Preface – Key figures

Dear shareholders,

The impressive performance of the CANCOM share during the past few weeks and months mirrors the positive development of the Group's business in the first half of the year. We are delighted to be able to report our best half-year results in the history of the company, with new records set for growth in both sales revenues and profits.

Since the start of the year there has been a noticeable upturn in the economy and in

companies' appetite for investment, which gave our incoming orders a major boost. We see further potential for growth arising from the Group's strategic redirection and in the focus of the corporate portfolio on the cloud computing megatrend. We aim to achieve higher profit margins in the medium-term by consistently directing our sales and service activities towards proven highprofit and high-growth market segments such as IT solutions, consulting and managed services. With our CANCOM AHP Private Cloud, we are the best positioned integrated systems provider in Germany in the area of cloud computing.

We are equally optimistic about the second half of the current financial year, and the most recent large-scale orders we have received show that our positive assessment is justified. To safeguard what we have achieved so far and to promote our future growth, we have also attracted new investors, thus broadening CANCOM's shareholder base to include more shareholders outside Germany.

We are grateful for your confidence and hope you will continue to support us. The numerous analyst recommendations show that CANCOM is still an attractive investment.

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

In the first half of 2010, the CANCOM Group's consolidated sales revenues rose by 17.0 percent to € 239.2 million, compared with € 204.5 million. Consolidated gross profits grew by 26.3 percent year-on-year, from € 56.2 million to € 71.0 million, and the gross profit margin was up from 27.5 percent in the second quarter of 2009 to 29.7 percent in the second quarter of

  1. Consolidated EBITDA was up 96.6 percent year-on-year, at € 5.7 million compared with € 2.9 million, giving an EBITDA margin of 2.4 percent. Consolidated EBIT rose by 131.3 percent to € 3.7 million, compared with € 1.6 million in the second quarter of 2009. Overall, CANCOM made a net income of € 2.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, com-pared with € 0.9 million in the same quarter of 2009, resulting in earnings per share of € 0.20 compared with € 0.09 in the first half of 2009.

Significant events and investments

CANCOM Bürotex GmbH has acquired the remaining 25.0 percent of the shares of Live Netzwerk und Computer GmbH, increasing its shareholding to 100 percent. The acquisition is documented in a contract dated on 7 May 2010. On the same date, Live Netzwerk und Computer GmbH and CANCOM Bürotex IT solutions GmbH were merged into CANCOM Bürotex GmbH with effect from 1 January 2010.

During the first half of 2010, CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft acquired shares in Plaut Aktiengesellschaft. The equity investment in Plaut Aktiengesell-schaft is reported as an associated company under financial assets accounted for us-ing the equity method, as CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft holds more than 20 percent of the voting rights (20.507 percent), and thus exercises a significant influence on the company.

Employees

As at 3 June 2010 the Group employed 1,984 people.

The employees worked in the following areas (as at 30 June 2010):

Professional services: 1,301
Sales and distribution: 350
Marketing and product services: 31
Purchasing, logistics and order processing: 134

Total 50,149 40,862

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

a) Earnings position

There was a considerable year-on-year increase in sales revenues in the first six months of 2010. The consolidated sales revenues of the CANCOM Group rose by 17.0 percent year on year, from € 204.5 million to € 239.2 million. The significant growth is partly owing to the improved general economic conditions, but also to the inclusion of the recently acquired CANCOM Bürotex and CANCOM SCC in the consolidated financial statements.

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 compli-ance with IFRS 5.

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

In Germany, the sales revenues for the first six months of 2010 were up 17.3 percent year on year, from € 187.4 million to € 219.9 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 12.3 percent, from € 17.1 million to € 19.2 million.

In the e-commerce/trade segment, sales revenues were up 2.8 percent, from € 105.5 million to € 108.5 million. In the IT solutions segment they were up 32.0 percent, from € 99.0 million to € 130.7 million.

The consolidated gross profit for the first six months of 2010 was up 26.3 percent year on year, from € 56.2 million to € 71.0 million.

The gross profit margin rose from 27.5 percent to 29.7 percent, mainly as a result of the 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 was up 96.6 percent on the same period in 2009, at € 5.7 million compared with € 2.9 million.

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

Consolidated EBIT amounts to € 3.7 million, as compared with € 1.6 million in the first half of 2009, equivalent to a growth of 131.3 percent.

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

The net income for the first six months of 2010 amounted to € 2.1 million, in comparison with € 0.9 million in 2009. As a result, earnings per share were € 0.20, compared with € 0.09 for the first six 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 7.2 percent decrease in current assets between 31 December 2009 and 30 June 2010, from € 93.2 million to € 86.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents are down from € 25.8 million to € 5.3 million owing to seasonal effects. Inventories are up 52.3 percent, from € 12.6 million to € 19.2 million, mainly owing to growth and ac-quisitions. Trade accounts receivable were also up, from € 47.2 million to € 54.6 million.

Non-current assets are up 18.9 percent, from € 41.7 million at 31 December 2009 to € 49.6 million at 30 June 2010. 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 € 2.8 million, mainly as a result of the equity investment in Plaut Aktiengesellschaft, 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, there has been a 1.2 percent reduction in current liabilities from € 67.5 million to € 66.7 million. This is mainly owing to a fall in trade accounts payable from € 47.9 million to € 42.3.

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 € 136.1 million as at 30 June 2010, compared with € 134.9 million at 31 December 2009.

The nominal equity capital has been increased from € 43.9 million to € 44.3 million since the start of the year, mainly through transfers to net profits. Overall, this resulted in an constant equity ratio of 32.5 percent at 30 June 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 € 11.5 million as at 30 June 2010. 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 re-ceivable, and the change in inventories following company takeovers, as well as re-plenishment 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 € 0.4 million to a negative cash flow of € 10.5 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 cash flow from financing activities was up from € -0.9 million to € 1.4 million.

Overall, this gave rise to cash and cash equivalents of € 5.3 million, compared with € 7.8 million in 2009.

6. Opportunities report

7. Forecast

The German economy is gathering pace again. According to government estimates, gross domestic product grew considerably more strongly in the second quarter of this year than in the first quarter, even exceeding the government's own forecasts. From April to June the growth rate was more than 1.5 percent, compared with the government's forecast of 0.9 percent growth over this period. Industry is profiting from both the impetus from foreign trade and the recovery in domestic investment activity.

The German government has up to now been forecasting growth of 1.4 percent for the year as a whole, but if the economic recovery so far is any indication of the fu-ture trend, this figure could turn out somewhat higher than expected.

Forecasts for economic growth in 2010 range between 4.5 percent (global) and 2.0 percent (Germany). (Source: Deutsche Bank Economic Research Bureau, Frank-furt/Main, Germany, 15 July 2010.)

According to the latest market figures from the German Federal Association for In-formation Technology, Telecommunications and New Media, BITKOM, the ex-perts expect growth of about 1.4 percent in the western European IT market in 2010, after shrinkage of 5.4 percent in 2009.

They forecast 2.2 percent growth in the IT services segment following a decline of 2.5 percent in 2009, while they expect the software and hardware segments to grow by 0.9 percent and 0.2 percent respectively, after a decline of 5.2 percent and 10.6 percent respectively in 2009.

Trend in the German IT sector in 2010*

(real change in comparison to 2009 as a percentage) 5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 1.4 -2 IT market as a whole 0.2 Hardware 0.9 Software 2.2 IT services

According to a study by the market research company IDC, global IT sales are set to grow by 3.8 percent by the end of the year 2010. Growth is expected to come from the hardware segment in particular, where turnover could rise by 6.4 percent. In the study, analysts monitored capital expenditure on network technology, server systems and IT services in companies of all sizes since the start of the year.

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 – an intranet or private cloud. This enables great savings to be made on local re-sources.

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 40 percent are expected.

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.

In view of the acquisitions and the positive business development as well as the improved economic conditions in 2010 and 2011, the Executive Board generally ex-pects a future growth in sales revenues and result with a continued positive financial situation. CANCOM's plans are consolidated sales revenues of € 500 million (fi-nancial year 2010) and € 530 million (financial year 2011), consolidated EBITDA of € 11.6 million (financial year 2010) and € 13.1 million (financial year 2011) and earnings per share up to at least € 0.60 in 2010 and € 0.70 in 2011.

From the current point of view, the company's guidance for the financial year 2010, especially for EBITDA, may even be exceeded in consideration of the improved economic outlook and the company's strong positioning in the high-potential cloud computing market.

The Executive Board advises that actual results may deviate significantly from ex-pectations.

8. Responsibility statement by the management

To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for interim financial reporting, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group, and the interim management report of the Group includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group, together with a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the Group for the remaining months of the financial year.

NOTES

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).

The interim consolidated financial statements of the CANCOM Group are drawn up and published in euro.

This interim consolidated financial report is condensed and was drawn up in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. It should be read in conjunction with the IFRScompliant consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2009, which can be downloaded from www.cancom.de.

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.

In December 2009, CANCOM IT Systeme Aktiengesellschaft purchased all the shares of CANCOM Bürotex GmbH (formerly BT IT-Systemhaus GmbH), nominally valued at € 120,000. 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 (€ 1,296k), claims in respect of loans (€ 512k), creditors with a debit balance (€ 447k), a claim to the payment of a purchase price (€ 419k), receivables from employees (€ 303k), marketing revenue (€ 168k), receivables due from suppliers for returned goods (€ 112k), 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 (€ 570k), compensation damages (€ 300k), receivables from the German Federal Employment Agency (€ 113k) and accounts receivable from insurance companies (€ 108k).

The prepaid expenses and deferred charges (€ 1,050k) 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 June 2010, CANCOM held a 20.507 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 from Temporary Tax loss
differences carryforward
€'000 €'000
As at 1 January 2010 338 2,224
Inflow from capitalisation 101
Tax expenditure from profit and loss calculation -26 -349
As at 30 June 2010 312 1,976

As at 3 June 2010, the CANCOM Group had corporation tax loss carryovers of € 13.8 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 € 6.2 million, and the trade tax loss carryovers for which no deferred tax claim was recognised amounted to € 5.6 million.

The deferred taxes from temporary differences are the result of differences in goodwill (€ 199k), other provisions (€ 92k) and intangible assets (€ 21k).

5. Other current financial liabilities

This item includes outstanding bills of charge (€ 524k), debtors with a credit balance (€ 476k), purchase price liabilities (€ 423k), and liabilities to former shareholders of a subsidiary (€ 422k).

6. Other provisions

Provisions mainly includes the price of shares in affiliated companies (€ 1,565k), guarantees and warranties (€ 1,172k), severance payments and salaries (€ 817k), additional leasing costs (€ 313k), provisions for financial statement costs (€149k) and contingent risks (€ 125k).

The total provisions include long-term provisions of € 1,230k, which are disclosed under other non-current liabilities.

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.
