INTAC Goes to School in China HONG KONG, April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- INTAC International, Inc. (Nasdaq: INTN; FSE: WKN 805768) a leading provider of a full range of integrated career development services to Chinese students as well as management software products for educational institutions in China, today announced that it has launched a number of new value-added services to expand and strengthen the market coverage of INTAC's newly acquired subsidiary, Beijing Huana Xinlong Information and Technology Development Co., Ltd. (Huana Xinlong). Huana Xinlong's software for educational institution administration, which has been designated as the standard of the China School Administration System by the government's Education Management Information Center, is currently installed in approximately 5,500 elementary, middle and high schools in China. INTAC has been furthering its position by developing and offering incremental value-added services and products to better serve the captive customer base of teachers, parents and pupils. Two of the newest services, FSLCS (Family-School Link Communication System) and PCLCS (Parent- Children Link Communication System), launched off INTAC's installed system platform, enable parents, teachers and pupils to enhance communications and to improve the quality of education services to pupils. INTAC is pursuing an aggressive expansion plan to capture an increased share of the target market. China has approximately 650,000 elementary, middle and high schools and INTAC expects to have more than 100,000 systems installed in these schools by the end of 2007. "Huana Xinlong's unique presence in the elementary, middle and high school market is achieved through the offering of standardized automated school administrative infrastructure. With a huge accessible market, over 650,000 elementary, middle and high schools with more than 200 million students enrolled, the company has an enormous space to offer other value-added services and products," commented Mr. Wei Zhou, President and CEO of the company. The business model captures two streams of growing revenues. On one hand, the installed system offers a growing and steady revenue base. On the other hand, INTAC's unique position in schools' infrastructure provides the opportunity to reap another rapidly growing revenue stream through the development and offering of incremental value-added services and products such as PCLCS and FSLCS. "We expect to sign up 500,000 users for the PCLCS service and see 20,000 average monthly users for the FSLCS service by the end of 2005. When fully adopted, they are expected to become core revenue contributors to INTAC," commented Mr. Zhou. "The offering of the services is consistent with the company's strategy of building captive communities in the education market and launching value-added services and products. The acquisition of Huana Xinlong enables us to have a unique access to the elementary, middle and high school communities and to offer teachers, parents and students a wide range of value- added services and products." Furthermore, Huana Xinlong was selected and mandated by China's Ministry of Education for the pilot installation and implementation of the DSD (Demonstration School Districts) program designated by the government in 12 provinces and municipalities. At the end of 2004, INTAC's Huana Xinlong's system achieved coverage of 22 DSDs with installations in more than 5,500 elementary, middle and high schools. About INTAC International, Inc.
