Comments by the CEO

Intensified partner discussions

The second quarter of 2019 was characterised by feedback from potential customers following our participation in various conferences, preparations for regulatory studies and, last but not least, intensified discussions with several possible partners for the upcoming launch of ASTar.

The European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) is the most important annual conference for Q-linea. This year it was held in Amsterdam on 13–16 April. I am proud of the fantastic feedback we received at ECCMID on ASTar. The same can be said for our participation in the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Microbe in San Francisco on 20–24 June.

We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback on our broad antibiotics panel, ASTar's flexible but simple workflow and how easy it is to start using. Potential customers in Europe and the US are equally positive, but in the US we are encountering a somewhat different customer group. Customers in the US have more automated operations and more 24-hour labs. They are especially appreciative of the simplicity and the fully automated workflow, and it is particularly gratifying to be receiving positive feedback on our development process from future customers. Since customers are already starting to plan their budgets in order to purchase the system next year, it has been important for us to be able to present the final design of our ASTar system.

When it comes to our regulatory studies, we achieved an important milestone in June when we submitted a pre-submission supplement to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as planned. The supplement contained a detailed description of how we plan to design the US study and the specifics of the trial protocol and the ASTar system. We will have a meeting with the FDA in September to hear their views on the design of the study and we will thereafter adapt the study to meet their requirements. If everything goes according to plan, we should be able to start the study at the beginning of next year. Our goal is to obtain FDA approval to market and sell the system next year.

I am happy to be leading the company and following its progress. We are methodically working through our goals and the impressive work that has been carried out throughout the company is now being reflected in our discussions with potential sales partners. These discussions intensified during the quarter and are now being conducted with some of the most attractive companies in the market. I look forward to our future partnership agreements with a sense of anticipation and optimism.

To sum up, the feedback we are receiving both from potential customers and in discussions with possible partners is incredibly motivating in our continued work to prepare ASTar for approval and market launch next year. I hope and believe that Q-linea's shareholders share our enthusiasm.
