Strategy update

The NedSense strategy aims for growth, particularly of the LOFT products, and topline efficiency throughout the organization. NedSense continues to perform competitively across the globe and in its various markets. Investments have stabilized and the company's financial situation was reinforced by the issue of ordinary shares in June 2013 and participation of a group of investors represented by Nantahala Capital Management. Although the LOFT division reported a decrease in sales for the first half of 2013, LOFT has been able to fully deliver scheduled projects based on agreements signed with major retailers. Over 2013, NedSense saw its markets recovering slowly from the effects of the economic downturn. NedGraphics has continued to gain market share, but gross margin fell by almost 9% mainly due to fewer new software sales. However LOFT has increased its gross margin by over 70%, partly as a result of a rise in software and maintenance sales. Along with the discontinuation of Dynamics Perspective, NedSense achieved an overall gross margin 5% below the gross margin for 2012, while operating costs dropped by 2% compared to 2012. Sales in the second half of 2013 were strong for both NedGraphics and LOFT, reinforcing not only the company's financial situation but also its market leading position. The engagement with Crate and Barrel, announced and implemented in 2012, sparked interest in other markets which resulted in a number of new deployments of LOFT products following the Crate and Barrel roll out. Not only does NedSense enjoy a clear vision and mission that appeals to investors, its products have now proven their value to the markets.

With the financial structure of the company having strengthened significantly over 2013, NedSense is now better positioned for further growth. Although additional financing may be necessary should profitability not recover as planned or should contingency plans have insufficient impact

Financial results 2013

NedSense concluded 2013 with a net loss of € 1.70 million (2012: € 1.42 million loss). The lower result was mainly due to a decrease in net revenue of € 0.46 million due to disappointing sales for NedGraphics, net of a decrease in operating costs (€ 0.24 million). The operating result for 2013 amounted to € 1.20 million negative (2012: € 0.98 million negative).

Activities include the CAD CAM activities of NedGraphics, and the LOFT development of software that allows 3-dimensional reproduction in a personal environment. The net revenue of NedGraphics decreased by 8.3% to € 8.09 million (2012: 8.82 million). Operating profit decreased to € 0.71 million from € 1.17 million in 2012. LOFT net revenue increased from € 0.56 million in 2012 to € 0.82 million in 2013, an increase of 48.1%. Operating result decreased to a loss of € 0.89 million (2012: € 0.78 million loss) as LOFT continues to further develop its products. The discontinued activities of Dynamics Perspective resulted in a net loss of € 0.01 million in 2013 (2012: € 0.15 million loss).

Cash flow, investments, financing

The operational cash flow in 2013 amounted to € 0.25 million positive (2012: € 0.70 million positive). The decrease was mainly due to higher trade receivables. The cash flow from investments was € 2.64 million negative (2012: € 2.59 million negative). The cash flow from financing amounted to € 2.51 million positive (2012: € 1.61 million positive) as a result of issuing shares and receipt of a government grant. The total change in cash and cash equivalents in 2013 amounted to € 0.11 million positive (2012: € 0.29 million negative).

Balance sheet

From 31 December 2012, non-current assets increased from € 11.22 million to € 11.69 million. The increase is mainly due to the capitalization of developed software for the LOFT product line. Due to the negative results in recent years, NedSense has losses that may be carried forward. These tax assets are not capitalized in the balance sheet as management is currently not certain that sufficient taxable profits will be made in the near future to realize the value of these tax assets.

Shareholders' equity increased from € 5.68 million as of 31 December 2012 to € 6.29 million as of 31 December 2013. This € 0.61 million increase was mainly caused by the issuing of shares net of the negative result. As a result, solvency increased to 36.8% per 31 December 2013 from 35.7% per 31 December 2012.

The number of outstanding ordinary shares, with a nominal value of € 0.10 each, was 28,596,495 as of 31 December 2013. Please see the accompanying financial statements and the notes to those statements for additional information.

Q1 2014 trading update

In the first quarter, the company has performed in line with expectations. The NedGraphics division once again added a number of big names to its client list. The collection of maintenance fees is also proceeding as expected.

The LOFT division has successfully started new client's projects at Havertys, Kravet, DFS and Thonet. The latter will make use of LOFT4Brands, a new platform which offers the LOFT technology 'software as a service' (SaaS). The platform was officially launched at the IMM event in Cologne (Germany). In the first quarter a completely new version of LOFT Mobile was released.

The LOFT division also performed a thorough market exploration in the US Real Estate market. The market offers promising opportunities applying the current LOFT core system and a number of enhancements.

In 2014, NedSense will continue its growth strategy. Crucial for this growth is the market adoption of the LOFT technology. The deployment of a flexible organization together with business partners will enhance the scalability which will enable NedSense to better balance its revenues and expenses and take contingency measures when necessary.
