(2) The increase in depreciation of plant and equipment was mainly due to an increase in new purchases of plant and equipment and also arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries. (3) The increase in amortisation expenses in respect of intangible assets was due to additions of intangible assets mainly arising from the acquisitions of Tinglobal Holdings Limited, OSINet Communications Pte Ltd and Pacnet Internet (Thailand) Limited ("PITH"), of which $0.1m (1Q2015: $0.2m) was recorded under cost of sales. (4) Foreign exchange loss of $0.5m was incurred arising from the revaluation of certain subsidiaries receivables denominated in US dollar which had weakened against Singapore dollar during 1Q2016.

8 A review of the performance of the Group, to the extent necessary for a reasonable understanding of the Group s business. It must include a discussion of the following:- a) any significant factors that affected the turnover, costs, and earnings of the Group for the current financial period reported on, including (where applicable) seasonal or cyclical factors; and b) any material factors that affected the cash flow, working capital, assets or liabilities of the Group during the current financial period reported on. Review of performance Group s revenue jumped 16.8% or $8.2m to $56.7m in 1Q2016 from $48.5m in 1Q2015. This was mainly due to mergers and acquisitions ("M&A") undertaken by the Group which contributed to revenue increases in both the IT Infrastructure Services ("IT Infra") and Vertical Domain Cloud ("VDC") segments. The IT Infra segment grew 10.0% or $4.5m to $49.6m in 1Q2016 from $45.1m in 1Q2015 due to full period's contribution from newly acquired subsidiaries. The VDC segment grew 106.0% or $3.7m to $7.1m in 1Q2016 from $3.4m in 1Q2015, largely due to Play-E Pte Ltd's platform business acquired in the last quarter of 2015. Gross profit for the Group increased 25.6% or $2.8m to $13.5m for 1Q2016 from $10.7m for 1Q2015. The gross profit margin increased by 1.6 percentage points to 23.8% in 1Q2016 from 22.2% in 1Q2015, due to a favourable sales mix comprising a higher proportion of recurring revenue which had better margins. Other income comprised mainly freight costs charged to customers, licensing fees, rebates from trade suppliers and interest income arising from the leasing of equipment. Other charges consist mainly of impairment of trade receivables and inventory, amortisation of intangible assets and foreign exchange differences. It increased to $0.9m for 1Q2016 from $0.1m for 1Q2015 mainly due to foreign exchange losses, higher amortisation expenses on intangible assets arising from M&A activities, partially offset by a $0.3m write-back on impairment of trade receivables. Selling expenses increased by 38.9% or $0.8m from $2.2m in 1Q2015 to $3.0m in 1Q2016, mainly due to higher marketing and commission costs incurred which was in line with the increase in revenue. In tandem with the growth in the Group's operations, administrative expenses increased by 16.3% or $1.8m from $11.2m in 1Q2015 to $13.0m in 1Q2016. The increase in administrative expenses were attributable to increase in staff costs of $1.2m as a result of additional headcount from the acquisitions of Pacnet Internet (S) Pte Ltd ("PISG")'s internet service provider ("ISP") business and TJ Systems (S) Pte Ltd ("TJS"), as well as rental and other administrative expenses of $0.6m arising from the full period's contribution from acquired subsidiaries. Finance costs increased by 185.9% or $1.0m from $0.6m in 1Q2015 to $1.6m in 1Q2016 mainly due to imputed notional non-cash interest cost of $0.8m on the redeemable exchangeable bonds of $6.0m issued by the Company in Jan 2016, as well as an increase in loans and borrowings to support the growth in the Group's business operations and M&A activities. The Group recorded a loss before tax of $4.1m for 1Q2016 as compared to $2.3m for 1Q2015, primarily due to higher finance costs and maiden operating expenses from newly acquired subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are still at their early stage of integration into the Group, and are expected to contribute positively later this year. Tax expenses relate mainly to profitable foreign subsidiaries. Despite a higher loss before tax in 1Q2016, the Group s tax expense increased by 12.8% or $43k to $378k in 1Q2016 from $335k in 1Q2015, primarily due to a deferred tax expense of $268k. Non-controlling interests shared a profit of $73k in 1Q2016 as compared to a loss in 1Q2015, mainly due to the proportionate share for Procurri group which was profitable in 1Q2016. This resulted in a net loss after tax of $4.5m for 1Q2016, an increase of 66.9% from $2.7m for 1Q2015, and a loss attributable to owners of the Company of $4.6m for 1Q2016 as compared to $2.6m for 1Q2015. Page 10 of 13
Review of financial position Non-current assets a) Property, plant and equipment increased by $0.4m arising from the acquisition of a new subsidiary in 1Q2016 and purchases of new equipment, partially offset by depreciation charges. b) Intangible assets increased by $4.1m mainly due to goodwill of $2.3m arising from the Group's acquisition of TJS and $3.3m of other intangibles from the acquisition of PISG's ISP business, partially offset by amortisation charges of $0.7m and translation losses of $0.8m. Current assets c) Inventories went up by $6.8m mainly due to an increase in inventory levels to meet anticipated orders under the IT Infra segment. d) Trade and other receivables increased by $4.9m, of which $3.9m was from the acquisition of new subsidiaries in 1Q2016. The remaining $1.0m was primarily due to the Group s growth in business activities. At the Company's level, the increase in trade and other receivables of $14.0m mainly relates to owings from subsidiaries for corporate service charges, cash extended to and the Company's shares issued for M&A activities at the respective subsidiaries' levels. e) Other assets increased by $2.6m mainly due to non-trade prepayments and advance payments made to suppliers. f) The movement in cash and bank balances is illustrated in the statement of cash flows and review of cash flows.

Review of cash flows During 1Q2016, the Group's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $7.1m to $14.6m as of 31 March 2016. The significant cash movements during 1Q2016 are as follows: i) Net cash used in operating activities in 1Q2016 amounted to $7.2m as compared to $2.4m in 1Q2015. This was mainly due to an operating cash outflow (before changes in working capital) of $1.1m in 1Q2016, increases in inventories and other assets amounting to $5.9m and $2.3m respectively, taxes paid of $0.2m, partially offset by an increase in other liabilities of $2.6m. ii) Net cash used in investing activities in 1Q2016 was $2.7m as compared to an inflow of $0.2m in 1Q2015. This was mainly due to intangible assets of $3.3m from the acquisition of PISG s ISP business, purchases of plant and equipment amounting to $2.0m, partially offset by an inflow of $2.6m from the acquisition of TJS. iii) Net cash generated from the financing activities in 1Q2016 was $2.7m as compared to $1.7m in 1Q2015.

Not applicable. No forecast or prospect statement had been previously disclosed to shareholders. 10 A commentary at the date of the announcement of the significant trends and competitive conditions of the industry in which the Group operates and any known factors or events that may affect the Group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months. The outlook for global growth remains weak for 2016 and will likely pose challenges to the Group's performance for the rest of the year. The Group will continue to extract synergies of our business operations by improving productivity and consolidation of operations. The Group's performance is seasonal with first quarter traditionally being weaker, and with the last quarter being relatively the strongest performance quarter. Hence the Group will continue to improve the business mix to even out the lopsided contribution from first quarter, with a focus on recurring revenues. The Group has received shareholders approval on 28 April 2016 and Eligibility-to-List from the SGX-ST on 29 April 2016 in relation to the proposed spin-off of our subsidiary, Procurri Corporation Pte. Ltd. on the Mainboard of the SGX-ST, which is expected to unlock value for the Group s investments. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Group expects to grow in all its business segments and will continue to monetize and harvest the rest of the business units. 11 Dividend (a) Current Financial Period Reported On Any dividend declared for the current financial period reported on?
