Q2 2019 Business Update:

“I am pleased to announce that the Company has had three quarters of
successive growth culminating in the second quarter 2019 sales of $
751,084,” said Guy Cook, CEO of Lattice Biologics Ltd. We are restating
guidance of revenues to be $ 2.2-2.4 million for 2019.

With strong distribution partners and an enhanced product line intended
for dental indications, we expect sales to continue to grow throughout
2019. Operationally, the company is much more efficient and has lowered
its operating and overhead costs to effectively compete in the dental
market space.

As we continue to focus to higher margin product line, and to
re-position the Amnioboost line for dental indications, we are confident
we have turned the corner and positioned the company for profitable and
continued growth.

The Company continues to make significant improvements on the PnL, and
is working with creditors to convert certain debt balances to equity for
working capital purposes.

Lattice Biologics maintains its commitment to honoring the gift of
donation by implementing a strong quality control environment for the
recovery and processing of donors. The Company has significantly
increased its processing efficiencies, and has substantial inventory
reserves to meet customer demand.

As indicated below, the Company continues efforts to diversify the sales
mix across the new higher margin product lines added in prior years.
