aligned investor model, the only model in the world that survives solely on transaction fees with no annual fees, no fees upon entry and no markup on luxury watches, and its 10-year strong investment track record also played a crucial role in standing out against renowned institutional asset managers.
Domiciled in Singapore, a trusted financial hub in the region, WatchFund is poised to continue riding on the positive wave driven by investors in Asia looking to invest in alternative asset classes, the growth of the alternative investment industry and the strong ecosystem in Singapore supported by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

OctaFX – The popularity of gold and Bitcoin as stores of value is growing again
Gold will rise to $2,500, and Bitcoin will rise to $45,000 by the end of 2023. OctaFX analysts explore the reasons behind the end of the crypto winter and the increase in demand for gold.
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 1 September 2023 – Capital markets come alive in late August and early September, and volatility returns. New trends often emerge, and opportunities to capitalise on them open up. Amidst the constantly changing financial landscape, investors must watch popular instruments like BTC and gold. OctaFX analysts explore the reasons behind the end of the crypto winter and the increase in demand for gold.

Bitcoin is dominating the crypto market while recovering its value
From November 2021 to December 2022, the price of Bitcoin fell more than four times. This period was called crypto winter. However, since the beginning of 2023, Bitcoin price has almost doubled—from $16,500 to $29,200, suggesting that the deep correction phase is over. The difference is also apparent if we compare the dynamics of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. According to CoinGecko Crypto Industry Report, Bitcoin added 6.9% in the second quarter of 2023, while the entire crypto market grew by only 0.14%. Interest in NFT projects and stablecoins decreased, suggesting that Bitcoin’s crypto winter is likely over.
A constant tailwind for Bitcoin
For Bitcoin, being an alternative to fiat money fueled its growth in the early days of the crypto industry. But it wasn’t the only way to contribute to Bitcoin’s rise—investors also started using it as a store of value. For the past few years, those looking for safe-haven assets have put Bitcoin on par with gold and, at the same time, as a counterweight to the US dollar and US treasuries.
OctaFX analyst Kar Yong Ang says that Bitcoin growth is possible if the US Fed starts giving dovish signals: in case of a key rate cut, BTC is likely to grow quite strongly and could reach the $45,000 range by the end of 2023 and up to $30,000 if the rate stays unchanged. His inclination is more towards the second option, as according to the CME Fed watch tool, the rate hike probability at the FOMC meetings in September 2023 is only 16%.
The Turkish crisis forced gold prices down in the second quarter
Since reaching an all-time high of $2075 in August 2020, gold tried to break this level twice: on 8 March 2022 and 4 May 2023. But each time, the price stopped and started to decline. The latest decline in gold prices from May 2023 to the current moment has a fundamental reason. According to the published report of the World Gold Council, net purchases by central banks fell by 64% in the second quarter to 103 tons. This slowdown is mainly due to gold sales by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT), whose net sales totalled 132 tons in the second quarter of 2023.
According to Kar Yong Ang from OctaFX, the CBTR’s actions have made gold prices decline since May 2023. The sales of the Turkish Central Bank were aimed at supporting the economy in an emergency and were more tactical than strategic. Therefore, the upward trend in gold demand in 2023 remains in place.
An additional factor is the anticipated peak of the Fed rate hike cycle and the falling value of the U.S. dollar. Lower rates increase the attractiveness of gold amid falling bond yields. The falling dollar rate makes gold cheaper for holders of other currencies.
Following the comments of Kar Yong Ang, in 2023, gold may rise to a record $2,500 due to falling interest rates amid a non-growing global economy and a weak dollar. Thus, the estimated increase in gold prices can be more than 30%.
Investors should monitor Fed decisions to understand how much gold and Bitcoin will rise. The Fed raises the rate in a pessimistic scenario, making the dollar strong and Bitcoin and gold investments unattractive. In the positive case, the Fed starts to lower the key rate, encouraging investment interest in Bitcoin and gold as the best store of value. In such a case, gold will rise to $2,500 and Bitcoin to $45,000 by the end of 2023. The most likely scenario is neutral—in which the Fed pauses key interest rate changes until the end of 2023, increasing the likelihood of gold’s rise above $2,000 and Bitcoin above $30,000. The starting point of the uptrend will be the FOMC decision of the U.S. Fed, which will be announced on 20 September 2023.

- Ingdan focuses on the new energy smart battery cloud business with emphasis on two-wheeler battery cloud services, in order to seize the RMB 100 billion ”blue ocean” market opportunity, which would enable the Group to sustain profitability.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 31 August 2023 – Ingdan, Inc. (“Ingdan, Inc.” or the “Company”, stock code: 400.HK; with its subsidiaries (the ”Group”)), formerly known as “Cogobuy Group”, a technology service company focusing on serving global chip industry and artificial intelligence (“AI”) and Internet of Things (“IoT”, together “AIoT”) ecosystem, with its core businesses “Comtech” and “Ingdan”, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (the “first half of 2023” or the “Period”).
Financial Highlights of the First Half of 2023
As of June 30, 2023, the Group recorded a total revenue of approximately RMB3,863.5 million, a YoY decrease of 17.8%; net profit was approximately RMB168.1 million, a YoY decrease of 20.7%; gross profit was approximately RMB482.4 million, a YoY increase of 13.7%. In the first half of 2023, the rapid development of AI technologies has driven the digitalization of various industries, resulting in an increase in demand for chips. Accordingly, the Group’s AI demands have increased. However, as affected by suppliers’ production capacity, there was a supply shortage of AI chips and the delivery of orders has been deferred to the second half of the year. Coupled with the slowdown in the growth of demand for chips in the consumer electronics category, the overall sales dropped. On the other hand, with profits increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 46.1% from 2019 to 2022, the Group’s results for the corresponding period of the prior year grew at a record high. Therefore, as the market demand returns to normal industry level from last year’s chips shortage, the Company’s profit has declined as compared with the same period last year. During the Period, the Group’s profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company was RMB92.5million. The Group’s cash and bank balances (including short-term bank deposits and pledged deposits) was RMB1,048.7 million. The Group’s bank loans were RMB1,818.8 million, book value of inventories was RMB5,055.2 million, and inventories net of rebates were RMB1,020.8 million. The basic common shares outstanding were 1,394,262,732, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of diluted earnings per share were 1,371,063,000.
Comtech Captured the Demand of AI Chips
In the first half of 2023, the popularity of Generative AI such as ChatGPT has once again driven the AI boom. The thriving AI market trend in China has driven the growth in demand for AI orders from Comtech. However, due to the impact of supply shortage, the inventory of AI chips was insufficient to fulfill the large number of orders, resulted in the delay of deliveries to the second half of the year and the sales volume was affected accordingly. According to forecasts by World Semiconductor Trade Statistics Association, global annual semiconductor sales will decline by 10.3% in 2023 but are expected to grow by 11.8% in 2024 by virtue of a strong recovery.[1] As a technology service platform for the chip industry, Comtech focuses on the application, design, and distribution of IC chips. It covers over 50% of global major high-end chip suppliers and many leading domestic chip makers upstream, as well as tens of thousands of enterprises in five major fields downstream, including smart vehicles, digital infrastructure, industrial interconnection, energy control and big consumption. With the gradual recovery of the domestic economy, the continuous development of the technology industry, and favorable national policies, the outlook for China’s semiconductor industry is optimistic, as it meets increasing demand for chips and brings more growth momentum to the chip business.
Comtech continued to actively push for the development of chips applications during the Period, and has achieved technological breakthroughs in cutting-edge technological features in the industries of AIGC, logistics robots and electronic rearview mirrors for smart vehicles, empowering a number of China’s innovative enterprises in, so as to prepare to capitalize on future market recovery.
- Comtech has laid out plans in the field of AIGC, vigorously expanded the chips application scenarios and opportunities, and successfully deployed NVIDIA products in a prominent Data Centre in Baoding city, with hosting capacity of 360,000 AI servers, to support the goal of building a demonstration city in the era of artificial intelligence.
- Comtech actively explored the application fields of mobile robot chips, supported the chip application and design resolution of innovative industries, successfully deployed STMicroelectronics products to warehousing robots, and provided technical training to help the logistics industry break through industry barriers.
- The smart vehicle market also saw the opening of new opportunities with the electronic rearview mirror industry. Comtech and AMD-XLINX jointly launched the “Smart Vehicle Vision Development Package” to realize various advantages such as self-adaption, low latency, scalability, and customization—to meet the future expansion needs of smart vehicles for cross-domain integration capabilities.
Shenzhen Comtech Continued its Preparation for an A-Share Listing Application
The application for A-Share listing on the ChiNext Board submitted by Comtech’s operating entity, Shenzhen Comtech Limited (“Shenzhen Comtech”) has been confirmed by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on 30 June 2022. Shenzhen Comtech is preparing for the proposed A-Share listing and has submitted its audited consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 during the first half of 2023. The proposed A-share listing, if completed, is expected to help further expand the Group’s development in the chip market in Mainland China, and the Company will remain the ultimate controlling shareholder of Shenzhen Comtech and its financial results will still be consolidated into the Company to facilitate the sustainable growth of the Group’s results.

According to EVTank’s forecast, the scale of the two-wheel electric vehicle battery replacement service market will exceed RMB 130 billion by 2025.[2]In line with China’s ”double carbon” national goal of reaching carbon peak in 2030 and realizing carbon neutrality in 2060, the upgrade of the energy industry structure is expected to bring about rapid changes in the industry layout. Ingdan strategically focuses on the two-wheeler battery cloud services, aiming at the new market trend of battery cloud in order to seize the RMB 100 billion ”blue ocean” market opportunity, which would enable the Group to sustain profitability while contributing to the advocacy of the product standardization of China’s two-wheeler battery replacement industry, and support the realization of the national ”double carbon” goal.
Outlook
Mr. Jeffrey Kang, CEO of Ingdan, Inc., said, “China’s AI industry has a strong momentum to empower digital transformation in different industries.

In the second half of the year, with the delivery of AI orders, our sales revenue is expected to grow, while Comtech’s earnings for the second half of the year are expected to improve and remain at the similar level as the corresponding period of the previous year.
Looking ahead, the development of AI has risen to the level of national strategy, and will move forward rapidly in China. The Group has actively optimized and improved its business around the AI industry, and is continuously expanding new development opportunities for Comtech and Ingdan, cultivating the chip business, and striving to create a ‘Chips-Devices-Cloud’ ecosystem, to meet the needs of the expanding AI industry. At the same time, the Group is also moving quickly to develop its new energy smart battery cloud business, focusing on the development potential of the two-wheeler battery cloud service field, and mastering the massive big data with the help of “Ingdan Cloud” to seize the RMB 100 billion “blue ocean” market and create a foundation for the Group’s sustainable profitability. In the near term, the Group will continue to make progress on A-Share listing, accelerating the expansion initiatives in the trillion-RMB chip market in China, and add new growth momentum to our core business—with the goal of supporting the Group’s sustainable development and creating long-term returns for shareholders.”

Asia Carbon Institute: A Voluntary Carbon Credit Registry in Asia Officially Established Setting the Stage for Sustainable Development with Enhanced Carbon Credit Standards
Asia’s rapid economic growth and significant greenhouse gas emissions necessitate the adoption of sustainable practices. Voluntary carbon credit standards and registries play a crucial role in incentivizing sustainability and attracting investments. However, the absence of a quality carbon credit standard in Asia hampers market growth and inhibits related ecosystems and businesses in the Region.
To address this pressing need and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy in Asia, ACI has been established as a voluntary carbon credit registry. ACI is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable climate action throughout Asia and beyond. As a leading voluntary carbon credit standards body and registry, ACI focuses on developing and implementing climate-positive initiatives and tailored solutions that address Asia’s unique environmental challenges and opportunities.
“The inauguration launch of the Voluntary Carbon Credit Registry in Asia by the Asia Carbon Institute reflects the increasing adoption of carbon credit trading by businesses as a strategic response to climate change,” said Mr. Chan Ho Lim, Joseph, JP, Under Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury, HKSARG. “Voluntary carbon credits are more than just a financial instrument. They have the power to channel private capital towards critical climate action projects, aiding investment in innovative, technology-driven solutions.”
Dr. Samuel Chui, Director of Environmental Protection, HKSARG, expressed his support, saying, “The establishment of ACI aligns perfectly with our goals of mitigating climate change and achieving carbon neutrality. We look forward to collaborations with ACI to promote sustainability and drive the adoption of carbon credit standards in the region.”
During the inaugural ceremony, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between ACI and BSI, a renowned global business standards company. The collaboration aims to enhance ACI’s capabilities in assurance and verification, innovation, the development of new standards, and marketing and communication initiatives.
John Lo, Founder of ACI, expressed his delight at the inauguration and the signing of the MOU, stating, “Today’s launch represents a significant milestone in our journey to promote sustainability and create a vibrant voluntary carbon credit market in Asia. The collaboration with BSI will further strengthen our ability to provide assurance, drive innovation, and establish new standards, ultimately leading to a more sustainable and resilient future.”
Prof. Christine Loh, SBS, JP, OBE – International Advisor of ACI saying, “ACI is a much-needed non-profit platform based in Asia with Hong Kong and Singapore bases. This is what is needed in our region in the era of developing markets to help with a faster pace of decarbonization. We need a platform that understands the conditions in Asia. Congratulations to ACI for doing carbon credit verification and providing a registry, which should be of great interest.”
The inaugural ceremony also featured a panel discussion led by Prof. Christine Loh, SBS, JP, OBE, International Advisor of ACI. Distinguished panelists, including industry leaders from CLP, Sino Group, China Resources Environmental Technology Ltd, and the Climate Commissioner of the Environment and Ecology Bureau of the HKSAR Government, shared their insights on the challenges they face, measures they are implementing, and their expectations of ACI as a platform for short and medium-term actions in addressing carbon-related issues in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Asia.
As the event Keynote Speaker, Ir Dr the Hon LO Wai Kwok, SBS, MH, JP, shared his insight that, “Hong Kong always plays critical, important and functional roles in both international arena and Asia region. While De-Carbonisation is a common goal for everyone, the establishment of ACI Hong Kong chapter today is offering us a unique option of an Asia platform with creditability, transparency and indeed opportunities.”
Similar comments and support were echoed by Ms. Linda Ho, CEO of Green Council during her delivery of the closing remarks. Linda stressed that, “ACI is a platform created and based in Asia engaging international, regional & local professionals to advocate de-carbonisation through high level of governance and collaboration. Both ACI Singapore and Hong Kong Chapters are prepared to serve and work with stakeholders with diversity and professionalism.”
