 NEMAURA MEDICAL INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the SixNine Months Ended September 30,December 31, 2023 and 2022
(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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 and support obesity and weight-loss programs. 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.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial statements, for the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $3,806,608 5,968,086and used cash in operations of $5,724,1097,203,676. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in its report on the Company’s March 31, 2023 financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In evaluating the going concern position of the company, management has considered potential funding providers and believes that financing to fund future operations could be provided by equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that funding would be available, or that the terms of such funding would be on favorable terms if available. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

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 presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. The results for the three and sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2023 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, 2023, as the same may be amended from time to time as filed with the SEC.2023.

 

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.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant estimates include the assumptions used in the accrual for potential liabilities, the net realizable value of inventory, the valuation of debt and equity instruments, the fair value of derivative liabilities, valuation of stock options issued for services, and deferred tax valuation allowances. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which include (1) identifying the contract or agreement with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

Deferred Revenues

 

In March 2014, the Company executed an Exclusive Marketing Rights agreement with Dallas Burston Pharma (“DB Pharma”)(now known as MySugarWatch Limited “MSW”), a Jersey (Channel Island) based company for the exclusive right to sell the Company’s SugarBEAT® device in the UK and Republic of Ireland, both direct to consumer and through prescriptions by general practitioners. The agreement has a term of five years and automatically renewed for another five years unless terminated by either party. As part of the agreement, the Company received a non-refundable upfront fee of £1 million ($1.6 million). Pursuant to current accounting guidelines, the Company recorded the upfront fee of £1 million as a deferred revenue (i.e. liability) and is being amortized to revenues based upon the corresponding sale of the Company’s SugarBEAT devices. As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the outstanding deferred revenues amounted to £875,000 ($1,068,000).

During the period ended September 30, 2023, there was no transaction$1,184,412 and $1,145,451, respectively or revenues recognized from the deferred revenues ($74,027 in September 30, 2022). As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding deferred revenues amounted to £875,000 ($1,068,000). As of September 30, 2022 the outstanding balance amounted to £966,667 ($1,080,000).approximately £875,000GBP.

The agreement is scheduled to expire in March 2024, however, the Company expects that it will be renewed for another five years based upon the ongoing relationship with MSW.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. For the six-monthsnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2023, there were an additional general write-downs of inventory of approximately $150,000104,000.

 

 

Research and development expenses

 

The Company charges research and development expenses to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and related expenses for personnel and outside contractor and consulting services. Other research and development expenses include the costs of materials and supplies used in research and development, prototype manufacturing, clinical studies, related information technology and an allocation of facilities costs.

 

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if convertible debentures, options and warrants were to be exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Since the effects of outstanding options and warrants are anti-dilutive for the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2023 and 2022, shares of common stock underlying these instruments have been excluded from the computation of loss per common share.

The following sets forth the number of shares of common stock underlying outstanding options and warrants as of September 30,December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Schedule of common stock underlying outstanding options          
 September 30, September 30,  December 31, December 31,

  5,409,304   1,613,098   5,273,551   1,613,098 

 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues share-based awards to employees and non-employees and consultants for services rendered. Stock options vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date of each grant. Stock grants are measured at the grant date fair value. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at fair value on the grant date and is generally recognized as a charge to operations ratably over the requisite service, or vesting, period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.

 

The Company values its equity awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, and a risk-free interest rate. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock, calculated utilizing a look-back period approximately equal to the contractual life of the stock option being granted. The expected life of the stock option is calculated as the mid-point between the vesting period and the contractual term (the “simplified method”). The risk-free interest rate is estimated using comparable published federal funds rates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The authoritative guidance with respect to fair value established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, as presented below. Disclosure as to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, is also required. Fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Foreign exchange contract derivative liability is valued using Level 2 fair values while the warrant liability areis valued using Level 3 fair values.

 

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at fair value as of September 30,December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023:

The following table provides a roll-forward of the warrant derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable level 3 inputs for the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2023:

Schedule of warrant derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Balance as of end of period – September 30, 2023 $1,495,000 
Balance as of end of period – December 31, 2023 $492,000 

 

As of September 30,December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company’s outstanding warrants were treated as derivative liabilities and changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings (see Note 3).

 

The Company believes the carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments and are excluded from the fair value tables above.

 

Inflation

 

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on its operations to date, other than its impact on the general economy. However, there is a risk that the Company’s operating costs could become subject to inflationary and interest rate pressures in the future, which would have the effect of increasing the Company’s operating costs (including, specifically, clinical trial costs in countries where the Company is applying to sell it’sits products), and which would put additional stress on the Company’s working capital resources.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

Management does not believebelieves that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Warrant liability  

 

In January 2023, the Company completed an equity offering, which included the issuance of 4,796,206 warrants. Upon the occurrence of certain transactions (“Fundamental Transactions,” as defined), the warrants provide for a value determined using a Black Scholes model with inputs calculated as described in the warrant agreement which includes a 100% floor on the volatility input to be utilized. The Company has determined that this provision introduces leverage to the holders of the warrants that could result in a value that would be greater than the settlement amount of a fixed-for-fixed option on the Company’s own equity shares. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 815, the Company has classified the fair value of the warrants as a liability to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

The warrant liability was valued at the following dates using a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

Fair value of Warrant liability $1,495,000  $3,092,000  $492,000  $3,092,000 

 

The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.measurement commensurate with expected life of the warrants. Expected volatility was determined based on the historical volatility data of the Company, and the expected term of the warrants granted are determined based on the duration of time the warrants are expected to be outstanding. The dividend yield on the Company’s warrants is assumed to be zero as the Company has not historically paid dividends.

 

Foreign exchange contract liability

 

The Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations as a significant proportion of its expenses are denominated in GBP, and the Company’s cash is in USD and GBP. In February 2021, the Company entered into a forward contract to sell USD and buy GBP. The contract meets the definition of a derivative subject to the guidance of ASC 815, does not qualify for hedge accounting, and accordingly is recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

 

The term of the contract is 25 months, beginning July, 2022, and ending August, 2024. The contract initially had a maximum notional amount of $6,250,000 (and a maximum leveraged amount equal to two times the notional amount, or $12,500,000). $250,000 of the contractual notional amount is settled (expires) each month through August 2024. On each monthly settlement date, if the USD/GBP spot rate is above $1.359, the Company has the right to convert $250,000 USD into GBP at a fixed rate of $1.359. If the spot rate is between $1.359 and $1.319 on the settlement date, the Company has no obligations, but can convert $250,000 USD into GBP at the spot rate. Finally, if the spot rate is below $1.319 on the monthly settlement date, the Company is obligated to convert $500,000 USD (the settlement date leveraged amount) into GBP at the fixed rate of $1.359. Alternatively, instead of selling $500,000 USD, the Company can pay the difference in the spot rate and the $1.359 exchange rate for $500,000 USD (net settle) to the counterparty.counterparty. 

 

At September 30,December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the fair value of the foreign currency contract liability was valued as follows:

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, 2023, 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

Business Review and Outlook

It is management’s view that the Company made good progress during the sixnine month period ended September 30,December 31, 2023, and some of the key developments are listed as follows:

 1.The Company continued to support its UK licensee with its endeavours to obtain reimbursement for the sensors in the UK.

 

 2.Advanced development of the Company’s BEATdiabetes offering in readiness for a commercial launch in due course.

  

 3.Continued development of its consumer metabolic health platform and potential deployment as a bolt-on service into existing metabolic and wellness programs.

 

 4.

Received approval from the Saudi Arabia Food and Drug Agency for marketing of sugarBEAT in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), with support from the Company’s licensee in the region, TP MENA.

 

5.

Continued trials ofUsed feedback from the Company’s pre-diabetes and consumer metabolic health program with the UK National Health Service, the results from which are expected to support thecommence plans for a commercial launch of the program in various territories.territories with partners, in due course.

 

Management is working towards fulfilling the remainder of the UK licensees’ initial orders and supporting MSW’s UK launch plans, and for potential supplies to fulfill the provisional purchase order for the KSA from TPMENA. The company continues to also develop capabilities to develop and service new channels of business across other geographic markets via the use of our BEAT platform. To this end the company is now actively planning product launch in other territories that accept the CE mark registration. In addition, the company is seeking to exploit its product platform in the consumer space.

In line with this view, the Company has taken the following actions during and after the sixnine month period ended September 30,December 31, 2023:

 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.

 

 Engaged with external third-party manufacturers with the ability to provide significant scale up services for product manufacture moving forward. Specifically, this quarter the company has engaged with a company in Germany that specialize in Automation of manufacturing processes to further scale-up sensor production capabilities, with anticipated concurrent reduction in unit cost of goods.

 

Recent Developments

On October 3rd 2023 the Company allowed its FDA PMA application to lapse in favor of submitting a revised application based on a 24-hour sensor life in place of the current 14-hour sensor life, in particular in light of improvements that had been made to sensor performance and manufacture which out-date the original application. The Company has selected the Modular route for this submission.

In a traditional PMA, the applicant submits all PMA data, as outlined in 21 CFR 814.20, at the same time, regardless of when testing is completed. FDA begins its review only upon receipt of all the required information. In 1998, however, as part of CDRH’s reengineering effort, FDA issued the above mentioned guidances.guidance. In these documents, FDA described a new policy whereby applicants could submit “Modular PMAs.” The goal of FDA’s 1998 guidancesguidance was to increase the efficiency of the PMA review process by allowing applicants to submit discrete sections (modules) of the PMA to FDA for review soon after completing the testing and analysis.

Guidance notes were revised on November 3, 2023 (https://www.fda.gov/files/medical%20devices/published/Premarket-Approval-Application-Modular-Review---Guidance-for-Industry-and-FDA-Staff.pdf).

In accordance with the guidelines Nemaura submitted its Proposal on October 30, 2023.2023 and has now commenced the process of compiling the dossier for staged submission over the coming months.

Furthermore, the Company reported that it completed a 100 patient study, collecting over 30,000 glucose measurements from the sugarBEAT device paired with venous blood samples over an extended duration of 24 hours and reported interim data suggesting that 24 hour in-use sensor life was viable.

Affiliated Company Relationships

Nemaura Pharma was incorporated in November 2005. Through October 2013, all technology development and related transactions were incurred by Pharma. As new technology platforms were invented and developed, additional companies were set up to contain these new technology platforms, and to aid in the process of raising further investments to progress the development of these subsequent technologies. However, due to the small size of the operations, low number of employees and laboratory and office space required, initially, certain costs were borne by Pharma and charged to DDL as required. On April 4, 2018, a service agreement was put into place between Pharma and DDL which covered the development of sugarBEAT® under Pharma’s ISO13485 Accreditation. In lieu of these services, Pharma invoices DDL on a periodic basis for said services. Services are provided at cost plus a service surcharge amounting to less than 10% of the total costs incurred. This agreement includes all aspects of the development, registration and manufacture of sugarBEAT®.

Full legal title and beneficial ownership of the CE mark and all related intellectual property remains with Nemaura Medical under the terms of the service contract. 

Dr. D.F.H. Chowdhury, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Bashir Timol, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, are officers of Pharma. The current management at DDL, including Dr. D. F. H. Chowdhury allocate 15% - 20% of their time to oversee the current operations at Pharma and will in due course implement a new management team in Pharma, and provide ongoing support in an advisory role. Pharma is a drug delivery company, which means that its activities are entirely related to the administration of drugs to the body of a human or animal subject. DDL is a diagnostic company, which means it is entirely focused on extracting molecules from the human or animal subject and analyzing it to make a diagnosis or to monitor the level of a particular molecule such as glucose. These are two independent businesses engaged in different activities, therefore there is no conflict of interest between the two and management does not see any conflicts arising from the allocations of some of DDL management time to overseeing the operations of Pharma.

Payments made solely for work that Dr. D. F. H. Chowdhury performs for Pharma in his capacity as manager are not charged to Nemaura Medical Inc. and are not included in our consolidated financial statements.

Inflation

 

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on its operations to date, other than its impact on the general economy. However, there is a risk that the Company’s operating costs could become subject to inflationary and interest rate pressures in the future, which would have the effect of increasing the Company’s operating costs (including, specifically, clinical trial costs in countries where the Company is applying to sell its products), and which would put additional stress on the Company’s working capital resources.

 

Nasdaq Compliance Deficiencies

 

As previously disclosed, on April 3, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Department (the “Nasdaq Staff”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the $35 million minimum market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Accordingly, the Company was granted a grace period that expired on October 2, 2023. In addition, on April 6, 2023, the Company received a written notice that the Company was not in compliance with the $1 bid price (“Bid Price”) requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and was granted a grace period that expired on October 3, 2023.

 

On October 3 and 4, 2023, respectively, the Company received written notices from the Nasdaq Staff indicating that the Company had not regained compliance with the MVLS and Bid Price requirements, and that the Company’s common stock would be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

 

Accordingly, the Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel. The hearing request automatically stayed any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. In that regard, pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Panel may grantgranted an extension not to exceed April 1, 2024. Notwithstanding, there can be no assurance thatHowever following further attrition to its share price, and the Panel will grantneed for substantial dilution to existing shareholders as part of the Company an additional extension period or that the Company willcompanies plan to regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing onNasdaq rules, management did not see it in the best interest of shareholders to effect such dilution and chose to de-list the company from the Nasdaq to the Over The Nasdaq Capital Market.

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.

In addition, we have sustained cumulative losses of $55,681,819$57,843,297 as of September 30,December 31, 2023. We have historically financed our operations through a combination of debt and equity funding.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $3,806,608$5,968,086 and used cash in operations of $5,724,109.$7,203,676. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in its report on the Company’s March 31, 2023 financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In evaluating the going concern position of the company, management has considered potential funding providers and believes that financing to fund future operations could be provided by equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that funding would be available, or that the terms of such funding would be on favorable terms if available. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

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 sixnine month period ended September 30,December 31, 2023, 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

 

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the officers who certify the Company's financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30,December 31, 2023. Based on his evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30,December 31, 2023 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30,December 31, 2023. As of September 30,December 31, 2023, management’s assessment identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:

 

We continue to have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in the March 31, 2023 Form 10-K, in that the Company did not design and maintain effective controls over (i) accounting for the foreign currency balance for a mark-to-market contract; and (ii) accounting for certain debt issuance costs in the computation of the effective interest rate for a loan note mainly due to lack of adequate technical expertise. Management is developing and implementing remediation plans to address the material weaknesses.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
