In Q3 we finalized the development of the Touchpen for Panasonic's Toughpad 4K 20" tablet computer. This product is the first tablet with embedded Anoto technology for digital writing. The high performance and accuracy is a proof of what Anoto can offer to partners for freehand sketching, handwriting on screens similar to writing on paper. Panasonic exhibited the product at the large trade shows IFA in Berlin and CEATEC in Japan in September, and since then there has been extensive coverage and good reviews.
Revenues in Q3 were MSEK 33 compared to MSEK 35 in Q2. Gross margin was 73% compared to 70% in Q2. Operating costs were MSEK 47 in Q3 compared to MSEK 56 in Q2. We completed the re-organization in Sweden with the reduction of 35 positions, including a reduction of 6 positions in the subsidiary C-Technologies. The OPEX savings will be approximately MSEK 35 p.a. with full effect from January 1st . Because of slow sales in Q2 and Q3 we secured a bridge loan of MSEK 13 for the financing of working capital and pen inventory.
TStudy signed a large contract with China Publishing Group for 100,000 pens over a 3 year period and entered into a two year exclusive distribution agreement with Anoto subject to performance.
We signed a large contract for Anoto Live Forms with a leading provider of home care services in the UK. The first order is for 500 users with the potential for expansion in the coming 12 months.
In the US we signed a contract with a major airline for use of a digital pen solution at their pilots and flights attendants training center. Inflight trainers are required by the US Federal Aviation Administration to document the performance of tasks by the staff members and certify that they are in compliance to assure their continued employment.
Our strategy going forward for Business Solutions is to focus on healthcare in the UK where we already have a strong presence and the business momentum is increasing with the availability of funds from the NHS to finance investments in technology. In other developed markets we focus on segments where digital writing technology has a clear advantage due to mandatory requirements, for example physical documents signatures in banking. The third target area is emerging markets like Turkey, Africa and India where digital writing technology offers ease of use in environments with less developed infrastructure. We will continue to work closer with selected partners in each of these markets to align interests and co-ordinate activities in marketing, sales and support.
After close of the third quarter we have secured an arrangement with an underwriting consortium for a share rights issue of 65 MSEK. The funds will be used for repayment of short term liabilities as well as to secure financial stability going forward. OPEX will be reduced gradually during Q4. Our main focus is to optimize resource allocation, realize synergies between operating units and bring the company to profitability. Based upon our unique ability to provide natural digital writing input and interactivity on analog as well as digital surfaces, we see a large potential to expand business with existing partners as well as the ability to attract new partners.

Anoto's business is organized in three business areas: Business Solutions, Technology Licensing (education, note taking, voting, screens) and C Technologies.

Business Solutions focuses on systems, products and services that target businesses, primarily in the field of forms processing and data capture. 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.
Net sales during the quarter amounted to MSEK 19 which was MSEK 2 below the third quarter previous year. We shipped 4,300 pens to partners and customers within business solutions in the third quarter.
In the UK we signed a large contract for Anoto Live Forms with a home care organization. Our technology keeps building momentum and shows that it e.g. fits the requirements of midwives and frees up time for care. During Q3 we integrated Anoto's acquisitions Ubisys and Develop IQ into Anoto Ltd. The new organization has been aligned to the market and is ready to for example seize the opportunities driven by the NHS Technology Funds.
Mears Group with its 16,000 employees providing homecare support to around 20,000 elderly and vulnerable people annually, invested in Inkworks® in order to improve their processes and enhance customer satisfaction.
In Germany we signed a contract for 500 pens in the Field services / Facilities management market where our technology has shown its value for many customers. Through our partner XMS, we implemented 400 pens in a large medical test project in the Middle East.
In the USA we signed up a contract with one of the major airlines. The airline will use digital pens at their training facilities for the evaluation forms for pilots and flight attendants. Anoto's presence in the healthcare market expanded with approximately 500 users via partners Shareable Ink, InfoMax, Nextgen and Doctor.com. Objective Lune signed up a contract for 275 pens for inspection of freezer systems where our technology ideally fits in a tough environment.

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. Since 2012 Anoto has established two new application areas together with partners; voting solutions and digital writing solutions for screens.
Net sales during the period were MSEK 11, which is 10 MSEK lower than the same period last year.
In Q3 we finalized the development of the Touchpen for Panasonic's Toughpad 4K 20" tablet computer. This product is the first tablet with embedded Anoto technology for digital writing. The high performance and accuracy is a proof of what Anoto can offer to partners for freehand sketching, handwriting on screens similar to writing on paper. Panasonic exhibited the product at the large trade shows IFA in Berlin and CEATEC in Japan in September, and since then there has been extensive coverage and good reviews. The strong demand for digital writing functionality combined with multi touch displays has opened a new and very exciting opportunity for Anoto. The development and availability of more advanced software applications for content creation, handwriting recognition and intelligent ink conversion will further strengthen this trend.
Anoto's partner TStudy continues to expand their operations in China. In Q3 TStudy signed a large contract with China Publishing Group for 100,000 pens over a 3 year period and entered into a two year exclusive distribution agreement with Anoto subject to performance. TStudy's strategy is to partner with leading distributors in each market vertical within education and business. Although promising outlook going forward product deliveries are below expectations in Q3.
Anoto's partner Steelcase (Polyvision) has ordered more pens for interactive whiteboard applications following a period of inventory adjustments.

C Technologies develops, manufactures and sells C-Pen®, a handheld scanner solution with character recognition software. The C-Pen captures printed information such as text, numbers and codes, decodes the information and transfers it to computers and smartphones. The products are made available through the C-Pen brand and as OEM-branded versions.
Net sales during the period were MSEK 3 which is MSEK 2 lower than during the third quarter last year.
Following several quarters of weak sales we have, during the quarter, implemented a downsizing of the C Technologies business, including a reduction in personnel by six positions. The remaining staff will focus on support to OEM customers and selling of the inventory built up during the first six months following a change of contract manufacturer.

As a pure holding company, Anoto Group AB has a limited number of corporate functions.
This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and applicable parts of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act chapter 9. For information about the accounting policies applied, refer to the 2012 annual report. The accounting policies are unchanged from those applied in 2012.
At the close of the quarter, the group's total cash amounted to MSEK 4, which is a decrease by MSEK 1 compared to year-end of 2012.
In July Anoto initiated activities in order to re-size the Swedish organization to focus on hardware product development and engineering and transfer most other responsibilities to other companies within the group. Negotiations with labor unions was finalized during September and the headcount reduced by 35 people. Total annual cost savings will be approximately MSEK 35 with full effect from the beginning of next year.
In order to strengthen our short term liquidity we borrowed MUSD 2 from an international investment company to finance the large product inventory. As security for the loan, the lender has obtained collateral pledged in inventory and intellectual property.
After the end of the quarter the Board has decided to strengthen the liquidity through a MSEK 65 rights issue. The rights issue is fully secured by a consortium of investors. The net effect on the liquidity after share issue expenses is estimated to MSEK 62.
The rights issue will result in an increase of the share capital of no more than SEK 5,208,742.74 and an increase in the total number of shares of no more than 260,437,137 shares.
Notice has been sent out for an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to be held on November 15, 2013 for the purpose of obtaining an approval of the Board's decision to issue new shares with preferential rights for existing shareholders. If the EGM does not approve the rights issue, it could mean that the Group would not have sufficient liquidity to continue operations. The Board believes that shareholders will approve rights issue.
Following continued weak sales during the third quarter Anoto has experienced further challenges related to the liquidity and in order to secure the day to day cash flow we have obtained a MSEK 8 bridge funding from the guarantors of the rights issue.
With the rights issue, cost reducing activities and reduction of inventory we will be in a position where liquidity is sufficient to support the business during the coming twelve months. Hence no material uncertainty regarding going concern exists.
No significant additional risks are deemed to have arisen beyond those described in the 2012 annual report for the Anoto Group. (Please see Note 4 in the Annual report 2012 for a detailed presentation of the company's risk exposure and management.)
The largest shareholder of Anoto, Aurora Investment Ltd (owned by TStone), has been represented in the board of directors since the Annual Meeting in May 2010. Transactions with companies within the TStone group amounts to MSEK 5,2 during 2013. All transactions have been made on normal commercial conditions and at the end of the quarter there are no overdue receivables on entities within the TStone group.
The most important events after the end of the quarter have been:
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, including 10,847,740 shares issued in relation to the acquisition of Shanwell Holding Ltd, is 173,624,758.
On July 5, 2013, the EGM decided to authorize the Board the possibility to issue, shares, convertibles and warrants with a maximum dilution of 10%. There are currently no outstanding warrants.

To the Board of Directors of Anoto Group AB (publ.)
We have conducted a review of the financial information for Anoto Group AB for the period 1 January to 30 September 2013. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by FAR SRS. A review 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 significantly less scope than an audit in accordance with Auditing Standards in Sweden, RS, 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 would have been identified if an audit had been conducted. Accordingly, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial information has not, in all material respects, been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
