Message from the CEO

Rosemary Cunningham Thomas, President and CEO Episurf Medical.

Our business progress is underpinned by a consensus of opinion amongst our surgeons that Episealer® is an optimal treatment for the gap patient

Dear Shareholder,

I am delighted to say that in line with our 2016 strategic priority of consistent commercial execution, Episurf Medical continues to demonstrate steady growth and an accelerating acceptance of Episealer®'s clinical efficacy for the gap patient, which in large is made up out of the middleaged patients who are too young for a knee replacement but has failed early biological treatments.

Our work with leading knee cartilage repair surgeons is driving early adoption amongst their peers and this is evidenced by increasing demand for the Episealer® procedure. It has been extremely important for us to partner with the right surgeons and to get experts in the field to develop confidence in the procedure. One mistake young med-tech companies sometimes make is to push their technology into the hands of everyone – I have seen companies do this and later experience serious problems. We have minimized this risk by taking a controlled ap-

We have 7 patients who have passed 3 years since surgery, 20 patients who have passed 2 years, and 62 patients who have passed 1 year post surgery. The results remains very strong with a zero percent revision rate and universal improvements in pain, mobility and quality of life. Our portfolio mix is shifting towards increasing demand for the Episealer® Femoral Twin implant, meaning we can treat more elongated lesions in the condyle and trochlea areas of the femur.

I shall continue summarizing development in the third quarter of 2016:

» In addition to implants and Epioscopy™ requests, we are reporting on a new metric, approved orders. These are orders which have been approved for surgery, are in production and will be invoiced. We know we have little control or influence over implant surgery dates. We therefore believe that reporting approved implants prospectively is the best way to demonstrate our growing order book. It should be

"Once we reach the tipping point, things can happen very quickly. "

proach and doing things very carefully, very methodically, and by partnering with the right doctors.

Following an intense start to the summer months as measured by the number of Epioscopy™ requests, our 3D-based pre-surgical damage marking process, the European vacation period, when both surgeons and patients are away, contributed to slightly lower activity in August and early September. This is a normal seasonal occurrence which we anticipated.

September was a very productive month for the company. We exceeded the total 2015 implant number, participated in 3 major clinical meetings including hosting Episurf Medical's first ever educational symposium at the International Cartilage Repair Society meeting in Italy.

noted that this is an accepted industry metric for manufacturers of patient specific implants. We finished Q3 with 28 new approved orders in production represents a growth of 75% compared to the same period last year.

  • » 17 surgeries were performed during the quarter, which represents growth of 55% compared to the same period of last year. The cumulative implant portfolio at the end of Q3 amounted to 125 implants, which is 116% higher than the end of the third quarter 2015. When publishing this report, the portfolio amounted to 138 implants.
  • » We received 58 Epioscopy™ requests during the third quarter, which represents growth of 115% compared to the corresponding period of last year. During the first 9 months of 2016 we received 152 Epioscopy™ requests,

which well exceeds the total number of requests received during the full previous year (82). We know that upward of 75% of our Epioscopy™ requests convert to approved orders and later an Episealer®.

Clinical engagement

One highlight during the third quarter was Episurf Medical's participation and podium presentations at 3 high profile European orthopedic meetings: the AGA in Basel Switzerland where Dr. Leif Ryd presented 2-year data, the Royal Society of Medicine in London where Dr. Tobias Jung presented on the use of Epioscopy™ damage marking process to assess cartilage damage, and Episurf Medical's first educational symposium at the ICRS meeting in Italy. The symposium had an internationally recognized faculty compromised of Tim Spalding, Mats Brittberg and Adam Mitchell. Over 75 delegates attended. The symposium addressed the treatment gap between failed biology and arthroplasty. Dr. Leif Ryd presented Episurf Medical's latest clinical data, which shows marked improvement from pre– op through to 24 months. In a separate abstract presentation that was attended by over 60 delegates, Dr. Anders Stålman presented 'A customized femoral resurfacing metal implant for focal chondral lesions–short-term results of the first ten patients.'

Our regulatory work and reimbursement

Episurf had a pre-submission meeting in Washington with the FDA in July 2016. Following the meeting, we are continuing our regulatory planning dialogue with the FDA in advance of a formal submission. Our ambition is to make a formal submission during 2017. The US reimbursement project to assess both the Medicare/Medicaid and private insurer payment landscapes for Episealer® was completed in Q3 and we are evaluating the best approach to secure reimbursement. It is our ambition to run the FDA and reimbursement processes in parallel.

Our European reimbursement project was completed in Q3 and based on this we will continue our work towards achieving improved re-imbursement in our European key markets.

Process improvements

Whilst we are very capital efficient, in terms of our commitment to improving our gross margin and reaching breakeven in due course, we are initiating several efficiency and investment projects designed to improve production efficiency, streamline logistics and decrease the sales cycle.

Concluding remarks

We are still building volumes and it takes time. I am asked constantly: When will you to reach the tipping point and enter the mainstream? Compared with other early stage medtech companies, I am pleased with the sales progression we have achieved in a market that is difficult to break in to. We are commercializing a novel technology, in a previously difficult to treat patient group, in a traditionally conservative sector – orthopaedic implants.

It is hard to say exactly when the tipping point will come. It could be at 500 implants, or 750 or 1,000, but we are building the business toward that goal. Once we reach the tipping point, things can happen very quickly.

In conclusion, we have great confidence in the business opportunity. Our ambition is to achieve 10% penetration of the treatment market for Grade III-IV knee cartilage lesions. This equates to approximately 30,000 implants per annum globally.

We know Episurf Medical is performing very well compared to med-tech peers in terms of cash efficiency, the ability to generate early revenue, time to regulatory approval and clinical adoption. This, coupled with a highly focused commercialization strategy, constantly improving results, a growing order book and the right team, puts the company in a strong position to deliver long term shareholder value and dominate a new market space for the treatment of early stage cartilage lesions.

Rosemary Cunningham Thomas, CEO November 2016, London, United Kingdom

Business update and forward-looking statements

By the reporting date on 4 November 2016, Episurf Medical's implants had been used in 138 surgeries in humans, all with successful outcomes, and Episurf Medical continues to have a 0% revision rate. The fourth quarter started well with 13 surgeries performed in the first weeks. As illustrated by the clinical scores (KOOS and VAS, shown on page 4), Episurf Medical's patients are experiencing significant improvements in pain and mobility. Furthermore, they are also experiencing a short recovery time. Out of the total implant portfolio of 138 implants, 4 implants are now past 3.5 years since the surgery date. A total of 7 patients have had their implants for more than 3 years. A total of 20 patients have had their implants for more than 2 years and Episurf Medical can conclude that these clinical outcomes are highly successful.

Episurf Medical believes there is a strengthening correlation between the pre-surgical assessment provided by the Epioscopy™ damage marking process, combined with our proprietary Episealer® implant design, and the corresponding 0% revision rate. Use of the Epioscopy™ damage marking report offers a form a pre-surgical quality control that contributes to appropriate patient selection and we believe this will be borne out as more Episealer® patients reach yearly milestones.

The number of Epioscopy™ damage markings requests coming in via µiFidelity® amounted to 58 (27) for the third quarter, which indicates an increasing market interest in Episurf Medical's products among surgeons in prioritized markets. However, as Episurf Medical is working with a limited number of surgeons, the vacation periods in Europe impacted the volume growth of damage marking requests in the third quarter. Episurf Medical is expecting a continued increase in activity going forward. A high proportion of Epioscopy™ damage marking requests convert to surgeon-approved Episealer® treatment plans. The final treatment decision is always made by the referring surgeon and after that, it can take some time before the surgery date is fixed. Often, there is a lead time of several months before the surgery can take place and this very natural lead time impacts the figures, especially as Episurf Medical is still in an early stage of commercializing a novel technology into the orthopaedic industry. During the third quarter, 28 such orders were approved by surgeons. Following approval, the implant is being invoiced and the production process starts and the surgery date is booked.

Number

"For the first time in 25 years I could run again with no pain or swelling"

…41-year-old Nicklas from Sweden has suffered from knee pain for more than 2 decades. Prior to asking for the Episealer® treatment he had undergone 6 procedures with no lasting effect, resulting in decreasing quality of life and constant pain. Last week, he finished a 10 km race, without feeling any pain or swelling…

Nicklas Rudsten visits Episurf Medical's office and takes the opportunity to go for a run with Episurf Medical Senior Medical Advisor Leif Ryd. Episurf Medical's engineering team shows Nicklas how his lesion was analyzed through the Epioscopy 3D damage marking process and how his implant was designed.

Introduction

We have reviewed the summary interim financial information (interim report) of Episurf Medical AB (publ) as of 30 September 2016 and the nine-month period then ended. 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and

other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe thatthe interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, 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.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting policies

The interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reports and the Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

The Group's accounting policies are unchanged from the previous year.

Capitalized expenditures for development of products

Expenditure for development, where research results or other knowledge are applied to achieve new or improved products or processes, is recognized as an asset in the Statement of Financial Position only if the following conditions are satisfied:

  • 1) It is technically possible to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it,
  • 2) The Company intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it,
  • 3 The conditions to use or sell the intangible asset are in place,
  • 4) The Company demonstrates how the intangible asset will generate likely future economic benefits,

  • 5) There are adequate technological, economic and other resources to complete development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and

  • 6) The expenditure relating to the intangible asset during its development can be measured reliably.

Directly related expenditure that is capitalized mainly consists of expenditure from subcontractors and expenses for employees.

Other development expenditure that does not satisfy these criteria is expensed when it arises. Development expenditure previously expensed is not recognized as an asset in subsequent periods. The Group has assessed all of the above criteria to be fulfilled during the period, and the development costs that have been incurred have therefore been capitalized.

Episurf Medical

– a unique solution for every patient

Episurf Medical was founded in 2009 on a commitment to offering people with painful joint injuries a more active and healthy life through customized treatment alternatives. We put the patient in the center of the diagnosis and design of implants and surgical instruments. By combining advanced 3D imaging technology with the latest manufacturing technology, we are able to adapt not only each implant to the patient's injury and anatomy, but also the surgical instruments used. In this way we can ensure that each patient receives treatment that is perfectly suited to his or her anatomy and, thus, ensure a faster, more secure and better patient-specific treatment for a more active and healthy life.
