Comments by CEO Torben Jörgensen

The market development in the second quarter was significantly weaker than in the first quarter, above all in the separation area. Both industrial and academic customers have shown some restraint due to the uncertainty regarding to development of the global economy. This has been most obvious in Europe and the US, while Japan and "the Rest of the World" continue to show good growth.

The currency development has so far been negative for the company this year, as practically all invoicing is done in foreign currency.

During the quarter sales decreased by a little less than 5 percent to 98.6 MSEK. At comparable exchange rates sales increased by 8 percent in the quarter and by 12 percent in the first six months of the year, entirely related to the acquisitions in 2010 of MIP Technologies AB and two product lines from Caliper.

We continue to follow our strategy to cover larger geographic areas and to increase our direct sales. We are now increasing our efforts in China and Latin America. The establishment in China is in progress. Our aim is to have our own organization in a company of our own in place in Shanghai during the second half of the year. The initiative in Latin America will initially be led by our US subsidiary, where an area manager has been hired. We believe that there are good opportunities for Biotage to develop not lest our product offering in analytical chemistry in this part of the world.

Four new products were launched during the quarter, among them an upgraded version of our microwave system Initiator+. A half-automatic system for peptide synthesis, Initiator+ SP Wave, was introduced in June at the American Peptide Symposium in San Diego.

The efforts in analytical chemistry, with the aim of increasing our presence in the areas of environmental and food analysis, among others, are beginning to give results. However, our market penetration is progressing slower than planned, primarily due to the lead times required for approval of new analysis methods. The acquisition of MIP Technologies and the product lines RapidTrace® and TurboVap ® are

important components in this work. The further development of RapidTrace® and TurboVap® not only gives us access to new markets, but also increased opportunities for sales of our own consumables. For example, in the third quarter we will introduce an upgraded, automatic RapidTrace system enabling analyses with Biotage's successful SLE+ product range in all required volumes.

Concerning purification of for example food raw materials in production scale a number of development projects are run in cooperation between MIP Technologies and some major international companies. The outcome of these projects depends partly on how the environmental legislation develops in various geographic markets, partly on how efficient our products prove to be. We expect that some of the projects will lead to industrial production in 2012.

Biotage continues to have a strong financial position with net cash amounting to 180 MSEK at June 30. The cash flow continues to be positive and during the quarter the company has paid a total of 31 MSEK in dividends to shareholders and for repurchasing own shares.

We continue the work to find suitable candidates for cooperation agreements or acquisitions.

Major events

Patent dispute in the US

Biotage has, as previously reported, been sued for patent infringement in the US. The lawsuit was filed by Scientific Plastic Products, Inc. regarding alleged infringement of US patents 7,138,061, 7,381,327 and 7,410,571 and concerns Biotage's sales of the SNAP product line in the US.

Biotage has filed an application to the US Patent and Trademark Office applying for re-examination of the validity of all the patent demands in the patents concerned. At the same time Biotage submitted a request that the infringement case in the court should be declared resting awaiting the outcome of the re-examination proceedings. The court approved Biotage's request to declare the infringement case resting.

The US Patent and Trademark Office has later declared all patent demands in US patents 7,138,061 and 7,381,327 invalid. The decisions have been appealed by Scientific Plastic Products, Inc. A decision from the US Patent and Trademark Office regarding the third patent is expected later this year.

Biotage continues to believe that the company has a strong position and that the other party lacks support for the alleged patent infringement. The decisions by the US Patent and Trademark Office confirm our assessment of the legal situation.

(*) Repurchased shares, cancellation of repurchased shares and bonus issue

At the Annual General Meeting on April 27, 2009 and the Annual General Meeting on April 29, 2010 the Board was authorized to repurchase the company's shares to the extent that the holding of own shares at most amounts to 10 percent of the total number of shares issued. During the period September 2009 to December 2010 the company thus repurchased a total of 8, 848, 632 shares, corresponding to 10.0 percent of the company's total shares issued.

At the Annual General Meeting on April 27, 2011 it was resolved that the repurchased shares should be canceled.

As a consequence of the cancellation, the company's share capital decreased by 8,849 KSEK to 79,638 KSEK.

The number of shares was reduced from 88,486,320 to 79,637,688. The AGM on April 27, 2011 also resolved that the company should carry out a bonus issue and thereby increase the company's share capital by 9,557 KSEK to 89,194 KSEK without issuing any new shares.

After the cancellation of repurchased shares and the bonus issue the number of shares is 79,637,688 with a quota value of 1.12 SEK. The AGM on April 27, 2011 further resolved to authorize the Board to carry out a new repurchasing program comprising a maximum total of 10 percent of the company's outstanding shares, i.e. a total of 7,963,769 shares. At the balance sheet day June 30, 2011 the company has, in accordance with this authorization, repurchased 1,580,400 shares at an average share price of 6.89 SEK.

Accounting principles

The Group's interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and the Swedish Accounting Act. The parent company's interim report is prepared in accordance with the Swedish Accounting Act and The Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2.3 Reporting for legal entities.

Revised or new standards, interpretations or statements from standard-setting bodies for IFRS within the EU coming into effect on January 1, 2011 have not had any effect on the Group's financial reporting, as these have not been relevant to Biotage AB in the current situation.
