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 the 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 Business Review – Macao

As previously anticipated, Macao continued to provide promising business opportunities for the Group during the Three-Month Period. Focusing on the development of innovative and value-added products and services and capitalizing on our roots in Macao, we have continued to build our reputation and position ourselves as the preferred provider of enterprise solutions for the Government of Macao and enterprises in the territory.

Marketing and promotional activities of the Group’s products and services undertaken over the past 12 months, in particular with a primary target to penetrate the Government of Macao, yielded us rewards. During the Three-Month Period, we have been awarded a contract from the Alfândega de Macau (Macao Customs Service) and the Direcção dos Serviços das Forças de Segurança de Macau (Public Security Force) under the Government of Macao to supply and install an Automatic Vehicle Clearance System and an Automatic Passenger Clearance System respectively, aggregate of these contracts amounted to approximately HK$11 million. Both systems, which are highly efficient, reliable and automated systems that operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, will span and provide effective patrol at borders and major ports in Macao. These systems are designed to strategically assist the enhancement of efficiency of both inbound and outbound custom clearance of vehicles and passengers at the various borders and ports in Macao, especially during peak hours where there is a high flow of vehicles and passengers. These systems will also allow the capture of data related to the flow of vehicles and passengers, offering vital statistics to the Government of Macao in overall systematic management and future town planning.

During the Three-Month Period, we have also successfully secured different contracts from various bureaus under the Government of Macao and quasi-governmental organizations, including contracts for the installation of an IP-based PABX system and surveillance system from the organizers of the Macau East Asian Games, contracts from the Direcção dos Serviços para os Assuntos Laborais (Labour Affairs Bureau) to supply and install our MegaImage solution at their premise, contract from Instituto para os Assuntos Cívicos e Municipais (Civic & Municipal Affairs Bureau) (“IACM”) for the upgraded and enhanced version of our MegaImage solution, and a contract from the Polícia Judiciária (Judiciary Police) for the maintenance of the hardware associated with the MegaImage application. Total value of these contracts amounted to approximately HK$3 million.

The Government of Macao is and will be the major targeted customer of the Group. While we will continue to explore opportunities with various bureaus under the Government of Macao, we will also continue to actively seek for business prospects from quasi-governmental organizations, e.g. the Macau 2005 4th East Asians Games Organising Committee who will be hosting the upcoming 2005 Macau East Asian Games in October 2005.

Our experience and successes with the installation and completion of various projects for the Government of Macao have been critical in building up the Group’s reputation in the market as every successful project represents strong reference site that proves the capabilities of the Group in handling large-scale IT solution projects. During the ThreeMonth Period, we are proud that we have completed the installation and the deployment of the one-stop e-government public service solution for IACM and have entered into the final testing stage. The one-stop e-government project will nevertheless, become one of the most important landmark projects for the Group. We believe that our proven track record and experience in the success delivery of major projects for the Government of Macao will strengthen the foundation of the Group and position MegaInfo as one of the preferred providers of enterprise solutions in the market.

Besides targeting projects from the Government of Macao, we have also been actively pursuing business opportunities in different industries in Macao. To promote the series of Mega branded products and services, in October 2004, the Group par ticipated in the Macau IT Week. This exhibition, which is one of the major annual exhibitions held in Macao attracting enterprises from both Macao and mainland China, provided us with the opportunity to introduce the Group’s spectrum of products and services to potential customers. To allow us to gain access to a broader range of customers, partnering with strong market players has also been our core strategy. During the Three-Month Period, we have concluded a joint venture – CTM-Mega Technolog y Limited – with Companhia de

Telecomunicações de Macau S.A.R.L. (“CTM”), the largest telecommunications operator in Macao. We believe that joining forces with CTM will assist the Group to strengthen the marketing and distribution of Mega branded products and allow us approach an expanded customer base.

Business Review – Mainland China

During the period under review, we have continued to actively expand our geographical coverage and customer base. In addition to establishing an office in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, to serve as the marketing centre overseeing sales and marketing activities in southern China and providing sales support to our local distributors and resellers, we have also tapped the mainland China market by forming business collaborations with reputable local partners. In December 2004, we entered into an Industry Distributor Agreement with Red Flag Linux in mainland China, which will allow us to gain access and cross-sell our products and services to the established networks of Red Flag Linux in mainland China. In the same month, we have also entered into a reseller agreement with Beijing-based Talent First Technology Limited for the distribution of MegaECM .

To capture more business oppor tunities in the mainland China market, we have put in place an aggressive sales & marketing strategy. In October 2004, we participated in a large technical exposition, the China Hi-Tech Fair in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province and received positive responses. We will continue to participate in similar events, utilizing them as promotional tools to market and promote the Mega branded products and services to the mainland China market, develop potential channel resellers and attract new customers.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND OPERATI NG PERFORMANCE REVIEW Turnover and Profitability

During the Six-Month Period, the Group reported consolidated turnover of approximately HK$7.8 million, representing an increase of 64% over the corresponding period for the six months ended 31 December 2003 of approximately HK$4.7 million. Improved consolidated turnover for the Group was attributed primarily to projects secured from the Government of Macao, including those from IACM and the Polícia Judiciária. Nevertheless, with increased number of headcounts to support both the research development and marketing activities of the Group and for the delivery of projects secured from the Government of Macao, coupled with amortization of the perpetual license, consolidated net loss of the Group widened to approximately HK$5 million for the Six-Month Period.
