The Company excludes warrants outstanding, which are anti-dilutive given the Company is in a loss position, from the basic and diluted loss per share calculation.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, warrants to purchase one million shares of common stock were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2020, warrants to purchase 147,637 and 940,740 shares of common stock, respectively, and a unit purchase option to purchase 9,710 shares of common stock were considered anti-dilutive and were also excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2019, the equivalent number of warrants excluded from this calculation was 185,570 and the unit purchase option was 9,710.
NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE
On April 15, 2020, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Chicago Venture Partners, L.P. (the “Investor”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, 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 April 15, 2020 (the closing date), (i) the Investor (a) paid $1,000,000 in cash, (b) issued to the Company by Pharma(1) Investor Note #1 in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (“Investor Note #1”), and NDM.
The Secured Note is secured by all patents and related rights and items as defined in the related security agreement within the Secured Note. The Secured Note carries an original issue discount (“OID”) of $1,000,000. 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”), all of which amount is included in the initial principal balance of the Secured Note. The Purchase Price for the Secured Note is $5,000,000, computed as follows: $6,015,000 original principal balance, less the OID, less the commission expense of $325,000, resulting in cash proceeds of $4,675,000. The debt less the discount will be accreted over the 24-month term of the Secured Note using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is 34.3%. A monitoring fee equal to 0.833% of the outstanding balance will automatically be added to the outstanding balance on the outstanding balances atfirst day of each month.

NOTE 7 – OTHER ITEMS
(a) COVID-19 Pandemic
The outbreak of COVID-19 originating in Wuhan, China, in December 31, 20172019 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 global outbreak of £280,000.COVID-19 and are working with our customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders to mitigate the risks posed by its spread, 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 and patient self-monitoring, which therefore potentially enhances the prospects for the likes of the Company and its CGM product and planned digital healthcare offering.
(b) Management consultancy agreements
During the six month period ended September 30, 2020, $59,000 in stock-based compensation was shown as expense in relation to a management consulting company as a result of a release of prepaid expenses. This stock-based compensation was issued in the three month period ended September 30, 2020.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'SMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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. 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, with the ability to track and trend the data over days, weeks and months. 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.
CE approval was granted by the European Notified Body BSI in May 2019, allowing the product to be made available for commercial sale. 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. A mass-market launch is due to commence in the UK in the coming months via its UK licensee DB Ethitronix, whereby sugarBEAT™.will be available via a number of subscription models that are yet to be determined. 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. In addition it has been pursuing the possibility of launching sugarBEAT™.under the FDA Wellness guidance which would preclude it from an FDA assessment and allow the product to be launched in the U.S. for Wellness use, to provide prompts and educate users on factors affecting their blood sugar profiles. Further to discussions with the FDA Nemaura established that sugarBEAT™.can be classified under the Wellness guidance when it is used according to the FDA Wellness guidance notes. Nemaura plans to launch this in the U.S. under the brand proBEAT™. During the quarter ended September 30, 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™. is planned for launch in the U.S. in December 2020, aimed at the management or reversal of Type 2 diabetes.
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). |
The Company has experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. At December 31, 2017,September 30, 2020, the Company had approximate cash and fixed rate cash account balances of $6,454,000,$16,948,939, working capital of $5,509,000,$14,833,369, total stockholders' equity of $4,498,000$11,242,427 and an accumulated deficit of $8,420,000.$20,267,348. To date, the Company has in large part relied on equity financing to fund its operations. Additional funding has come from related party contributions. 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.
16 |
Management's strategic assessment includes the following potential options:
· | obtaining further regulatory approval for the sugarBEAT™.device in other countries such as the U.S.; |
· | pursuing capital raising opportunities; |
· | exploring licensing opportunities; and |
· | developing the sugarBEAT™.device for commercialization for other applications. |

Although the revenue is deferred at December 31, 2017, the cash payment became immediately available and was being used to fund our operations, including research and development costs associated with obtaining the CE marking approval.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $355,300$456,280 and $267,638$462,517 for the three monthsmonth periods ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 and 2016,2019, respectively. This amount consisted primarilycontinues to be largely composed of expenditure on clinical trials,wages and sub-contractor activities consultancy fees and wages and demonstrated continuing expenditureincurred in finalizing the product design for improvements madethe sugarBEAT™.device in order to enable scaling of the sugarBEAT device. The increase of $87,662 is due to increases in these costs as the sugarBEAT product entered clinical trials.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $121,053$771,533 and $107,728$654,523 for the three monthsmonth periods ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 and 2016,2019, respectively. These consistedGiven 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. The increase of $13,325 was due to increases in professional fees as the CGM device enters clinical trials and legal fees incurred as the company prepares for future product launch. We expect general and administrative expenses to remain at similar levels going forward, in the long term, as therewe anticipate that most of these costs will continueneed to be professional, consultancy and legal fees associated with planned fundraising.
Other Comprehensive Loss
For the three months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 and 2016,2019, other comprehensive income/(loss)loss was $36,641$19,333 and ($396,445)$7,401, respectively, arising from foreign currency translation adjustments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. We have sustained cumulative losses of $8,419,817$20,267,348 through December 31, 2017.September 30, 2020. We have historically financed our operations through the issuances of equity and contributions of services from related entities.
At December 31, 2017,September 30, 2020, the Company had net working capital of $5,509,132$14,833,369 which included cash and short-term fixed rate cash account balances of $6,453,745.$16,948,939. The Company reported a net loss of $1,267,184 for the nine monthsthree and six month periods ended December 31, 2017.September 30, 2020 of $1,581,217 and $2,681,273, respectively.
We have completed clinical studies required for FDA submission and in July 2020, we submitted an application to the FDA for approval of the device. Therefore we expect that research and development costs for glucose monitoring will be reduced. The Company had an $8 million unsecured senior credit facility made available from certain major stockholders on August 1, 2019. No draw down has been made to date.
On April 15, 2020, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Chicago Venture Partners, L.P. (the “Investor”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, 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 April 15, 2020 (the closing date), (i) the Investor (a) paid $1,000,000 in cash, level (including fixed rate(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 “Investor Notes”), 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 accounts)purchase price, together with the sum of the initial principal amounts of the Investor Notes.
The Secured Note is sufficientsecured by all patents and related rights and items as defined in the related security agreement within the Secured Note. The Secured Note carries an original issue discount (“OID”) of $1,000,000. 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”), all of which amount is included in the initial principal balance of the Secured Note. The Purchase Price for the completionSecured Note is $5,000,000, computed as follows: $6,015,000 original principal balance, less the OID, less the Transaction Expense Amount.
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 clinical studies andoutstanding balance will automatically be added to the initial scale upoutstanding balance on the first day of our manufacturing, our longeach month. The debt less the discount will be accreted over the term business plan is contingent upon our ability to raise additional funds. This may include a combination of debt, equity and licensing fees. If we are not successful in raising the funds needed in the specified timelines, the target dates for the achievement of the milestones will be extended.
We believe the cash position as of December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 plus the credit facility made available from certain major stockholders, is adequate for our current level of operations through February 2019,at least November 2021, and for the achievement of certain of our product development milestones. Our plan is to utilize theWe believe that our cash on hand will be sufficient to complete the following:

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
When we prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to(“U.S. GAAP”), we must make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statementswe report. Certain of these estimates result from judgements that can be subjective and accompanying notes. Future eventscomplex. As a result of that subjectivity and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determinationcomplexity, and because we continuously evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on a variety of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Exchange Risk
Our foreign currency exposure gives rise to market risk associated with exchange rate movements against the USU.S. dollar, our reporting currency. Currently, the majoritymost of our expenses and cash and fixed rate deposits are denominated in Great Britain Pounds Sterling (“GBP”), with the remaining portion denominated in USU.S. dollars. Fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily the USU.S. dollar against the Pound Sterling,GBP, will affect our financial position. At December 31, 2017,September 30, 2020, the Company held approximately $6$2.925 million in GBP-denominated bank and fixed rate cash accounts. Based on this balance, a 1% depreciation of the PoundGBP against the USU.S. dollar would cause an approximate $60 thousand$29,250 reduction in cash and fixed rate deposit account balances.
We have not utilized any hedging instruments in order to mitigate the foreign currency risk.
Inflation
Historically, with UK inflation rates having been low in recent years, inflation has not had a significant effect on our business in the UK, the location of the substantial part of our activities.
