    The board of directors ("Directors") of Start                             
    Technology Company Limited ("Company") announces

    name of "*" is also proposed to be adopted                                
    by the Company to replace the existing Chinese name

    Reasons and conditions for the change                                     
    The proposed change of company name is to reflect the                     
    intention of shifting the major focus of the Group                        
    from the present business of provision of software                        
    development and systems integration services to                           
    electronic finance sector following the acquisition                       
    of 30% interests in Loten Technology Co., Ltd.                            
    ("Loten"), a solution provider in relation to the                         
    management of automatic teller machines for financial                     
    institutions in the People's Republic of China. The                       
    provision of electronic finance services is an                            
    addition to the present businesses of the Group. The                      
    Directors are confident that the management of the                        
    Group and the existing management of Loten will                           
    continue to steer the business carried on by Loten                        
    to flourish. Despite the shift in the business focus,                     
    the Group will continue its present business of                           
    provision of software development and systems                             
    integration services.                                                     
                                                                              
    The proposed change of company name is conditional                        
    upon (i) the passing of a special resolution by the

    of the holders of securities of the Company. The
