CEO COMMENTS

The acquisition of Pen Generations is beginning to pay off as it is rapidly becoming the largest revenue and profit contributor for Anoto. Recent growth in our Education business in Asia has required Anoto to double the production capacity for Pen Generations pens. With continued sluggishness in Forms sales and a seasonal and transitional lull in the Notetaking business, Pen Generations is currently the brightest spot among the existing business lines.

In Q2 2017, we continued our initiatives to restructure the business and announced the closing of the Anoto KK (Japan) office. With the Japan closure, Anoto will have only two offices, one in the UK and one in Korea.

Once again, the reduction in headcount had no impact on revenue as Q2 revenue showed a 7.4% increase over Q1.

Q2 is a turning point for Anoto. The restructuring and cost saving efforts are nearly complete and the management is turning its attention to increasing sales. Anoto hosted a global Solutions Roundtable in Seoul, Korea during the last week of June at which it shared its pen roadmap and R&D. This is a demonstration of Anoto's new dedication to transparent communication and active cooperation within the extensive Anoto global partner network.

OUTLOOK

During the second half of 2017, Anoto's management will concentrate on increasing sales in the Forms and Notetaking businesses. We are also already increasing our Anoto DNA (ADNA) sales activities now that this exciting initiative is ready for commercial launch.

Having recently had the benefit of lots of time with customers, I am more convinced than ever that there is a significant market for Anoto's proprietary technology. It seems evident that in the past Anoto never tru ly made a conscious, strategically guided effort to increase the user base. It is insane to talk about market share when selling a few hundred thousand pens a year to a global population of almost 8 billion people. It is also not relevant to talk about competition with tablets as there are many areas that require a pen rather than a tablet. Starting with the Anoto Solutions Roundtable, we are now beginning to market our technology and products from scratch with a start-up mindset.

As one of our customers eloquently said, the Anoto pen is "changing everything, without changing anything." It is an instrument where training is not necessary and adoption is relatively easy. One of our key customers who is also a professor at MIT said, "An Anoto pen is not just a pen. It is a piece of precision equipment and you guys don't know it." There are substantive reasons we have customers who have stayed loyal to us for years and, in spite of poor execution in the past, they still believe in Anoto and in our technology. We are now developing to our potential.

At the beginning of July 2017, Anoto launched a convertible bond offering to secure working capital to meet increased demand and to prepare manufacturing lines and inventory for our new pen launching in the third quarter of this year. We were able to close this offering on July 21st with 32.5 MSEK raised in less than one month from the announcement to closing. We did this without the help of a securities firm and without wide-net sales activities involving a prospectus. Despite having a six-month lock-up, we were able to raise substantially more than anticipated. I believe this is a sign of investor confidence returning to Anoto. With the combination of operational profit and the proceeds from the offering, Anoto's financial position has improved significantly.

ANOTO GROUP IN THE SECOND QUARTER 2017

					QUARTERLY REPORT
ANOTO GROUP IN THE SECOND QUARTER 2017 Total sales in the quarter amounted to 49.1 MSEK (45.8) and operating profit amounted to 6.7 MSEK
(-31.6). These quarter-over-quarter increasing sales were derived from focusing on three existing business areas rather than the thirteen business areas that were diffusing resources in the prior year. They also do not include the one-off loss-making project in Asia that inflated prior year same-quarter numbers. The structural changes recently made are producing the desired cost savings. As planned, the second quarter of 2017 shows a significant reduction (68%) in operating expenses compared to Q1 and an even larger reduction (79%) compared to the same period in 2016.
Net sales per product group	2017	2016	2017	2016	2016
MSEK	Apr-Jun	Apr-Jun	Jan-Jun	Jan-Jun	Jan-Dec
Licenses and royalties	14	2	17	5	11
Digital Pens	34	74	76	112	196
Other	1	7	2	11	29

Asia continues to provide strong growth but quarterly performance in North America, while improving, was lower than budgeted. The demand generation activities initiated toward the end of Q1 and beneficial seasonality are expected to bring North American performance back within range over the second half of the year. The global forms market continues to show significant promise but near-term sales have experienced repeated project delays. The deal pipeline in emerging markets remains full and there continue to be potentially large deployments that we expect to close starting in the remainder of 2017 and in early 2018.

Net cash flow after financial activities was 2.6 MSEK (0.4). Investments in fixed assets amounted to 7.1 MSEK (0.2) including capitalised expenses of 7.1 MSEK (0.0).

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 Q2 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.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As at 31 March, 2017, Anoto Group AB had loans from Inhye Kim, wife to CEO at Anoto, to a total value of 2.4m Singapore Dollars. These short-term loans were satisfied in Q2 through a combination of repayment and as an offset against the lender's subscription for 9.2 MSEK of Anoto convertible bonds issued in December 2016.

FINANCING

In Q2 Anoto received USD 5 million from SMark in fulfilment of an agreement reached in Q1. In this reporting quarter, Anoto also converted 29.8 MSEK of bonds issued in December 2016 and issued 220,740,740 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 will be completed by the end of Q3 of this year and should by then be delivering the full savings benefits. 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 now 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, is likely to provide the liquidity required by Anoto in 2017. This perspective takes into account the cash-on-hand as of June 30, 2017, the receipt of funds from NeoLAB in April 2017, an investment of \$5.0m by SMark in May, the July convertible bond offering, 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 June 30, 2017 Anoto Group had a total of 66 employees as compared to 96 at year-end 2016. When the already announced restructuring plans have been completed a further 23 employees will no longer be on the Group payroll.

OPTION PROGRAMS

At the 2017 Annual General Meeting on June 30, 2017, new incentive schemes for senior executives and board members were approved. The 2017/2020 incentive scheme for executives comprises a maximum of 106 million stock options and the scheme for board members comprises a maximum of 18 million stock options.

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 2,776,942,732.

TRANSACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES AFTER JUNE 30, 2017

On July 18, 2017, Anoto announced the successful placement of approximately SEK 32.5 million of senior unsecured convertible bonds due 2019. The proceeds will help give the Company the required funds to support future business operations including funds to expand production capacity in Q3 to meet increasing pen demand.

The Bonds carry no coupon, i.e. no interest will be paid, have a six-month lock-up, and a conversion price of SEK 0.13. The Bonds have been issued and will, unless previously converted, be redeemed at 100% of their principal on July 22, 2019. If all Bonds are converted, the number of shares in the

Company will increase by 250,000,000 shares, representing approximately 8.3% of the share capital and votes after dilution.

LEGAL ACTIVITIES

Anoto is currently involved in a dispute with LeapFrog Enterprises (and its affiliates), a U.S. (Delaware) company headquartered in Emeryville, California ("LeapFrog"), in Sweden.

The dispute is related to two requests for arbitration filed by LeapFrog in Sweden, the first at the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce ("SCC Arbitration") and the second at the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC Arbitration"). In both the SCC Arbitration and the ICC Arbitration, LeapFrog is seeking indemnification and defence from Anoto with respect to patent infringement claims filed by Celebrate LLC in U.S. federal court in Delaware. On December 19, 2016, both Parties agreed to a six-month voluntary stay of both the ICC Arbitration and SCC Arbitration proceedings, which were accepted by the authorities, in order to explore an amicable resolution to the issues in both cases. In early June, the Parties further agreed to extend the voluntary stay of both proceedings for an additional three months, through mid-September. Currently, Anoto and LeapFrog (through LeapFrog's corporate parent, VTech) are in advanced commercial discussions regarding several topics, and Anoto is optimistic that a favorable settlement to this dispute will be reached with LeapFrog in the third quarter of 2017.

A former Anoto employee has filed a civil lawsuit against the Company in Los Angeles, CA, alleging wrongful termination, unpaid wages/expenses and gender discrimination. After Anoto successfully removed this case to U.S. federal court, the Parties have commenced pre-trial discovery. Anoto believes the former employee's claims are meritless and intends to defend the case vigorously. A mandatory settlement conference (MSC) between the Parties, required by law, was held in March but did not produce a settlement The Parties completed discovery proceedings on May 8, 2017, and Anoto is currently preparing a motion for summary judgment and dismissal of the case this summer.

Anoto is also 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 attorneys have moved for dismissal of the case, arguing that the case should be referred to the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce. The St. Malo Commercial Court was expected to issue its decision on June 27, but has postponed the hearing date until August 1.

Estimation of fair value

Accounts receivable and accounts payable

For accounts receivable and accounts payable with a remaining life of less than six months, recorded amount is deemed to reflect fair value. Accounts receivable and accounts payable with a due time over six months are discounted at the time of determining the fair value.

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.
