universities and the top 168 state-owned companies. This Recruiting
Exposition is fully supported by both the MOE (China's Ministry of
Education) and the SASAC (the State-owned Assets Supervision and
Administration Commission of the State Council), but will be
managed by Intac Purun and its PHR Bank. This event will be held
from November 22, 2004 through November 28, 2004. After the Chinese
New Year, a similar recruiting event will be held from February 22,
2005 through February 28, 2005. Throughout this recruiting
exposition, the resumes of college graduates from 1638
universities, supervised by the MOE, will be sent to
http://www.myjob.edu.cn/, the official website of the MOE providing
employment information for China's college graduates and
administrated solely by Intac Purun. Simultaneously, the recruiting
information, including job postings, from China's top 168
stated-owned companies, such as Petro China and CMCC (China
Mobile), which are all supervised and administrated by SASAC, will
be listed on http://www.myjob.edu.cn/. This site will enable the
graduates and companies to search, choose and contact each other
easily, effectively and efficiently. "Through this online
Recruiting Exposition, we expect to establish and combine an
effective database of both graduates' resumes and large state-owned
companies' recruiting information. With the help of Intac Purun's
recruiting platform, PHR Bank, graduates will be able to easily
search and apply for any suitable job opportunities. In addition,
those large state-owned companies will also be able to easily
search, find and contact their potential candidates. This has
significant meanings for both graduates and large state- owned
companies," said a representative of the MOE. "With the support of
the MOE and SASAC, Intac Purun is very proud to undertake such a
prestigious recruiting event. Intac Purun is playing an active and
important role in recruiting services in China, and that role is
being recognized by both the Chinese government and college
students in China," says Wei Zhou, Chairman and CEO of INTAC, "We
expect it to not only to be financially rewarding, but also build a
very powerful partnership with both graduates and large companies.
Furthermore, we have the opportunity to build and maintain a
long-term relationship with the SASAC and the top 168 state- owned
companies for future cooperation in recruiting and training
services." The Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year
