NedSense enterprises n.v. Condensed consolidated Interim financial statements

NedSense enterprises n.v.

Half-year Report 2013 (unaudited)

Report of the Board of Directors

First half of 2013

This report covers the business activity and financial results of NedSense enterprises n.v. (the 'Company' or 'NedSense') for the half-year ended 30 June 2013.

Growth Strategy

The last 4 years, NedSense has laid the foundation for its growth strategy. The issue of ordinary shares as approved by the shareholders on the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of June 11th 2013, has improved the financial structure of the Company significantly. The capital strengthening was a major milestone in the exploration of strategic options. As part of the investigation announced in June 2012 into the strategic options of the Company, the Board of Directors held talks with several parties in the course of 2012 and 2013. Based on the agreed strategic framework with the Supervisory Board all options and proposals of the parties have been assessed. The investment by a group of investors represented by Nantahala Capital Management fits well in this context, whereby in particular the contribution of business partners linked to the group of investors will be of strategic importance for the NedSense Loft division. NedSense will continue the strategic orientation with a particular focus on further partnerships for the Loft division.

After the successful launch of its highly innovative 3D customer experience technology LOFT, NedSense has continued its focus on the development of the LOFT suite of products. In the first half of 2013 NedSense was able to fully deliver scheduled projects based on the agreements which were signed with Carpet Court, Trendhopper and Crate and Barrel. The latter released a new iPad app of the 3D Home Designer platform it has been using for over 6 months (in-store and online). As a result of the implementation of LOFT, Crate and Barrel managed to triple its average order size. The launch of iPad app allows their omni-channel customer to experience Crate and Barrel 3D merchandise anywhere. In Q2, the Loft division contracted a few early adopters for its LOFT4Brands program, a cloud based and hosted solution that allows brands to showcase their products in combination with the products of others, with the 3D user experience LOFT@Web offers. The brands that use LOFT4Brands get an outsourced solution that offers benefits in e-commerce, social media and Business Intelligence to create an additional sales channel.

NedSenses' CAD-CAM division NedGraphics is operating in turbulent market circumstances as the economical and political conditions are still negatively influencing the Fashion and Textile industry. Nevertheless, NedGraphics continued to gain market share with the acquisition of a number of large clients and posted a profit before tax of €473 thousand in the traditionally slower first half of the year as compared to the second. NedGraphics is witnessing fragile market circumstances in traditionally strong textile countries such as Egypt, Italy and Portugal, while mature regions, including the US show a continued growth. The foundation of NedGraphics' strategy is to continue to act lean and to balance costs while remaining innovative.

As stated earlier this year, NedSense decided to discontinue the activities of the Dynamics Perspective (DPI) division as of June 30st 2013. The division provided integrated ERP and product life cycle solutions for the textile & apparel industry. After carefully weighing all options and given the current economic conditions, NedSense concluded that continuing the DPI activities was no longer viable.

NedSense believes all stakeholders are best served with the discontinuation of DPI, allowing the Company to further focus on its growth strategy.

Financial result

NedSense ended the first half of 2013 with a net loss of €871 thousand (first half 2012: €1,057 thousand loss). Although the investments in LOFT have stabilized compared to 2012, the result in the first half of 2013 improved compared to the first half of 2012 mainly due to lower operating expenses of NedGraphics (€294 thousand).

NedSense realized a gross profit of €4,353 thousand compared to €4,308 thousand in the first half of 2012, a growth of 1%. Both divisions Loft and NedGraphics reported almost flat gross profit levels compared to the same period in 2012. As activities of subsidiary Dynamics Perspective Inc. have been discontinued per June 30st 2013, their operating results have been excluded from the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

NedGraphics' operating cost decrease of 8% compared to the similar period in 2012, had an immediate impact on the segment's earnings before tax, which increased from a profit of €213 thousand in the first half of 2012 to a profit of €473 thousand in the first half of 2013.

The Loft division reported sales of €277 thousand as compared to €282 thousand in the first half of 2012. Due to the increased operating expenses (in particular development costs and personnel costs), the operating segment result before tax was €431 thousand negative.

DPI showed a profit of €7 thousand in the first half of 2013 compared to a loss of €116 thousand in the first half of 2012.

Operating loss of the holding in the first half of 2013 increased by €93 thousand especially due to accrued costs associated with the write off loans granted to each of the 2 members of the executive board upon completion of the equity transaction as per AGM on June 11th 2013.

Cash flow

The operational cash flow in the first half of 2013 amounted to €846 thousand positive (first half 2012: €414 thousand positive). The increase is mainly due to decreased operating expenses at NedGraphics. The cash flow from investments in the first half of 2013 was €1,400 thousand negative (first half 2012: €1,507 thousand negative), due to decreased investments in software development mainly in LOFT. The cash flow from financing in the first half of 2013 was €2,509 thousand positive (first half 2012: €772 thousand). The funding is related to the issue of ordinary shares finalized in June 2013 and the innovation grant from the Dutch Government.

The total change in cash and cash equivalents in the first half of 2013 amounted to €1,955 thousand positive (first half 2012: €321 thousand negative).

Balance sheet

From 31 December 2012 intangible fixed assets increased from €10,595 thousand to €10,834 thousand. This increase is mainly due to the investments in software development for both the LOFT product line

and NedGraphics. The receivables were reduced from €3,874 thousand to €2,679 thousand as the Company was able to collect most of the outstanding maintenance invoices which were submitted at year end 2012. Due to the issue of ordinary shares in June 2013 combined with the net loss in the first half of 2013 of €871 thousand, total equity increased from €5,684 thousand per December 31st 2012 to €7,059 thousand per June 30th 2013.

Due to negative results in the past few 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.

The solvency increased to 41,6% at 30 June 2013, from 35,6% at 31 December 2012 predominantly caused by the issue of ordinary shares in June 2013. The number of outstanding ordinary shares, with a nominal value of €0.10 each, was 28,596,496 as of 30 June 2013, an increase of 7,515,152 issued new shares versus the end of 2012.

Outlook

In the second half of 2013, NedSense will continue to deploy its strategic growth plan. As the order pipeline for the Loft division has improved, NedSense expects revenue growth for the full year versus last year.

The fragile market circumstances in traditionally strong textile countries such as Egypt, Italy and Portugal are expected to continue. On the other hand some emerging regions such as Latin America and emerging countries like Turkey are still growing.

NedSense is focused on the further development and rollout of LOFT with several important milestones expected in 2013. Existing customers will launch their online- and mobile LOFT implementations, and new customers are expected to start LOFT implementations. The launch of LOFT4Brands, a shared platform plus the entrance in the real estate market are examples of new business development which are also planned in the second half of 2013.

Growth acceleration is essential to maintain the current competitive advantage and secure corporate autonomy.

NedSenses' strategy is to continue to develop its sales and marketing efforts, maintain our market knowledge, and sustain our customer base and maintenance contracts, while looking for more opportunities to expand beyond the niche in which we currently operate. We are building and investing in our knowledge heritage, so that we can innovate, lead, and create true economic value for our customers.

NedSense enterprises n.v. 9 Half-year report 2013 (unaudited) The notes are integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

1. Reporting entity

NedSense enterprises n.v. (the "Company") is domiciled in the Netherlands with registered office at Laanakkerweg 2b, 4131 PA Vianen, the Netherlands. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as of and for the six months ended 30 June 2013 are comprised of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The Company is a holding company which holds 100% of companies providing integrated, specialized design, production, and planning software to the global textile and apparel industries.

As activities of its subsidiary Dynamics Perspective Inc. have been discontinued per June 30st 2013, their operating results have been excluded from the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended 31 December 2012 are available at www.nedsense.com.

2. Going Concern

In June 2013, additional funding of € 2,480 thousand was raised through the issue of 7.515.152 new shares. As of June 30, 2012 the Company has a solvency rate of 41,6%. In 2012, the Company received a grant from the Dutch Government of in total € 1.7 million of which total € 1.565 thousand have been received. Based on the Company's financial position, the scheduled invoicing of maintenance contracts and the resulting cash inflow in the fourth quarter of 2013 and first quarter of 2014, its assets and the current outlook of the financial performance for the forthcoming year, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared based on the going concern assumption.

All aspects of the Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2012. We continue to tightly manage our cash balance. The uncertainty of sales is the main risk of the Company.

3. Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended 31 December 2012. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 21 August 2013.

4. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2012. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been audited or reviewed. Management has analyzed new IFRS standards and determined that they do not impact the Group.

5. Estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2012.

With the assumptions, the initial value of the receivables is € 435 thousand, the current value is € 445 thousand with an expected life time of another 3.5 years. Costs associated with the write off of 20% of all loans (loans and interest) granted to each of the 2 members of the executive board upon completion of the

10. Share capital

At 30 June 2013, the issued share capital comprised 28,598.495 ordinary shares (31 December 2012 21,083.343) with nominal value of €0.10, which have been fully paid up.

Interest rate is 6.5% and will be accrued and paid in 2017.

12. Share-based payment

At 30 June 2013 the Group has the following share-based payment arrangements:

Plan C (Management)

The vesting period of share option program (equity settled) plan C is expired.

Plan D (Key employees)

For share option program (equity settled) Plan D, in 2009 100% of the first package (in December 2009), amounting to 3% of the outstanding shares of the Company, was granted to key employees. In 2010, 100% of the second package (in December 2010), amounting to 3% of the outstanding shares of the Company, was granted to key employees by formal approval of the Supervisory Board and Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in May 2011. The remaining option package (4% of outstanding shares) has been granted at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in June 2012. These options have a vesting period of 3 years.

The expected costs of the Plan D options are valued using the Black-Scholes and binomial models and amortized over the vesting period.

The company issued a new bonus remuneration plan based on certain financial and personal performance criteria which was approved at the shareholders meeting in June 2012. For the Board of Directors 50% of the maximum payout (respectively 100% and 80% of the respective annual salaries of CEO and COO) was granted and approved at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in June 2013. As the company is not cash flow positive yet, the payout is 100% in performance shares with a vesting period of 3 years.

Given the current developments, estimated costs of €107 thousand has been booked in the first half of 2013.
