SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - August 29, 2016) - Lattice Biologics Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: LBL) (OTCBB: BLVKF) ("Lattice Biologics" or the "Company") announces financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2016:

Third Quarter Financial Results (all figures denoted in USD):
The Company strategy of focusing its sales on its new cutting edge and recently launched acellular dermis and putty product lines has been successful with 70 new surgeons added to the Company's client base during the first three quarters of fiscal 2016. The higher margin acellular dermal products sales grew 355% quarter over quarter and DBM putty's sales grew 135% quarter over quarter. The product launches have been well received by surgeons and the Company continues to expect expanded adoption of its products by the new surgeons. Lattice Biologics' total revenue was $972,320 in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $914,556 in the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 6% year over year growth, as shown in the following quarter sales table:

"I am extremely pleased with our efforts to recruit new surgeons, significantly advance our R&D efforts for the precision cancer diagnostic tool, and repositioning our strategic product mix by launching seven new products this quarter that fill unmet clinical needs for our surgeons," states CEO Guy Cook. "We have the most adaptable and responsive development team I've ever been part of in biologics. I am very proud of all of the Lattice team members that help drive innovation. This responsiveness and positive surgeon feedback will enable Lattice to meets its financial objectives in the near term."

Also during the first three quarters of fiscal 2016, Lattice Biologics increased its total number of direct hospital approvals from 18 to over 200, including preferred vendor status with the Veterans Health Administration, while several new hospital approvals are pending.

The Company continues to make significant improvements on the balance sheet, and is working with creditors to convert certain balances to equity for working capital purposes. The Company completed a $500,000 USD private placement on August 8^th, 2016.

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. Due to unexpectedly high demand from recent product launches, and an expected new private label partnership with a national spinal implant company, Lattice Biologics is in the process of quadrupling its throughput capacity. Throughput capacity at the current facility is approximately $60-70mm/year.

As indicated above, the Company continues efforts to diversify the sales mix across the new higher margin product lines added in 2015 and 2016.

2016 Business Update:
The Company remains focused on raising additional capital to: assist with its working capital constraint; fulfill open purchase orders; launch of the Company's new product lines; and support R&D efforts. Appropriate working capital conditions will allow the Company to expand current operations by accepting and processing a greater number of donors each month and also to launch new higher-margin product lines. If Lattice Biologics is successful in its financing efforts, the Company expects to be cash flow positive by the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

Furthermore, Lattice Biologics is proactively working to complete key additions to its Scientific Advisory Boards (SABs) which are comprised of strategic Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in each of the Company's targeted surgical specialties. These professionals play a significant role in influencing industry perception and opinion and can be instrumental in the recruitment of new surgeon partners and generation of critical clinical data.
