Summary
Financial results
The figures below relate to the consolidated accounts for the second quarter and first half 2016, which comprise activities within the two segments Desktop and Data Center. The quarterly figures are unaudited.
Asetek reported total revenue of \$8.4 million in the second quarter of 2016, reflecting growth of 4% over the same period of 2015 (\$8.0 million). Total revenue in the first half 2016 was \$18.8 million, an increase of 38% over the same period of 2015 (\$13.5 million). The increase in the second quarter reflects the growth in shipment of data center products in 2016. Growth in the first half revenue resulted principally from increased shipments of desktop do-it-yourself ("DIY") products in the first quarter 2016 compared with the same period last year.
Desktop sales unit volumes for the second quarter 2016 were 162,000, level with the same period of last year (163,000). Unit shipments for the first half 2016 represented a 25% increase compared with first half 2015. The increase in unit shipments in the first half resulted from strong demand in the DIY market. Average selling prices (ASPs) per unit in the quarter declined slightly from the second quarter 2015 due to variability in the mix of products shipped. ASPs in the first half year 2016 increased compared with the same period of 2015, resulting principally from the sale of newer high performing products.
Gross margin was 38.0% for the second quarter of 2016, an increase from 27.4% in the same period last year. Gross margin for the first half of 2016 increased to 38.6% from 31.2% in the first half 2015. The increase in gross margin in both periods reflects a one-time charge of \$0.8 million incurred in second quarter 2015 when Asetek decided to recall, rework and reship a bulk of DIY products as a quality assurance measure.
Total operating expense increased in the second quarter and first half when compared with the same periods of 2015, reflecting principally a \$1.8 million settlement awarded to Asetek in the second quarter of 2015 for a patent infringement lawsuit with CoolIT Systems (see Note 5 to the quarterly financial statements). Excluding the litigation settlement, operating costs have declined in 2016. Legal costs incurred associated with defense of existing intellectual property (IP) and securing new IP declined to \$0.3 million and \$0.7 million in the second quarter and first half of 2016 (\$0.5 million and \$1.1 million in the same periods of 2015), respectively. The Company also reduced employee compensation costs in the second quarter and first half 2016, when compared with the same periods of the prior year.
Finance expenses during the second quarter include net foreign exchange gain of \$0.1 million and loss of \$0.1 million in the second quarter and first half 2016 (net \$0.6 million gain and \$0.2 million gain in the respective periods of 2015).
Asetek incurred a net loss of \$0.4 million and net income of \$4 thousand for the second quarter and first half of 2016, compared with net income of \$0.3 million and net loss of \$2.2 million in the respective periods of 2015.
Asetek's total assets at June 30, 2016 amounted to \$27.0 million, a decrease of \$0.7 million from December 31, 2015. The decrease in assets resulted principally from the usage of positive cash flows in the first quarter to pay down short-term
Cash Flow (Consolidated)
Net cash provided by operating activities was \$3.8 million for the first half of 2016 (\$3.7 million used in first half of 2015). The operating cash provided in the first half of 2016 mainly relates to collection of receivables.
Cash used by investing activities was \$1.4 million, related principally to additions in capitalized development costs. The figure compares with \$1.0 million for the first half of 2015.
Cash used by financing activities in the first half of 2016 was \$18 thousand, compared with \$11.9 million provided in the first half of 2015. The
liabilities. Total liabilities decreased \$1.0 million in the first half of 2016. Total cash and cash equivalents was \$15.6 million at June 30, 2016.
activity in first half of 2015 represents principally funds raised through the private and public offerings of common stock, net of financing costs.
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents was \$2.5 million in first half of 2016, compared with an increase of \$7.5 million in the same period last year. Excluding equity offering transactions, the net change in cash in the first half of 2015 was negative \$4.6 million.
The Company reports on two distinct segments; the Desktop segment and the Data Center segment.
The two segments are identified by their specific sets of products and specific sets of customers. The splitting of operating expenses between segments is based on the Company's best judgment, and done by using the Company's employee/project time tracking system and project codes from the accounting system. Operating expenses that are not divisible by nature (rent, telecommunication expenses, etc.) have been split according to actual time spent on the two businesses, and the Company's best estimate for attribution. Costs incurred for intellectual property defense, financing, foreign exchange and headquarters administration have been classified separately as headquarters costs and excluded from segment operating expenses as indicated.

Revenue split, H1-2016 Percent
■ Workstations Gaming/Performance Desktop PC's $\blacksquare$ DIY
The change in revenue split reflects the increased demand in the Gaming/Performance Desktop PC market in the first half 2016.
In the second quarter of 2016, Asetek's desktop revenue declined 1% from the second quarter of 2015. As expected, the decrease resulted from lower demand in the DIY market in the second quarter 2016 compared with the same period of 2015. This decrease was partly offset by an increase in demand in the Gaming/Performance Desktop PC market. During the second quarter, Asetek began shipping four new products, including one for a DIY customer and three in the Gaming/Performance Desktop PC market.
Asetek's desktop revenue was \$7.6 million in the second quarter and \$17.0 million in the first half of 2016, compared with \$7.7 million and \$13.1 million in the second quarter and first half of 2015, respectively. Asetek's desktop revenue retreated in the second quarter following record revenue in 2015 and early 2016 due to an extraordinary strong demand for do-it-yourself (DIY) products.
Desktop gross margin has remained relatively stable in the past four quarters. Gross margin was unusually low in Q2 2015 due to a one-time cost of \$0.8 million incurred when the Company decided to recall, rework and reship a bulk of DIY products as $\overline{a}$ quality assurance measure.
In first half of 2016, desktop revenue increased 30% from first half of 2015 due to strong growth in the DIY market in the first quarter of 2016. Gaming/ Performance Desktop PC revenue also increased in the first half of 2016.
Asetek's expectation for full year 2016 revenue within the desktop segment has solidified through the first half and into the second half of 2016. The company now expects desktop segment revenue above \$37m, equal to more than 10% revenue
growth. Asetek has previously in 2016 stated that it expected desktop revenue to grow modestly from a record \$34m level in 2015.
Revenue variability by quarter is expected to continue.
Gross margins in the second quarter and first half of 2016 increased from the same periods of the prior year due to a one-time \$0.8 million cost incurred for quality measures in the second quarter of 2015. Gross margins in the third quarter of 2016 are expected to approximate margins achieved in the second quarter of 2016.
Overall, the desktop market continues to thrive despite the challenges facing the PC industry. The
As the high performance computing (HPC) industry struggles with balancing the contrary requirements of increasing performance capacity and reducing energy consumption, the adoption of Asetek's liquid cooling products has accelerated. The Company has major liquid cooling installations at multiple HPC sites in the U.S., Japan and Europe. To drive growth in this market, Asetek continues to invest in technology development, product marketing and sales activities with data center partners and OEM customers.
growth in high performance and gaming PC's is driven in part by customers' desire for a more immersive gaming experience, which is increasing demand for new technologies such as 4K screen resolution and virtual reality capability. These new technologies in turn require high performing graphics processors (GPUs), which also demand advanced cooling. As a result, Asetek's total available desktop market, which includes GPUs as well as CPUs, is expanding - a high performance PC now typically needs two liquid coolers instead of only one. Asetek has grown its revenue from GPU cooling products in recent quarters and will pursue further advancement of this market segment in the future.
Asetek's data center revenue was \$0.8 million in the second quarter and \$1.8 million in the first half of 2016, compared with \$0.3 million and \$0.5 million in the second quarter and first half of 2015, respectively. The increases in both periods were driven principally by shipments to customers who are new to Asetek in the past year.
Data center gross margins decreased in the second quarter of 2016 compared with the same period of 2015, and have fluctuated principally due to variability in the mix of deliverables on government contracts relative to the volume of product shipments to OEMs.
While Asetek continues the implementation of its data center strategy, costs are driven by investments in technology development, product marketing, and sales development with data center partners and OEM customers.
In the second quarter, Asetek shipped \$0.2 million of RackCDU Direct to Chip™ products to Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH (Fujitsu) for installation at the Joint Center for Advanced High Performance Computing (JCAHPC) in conjunction with University of Tokyo and Tsukuba University. When completed, this installation will be the highest performance supercomputer system in Japan. Fujitsu is using Asetek's liquid cooling to remove heat from processors and other high power components in its 8,208 node Fujitsu
PRIMERGY cluster deliver $to$ maximum performance while keeping operating costs at a minimum. The JCAHPC project is expected to generate total revenue of \$1.0 to \$1.5 million for Asetek in 2016.
During the quarter, Asetek shipped \$0.1 million of product under an OEM purchase agreement with Penguin Computing, Inc. As part of the agreement, Penguin is incorporating RackCDU D2C™ liquid cooling into its Tundra™ Extreme Scale (ES) HPC server product line. End customers include the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration's CTS-1 systems deployment at three national laboratories, which will collectively constitute one of the world's largest Open Compute-based installations. The CTS-1 project and the OEM relationship with Penguin is anticipated to result in \$1.5 to \$2.0 million of total revenue for Asetek in 2016 (\$0.9 million of which was generated in first half of 2016).
During the second quarter, Asetek continued activities on its \$3.5 million contract with the California Energy Commission. The Company generated revenue of \$0.2 million, principally from the ongoing conversion of the "Cabernet" supercomputer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to liquid cooling. This is the first of two data centers scheduled to be converted during this two-year contract. Through the second quarter of 2016, Asetek has generated cumulative revenue of \$1.0 million from this contract.
Progress on Asetek's three-year contract with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), which previously paused while the DoD relocated the project to a different site, has restarted. A new site has been selected and facilities work will begin in the third quarter. Revenue is expected to ramp in the second half of 2016.
Asetek's progress in the data center market indicates a broadening acceptance of liquid cooling in the HPC market, and high-power technologies such as Intel's family of Xeon Phi processors are supporting this development. Working closely with ecosystem partners such as Intel, and large OEM's such as Fujitsu, has enabled Asetek to connect with a wide array of companies and institutions exploring the Company's liquid cooling solutions. Furthermore, the significant cost savings and efficiency of Asetek's RackCDU installations in large-scale deployments is garnering attention from decision makers across the industry.
Asetek's strategy in the data center market is to increase end-user adoption within existing OEM customers, and to add new OEM customers. The Company plans to achieve this by continuing to develop and defend its market-leading technology and leverage the successful performance achieved at its installed base of universities, enterprises and government entities. The Company expects significant revenue growth in the data center segment in 2016 compared with 2015. Revenue and operating results are however expected to fluctuate as partnerships with large OEMs are developed.
Asetek holds a portfolio of intellectual property (IP) rights including patents providing competitive advantages and high barriers to entry for competitors. Currently Asetek has pending patent and utility model applications worldwide, with additional applications under preparation.
As part of efforts to build and maintain its market share, the Company continues to closely review and assess all competitive offerings for infringement of its patents. The Company has strengthened its intellectual property platform and competitiveness via several positive lawsuit outcomes in prior years.
In December 2014, the U.S. District Court unanimously ruled in favor of Asetek on all claims in a patent infringement lawsuit against CMI USA,
Inc. ("CMI"). The jury awarded Asetek damages of \$0.4 million, representing a 14.5% royalty on CMI's infringing sales since 2012, and the court issued a permanent injunction barring CMI from selling infringing products in the U.S. In October 2015, CMI filed an appeal with the Federal Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. The appeal is expected to be addressed by the court in 2016. During the appeal, the court's injunction against CMI remains in effect. In January 2016, the U.S. District Court denied a motion by CMI to suspend the injunction.
In April 2016, Asetek initiated patent infringement proceedings against Cooler Master before the District Court The Hague in the Netherlands. The proceedings pertain to European Patent EP 1 923 771 owned by Asetek.
In 2015, the Company recognized \$1.8 million of income from a litigation settlement at the time the payments were received in the third and fourth quarters of 2015. In June 2016, the Danish Business Authority issued an enforcement decision indicating that the income from the settlement should have been recognized in full at the time the settlement was awarded in the second quarter of 2015. As a result, this change is reflected in the 2015 results presented in this Report.
The Company's annual general meeting was held on April 27, 2016, where the following matters occurred or were reported:
The Company has historically incurred operating losses and is in the development stages of its data center business.
The Company's revenue growth is dependent on the market acceptance of its data center offerings and the release of new products from server OEM customers to facilitate its trial system deployments. Revenue in the desktop segment is subject to fluctuations and is dependent, in part,
on the popularity and new releases of end user products by Asetek's customers.
In first half of 2016, one customer accounted for 51% of total revenue. In the event of a decline or loss of this significant customer, replacement of this revenue stream would be difficult for Asetek to achieve in the short term. Asetek is actively pursuing strategies to broaden its customer base in efforts to mitigate this risk.
Asetek relies upon suppliers and partners to supply products and services at competitive prices. Asetek's desktop products have been historically assembled by a single contract manufacturer which may be difficult to substitute in the short term if the need should arise. The Company added a second contract manufacturer in 2015 to assume a portion of the manufacturing volume. Asetek also mitigates the supplier risk with Company‐owned supplemental manufacturing lines which can be utilized if necessary.
Asetek has filed and defended lawsuits against competitors for patent infringement. While some of the recent cases have been settled or dismissed, some may continue, and new cases may be initiated. Such cases may proceed for an extended period and could potentially lead to an unfavorable outcome to Asetek. Asetek has incurred significant legal costs associated with litigation and may continue to do so in the future to the extent management believes it is necessary to protect intellectual property.
Asetek operates internationally in Denmark, USA, China, and Taiwan and is subject to foreign exchange risk. As of June 30, 2016, its principal cash holdings are maintained in deposit accounts in U.S. dollars and Danish krone.
A more thorough elaboration on risk factors can be found in the Company's prospectus dated March 23, 2015, available from the Company's website: www.asetek.com.

Asetek A/S ('the Company'), and its subsidiaries (together, 'Asetek Group', 'the Group' or 'Asetek') designs, develops and markets thermal management solutions used in computers and data center servers. The Group's core products utilize liquid cooling technology to provide improved performance, acoustics and energy efficiency. The Company is based in Aalborg, Denmark with offices in USA and China. The Company's shares trade on the Oslo Stock Exchange under the symbol 'ASETEK'.
These condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 have been prepared on a historical cost convention in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union (EU) and do not include all of the information and disclosure required in the annual consolidated financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Asetek A/S 2015 Annual Report.
The accounting policies adopted in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The Group operates in an industry where seasonal or cyclical variations in total sales are not normally experienced during the financial year.
In April, 2016, the Company granted a total of 600,000 warrants to management and board members. Each warrant has an exercise price of NOK 19.50 (USD \$2.40) per share and becomes exercisable gradually over a period of one or four years.
At June 30, 2016, there are 24.8 million common shares outstanding and 0.5 million shares in treasury. Treasury shares may be used to fulfill share options and warrants outstanding totaling approximately 2.1 million. Share based payment expense associated with total warrants and options outstanding was \$0.1 million and \$0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
In March 2015, the Company raised \$12.4 million in gross proceeds through a private placement of 10 million new common shares, each with a par value of DKK 0.10, at a price of NOK 10.00 per share. In April 2015, the Company raised \$0.6 million in gross proceeds through the public issuance of an additional 480 thousand new shares, each with a par value of DKK 0.10, at a price of NOK 10.00 per share.
The Group's business includes a significant element of research and development activity. Under IAS 38, there is a requirement to capitalize and amortize development spend to match costs to expected benefits from projects deemed to be commercially viable. Costs capitalized are recorded on the balance sheet as intangible assets, net of amortization. In the first half of 2016, the Company capitalized approximately \$1.0 million of development costs and recorded amortization of approximately \$1.0 million (capitalized costs of \$0.8 million and amortization of \$0.8 million in the first half of 2015).
IAS 33 requires disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share for entities whose shares are publicly traded. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the number of common shares outstanding used in the Basic calculation for the effect of dilutive equity instruments, which include options, warrants and debt or preferred shares that are convertible to common shares, to the extent their inclusion in the calculation would be dilutive.

*Interim 2015 results have been restated as described in Note 5.
Potential dilutive instruments are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the second quarter 2016, first half 2016, and first half 2015 because the effect of including them would be anti‐dilutive.
In 2015, the Company recognized \$1.8 million of income from a litigation settlement at the time the payments were received in the third and fourth quarters of 2015. On June 15, 2016 the Danish Business Authority issued an enforcement decision indicating that the income from the settlement should have been recognized in full at the time the settlement was awarded in the second quarter of 2015, and presented as a separate line item on the financial statements. As a result, this change is reflected in the 2015 results in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and other affected schedules in this Report. The following tables present the effect of the change:

In addition to the Company's grant of warrants referenced in Note 2, the following represent additional transactions with related parties. The Company's chairman is a member of the board of directors of Corsair, a customer of the company. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, Asetek had sales of inventory to Corsair of \$9.7 million and \$8.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, Asetek had outstanding trade receivables from Corsair of \$2.9 million and \$2.2 million, respectively.
The Company's CEO serves as Chairman of the Board for a vendor that supplies services to the Company. In the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company purchased services totaling approximately \$0.1 million and \$0.1 million, respectively, from this vendor.
Since 2011, the Company's annual consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Previously, the Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The following represent the principal effects to Asetek's financial statements as a result of this change:
Intangible assets. Capitalization of costs associated with product development is required under IFRS but is not required under GAAP. Intangible assets of \$1.86 million on the Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2016 represent the capitalization of product development costs, net of amortization. The associated amortization over the products' lifecycle is charged as an operating expense.
Share based compensation. IFRS requires that each installment of a share based payment award be treated as a separate grant and separately measured and attributed to expense over the vesting period. As a result, calculation of share based payment expense under IFRS generally results in recognition of a greater amount of expense earlier in the life of the option grant than the comparable calculation under GAAP.
