NEMAURA MEDICAL INC.
For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 20172023 and 2016
NOTE 31 – 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 nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $5,968,086and used cash in operations of $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.
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 nine months ended 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.
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 $1,184,412 and $1,145,451, respectively or 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.

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.
Basic earningsloss per share is computed by dividing incomethe loss available to common stockholdersshareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ThereDiluted 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 no potentially dilutive securities asdilutive. 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 December 31, 2017common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

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 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible. Holdersinstrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
The three levels of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on any and all matters presented to stockholders of the Company, except as provided by law. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has no preference to the common stock as to dividends or distributions of assets upon liquidation or winding up of the Company (which has been agreed to by the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock). The Company determined that 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 preferred shares issued for the common shares was equivalentassets 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 common shares exchanged.
The Foreign exchange contract derivative liability is valued using Level 2 fair values while the transaction was consummatedwarrant liability is valued using Level 3 fair values.
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and 137,324,000 sharesliabilities at fair value as of common stock were cancelled. AsDecember 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023:

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 is wholly non-refundable, upon signingwould have the agreement.

Management believes that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would not have a material effect on the up front fees received from this agreement have been deferred and will be recorded as income over the term of the commercial licensing agreement beginning from the date of clinical evaluation approval. As the Company expects commercialization of the sugarBEAT device to occur in the year ending March 31, 2019, approximately $101,000 of the deferred revenue has been classified as a current liability.

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.
At December 31, 2017,2023 and March 31, 2023, the fair value of the foreign currency contract liability was valued as follows:

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 nine month period ended 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. | Used feedback from the Company’s pre-diabetes and consumer metabolic health program with the UK National Health Service, to commence plans for a commercial launch of the program in various 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 nine month period ended 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 experienced recurring lossesselected 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 guidance. In these documents, FDA described a new policy whereby applicants could submit “Modular PMAs.” The goal of FDA’s 1998 guidance 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 negative cash flowsanalysis.
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 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 operations. At December 31, 2017,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 approximate cashnot regained compliance with the MVLS and fixed rate cash account balances of $6,454,000, working capital of $5,509,000, total stockholders' equity of $4,498,000Bid Price requirements, and an accumulated deficit of $8,420,000. To date,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 granted an extension not to exceed April 1, 2024. However following further attrition to its share price, and the need for substantial dilution to existing shareholders as part of the companies plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq 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 Counter market, with a view to strengthening the commercialization roadmap and partnering as a means of growing the company and generating revenues.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019 has in large part relied on equity financing to fundsince rapidly increased its operations. Additional funding has come from related party contributions. The Company expects toexposure globally. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. We continue to incur losses frommonitor 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 near-termCompany, its CGM product and these losses could be significant as product development, regulatory activities, clinical trials and other commercial and product development related expenses are incurred.

Critical Accounting Policies
When we prepare our unaudited 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. Actualfactors, actual results inevitably willcould materially differ from thoseour estimates and such differences may be materialassumptions if changes in one or more factors require us to the financial statements. The mostmake accounting adjustments. We believe our critical accounting policies affect our more significant accountingjudgments and estimates inherentused in the preparation of ourthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates associated with research and development, income taxes and intangible assets.
