</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company&#146;s articles
of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors,
except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands
courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification
against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The
registrant&#146;s Articles of Association provide for indemnification of officers
and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their
capacities as such, except if they acted in a willfully negligent manner or
defaulted in any action against them. In addition, the registrant has entered
into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable as a matter of U.S. law.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director, officer, employee or agent of SINA Corporation where indemnification
will be required or permitted. SINA Corporation is not aware of any threatened
litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for such indemnification.

determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as the indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the question has already been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") are hereby incorporated by reference:
(a)    The registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2002 pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act"), which contains audited financial statements for the
registrant's latest fiscal year for which such statements have been filed.
(b)     All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual Report
referred to in (a) above, including the Transition Report on Form 10-K filed
for the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2002.
(c)     The description of the registrant's ordinary shares contained in the
registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act on April 12, 2000 including any amendment or
report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to
be part hereof from the date of filing such documents.
Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles
of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors,
except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands
courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification
against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The
registrant's Articles of Association provide for indemnification of officers
and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their
capacities as such, except if they acted in a willfully negligent manner or
defaulted in any action against them. In addition, the registrant has entered
into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable as a matter of U.S. law.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director, officer, employee or agent of SINA Corporation where indemnification
will be required or permitted. SINA Corporation is not aware of any threatened
litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for such indemnification.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)   to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.
(2)   that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3)   to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as the indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the question has already been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
