THIRD QUARTERLY RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2010
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock 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 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 the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this announcement misleading.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Financial review and results of operations
For the nine months ended 30 September 2010 (the “Review Period”), the Group recorded turnover of approximately RMB9,032,000, adjusted by 72% when compared to the same period of last year (2009: approximately RMB31,765,000).
Due to the decline in overall turnover and increased distribution costs and administrative expenses by 67 % as compared with the same period of last year, the Group recorded a loss attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB12,064,000 during the Review Period (2009: profit attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB1,560,000).

BUSINESS REVIEW
Finance and Banking Business
The Group entered into a four-year and a five-year strategic cooperation agreements with the Yunnan Branch of China UnionPay Co., Ltd and the China UnionPay Co., Ltd. (“China UnionPay”) on 19 August and 25 October 2010 respectively. Meanwhile the Yunnan Project is officially launched on 20 August. Leveraging the leading position of China UnionPay, the bank card association in the PRC, which is engaged in developing and operating the China UnionPay interbank transaction settlement system, as well as setting up global acceptance network for UnionPay cards, the Group believes the China UnionPay is well-positioned to be the leader of the “mobile payment” industry and founder of the united system in the coming years. The long-term strategic cooperation between the Group and China UnionPay in the extensive market of “mobile payment” and “mobile e-commerce” represents the important milestone of the Group in long run.

FUTURE PROSPECT
Starting from this year, the third generation of RUNPOS has become the core project of the “mobile payment” business with China UnionPay. To ensure the smooth implementation of the project, there was significant increase in human resources; research and development; and marketing efforts towards this project, which resulted sustain loss in the quarter. The Group, however, considers such intensive inputs necessary due to the strategic significance of the project to the Group’s long-term development and the formation of its core competitiveness. As the results, the Group successfully completed two financing activities. The positive response from the financing activities fully reflected the market recognition towards the Group’s “mobile payment” project.
The Group is committed to developing the innovative RUNPOS products, particularly in the third generation “mobile payment” project, and enhancing closer cooperation with China UnionPay and other major clients in more effective and practical way. It will also put additional efforts in enhancing the risk control on and management of safety, technology, research and development, marketing and sales, with a particular focus on implementing a stringent supervision and control of risks on various capital injections to ensure the success of the transition of the Group’s strategy. Leveraging on the increasing sales of the first and second generation of RUNPOS products, the Group is planning to collaborate these products with the third generation “mobile payment” and “mobile e-commerce” businesses, so as to facilitate the continuous growth of the Group’s core competitiveness.

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 30 September 2010 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.
13
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.

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.
