For investor related queries, pleaseemail: [email protected] CEO's Review Overview The first six months of the 2014 financial year have been another importantperiod in InternetQ's development as a significant player in the global mobileecosystem. InternetQ's strong performance is clearly evidenced by significant revenuegrowth to €65.7 million, an increase of more than 50 percent over the previousyear. These strong growth rates have been achieved both organically and throughacquisitions. In the first six months of the current financial year thesuccessful integration of businesses acquired in Latin America and Germany hasimproved our geographic diversity, while organic growth has been driven by thedevelopment of our mobile marketing and digital entertainment businesses, whichcontinue to evolve with new functionalities and commercial arrangements.Adjusted underlying EBITDA has risen significantly as well to €9.8 million. TheGroup has continued to invest to secure future growth with €7.1 millioninvested into technology platforms and upgraded customer functionalities and €3million in an acquisition in Mexico to complement our Latin American business.These investments have been financed from existing cash resources and theCompany's net cash position as at 30 June 2014 was €3.3 million. InternetQ's growth has been accelerated by the acquisitions that we have madewhich have enabled the Company to achieve rapid deployment of its existingsolutions into new geographies and new customers. From a strategic perspective, InternetQ has streamlined its activities into twomain, highly synergistic and progressive lines of business: B2B (MobileMarketing) and B2C (Digital Entertainment). Overall, we see significant futureopportunities in our markets for both mobile marketing and digitalentertainment on the back of the success we have already achieved across LatinAmerica, Europe and Asia. With global smartphone adoption continuing apace and the resulting increaseduse of smart devices, vendors and brands are increasingly able to reachconsumers in a more targeted and therefore more profitable way. With theongoing focus on customer acquisition and the deeper levels of consumer insightthat are now available to us, InternetQ has developed a performance-basedadvertising model that we have successfully taken to a dynamic new client base.This new client base includes game companies and large-scale Ad networks thatare increasingly giving us demand-based mobile advertising campaigns to manage.Our unique offering to support the current trend for `App install' campaignshas enabled InternetQ to build a commanding market presence supported by deepclient relationships. Our focus on innovation will continue to drive our business and we are wellplaced to benefit from the ongoing increase in daily consumption of Apps and InApp purchase activities regardless of whether they evolve from a mobileoperator, an App store, or a large scale game portal. We will continue toinnovate to connect the advertiser to the end-user in a profitable manner. B2B (Mobile Marketing): The Mobile Marketing landscape has changed significantly in recent years,primarily as a result of substantial global smartphone adoption. Strategically,InternetQ has pre-empted this change by deploying its Minimob platform veryearly in the cycle, thereby being able to offer both existing and new clientsthe option to run their campaigns into greater and more widely dispersedchannels. The Minimob offering is an exciting addition to InternetQ's product suite anddemonstrates our ability to innovate and bring to market new technologies thatchange how our customer base interacts with their end users. With the launch ofMinimob and its recently upgraded Software Development Kit ("SDK"), InternetQis capable of providing its client base with the technology and the opportunityto successfully launch campaigns that target the "over-the-top" world of smartdevices and app ecosystems which their subscribers inhabit. Minimob now countsmore than 250 million installs, and this is increasing at a rate of 1 to 2million installs per day. This network that InternetQ has developed over thepast 15 years is essentially a large `private network' that, using ourtechnology, our clients can effectively advertise into. The proprietary cross-selling capabilities that are available with the latestrelease of the Minimob SDK are unique to InternetQ and truly differentiate usin the marketplace. These algorithms offer our clients a number of advantagesand we are dedicated to constantly improving and adapting our offer to maximizethe financial potential of this network. We have achieved strong growth in the first six months, particularly inemerging markets with notable mobile marketing projects undertaken inArgentina, Paraguay, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras,Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The importance of our product for our clients isdemonstrated by the fact that a good number of campaigns operating in the LatinAmerican region were extended from the first quarter into the second. Lookingforward, we have a strong mobile marketing pipeline which includescross-operator projects in Poland, projects in Asia and campaigns with leadingoperators in other regions. B2C (Digital Entertainment): Digital Entertainment continues to be a major growth driver for our business,especially the Akazoo music streaming service, which is delivered to customersthrough our strong relationships with mobile operators, handset manufacturersand even ISP's. Thanks to the synergies of Minimob with its advanced Appmarketing capability, the rapid and impressive growth of Akazoo continuesunabated. The potential for direct-to-consumer expansion has also offeredadditional opportunities for product and service extension. In H1 2014, following the conclusion of a successful open tender, InternetQ wasselected to run the Orange Poland music service. This service has launchedwell, and as we move through the year, Akazoo has a growing pipeline ofpotential business-to-business partnerships with launches stretching in 2015thus providing good forward visibility. Operationally speaking, the conversionrates (to paid subscriptions) remain high at 20 to 35 percent, driving asignificant increase in streaming revenues Investing in Akazoo will lead to the introduction of a number of new featuresand functions in the second half which will further enhance the key automationand personalisation aspects of the service and strengthen its position in themarketplace. Financial review: Group revenues increased by 53% in the first half of 2014 to €65.7 million (HY2013: €43.0 million), with both segments delivering substantial sales growth.Revenues from B2B activities grew by 49% to €51.5 million (HY 2013: €34.5million) and revenues from B2C grew by 67% to €14.2 million (HY 2013: €8.5million). InternetQ now benefits from further geographic diversity withrevenues spread across a broad range of growth markets - 34% from Europe, 32%from Asia, 18% from the Americas, 16% from the Middle East & Africa. Operationscontinue to be managed and coordinated from existing locations. Selling and administration costs increased by 35%, primarily due toacquisitions and the geographic expansion of the business. Adjusted EBITDA(after adjustment for share based payments and acquisition costs amounting to €1.3 million) grew by 88% to €9.8 million (HY 2013: €5.2 million) a margin of15% (HY 2013: 12%). Profit after tax for the half year remained stable at €3.2million compared to €3.3 million for the HY 2013, with this attributable to theincrease in operating profits being offset by amortisation of intangibles and aone-off, unrealized currency movement on intercompany balances between the UKholding company and Euro denominated subsidiaries. As in previous periods,these gains and losses are unlikely to be realized but lead to a non-cash P&Ladjustment. Investment in the Akazoo, Minimob platforms and related applications resultedin capital expenditure for the half year ended 30 June 2014 of €7.1 million, anincrease of 40% from the previous year (HY 2013: €5 million). A slightly loweramount will be invested in the second half and cash will continue to improve. Cash from operations was €8.0 million, reflecting the strong underlyingfinancial performance. Investing activities comprised €7.1 million in softwaredevelopment and €3.0 million in a synergistic acquisition in Mexico. The Groupended the first half of the year with €3.3 million net cash after acquisitions,which consisted of €12 million (HY 2013: €8.7 million) cash and €8.7 million ofbank debt (HY 2013: €3.4 million). We remain dedicated to executing our growth strategy and have carefullypositioned the Company to take full advantage of the boom in mobile advertisingto smart devices being driven by the App Economy. InternetQ has made excellent progress during the first half, in line withmarket expectations and I am confident we are well placed to continue tobenefit from the strong growth in mobile marketing and digital entertainment. The mobile ecosystem has altered to become a majority "smart device" one.Having anticipated this shift, InternetQ is now reaping considerable benefitsfrom this changing landscape and we have developed innovative products that areperfectly attuned to this huge market opportunity. Our products and services are receiving very strong demand from both existingand new customers and sales post-period end have been strong. With the industrygrowth pushing billions upon billions of transactions and spending on allthings mobile; we fully expect another strong year ahead and are confident oftaking the Company to even greater heights. The consistent and sustainable nature of the InternetQ's commercial success,coupled with the strong revenue and EBITDA growth achieved in the first sixmonths, gives the Board confidence that that results for the full year will bein line with current expectations. InternetQ will hold an Investors' Day on 11 November 2014.

Operating segment information For management purposes the Group is separated into business units based on itscustomer types. Consequently, the Group has two reportable operating segmentsas follows: * Business to Business (B2B) segment: B2B revenues are those that arise from the marketing of InternetQ's products to other organizations. It allows the Group to sell its products or services to other companies or organizations that resell them, use them in their products or services or use them to support their operations. * Business to Consumer (B2C) segment: B2C revenues are those resulting from marketing of InternetQ's products directly to consumers as the Group's target market. In the past two years the Group has driven the scale of the business to thenext level with a further push into new territories by acquiring Atlas Germanyand Interacel Holdings, providing commercial synergies based on increasedbreadth of distribution. Following this, the Group has changed its segments to align with the strategy,allow management to take quick decisions and points to the opportunities andaccommodate and anticipate changes in the business and in customer behaviors.This presentation is therefore consistent with how the business operates andhow performance is assessed. As such InternetQ's management has decided to report two clearly definedcategories that better reflect the Group's customer types, namely B2B and B2C. Management monitors the operating results of its segments separately for thepurpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performanceassessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss(minus any costs that are not allocated to segments). Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in amanner similar to transactions with third parties. Segment income, expenses andresults will include those transfers between business segments which areeliminated on consolidation.
