This report includes forward-looking statements covered by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because

such statements deal with future events, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties and actual results for fiscal

year 2018 and beyond could differ materially from the Company's current expectations. Forward-looking statements,

including estimates of capacity, selling price and other material considerations, are identified by words such as

"anticipates," "projects," "expects," "plans," "intends," "believes," "estimates," "targets," and other similar expressions

that indicate trends and future events.

Factors that could cause the Company's results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements

include, without limitation, variation in demand and acceptance of the Company's products and services, the frequency,

magnitude and timing of raw-material-price changes, general business and economic conditions beyond the Company's

control, timing of the completion and integration of acquisitions, the consequences of competitive factors in the

marketplace including the ability to attract and retain customers, results of continuous improvement and other cost-

containment strategies, and the Company's success in attracting and retaining key personnel. The Company undertakes

no obligation to revise or update forward-looking statements as a result of new information, since these statements may

no longer be accurate or timely.

Thinfilm Q2 2018 Financials▪ Thinfilm saw a slight increase in sales of EAS and NFC in first

half of 2018 compared to 2017

– The rate of increase in demand for Thinfilm NFC

solutions during the quarter was more modest than

previously anticipated

– The continued reticence of brands to deploy NFC tags on-

package likely will delay Thinfilm’s ramp and progress to

cash-break-even until 2020

▪ Operational expenses saw a decrease of 5% in the first half of

2018 compared to the similar period in 2017

– Positive contributors: Improved cost control, primarily in

sheet based manufacturing

– Offsetting contributors: Increased FTEs, primarily in the

US subsidiary

▪ R2R CAPEX program on target compared to previously

communicated investment plan

– Received R2R equipment for USD 9.0 million in the first

six months of the year

– Prepayments made to equipment vendors per 30 June

2018 equal USD 9.7 million

▪ Cash balance of USD 66 million per end Q2 2018

▪ Operating cost reduction program initiated in response to

delays in qualification of R2R NFC production line and slower

than expected commercial ramp

▪ It is currently envisaged that any funding requirements will

be met by seeking a strategic equity partner.
