Comments from Jan Richardsson, CEO, Dignitana AB (publ)

Q2 has shown consistent order intake and an increased quotation pipeline.

Since the start of Dignitana, Inc. we have signed contracts with 32 hospitals
and placed well over 40 systems in the US. We see a great interest from doctors,
nurses and patients but sometimes the legal and insurance process with the
hospital takes time which can delay signing. The number of treatments are
growing month by month.

The business model has been accepted (lease + pay-per-treatment), it will
gradually grow our revenues on a long term basis. All our hospitals where we
have installed DigniCap are up and running, but not all of them in full scale
yet. Scalp cooling is a new treatment for the hospitals and they need to
establish their internal routines as well as invoicing procedure towards the
patients.

We have recently installed four New York hospitals which is important since
installations in New York will give media coverage. We are continuing to focus
our sales activities on comprehensive cancer centers and cooperation’s which
manage infusion centers.

We have used this quarter to further develop our US organization in order to
provide both our partner sites and their patients with the level of support they
require. We have employed a very experienced and respected oncology nurse in
order to support our sales team and the clinical staff at each of our
installations. We have employed our own marketing person who supports the
hospitals marketing the new the scalp cooling method among their patients. We
have also brought on as a consultant an experienced health care professional who
is supporting in getting the contracts negotiated and signed.

The process of getting scalp cooling reimbursed continues and we are slowly
working our way through the insurance system. So far the hospitals have priced
the treatments at approximately 500 USD/treatment.

The rights issue was successful and we secured 52,5 MSEK through one rights
issue to existing shareholders and two private placements. The rights issue was
oversubscribed by 75%. We attracted a new major American investor into our
investor roster, Hodges Capital Management, this shows the potential that
investors see in our company.
