NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

Nemaura Medical Inc. (“Nemaura” or the “Company”), through its operating subsidiaries, performs medical device research and manufacturing of a continuous glucose monitoring system (“CGM”), named sugarBEAT®. The sugarBEAT® device is a non-invasive, wireless device for use by persons with Type I and Type II diabetes and may also be used to screen pre-diabetic patients. The sugarBEAT® device extracts analytes, such as glucose, to the surface of the skin in a non-invasive manner where it is measured using unique sensors and interpreted using a unique algorithm.

Nemaura is a Nevada holding company organized in 2013. Nemaura owns 100% of the stock in Dermal Diagnostic (Holdings) Limited, an England and Wales corporation (“DDHL”) formed on December 11, 2013, which in turn owns 100% of Dermal Diagnostics Limited, an England and Wales corporation formed on January 20, 2009 (“DDL”), and 100% of Trial Clinic Limited, an England and Wales corporation formed on January 12, 2011 (“TCL”).

DDL is a diagnostic medical device company headquartered in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England, and is engaged in the discovery, development, and commercialization of diagnostic medical devices. The Company’s initial focus has been on the development of the sugarBEAT® device, which consists of a disposable patch containing a sensor, and a non-disposable miniature wireless transmitter with a re-chargeable power source, which is designed to enable trending or tracking of blood glucose levels. All of the Company’s operations and assets are located in England.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the Board of Directors assessed the adequacy of the group’s organizational structure and concluded that the intermediate holding company that sat below Nemaura Medical Inc., Region Green Limited (a British Virgin Islands corporation), was no longer required as the entity had been effectively dormant since inception and no longer represented a requirement to be maintained. It was therefore determined that Region Green Limited should be unwound, with the intention that the assets held by Region Green Limited be transferred up to Nemaura Medical Inc. following which Region Green Limited would be dissolved.

The transfer of assets took place on March 5, 2021 and Region Green Limited was formally dissolved as of April 23, 2021.

 

The following diagram illustrates Nemaura’s corporate structure as of December 31, 2022:

 

 

 

8 
 

The Company was incorporated in 2013 and has reported recurring losses from operations to date and an accumulated deficit of $47,192,364 as of December 31, 2022. These operations have resulted in the successful completion of clinical programs to support a CE mark (European Union (“EU”) approval of the product) approval, as well as a De Novo 510(k) medical device application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) submission.

 

The Company expects to continue to incur losses from operations until revenues are generated through licensing fees or product sales. However, given the completion of the requisite clinical programs, these losses are expected to decrease over time. Management has entered into licensing, supply, or collaboration agreements with unrelated third parties relating to the United Kingdom (“UK”), Europe, Qatar, and all countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council.

 

Going Concern

As identified under Item 1A, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC, management is aware of the need to raise additional funds in order to finance the ongoing commercialization of sugarBEAT®. The Company had $7,340,840 of cash at December 31, 2022. The Company has debt on its balance sheet which will reach maturity in July 2024.

 

In evaluating the going concern position of the Company, management has considered the ability of the Company to raise additional funding in combination with one or more of the different funding options available to it at this time.  Based on current and ongoing engagement with potential funding providers, management believes that there is a reasonable expectation that funding could be provided by one, or more, of the following options:

 

Equity funding – the Company has immediate access to funds through the ATM facility that is currently in place; in addition to this, there are various alternative mechanisms available to the Company similar to those used previously e.g. direct sale of shares to interested third parties, as well as other mechanisms to sell common stock via an underwritten agreement or the further exercise of warrants by the current warrant holders etc. The Company completed a Registered Direct Offering and concurrent Private Placement in January 2023 which has increased cash by $7,655,974.

Debt funding – the Company continues to be in ongoing discussions with third party debt providers, including the incumbent, to enable the existing debt facility to be restructured or renewed, should management feel that this route offers a more attractive option compared to the sale of equity that is dependent on the current market conditions.

Alternative funding as used in the past such as the sale of licenses.  As product development is now at a significant more advanced stage then it was, it is management’s belief that the sufficient funding could be provided through the sale of licenses or a large-scale partnership that could bring in additional funds and infrastructure to support the commercial growth ambitions of the company.

However, as a consequence of this funding requirement being triggered without the funding bridge having been put in place by the filing date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40: “Going Concern”, requires that management recognize and disclose this point as an event which creates a substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of filing of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Following the receipt of the CE mark approval in the EU, and in support of our plans for similar certification with the FDA in the U.S., our plan is to utilize the cash on hand to continue establishing commercial manufacturing operations for the commercial supply of the sugarBEAT® device and sensor patches in our target markets. 

Management's strategic plans include the following:

  support the UK and EU launch of sugarBEAT®;

 

  obtaining further regulatory approval for the sugarBEAT® device in other countries such as the U.S.;

 

  exploring licensing and partnership opportunities in other territories;

 

  developing the sugarBEAT® device platform for commercialization across other applications; and

 

  pursue additional capital raising opportunities as and when required to further enhance our growth plans.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

(a)    Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. The results for the three- and nine- months ended December 31, 2022 are not indicative of annual results. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries. References to “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company” refer to Nemaura Medical Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations is the Great Britain Pound Sterling (“GBP”), and the reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar (“USD”). Financial statements for foreign subsidiaries are translated into USD using period end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for each period for revenue, costs and expenses.

Reclassification - We have reclassified certain amounts as previously disclosed within the March 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheets to conform to our current period presentation. The reclassification of $440,196 from Other liabilities and accrued expenses to Foreign currency contract at March 31, 2022 has no impact to prior year net loss, current quarter net loss or year-to-date net loss.

 

(b) – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates include the useful life of intangible assets, valuation of foreign currency contract and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. It is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, see the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of the Management’s Discussion & Analysis in our March 31, 2022 Form 10-K. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash includes cash deposited in major financial institutions in the United Kingdom. The Company’s cash balances exceed amounts covered by the Financial Services Compensation scheme. The Company has never suffered a loss due to such excess balances.

 

The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control or access of the Company’s licenses or performance of services. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in the contract. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Contracts with customers consist of licensing arrangements and, to a lesser extent, research and development related services. Revenues from licensing and royalty fees are received from the granting of exclusive sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution rights associated with the Company’s functional intellectual property (IP). The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time (upon delivery to the customer), where the Company has no remaining obligation to support or maintain the intellectual property licensed to the customer. The Company typically requires a non-refundable license fee, paid upfront.

 

 

10 
 

 

Revenue from license fees are recognized at a point in time when the Company transfers the functional IP to the customer as long as management believes the total consideration owed by the customer for the license fee is probable of being received.

 

The Company’s contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or variable consideration. Since the Company’s revenue is generated from a small number of customer contracts, the Company does not have material contract assets or liabilities.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

In accordance with the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the Company determines the fair value of financial instruments with the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of patents relating to the sensor and algorithm that are granted in some territories, and pending still in others. The Company also plans to file further patents as the opportunity arises. The cost of issued patents is capitalized and amortized over the life of the patents which is 20 years. The costs of patents in development are expensed as incurred. Any unamortized costs previously capitalized associated with patents that have expired or have been abandoned are written off as an impairment loss. The company has also capitalized certain software development costs which are regularly reviewed to ensure that if development has been abandoned, costs are written off as an impairment loss.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments to employees and nonemployees based on the grant date fair value of the award, which is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting term.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that management believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that the Company would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

(c) Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Accounting standard updates issued but not yet added were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – LICENSING AGREEMENTS

 

United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man

 

In March 2014, the Company entered into an Exclusive Marketing Rights Agreement (the “Marketing Rights Agreement”) with an unrelated third party (the “Licensee”), that granted to the Licensee the exclusive right to market and promote the sugarBEAT® device and related patches under its own brand in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. The Company received a non-refundable, up-front cash payment of GBP 1,000,000 (approximately $1.20 million and $1.31 million as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively), upon signing the Marketing Rights Agreement. The upfront payment received from the Marketing Rights Agreement has been deferred and will be recorded as income over the term of the Marketing Rights Agreement, which commenced upon the first delivery of the sugarBEAT® device to the Licensee in December 2021. Consequently, approximately $70,000, and $259,000 is included in deferred revenue classified as a current liability as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, with the remainder being shown in the non-current portion of deferred revenue.

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

DDL has a service agreement with Nemaura Pharma Limited (“Pharma”), an entity controlled by the Company’s President and Chief Executive officer, to provide development, manufacture, and regulatory approval process under Pharma’s ISO13485 accreditation. Pharma invoices DDL for these services on a cost-plus basis.

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT 1

 

On April 15, 2020, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement 1”) by and among the Company, DDL, TCL and a third-party investor (the “Investor”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of Note Purchase Agreement 1, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company, a secured promissory note (the “2020 Secured Note”) in the original principal amount of $6,015,000. In consideration thereof, on April 15, 2020, (i) the Investor (a) paid $1,000,000 in cash, (b) issued to the Company (1) Investor Note #1 in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (“Investor Note #1”), and (2) Investor Note #2 in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (“Investor Note #2” and together with Investor Note #1, the “2020 Investor Notes”), and (ii) the Company delivered the 2020 Secured Note on behalf of the Company, to the Investor, against delivery of the 2020 Purchase Price. For these purposes, the “2020 Purchase Price” means the Investor’s initial cash purchase price, together with the sum of the initial principal amounts of the Investor Notes.

 

The 2020 Secured Note is secured by the Collateral (as hereinafter defined). The 2020 Secured Note carries an original issue discount (“OID”) of $1,000,000 (16.7%). In addition, the Company agreed to pay $15,000 to the Investor to cover the Investor’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the 2020 Secured Note (the “Transaction Expense Amount”). In addition to this, a payment of $325,000 was made to Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (“Ascendiant”) for structuring the agreement between both parties. The 2020 Purchase Price for the 2020 Secured Note is $4,675,000, computed as follows: $6,015,000 original principal balance, less: OID, Transaction Expense Amount, and commission paid.

 

The borrowing period is 24 months, and the Company shall pay the outstanding balance and all fees on maturity. A monitoring fee equal to 0.833% of the outstanding balance will automatically be added to the outstanding balance on the first day of each month. The debt less the discount and transaction expenses will be accreted over the term of the 2020 Secured Note using the effective interest method.

 

Security Agreement

 

On April 15, 2020, the Company entered into the Security Agreement by the Company, DDL and TCL, in favor of the Investor (the “2020 Security Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Security Agreement, the Company granted the Investor a first-priority security interest in all rights, title, interest, claims and demands of the Company in and to all of the Company’s patents and all other proprietary rights, and all rights corresponding to the Company’s patents throughout the world, now owned and existing, and all replacements, proceeds, products, and accessions thereof (the “Collateral”).

 

Note Purchase Agreement 1 was settled in full on April 22, 2022.

 

NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT 2

 

On February 8, 2021, the Company entered into an additional note purchase agreement (“Note Purchase Agreement 2”) with the Investor.  Pursuant to the terms of Note Purchase Agreement 2, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company, a secured promissory note (the “Secured Note 2”) in the original principal amount of $24,015,000. The Secured Note 2 carries an OID of $4,000,000 (16.7%), and the Company agreed to pay $15,000 to the Investor to cover the Investor’s transaction expenses. In addition to this, a commission of $1,200,000 was also payable to Ascendiant.

In consideration thereof, on February 9, 2021, (i) the Investor paid $20,000,000 in cash to the Company, and (ii) the Company delivered Secured Note 2 on behalf of the Company, to the Investor, against the delivery of the 2021 Purchase Price.  For these purposes, the “2021 Purchase Price” means the Investor’s initial cash purchase price. After adjusting for transaction expenses of $1,200,000, cash proceeds received were $18,800,000.

The borrowing terms for Note Purchase Agreement 2 were originally consistent with those of Note Purchase Agreement 1, with the borrowing period being 24 months from the date of the agreement, the Company being required to pay the outstanding balance and all fees on maturity, and a monitoring fee equal to 0.833% of the outstanding balance being automatically added to the outstanding balance on the first day of each month. The debt less discount and transaction expenses will be accreted over the term of the Secured Note 2 using the effective interest rate method.

On October 21, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to Note Purchase Agreement 2. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Company and Investor agreed to extend the maturity date of Note Purchase Agreement 2 to July 1, 2024. In consideration thereof, the Company agreed to pay to the Investor an extension fee in the amount of 5% of the outstanding balance of Note Purchase Agreement 2, which resulted in $813,834 being added onto the liability due to the Investor.

 

 

13 
 

The Company and the Investor previously agreed to reduce the maximum monthly redemption amount from $2,000,000 to $500,000 from June 2022 to February 2023, which reduction remains in force. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Company and Investor agreed to reduce the maximum monthly redemption amount during the period beginning March 2023 until Note Purchase Agreement 2 is paid in full from $2,000,000 to $1,000,000; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Note Purchase Agreement 2, the maximum monthly redemption amount will automatically be increased back to $2,000,000.

 

Security Agreement

 

On February 8, 2021, the 2020 Security Agreement was extended to include Note Purchase Agreement 2, which is also secured against all of the Company’s assets owned as of February 9, 2021 and extends to any assets acquired at any time that the Company’s obligations under Secured Note 2 are outstanding.

 

NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT 3

 

On May 20, 2022, the Company entered into a new note purchase agreement (“Note Purchase Agreement 3”) by and among the Company, DDL, TCL and a third-party investor.

Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement 3, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor and the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company a secured promissory note (the “Secured Note”) in the original principal amount of $6,015,000. In consideration thereof, on May 20, 2022 (the closing date), (i) the Investor paid $5,000,000 in cash, and (ii) the Company delivered the Secured Note on behalf of the Company, to the Investor, against delivery of the Purchase Price. For these purposes, the “Purchase Price” means the Investor’s initial cash purchase price.

The Secured Note is secured by the Collateral (as hereinafter defined). The Secured Note carries an original issue discount (“OID”) of $1,000,000 (16.7%). In addition, the Company agreed to pay $15,000 to the Investor to cover the Investor’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Secured Note (the “Transaction Expense Amount”). In addition to this, a payment of $300,000 was made to Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, (the “Commission”) for structuring the agreement between both parties. The Purchase Price for the Secured Note is $4,700,000, computed as follows: $6,015,000 original principal balance, less: OID, Transaction Expense Amount, and commission paid.

The borrowing period is 24 months, and the Company shall pay the outstanding balance and all fees on maturity. A monitoring fee equal to 0.833% of the outstanding balance will automatically be added to the outstanding balance on the first day of each month. The debt less the discount and transaction expenses will be accreted over the term of the Note using the effective interest method.

Security Agreement

On May 20, 2022, the Company entered into the Security Agreement by the Company, DDL and TCL, in favor of the Investor (the “Security Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement, the Company granted the Investor a first-priority security interest in all rights, title, interest, claims and demands of the Company in and to all of the Company’s patents and all other proprietary rights, and all rights corresponding to the Company’s patents throughout the world, now owned and existing, and all replacements, proceeds, products, and accessions thereof.  As of December 31, 2022, long-term debt matures as follows:

NOTE 7 – OTHER ITEMS

 

  (a) COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019 has since rapidly increased its exposure globally. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our own operations and are working with our employees, suppliers and other stakeholders to mitigate the risks posed by its spread, but COVID-19 is not expected to have any long-term detrimental effect on the Company’s success. While key suppliers have not been accessible throughout the whole period of the outbreak, we have been able to be flexible in our priorities and respond favorably to the challenges faced during the outbreak. We have also seen a surge in the uptake of technologies for remote monitoring of patients and patient self-monitoring, which potentially enhances the prospects for the Company, its CGM product and its planned digital healthcare offering.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those made, projected, or implied in the forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" below, and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the same may be updated from time to time, for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

 

Overview

 

We are a medical technology company developing sugarBEAT®, a non-invasive, affordable, and flexible continuous glucose monitoring system for adjunctive use by persons with diabetes, as well as for consumers in the non-diabetes space for monitoring metabolic health and general health and wellness. sugarBEAT® consists of a disposable adhesive skin-patch connected to a rechargeable wireless transmitter that displays glucose readings at regular five-minute intervals via a mobile app. sugarBEAT® works by extracting glucose from the skin into a chamber in the patch that is in direct contact with an electrode-based sensor. The transmitter sends the raw data to a mobile app where it is processed by an algorithm and displayed as a glucose reading after calibration, with the ability to track and trend the data over 14 hours for each sensor wear period. Sensors can be worn as frequently as a user chooses. While sugarBEAT® requires once per day calibration by the patient using a blood sample obtained by a finger stick, we believe sugarBEAT® will be adopted by non-insulin dependent persons with diabetes alongside insulin-injecting persons with diabetes, who all perform multiple daily finger sticks to manage their disease. In the consumer application, or non-medical applications, the relative glucose fluctuations are used and therefore finger-prick calibrations are not required.

 

CE approval was granted by the European Notified Body BSI in May 2019, allowing the product to be made available for commercial sale. This approval is subject to an annual review of the underlying ISO 13485 accredited Quality Management System. The accreditation was successfully renewed in November 2021 and 2022. In conjunction with the UK Licensee, the Company commenced a phase 1 launch whereby devices were made available to limited cohorts of users to gauge their feedback so that any fine-tuning could be completed prior to a mass market launch. The UK Licensee has also confirmed that it will undertake two Key Opinion Leader (“KOL”) studies in the UK for its white-labelled service offering that is supported by sugarBEAT®. The KOL studies are intended to provide additional support for the UK Licensee’s broader ongoing marketing plans and more specifically to support potential reimbursement for the device and the licensees overall diabetes management offering(s)

 

The UK Licensee placed an initial order for sugarBEAT® in April 2021 and provided a forecast for its post-launch volume expectations, which the Company has used to establish both a short and medium term view to inform the Company’s commercial operational requirements. In line with this view, the Company has taken the following actions since the initial order was received:

 

  · Entered into a new leased facility to provide the additional space requirements for commercial product assembly.

 

  · Increased headcount of production operatives; this will be phased in line with the volume forecasts currently available, however the Company has also factored in an ability to scale further and faster should this be required.

 

  · Moved forward with placing phased orders for raw materials to ensure future product availability to support both our UK Licensee while also providing for capacity to flex up further as other routes to market materialize in line with management’s commercialization program.

 

  · Commenced phased deliveries in December 2021 to the UK Licensee of its continuous glucose monitor.

In July 2020, Nemaura filed a PMA application with the FDA to use sugarBEAT® as an adjunct to finger prick testing for blood glucose trending. We, along with other applicants, were then informed by the FDA that the approval process was currently subject to delays as a result of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (“CDRH”) being actively engaged in responding to the current pandemic caused by COVID-19 which resulted in staff being reallocated to other approval requests associated with COVID-19. During April 2021 the FDA confirmed that they would recommence their review of the PMA application and this is now ongoing and in-progress. In December 2021 the FDA’s Bio-monitoring research division conducted an audit of the clinical program submitted in support of the PMA application. A single 483 observation was raised, and the Company submitted a full response in January 2022. The FDA subsequently scheduled a pre-market inspection for during the second calendar quarter of 2022, intended to cover the FDA’s Quality System/Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations for Medical Devices (21 CFR Part 820). This audit was conducted in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. The Company reported that a single 483 observation was raised to which the Company responded in a timely manner, and Dialogue with the FDA continues with respect to the PMA application. 

In addition to this, Nemaura established that proBEAT™, which is based on the sugarBEAT® platform, can be classified under the Wellness guidance when it is used according to the FDA Wellness guidance notes, to provide prompts and educate users on factors affecting their blood sugar profiles. Nemaura launched proBEAT™ in the U.S. in December 2020, as part of a diabetes prevention and reversal program branded BEATdiabetes.life, in the form of pilot studies. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, Nemaura licensed a clinically validated weight loss program for the management of diabetes from Healthimation, LLC, which was originally developed at the Joslin Diabetes Center, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School. This program, together with proBEAT™, originally formed the basis of the BEATdiabetes.life program that is currently being developed for commercialization in the U.S. The program is under further refinement based on feedback gathered to date. Further KOL studies are planned to provide additional marketing support of the program in preparation for a broader U.S.-wide roll-out. While still in the relatively early stages, we are pleased with initial results and feedback received from these user-groups and one key outcome has been that the company is now looking to provide proBEAT as a standalone plug-in for existing diabetes management programs therefore potentially allowing the company to accelerate commercialization as well as reduce the cost burden that could be associated with running its own program.

 

We believe there are additional applications for sugarBEAT® and the underlying BEAT technology platform, which may include:

 

  · a web-server accessible by physicians and diabetes professionals to track the condition remotely, thereby reducing healthcare costs and managing the condition more effectively;

 

  · a complete virtual doctor that monitors a person's vital signs and transmits results via the web;

 

  · other patches using the BEAT technology platform to measure alternative analytes, including lactate, uric acid, lithium and drugs. This would be a step-change in the monitoring of conditions, particularly in the hospital setting. Lactate monitoring is currently used to determine the relative fitness of professional athletes and we completed preliminary studies demonstrating the application of the BEAT technology for continuous lactate monitoring;

 

  · a continuous temperature monitoring system which could have various applications, including use for individuals to monitor their temperature in connection with diagnosis and monitoring of symptoms of novel coronavirus (COVID-19);

 

  · monitoring disease progression in COVID-19 patients using continuous lactate monitoring (CLM).

 

During this period of product development, the Company has experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash balances of $7,340,840, a working capital deficit of ($2,309,666), an accumulated deficit of $47,192,364 and a deficiency in total stockholders' equity of $9,858,709.

 

While the Company expects to continue to incur losses from operations for the near-term and these losses could be significant as product development, regulatory activities, clinical trials, and other commercial and product development related expenses are incurred, the Company reached a significant milestone during the three month period ended December 31, 2021, as the Company commenced commercial delivery of its sugarBEAT® device to its UK Licensee, allowing the UK Licensee to continue studies dedicated to developing user based feedback and evidence that could potentially support reimbursement in the UK .

 

 

18 
 

Management's strategic assessment continues to include the following potential options:

 

  · obtaining further regulatory approval for the sugarBEAT® device in other global territories, including the U.S., Europe and the Middle East;

 

  · signing new/additional licensing and collaboration opportunities beyond our existing licensee partners;

 

  · pursuing further capital raising opportunities to support and accelerate the commercialization strategy; and

 

  · developing the sugarBEAT® device platform for commercialization for other applications.

 

Recent Developments

 

On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into a License, Supply and Distribution Agreement with ‘MySugarWatch DuoPack Limited’ (“MSW-DP”), a sister company of MSW, whereby MSW-DP will provide CGM sensors free of charge with certain medications that are widely prescribed to persons with Type 2 diabetes. These medications are due to come off patent in the fourth calendar quarter of 2022 in Europe and the UK, and 2023 in the U.S. The agreed sale price of sensors to MSW-DP under the terms of the agreement is $20 per box of 5 sensors for the U.S. market, and in Europe and the UK 12.50 Euros in the first 12 months from product launch and 10 Euros thereafter per box of 5 sensors. Nemaura’s anticipated cost of goods per sensor on large-scale production is $1 per sensor once economies of scale are achieved. As of January 2022, there were over 2 million prescriptions written for these medications each month in the combined key EU and UK territories. The Company believes this will provide an opportunity for rapid market penetration in the use of its CGM sensors, at a scale that can enable the targeted lower cost of goods to be achieved and thereby support both revenue and margin growth into the future.

 

Management is now focused on fulfilling the UK licensees’ initial orders based on MSW’s UK launch plans, which is gradually evolving with a clear focus on aiming to generate data to support product reimbursement, while also developing the capabilities of the Company to develop and service new channels of business across other geographic markets via the use of our BEAT platform. This includes expansion of the consumer metabolic health offering Miboko, for which the beta registrations was launched in late 2021, to employers and insurers across the U.S.

 

ATM Offering

In July 2021, the Company entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Agent”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time to or through the Agent shares of the Company’s common stock. On April 1, 2022, the Company and Agent entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the ATM Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to expand the meaning of the defined term “Registration Statement” in the ATM Agreement to include, for the period from April 1, 2022 and thereafter, a new shelf registration statement (File Number 333-263618) on Form S-3 (“New Registration Statement”) that was filed on March 16, 2022 with the SEC and declared effective by the SEC on March 28, 2022. No other changes to the ATM Agreement were made by the Amendment.

 

The offer and sale of shares of common stock through the Agent will be made pursuant to the New Registration Statement, and a related prospectus supplement filed with the SEC pursuant to which the Company is offering shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $3,000,000.

 

Termination of Chief Financial Officer

 

Effective July 1, 2022, the Company terminated its Company’s Chief Financial Officer and has commenced a search for a U.S. based replacement.  Until a replacement has been selected, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer will act as principal financial and accounting officer of the Company, and the Company’s finance team will continue to support the Company with respect to its accounting and financial reporting compliance requirements. The Company is currently reviewing a large number of applicants for the role, advertised recently in the US.

Preliminary agreement with EVERSANA

 

On September 27, 2022, the Company entered into a preliminary agreement with EVERSANA to collaborate on the launch strategy of the Company’s BEATdiabetes program.

 

Amendment of Uptown Capital Secured Promissory Note

 

On February 8, 2021, the Company, Dermal Diagnostics Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Dermal Diagnostics”), and Trial Clinic Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Trial Clinic” and collectively with the Company and Dermal Diagnostics) issued to Uptown Capital, LLC (“Uptown”) a secured promissory note (the “Uptown Note”) in the original principal amount of $24,015,000. The Uptown Note carried an original issue discount of $4,000,000. In addition, the Company agreed to pay $15,000 to Uptown to cover Uptown’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Uptown Note, all of which amount was included in the initial principal balance of the Uptown Note. The purchase price of the Uptown Note, therefore, was $20,000,000. The original maturity date of the Uptown Note was 24 months after the date the purchase price for the Uptown Note was delivered.

 

The Company and Uptown previously agreed in May 2022 to reduce the maximum monthly redemption amount from $2,000,000 to $500,000 from June 2022 to February 2023, which reduction remains in force. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the Company and Uptown agreed to reduce the maximum monthly redemption amount during the period beginning March 2023 until the Uptown Note is paid in full from $2,000,000 to $1,000,000; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Uptown Note, the maximum monthly redemption amount will automatically be increased back to $2,000,000.

 

On October 21, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to Secured Promissory Note, dated as of October 21, 2022, by and among the Company, Dermal Diagnostics, Trial Clinic and Uptown. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Company and Uptown agreed to extend the maturity date of the Uptown Note to July 1, 2024. In consideration thereof, the Company agreed to pay to Uptown an extension fee in the amount of 5% of the outstanding balance of the Uptown Note which results in $813,834 being added onto the liability due to Uptown.

 

Restatements

 

On February 17, 2023, the management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company concluded that the following financial statements should be restated and should no longer be relied upon:

 

(i)The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 12, 2022 (the “Q1 2022 10-Q”); and

 

(ii)The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022 (the “Q2 2022 10-Q” and together with the Q1 2022 10-Q, the “Filings”).

 

The following errors impacted the Filings: (i) not translating correctly the foreign currency balance for a mark-to-market contract; and (ii) not including certain debt issuance costs in the computation of the effective interest rate for a loan note.

 

The Company determined that the reporting effects of the above errors had a material impact to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as reported in the Q1 2022 10-Q, and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, as reported in the Q2 2022 10-Q. As a result, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 have been restated, and the Company has filed an amendment to each of the Q1 2022 10-Q and the Q2 2022 10-Q with the SEC.

 

The errors had the effects as shown below:

 

(i)Decreasing the Company’s net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as reported in the Q1 2022 10-Q, by approximately $90,000 to approximately $3,889,000;

 

(ii)Decreasing the Company’s net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as reported in the Q2 2022 10-Q, by approximately $223,000 to approximately $3,856,000; and

 

(iii)Decreasing the Company’s net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2022, as reported in the Q2 2022 10-Q, by approximately $313,000 to approximately $7,745,000.

 

The errors do not impact the Company’s previously reported sales, gross profit, or cash positions in any period.

 

The Company’s management concluded that in light of the errors mentioned above, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for debt issuance costs using the effective interest rate method and translating the mark-to-market liability as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, and the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such dates. The Company’s remediation plan with respect to such material weakness has been described in more detail in the amendment filed to each of the Q1 2022 10-Q and the Q2 2022 10-Q on February 23, 2023. These errors relate to the material weakness as previously identified and detailed in the Q1 2022 10-Q and the Q2 2022 10-Q related to lack of financial expertise over complex transactions and lack of resources to review out of the ordinary transactions and arrangements of the Company.

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019 has since rapidly increased its exposure globally. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our own operations and are working with our employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to mitigate the risks posed by its spread, but COVID-19 is not expected to have any long-term detrimental effect on the Company’s success. While key suppliers have not always been accessible throughout the whole period of the outbreak, we have been able to be flexible in our priorities and respond favorably to the challenges faced during this period. We also recognize that one of the consequences of this pandemic has been a surge in the uptake of technologies for remote monitoring of patients and patient self-monitoring, which potentially enhances the prospects for the Company, its CGM product and its planned digital healthcare offering.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparative Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

 

Revenue

 

The Company recognized revenue of $77,044 in the nine month period ended December 31, 2022, relating to deliveries of sugarBEAT® to MSW pursuant to the initial order placed in April 2021. A portion also related to the recognition of the GBP 1 million (approximately $1.20 million), that was previously received and held within deferred revenue relating to the exclusive Marketing Rights Agreement that was signed with MSW.

 

Revenue recognized in the comparative nine month period ended December 30, 2021 was $183,628 relating to the delivery of goods and including a small portion of the recognition of the deferred revenue relating to the exclusive Marketing Rights Agreement that was signed with MSW.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $980,862 and $987,711 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This amount consisted primarily of expenditures on wages and sub-contractor activities incurred for improvements made to the sugarBEAT® device.

 

21 
 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $4,329,306 and $4,151,380 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These expenses consisted of fees for legal, professional, consultancy, audit services, investor relations, insurance, advertising and general and operational wages. Non-cash charges of $635,494 and $199,522 were recorded in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 as a result of the mark-to-market adjustments on the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

 

As the Company continues to scale up to service its existing order book, it is expected that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in a similar way moving forward, as the business transitions to a more operational focused base that will encompass an increase in functional expenses relating to production, sales, marketing, customer service, as well as enhancements to other existing functions.

 

Other Comprehensive Loss

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, other comprehensive loss was $864,328 and $142,922, respectively. Currently all transactions recorded through other comprehensive loss arise from fluctuations in the USD:GBP exchange rate and the impact that this has on consolidation of the Company’s non-USD denominated assets and liabilities.

 

Comparative Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

 

Revenue

 

Revenue of $3,017 was recognized in the three month period ended December 31, 2022, relating to deliveries of sugarBEAT® to MSW pursuant to the initial order placed in April 2021. A portion also related to the recognition of the deferred revenue relating to the exclusive Marketing Rights Agreement that was signed with MSW.

 

The comparative revenue recognized in the three month period ended December 31, 2021 was $183,628.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

R&D expenses were $393,747 and $412,341 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This continues to be largely composed of expenditures on wages and sub-contractor activities incurred in finalizing the product design for the sugarBEAT® device in order to enable scaling of the production ability combined with costs associated with new pipeline products as they move through their respective development phases.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $239,628 and $1,391,278 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Given the nature of the Company’s activities has remained unchanged, the cost drivers in this area have also remained consistent and are largely representative of fees for legal, professional, consultancy, audit services, investor relations, insurance and wages. Non-cash credits of $990,531 and $70,878 were recorded for the mark-to-market adjustments on the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

 

We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase moving forward, as the business transitions to a more operational focused base that will encompass an increase in functions expenses associated with sales, marketing, customer service, as well as enhancements to other existing functions.

 

Other Comprehensive Loss

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, other comprehensive income was $556,080 and ($25,065) loss, respectively. Currently all transactions recorded through other comprehensive loss arise from fluctuations in the USD:GBP exchange rate and the impact that this has on consolidation of the Company’s non-USD denominated assets and liabilities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. We have sustained cumulative losses of $47,192,364 through December 31, 2022. We have historically financed our operations through a combination of debt and equity funding.

 

 

22 
 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a deficiency in net working capital of $2,309,666, which included cash balances of $7,340,840. The Company reported a net loss for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2022 of $1,716,278 and $9,460,888, respectively. This loss is after taking account of interest and debt discount charges arising from the note purchase agreements for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 2022 of $1,082,949  and $4,152,437, respectively.

 

Having reviewed the Company’s forward looking cashflow requirements in relation to the cash balance held at December 31, 2022, management is aware of the need to raise additional funds in order to finance the ongoing commercialization of sugarBEAT®. The Company had $7,340,840 of cash at December 31, 2022. The Company has debt on its balance sheet which will reach maturity in July 2024, following a restructure in October 2022.

In evaluating the going concern position of the Company, management has considered the ability of the Company to raise additional funding in combination with one or more of the different funding options available to it at this time.  Based on current and ongoing engagement with potential funding providers, management believes that there is a reasonable expectation that funding could be provided by one, or more, of the following options:

Equity funding – the Company has immediate access to funds through the ATM facility that is currently in place; in addition to this, there are various alternative mechanisms available to the Company similar to those used previously e.g. direct sale of shares to interested third parties, as well as other mechanisms to sell common stock via an underwritten agreement or the further exercise of warrants by the current warrant holders etc. The Company completed a Registered Direct Offering and concurrent Private Placement in January 2023 which has increased cash by $7,655,974.

Debt funding – the Company continues to be in ongoing discussions with third party debt providers, including the incumbent, to enable the existing debt facility to be restructured or renewed, should management feel that this route offers a more attractive option compared to the sale of equity that is dependent on the current market conditions.

Alternative funding as used in the past such as the sale of licenses.  As product development is now at a significant more advanced stage then it was, it is management’s belief that the sufficient funding could be provided through the sale of licenses or a large-scale partnership that could bring in additional funds and infrastructure to support the commercial growth ambitions of the company.

There can be no assurance that any such equity, debt or alternative funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. As a consequence of this funding requirement being triggered without the funding bridge having been put in place by the filing date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, ASC 205-40 requires that management recognize and disclose this point as an event which creates a substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of filing of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flows

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was $6,090,181, reflecting a net loss of $9,460,888, adjusted for the add back of the accretion of debt discount expense of $4,152,437, the mark-to-market charge booked in relation to the revaluation of the foreign currency forward contracts of $635,494 and the depreciation and amortization charge of $268,595. Cash was also impacted by increases in inventory of $864,636, which was directly driven as a result of commercial scale up.

 

Prepayments increased by $467,070, which was a result of an increase in amount paid to Hamilton Court (approximately $876,000), our forward contract provider, partially offset by savings on other prepayments, including a reduction in prepaid insurance.

 

There was a $34,897 increase in accounts payable during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 with decreases seen in other liabilities and accrued expenses of $167,568 and deferred revenue of $297,419. The related party payable balance increased by $75,977.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 was $4,353,494, reflecting a net loss of $10,269,557, adjusted for the add back of the non-cash amortization of debt discount expense of $5,141,701, the mark-to-market charge recorded in relation to the foreign currency forward contracts of $199,522 and the depreciation and amortization charge of $139,751. Cash was also impacted by increases in inventory of $533,656, which was directly driven as a result of the commercial scale up.

 

Prepayments increased by $797,155, which was also a direct result of commercial scale up with prepayments for raw materials being pre-purchased to ensure that inventory would be on-hand to support the Company’s shift to commercial operations. The decrease was partly offset by an increase in accounts receivable – related party, of $301,387, which relates to additional advance purchasing of inventory that is completed through a related party company.

 

There was also a reduction in accounts payable of $77,075 with increases seen in both other liabilities and accrued expenses and deferred revenue.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, was $438,805, which included patent filing costs of $135,168 and the purchase of property and equipment of $275,758 driven by the procurement to support the transition to operational production.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $880,008 for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, which reflected patent filing costs of $60,241, the purchase of property and equipment of $359,301 driven by the procurement of cleanroom facilities and injection molding tooling to support the operational production steps taken in advance of product delivery to the UK licensee. In addition to this, $460,466 was invested in software development costs relating to the digital health program in the US and recent Beta launch of our consumer health program, Miboko, in the UK.

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was $3,273,859, comprised of $4,700,000 from proceeds from the issuance of notes payable, offset by $7,974,282 for the repayments of notes payable.

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 was $3,421,933, comprised of $2,963,658 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants, $114,409 of proceeds (net of costs) from the sale of common stock through the ATM facility, offset by $6,500,000 for the scheduled repayments of notes payable.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including unrecorded derivative instruments that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

When we prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), we must make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts we report. Certain of these estimates result from judgements that can be subjective and complex. As a result of that subjectivity and complexity, and because we continuously evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on a variety of factors, actual results could materially differ from our estimates and assumptions if changes in one or more factors require us to make accounting adjustments. We believe our critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For further discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Note 2.

 

During the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2022, we have made no material changes or additions with regard to such policies and estimates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Dr. Dewan F.H. Chowdhury, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation as of December 31, 2022, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were not effective due to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

As of December 31, 2022, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who is also serving as our Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of our assessment, management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022:

Management has identified that there is a lack of adequate financial expertise related to the assessment of complex transactions and a lack of adequate resources to review out of the ordinary transactions and arrangements of the Company, which created a deficiency in the design and implementation of our review control. Due to the deficiency in our design and implementation of our review control, material errors in the financial statements may not be identified as part of the review process.  Based on these factors, we concluded that the deficiency rises to the level of a material weakness.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

We are in the process of implementing improvements and remedial measures in response to the material weakness.  We are currently in the process of hiring a replacement CFO with US public company experience and technical expertise. In addition we are engaging with additional consultants with U.S. reporting expertise. This weakness has yet to be remediated. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on June 29, 2022, as the same may be updated from time to time.

 

The following risk factors are in addition to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on June 29, 2022, as the same may be updated from time to time:

 

The restatement of certain of our financial statements may subject us to risks and uncertainties, including the increased possibility of legal proceedings.

On February 17, 2023, the management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that the following financial statements should be restated and should no longer be relied upon:

 

(i)The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 12, 2022 (the “Q1 2022 10-Q”); and

 

(ii)The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022 (the “Q2 2022 10-Q” and together with the Q1 2022 10-Q, the “Filings”).

 

 

25 
 

 

The following errors impacted the Filings: (i) not translating correctly the foreign currency balance for a mark-to-market contract; and (ii) not including certain debt issuance costs in the computation of the effective interest rate for a loan note.

 

The Company determined that the reporting effects of the above errors had a material impact to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as reported in the Q1 2022 10-Q, and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, as reported in the Q2 2022 10-Q. As a result, the Company determined that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 should be restated, and the Company should file an amendment to the Q1 2022 10-Q and the Q2 2022 10-Q with the SEC.

 

As a result of the restatements, we may become subject to additional risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the increased possibility of legal proceedings or a review by the SEC and other regulatory bodies. The costs of defending against such legal proceedings or administrative actions could be significant. In addition, we could face monetary judgments, penalties or other sanctions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, the restatements:

 

may have the effect of eroding investor confidence in us and our financial reporting and accounting practices and processes;
may negatively impact the trading price of our common stock;
diverted and may continue to divert management’s attention from the operation of our business;
required that we incur additional expenses and may require that we incur significant additional expenses relating to any litigation or regulatory examinations, investigations, proceedings or orders;
may make it more difficult, expensive and time consuming for us to raise capital, if necessary, on acceptable terms, if at all; and
may make it more difficult to pursue transactions or implement business strategies that might otherwise be beneficial to our business.

 

The occurrence or continued occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which could, if not remediated, adversely impact the reliability of our financial statements, result in material misstatements in our financial statements and cause current and potential stockholders to lose confidence in our financial reporting, which in turn could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

As discussed in the Explanatory Note to this Amendment No. 1 and Note 9-Restatement, included in the interim financial statements, the Company has restated certain information contained in its previously issued unaudited interim condensed financial statements for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022.

We have concluded that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. For additional information on the material weakness identified and our remedial efforts, see “Item 9A, Controls and Procedures.” The material weakness resulted in the restatement of certain of our financial statements and related disclosures, as discussed in the Explanatory Note to this Amendment No. 1 and Note 9-Restatement. Thus, management has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022. Under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards, a material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a misstatement of our consolidated annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The existence of this issue could adversely affect us, our reputation or investor perceptions of us. We will take measures to remediate the underlying cause of the material weakness noted above. As we continue to evaluate and work to remediate the material weakness, we may determine to take additional measures to address the control deficiencies.

Although we plan to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible, we cannot provide any assurance as to when the remediation process will be complete, and our measures may not prove to be successful in remediating the material weakness. If our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weakness, or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting are discovered or occur in the future, our consolidated financial statements may contain misstatements and we could be required to restate our financial results. In addition, if we are unable to successfully remediate the material weakness or if we are unable to produce accurate consolidated financial statements in the future, our stock price, liquidity and access to the capital markets may be adversely affected and we may be unable to maintain compliance with applicable stock exchange listing requirements and debt covenant requirements. Further, because of its inherent limitations, even our remediated and effective internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in our conditions, or that the degree of compliance with our policies or procedures may deteriorate.
