                          ("Walcom" or "the Company")

               Final results for the year ended 31 December 2014

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

On behalf of the board of directors (the "Board"), I am pleased to present the
final results for the year ended 31 December 2014.

Results

Although the global economy began to show signs of improvement during 2014,
under the present Chinese leadership, the slow growth in the PRC market
continues to impact the Company's results. The Company's sales were affected by
the poor performance of the pig farming industry during the period, and the
adverse impact of increasing production costs and operating expenses resulted
in a loss attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company of HK$0.3
million (2013: Loss HK$0.1 million) for the year under review. Turnover and
gross profit levels for the year decreased by 10 per cent. (2014: HK$43.6
million; 2013: HK$48.6 million) and 12 per cent. (2014: HK$27.2 million; 2013:
HK$30.8 million) respectively compared to the previous year. The Company
reported a minimal net loss of HK$0.03 million for the year under review as
compared to a net profit of HK$0.9 million in 2013. However EBITDA decreased by
63 per cent. to HK$1.5 million in 2014 from HK$3.9 million in 2013.

A summary of the results for the period is set out below:

Operation and market review

Under the new normal economic environment in China, the pig farming industry
and the animal feed market weakened during the period under review. Most of the
Company's customers had weaker performance in 2014 than 2013. This led to
disappointing year-on-year sales in China. The PRC sales dropped by 18 per
cent. in terms of sales value during the year when compared to 2013.

Sales in Thailand decreased by 12 per cent. to HK$13.7 million in 2014,
representing 31 per cent. (2013: 32 per cent.) of the Company's total sales.
Despite the change in government in May 2014, the economy in Thailand had not
recovered by the end of the year. This resulted in an overall drop in demand
which led to our poorer performance in the Thai market.

Although there was a decrease in demand in Thailand during 2014, the Company
has been trying to expand the sales to individual customers which showed
reasonable potential of growth. Owing to the credible brand recognition of the
Company's products in Thailand, the Directors expect better performance in
sales in the country in 2015.

Sales in Korea increased more than 7 times to HK$2.5 million in 2014,
representing approximately 6 per cent. (2013: 0.6 per cent.) of the Company's
total sales. The Directors remain confident that Korea is an emerging market
which has a high potential for growth for the Company in the future.

Although the significance of the Thai and Korean markets has increased, China
continues to act as the major market for the Company's products and this is
expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

Recent Developments

During the past few years, the Company has established itself as a provider of
trusted products within its specialized category in the industry. The Company
has built up its brand among its customers and potential customers. Better
channels of communication with existing customers; and direct and personal
relationship with potential customers have been developed and it is expected
that the sales of the Company's products will improve in line with the recovery
of the industry and economy in China in the future.

The Company is researching to develop a new line of composite feed products by
utilizing its in house core technology. If this becomes successful, the
Company's sales will no longer depend on a single line of products.

Patents

At the end of 2014 the Group held 46 granted patents in respect of:

  * its core Cysteamine technology in China, North Korea, New Zealand, Ukraine,
    Russia, South Africa, Australia, India, South Korea and Vietnam;

  * poultry feed in the UK, North Korea, Taiwan, Russia, China, Australia and
    Philippines;

  * dairy cow feed in New Zealand, the UK, Europe, Mexico, India, China,
    Russia, Australia and Malaysia;

  * fish feed in the UK, Indonesia, Russia, China, Thailand, Philippines,
    Vietnam and Taiwan; and

  * shellfish feed in Europe, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Philippines
    and China.

Most of the patents which the Company applied for in the past years have been
granted. The Directors believe that there is wide patent coverage in places
where there are significant demands for the Company's products. Some patents
which the Directors believe have a reduced chance of commercialisation were
dropped during the year.

Debt

As at the year end, the Group had a short term bank loan of HK$2.5 million,
which was used to finance the Group's general working capital. The Company
intends to renew this loan in the ordinary course of business, in line with the
Group's prudent cash management policy. As at the financial year end, the Group
had cash and cash equivalents of HK$15.2 million. Accordingly, no further bank
loans will be needed as the Group has adequate working capital for its daily
operations.

Dividend

The Directors do not recommend any dividend payment for the year ended 31
December 2014.

Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting will be held at the offices of the Company's
solicitors, Reeds Smith Richards Butler in Hong Kong at 2:30pm on Friday 12
June 2015.

Outlook

As the Chinese economy is entering into a new normal phase and is trying to
rebalance itself, it will be another difficult year for the Company in 2015. A
further slowing of growth in the Chinese economy may happen if the stimulus
measures implemented by the Central government prove to be insufficient. The
unstable recovery of the United States and the stagnant major European
economies collectively contribute towards an uncertain global economy.
Escalating production costs and operating expenses will continue to be an
adverse factor affecting the Company. However, the Directors are optimistic
that the improving performance in the Thai and Korean markets, coupled with the
Company's new research effort, will result in an increase in its portfolio of
customers which will result in an improved performance in 2015.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our gratitude to Mr Eddie K. M.
Chan, our ex non-executive chairman who served the Company as chairman since
the admission of the Company to trading on AIM in December 2006 until 31 March
2015. We would like to thank him for the major contributions and leadership
that he had provided during his term of chairmanship and wish him every success
in his other business interests.

Following Mr Eddie K. M. Chan's resignation, I have been appointed as chairman
of the audit committee and Mr Timothy Nelson has been appointed as chairman of
the remuneration committee.

I would also like to express our sincere thanks to the management team and
staff, professional advisers and shareholders for their continued support and
contributions during the year.

No provision for profits tax has been made for the Company as it is exempted
from taxation in the British Virgin Islands.

No deferred taxation has been provided as the Company has no material
unprovided deferred tax assets or liabilities which are expected to be
crystallised in the foreseeable future (2013: HK$Nil).

(b) Taxation for the Group

(i) Taxation on overseas profits has been calculated on the estimated
assessable profit for the year at the rate of taxation prevailing in the
countries in which the Group companies operate. The income tax expense stated
in consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
represented the corporate income tax and foreign enterprise income tax arisen
from the business of subsidiaries operating in Thailand and Shanghai
respectively.

Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at 16.5% (2013: 16.5%) of the estimated
assessable profit for the year. However, no provision for Hong Kong profits tax
has been made (2013: HK$Nil) as the Group's assessable profit subject to Hong
Kong profits tax for the year is fully set-off by tax loss brought forward from
last year.

Provision for foreign enterprise income tax ("FEIT") in the People's Republic
of China ("PRC") has been made at 15% (2013: 15%) as Shanghai Walcom Bio-Chem
Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai Walcom"), a wholly owned subsidiary operating in Shanghai,
has assessable profits for the year.

Pursuant to the relevant income tax rules and regulations in the PRC, Shanghai
Walcom is granted tax relief whereby the applicable income tax rate was 15% for
the years 2013 and 2014.

Thailand Corporate Income Tax is calculated at 20% (2013: 20%) of the net
profit for the year.

(ii) A reconciliation between the Group's income tax expense and the accounting
profit, at the applicable tax rate, is set out below :-

                                                               2014        2013

(iii) A deferred tax asset amounting to HK$8,570,768 (2013: HK$8,828,812) in
respect of tax losses of a subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong of
approximately HK$51,944,000 (2013: HK$53,508,000) has not been recognised in
the financial statements as it is not certain that future taxable profit will
be available against which these losses can be utilised.

7 Dividends

The Company does not recommend the payment of any dividend for the year ended
31 December 2014 (2013: HK$Nil).

8 Loss per share

There is no difference between basic and diluted loss per share. The basic and
diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2014 are calculated by
dividing the Group's loss attributable to owners of the Group of HK$300,602
(2013: HK$114,899) by the weighted average number of 68,834,388 ordinary shares
(2013: 68,834,388 ordinary shares). The computation of diluted loss per share
does not assume the exercise of the Company's outstanding share options because
the exercise price of the options is higher than the average market price for
the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013.

9 Trade and other receivables

including both specific and collective loss components, is as follows:

HK$743,813) have been outstanding for a certain period of time. The management
assessed that only a portion of the receivables is expected to be recoverable.
No further individual provision of impairment for doubtful debts was provided
in the year ended 31 December 2014 (2013: HK$508,758).

The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

 b. Trade receivables that are not impaired

Majority of the Group's turnover are with credit terms ranging from 30 to 60
days. Ageing analysis of trade receivables that are neither individually nor
collectively considered to be impaired are as follows:

                                                            2014           2013

                                                         989,520        103,210

                                                       6,570,561      4,758,687

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a wide range of
customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of
independent customers that have a good track record with the Group. Based on
past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary
in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in
credit quality and the balances are considered fully recoverable. The Group
does not hold any collateral over these balances.

currencies:
