Preface – Key figures

Dear Shareholders,

In our half-year results published in August, we reported on the CANCOM Group's strategic redirection towards the latest IT trend, cloud computing. Now, a good three months later, we find our decision was more than justified. This is reflected both by the outstanding results for the third quarter and by our promising business prospects on account of our good position in the field of cloud computing, with our own CANCOM AHP Private Cloud solution.

The results for the third quarter of 2010 significantly exceed our expectations for the otherwise rather weak summer months. We experienced a broadening of our business as our customers' investment backlog started to clear. Convinced that this positive trend will continue for the year as a whole, in August we increased our EBITDA guidance to € 13.0 million, and the positive thirdquarter results are grounds for a further increase.

In August we received the award for Best Integrated Systems Provider again, showing that the Group is well positioned and that our products and services offer our customers added value. We are very proud of the award and are grateful for the confidence shown in us.

We are also grateful to you, our shareholders, for your confidence in CANCOM, and will be very pleased if you continue to support us.

Kind regards

Klaus Weinmann, CEO

1. CANCOM's business and the general economic situation

Organisational and legal structure of the CANCOM Group

CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft, based in Jettingen-Scheppach, Germany, performs the central financial and management role for the equity investments held by the CANCOM Group.

Focus of activities and sales markets

One of the three largest independent integrated systems providers in Germany, the CANCOM Group has steadily been transformed over the last few years through strategic acquisitions from a systems house focusing primarily on hardware and software, into an IT architect, IT systems integrator and Managed Service Provider. As a provider of integrated services, its central focus is now on providing IT ser-vices in addition to selling hardware and software from prestigious manufacturers. Its IT services range includes design and integration of IT systems, as well as sys-tem operation.

The CANCOM Group's customer base therefore includes primarily commercial end-users, from independent professionals to medium and large-sized companies and public-sector institutions. Through the e-commerce platform of HOH Home of Hardware GmbH at www.hoh.de, the CANCOM Group provides products and ser-vices to private as well as business customers.

Explanation of the control system used within the Group

To control and monitor the development of the individual subsidiaries, once a month CANCOM analyses, among other things, their sales revenues, gross profit, operating expenditure and operating profit, and compares these key figures with the original plan as well as the quarterly forecast. Additionally, the Company regularly uses external indicators such as inflation rates, interest rates, the general economic trend and the performance of the IT sector – as well as forecasts for these – for the purpose of management control. The cash management procedures include a daily status investigation.

Research and development activities

Innovation is very important for economic momentum and growth. CANCOM concentrates its research and development activities on IT growth segments such as Cloud Computing, virtualisation solutions, managed services, online technologies, systems development and process optimisation.

Overview of the CANCOM Group's business performance

The CANCOM Group continued on its path of growth in the first nine months of 2010, with significant year-on-year increases in sales revenues and profits.

Consolidated sales revenues were 24.9 percent higher in the first nine months of 2010 than in the same period of 2009, at € 380.2 million compared with € 304.4 million. The consolidated gross profit was up 26.8 percent, from € 85.4 million to € 108.3 million. The gross profit margin was up from 28.1 percent to 28.5 percent. Consolidated EBITDA earnings for the first nine months of the cur-rent financial year amounted to € 10.7 million – an increase of 105.8 percent – and consolidated EBIT rose by 153.3 percent to € 7.6 million.

Note: some adjustments to the figures for the first half of 2009 have been necessary to take into ac-count businesses that were classified as discontinued operations in the first half of 2009 in compliance with IFRS 5.

Total 74,665 61,226

2. Earnings, financial and assets position of the CANCOM Group

a) Earnings position

There was a considerable year-on-year increase in sales revenues and profit in the first nine months of 2010. The significant growth is partly owing to the improved general economic conditions and the increasing IT spending on part of the com-panies, but also to the inclusion of the recently acquired CANCOM Bürotex and CANCOM SCC in the consolidated financial statements. However, in the third quarter of 2010 alone, the CANCOM Group recorded organic growth of 26.4 per-cent. The consolidated sales revenues of the CANCOM Group in the first nine months of the current year rose by 24.9 percent year on year, from € 304.4 million to € 380.2 million.

In Germany, the sales revenues for the first nine months of 2010 were up 24.4 percent year on year, from € 278.2 million to € 346.2 million. This growth is partly owing to the acquisition of CANCOM Bürotex and CANCOM SCC.

In international business, the CANCOM Group's sales revenues rose by 29.8 percent, from € 26.2 million to € 34.0 million.

In the e-commerce/trade segment, sales revenues were up 9.7 percent, from € 156.1 million to € 171.3 million. In the IT solutions segment they were up 40.8 percent, from € 148.3 million to € 208.8 million.

The consolidated gross profit for the first nine months of 2010 was up 26.8 percent year on year, from € 85.4 million to € 108.3 million.

The gross profit margin rose from 28.1 percent to 28.5 percent, mainly as a result of the concentrated focus on high-income and high-growth market segments such as IT solutions, consulting and managed services.

CANCOM Group's gross profit: year-on-year comparison of first half figures, 2009 and 2010 (in € million)

Consolidated EBITDA for the first nine months of 2010 was up 105.8 percent on the same period in 2009, at € 10.7 million compared with € 5.2 million.

CANCOM Group's EBITDA: year-on-year comparison of first half figures, 2009 and 2010 (in € million)

Consolidated EBIT for the first nine months of 2010 amounts to € 7.6 million, as compared with € 3.0 million in the first nine months of 2009, equivalent to a growth of 153.3 percent.

CANCOM Group's EBIT: year-on-year comparison of first half figures, 2009 and 2010 (in € million)

The net income for the first nine months of 2010 amounted to € 4.7 million, in comparison with € 1.8 million in 2009. As a result, earnings per share were € 0.45, compared with € 0.18 for the first nine months of 2009.

The order position

In the e-commerce/trade segment and parts of the IT solutions segment, the majority of incoming orders are converted to sales within two weeks because of our large delivery capacity. Consequently, the reporting date figures on their own do not give a true picture of our order situation in this area of business, which is why they are not published.

In the IT solutions segment, orders are often given over long periods. At present, the volume of orders is rising slightly.

Because of the stable services business – which now accounts for about two thirds of the gross profits (total output less material costs and services rendered) – as well as the healthy condition of the balance sheet, the management feels the Group is in a strong position within the IT sector.

Explanations of individual items on the income statement

Further details on items in the income statement are given in the Notes to the consolidated income statement.

b) Financial and assets position

Objectives of financial management

The core objective of the financial management of the CANCOM Group is to safeguard its liquidity at all times, to ensure that day-to-day business activities can be continued. In addition, the Group aims to achieve optimum profitability as well as a high credit status to ensure favourable refinancing rates.

Notes on the capital structure

On the assets side of the consolidated balance sheet, there was a 2.7 percent decrease in current assets between 31 December 2009 and 30 September 2010, from € 93.2 million to € 90.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents are down from € 25.8 million to € 6.7 million owing to seasonal effects. Inventories are up 21.4 percent, from € 12.6 million to € 15.3 million, mainly owing to growth and acquisitions. Trade accounts receivable were also up, from € 47.2 million to € 61.6 million.

Non-current assets are up 18.2 percent, from € 41.7 million at 31 December 2009 to € 49.3 million at 30 September 2010. Property, plant and equipment increased by € 6.5 million to € 8.6 million as a result of investments. Intangible assets are up from € 6.7 million to € 10.3 million. Financial assets overall were up from € 0.2 million to a total of € 3.0 million, mainly as a result of the equity investment in Plaut Ak-tiengesellschaft, in which the Group now holds an interest of more than 20 percent. The company is shown under financial assets accounted for using the equity method.

On the liabilities side of the balance sheet, current liabilities are only slightly up on the figure at 31 December 2009, from € 67.5 million to € 68.1 million.

Non-current liabilities, which comprises liabilities with a residual term of at least one year, are up from € 23.5 million to € 25.0 million.

The balance sheet total was up to € 140.0 million as at 30 September 2010, com-pared with € 134.9 million at 31 December 2009.

The nominal equity capital has been increased from € 43.9 million to € 46.9 million since the start of the year, mainly through transfers to net profits. Overall, this resulted in an improved equity ratio of 33.5 percent at 30 September 2010 compared with 31 December 2009.

Further details of the individual balance sheet items can be found in the Notes to the consolidated balance sheet.

Notes to the statement of cash flows

The cash flow from ordinary activities is typically highly negative during the course of the year, and there was a negative cash flow of € 6.2 million as at 30 September 2010 (2009: negative cash flow of € 7.3 million). The change in comparison with the same date in 2009 was influenced by various factors.

These include the expansion of business activities, the increase in trade accounts receivable, and the change in inventories following company takeovers, as well as replenishment of stocks to take advantage of favourable purchase conditions. The other factor was a reduction in trade accounts payable.

The negative cash flow from investing activities increased from a negative cash flow of € 3.1 million to a negative cash flow of € 12.0 million. The reasons for this were the payment of the purchase price for the acquisition of the Bürotex com-panies and the acquisition of an equity investment in Plaut Aktiengesellschaft. On top of this, the available cash was invested in fixed assets, resulting in a reduction in future financing and lease payments.

The negative cash flow from financing activities rose from € 0.8 million compared with € 0.9 million, mainly as a result of the dividend payment.

Overall, this results in cash and cash equivalents of € 6.7 million, compared with € 7.7 million in 2009.

7. Forecast

After the tough recession during the winter of 2008/2009, the German economy shifted to the fast lane in the spring of 2010. The second quarter of the year brought Germany its strongest quarterly growth since the reunification of the country 20 years ago, with GDP 2.2 percent higher than in the previous quarter. And all the signs indicate that this is not a short-lived economic mood swing, but a stable up-ward trend. Even at the somewhat more sedate pace that the German economy has settled into during the second half of the year, it should grow strongly overall.

The federal government expects real growth of 3.4 percent in the German economy in 2010, while for 2011 it expects continued significant growth of 1.8 to 2.0 percent averaged over the year.

According to the latest market figures from the German Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media, BITKOM, the experts expect growth of about 2.7 percent in the western European IT market in 2010, after shrinkage of 6.5 percent in 2009.

They forecast 1.4 percent growth in the IT services segment following a decline of 4.2 percent in 2009, while they expect the software and hardware segments to grow by 2.4 percent and 5.1 percent respectively, after a decline of 4.9 percent and 11.7 percent respectively in 2009.

Trend in the German IT sector in 2011*

(real change in comparison to 2009 as a percentage)

This positive development will give particular impetus to our business as a provider of integrated high-tech solutions. CANCOM will profit especially from the cloud computing trend.

Cloud computing is the dynamic provisioning, management and billing of IT resources via a network, for example the internet or a company's internal network. This enables great savings to be made on local resources.

Sector experts and market research companies forecast huge global growth in the market for cloud computing over the next few years. In Germany alone, average annual growth rates of almost 50 percent are expected.

Large companies in particular will develop their own cloud environments, or private clouds. Expenditure on these will rise from the current € 400 million to € 2.6 billion in 2015, according to the latest forecasts by Experton (research, advis-ory and consulting company for large and mid-sized organisations) and the German Federal Association for Information, Technology, Telecommunications and New Media, BITKOM.

CANCOM is very well positioned in the private cloud environment with its own field-tested solution for small and medium-sized companies, the CANCOM AHP private cloud.

The U.S. market research company Forrester sees huge potential for growth in the e-commerce segment for the next two years, with annual growth rates of 7 percent, while it expects the consumer electronics segment to grow by as much as 11 percent. BITKOM's assessment is in line with Forrester's.

CANCOM geared its business policy to these future IT trends at an early stage and structured and concentrated the Group's sales and services activities consistently around proven high-profit and high-growth market segments such as IT solutions, consulting and managed services.

CANCOM has expanded its market presence as well as improving its customer proximity in the German-speaking countries, and is represented all over Germany and Austria by its many service and consulting locations.

The improvement and streamlining of logistics processes as well as the concentration of administrative tasks at the company's head office should result in major cost savings. By means of cross selling, synergies and best practices, we are reducing costs and pooling our resources, enabling CANCOM to operate even more competitively in the future. The resulting benefits will bring added value to CANCOM and to its customers and business partners.

Against the background of the improved economic outlook for 2010 and 2011, and in view of CANCOM's good position in the promising cloud computing market, the Executive Board expects further increases in sales revenues and profits, with a con-tinuation of the Company's good financial position. For the financial year 2010 as a whole, we expect consolidated sales revenues of € 525 million and consolidated EBITDA of at least € 15.0 million.

The Executive Board advises that actual results may deviate significantly from expectations.

A. The principles adopted for the consolidated financial statements 1. General information

The consolidated financial statements of CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft and its subsidiaries ("the CANCOM Group" or "the Group") for the financial year 2009 were drawn up according to the International Financial Reporting Standards or the International Accounting Standards (IFRS/IAS).

2. Reporting entity – scope of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft and all subsidiaries in which CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft has either a direct or an indirect majority shareholding, or in which it holds the majority of the voting rights. These subsidiaries are fully consolidated.

The acquisition is documented by a contract of sale drawn up by notary Dr Thomas Braun under deed no. B1937/2009, dated 21/22 December 2009.

The provisional price is € 3,541,852, of which € 2,500,000 was paid on 5 January 2010. The price is still subject to change.

The company is included in the consolidated financial statements from 1 January 2010.

The company sells and distributes computer, telecommunications, IT and document management systems, as well as providing related services including consultancy, maintenance, repairs, support and project management.

The company has shares in BT IT-Solutions GmbH, Nürtingen, Germany (100 percent) and live Netzwerk & Computer GmbH, Munich, Germany (75.0 percent).

3. Accounting and valuation policies

The interim consolidated financial report is compiled using basically the same accounting and valuation methods as those used for the consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2009.

However, the amendment to IFRS 3 Business Combinations was not applicable in the financial year 2009, so this interim report is the first in which it is applied. The acquisition method is applied in accounting for all business combinations. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured and shown in the balance sheet at their acquisitiondate fair values. Incidental costs in relation to the acquisition are recorded as expenses at the date on which they were incurred.

B. Notes to the consolidated balance sheet

1. Other current financial assets

This item includes bonuses due from suppliers (€ 1,413k), creditors with a debit balance (€563k), receivables from employees (€ 525k), a claim to the payment of a purchase price (€ 466k), claims in respect of loans (€ 462k), marketing revenue (€ 418k), receivables due from suppliers for returned goods (€ 158k), property, plant and equipment classified as held for sale (€ 55k) and receivables from former shareholders (€ 47k).

2. Prepaid expenses, deferred charges and other current assets

This item mainly consists of other current assets such as tax refunds (€ 673k), compensation damages (€ 397k), accounts receivable from insurance companies (€ 115k) and receivables from the German Federal Employment Agency (€ 43k).

The prepaid expenses and deferred charges (€ 741k) also include deferred insurance premiums.

3. Financial assets accounted for using the equity method

In the first half of 2010, CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft acquired shares in Plaut Aktiengesellschaft. As at 30 September 2010, CANCOM held a 20.87 percent interest. The investment in Plaut Aktiengesellschaft is reported as an associated company under financial assets accounted for using the equity method, as CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft holds more than 20 percent of the voting rights and therefore exercises a significant influence on Plaut Aktiengesellschaft.

4. Deferred tax assets

The deferred tax assets are as follows:

Deferred tax resulting form Temporary Tax loss
differences carryforward
€'000 €'000
SAs at 1 January 2010 338 2,224
Inflow from capitalisation -328
Tax expenditure from profit and loss calculation 20 -881
As at 30 September 2010 358 1,015

As at 30 September 2010, the CANCOM Group had corporation tax loss carryovers of € 13.3 million and trade tax loss carryovers of € 10.5 million. The unused corporation tax losses for which no deferred tax claim was recognised in the balance sheet amounted to € 9.3 million, and the trade tax loss carryovers for which no deferred tax claim was recognised amounted to € 8.1 million.

The deferred taxes from temporary differences are the result of differences in goodwill (€ 234k), other provisions (€ 88k) and intangible assets (€ 36k).

5. Other current financial liabilities

This item includes debtors with a credit balance (€ 511k), liabilities to former shareholders of a subsidiary (€ 427k), outstanding bills of charge (€ 365k), purchase price liabilities (€ 324k) and liabilities to the Supervisory Board (€ 17k).

6. Other provisions

Provisions mainly includes the price of shares in affiliated companies (€ 1,716k), guarantees and warranties (€ 1,153k), severance payments and salaries (€ 1,020k), additional leasing costs (€ 313k), provisions for financial statement costs (€196k) and contingent risks (€ 72k).

The total provisions include long-term provisions of € 1,356k, which are disclosed under other non-current liabilities. They are mainly a provision for guarantees and warranties (€ 555k), a provision for severance payments which are legally mandatory in Austria (€ 347k), provisions for part-time employment prior to retirement (€ 187k), anniversaries (€ 138k) and additional leasing costs (€ 129k).

7. Other current liabilities

Other current liabilities mainly include wages and salaries (€ 3.415k), sales tax (€ 3.078k), holiday and overtime entitlements (€ 2.093k), bonus payments to Board members and employees (€ 1.961k), tax on wages and salaries and church tax (€ 1,711k), trade association payments (€ 289k), social security contributions (€ 152k) and compensation levy for non-employment of the severely handicapped (€ 85k).

8. Deferred tax liabilities

€'000
As at 1 January 2010 1,967
Addition from deferred tax liabilities 743
Profit and loss account - tax expenses 26
As at 30 September 2010 2,736

The deferred tax liabilities arise from deviations from the tax balance sheets. They are the result of the revaluation of intangible assets (€ 2,670k), orders in process (€ 27k), capital from profit-participation rights and subordinated loans (€ 19k), property, plant and equipment (€ 10k) and other provisions (€ 10k).

They are recognised at an individual tax rate of between 25 percent (for the Austrian subsidiary) and 32.98 percent.

9. Equity capital

Share capital

The Company's share capital at 30 September 2010 was € 10,390,751, divided into 10,390,751 notional no-par-value shares.

Purchase of the Company's own shares

The Company bought back 23,010 of its own shares during the first half of 2010. As at 30 September 2010, the Company's holding of its own shares was 74,329 (nominally valued at € 74,329) with a book value of € 258,592.31.

Change of the number of shares outstanding:

C. Notes to the consolidated income statement

1. Segment information (see page 16 – 17)

For a description of the segments subject to mandatory reporting, please see page 69 of CANCOM's annual report for 2009.

The subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements for the first time in this consolidated interim financial report are allocated to the IT solutions segment.

Reconciliation

Reconciliation shows items not directly connected with the operating segments and the other companies. They include sales within the segments, and the income tax expense.

The income tax expense is not a component of the profits of the operating segments. Since the tax expense is allocated to the parent company where the parent company is the taxable entity, the allocation of the income tax does not exactly correspond to the structure of the segments.
