Directors Commentary Interim condensed consolidated financial statements 30 September 2014 Performance review Overview Crimsonwing enjoyed a good first half sales performance with revenues up 9% on the same period last year to 10,737,379 (2013: 9,860,961). This meant that again we achieved our highest first half revenues. Sales in two units were particularly strong. The UK grew revenues by 16% to 5,497,038 (2013: 4,753,989) and Malta also grew 16% to 4,570,055 (2013: 3,935,965). Overall the Group is seeing strong demand for its Microsoft Dynamics solutions and in line with the increased revenues there was extra investment needed to activate additional consultancy resources for the large programmes of work coming on stream in the second half of the year. We now have a number of international and indeed global programmes involving Dynamics solutions which will require us to strengthen our programme and change management capabilities in the months ahead. Our ecommerce units have had a steady first half. We undertook our first joint Magento project with ebay Enterprise and we scored new wins on the Intershop platform in The Netherlands. We have invested in the first half in both business development in the UK and the Netherlands and in the building of two solutions (owned intellectual property). These are an omnichannel solution (Magento platform) and a Mobile enabling solution for webstores which will launch in early 2015. Crimsonwing administration costs increased in line with revenues by 9% to 2,632,317 (2013: 2,416,853). EBITDA achieved was 1,099,663 (2013: 1,156,584). Profit after tax was very similar to last year being 605,740 (2013: 608,644). The revenues, EBITDA and net profit achievements were on budget plan for the first half year. In the first half we have been heavily involved in some Dynamics solution designs for several global programmes. We then have to invest in additional resources in the second quarter to be ready for these solutions to move into their larger build phases in our second half year. Hence we are expecting a stronger second half. pg. 3
Directors Commentary (continued) Interim condensed consolidated financial statements 30 September 2014 Sector Reporting Crimsonwing UK Overall revenues in the UK increased by 16% to 5,497,038 (2013: 4,753,989). Dynamics was again the best performing unit and we secured some very exciting international projects. We launched three new ecommerce sites under the global programme with Mothercare, and made very good progress on our omnichannel solution build which we demonstrated at the ecommerce Expo at Olympia. Crimsonwing NL (including Promentum) The Netherlands has had a challenging and hard-working first half, although it did achieve its budgets, and remains on track for a good full year. Going into the year we have had to provide extra support to a client launching on a Dynamics and ecommerce platform combined. This has impacted our ability to free up some of our resources on new work. The pipeline of work across all units is strong, and we have particularly good opportunities in our Dynamics for Membership vertical. We ran solution events both in The Netherlands and the UK and sold some important new licences in the first half. Crimsonwing Malta Malta had a very good first half with revenues increasing 16% to 4,570,055 (2013: 3,935,965). EBITDA increased to 656,948 (2013: 290,831). Our Malta operation is very active both in the local market and in support of our UK and Dutch operations. Again our Dynamics practice has been growing rapidly to support the demand and in recognition of this Stephen Abela, our Head of Dynamics in Malta, was appointed Director. Our solution centre in Malta is also the hub of our solution product development and builds both our Dynamics for Membership solution and our mobile enabling solution (which is an R&D project). Solution intellectual property (IP) is an important strategic initiative for us as it will improve our margins, allow repeatable deployments, and capture annuity support revenues. Summary The Directors are pleased with the overall progress of the first half which is on budget plan. We are now engaged on several international solution builds which will underpin and drive our performance forward in the second half. pg. 4

Crimsonwing plc Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (continued) 30 September 2014 5. Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For financial reporting measures, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows: - Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; - Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and - Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group and Company determine when transfers are deemed to have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy at the end of each reporting period. The reported carrying amounts at the respective balance sheet dates of the Group s and company s financial instruments, other than the investments in subsidiaries, are a reasonable approximation of their fair values in view of their short-term maturities. The fair values of non-current financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value are based on discounted cash flows and are determined not to be materially different from their carrying amounts either because of their short-term maturities or because the interest rate re-prices annually. Their carrying amounts therefore approximate their fair values and are deemed to be a Level 2 measurement. pg. 16
