Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, UBS, UBS LLC, HRL and UBS BV. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated condensed financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include deferred income taxes, research and development tax incentive income and stock-based compensation expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements           

The Company assesses the adoption impacts of recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on the Company's financial statements as well as material updates to previous assessments, if any, from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. There were no new material accounting standards issued in the fiscal second quarter of 2022 that impacted the Company.         

Net Loss per Share and Anti-dilutive Securities

Basic and diluted net loss per share is presented in conformity with ASC 260 – Earnings per Share. Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting the basic net loss per share by assuming all dilutive potential ordinary shares are converted.

Foreign Currency

Functional and Reporting Currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The functional currency of UBI and UBS is “A$” for all years presented. The functional currencies of UBS LLC, HRL and UBS BV are US$”, CAD$ and €, respectively, for all years presented.

The consolidated condensed financial statements are presented using a reporting currency of A$.

Transactions and Balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income/(loss).

The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the reporting currency are translated into the reporting currency as follows:

● assets and liabilities for each balance sheet item reported are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

● income and expenses for each income statement item reported are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

● all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are taken to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of all current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value because of their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of all other amounts has been determined, depending on the nature and complexity of the assets or the liability, by using one or all of the following approaches:

● Market approach – based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

● Cost approach – based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets less an allowance for functional and/or economic obsolescence.

● Income approach – based on the present value of a future stream of net cash flows.

These fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:

● Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs).

● Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable (Level 2 inputs).

● Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs).

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable consist of financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk to the extent of the amount recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are primarily invested with one of Australia’s largest banks. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the banks holding the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to the extent of the amount recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company has not identified any collectability issues with respect to receivables.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

The Company maintains cash and restricted cash, which includes performance guarantee issued in favor of a customer, tenant security deposits and credit card security deposits.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to dispose. Inventories are principally determined under the average cost method which approximates cost. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. The Company recognizes inventory on the consolidated condensed balance sheets when they have concluded that the substantial risks and rewards of ownership, as well as the control of the asset, have been transferred.

Receivables

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. The allowance is determined based on a review of individual accounts for collectability, generally focusing on those accounts that are past due. The expense to adjust the allowance for credit losses, if any, is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income/(loss). Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

Prepayments

Prepaid expenses represent expenditures that have not yet been recorded by the Company as an expense but have been paid for in advance. The Company’s prepayments are primarily represented by insurance premiums paid annually in advance.

Other Current Assets

The Company’s other current assets is primarily represented by the estimated receivable in relation to the research and development tax incentive income.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful life of machinery and equipment is three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the asset are charged to operations as incurred and include normal services and do not include items of a capital nature.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its capital assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. In performing the review, the Company estimates undiscounted cash flows from products under development that are covered by these patents and licenses. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value, based on discounted cash flows.

Intangible Assets

The intangible assets, having finite useful lives, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Finite life intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of their contractual or useful economic lives. The intangible assets comprise of distribution rights and are amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with an indefinite life are tested for impairment at least annually and when there is an indication of impairment. Refer to the ‘Impairment of Long-Lived Assets’ note for details of the Group’s impairment review process.

Australian Goods and Services Tax, Canadian Harmonized Sales Tax, US Sales Tax and European Value Added Tax, collectively “Sales Tax”

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of associated Sales Tax, unless the Sales Tax incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of Sales Tax receivable or payable. The net amount of Sales Tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other current assets or accrued expenses in the consolidated condensed balance sheets dependent on whether the balance owed to the taxation authorities is in a net receivable or payable position.

Leases

At contract inception, the Company determines if the new contractual arrangement is a lease or contains a leasing arrangement. If a contract contains a lease, the Company evaluates whether it should be classified as an operating or a finance lease. Upon modification of the contract, the Company will reassess to determine if a contract is or contains a leasing arrangement.

The Company records lease liabilities based on the future estimated cash payments discounted over the lease term, defined as the non-cancellable time period of the lease, together with all the following:

● periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option; and

● periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise the termination option.

Leases may also include options to terminate the arrangement or options to purchase the underlying lease property. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. Lease components provide the Company with the right to use an identified asset, which consist of the Company’s real estate properties and office equipment. Non-lease components consist primarily of maintenance services.

As an implicit discount rate is not readily determinable in the Company’s lease agreements, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. For certain leases with original terms of twelve months or less, the Company recognizes lease expense as incurred and does not recognize any lease liabilities. Short-term and long-term portions of operating and finance lease liabilities are classified as lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

A right-of-use (“ROU”) asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability with adjustments, if applicable, for lease incentives, initial direct costs incurred by the Company and lease prepayments made prior to or at lease commencement. ROU assets are classified as operating or finance lease right-of-use assets, net of accumulated amortization, on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company evaluates the carrying value of ROU assets if there are indicators of potential impairment and performs the analysis concurrent with the review of the recoverability of the related asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group is determined to not be fully recoverable and is in excess of its estimated fair value, the Company will record an impairment loss in its consolidated condensed statements of income and comprehensive income/(loss).

Lease payments may be fixed or variable, however, only fixed payments or in-substance fixed payments are included in the Company’s lease liability calculation. Variable lease payments are recognized in operating expenses in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) are legal obligations associated with the retirement and removal of long-lived assets. ASC 410 – Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation when it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the Company capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying amounts of the related property, plant and equipment. Over time, the liability increases for the change in its present value, while the capitalized cost depreciates over the useful life of the asset. The Company derecognizes ARO liabilities when the related obligations are settled.

The ARO is in relation to our premises where in accordance with the terms of the lease, the lessee has to restore part of the building upon vacating the premises.

Revenue Recognition

The Group recognizes revenue predominantly from the sale of coagulation and wine testing devices (which comprises analyzer’s and testing strips) and the provision of coagulation testing services based on the provisions of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In accordance with this provision, to determine whether to recognize revenue, the Group follows a five-step process:

a) Identifying the contract with a customer;

b) Identifying the performance obligations within the customer contract;

c) Determining the transaction price;

d) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation; and

e) Recognizing revenue when/as performance obligations are satisfied.

Nature of goods and services

The following is a description of products and services from which the Company generates its revenue.

Products and services	Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms
Coagulation testing products	Our point-of-care coagulation testing products use electrochemical cell technology to measure Prothrombin Time (PT/INR), a test used to monitor the effect of the anticoagulant therapy warfarin. The performance obligation for the sale of these products is satisfied at a point-in-time when the Company transfers control of the products to its customer. The point of transfer of control of the products is dictated by individual terms contained within a customer agreement, as are the payment terms. The transaction price is fixed.
Laboratory testing services	HRL provides non-diagnostic laboratory services and performs these services on behalf of customers. The performance obligation for the services is satisfied when the testing has been finalized and results have been reported to the customer. In some cases, the performance obligations will be satisfied as predetermined milestones have been achieved by the Company.
Wine testing products	Our Sentia wine analyzer is used to measure free SO₂, Malic Acid and Glucose levels in wine. The performance obligation for the sale of this product is satisfied at a point-in-time when the Company transfers control of the products to its customer. The point of transfer of control of the products is dictated by the individual terms contained within a customer agreement, as are the individual payment terms. The transaction price is fixed.

See Note 10 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for a disaggregation of revenue.

Interest Income

Interest income is recognized as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield and consists of interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in interest-bearing accounts.

Research and Development Tax Incentive Income         

Research and development tax incentive income is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the income will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the consideration can be reliably measured.

The research and development tax incentive is one of the key elements of the Australian Government’s support for Australia’s innovation system and is supported by legislative law primarily in the form of the Australian Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 as long as eligibility criteria are met. Subject to meeting a number of conditions, an entity involved in eligible R&D activities may claim research and development tax incentive income as follows:

(1) as a 43.5% refundable tax offset if aggregate turnover (which generally means an entity’s total income that it derives in the ordinary course of carrying on a business, subject to certain exclusions) of the entity is less than A$20,000,000, or

(2) as a 38.5% non-refundable tax offset if aggregate turnover of the entity is more than A$20,000,000.

In accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Article 5-03, the Company’s research and development tax incentive income has been recognized as non-operating income as it is not indicative of the core operating activities or revenue producing goals of the Company.

Management has assessed the Company’s R&D activities and expenditures to determine which activities and expenditures are likely to be eligible under the tax incentive regime described above. At each period end management estimates the refundable tax offset available to the Company based on available information at the time. This estimate is also reviewed by external tax advisors on an annual basis.

The Company has recorded research and development tax incentive income of A$640,646 and A$2,623,260 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. As at September 30, 2022 there is reasonable assurance that the aggregate turnover of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 will be less than A$20,000,000.

Federal and State Government Subsidies

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments in the countries in which we operate implemented government assistance measures to assist in mitigating some of the impact of the pandemic on our results and liquidity. To the extent appropriate, we applied for such government grants in Australia and Canada and recognize the grants at their fair value as other income when there is reasonable assurance that we have complied with all conditions attached to them.

Research and Development Expenditure

R&D expenses consist of costs incurred to further the Company’s research and product development activities and include salaries and related employee benefits, costs associated with clinical trial and preclinical development, regulatory activities, research-related overhead expenses, costs associated with the manufacture of clinical trial material, costs associated with developing a commercial manufacturing process, costs for consultants and related contract research, facility costs and depreciation. R&D costs are expensed as incurred as they fall in the scope of ASC 730 ‘Research and Development’. Of the A$8.98 million total R&D, $6.52 million is non-recurring and is a one time investment in the veterinarian blood glucose product, Xprecia Prime (including clinical and development trials), Tn Antigen biosensor and Sentia products.

Clinical Trial Expenses

Clinical trial costs are a component of R&D expenses. These expenses include fees paid to participating hospitals and other service providers, which conduct certain testing activities on behalf of the Company. Depending on the timing of payments to the service providers and the level of service provided, the Company records prepaid or accrued expenses relating to these costs.

Stock-based Compensation

We measure stock-based compensation at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognize the cost as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Trinomial Lattice model.

We record deferred tax assets for awards that will result in deductions on our income tax returns, based on the amount of compensation cost recognized and our statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which we will receive a deduction. Differences between the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and the actual tax deduction reported in our income tax return are recorded in expense or in capital in excess of par value if the tax deduction exceeds the deferred tax assets or to the extent that previously recognized credits to paid-in-capital are still available if the tax deduction is less than the deferred tax asset.

Employee Benefit Costs

The Company contributes a portion of each employee’s salary to standard defined contribution superannuation funds on behalf of all eligible UBS employees in line with legislative requirements. In line with legislative updates, the contribution rate increased from 9.50% to 10.0% for the period commenced July 1, 2021, and increased to 10.5% on July 1, 2022,. Superannuation is an Australian compulsory savings program plan for retirement whereby employers are required to pay a portion of an employee’s remuneration to an approved superannuation fund that the employee is typically not able to access until they have reached the statutory retirement age. Whilst the Company has a third-party default superannuation fund, it permits UBS employees to choose an approved and registered superannuation fund into which the contributions are paid. Contributions are charged to the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income/(loss) as the expense is incurred.

Registered Retirement Savings Plan and Deferred Sharing Profit Plan

The Company provides eligible HRL employees a retirement plan. The retirement plan includes a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (“RRSP”) and Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (“DPSP”). The RRSP is voluntary and the employee contributions are matched by the Company up to a maximum of 5% based on their continuous years of service and placed into the RRSP. The Company contributes 1% to 2% of the employee’s base earnings towards the DPSP. The DPSP contributions are vested immediately.

Benefit Plan

The Company provides eligible HRL employees a Benefit Plan. In general, the Benefit Plan includes extended health care, dental care, basic life insurance, basic accidental death and dismemberment and disability insurance.

401k Plan

The Company acts as a plan sponsor for a 401K plan for eligible UBS LLC employees. A 401K plan is a US-based defined-contribution pension account into which the employees can elect to have a percentage of their salary deducted and contributed to the plan.  Their contributions are matched by the Company up to a maximum of 10% of their salary. 

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and the United States. The Company applies ASC 740 - Income Taxes which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from a Company’s activities during the current and preceding years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Where it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, the deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Pursuant to the U.S. tax reform rules, UBI is subject to regulations addressing Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"). The GILTI rules are provisions of the U.S. tax code enacted as a part of tax reform legislation in the U.S. passed in December 2017. Mechanically, the GILTI rule functions as a global minimum tax for all U.S. shareholders of controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) and applies broadly to certain income generated by a CFC. The Company can make an accounting policy election to either: (1) treat GILTI as a period cost if and when incurred; or (2) recognize deferred taxes for basis differences that are expected to reverse as GILTI in future years. The Company has elected to treat GILTI as a period cost.

Lease contracts may include one or more renewal options that allow the Company to extend the lease. The exercise of lease options is generally at the discretion of the Company. None of the Company’s leases contain residual value guarantees, substantial restrictions, or covenants. The Company’s leases are substantially within Australia and Canada.

Operating Leases

On January 1, 2021, the lease for 1 Corporate Avenue was terminated and a new lease entered into simultaneously. The lease expires on December 31, 2025 with an option to renew the lease for two further terms of five years each. The renewal option periods have not been included in the lease term as the Company is not reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

13. Related Party Transactions

Details of related party transactions material to the operations of the Group other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances and other similar items in the ordinary course of business, are set out below:

Mr. Coleman is a Non-Executive Chairman of the Company and an Executive Chairman and Associate of Viburnum Funds Pty Ltd (“Viburnum”). Viburnum, as an investment manager for its associated funds, holds a beneficial interest and voting power over approximately 26% of UBI’s shares.

On April 20, 2022, the Company announced a fully underwritten non-renounceable rights issue of new CHESS depositary interests over fully paid ordinary shares in UBI (“New CDIs”) to raise approximately A$20.00 million (“Entitlement Offer”) at a ratio of 1 New CDI for every 6.85 existing CDIs held at the record date, being April 27, 2022.

In connection with the Entitlement Offer, on April 19, 2022, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Viburnum (the “Underwriter”). Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter agreed to take up its full entitlement under the Entitlement Offer and fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer, which meant that the Underwriter agreed to subscribe for or procure others to subscribe for all securities (if any) not subscribed for by the Company’s eligible securityholders under the Entitlement Offer. Following the close of the Entitlement Offer, 25.9 million New CDIs were issued to Viburnum on May 27, 2022, which raised approximately A$19.94 million.

The Company also agreed, subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company, to issue to the Underwriter (or its nominee) unlisted options to purchase up to 3,840,000 ordinary shares, in two tranches, as its underwriting fee (the “Underwriter Options”) in lieu of cash compensation. The Underwriter Options vested upon issue on May 27, 2022 and have an expiry date of 3 years from their date of issue. The exercise price in respect of half of the Underwriter Options is an amount equal to 120% of the Offer Price, or A$0.92. The second half of the Underwriter Options have an exercise price equal to 130% of the Offer Price, or A$1.00. The stockholders of the Company approved the issuance of the Underwriter Options at a special meeting of stockholders held on May 23, 2022.

In accordance with ASC 718, the fair value of the Underwriter Options granted were estimated at the date of the grant using the Trinomial Lattice mode. The key assumptions for the grant were:

	Tranche 1			Tranche 2
Exercise Price ($A)		0.92			1.00
Share Price at Grant Date (A$)		0.44			0.44
Volatility		64	%		64	%
Maximum Life (years)		3.00			3.00
Risk-Free Interest rate		2.78	%		2.78	%
Fair Value (A$)		0.06			0.05

Each of the inputs to the Trinomial Lattice model is discussed below.

Share Price and Exercise Price at Valuation Date

The value of the options granted has been determined using the closing price of our common stock trading in the form of CDIs on ASX at the time of grant of the options. The ASX is the only exchange upon which our securities are quoted.

Volatility

We applied volatility having regard to the historical price change of our shares in the form of CDIs available from the ASX.

Risk free rate

The risk free rate which we applied is equivalent to the yield on an Australian government bond with a time to expiry approximately equal to the expected time to expiry on the options being valued.

On May 27, 2022, Viburnum acquired from a member of management, unlisted options to purchase up to 1,000,000 ordinary shares. The options fully vested on March 25, 2020, have an exercise price of $A0.20 and have an expiry date of March 24, 2024.

There were no material related party transactions or balances as at September 30, 2022 other than as disclosed above.

Item 2         Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. You should read this analysis in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This Form 10-Q contains, including this discussion and analysis, certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by such acts. For this purpose, any statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements, including statements relating to future events and our future financial performance. Those statements in this Form 10-Q containing the words “anticipates”, “assumes”, “believes”, “can”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “future”, “illustration”, “intends”, “may”, “plans”, “predicts”, “will”, “would” and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about the Company and its businesses. All such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results to be materially different from those results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including those set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

Results of Operations

Analysis of Consolidated Revenue

Our total revenue decreased by 17% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the previous financial year.

Revenue from Products

The financial results of the coagulation and wine testing products we sold during the respective periods are as follows:

	Three Months ended September 30,						Nine Months ended September 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
	A$			A$			A$			A$
Revenue from products		444,158			590,421			2,802,600			3,161,469
Cost of goods sold		(152,492	)		(364,667	)		(1,199,380	)		(1,771,044	)
Gross profit		291,666			225,754			1,603,220			1,390,425

Our wine testing product sales remained consistent during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the previous financial year (within 1% variation). The mix of Sentia sales has moved away from large stocking orders to distributors towards more direct sales to wineries and repeat orders for the consumable test strips.

With regards to our coagulation testing products, we have successfully acquired over 50% of the distributors from the old Siemens distribution network which are now buying directly from us. The decline in coagulation testing product revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in the previous financial year has largely been the result of the time it takes to transition customers to our network and a reduction in sales to Siemens during these periods. Our newly acquired distribution network will also champion the sales of Xprecia Prime, our next generation coagulation testing product.

Revenue from Services

The financial results of the laboratory testing services we provided during the respective periods are as follows:

	Three Months ended September 30,						Nine Months ended September 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
	A$			A$			A$			A$
Laboratory testing services		235,818			568,525			961,163			1,389,365
Cost of services		(117,899	)		(321,819	)		(910,368	)		(941,928	)
Gross profit		117,919			246,706			50,795			447,437

19

Revenue from laboratory testing declined during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in the previous financial year due to the timing of completion of a major project for one of HRL’s largest customers. To date, 2022 has been a transitional period for HRL as they moved the laboratory into a new location, which involved almost 6 weeks of shutdown. Alongside the move to the new location, HRL has invested and expanded its specialist services into inflammatory disease, cytokines and multiplex immunoassay platform.

Adjusted EBITDA

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations and stock-based compensation expense. Management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors to make informed investment decisions, including our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt and enhances understanding of our financial performance and operational trends. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, U.S. GAAP. The most comparable U.S. GAAP measure is net loss. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA for the respective periods and a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

	Three Months ended September 30,						Nine Months ended September 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
	A$			A$			A$			A$
Net loss		(5,025,577	)		(2,874,864	)		(14,204,516	)		(6,084,977	)
Interest income		(133,689	)		(11,342	)		(172,304	)		(43,086	)
Interest expense		4,117			0			17,379			0
Depreciation and amortization		631,923			662,717			2,157,021			1,899,692
Accretion expense		31,907			32,492			95,720			97,476
Stock-based compensation expense		69,849			27,015			214,072			56,626
Adjusted EBITDA		(4,421,470	)		(2,163,982	)		(11,892,628	)		(4,074,269	)

The decline in Adjusted EBITDA during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in the previous financial year is primarily a result of increased investment in R&D. The company invested an additional A$175,568 and A$3,686,292 in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 (compared to prior periods). A$1,238,231 and A$3,705,815 in the three and nine months respectively, was invested into the development of the veterinarian blood glucose product. Additionally, $157,400 and $477,561 was spent on our FDA clinical trial for Xprecia Prime in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022. Our veterinarian blood glucose product and Xprecia Prime are in final development stages. Selling, general and administrative expenditure increased as a result of investment into our sales and marketing activities for our Sentia and Xprecia Prime products as we expand into new markets on a global scale.

Product Support

Product support relates to post-market technical support provided by us for the Xprecia Stride and Wine testing devices.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

	Three Months ended September 30,				Nine Months ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	A$		A$		A$		A$
Depreciation		217,148		250,279		926,145		675,827
Amortization		414,775		412,438		1,230,876		1,223,865
Depreciation and amortization		631,923		662,717		2,157,021		1,899,692

Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is allocated to cost of goods sold and R&D based on output. The increase in depreciation during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the previous financial year is due to certain plant and equipment being fully written off.

20

Amortization expense predominantly represents intangible assets amortized over their estimated useful lives. These intangible assets were acquired in September 2019 pursuant to the Siemens Acquisition and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. Amortization expense also includes the amortization expense calculated on the Company’s finance lease liabilities.

Research and Development Expenses

R&D expenditure principally reflects the effort required in product development of the tests we are developing.

The primary focus of the R&D activities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were developing the Company's:

● additional tests on our wine testing platform;

● next generation PT-INR Coagulation platform including FDA clinical trial programs;

● Tn Antigen biosensor used for the detection, staging and monitoring of cancer;

● biosensor strip and meter to be used for the detection and monitoring of diabetes in non-humans; and

● aptamer based sensing platform including a COVID-19 test.

R&D expenditure increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in the previous financial year because of the increased development activities noted above.

The timing and cost of any development program is dependent upon a number of factors including achieving technical objectives, which are inherently uncertain and subsequent regulatory approvals. We have project plans in place for all our development programs which we use to plan, manage and assess our projects. As part of this procedure, we also undertake commercial assessments of such projects to optimize outcomes and decision making.

Additionally, R&D expenses are related to the development of new technologies and products based on the electrochemical cell platform.

The Company conducts R&D activities to build an expanding portfolio of product-based revenues and cash flows and increase the value of the Company’s core technology assets. Research is focused on demonstrating technical feasibility of new technology applications. Development activity is focused on turning these technology platforms into commercial-ready products and represents the majority of the Company’s R&D expenses.

R&D expenses consist of costs associated with research activities, as well as costs associated with our product development efforts, including pilot manufacturing costs. R&D expenses include:

● consultant and employee related expenses, which include consulting fees, salaries and benefits;

● materials and consumables acquired for the research and development activities;

● verification and validation work on the various R&D projects including clinical trials;

● external research and development expenses incurred under agreements with third party organizations and universities; and

● facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, depreciation of leasehold improvements and equipment and laboratory and other supplies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation expense for certain personnel. Other selling, general and administrative expenses include sales and marketing costs to support our products in the market, shipping and handling costs incurred when fulfilling customer orders, repairs and maintenance, insurance, facility costs not otherwise included in R&D expenses, consultancy fees and professional fees including legal services and maintenance fees incurred for patent applications, audit and accounting services.

General and administrative expenses increased by 102% and 91% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in the previous financial year primarily due to an investment in the Company’s sales and marketing strategy. The Company’s direct sales force in the USA and Europe for our wine and coagulation testing products commenced in the first quarter of 2022.

Interest Income

Interest income increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in the previous financial year. The increase in interest income is attributable to the higher amount of funds available for investment following the issuance of common stock and higher interest rates.

Financing Costs

Disclosed in this account is accretion expense which is associated with the Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”).

21

Interest Expense

Interest expense relates to interest being charged on the secured short-term borrowing initiated by the Company for the 2022 financial year and the interest expense on finance lease liabilities.

Research and Development Tax Incentive Income

As at September 30, 2022 there is reasonable assurance that the aggregate turnover of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2022 will be less than A$20,000,000 and accordingly an estimated A$640,646 and A$2,623,260 has been recorded as research and development tax incentive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the previous financial year is driven by the increase in eligible research and development expenditure incurred. The decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 is driven by the nature of the R&D expenditure being incurred. Specifically, some of the Company’s R&D activities carried out overseas is not eligible for the R&D tax incentive.

Research and development tax incentive income for the 2021 financial year has not yet been received and as such is recorded in “Other current assets” in the consolidated condensed balance sheet.

Exchange Gain/(Loss)

Foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the settlement of foreign currency transactions that are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Other Income

Other income is as follows for the relevant periods:

	Three Months ended September 30,				Nine Months ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	A$		A$		A$		A$
Federal and state government subsidies		0		0		0		153,001
Rental income		33,475		35,182		103,744		127,837
Other income		10,789		0		45,572		137,333
		44,264		35,182		149,316		418,171

Federal and state government subsidies primarily includes the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy which represents assistance provided by government authorities as a stimulus during COVID-19.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include deferred income taxes, research and development tax incentive income and stock-based compensation expenses:

Deferred Income Taxes

We compute our deferred income taxes based on the statutory tax rates, future forecasts and tax planning opportunities. Judgement is required in determining our future forecasts and evaluating our tax positions.

Our estimates are made based on the best available information at the time we prepare our consolidated condensed financial statements. In making our estimates, we consider the impact of legislative and judicial developments. As these developments evolve, we update our estimates, which, in turn, may result in adjustments to our effective tax rate.

We anticipate realization of a significant portion of our deferred tax assets through the reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, will be realized.

Uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are recognized (or derecognized) in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained on its technical merits upon examination by tax authorities, taking into account available administrative remedies and litigation. Assessment of uncertain tax positions requires significant judgments relating to the amounts, timing and likelihood of resolution.

22

Stock-based Compensation Expenses

Probability of attaining vesting conditions and the fair value of the stock-based compensation is highly subjective and requires judgement, and results could change materially if different estimates and assumptions were used. The probability assumptions are critically examined by management each reporting period and reviewed by the board of directors for reasonableness.

Research and Development Tax Incentive Income

The refundable tax offset is one of the key elements of the Australian Government’s support for Australia’s innovation system and if eligible, provides the recipient with cash based upon its eligible research and development activities and expenditures. The calculation of the refundable tax offset requires judgement as to what is eligible research and development activity and expenditure and the outcome will change if different assumptions are used.

Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the 2021 Form 10-K describes in further detail the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates since the 2021 Form 10-K. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recognition of revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash/ (Debt)

Our net cash/ (debt) position is shown below:

	September 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
	A$			A$
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents		26,933,003			15,318,201
Total cash and cash equivalents		26,933,003			15,318,201
Debt
Short-term debt/ loan		0			(64,900	)
Long-term debt/loan		(67,355	)		0
Total debt		(67,355	)		(64,900	)
Net cash		26,865,648			15,253,301

Since inception, we have financed our business primarily through the issuance of equity securities, funding from strategic partners, government grants and rebates (including the research and development tax incentive income), cash flows generated from operations and a loan.

The increase in our net cash position is primarily a result of the A$26 million raised pursuant to a A$20 million fully underwritten rights issue and a A$6 million placement, both at A$0.77, which occurred during May 2022.

We believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulty meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all the financial commitments and obligations of the Company as they come due. In managing the Company’s capital, management estimates future cash requirements by preparing a budget and a multi-year plan for review and approval by the Board of Directors (“the Board”). The budget is reviewed and updated periodically and establishes the approved activities for the next twelve months and estimates the costs associated with those activities. The multi-year plan estimates future activity along with the potential cash requirements and is based upon management’s assessment of current progress along with the expected results from the coming years’ activity. Budget to actual variances are prepared and reviewed by management and are presented on a regular basis to the Board.

The carrying value of the cash and cash equivalents and the accounts receivables approximates fair value because of their short-term nature.

23

We regularly review all our financial assets for impairment. There were no impairments recognized as at September 30, 2022 or for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company is continuing to monitor the potential impact of COVID-19, if any, on the Company’s business and financial position.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider our own and counterparty credit risk.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021, we did not have any assets or liabilities that utilize Level 3 inputs.  

We had no derivatives or outstanding contracts in place through the period ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Measures of Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table provides certain relevant measures of liquidity and capital resources:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	A$		A$
Cash and cash equivalents		26,933,003		15,318,201
Working capital		27,974,196		15,448,181
Ratio of current assets to current liabilities		3.14		2.64
Shareholders’ equity per common share		0.18		0.16

The movement in cash and cash equivalents and working capital (calculated as current assets less current liabilities) during the above periods was primarily the result of the A$26 million raised pursuant to a A$20 million fully underwritten rights issue and a A$6 million placement which occurred in May 2022. This was offset by ongoing investment in our R&D activities and expenditure associated with the general operations of the Company.

We have not identified any collection issues with respect to receivables.

Summary of Cash Flows

	Nine Months ended September 30, 2022			Year Ended December 31, 2021
	A$			A$
Cash provided by/ (used in):
Operating activities		(13,964,271	)		(9,896,620	)
Investing activities		(1,043,480	)		(664,584	)
Financing activities		25,012,592			95,621
Net increase/ (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		10,004,841			(10,465,583	)

Our net cash used in operating activities for all periods represents receipts offset by payments for our R&D projects including efforts involved in establishing and maintaining our manufacturing operations and selling, general and administrative expenditure. Cash outflows from operating activities primarily represent the ongoing investment in our R&D activities and the general operations of the Company.

Our net cash used in investing activities for all periods is primarily for the purchase of various equipment and for the various continuous improvement programs we are undertaking.

Our net cash increase in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is driven by proceeds received pursuant to the issuance of common stock and from the short-term loan facility the Company entered into to finance its 2022 insurance premium. This increase was offset by transaction costs incurred to facilitate the issuance of common stock and repayments of the Company’s short-term loan facility.
