Interim Report 2007

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 Main Board 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-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers.

The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited 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 (the “Directors”) of MegaInfo Holdings Limited (the “Company”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “GEM Listing Rules”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The 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

During the Three-Month Period, the Group completed the implementation and installation work for the various projects in Macao disclosed in the First Quarterly Report of the Group for the three months ended 30 September 2006, including the installation of a structured cabling solution for one of the gaming operators in Macao, the implementation of an e-government application to enhance the automatic queuing system of the one-stop e-government system, as well as the installation and implementation of the surveillance system for the Judiciary Police of Macao.

In the PRC, the software development teams in Zhuhai and Guangzhou continued to assist in the provision of maintenance and support services for the e-government project in Macao.

Capital resources and liquidity

Net cash and bank balances as at 31 December 2006 were approximately HK$47.7 million. The total assets of the Group as at 31 December 2006 were approximately HK$74.3 million. There was no charge on the Group’s assets as at 31 December 2006.

During the Six-Month Period, the Group maintained a debt-free capital structure. The Group financed its operations primarily with internally generated cashflows and the proceeds from placing of Shares and exercising of share options granted under the share option scheme adopted by the Company on 18 November 2004.

Foreign exchange exposure

As at 31 December 2006, the Group held cash and bank deposits denominated in Hong Kong Dollars, Renminbi, and Macao Patacas. Since all of its revenue-generating operations, monetary assets and liabilities of the Group are conducted or transacted substantially in Hong Kong Dollars and Renminbi, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies, and Macao Patacas, which is considered as a stable currency under the control of the Government of Macao, the Group faced minimal exchange rate risk during the period.

MegaInfo Holdings Limited • Interim Report 2007

Business outlook

As an enterprise driven by innovative technologies, the success of our Group lies with our ability to continuously introduce new products and expand our value-added services to our customers. To this end, the Group has taken initiatives to expand its business into the following new product lines (and related services) while, at the same time, strengthening its business in the PRC:

1. Fixed odds betting products for proposed adoption in the PRC sports lottery market

On 23 January 2007, the Company announced that Ladbroke Group, Maxprofit Investment Holdings Limited (“MIH”, being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), Asia Gaming Technologies Limited (the “JV Company”), Ladbrokes plc and the Company had entered into a joint venture shareholders’ agreement dated 19 January 2007 (the “JV Agreement”) to establish the JV Company. The JV Company will be principally engaged in (i) the management and development of specific fixed odds betting products (which are games for proposed adoption in the PRC sports lottery market)(the “Products”), (ii) the sale and distribution of the Products to customer(s) which is(are) licensed or authorised by the relevant regulatory authority(ies) in the PRC to operate a business which sells and distributes the Products to consumers in the PRC, (iii) the provision of maintenance, after-sales, training and consultancy services relating to the Products, and (iv) the management, development, sale and distribution of such other additional Products and the provision of such other additional services as the parties to the JV Agreement may agree from time to time in writing. Upon completion of the JV Agreement, the JV Company will be owned as to 51% by MIH and as to 49% by Ladbroke Group. The total capital contribution from MIH and Ladbroke Group will be HK$5,100,000 and HK$4,900,000 respectively. (Note: As of the date hereof, fixed odds betting products are a new kind of betting products not yet approved or accessible to the general public in the PRC, and no entity is licensed or authorised to sell fixed odds betting products in the PRC at this moment. The JV Company is a venture between MIH and Ladbroke Group set up to explore the opportunity to introduce certain fixed odds betting products of Ladbroke Group and its group companies to the sports lottery market of the PRC.)

MegaInfo Holdings Limited • Interim Report 2007

On 29 January 2007, the Company announced that Beijing Systek (being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) had entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with 上海卡友信息服務有限公 司 (Shanghai Cardinfo Co., Ltd.) (“Shanghai Cardinfo”) in relation to a possible subscription (the “Subscription”) by Beijing Systek for the new shares of Shanghai Cardinfo (which shall represent approximately 20.69% equity interest in Shanghai Cardinfo upon completion of the formal subscription agreement). A formal subscription agreement has yet to be entered into by, among other parties, Beijing Systek and Shanghai Cardinfo as the detailed terms have not been finalised at this stage. If a formal subscription agreement is entered into by Beijing Systek or any member of the Group, it may constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company under the GEM Listing Rules. Further announcement will be made by the Company either as and when the formal subscription agreement is entered into, or as and when the MOU is lapsed.

As at the date hereof, Shanghai Cardinfo is a subsidiary of 中國銀聯股份有限 公司 (“China UnionPay”) and is principally engaged in (i) the provision of electronic payment services through its fixed-line telephone-based payment system, “信付通 ” , and (ii) the publication of magazines for targeted readers including China UnionPay, banks, credit card and other bank customers in the PRC. China UnionPay was jointly established by a consortium of financial institutions in the PRC with the approval of the People’s Bank of China, and operates an unified nationwide inter-bank bankcard information exchange network in the PRC. China UnionPay is also engaged in the provision of advanced electronic payment technologies and specialised services relating to the interbank bankcard information exchange network, the development of innovative bankcard technologies, and the management and operation of the China UnionPay brand. The Directors consider that, if the Subscription materialises, it will provide the Group with a springboard to enter the vast payment market in the PRC on the back of the strong business network and support of Shanghai Cardinfo and the China UnionPay group entities.

Financial performance review

During the Three-Month Period, the turnover of the Group amounted to approximately HK$7.3 million, representing an increase of approximately 24.3% over the ThreeMonth Period ended 30 September 2006 and a decrease of approximately 80.0% over the corresponding period in 2005. Turnover of the Group for the Six-Month Period amounted to approximately HK$13.1 million, representing a decrease of approximately 68.4% over the corresponding period in 2005. The decreases in the turnover of the Group during the Three-Month Period and the Six-Month Period were mainly attributable to the fact that a high level of turnover of approximately HK$19.7 million was brought about by the East Asian Games project for the sixmonth period ended 31 December 2005 while no projects of that scale were undertaken by the Group during the Six-Month Period, coupled with the fact that there were increases in legal and professional fees as well as staff costs as a result of the above-mentioned corporate exercises and business expansion of the Group, and recruitment of additional personnel to strengthen the management team following the change in control of the Company in June 2006. Notwithstanding the aforesaid decrease in turnover, the Group managed to secure projects with higher margins during the Third-Month Period and the gross profit percentage for the Three-Month Period stood at approximately 26.0%, an improvement over the gross profit percentage of the corresponding period in 2005 of approximately 16.8%.

During the three-month period, the net loss of the Group amounted to approximately HK$3.5 million, whereas a net profit of approximately HK$2.3 million was recorded by the Group for the corresponding period during 2005. Net loss of the Group for the Six-Month Period amounted to approximately HK$11.2 million, whereas a net profit of HK$9,676 was recorded by the Group for the corresponding period during 2005. The loss-making position of the Group during the Three-Month Period and the Six-Month Period as compared to the profit-making position of the Group during the corresponding periods in 2005 was primarily attributable to (i) the increase in administrative expenses (totalling approximately HK$6.5 million for the Six-Month Period) as a result of the adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard (“HKFRS”) 2 “Share-based Payment” for share options of the Company granted to Directors and employees of the Group during the Six-Month Period, (ii) the aforesaid lack of large projects undertaken by the Group during the Three-Month Period and the Six-Month Period, and (iii) the aforesaid increases in legal and professional fees as well as staff costs of the Group during the Three-Month Period and the Six-Month Period.
