QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2006

• For identification purposes only

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “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 future 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 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 however arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this report.

This report, for which the directors of Sing Lee Software (Group) Limited 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 Sing Lee Software (Group) Limited. 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.

The board of directors (“Board”) of Sing Lee Software (Group) Limited (the “Company”) announce the unaudited results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) for the three months ended 31 March 2006, together with the unaudited comparative figures for the corresponding periods in 2005, as follows:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial performance of the Group has some improvement for the first quarter. For the three months ended 31 March 2006, the Group recorded a total turnover of approximately Rmb4,731,000, representing an increase of 171% as compared to the same period of last year (for the three months ended 31 March 2005: Turnover amounted to approximately Rmb1,744,000).

Although the Group still recorded a loss of approximately Rmb2,021,000 for the first quarter, the loss has reduced significantly as compared to the same period of last year (for the three months ended 31 March 2005: loss attributable to shareholders amounted to approximately Rmb13,961,000). This loss decrease can be attributable to increase in turnover and the successful cost control over the past months.

We will continue trying our best to increase sales and strengthen our cost control. Due to business seasonal fluctuation and the fact that peak season of software purchase normally takes palace in the second half of the year, it is expected that the results for the coming months will be further improved.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Banking Operations

Apart from the contracted “asset and liability management system” and “fund trade system” projects which are in the process of implementation, in the first quarter, the Group has conducted initial discussions with various banks with a view to further expanding its market share.

The purchasing of POS machines and POS-MIS systems by banks did not begin until the second quarter, which had an impact on the sales of the Group in the first quarter.

The promotion of the EagleEye information platform guarantee system in the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank has allowed the system to be extended from local applications to nationwide banking system applications of the head office.

Education Operations

The Company won the bid for the Zhejiang University Student Information Centre. This provided a breakthrough point and entry point for the Company to fully participate in the university’s digital campus project and become a core enterprise under Category One in the education software domain.

The integrated and general versions of the Singlee Bank-College Express Charging Administration System and other Bank-College Express products have been successfully developed and are extensively marketed to more universities, institutions of higher learning and large-scale key secondary schools and colleges for professional training nationwide.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The purchasing of POS machines and POS-MIS systems by banks will soon start. The Group has actively participated in all biddings. The sales of POS machines will increase in the second quarter.

Initial cooperation intent has been reached with world-renowned mainstream product suppliers in respect of EagleEye monitoring products. On the basis of integrating their advantageous products, the parties will cooperate with each other in the aspects of sales, research and development and services in the monitoring guarantee domain.

The marketing focus for the second quarter will be on promoting Bank-College Express with a high degree of productization. The Company intends to further strengthen cooperation with banks to market the products to more college customers.

During the first quarter of 2006, the sales of the Group Company increased as compared with the same period last year, making a breakthrough in operation. The Group Company wishes to capture this opportunity and strives to penetrate the market extensively. While stepping up its sales and marketing efforts, it will also strengthen the efforts in implementing the cost saving plan.

SHARE OPTION SCHEME

Pursuant to the share option scheme (the “Scheme”) adopted on 27 August 2001, the Directors may at their discretion grant options to employees (including Directors of the Company) of the Group and other persons who, in the sole discretion of the board of the Directors, have contributed to the Group (“Participants”). The Scheme enables the Company to grant share options to Participants as incentives or rewards for their contribution to the Group. The Scheme would be valid and effective for a period of ten years commencing on the adoption date.

The maximum number of shares in respect of which options may be granted under the Scheme shall not exceed 30% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time. After the listing of the shares on GEM, the total number of shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all options to be granted under the Scheme and any other schemes must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the shares in issue upon completion of placing, capitalisation issue and say other shares to be issued upon the exercise of the over-allotment option in connection with the listing of the shares on GEM. According to the Scheme, the total number of shares available for issue as at 31 March 2006 is 60,300,000 shares.

The total number of shares issued and to be issued upon the exercise of options granted and to be granted to each Participant (including both exercised and outstanding options) in any 12 months period up to the date of grant must not exceed 1% of the shares in issue at the date of grant.

The subscription shall be a price determined by the board of directors at its absolute discretion and shall not be less than the higher of the closing price of the share on the date of grant of the option and the average closing price of the shares for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant of the option.

Options granted shall be deemed to be accepted upon receipt of the acceptance of offer letter from the grantee within 28 days from the offer date, together with a remittance in favour of the Company of HK$1 by way of consideration for the grant.

8

An option may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Scheme at any time during a period notified by the board to each grantee but may not be exercised after the expiry of 10 years from the date of grant.

On 8 April 2002 the Company granted 60,230,000 options to subscribe for shares in the Company under the Scheme at an exercise price of HK$0.614 per share to 163 employees (including three executive directors) of the Group. Shares of the Company were at closing price HK$0.58 immediately before the day on which options were granted.

On 1 June 2004 the Company granted 10,000,000 options to subscribe for shares in the Company under the scheme at an exercise price of HK$0.14 per share to 2 chief executives of the Group. Shares of the Company were at closing price HK$0.14 immediately before the day on which options were granted.

The summary details of options granted are as follows:

		Number of	Number of	Number of	Number of	Number of	Number of	Number of	Number of
		share options	share options	share options		share options	share	options	share options
Name of directors		outstanding as	granted during	exercised during		cancelled during	lapsed during		outstanding as

Cui Jian	7 September 2002	3,180,000	—		—	—		—	3,180,000
	to 7 April 2012
Continuous contract	7 September 2002	7,650,000	—		—	(750,000 )		—	6,900,000
employees	to 7 April 2012
(other than
directors)
		10,830,000	—		—	(750,000 )		—	10,080,000

The directors consider it inappropriate to value the options as a number of factors critical for the valuation cannot be determined accurately. Any valuation of the options based on various speculative assumptions would be meaningless and misleading. Therefore the directors believe that the cost for disclosing the value of options do not justify for the benefits it provides.

Save as disclosed above, as at 31 March 2006, none of the directors, chief executives, or their respective associates had any interest or short position in the shares of the Company or its associated corporations (within the meaning of Part XV of the SFO) which would have to be notified to the Company and the Stock Exchange pursuant to Divisions 7 and 8 of Part XV of the SFO (including interests or short positions which they were taken or deemed to have under such provision of the SFO) or which were required to be kept under Section 352 of the SFO or as otherwise notified to the Company and the Stock Exchange pursuant to the minimum standards of dealing by directors of listed issuers as referred to in Rules 5.46 to 5.66 of the GEM Listing Rules.
