Significant conclusions from the review were:

  • RFN is of the view that WooBoard has increased relevance to businesses of all size, whether small, medium or large, on the back of global spike in employees working remotely amid COVID-19.
  • For the same reason, RFN also anticipates growth in demand for its enhanced WooBoard product offering.
  • Work-from-home, as well as remote working arrangements, are anticipated to be utilised to a far more extent as compared to the pre-coronavirus scenario.
  • RFN is positioning the business to exploit this opportunity for shareholders as well as to draw benefits from WooBoard’s increasing relevance and demand in the post-coronavirus scenario.

Moreover, the Company started to implement recommendations of the strategic review, especially focusing on tailoring WooBoard to take advantage of employees and large teams working from home across multiple countries and time-zones, especially in ongoing times of COVID-19.

Licence Agreement with InterBIO

Most recently, in May 2020, the Company entered into a licence agreement with International Biometrics Pte Ltd (InterBIO), a leading identity management and biometric software solutions company, whose products are leveraged into potentially high-growth markets including security and working remotely.

Under the agreement, the parties agreed upon a partnership that involves product integrations and a 50/50 revenue sharing arrangement in relation to WooBoard sales made by InterBIO . Moreover, a 50% revenue share would be granted to REFFIND for every sale the Company makes of InterBIO’s suite of products.

REFFIND believes the ability of stockpiling cash, diversifying the balance sheet and capturing the currently presented unique opportunities to be a prudent business strategy.

Moreover, seamless integration of InterBIO’s capabilities into WooBoard would significantly expand and enhance the current offering, thereby ideally placing RFN to take advantage of commercial opportunities across government and private organisations in Australia and New Zealand.
