SINOSOFT TECHNOLOGY PLC (THE "COMPANY")
INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2009
Sinosoft, the China based developer and provider of e-Government software and
services, announces its consolidated interim results for the Group (being the
Company and its subsidiaries, also referred to as Sinosoft) for the six months
ended 30 June 2009.
Financial Highlights
* Turnover down 14.5% to approximately US$4.5M (2008: US$5.3M)
* Gross profit down 11.8% to approximately US$3.6M (2008: US$4.1M)
* Research & Development ("R&D") expenditure up 12.3% to approximately US$0.9M
(2008: US$0.8M)
* Operating profit decreased to approximately US$0.3M (2008: US$1.27M)
Operating Highlights
* Sale of add-on services continues to contribute strongly to tax software revenue
growth
* Revenue from e-Government showing signs of improvement as a result of the
government's stimulus package
Commenting on the results, Mao Ning, Chairman of Sinosoft said: "The current
global recession led to a poorer first half performance compared with the same
period last year. However, the growing diversification of our revenue streams
and the investment in research and development has enabled Sinosoft to benefit
from the initial signs of an economic recovery and the PRC Government's stimulus
package. Contracts in the pipeline give the board confidence that as the global
economy stabilizes, Sinosoft is well positioned to grow its revenues in the
second half of 2009."

Chief Executive Officer's Statement
Due to the challenging operating environment from the slowing global economy
that started last quarter of FY2008, our turnover for the six months to 30 June
2009 was lower than the same period last year. Despite the overall fall in
revenue, sales achieved by our Tax Software division were up by 8.9% on the same
period of last year. e-Government and System Integration witnessed marginal
decrease (3.8% and 16.4% respectively) while Information Integration suffered
the biggest drop in sales (46.3%), pulling down overall Group sales.
Despite tighter control on operating costs, total operating expenses increased
marginally from last year as a result of the necessary continued investment in
marketing and R&D. As a result, profit from operations experienced a 77.6%
decrease to approximately US$0.3M (2008: US$1.27M). Net profit before tax
decreased by a smaller percentage (36.2%) to approximately US$1.0M (2008:
US$1.53M) as a result of higher investment gains. Basic and diluted earnings per
share were US$0.0046 (2008: US$0.0086).
Tax software
There has been no change in the status of the Group's SAT rollout since the
Company last reported. Despite this, our strategy of diversifying away from the
SAT project through the development and sale of value added tax software has
started to bear fruit and helped this division to book in an increase in revenue
compared to the same period of last year. This growth was achieved despite a
tough operating environment that saw a drop in turnover for our other divisions.
We are currently continuing our R&D and are looking to push out more new
products in this area.
e-Government
This division witnessed a marginal decrease in turnover as a result of a number
of local and provincial governments suspending discretionary spending during
late FY2008 and early FY2009. The e-Government division suffered constriction in
sales during the latter half of 2008 and this continued into FY2009. Sales for
the first quarter were significantly below those of the comparative period in
FY2009. However, in Q2 and Q3 the Company has witnessed a strong pickup of
activity in this division as the benefits of the PRC's RMB 4 trillion stimulus
package begin to filter through. The board are pleased that Q2's performance
resulted in the division achieving turnover marginally below HY2008 and the
Company is currently very active in this area, demonstrating the four tender
wins in Jiangsu that were recently announced.
Information Integration
Revenue of this division has always been derived mainly from large corporate
clients that use the Group's products and services to restructure and streamline
their IT infrastructure. As a result of the financial crisis, many such
corporations have either slashed their FY2009 IT spending budget or scrapped
their IT integration projects due to reduced business activity. As a result,
turnover for this division has fallen significantly, compared to the same period
last year.
Systems Integration
As expected with the tough economic conditions, turnover for this division is
lower than that of the same period last year. The Group's systems integration
services are dependent upon its customers installing new systems. As a
consequence, demand has dropped away as IT expenditure has been reduced.
However, some of the impact of this is mitigated - when compared with
Information Integration services - as this division sells to public sector
agencies where expenditure cuts have been less pronounced.
Outlook
Our strategy of diversifying from the SAT project into providing value added
software products has borne fruit in the form of increased revenues for the tax
software division, despite the difficult economic conditions. Likewise, we are
seeing signs of pickup in e-Government projects as a result of the stimulus
package. Although Information Integration is likely to see lower revenue this
year, the strong pickup in growth from the tax software and e-Government
division in the remaining months of FY2009 should be able to offset the poor
performance by this division.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT
TO SINOSOFT TECHNOLOGY PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the Company to review the financial information for
the six months ended 30 June 2009, which comprises the consolidated income
statement, consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of changes in
equity, consolidated cash flow statement and related notes 1 to 6. We have read
the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether it
contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the
financial information.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 issued by the Auditing
Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the
Company those matters that we are required to state to them in an independent
review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for
our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by the Directors. The Listing Rules
of the Financial Services Authority require that the accounting policies and
presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent with those
applied in preparing the AIM admission document except where changes, and the
reason for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use
in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making enquires of Group
management and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and
underlying financial data and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting
policies and presentation have been consistently applied, unless otherwise
disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and
verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less
in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the International Standards
on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board and
therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly we do
not express an audit opinion on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modification that
should be made to the consolidated financial information as presented for the
six months ended 30 June 2009.
