Outlook Given our current visibility, we expect 2015 to be another year of good growth driven by a solid ramp of high volume new products. Revenue performance will be weighted towards the second half of the year. We expect revenue for Q to be in the range of $325 to $355 million.

4 2 Dialog Semiconductor Plc Interim Report Q Section 1 Business Review Gross margin in Q will remain broadly in line with H and improve on a year-on-year basis. Gross margin for the full year 2015 is expected to be above the full year Financial overview IFRS Second Quarter First Half US$ million Var Var.

(2) 2014 IFRS amounts have been adjusted. Please refer to Note 2 of the Q Interim Report. Revenue in Q was up 44% to $316 million. The strong revenue performance was the result of: Mobile Systems up 56% over Q % year-on-year revenue growth in Connectivity driven by strong momentum in Bluetooth Smart and wireless audio (DECT based solutions) Q IFRS gross margin was 46.5%, significantly above Q and 50bps above Q The year-on-year increase was the result of: The lower allocation per unit of the fixed component of Cost of Goods Sold; Positive product mix contribution from the latest generation of products in Mobile Systems and Connectivity; and The continuing realisation of the benefits of manufacturing cost optimisation. In Q underlying (*) net OPEX as a percentage of revenue was at 24.6%, 700bps below Q The value of underlying net OPEX in Q increased 13% over Q

5 Dialog Semiconductor Plc Interim Report Q Section 1 Business Review 3 Investments in R&D increased through the second quarter. On an underlying (*) basis, R&D investment was up 12% over Q2 2014, in line with our strategy of continuing innovation and diversification of our product portfolio. However, as a percentage of revenue, underlying R&D in Q decreased to 17.0% (Q2 2014: 21.8%). This reduction was primarily the result of the strong top line growth during the period. Underlying (*) SG&A in Q was in line with Q at 7.8% of revenue, but 220bps below Q primarily as a result of the strong growth of the business. In Q we achieved IFRS and underlying (*) EBIT of $62.5 million and $71.2 million respectively, 292% and 151% over Q Underlying EBIT margin in the quarter was 22.5% (Q2 2014: 12.9%). The Q underlying EBIT increase of 151% was primarily driven by good performance in the Mobile Systems segment and the anticipated turnaround in the Connectivity segment. On an underlying basis, the Connectivity segment contributed $4.1 million EBIT profit in Q (Q EBIT loss: $0.6 million). In total, a net tax charge of $17.1 million was recorded in Q2 2015, resulting from applying an effective tax rate of 28.5% (adjusted Q2 2014: 38.0%). The effective tax rate for the year ending 31 December 2014 was 29.0% (excluding one-off non-cash deferred tax credit). The decrease in our group effective tax rate is driven by the on-going exercise to align our Intellectual Property with the commercial structure of the group. This has allowed Dialog to fully recognise previously unrecognised UK trading loss carry forwards and to benefit from the favourable UK tax regime for technology companies. We believe this gradual decrease is sustainable and will now accelerate from 2016, thus continuing to drive further reductions in our effective tax rate in the years to come. In Q2 2015, underlying (*) net income and underlying EPS more than doubled from Q levels. Underlying diluted EPS in Q was 113% higher than in the same quarter of On 6 May 2015 Dialog Semiconductor acquired a 41% minority stake in Dyna Image for a purchase price with a fair value of $13.6 million of which $12.9 million was paid in cash at the time of acquisition. The parties agreed on a call option that would allow Dialog to acquire some or all of the outstanding non-controlling interests at their fair value at any time over a period of three years. Based on these additional potential voting rights, the Company assessed that effective control of Dyna Image could be obtained if the call option was triggered. On that basis, Management concluded that full consolidation of Dyna Image was appropriate in Q For full disclosure please refer to Note 3 of the Q Interim Report. At the end of Q2 2015, our total inventory level was $120 million (or ~64 days), an increase of $15 million over the prior quarter and broadly in line with Q This represents an increase of eight days in our days of inventory over the prior quarter. We are managing our inventory levels tightly at an appropriate level to service our current customer backlog. During Q we expect inventory value and inventory days to increase from Q in anticipation of a number of high volume product launches during the second half of the year. At the end of Q2 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents balance of $448 million. In the second quarter we generated almost three times more operating cash than in Q and $15 million of free cash flow (***). All outstanding Bonds were cancelled on 5 May The Company issued 6,797,025 new ordinary shares and the total number of ordinary shares issued by Dialog is now 77,865,955.

Operational overview During the quarter we completed a number of our highly integrated PMIC designs which will be sampled to our customers for products targeting H production. Widespread adoption of SmartBond - Bluetooth Smart connectivity continued to gain momentum across multiple IoT segments. Our pipeline of customer engagements remained strong across a wide range of applications demanding long battery lifetime, such as wearables, smart home and proximity tags. Following the success of the DA14580 we launched the industry s first Wearable-on-chip SoC (DA14680). The second generation of Bluetooth Smart is currently being evaluated by several customers and we are expecting high volume production to start in Q4. During the quarter, our efforts to reach out to Asian OEMs progressed on two fronts: Firstly, our collaboration with MediaTek continued to move forward and we are expecting a number of customers to ramp in H2 with our sub-pmic - DA powering MediaTek s MT6795 octa-core reference platform. Secondly, the shift to higher power and faster charging continued as the China and Korean smartphone market transitions through Our quick charge solutions gained momentum with large ODMs in Asia beginning the ramp of new products which accommodate the latest proprietary quick charge protocols of various companies. During the quarter, Dialog entered the white goods sector with an expanded Power Conversion product portfolio. We announced two power control integrated circuits that address the most critical reliability issue in white goods while reducing manufacturers Bills-of-Materials (BOM) costs without compromising power supply performance. The household appliance market is growing at 3.8% annually and will reach 430 million units by 2017 (Market analyst, Freedonia Group, 2014). Dialog s new digital controllers are designed for use in dishwashers, refrigerators, cooking ranges, microwaves and other high volume appliance applications. In Q2 we also significantly increased the total addressable market for our power saving technologies with the launch of our first highly integrated Power Management IC for computing systems. Adopting this integration approach for computing will replace the discrete power management solutions which have dominated computing systems to date. The DA9312, enables the design of smaller, thinner notebook computers and tablets powered by dual cell stacked (2S) Li-ion or Li-Polymer batteries. The notebook and tablet industries are moving towards designs powered by 2-cell batteries. Dialog is supporting this trend with the most integrated power management solution currently available. * * * * *

Results of Operations Segment Reporting Revenues in the Mobile Systems segment (see Note 4 to the interim consolidated financial statements and notes - Segment Reporting) were US$259.0 million for the three months ended 3 July 2015 (Q2 2014: US$166.3 million) comprising 81.8% of our total revenues (Q2 2014: 75.9%). For the first six months of 2015, revenues in this segment were US$513.6 million compared to US$340.3 million in the same period of 2014, an increase of 50.9%. The increase in this sector is primarily driven by the success of our growing range of highly integrated and increasingly more complex power management solutions for portable devices such as smartphones, wearables and tablet PCs. The operating profit in the Mobile Systems segment in Q was US$75.4 million, more than double the amount from the same period last year (Q2 2014:US$30.5 million). For the first six months of 2015, the operating profit in this segment was US$149.5 million compared to US$64.9 million in the same period of 2014, an increase of 130.2%. This was mainly a result of higher revenues, a richer product mix and improved product margins. Revenues from our Automotive/Industrial Applications segment were US$8.6 million for the three months ended 3 July 2015 (Q2 2014: US$10.5 million) representing 2.7% of our total revenues (Q2 2014: 4.8%). For the first six months of 2015, revenues in this segment were US$19.1 million compared to US$20.9 million in the same period 2014, a decrease of 8.8%. The operating profit was US$2.6 million for the three months ended 3 July 2015 (Q2 2014: US$2.9 million). For the first six months of 2015, operating profit decreased from US$6.1 million in H to US$5.5 million mainly due to the lower revenues and consequently lower fix cost coverage. Revenues from our Connectivity segment were up 25.1% on Q to US$28.6 million (Q2 2014: US$22.8 million), representing 9.0% of total revenues (Q2 2014: 10.4%). For the first six months of 2015, revenues in this segment were up 37.2% on the same period last year to US$56.0 million or 8.9% of total revenues (H1 2014: US$40.8 million or 9.3% of total revenues). The strong performance in the first half of 2015 was the result of the growth in new markets such as DECT based professional applications (i.e. cordless headsets and microphones) and the emerging Bluetooth Smart segment. This strong revenue performance drove the turnaround in operating results to a profit of US$3.8 million in

10 8 Dialog Semiconductor Plc Interim Report Q Section 1 Business Review Q (Q2 2014: operating loss of US$1.0 million). In H1 2015, we recorded an operating profit of US$5.0 million, compared to an operating loss of US$3.0 million in H From an underlying (*) point of view, Connectivity booked an operating profit in H of US$5.8 million, compared to an operating loss of US$1.8 million in H Amortisation expenses relating to the purchase price allocation decreased from US$1.0 million for H to US$0.5 million for H after some assets were fully amortised in The Connectivity segment s underlying financial performance for Q and Q is summarised below: Three months ended 3 July 2015 Three months ended 27 June 2014 IFRS Adjustment Underlying *) IFRS Adjustment Underlying *) Revenues 28,563-28,563 22,841-22,841 Operating profit (loss) 3, ,142 (965) 394 (571) *) Underlying results in Q are based on the IFRS interim income, adjusted to exclude US$0.3 million (Q US$0.3 million) of amortisation expenses related to intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Dialog B.V. and excluding expenses of US$0.1 million (Q2 2014: US$0.1 million) for National Insurance related to share options.

Revenues from our Power Conversion segment in Q were US$19.6 million or 6.2% of total revenues, flat on the same period last year (Q2 2014: US$19.6 million or 8.9% of total revenues). Q revenues were only marginally up compared to prior quarter reflecting the delayed products introductions in SSL (LED) and delayed ramp to revenue from Asia Tier 1 customers for our Quick Charge technology solutions. However, going into Q3 2015, multiple large Tier 1 Asian customers are now ramping production on the back of significant customer adoption which will lead to meaningful growth in 2H2015. For the first six months of 2015, revenues in this segment were US$38.3 million or 6.1% of total revenues compared to US$38.1 million or 8.6% of total revenues in the same period The operating loss in this segment was US$5.0 million in Q (Q2 2014: operating loss of US$4.6 million). In H1 2015, we recorded an operating loss of US$11.0 million (H1 2014: operating loss of US$9.3 million). Underlying (*) operating loss of H was US$3.3 million (H1 2014: US$0.1 million profit) excluding US$6.8 million (H1 2014: US$8.3 million) of depreciation and amortisation expenses related to the acquisition accounting, one-time expenses of US$0.5 million (H1 2014: US$0.8 million) related to the acquisition and integration of iwatt and US$0.5 million (H1 2014: US$0.3 million) for UK National Insurance expenses related to UK share options.

For the first six months of 2015, revenues were US$627.7 million compared to US$440.1 million in the same period The increase of 42.6% in revenues from H to H results mainly from higher sales volumes and an increase in the average sales price (ASP) of our more complex devices in Mobile Systems and the market strength of our Connectivity business. Cost of sales Cost of sales consists of material costs, the costs of outsourced production and assembly, related personnel costs and applicable overhead and depreciation of test and other equipment. IFRS Cost of sales increased by 35.9% from US$124.5 million for the three months ended 27 June 2014 to US$169.2 million for the three months ended 3 July 2015, resulting mainly from increased revenues compared to Q As a percentage of revenues, IFRS cost of sales decreased from 56.8% to 53.4%. This decrease can largely be attributed to material cost reductions and the on-going collaboration with our foundry and backend partners to gradually improve our manufacturing efficiencies. For the same reason IFRS Cost of Sales as a percentage of revenue decreased from 57.3% in H to 53.7% in H IFRS cost of sales in Q include depreciation and amortisation expenses related to the acquisition accounting of iwatt Inc., share options and related National Insurance expenses in the amount of US$1.8 million (Q2 2014: US$2.8 million) and in H US$3.7 million (H1 2014: US$5.5 million). These costs are excluded in the calculation of underlying cost of sales. Underlying (*) cost of sales increased from US$121.6 million in Q (55.5% of underlying revenues) to US$167.3 million in Q (52.9% of underlying revenues). For the first six months of 2015 underlying cost of sales were US$333.4 million (53.1% of underlying revenues) compared to US$246.8 million (56.1% of underlying revenues) in the same period Gross profit IFRS gross margin increased from 43.2% of revenues in Q to 46.5% of revenues in Q driven by lower cost of sales as a percentage of revenues. On an underlying basis the gross margin improved from 44.5% in Q to 47.1% in Q IFRS gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was up 55.4% on the second quarter of 2014 to US$147.3 million (Q2 2014: US$94.8 million). The IFRS gross margin for H was 46.2% compared to 42.7% achieved in H1 2014, an increase of 350 basis points. IFRS Gross profit for the first six months of 2015 was US$290.5 million, 54.7% above the previous year s figures (US$187.8 million). The improvement of gross margin reflects our efforts in rigorous cost management and the higher value added of our new products. Underlying (*) gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was US$149.2 million, 52.8% above the amount in the second quarter of 2014 (US$97.6 million). Underlying gross profit for the first six months of 2015 was US$294.3 million, 52.3% above the previous year s figures (US$193.3 million). The underlying gross margin for H was 46.9% compared to 43.9% achieved in H1 2014, an increase of 300 basis points. Selling and marketing expenses Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, travel expenses, sales commissions and advertising and other marketing costs. Also included are amortization expenses for intangible assets such as customer relationship, key customers and order backlog coming from the purchase price allocation relating to the acquisition of iwatt Inc. in the third quarter of 2013 and SiTel B.V. in IFRS selling and marketing expenses increased marginally from US$14.8 million for the three months ended 27 June 2014 to US$14.9 million for the three months ended 3 July 2015 (0.6% year on year increase). As a percentage of total revenues, selling and marketing expenses decreased from 6.7% of total revenues in Q to 4.7% of total revenues in Q Selling and marketing expenses increased from US$28.8 million (6.6% of total revenues) for the first six months 2014 to US$30.3 million (4.9% of total revenues) for the first six months This increase is mainly driven by our investment made post acquisition in Power Conversion and in Connectivity to support our growth in new markets.

12 10 Dialog Semiconductor Plc Interim Report Q Section 1 Business Review Underlying (*) selling and marketing expenses increased from US$11.6 million for the three months ended 27 June 2014 (5.3% of total revenues) to US$12.2 million for the three months ended 3 July 2015 (3.9% of total revenues). Underlying (*) selling and marketing expenses increased from US$22.6 million for the first six months of 2014 (5.1% of total revenues) to US$24.5 million for the first six months of 2015 (3.9% of total revenues). This increase as a percentage of total revenues is driven by our strategy to scale up our sales and distribution network to support the anticipated success of our new products in Power Conversion and Connectivity. General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and support costs for our finance, human resources and other management departments. IFRS General and administrative expenses were US$14.4 million (4.5% of total revenues) for the second quarter 2015, a slight decrease of 1.6% over the US$14.6 million (6.7% of total revenues) recorded in Q IFRS General and administrative expenses recorded in Q included US$0.1 million of iwatt acquisition and integration cost, US$1.0 million of stock option cost and US$0.9 million of UK National Insurance cost associated with UK share based payment charges; these costs are excluded in the calculation of underlying expenses. As a percentage of total revenues general and administrative expenses decreased from 6.7% for the three months ended 27 June 2014 to 4.5% for the three months ended 3 July For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, general and administrative costs were US$33.3 million (or 5.3% of total revenues) and US$26.2 million (or 5.9% of total revenues) respectively. IFRS General and administrative expenses recorded in H included US$3.8 million of iwatt acquisition and integration cost, US$2.1 million of stock option cost and US$2.4 million of UK National Insurance cost associated with UK share based payment charges; these costs are excluded in the calculation of underlying expenses. As a percentage of total revenues general and administrative expenses decreased from 5.9% for the six months ended 27 June 2014 to 5.3% for the six months ended 3 July Underlying (*) general and administrative expenses increased from US$20.2 million in H (4.6% of revenues) to US$25.0 million in H (4.0% of revenues). This increase is driven by our strategy to scale up our support functions as part of our on-going growth strategy. General and administrative expenses increased at a slower pace than the increase in revenues, leading to a decrease of general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues. On an underlying basis we expect general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues to improve in the second half of 2015 in line with higher expected revenues during that same period. Research and development expenses Research and development expenses consist principally of design and engineering-related costs associated with the development of new Application Specific Integrated Circuits ( ASICs ) and Application Specific Standard Products ( ASSPs ). IFRS Research and development expenses were US$55.9 million for the three months ended 3 July 2015 (Q2 2014: US$50.7 million), representing a year on year increase of 10.4%. However, as a percentage of total revenues research and development expenses decreased from 23.1% to 17.7% in those periods. R&D cost incurred during the quarter typically lead to revenue 6 to 18 months out. For the first six months of 2015, our R&D expenses were US$109.9 million (17.5% of total revenues) compared to US$96.4 million (21.9% of total revenues) in the first six months of Of that increase, an amount of US$4.4 million (H1 2014: US$9.8 million) was primarily due to the continuous increase in R&D headcount in support of our on-going growth strategy. Following a similar trend we saw in 2014 R&D investment as a percentage of revenues is expected to improve in the second half of the year in line with the seasonality of our business. Underlying (*) research and development expenses increased from US$91.7 million in H (20.8% of revenues) to US$103.5 million in H (16.5% of revenues). But as these expenses increased at a slower pace than our revenue increased, research and development expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenues. Other Operating Income Other Operating Income in Q was US$0.3 million (Q2 2014: US$1.2 million). For the first six months of 2015 other operating income was US$1.0 million (H1 2014: US$2.5 million). The amount in 2015 comprises income from customer-specific research and development contracts. Operating profit We reported an IFRS operating profit of US$62.5 million for the second quarter 2015 (Q2 2014: US$15.9 million). For the first six months of 2015, we reported an operating profit of US$118.1 million (18.7% of total revenues). This is compared to an operating profit of US$38.9 million in the prior year six months period (or 8.9% of total revenues). The year-on-year increase resulted from the robust revenue growth, gross margin improvement and the OPEX leverage. Q underlying (*) operating profit was US$71.2 million or 22.5% of total revenues compared to US$28.4 million or 12.9% in Q H underlying (*) operating profit was US$142.1 million or 22.6% of total revenues compared to US$60.6 million or 13.8% in H Interest income and other financial income Interest income and other financial income from the company s investments (primarily short-term deposits) were US$210 thousand for the three months ended 3 July 2015 (Q2 2014: US$166 thousand). For the first six months of 2015, we recorded interest income and other financial income of US$342 thousand compared to US$208 thousand in the same period of This increase primarily resulted from higher cash balances earning interest income. Interest expense and other financial expense Interest expense and other financial expense consist primarily of expenses from capital leases, hire purchase agreements, the group s factoring arrangement and the interest charges for the convertible bond up until Q

13 Dialog Semiconductor Plc Interim Report Q Section 1 Business Review 11 In Q2 2015, interest and other financial expenses continued to reduce to US$1.3 million (Q2 2014: US$3.7 million). The decrease in Q was the result of the early redemption of the convertible bond in May The interest expense in Q mainly included an amount of US$0.9 million (Q2 2014: US$2.0 million) related to the convertible bond representing the interest expense (non-cash) in connection with the measurement of the financial liability from the bond using the effective interest method. In addition, the amount in Q included an amount of US$0.5 million relating to a one percent coupon payable on a semiannual basis to the bond holders. For the first six months of 2015, interest expenses and other financial expenses were US$4.4 million compared to US$7.3 million for the first six months of With an amount of US$1.6 million this decrease relates to the early redemption of the convertible bond and with an amount of US$1.2 million to the repayment of loan facilities at the end of 2014 which were drawn in connection with the iwatt acquisition. Income tax expense For the three months ended 3 July 2015, a net income tax charge of US$17.1 million was recorded (adjusted Q2 2014: US$4.8 million tax charge). The effective tax rate in Q was 28.5% compared to 29.0% (excluding a one-off non-cash deferred tax credit of US$17.8 million) for the year ending 31 December For the six months ended 3 July 2015, a net income tax charge of US$32.6 million was recorded (adjusted H1 2014: US$6.5 million tax benefit) resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.5% compared to 29.0% (excluding a one-off non-cash deferred tax credit of US$17.8 million) for the year ending 31 December Net profit For the reasons described above, we reported a net profit of US$42.9 million for the three months ended 3 July 2015 (adjusted Q2 2014: US$7.8 million). Underlying (*) net profit increased from US$21.7 million in Q (9.9% of total revenues) to US$52.1 million in Q (16.5% of total revenues). Basic and diluted earnings per share in Q were US$0.59 and US$0.55, respectively, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share (adjusted) of US$0.12 and US$0.11 in Q Underlying (*) diluted earnings per share in Q increased by 112.9% compared to Q For the first six months of 2015, net profit reached US$81.7 million compared to US$38.9 million (adjusted) in the comparison period 2014 with basic earnings per share at US$1.15 (adjusted H1 2014: US$0.58) and diluted earnings per share at US$1.08 (adjusted H1 2014: US$0.56). The decrease in our group effective tax rate is driven by the on-going exercise to align our Intellectual Property with the commercial structure of the group. This has allowed Dialog to fully recognise previously unrecognised UK trading loss carry forwards and to benefit from the favourable UK Tax regime for technology companies. We believe this gradual decrease is sustainable and will accelerate from 2016, thus continuing to drive further reductions in our effective tax rate in the years to come. The effective tax rates applied in both periods represent the expected full year effective tax rates. The one-off non-cash deferred tax credit of US$17.8 million in 2014 was discussed in pages of the 2014 Annual Report (see also Note 2: Recognition of a reduction in deferred tax liability in 2014). The tax benefit of US$6.5 million for the first half in 2014 represents the previously reported IFRS tax charge of US$9.2 million adjusted to reflect the US$17.8 million deferred tax credit which arose at the time of the reorganisation in Q1 2014, with this credit also reduced by US$2.1 million to reflect the on-going impact of the reorganisation. The adjusted tax charge and effective tax rate for the first half in 2014, excluding the one-off non-cash deferred tax credit of US$17.8 million, were US$11.3 million and 34.8% respectively.

14 12 Dialog Semiconductor Plc Interim Report Q Section 1 Business Review Liquidity and capital resources Cash flows Cash generated from operating activities was US$45.7 million for the three months ended 3 July 2015 (Q2 2014: US$11.6 million). With an amount of US$77.0 million (Q2 2014: US$38.5 million) the cash inflow before working capital changes in the three months ended 3 July 2015 mainly resulted from the operating income (before depreciation, amortisation and other non-cash effective expenses). In Q this cash inflow was decreased by cash outflows from increased working capital needs of US$18.3 million (in Q2 2014: cash outflow of US$16.8 million). In addition in Q2 2015, the Company paid US$12.0 million for income taxes (Q2 2014: US$8.5 million). The amount paid in Q mainly represents advanced payments for corporate income taxes. Cash used for investing activities was US$22.6 million for the three months ended 3 July 2015 (Q2 2014: US$8.8 million). Cash used for investing activities in Q consisted primarily of the purchase of tooling (masks), laboratory equipment, probe cards, load boards and other advanced test equipment for a total of US$10.9 million (Q2 2014: US$6.0 million), the purchase of intangible assets of US$3.1 million (Q2 2014: US$2.7 million) and payments related to capitalised development costs of US$5.9 million (Q2 2014: US$0.2 million). Cash used for investing activities in Q included also a net cash outflow of US$2.6 million in connection with the investment in Dyna Image. cash inflow from financing activities in Q results from share option exercises in connection with the Company s employee share option program. The cash outflow in Q includes the redemption of loan facilities with an amount of US$25.0 million which was partly offset by US$7.8 million cash inflows resulting from share option exercises in connection with the company s employee share option program. Liquidity At 3 July 2015 we had cash and cash equivalents of US$447.7 million (31 December 2014: US$324.3 million). The working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) was US$435.0 million (31 December 2014: US$351.4 million). Total non-current financial liabilities as of 3 July 2015 were US$6.2 million (31 December 2014: US$188.1 million). The decrease in non-current liabilities resulted from the early redemption of the convertible bond in Q The Company has three factoring agreements which provide the Company with up to US$112.0 million of readily available cash. Accordingly, we believe the funding available from these and other sources will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements in the near to medium term if needed. Cash flow from financing activities was US$3.0 million for the three months ended 3 July 2015 (Q2 2014: US$17.2 million cash outflow). The
