       diluted earnings per ADS(2) was US$0.09, a 23.9% increase from US$0.07
       in the second quarter 2009.
    -- Employees totalled 3,116, including 2,625 information technology (IT)
       professionals, as of June 30, 2010, representing a 57.3% increase in
       total employees and a 56.9% increase in IT professionals compared with
       June 30, 2009.

Mr. Simon Ma, Camelot's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report a very strong set of quarterly financial and operational results, following on from our July 21 initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange. Amidst volatile capital market conditions, our successful listing demonstrated investors' confidence in the strength of our revenue model and the attractive positioning of our business. Our listing also affords us the financial flexibility and global recognition to execute on our growth initiatives and capitalize on the positive industry dynamics in China's high-growth, underpenetrated IT services market.

"During the second quarter, revenue increased significantly, helping us to achieve 90.4% year-over-year top-line growth. Our Enterprise Application Services ("EAS") continued to benefit from overall market expansion, strong client engagement, and further growth in our leading market share. Performance in our Financial Industry IT Services ("FIS") segment also strengthened, boosted by the integration of our customized solutions acquisitions which positioned us to capture the next wave of financial services sector IT spending. As the Chinese banking industry becomes more sophisticated and competition increases, banks are facing growing pressure to improve customer operations and financial product innovation, giving rise to a new phase of industry-wide development and opportunity for Camelot. Going into the second half of 2010, we expect the growth momentum across our business lines, especially in EAS, will continue."

Ms. Heidi Chou, Camelot's Chief Operating Officer, added, "Our goal is to become the market leader in each of the IT service and solutions markets in China that we address by broadening our service offering and capitalizing on cross-selling opportunities. A prime example of our approach is exhibited by our activities in the Financial Industry IT Services (FIS) segment. Entering the second half of 2010, we are poised to benefit from our two recently acquired customized solutions providers which capture this next phase of financial sector IT spending in China. One of the customized solutions relates to automating bank teller systems and branch operations to improve customer experiences. The other is a financial supply chain solution that enables banks to offer innovative loan products while reducing overall credit risks. These products have significantly increased our FIS scope and scale, and provide us with considerable ongoing cross-selling opportunities with EAS and within FIS, on which we intend to capitalize in coming quarters."

Mr. Gordon Lau, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our listing provides us with the financial strength to execute our strategic and operational plans, as we increase the scalability of our business and enhance our margin profile. We believe our competitive advantages across all businesses, strong execution capability and favourable industry dynamics position us to achieve sustained top- and bottom-line growth. As a result, we anticipate net revenue for the third quarter 2010 to be approximately US$46.4 million, and adjusted net income attributable to Camelot to be approximately US$8.9 million."

    SECOND QUARTER 2010 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND OPERATIONAL UPDATES

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the second quarter 2010 increased 90.4% to US$44.1 million from US$23.1 million in the second quarter 2009.

    Total net revenue           44,070      100.0%      23,148       100.0%

EAS revenues increased 89.1% year-over-year to US$28.9 million, primarily reflecting the rapid growth of this service line as we increased our leading market position and benefitted from the general industry and financial market recovery in recent periods. FIS revenues increased 92.8% year-over-year to US$15.1 million, the increase being primarily a result of the contribution from the acquisition of customized solutions providers Tansun and Agree in 2009 ("customized solutions acquisitions").

EAS and FIS accounted for 65.7% and 34.3% of total net revenues, respectively, in the second quarter 2010, as compared to 66.1% and 33.9%, respectively, in the same period of the previous year, reflecting a shift to a more balanced contribution from the Company's two service lines.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Adjusted gross profit(1) increased 85.7% to US$14.0 million, from US$7.5 million in the second quarter 2009, as a result of revenue growth from both service lines. U.S. GAAP gross profit was US$13.4 million, compared to US$7.5 million for same period last year. The difference between adjusted and GAAP gross profit represents US$0.6 million in share-based compensation and the amortization of intangible assets relating to the customized solutions acquisitions.

Adjusted gross margin(1) in the second quarter 2010 was 31.7%, as compared to 32.5% in the second quarter 2009, as Camelot increased investment in order to capture new growth opportunities. U.S. GAAP gross margin for the second quarter 2010 was 30.5%, compared with 32.3% in the second quarter 2009.

Operating Expenses

Adjusted operating expenses(1) were US$6.6 million, a 67.3% year-over-year increase compared to the same period last year. U.S. GAAP operating expenses increased 95.0% to US$9.2 million from US$4.7 million in the second quarter 2009. The increase was mainly due to business expansion and the operating expenses incurred by the two customized solutions providers acquired in 2009. The difference between adjusted and GAAP operating expenses reflected US$0.5 million in share based compensation, US$1.1 million in amortization expenses, and US$1.0 million changes in fair value of contingent consideration incurred from the two customized solutions acquisitions in 2009.

Operating Income and Operating Margin

Adjusted operating income(1) in the second quarter 2010 increased 103.8% to US$7.4 million from US$3.6 million in the second quarter 2009. U.S. GAAP operating income in the second quarter 2010 increased 50.7% to US$4.2 million as compared to US$2.8 million in the second quarter 2009.

Adjusted operating margin(1) for the second quarter 2010 was 16.7%, compared with 15.6% in the second quarter 2009. U.S. GAAP operating margin for the second quarter 2010 was 9.5%, compared with 12.0% in the year-earlier period.

Net Income Attributable to Camelot and Earnings Per Share

As a result of the foregoing, adjusted net income(1) attributable to Camelot for the second quarter increased 102.3% to US$6.5 million from US$3.2 million in the second quarter 2009. U.S. GAAP net income attributable to Camelot for the second quarter 2010 increased 40.4% to US$3.4 million from US$2.4 million in the second quarter 2009.

Adjusted net margin(1) was 14.8% in the second quarter 2010, compared to 14.0% in the second quarter 2009. U.S. GAAP net margin was 7.7% in the second quarter 2010, compared to 10.4% in second quarter 2009, reflecting an increase in amortization of share based compensation, intangible assets and change in fair value of contingent consideration for the customized solutions acquisitions in 2009.

Second quarter 2010 adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) was US$0.04, compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of US$0.02 in the second quarter 2009. U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share in the second quarter 2010 was US$0.02, in line with diluted earnings per share of US$0.02 in the year-earlier period.

Second quarter 2010 adjusted diluted earnings per ADS(2) was US$0.18, compared to adjusted diluted earnings per ADS(2) of US$0.10 in the same period of the previous year. U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per ADS(2) in the second quarter 2010 was US$0.09, a 23.9% increase from diluted earnings per ADS(2) of US$0.07 in the second quarter 2009.

In terms of IT professionals, EAS employee headcount was 1,487, and FIS employee headcount was 1,138 at June 30, 2010.

    (1) For more information about the adjusted (i.e. non-GAAP) financial
        measures contained in this press release, please see "Use of Non-GAAP
        Financial Measures" below.
    (2) One American Depositary Share ("ADS") is equivalent to four ordinary
        shares.
    (3) Calculated by dividing average accounts receivable, net of deferred
        revenue, by rolling gross revenue before business tax and related
        surcharges, and multiplying by 360 days. Rolling gross revenue is for
        the 12 months ended June 30, 2010.

    RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Initial Public Offering

Camelot's initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange raised US$146.7 million, ranking it as the largest ever United States (US) IPO from a Chinese IT services company, as well as the largest US IPO from China in 2010 at the time of listing on July 21, 2010. This milestone event has provided the Company with funding and flexibility to execute on its business expansion objectives, including the pursuit of additional strategic acquisitions, and will make Camelot's equity incentive scheme more effective, which in turn will strengthen its ability to attract and retain top talent.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Camelot uses the non-GAAP ("adjusted") financial measures of gross profit and margin, operating expenses, operating income and margin, net income attributable to Camelot Information Systems Inc. and margin, and diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per ADS, which are adjusted from results based on U.S. GAAP to exclude share-based compensation, acquisition-related intangible amortization, gain from extinguishment of liability, postponed initial public offering costs, and changes in fair value of contingent consideration. The non-GAAP financial measure is provided as additional information to help our investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future. The non-GAAP financial measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of the non-GAAP financial measure may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

STATEMENT REGARDING UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited financial information set forth above is subject to adjustments that may be identified when audit work is performed on the Company's year-end financial statements, which could result in significant differences from this unaudited financial information.
