CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (“STOCK 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 GEM, 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 Stock Exchange prior to the establishment of GEM (excluding the options market) and which stock market continues to be operated by the Stock 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 GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Stock 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-todate information on GEM-listed issuers.
The Stock 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 the Stock Exchange (“GEM Listing Rules”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the 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
Business Review – Macao
Since the last annual report released in September 2005, the Group has been striving to complete the scheduled projects and continuing to explore new businesses. Major projects completed during the Three-Month Period included the installation of a PABX system and a surveillance system for a shooting range, that hosted the shooting event of the East Asian Games, and for a football stadium of the Macao University of Science and Technology, and a PABX system for the Judiciary Police of Macao, turnover (approximately HK$4.6 million) of which has been reflected in the period under review. Other major projects such as gaming application for the East Asian Games, automatic vehicle clearance system and automatic passenger clearance system for the Government of Macao have also been successfully completed and delivered. Business revenue of these projects will be accounted for in the next quarterly results announcement.
The Group’s marketing activities in Macao remain active. The Group has recently secured an extra-low voltage contract involving approximately HK$3.1 million from a hotel at a new attraction in Macao. Discussions and negotiations with other hotels are currently in progress. The Group is optimistic that its marketing strategies and business steering towards the hospitality sector will generate favorable returns in the future.
The Group has built up its reputation in Macao in the government services domain. Leveraging its experience in the one-stop project, the Group has successfully obtained from the Government of Macao the contract for the second phase of the e-government project during the period under review. In the same period, the Group has also been commissioned by the Justice Bureau of Macao to provide the MegaImage solution, the first Megalmage project secured by the Group in Macao.
The Group believes that all these on-going projects contribute significantly to the building up and maintaining of the Group’s business relationship with its customers. While project implementation and system installation are the major source of revenue of the Group, management anticipates future income can also be generated from taking up expansion projects as the business volume and size of existing customers increased and providing maintenance services for completed projects. Striving to secure maintenance contracts will be a focus area for the Group as maintenance income represents stable and recurring income.

Business Review – PRC
During the Three-Month Period, the Group has successfully secured several service contracts from various bureaus of China Telecom and China Mobile in the Guangdong Province with total worth of RMB2.5 million (approximately HK$2.4 million) being awarded. This is a result of its continued marketing efforts over the past 6 months to promote MegaImage and the successful completion of various MegaImage projects for various bureaus of China Mobile in the Guangdang Province.
On 23rd September, 2005, the Group entered into an agreement with Red Flag Software Company Limited (“Beijing Redflag”) to jointly develop the Traditional Chinese version (for Hong Kong and Macao) of the Red Flag Linux operating system. This agreement has also allowed the Group to become a strategic partner of Beijing Redflag which is an important breakthrough in its business development in the PRC as it provides the Group with the opportunity to tap the relationship network of Beijing Redflag. Details of the cooperation between the two parties are currently under discussion.
Financial Position and Operating Performance Review
During the Three-Month Period, the Group had registered HK$5.2 million turnover, which included the completed projects in a shooting range centre, a football stadium, and the Judiciary Police of Macao. Compared with the same period in the previous financial year, the growth in turnover was slightly increased by 5.3%. The gross profit percentage for the Three-Month Period was 17.2%, which is slightly lower than the same period in previous financial year. But indeed, the 17.2% gross profit percentage during the Three-Month Period was improved when compared with 2005 financial year average gross profit percentage of 15.1%.
The net loss of the Group during the Three-Month Period was HK$2.3 million. The net loss was mainly due to the several major projects were at the final stage, thus the results have not been reflected in the results of the Three-Month Period. As mentioned in the 2005 annual report, the Group had secured approximately HK$46 million business for 2006 financial year. The Group is confident that the results of the coming quarters would improve.
