QUARTERLY REPORT Q3/ 2017

© 2017 ANOTO

Anoto Group AB is a global leader in digital writing and drawing solutions, having historically used its proprietary technology to develop smartpens and the related software. These smartpens enrich the daily lives of millions of people around the world. Now Anoto is also using its pattern, optics, and image-processing expertise to bridge between the analogue and digital domains through an initiative known as Anoto DNA (ADNA). ADNA makes it possible to uniquely and unobtrusively mark physical objects and then easily identify those individual objects using ubiquitous mobile devices such as phones and tablets. ADNA is enabling exciting possibilities for product innovation, marketing insights, and supplychain control. Anoto is traded on the Small Cap list of Nasdaq Stockholm under ANOT.

REPORT JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2017

• Net sales for the quarter amounted to 51.6 MSEK which is a 30% increase YoY and a 5% increase QoQ. These increases are mainly thanks to stable sales at Pen Generations and increasing sales at Livescribe.
• Gross margin for the quarter was 41% compared to 31% in the prior year. This margin is similar to the previous quarter (43%) and includes the effect of an escrow settlement of 375K USD and increased margins in Livescribe and Pen Generations.
• Overhead costs in the quarter were 17 MSEK. This represents a significant reduction from 112 MSEK in the same quarter last year. This quarter's costs are fairly consistent with the previous quarter (15 MSEK) in spite of the burden of the final obligations associated with the cessation of active operations in the Lund office.
• Operating profit was 4.3 MSEK making two positive quarters in a row. This result stands in strong contrast to the -103.9 MSEK reported in 2016. The turnaround is attributable to rising sales, improved gross margins, and the significant cost reduction from the restructuring, as well as the one-time impairment losses (37.7 MSEK) in the prior year.

CEO COMMENTS

Anoto achieved operational profitability for two quarters in a row. However, significant revenue growth was not attained due primarily to reduced demand for existing pens as customers delayed ordering of pens in anticipation of a new pen arrival.

The new AP-701 pen, nicknamed the U-Pen (shortened from Ubiquitous Pen), is Anoto's new pen with production that has started in November 2017. Most of the technical specs are improved from the previous pen while reducing the fully manufactured price. Manufactured cost reduction was achieved mainly from the pen design where we made it possible to reduce MVA (manufacturing fee captured by the factory) due to its design simplicity. The U-Pen has an updated firmware which enables the pen to be used in Anoto, Livescribe or Pengen platforms. In other words, it can be used as a forms pen, notetaking pen and a streaming education pen. It has a dual-mode Bluetooth chip (Classic and LE) and longer battery life (10 hours of continuous writing) in the smallest diameter (11mm) pen we have ever produced.

This pen is a record breaker in many aspects. It set the record for shortest development time (10 months) from start to finish. It also set the record for smallest development budget. It is the most compact pen in terms of diameter and length. It has the lowest manufacturing cost. And finally, it has the shortest manufacturing lead time. This pen fixed one crucial mistake in previous pens. Because previous pens used long lead time components, it took a long time to deliver finished products to customers. Shorter lead time on components means quicker delivery and improved service to customers.

The impact of the U-Pen is significant in Anoto's new pricing strategy of charging less for hardware and maximizing recurring revenue through software and pattern revenue. Especially, the Enterprise Forms business is undergoing a complete restructuring of its business model, where we provide a pricing structure to enable lower upfront capital expenditure and increase usage of pens. In order to support

such transformation, Anoto is developing a new platform to complement the existing Anoto Live Forms ("ALF"). The new Anoto Enterprise Forms ("AEF") platform is targeted primarily at large enterprises and increases scalability and ease of integration into the customer's own system.

Anoto previously had different platforms, different SDKs, different firmware among Livescribe, Pen Generations, and Anoto. Although the three different platforms all used Anoto technology, different pens could not share Anoto patterns and mobile apps. Duplication in expenses maintaining the different platforms was inevitable. With the new U-Pen, Anoto has finally achieved total convergence and integration. This is another reason why the advent of U-Pen is important to Anoto.

During the third quarter of this year, Anoto completed the first phase of development of ADNA technology, and commercially launched the ADNA Discovery app. The first phase is called "Interactive Paper" where Anoto developed nearly invisible pattern (to the naked eye) which makes books, newspapers, ads, and other paper products digitally interactive. ADNA technology is significantly different than any other existing options in terms of printability, uniqueness, and flexibility of applications. In ADNA, many different patterns can be applied to a single page, enabling different interactions with readers.

The most important aspect of this launch is that it enables easy adaptation of ADNA technology by customers. Instead of working as a service provider to few customers, ADNA is now a product rather than service. The current version of ADNA enables customers to apply ADNA to their products using the ADNA SDK and their existing app development resources.

In terms of cost, OPEX remained stable at 17 million SEK and the development cost for the U-Pen was kept to a minimum. Severance and restructuring costs for the Lund and Norrköping offices are still included in the third quarter OPEX number but expected to end in November 2017.

OUTLOOK AND FUTURE STRATEGY

I believe Anoto is now a completely different company. It has a different business model, dramatically improved, efficient cost structure and a well-defined strategy of diversification. It is my intention to create a stable revenue base for Anoto so that it is no longer dependent on large one-time deals to survive. The addition of Livescribe brings some stability as retail sales rarely fluctuate with volatility. Changing the composition of our customer base in the Enterprise Forms business from small scale SI partners to large scale directly serviced customers will also enhance stability. This is the essence of what I call, Anoto 2.0.

Anoto 2.0 is defined as an efficient and productive organization: simple product structure (one firmware base, one software platform, and one cohesive hardware portfolio), reduced dependence on hardware, more emphasis on recurring software and pattern revenue, and a diversified revenue source.

Anoto now has only four distinct business areas: ADNA, Enterprise Forms, Notetaking, and OEM. It has one unified R&D team, one manufacturing team, one integrated software and mobile app team, and one sales team. These lean teams efficiently manage the entire range of Anoto products.

Believe it or not, Anoto has completely transformed itself in one year. But we still have a ways to go. We're finishing the very final steps in reshaping the company and we have started the development of another pen in the platform which is expected to be completed by June next year. When achieved, this will be a further reduction of our development time.

Q4 marks the beginning of Anoto 3.0. Production of the new AP-701 pen has begun in November 2017. Our goal in the Forms and OEM businesses is to concentrate on a limited number of large-scale customers who buy hundreds of thousands of pens per year. Currently we are in discussions with a global pharmaceutical company for the development of a biometric pen for Digital Audit Trail. Our pen has time and date stamp but with the biometric pen, it will be able to authenticate the user as well. This pen is expected to open new markets for a large scale use. We are also working with an education company to build an online education and testing platform using our pen. Our pen is an ideal input device for test taking and online education. We expect these initiatives will result in building a stable and sufficient revenue flow.

If we have five customers who each buys 200,000 pens a year, we will have a stable million-unit business with significant recurring software revenue. This means that the large ad hoc transactions on which Anoto has historically relied will now be icing on the cake.

We are now done with cost cutting but the focus on efficiency and productivity will continue. We are now finished with unloading the baggage of the past. I believe we now have all the right pieces to finally move ahead. Increasing revenue and profits will give us ammunition to invest in our future and achieve our goal for Anoto 3.0.

ANOTO GROUP IN THE THIRD QUARTER 2017

Total sales in the quarter amounted to 51.6 MSEK (39.8 MSEK) and operating profit amounted to 4.3 MSEK (-103.9 MSEK). These quarter-over-quarter increasing sales were produced by focusing on three existing business areas rather than the thirteen business areas that were diffusing resources in the prior year.

MSEK (-103.9 MSEK). These quarter-over-quarter increasing sales were produced by focusing on three existing business areas rather than the thirteen business areas that were diffusing resources in the prior year.
The numbers show that the improvements in organizational efficiency are producing the desired cost savings. As planned, the third quarter of 2017 shows a significant reduction (84%) compared to the same period in 2016.
Asia continues to provide strength and quarterly performance in North America has responded as anticipated to now put North American performance on a trajectory to come within the previously budgeted range. The global forms market shows even greater promise than anticipated but this is not reflected in this quarter's revenue due to extended sales cycles. The sales pipeline in both developed and emerging markets remains full and there are potentially large deployments that we expect to close in the last quarter of 2017 and in early 2018.
Net cash flow after financial activities was 5.8 MSEK (-33.8 MSEK). Investments in fixed assets amounted to 7.7 MSEK (8.9 MSEK) including capitalised expenses of 7.1 MSEK (6.5 MSEK).

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and applicable parts of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 are presented either in notes or elsewhere in the report. This interim report for the parent company was prepared in accordance with Swedish Annual Accounts Act chapter 9. For information about the accounting policies applied, refer to the 2016 annual report. The accounting policies applied and the judgments in the Interim Report are consistent with those applied in the Annual Report for 2016 except for disclosure of ESMA´s guidelines on alternative performance measures that is applied as of July 3, 2016 and implies disclosures related to financial measures not defined under IFRS.

No new or amended standards or interpretations have had an impact on the Group's financial position, results, cash flows or disclosures. The new and revised standards and interpretations that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) but which only come into effect for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018 have not yet been applied by the Group.

Goodwill arising on consolidation was reviewed for impairment in Q3 of 2016 and adjustments made to write down Goodwill. No further provision for impairment of Goodwill was considered necessary in Q4 2016 or in 2017.

INVESTMENTS

In Q3 2017 Anoto invested 7.1 MSEK in additional product development costs capitalised as intangible assets. This project has as its purpose to deliver a common future pen platform for the Group. In 2016 intangible assets were evaluated and costs previously capitalised on projects were written off where those projects were no longer proceeding.

FINANCING

In Q3 Anoto placed senior unsecured convertible bonds due in 2019 and received 32.3 MSEK. In this reporting quarter, Anoto also converted 26.0 MSEK of this convertible bonds and issued 200,000,000 new shares in Anoto Group AB.

RISK FACTORS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Anoto management continues to address a number of risks facing the company. In the recent past these risks have included a cost structure that was too high relative to sales and a lack of strategic focus. Multiple cost-cutting activities were carried out in 2016 and the first half of 2017. The corporate strategy has been refined through the imposition of focus and it is expected that the performance increase associated with this focus, combined with the substantial cost reductions achieved, will put Anoto in a cash-generating position in 2017.

The cost reduction programme has been substantially completed by the end of Q3 of this year. Anoto will continue to monitor cash flow forecasts to appropriately manage any stresses on working capital and liquidity that may arise from increased demand for pens and from the investments being made in product development. Anoto will source additional funding to accommodate development costs, above-plan growth, and fluctuations in operating expenses as required.

Profitable growth is the objective on which management is concentrating. Market response and sales timing are obviously risks being managed in this regard. The diversified portfolio of existing businesses (Education, Forms, and Notetaking) and ADNA is an important force in minimizing this risk.

While financing remains an important concern for Anoto, it is the opinion of management and the Board that, the cash flow from the above activities, together with any additional funding to

accommodate product development and above-plan growth, will provide the liquidity required by Anoto for the next 12 months. This perspective takes into account the cash-on-hand as of September 30, 2017 and the improved operating cash flow expected from cost reductions and increasing sales.

SEGMENT REPORTING

During the last few months, the Group has been reorganized to become a more unified global entity. As a consequence, the previous reported segments are no longer valid, and instead group expenses are categorized by function and applied to the Group as a whole. Consequently, there is no comparable financial information for the legacy fields of application and the Group has therefore chosen to discontinue this reporting. Anoto will prepare appropriate segmental reporting when the reorganization is complete.

EMPLOYEES

As of September 30, 2017 Anoto Group had a total of 51 employees as compared to 96 at year-end 2016. When the already announced restructuring plans have been completed a further 14 employees will no longer be on the Group payroll.

PARENT COMPANY

Anoto Group AB is a pure holding company that has a limited number of corporate functions.

SHARE DATA

The Anoto share is listed on the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Small Cap List in Stockholm. The total number of shares at the end of the period was 2,976,942,732.

TRANSACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES AFTER SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

On October 4, 2017, Anoto has carried out a reverse split (1:30). In addition, the number of shares has increased by in total 2,835,706 new shares, after the reverse split, in connection with conversion of convertible bonds. As of October 31, 2017, the share capital of Anoto Group AB amounts to SEK 61,240,278.26, divided into 102,067,130 shares.

LEGAL ACTIVITIES

Anoto has amicably settled its dispute with LeapFrog Enterprises (and its affiliates), a U.S. (Delaware) company headquartered in Emeryville, California ("LeapFrog"), in Sweden, without any admission of liability.

LeapFrog has withdrawn, with prejudice, its requests for arbitration filed in both the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce and the International Chamber of Commerce, in Sweden, and Anoto has withdrawn its counterclaim in the SCC proceedings as well. This resolution secures for Anoto the stable supply of a proprietary integrated circuit (IC) supplied by LeapFrog known as DotPos, and the right to a perpetual, royalty-free license to the DotPos IC. In consideration of these rights and assurances by LeapFrog, Anoto will pay LeapFrog a total of US\$ 750,000 in five installments over a period of four years.

Anoto has also reached a favorable settlement with a former Anoto employee who filed a civil lawsuit against the Company in Los Angeles, CA, alleging wrongful termination, unpaid wages/expenses and gender discrimination, thus avoiding the costs and risks of a federal trial. The employee's claims against Anoto were withdrawn with prejudice, with no admission of wrongdoing on Anoto's part.

Anoto filed a series of claims with Fortis Advisors, the escrow representative, in support of Anoto's allegations of breaches of representations and warranties made by the selling shareholders in conjunction with Anoto's acquisition of Livescribe Inc. in December 2015. In late August 2017 a total of \$375,000 USD was paid to Anoto in satisfaction and settlement of its claims.

Anoto remains a defendant in a lawsuit filed by a technology company, APOLOGIC Information Applications, in the commercial court of St. Malo Commercial Court. Anoto believes that the claim by APOLOGIC, alleging breach of commercial contract, is wholly without merit and furthermore that the court lacks both personal and subject matter jurisdiction over Anoto. Anoto's motion to dismiss the case on the basis of a lack of jurisdiction, arguing that the case should be referred to the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, was initially denied by the St. Malo Commercial Court in early August. Anoto's attorneys are preparing an appeal to the Commercial Court's ruling and are optimistic about Anoto's likelihood of prevailing.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Statements

To the Board of Directors of Anoto Group AB (publ) org. nr 556532-3929

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the summary interim financial information (interim report) of Anoto Group AB (publ) for the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts act.

Financial assets that can be sold

Financial assets that can be sold are valued on the basis of level 1.

Borrowings

Borrowings are measured at amortized cost.
