    Rating: Speculative Buy
    2005 Price Target: Under Review

    Response to recent licence agreements in China

    Key Points
    On 4 May 2005 GoConnect (GCN) announced that it had
    formed a licensing agreement with China Entertainment
    Holding Ltd (CEH), a wholly owned subsidiary of Best
    Winning Investments Ltd.. The license is for GCN’s mobile
    gaming technology Mobile 8888, designed for purchasing and
    viewing the results for number based games such as lottery
    and Keno. CEH is already active in these businesses with
    permits for over 500 sales locations in Shanghai. Once
    implemented, Mobile 8888 will facilitate lottery and Keno
    players to play anytime, anywhere.
    On the heels of this announcement, Sino Securities Ltd., the
    major shareholder of GCN with approximately 54% of the
    outstanding shares, announced that it intends to acquire CEH
    from Best Winning Investments in exchange for Sino shares.
    Best Winning also agreed to subscribe to additional Sino
    shares at A$0.60 per share. Sino offers investment banking
    services and its most significant holding is GCN.
    On 6 June 2005 GCN announced that it had formed a
    licensing agreement with Horizon Investment Group Ltd., the
    biggest shareholder of CEH. The license covers the GoTrek
    Internet TV and m-Vision mobile delivery platforms. Using
    GoConnect’s technology, Horizon intends to broadcast the
    results of lottery and Keno, as well as interactive game shows
    and sports content over the Lucky Channel in China via the
    Internet and mobile phones.
    Recommendation
    These series of announcements have acted as a catalyst for the
    Sino stock, bringing the price to a high of A$2.28 from
    A$0.18 in the last three months. We believe that the Horizon
    Investment Group’s primary interest in Sino is tied to GCN
    and the funds raised in Sino’s planned capital increase will
    fund GCN’s operations. At this point it is too early to provide
    projections about future earnings arising from these
    agreements. However, we are of the opinion that GCN offers
    significant upside potential and are reiterating our Speculative
    Buy recommendation. We intend to provide projections as
    more information becomes available.

    Risks
    The primary risks to our price target are: exclusive
    concentration on the Windows Mobile platform, difficulties
    with the pricing structures of the international mobile phone
    operators and the weak capital base of the company.

    Company Announcement Platform - Australian Stock Exchange - 06 June 2005
    The directors of GoConnect Ltd (“GCN”) are pleased to advise that GoTrek Pty Ltd (“GTP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of GCN, has entered into a technology licensing agreement with Horizon Investment Group Ltd (“Horizon”) for the licensing of the GoTrek Internet TV and m-Vision mobile video delivery platforms to Horizon for the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
    Horizon is the ultimate controlling shareholder of China Entertainment Holdings Ltd, a company that will be acquired by Sino Securities International Ltd (“SSI”), the parent company to GCN, subject to shareholders’ approval.
    The Lucky Channel will be broadcast nationally within the PRC over analogue TV via satellite, digital TV via cable, Internet TV via GoTrek, and mobile TV via m- Vision. The Lucky Channel has the exclusive right to deliver lottery and keno results, interactive game shows, and sports content nationally. Delivering the Lucky Channel over the four platforms of analogue, digital, Internet, and mobile will substantially increase the audience reach of the channel and provide unique cross selling opportunities for all four platforms, as well as for their advertisers and commercial sponsors. The Lucky Channel is targeted to be launched before year-end 2005, with an estimated audience reach on all four platforms of in excess of 100 million people within the PRC.
    The agreement between Horizon and GTP is based on revenue sharing. Revenue for the Lucky Channel will be derived from game show interactive mobile call and SMS charges, and sponsorship sales. Negotiations are under way to secure interactive game show content internationally to complement local Chinese production for the Lucky Channel. The Lucky Channel is expected to have strong appeal to local as well as international branded advertisers in view of its expected large interactive audience reach within the PRC and the right to deliver sports content with the lead up to the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008.

    The two companies are also in discussion to extend the Bollywood Zone TV service via GoTrek’s Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) technology to the Indian market.

However with the adoption of GoTrek, Internet television can be delivered to 100% of the existing Indian Internet online population.
