The CEO update
While we are proud to have registered an eighth consecutive quarter of growth, I am dissatisfied too with our rate of growth slowing in the quarter. However, we feel confident that this is not a long term trend as it has been
caused by some potentially large deals taking longer than expected to close and therefore shifting into Q3 or even Q4. We have concentrated all the resources necessary to bring these opportunities to closure as quickly as possible. Meanwhile our pipeline and rate of deal flow continue to increase, indicating that we are gaining further visibility and recognition across multiple targeted markets.
Our market remains strong with exciting new opportunities emerging both in geographies and sectors. For this reason, as we recognized at the beginning of this year, we need to expand our team in order to better address these emerging opportunities. I am happy to confirm that in Q2 we added new sales professionals, as well as a business development professional, to accelerate Birdstep's entry into new and important markets. However, taking into account the temporary slowdown in growth, we have deferred two further planned recruitments for Q3 into Q4 in order to ensure that we continue to manage costs carefully.
In terms of geography The Far East is becoming an increasingly important region for us. Mobile traffic is growing faster there than the rest of the world, driven by rapidly increasing penetration of bandwidth-hungry wireless devices, particularly smartphones and tablets. This is creating substantial business opportunities for Birdstep and as we reported in Q1 the company has several ongoing trials in Japan as well as in other Asian countries. Now I can confirm that we have two new customers in Southeast Asia, both announced in Q2. One is the central IT agency for the Malaysian Government, which is using our Safe Move security products, while the other is a multinational mobile & Wi-Fi solutions provider. These important wins are the results of our increased focus in this region, after hiring sales and support staff over the past year.
We are continuing to focus strongly on our core markets and are spending more time aiding our customers with their strategies to develop greater competitive advantage and services through transparent and seamless heterogeneous networks combining Wi-Fi and cellular. This quarter the company signed a global contract with a multinational mobile & Wi-Fi solutions provider to integrate and implement Birdstep's Smart Mobile Data family of products into the devices of a large international OEM. The company also received a global service order extending its relationship with a multinational information technology corporation that was announced in September 2013.
An important part of our strategy has been to identify new markets that we can take our existing product portfolio into, therefore maximizing our investments into new products and services. Thus far we have identified and are active in the fixed and mobile network sectors, cable TV networks, Wi-Fi Aggregator networks and device OEM's. Over the last year we have been investigating the many sectors of the IoT (Internet of Things) and have identified the new Connected Car sector as an area of opportunity where our products would bring value to a very young, yet potentially global market. In order to offer real-time diagnostics of the vehicle, safety
and emergency services to the passengers, navigation and infotainment, the Connected Car will connect to cellular and Wi-Fi HetNet's (Heterogeneous Network), will require a high degree of security and will leverage Big Data analytics to ensure the consumer receives the best available quality of service and Experience Continuity.
One key aspect of the Connected Car will be ownership and control of the data, which is the raw material for delivering applications and services that leverage the platform to deliver value to consumers. This will in turn increase the emphasis on security to protect data generated by the Connected Car and for this reason we believe our product portfolio will be a very compelling proposition for MNOs and car manufacturers as they pursue this market over the coming years.
I would also like to take the opportunity to welcome Ian Jenks as new board member. It is very valuable to have someone with Ian's skills and track record onboard. His extensive and broad experience of growing software businesses will undoubtedly add value to the company
In closing, despite the temporary slowdown in Q2 I am excited about the developments and progress we have made so far in 2014. The Birdstep team continues to work hard opening new opportunities and I look forward to report back to you again next quarter.

Business Focus
Birdstep's Smart Mobile Data solutions attract more global customers
This quarter the company signed a global contract with an Asian mobile & Wi-Fi solutions provider to integrate and implement Birdstep's Smart Mobile Data family of products into a large international OEM´s devices. The joint solution provides an enhanced and customized Wi-Fi connection management service for the OEM. The service will be deployed for the purpose of providing their customers with a managed Wi-Fi service. Birdstep's Smart Mobile Data solution provides the OEM a competitive advantage by including out–of-box value added services on their mobile devices.
Birdstep also signed a global service contract extending its relationship with a multinational information technology corporation that was announced in September 2013.
Under this expansion contract, Birdstep will provide products, support and maintenance for the Smart Mobile Data product family in all geographical markets under the existing contract.
The company also continued its focus on broadening the global customer base for its Smart Mobile Data solutions by sponsoring and speaking at the Wi-Fi Offload Summits in Johannesburg, South Africa and in Palo Alto, California.
Secure Mobility continues to make significant strides
Birdstep signed a strategically important SafeMove license contract with the Malaysian Administrative Modernization and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU). This contract, through our reseller Haynik, is a significant win for the company as MAMPU's charge is to modernize and reform the public sector in Malaysia.
Birdstep also signed a new contract with Scottish Water to provide SafeMove software to simplify mobile connectivity for its field engineers. SafeMove improves productivity for Scottish Water's engineers by enabling more reliable communications in challenging environmental conditions.
Additionally, the company extended its relationship with customers and further strengthened its position in various markets;
- The company signed a contract in with a US based OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for their Mobile IP (Mobile Router Toolkit) that handles seamless network handover for trains.
- Birdstep also signed an extension contract with a Finish high security OEM for the SafeMove Crypto IP.
- By providing secure and reliable connectivity for 2,000 community nurses at Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Partnership NHS (National Health Service) Trust the company strengthen its position in UK.
- Birdstep entered the African IT security market by signing a reseller agreement with CONDYN, an information security focused distributor in South Africa. Through this agreement Birdstep will be able to address the rapidly developing mobile markets of South Africa and neighbouring Sub-Saharan countries.

Market Outlook
Birdstep's fundamental thesis remains solid as mobile data consumption continues to grow rapidly by all measures and crucially MNOs (Mobile Network Operators) are turning increasingly to Wi-Fi to cope with and exploit this proliferation. The MNO sector therefore remains our core market as we provide operators with the smart mobility technology to harness Wi-Fi within a seamless heterogeneous experience and avoid having to deploy millions of dollars on additional radio spectrum.
Now highly promising and substantial new markets are emerging around both Wi-Fi and 4G/LTE, with varying dynamics but a common goal to deliver a high quality and ubiquitous connected experience.
At Birdstep we have identified five key target markets beyond our traditional MNO sector as follows:
Cable TV operators want to expand their footprint and deliver TV Everywhere services that enable their customers to access TV services outside the home wherever they are, but have abandoned the idea of using mobile networks. Instead they are turning to Wi-Fi to reach their customers outside the home, adopting a variety of strategies that include opening up their customers' Home Wi-Fi for sharing or so called Home Spots, partnering with public Wi-Fi providers and deploying Wi-Fi routers in their own street cabinets.
Large screen OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) are recognizing the potential of adding
value to notebooks and tablets and are incorporating Wi-Fi network connectivity, sometimes in conjunction with 3G or 4G/LTE, to enable ubiquitous and seamless Internet access.
Enterprises of all sizes are adopting mobile connectivity packages including Wi-Fi and 3G/4G to enhance employee productivity on the move.
The Connected Car market holds particular promise for MNOs and device makers, as well as vehicle manufacturers. This is a new target for Birdstep as we can assist these parties in delivering compelling services that require combined external and in-car connectivity. Huge growth in the Connected Car segment is expected over the next five to ten years as vehicle connectivity reaches down from the luxury sector to embrace even low priced models. By 2020 90% of cars will be connected compared with 10% today, according to Machina Research, a consultancy in emerging M2M and Internet of Things markets. This almost always will involve a HetNet (Heterogeneous Network) connection delivering a range of infotainment, navigation, control, and monitoring for both safety and fault detection.
The IoT (Internet of Things) is an umbrella term for a range of emerging services and apps based around IP connected devices both in and outside the home that will drive continued growth of public and private Wi-Fi. The Connected Car is a branch of IoT but is one that we are treating as a distinct target sector.
There is a common thread uniting all our target sectors, which is that as more and more people continue to consume more and more data as part of their mobile lifestyles, there is simply not enough radio spectrum for the MNOs to cope with the demand. In the near to mid-term, Wi-Fi is the only viable alternative for MNOs to augment existing cellular networks. Operators will increase their use of HetNets to meet demand, while using software solutions to manage these and optimize the customer experience by ensuring Experience Continuity.
Another shared theme among our target sectors is that security will be of greater importance across the mobile ecosystem than ever before. The mobile cellular industry has traditionally relied on the SIM card as the root of security for cellular services, but with growth of HetNets Wi-Fi comes into the equation. Then the Connected Car ratchets up the threat level further in several ways. The most obvious being the potential for malicious attacks targeting a car's braking, speed control or steering systems. These threats can be mitigated but need to be recognized and addressed.
While the Connected Car is still quite embryonic, it shows opportunity of significant growth over the next few years. Therefore, Birdstep is beginning today by laying the groundwork through its combination of Intelligent Network Selection, Smart Data Analytics and also Secure Mobility.

Notes
Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Our fiscal year runs from January 1 to December 31.
The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows cover the six first months of 2014, and the related information on Birdstep included in these notes to the financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, such interim statements include all adjustments, which consist only of the normally recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows for each period presented. The interim consolidated results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as those of the most recent annual financial statements.
These interim financial statements are presented in Norwegian crowns (NOK). The functional currency of Birdstep's foreign operations is the currency of the country in which the operations are conducted.
The accounts of Birdstep are translated into the reporting currency, NOK, using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities, and at average exchange rates during the period for the results of operations.
EBITDA is equivalent to operating income (loss) excluding both discontinued operations and non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization.
Income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company has 101.621.627 shares issued and 101.600.572 shares outstanding, the difference of 21.055 representing treasury shares.

Financial instruments that potentially subject Birdstep to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Birdstep performs ongoing evaluations of customers' financial condition to determine if any reserve for potential uncollectible amounts is needed. As of June 30 2014, no potential uncollectible amounts had been made.
The company's various risks have been described in the Annual Report in further detail and no other risks has been identified.
