CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (“EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast further profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GE M, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the stock market operated by the Exchange prior to the establishment of GE M (excluding the options market) and which stock market continues to be operated by the Exchange in parallel with GEM and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
The principal means of information dissemination on G EM is publication on the internet website operated by the Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers.
The Exchange takes no responsibility for the contents of this report, makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this report.
This report, for which the directors of MegaInfo Holdings Limited (“Company”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the GEM of Exchange (“GEM Listing Rules”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to Company. The directors of the Company (“Directors”), having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief: (1) the information contained in this report is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading; (2) there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement in this report misleading; and (3) all opinions expressed in this report have been arrived at after due and careful consideration and are founded on bases and assumptions that are fair and reasonable.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Review of Research and Development Activities
In addition to the continued development and enhancement of our range of applications, namely MegaImage, MegaMax, MegaDMS, MegaERP and MegaECM , during September 2004, we have completed the preliminary acceptance test of the e-government project for the Serviços de Administração e Função Pública, the Public Administration and Civil Service Bureau of the Government of Macao. The e-government project, which is an initiative actively promoted by the Government of Macao to enhance operating efficiencies and improve quality of services to the general public, has translated into new business opportunities as other government departments now demand new applications to complement the e-government services. And in anticipation of the upcoming 2005 East Asian Games and to support the Government of Macao’s vision to position Macao as an entertainment, gaming and tourism city, as well as an international city for hosting meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (collectively referred as “MICE”), we have completed development of two new applications, namely an automatic traffic clearance system, which deploys our image counting application, to accommodate patrol of traffic, and a hospitality and logistics management system, which is a database and management system that handles mass volume of registrations, identification confirmations, accommodation, transportation, etc. Both applications best-fit organizers of M ICE to handle logistics management arrangements and the security/police force to manage flow of traffic.

Review of Sales and Promotional Activities
In view of strong economic grow th and robust business activities in Macao, our home territory, as anticipated, continued to be the main contributor for the Group. During the Three-Month Period, we have successfully secured a contract from the Polícia Judiciária, the Judicial Police of the Government of Macao, to install an IP-based PABX service system. The IP-based system will serve as a platform for the Polícia Judiciária to roll out other Mega branded applications, e.g. MegaMax . Polícia Judiciária is already deploying our document management system.
During the Three-Month Period, the Group was actively involved in a number of major conventions and seminars in Macao and Mainland China to promote the Group’s products. During July 2004, the Group participated the First Pan-Pearl River Delta Economic Corporation Conference in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, to promote the Group’s products and services to potential resellers and targeted customers in the Mainland China. We continued to focus our marketing efforts on the customer groups with higher purchasing power, namely telecommunications service providers, government authorities and major enterprises. In Macao, the Group has also participated in the Mega Tech Forum, held in September and jointly hosted by Mega DataTech Limited, a fellow subsidiary, to promote the products and services to potential customers in Macao. Similar to Mainland China, the Group initial targets are government authorities, gaming operators, hotels and major enterprises.
Review of Operating Results for the Three-Month Period
During the Three-Month Period, the Group reported consolidated turnover of approximately HK$4.9 million, representing an increase of 145% over the corresponding period for the three months ended 30th September 2003 of approximately HK$2 million. The increment in the Group’s consolidated turnover reflected the success of the Group in capitalizing on the business opportunities from the Government of Macao.
The Group recorded consolidated net loss of approximately HK$1.5 million for the ThreeMonth Period as compared to consolidated net loss of approximately HK$0.5 million for the same period ended 30th September, 2003. The increment was mainly attributable to amortization charges of the software license fee and software development cost under the Mega branded solutions. As the Group is still at it development stage, therefore, management believes that the operating position of the Group will improve as the Mega branded solutions evolved to become marketable applications. The Group is also making effort to expand its product offerings with enhanced version of existing applications and newly developed solutions to capitalize robust opportunities in Macao and Mainland China.
