EXPLANATORY NOTE

Signal Genetics, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment No.1”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2016, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 16, 2016 (the “Original Form 10-Q”), to add the internal control over financial reporting language in the introductory portion of paragraph 4 and 4(b) of the certifications of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This language was inadvertently omitted from the Section 302 Certifications attached to the Original Form 10-Q. Because no financial statements are contained within this Amendment No.1, paragraph 3 of the Section 302 Certifications has been omitted. The corrected Section 302 Certifications are attached to this Amendment No. l as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise indicated herein, this Amendment No.1 continues to speak as of the date of the Original Form 10-Q, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to the date of the Original Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-Q and the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q. The filing of this Amendment No. 1 is not an admission that the Original Form 10-Q, when filed, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.
