Comments from the CEO

STAY TUNED

Revenues in the first quarter was MSEK 43 compared to MSEK 46 for the fourth
quarter 2014. Gross margin was 59% compared to 66% in the fourth quarter.
Operating expenses were MSEK 37 in the first quarter compared to MSEK 34 in the
fourth quarter 2014. EBITDA was MSEK -12 compared to MSEK -8 in the fourth
quarter 2014. Cash flow for the quarter was MSEK 29, including net proceeds of
MSEK 33 from the private placement in March.

Operating expenses were higher in Q1 compared to the previous quarter due to
the extra resources, consultants, materials and testing related to the large
OEM project that has been needed to meet tight deadlines and the increasing
scope of the project. Gross margin was lower due to the decision to offset 100%
of the NRE revenue with the associated development costs.

70% of revenues in the quarter came from Anoto Enterprise Solutions, including
the largest digital pen contract in the UK within healthcare to date. The deal
that was led by Vodafone UK is for 1700 pens and software to ambulance crews
across Wales.

We-Inspire Inc. sold its first 5 systems in the US and strengthened its sales
resources by the signing of two new resellers and the hiring of a sales manager
at the LA office. In Europe we are also implementing a reseller program for
We-Inspire, GmbH.

Sales to customers within Technology Licensing were lower than expected when a
delivery to TStudy slipped into Q2.

Anoto introduced its first large format interactive display prototype, a 65”
UHD 4K display with touch and precision pen input at the ISE tradeshow in
February. We are now working with partners to do a commercial launch of a
similar product at InfoComm Expo in June. We expect the market for large
displays to grow fast when businesses are starting to convert from projectors
to interactive displays in meeting rooms and board rooms.

OUTLOOK

Anoto Enterprise Solutions had a good start to the year and the Welsh Ambulance
contract generated significant press coverage and new leads in the UK for
similar solutions. There are in total 13 ambulance trusts in the UK so this
market vertical alone represents a large opportunity. In the UK we also hired a
new sales manager starting May 4th. In addition we announced a large contract
in India. As previously mentioned in the Q4 2014 report there is a large
opportunity in Japan. Overall, the growth prospect for 2015 within Enterprise
Solutions looks very promising.

Contract negotiations with the large OEM customer is going in parallel with
product development and we expect to make an announcement later in Q2.

Panasonic sales has so far been a disappointment but we expect sales to pick up
with the release of the upgraded versions Toughpad 4K Standard at a 50% price
reduction and the more powerful Toughpad 4K Performance.

Within education the order back log from China and Korea has strengthened
significantly over the last few months and we expect larger volumes in the
coming quarters.
