ANNUAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2009
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached other than companies listed on the Exchange. 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.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.
This announcement, for which the directors of Sing Lee Software (Group) 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 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 announcement 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 announcement misleading; and (3) all opinions expressed in this announcement have been arrived at after due and careful consideration and are founded on bases and assumptions that are fair and reasonable.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Material uncertainties relating to the going concern basis
At 31 December 2009, the Group had consolidated net current liabilities of approximately RMB3,194,000. At 31 December 2009, the Company had net current liabilities of approximately RMB6,063,000 and net liabilities of approximately RMB6,050,000.
The directors are of the opinion that the Company and the Group are able to continue as a going concern and to meet their obligations in full as and when they fall due. In view of the liquidity problems faced by the Company and the Group, the directors have adopted the following measures with a view to improve the Company’s and the Group’s overall financial and cash flow position and to maintain the Company’s and the Group’s existence on a going concern basis:
- (i) Attainment of profitable and positive cash flow operations
The directors continue to implement cost control measures over overheads and various general and administrative expenses, and are actively seeking new investment and business opportunities with an aim to attain profitable and positive cash flow operations.
- (ii) Ongoing financial support by the controlling shareholder of the Company
Mr. Hung Yung Lai, a director and controlling shareholder of the Company, has undertaken to the Company to provide continuous financial support to the Company and the Group so as to enable the Company and the Group to continue its day-to-day operations as a viable going concern notwithstanding any present or future financial difficulties experienced by the Company and the Group.
- 8 -
(iii) Additional external funding
The directors are considering various alternatives to strengthen the capital base of the Company and the Group through various fund raising exercises.
In the opinion of the directors, in light of the measures taken to date, together with expected results of other measures in progress, the Company and the Group will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its future working capital and other financial requirements, and it is reasonable to expect the Company and the Group to return to a commercially viable going concern. Accordingly, the directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, notwithstanding the Company’s and the Group’s financial and liquidity position as at 31 December 2009.
Should the Company and the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to restate the value of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify non-current assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities, respectively. The effects of these potential adjustments have not been reflected in the financial statements.
b) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). These financial statements also comply with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the applicable disclosure provisions of the GEM.
4. SEGMENT REPORTING
Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s business and geographical segments. Business segment information is chosen as the primary reporting format because this is more relevant to the Group in making operating and financial decisions.
a) Business segment
Throughout the year, the Group has been operating in a single business segment, i.e. the development, manufacture and sale of software products, sale of related hardware products and provision of software-related technical services. Accordingly, no business segment information is presented.
b) Geographical segment
As the Group’s revenue and results were substantially derived from the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and its operating assets and liabilities are also based in the PRC, no geographical segment information is presented.

PRC accounting rules and regulations required the subsidiaries registered in the PRC to provide for staff and worker’s bonus and welfare fund, which are appropriated from net profit after tax, after offsetting prior years’ losses, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, but before distribution of a dividend to shareholders.

BUSINESS REvIEW AND ANALYSIS
During the year, the Group has focused all of its efforts on strengthening the cooperation with the two major strategic customers, reinforcing the all-rounded promotion of the first- and second-generation Runpos products and investing in the market research and product design for the third-generation products. With the best endeavours of all employees, the first- and second-generation Runpos products are now available for sales in 15 provinces and cities nationwide as compared with 7 last year with the amount of sales increased by 127%. As the coordination between the project teams of the two parties involved in the development of the third-generation products was basically completed, the technological research and development, the design of platform and the pilot operation at the provincial level have already commenced. The Group believes that the low-cost but highly-efficient products offered under the Runpos series will be welcomed by all customers in the next few years, and will secure a long-term and stable growth of the Group's operation and services income in the financial payment sector.
Banking Business
Under the influence of the financial tsunami, the whole banking sector has tightened up its control on the liquidity risks through and through, resulting in increasing demand for the Group’s products for liquidity risk management.

The emergence of special joint-equity banks, the personalization of commercial bank services in cities and the diversification of innovative functions encouraged the in-house research and development of products, and helped the Group maintain the leading strategic position of its core banking business in the market in which it had the largest market share in the past few years. New business and products emerged in the payment industry achieved the expected result. In particular, our cooperation with the two major customers continues to develop in all aspects. Bankcollege Express from the original education business has been incorporated into the third-generation Runpos products so as to enhance its competitiveness.
Future Outlook
As proved by our practical experience, the market prospects of our two principal businesses, capital and payment, are bright and promising. The key is to continuously strengthen our close cooperation with the two major strategic customers and various banks and step up our efforts in the promotion and application of our products in various industries. The Group will continue its strategy of “conducting the market research three years in advance, carrying out technological research and development two years in advance and entering the market six months in advance” with a view to maintaining a longterm, stable and effective development of the Group.
