Crimsonwing Malta, Crimsonwing Limited and Crimsonwing BV are responsible for attracting business within the Crimsonwing model in Malta, the United Kingdom and Netherlands respectively. The principal markets have been the United Kingdom and the Netherlands with 93% and 7% of total Group revenues during the year ended 31 March 2007. Following the acquisition of 51% of the share capital of Promentum Holding BV, Group revenue from the Netherlands has grown significantly and for the current financial year ending 31 March 2008, it is expected to contribute to circa 19% of total turnover.

The unique selling point of the Crimsonwing Group business model has been the establishment of a solution centre in Malta which has now been developed as the predominant hub of its business model. The Malta solutions centre has proven to be successful for various reasons including the lower cost base of execution, easy accessibility, excellent communication and business skills and loyalty of the workforce.

The Crimsonwing Group is actively seeking further foreign acquisitions to accelerate its growth mainly by identifying companies operating within the Microsoft technology market. Through the effective use of its business model and the various strategic investments and acquisitions, the Group has consolidated its position within the United Kingdom and the Netherlands and has opened up new business opportunities in the DACH market (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) through Promentum’s subsidiary in Austria.

The Combined Offering consists of an offer by the major shareholder David Walsh of 2,600,000 shares and the exercise of the employee share options of 2,147,134 shares coupled with an issue of 2,000,000 new shares.
