Preface – Key figures

Dear Shareholders,

With the figures for the first quarter of 2010, we have managed to build on the success of the past financial year. The upward trend during the fourth quarter of 2009 continued in the first quarter of 2010, allowing us to achieve record sales revenues and especially profits.

The first quarter was dominated by the integration of CANCOM Bürotex and CANCOM

SCC, the companies acquired in December 2009. We also focused on continuing our policy of rigorous cost management, which has left us with a cushion of available cash to continue our active participation in the market consolidation process, and to spur our growth by means of acquisitions.

According to the latest industry barometer of the German Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media, BITKOM, the IT industry is confident about the business prospects for 2010. This positive sentiment is in line with our own outlook. We also notice a significant improvement in our customers' appetite for investment. The current IT industry growth segments of cloud computing, outsourcing and managed services, in which we are very well placed, will be particularly strong drivers of growth in

the current financial year.

We would like to thank you, our shareholders, for your confidence in us and trust that you will continue to give us your support.

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 systems integrator. As a provider of integrated services, its central focus is now on providing IT services in addition to selling hardware and software from prestigious manufacturers. Its IT services range includes design and integration of IT systems, as well as system 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 services 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 virtualisation solutions, managed services, online technologies, systems development and process optimisation.

Overview of the CANCOM Group's business performance

The CANCOM Group increased its consolidated revenue by 8.4 percent to € 114.6 million, as compared with € 105.7 million in the first quarter of 2009. Consolidated gross profits rose 23.3 percent year-on-year, from € 29.2 million to € 36.0. The gross profit margin rose from 27.6 percent to 31.4 percent. The consolidated EBITDA rose by 82.4 percent, from € 1.7 million to € 3.1 million. The consolidated EBIT doubled from € 1.1 million in the first three months of 2009 to € 2.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. A net income for the first three months of 2010 of € 1.4 million compared with € 0.5 million in the first quarter of 2009 resulted in earnings per share of € 0.13 after € 0.05 in 2009.

Significant events and investments

On 11 February 2010, CANCOM SYSDAT GmbH was merged into CANCOM IT Solutions GmbH, Jettingen-Scheppach, Germany, with retroactive effect from 1 January 2010. The CANCOM Group's solutions business will be concentrated in the new unit, which will operate under the name of CANCOM IT Solutions GmbH.

On 17 March 2010, CANCOM IT Systeme AG acquired a 17.73 percent equity investment in Plaut Aktiengesellschaft, based in Vienna, Austria. A listed company, Plaut is a management and IT consultancy company and develops innovative business solutions for controlling, logistics, IT governance and SAP consultancy and services. The company has more than 20 years' experience working with SAP and has worked on more than 1,000 projects, making it one of the most experienced and preferred SAP partners.

The employees worked in the following areas (as at 31 March 2010):

1,286

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 three months of 2010. The consolidated sales revenues of the CANCOM Group rose by 8.4 percent year on year, from € 105.7 million to € 114.6 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 quarter of 2009 have been necessary to take into account businesses that were classified as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2009 in compliance with IFRS 5.

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

In Germany, the sales revenues for the first three months of 2010 were up 9.2 percent year on year, from € 96.9 million to € 105.8 million. This growth is partly owing to the acquisition of CANCOM Bürotex and CANCOM SCC.

In the international business, sales revenues stayed with € 8.8 million at the previous year's level.

In the e-commerce/trade segment, sales revenues were down 10.9 percent, from € 57.1 million to € 50.9 million. In the IT solutions segment they were up 30.9 percent, from € 48.6 million to € 63.6 million.

The consolidated gross profit for the first three months of 2010 was up 23.3 percent year on year, from € 29.2 million to € 36.0 million. The gross profit margin rose from 27.6 percent to 31.4 percent.

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

Consolidated EBITDA was up 82.4 percent on the same period in 2009, at € 3.1 million compared with € 1.7 million.

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

Consolidated EBIT doubled in comparison with the first quarter of 2009, from € 1.1 million to € 2.2 million.

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

The net income for the first three months of 2010 amounted to € 1.4 million, in comparison with € 0.5 million in 2009. As a result, earnings per share were € 0.13, compared with € 0.05 for the first three 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 16 percent decrease in current assets between 31 December 2009 and 31 March 2010, from € 93.2 million to € 78.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents are down from € 25.8 million to € 4.2 million owing to seasonal effects. Inventories are up 49.2 percent, from € 12.6 million to € 18.8 million, mainly owing to growth and acquisitions.

Non-current assets are up 16.5 percent, from € 41.7 million at 31 December 2009 to € 48.6 million at 31 March 2010. Intangible assets are up from € 6.7 million to € 10.2 million, and financial assets are up from € 0.2 million to € 2.4 million as a result of the equity investment in Plaut Aktiengesellschaft.

On the liabilities side of the balance sheet, there has been a 16.7 percent reduction in current liabilities from € 67.5 million to € 56.2 million. This is mainly owing to a fall in trade accounts payable from € 47.9 million to € 36.3 million.

Non-current liabilities, which comprises liabilities with a residual term of at least one year, are up from € 23.5 million to € 25.5 million.

The balance sheet total has fallen to € 126.9 million as at 31 March 2010, compared with € 134.9 million at 31 December 2009.

The nominal equity capital has been increased from € 43.9 million to € 45.2 million since the start of the year, mainly through transfers to net profits. Overall, this resulted in an equity ratio of 35.6 percent at 31 March 2010 compared with 32.5 percent at 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 changes in of cash flow

The cash flow from ordinary activities is typically highly negative during the course of the year, and there was a negative cash flow of € 14.9 million as at 31 March 2010. The change in comparison with the same date in 2009 was influenced by various factors. One of these was the expansion of business activities and an increase in inventories as a result of company takeovers and replenishment 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 € 0.3 million to a negative cash flow of € 8.1 million. The reasons for this were the payment of the purchase price for the acquisition of the Bürotex companies 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 € 0.7 million to € 1.4 million.

Overall, this gave rise to cash and cash equivalents of € 4.2 million, compared with € 10.0 million in 2009.

7. Forecast

Germany was particularly badly affected by the economic crisis during the past year because of its strong international links. Because of the major slump, particularly in exports, the real gross domestic product (GDP) fell by 5 percent overall in 2009, although by the fourth quarter of the year it had at least stabilised at 0 percent*. The basic trend in the German economy continues to be upward. From springtime, it is expected that there will be a strong impact on the economy from companies catching up on investment, but also a continuation of the economic recovery process. Forecasts for economic growth in 2010 range between 4.3 percent (global) and 2.0 percent (Germany). (Source: Deutsche Bank Economic Research Bureau, Frankfurt/Main, Germany, 19 April 2010.)

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 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)

The reasons for the growth forecast for the IT services segment, according to IDC, are increased cost-consciousness among companies and the improved general economic outlook for the current year. Once confidence in the economic recovery becomes established, companies will conclude more medium and long-term outsourcing contracts again.

The U.S. market research company Forrester sees huge potential for growth in the ecommerce 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 trends at an early stage and designed its sales and services structure around them.

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 expects a future growth in sales revenues and result with a continued positive financial situation. CANCOM's plans are consolidated sales revenues of € 500 million (financial 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.

The Executive Board advises that the actual results may differ significantly from the expectations about future developments. Forecasting is made considerably more complicated by the uncertain economic climate.

Notes to the consolidated accounts for the quarter ended 31 March 2010

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 IFRS-compliant 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).

The company acquisition, and the newly valued assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in a negative difference of € 662k as well as intangible assets of € 2,443k. The negative difference was recognised in the income statement and shown under other operating income.

The consolidated net income includes the profit/loss of CANCOM Bürotex GmbH amount to € -95k since acquisition date.

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 (€ 1,642k), receivables due from suppliers for returned goods (€ 784k), a claim to the payment of a purchase price (€ 393k), receivables from employees (€ 323k), creditors with a debit balance (€ 252k), marketing revenue (€ 207k), claims in respect of loans (€ 158k), property, plant and equipment classified as held for sale (€ 61k) 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 a receivable arising from a copyright levy (€ 1,858k), tax refunds (€ 1,426k), accounts receivable from insurance companies (€ 274k), compensation damages (€ 267k) and receivables from the German Federal Employment Agency (€ 109k).

As at 31 March 2010, the CANCOM Group had corporation tax loss carryovers of € 14.9 million and trade tax loss carryovers of € 11.3 million. The unused corporation tax losses for which no deferred tax claim was recognised in the balance sheet amounted to € 6.3 million, and the trade tax loss carryovers for which no deferred tax claim was recognised amounted to € 5.7 million.

The deferred taxes from temporary differences are the result of differences in goodwill (€ 173k), other provisions (€ 96k) and intangible assets (€ 50k).

4. Other current financial liabilities

Addition from deferred tax liabilities 738
Profit and loss account - tax expenses -60

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

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.
