Comments from the CEO

LAUNCHING LIVE PDF

Revenues in the second quarter were lower than expected both within Business Solutions and Technology Licensing, despite optimistic forecasts by our partners during the first quarter. Total revenues were MSEK 54 compared with MSEK 57 in the first quarter. Gross margin in the second quarter was 69% compared with 71% in the first quarter. The net loss was MSEK 7.7 and the cash flow was a disappointing minus MSEK 9.4. C Technologies met expectations and delivered long awaited larger volumes primarily to its OEM customer within e-banking, Crealogix AG.

Since the acquisition of the Xpaper technology from Talario in January 2012 we have been working to incorporate Talario's document printing and document capture components in addition to supporting web services. The product, named LIVE PDF™, is now ready for launch and will be shipped with all pens for business solutions from the end of the third quarter. Live PDF™ enables people to gather information on paper, easily digitize it, share that information instantly, update information live, and automatically distribute it to individuals and databases. LIVE PDF™ is the first in a series of LIVE products from Anoto.

We continue discussions with our partners within Business Solutions to align resources and interests. The objective is to leverage their expertise, customer references and presence within different market segments and to build relationships with more independent software vendors, value added resellers and system integrators. This is starting to happen especially within healthcare, field service and insurance, where larger companies want to embed digital pen data capture solutions with their enterprise systems.

The healthcare sector in the UK is currently our strongest market. However in the second quarter we also saw a broadening of our business to other segments and regions like South Africa and South America. A major automotive company in Korea has run pilots and is set to launch a digital pen and paper solution for quality inspections in manufacturing plants. The first two installations are scheduled to start in October with further installations at four additional manufacturing plants to start by the end of this year.

Business area Technology Licensing was behind expectations also in the second quarter. However, we are pleased to see that our joint venture partner TStudy, is starting to roll out interactive classroom solutions. So far their Symphony application has, in addition to installations in private schools, also been adopted by 30 public schools in Korea, expected to surpass 100 installations of Symphony in public schools by the end of this year. In China, TStudy has set up permanent product showrooms in Shanghai and is planning to open a showroom in Beijing by the end of August. Our partner Dai Nippon Printing is actively marketing interactive classroom solutions with broad media coverage in Japan.

Our UK subsidiary Destiny Wireless Ltd launched INKWORKS™ in the second quarter, a new and innovative cloud based digital data capture system. This new system provides a fully scalable single platform incorporating digital pen functionality that for the first time will allow users to design and publish their own digital forms. INKWORKS™ also provides clients with the ability to directly manage users, groups, workflows and centrally manage mobile handset configurations.

Operating expenses were MSEK 2 above target in the second quarter, partly due to extra costs related to the development of new pens together with moving supply chain management to Hong Kong. The purpose of moving the supply chain management is to get a closer relationship to our component suppliers and manufacturing partners. This is one of several ongoing activities to improve the operational control.

Outlook

Based upon current activity and ongoing projects we expect a gradual business improvement in the second half of the year. We also expect our cash flow and balance sheet to improve gradually. Anoto´s cash position is expected to be sufficient to support our business throughout the rest of the year.

Stein Revelsby, CEO Anoto Group

A partner driven business model

Business Solutions

Business Solutions focuses on systems, products and services that target businesses, primarily in the field of forms processing. The offering is Pen Solutions which includes solutions for creating a form in digital format, digital processing of handwritten forms and automatic generation of a digital version of a document with handwritten signatures and notes. Anoto has an indirect business model and markets its products through partners, such as system integrators, software developers and IT consulting firms, all of which offer customized solutions with Anoto technology to their customers.

The net sales during the first six months was MSEK 38 higher than in the same period last year. Excluding entities acquired during 2011/2012 Net sales was MSEK 5 higher than in the first six months last year. The net sales in the second quarter was MSEK 16 higher than during the same period last year. Excluding entities acquired during the 2011/2012 Net sales was MSEK 2 higher that the same period last year.

An order of 5000 digital pens was received. The order is targeting Anoto key market segments in South Africa.

Destiny Wireless' successful pilot at Mid Essex NHS Trust is now pushing ahead with a rollout of pens for various applications that include pharmacy prescriptions and collecting survey & audit data of patients. It is also possible that the rollout will be extended to maternity community midwives. Further, the first order from Rentokil Initial was received and following a successful pilot and an agreement to rollout within their Fire Inspection division, the use of digital pens may be considered across the wider group.

Anoto Platinum partner XMS Penvision won a contract of initially 1000 digital pens for a lottery application in Africa. This is the first rollout and if successful, there are more to come.

Phase 2 rollout of the digital pen solution developed by Anoto Platinum partner, DevelopIQ, for the Gwent National Frailty Programme in Wales continued in the quarter. Significant acceleration of this expansion is anticipated in 2012-2013. Demand for digital pen solutions from Maternity teams across the NHS (National Health Service) in the UK is also growing very strongly and DevelopIQ is currently engaged with over 10 Trusts on either pilots or for the delivery of digital pen systems before the end of the year.

A contract was signed with Helping Hands, which is a private healthcare company in the UK. Strategically this is a very important contract since it provides opportunities with 46 hospitals with the largest private healthcare provider in the UK.

The adoption of Electronic Health Record (EHR) is accelerating in the US, and several Anoto partners facilitate adoption with training-free, easy-to-use digital pen solutions. NexGen Healthcare sees continued growth with their digital pen solution within Specialty Physician Practices including deployments with Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute.

Destiny Wireless launched INKWORKS™, a new and innovative cloud based digital data capture system. This new system provides a fully scalable single platform incorporating digital pen functionality that will allow users to design and publish their own digital forms. INKWORKS™ also provides clients with the ability to directly manage users, groups, workflows and centrally manage mobile handset configurations.

Technology Licensing

Customers within Technology Licensing develop and sell products based on technology and digital pens provided by Anoto. The main offering is Interactive solutions in the education segment. Interactive solutions create a learning environment that is more oriented towards the individual and where the traditional classroom model is replaced by a more student-centric and interactive approach to teaching. Other end user products are learning toys, visual communication equipment and personal productivity solutions. End product customers are individual consumers as well as enterprises.

The net sales during the first six months was MSEK 21 below the same period last year. Net sales in the second quarter was MSEK 7 below the same period last year.

Anoto fulfilled a substantial order of pens from PolyVision to be used with PolyVision's Eno Whiteboards.

Anoto and Livescribe continue to work closely together to evaluate the introduction of the Livescribe Pen family into Anoto Business Solutions.

Production and delivery of the recently launched digital pen, ADP601, continued according to plan during the second quarter together with Pen Generations in Korea.
