NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars — except for share data and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

 

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

The principal activity of Quotient Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) is the development, manufacture and sale of products for the global transfusion diagnostics market. Products manufactured by the Group are sold to hospitals, blood banking operations and other diagnostics companies worldwide.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are unaudited. In accordance with those rules and regulations, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The March 31, 20192020 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended March 31, 20192020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. The results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 20202021 and any future period.

The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations in each year since it commenced operations in 2007 and had an accumulated deficit of $404.2$508.9 million as of June 30, 2019.2020. At June 30, 20192020, the Company had available cash holdings and short-term investments of $90.7$94.5 million.The Company is currently involved in an arbitration dispute with Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. (“Ortho”), and an arbitration hearing is scheduled for September 2020 (see Note 6). An adverse outcome of this dispute in addition to the Company’s expenditure plans over the next 12 months and the generation of lower than expected sales could result in an impact on the liquidity and financial position of the business such that the net cash outflows over the next 12 months could exceed the Company’s existing available cash and short-term investment balances, are adequateraising substantial doubt about its ability to meet its forecasted cash requirements for the next twelve months and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on thecontinue as a going concern basis.concern.

In the longer term, theThe Company expects to fund its operations, including the ongoing development of MosaiQ through successful field trial completion, achievement of required regulatory authorizations and commercialization from the use of existing available cash and short-term investment balances, cash generated through ongoing sales of the Company’s COVID-19 antibody test, and the issuance of new equity or debt.debt, and accordingly has prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sales as expected or obtain adequate financing when necessary and the terms of any financings may not be advantageous to the Company and may result in dilution to its shareholders.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a strain of novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, a global pandemic. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Company’s business, operations and financial results will depend on future developments and numerous evolving factors, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. As of the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to further update estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of any assets or liabilities. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from these estimates.those estimates and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. AllAt June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, all cash and cash equivalents comprised readily accessible cash balances. Restricted cash comprised $8.7 million and $7.2 million at both June 30, 20192020 and March 31, 2019, respectively,2020, held in a cash reserve account pursuant to the indenture governing the Company’s 12% Senior Secured Notes (“the Secured Notes”) and $316$321 and $307$317 at June 30, 20192020 and March 31, 2019,2020, respectively, held in a restricted account as security for the property rental obligations of the Company’s Swiss subsidiary.

- 7 -


Short-term Investments

Short-term investments represent investments in a money-market fund which is valued daily and which has no minimum notice period for withdrawals. The fund is invested in a portfolio of holdings and the creditworthiness requirement for individual investment holdings is a minimum of an A rating from a leading credit-rating agency. The Company records the value of its investment in the fund based on the quoted value of the fund at the balance sheet date. Unrealized gains or losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are transferred to the statement of comprehensive loss when they are realized.

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible trade receivables. Movements in the allowance for doubtful accounts are recorded in general and administrative expenses. The Company reviews its trade receivables to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In addition, the Company maintains an allowance for all other receivables not included in the specific reserve by applying specific rates of projected uncollectible receivables to the various aging categories. In determining these percentages, the Company analyzes its historical collection experience, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms.

Concentration of Credit Risks and Other Uncertainties

The carrying amounts for financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Derivative instruments, consisting of foreign exchange contracts, and short-term investments are stated at their estimated fair values, based on quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments. The counterparties to the foreign exchange contracts consist of large financial institutions of high credit standing. The short-term investments are invested in a fund which is invested in a portfolio of holdings and the creditworthiness requirement for individual investment holdings is a minimum of an A rating from a leading credit-rating agency.

The Company’s main financial institutions for banking operations holdheld all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 20192020 and at March 31, 2019.2020. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from net revenue to customers and distributors located in the United States and other countries. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company provides reserves for potential credit losses, but has not experienced significant losses to date. There was one1 customer whose accounts receivable balance represented 10% or more of total accounts receivable, net, as of June 30, 20192020 and March 31, 2019.2020. This customer represented 70% and 55% of the accounts receivable balances as of both June 30, 20192020 and March 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

The Company currently sells products through its direct sales force and through third-party distributors. There was one1 customer that accounted for 10% or more of total product sales for the quarters ended June 30, 20192020 and June 30, 2018.2019. This customer represented 58%62% of total product sales for the quarter ended June 30, 20192020 and 59%58% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.2019.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on the following three levels of inputs:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost) or market, withnet of reserves. Cost is determined at standard cost, determined on the first-in-first-out method. Accordingly, allocationapproximating average cost. Allocation of fixed production overheads to conversion costs is based on normal capacity of production. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage are expensed as incurred and not included in overhead. NoVariances between standard cost and actual cost, arising in the production process, are analyzed to determine whether they reflect part of the normal cost of production, and should therefore be reflected as inventory value, or whether they are a period cost and should thus not be included in inventory.  Inventory reserves are recorded based upon historic usage, expected future demand and shelf life of the products held in inventory. NaN stock-based compensation cost was included in inventory as of June 30, 20192020 and March 31, 2019.2020.

Property and Equipment

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Plant, machinery and equipment—4 to 20 years;

Plant, machinery and equipment—4 to 20 years;

Leasehold improvements—the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Leasehold improvements—the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Repairs and maintenance expenditures, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of property and equipment, are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets related to product licenses are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets related to technology and other intangible assets acquired in acquisitions are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, on a straight-line basis as follows:

Customer relationships—5 years

Brands associated with acquired cell lines—40 years

Product licenses—10 years

Other intangibles assets—7 years

The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment and conducts an impairment review when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired by estimating the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from an asset to assess whether or not a potential impairment exists. NoNaN impairment losses have been recorded in either of the quarters ended June 30, 20192020 or June 30, 2018.2019.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control of a product to a customer, which is generally at the time of delivery at an amount based on the transaction price. Customers have no right of return except in the case of damaged goods and the Company has not experienced any significant returns of its products. Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of product sales. In those cases where the Company bills shipping and handling costs to customers, the amounts billed are classified as revenue.

Revenue is also earned from the provision of development services to a small number of original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers. These development service contracts are reviewed individually to determine the nature of the performance obligations and the associated transaction prices.  In recent years, product development revenues have been commensurate with achieving milestones specified in the respective development agreements relating to those products. These milestones may include the approval of new products by the European or U.S. regulatory authorities, which are not within the Company’s control. While there can be no assurance that this will continue to be the case, the milestones have been such that they effectively represent completion of the Company’s performance obligations under a particular part of a development program. Should the Company fail to achieve these milestones the Company would not be entitled under the terms of the development agreements to any compensation for the work undertaken to date. As a result, the milestone-related revenues have been recognized as the contractual milestones are achieved.

Pursuant to an Umbrella Supply Agreement with Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. (“Ortho”), the Company executed a product attachment relating to the development of a range of rare antisera products. During the year ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Company recognized a milestone of $450milestones totaling $1,050 related to the submission toapproval by the FDA of an application to cover use ofsubmitted during the products on an Ortho automation platform. The Company is entitled to receiveyear ended March 31, 2019, and a further milestone payments totaling $1,050FDA submission and approval related to FDA submissions and approvals of the use of the products on another of Ortho’s automation platforms.  The Company expects these remaining milestones to be achieved in the financial year ending March 31, 2020.There are no further milestone revenues due under this agreement.

In January 2015, the Company entered into a supply and distribution agreement with Ortho related to the commercialization and distribution of certain MosaiQ products. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company iswas entitled to receive milestone payments, totaling in aggregate $59.0 million, upon CE-mark and FDA approval, as well as upon the first commercial sale of the relevant MosaiQ products by Ortho within the European Union, United States and within any country outside of these two regions. The Company hashad concluded that as each of these milestones requirerequired significant levels of development work to be undertaken and there was no certainty at the start of the projects that the development work would be successful, these milestones arewere substantive and the revenue will bewould have been recognized when the milestones arewere achieved. The Company terminated this agreement effective as of December 27, 2019. Ortho initiated arbitration proceedings against the Company for wrongful termination with the Company subsequently pursuing counterclaims. Refer to Note 6 for details.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2019,2020, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods was not material and, at June 30, 2019,2020, revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to remaining performance obligations was also not material.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for company-sponsored and collaborative research and development activities. These costs include direct and research-related overhead expenses. TheOther than materials assessed as having alternative future uses and which are recognized as prepaid expenses, the Company expenses research and development costs, including products manufactured for research and development purposes and the expenses for research under collaborative agreements, as such costs are incurred. Where government grants or tax credits are available for the income concernedsponsorship of such research, the grant receipt is included as a credit against the related expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

In determining fair value of the stock-based compensation payments, the Company uses the Black–Scholes model and a single option award approach for share options and a barrier option pricing model for multi-year performance based restricted share units (“MRSUs”), both of which require the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include: the fair value of the underlying share, estimating the length of time employees will retain their awards before exercising them (expected term), the estimated volatility of the Company’s ordinary sharesshare price over the expected term (expected volatility), risk-free interest rate (interest rate), expected dividends and the number of shares subject to awards that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (forfeitures).

Where modifications are made to vesting conditions, the Company considers the nature of the change and accounts for the change in accordance with ASC 715 Compensation – Stock Compensation.  The Company determined that certain modifications made during the year ended March 31, 2020 were type III in nature and accordingly the original compensation expense related to these awards was reversed and the value of the awards was re-measured at the date of the change and was expensed over the vesting period of the awards concerned. No modifications were made in the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Share Warrants

As of June 30, 2019,2020, the Company had one class of warrants to purchase ordinary shares outstanding, which comprised warrants that were issued in December 2013 and August 2015 in connection with the establishment or increase of the Company’s then existing secured term loan facility. None of these warrants contain or contained any obligation to transfer value and, as such, the issuance of these warrants has been recorded in additional paid in capital as part of shareholders’ (deficit) equity.

Leases- 10 -


 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standard Update, or ASU 2016-02, Leasesor ASU 2016-02, to enhance the transparency and comparability of financial reporting related to leasing arrangements. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on April 1, 2019, or the effective date, and used the effective date as its date of initial application.

 

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. A lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time, in exchange for consideration. The Company determines if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time. The Company assesses throughout the period of use whether the Company has both of the following: (1) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits for use of the identified asset, and (2) the right to direct the use of the identified asset. This determination is reassessed if the terms of the contract are changed. The Company also reviews the terms of the lease in accordance with Accounting Standard Update, or ASU, 2016-02 in order to determine whether the lease concerned is a finance or an operating lease. Most leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and, if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less.

 

- 10 -


For finance leases, an asset is included within property and equipment and a lease liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments is included in current or long-term liabilities.  Interest expense is recorded over the life of the lease at a constant rate.

Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made prior to the commencement date and any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The incremental borrowing rate is determined at lease commencement, or as of April 1, 2019 for operating leases existing upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. The incremental borrowing rate is subsequently reassessed upon modification to the lease arrangement. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

In accordance with the guidance in ASU 2016-02, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g., land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance, maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g., property taxes, insurance, etc.). Although separation of lease and non-lease components is required, certain practical expedients are available. In particular, entities may elect a practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and instead account for each lease component and the related non-lease component together as a single component. The Company has elected to account for the lease and non-lease components of each of its operating leases as a single lease component and allocate all of the contract consideration to the lease component only. The lease component results in an operating lease right-of-use asset being recorded on the balance sheet and amortized on a straight-line basis as lease expense.

The finance lease assets and operating lease right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for long-lived assets.

Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company’s financial position is routinely subjected to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company’s policy is to mitigate the effect of these exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated business exposures. The Company has a policy that allows the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted revenue denominated in foreign currencies. The Company carries derivative financial instruments (derivatives) on the balance sheet at their fair values. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company does not believe that it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in its foreign currency hedges, as counterparties are large, global and well-capitalized financial institutions. To hedge foreign currency risks, the Company uses foreign currency exchange forward contracts, where possible and prudent. These forward contracts are valued using standard valuation formulas with assumptions about future foreign currency exchange rates derived from existing exchange rates, interest rates, and other market factors.

The Company considers its most current forecast in determining the level of foreign currency denominated revenue to hedge as cash flow hedges. The Company combines these forecasts with historical trends to establish the portion of its expected volume to be hedged. The revenue and expenses are hedged and designated as cash flow hedges to protect the Company from exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. If the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the related hedge gains and losses on the cash flow hedge are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss at that time.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements, but have not been reflected in taxable income. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. Therefore, the Company provides a valuation allowance to the extent that is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis and considers various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit and changes in facts or circumstances related to the tax position.

Termination and Transition Charges

Termination charges are recognized as a result of actions to restructure operations. Transition charges are recognized as a result of the retirement of senior employees. Such charges are recognized upon meeting certain criteria, including the finalization of committed plans or agreements and discussions with the impacted employees.  

Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies from legal proceedings and claims may occur from contractual and other related matters. Accruals are recognized when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are not recognized until realized. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

Debt Issuance Costs and Royalty Rights

The Company follows the requirements of Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) — Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset.

- 11 -


On October 14, 2016, June 29, 2018 and May 15, 2019, the Company issued Secured Notes, and, on December 4, 2018, the Company amended the indenture governing the Secured Notes, which amendments became effective on December 18, 2018. In connection with these issuances and this amendment, the Company entered into royalty rights agreements with the subscribers and the consenting note holders, as applicable, which, as of June 30, 2019,2020, provided for an aggregate amount of royalties payable thereunder of 3.4% of net sales of MosaiQ instruments and consumables made in the donor testing market in the United States and the European Union. All of these royalty rights agreements are treated as sales of future revenues that meet the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 470 “Debt” (“ASC 470”) to be treated as debt. The future cash outflows under the royalty rights agreements have been combined with the issuance costs (which includes the one-time consent payment of $3.9 million paid to holders of our Secured Notes in December 2018) and interest payable to calculate the effective interest rate of the Secured Notes and will beis being expensed through interest expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Secured Notes and royalty rights agreements.

Pension Obligation

The Company maintains a pension plan covering employees in Switzerland pursuant to the requirements of Swiss pension law. Certain aspects of the plan require that it be accounted for as a defined benefit plan pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic, 715 Compensation – Retirement Benefits (“ASC 715”). The Company recognizes an asset for the plan’s overfunded status or a liability for the plan’s underfunded status in its consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company measures the plan’s assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the year and recognizes the change in the funded status within ‘‘Accumulated other comprehensive loss’’. The service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost is disclosed in the same line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, and the other components are reported separately from the line item that includes the service cost and within interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

- 12 -


The Company uses an actuarial valuation to determine its pension benefit costs and credits. The amounts calculated depend on a variety of key assumptions, including discount rates and expected return on plan assets. Details of the assumptions used to determine the net funded status are set out in the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.2020. The Company’s pension plan assets are assigned to their respective levels in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with the valuation principles described in the ‘‘Fair Value of Financial Instruments’’ section above.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

 

In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The standard, including subsequently issued amendments, requires a financial asset measured on an amortized cost basis, such as accounts receivable, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on their balance sheet for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months but recognize expenses in their income statements in a manner similar toaffect the previous guidance. ASU 2016-02 also requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understandcollectability of the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company’s process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 has included reviewing all forms of leases and performing a completeness assessment over the lease population. The Company also performed detailed analysis to determine the appropriate incremental borrowing rates used to discount outstanding lease payments.  

reported amount. The Company adopted ASU 2016-022016-13 on April 1, 2019. In adopting this standard the Company applied the package of practical expedients in ASU 2016-02 which allow an entity to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, lease classification of any expired or existing leases and the accounting for any initial direct costs on any expired or existing leases. The Company also elected the additional transitional approach prescribed under ASU 2018-11 to allow the Company to apply the new standard from the date of adoption, rather than adjusting comparative periods, and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.

The results for the quarter to June 30, 2019 reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 guidance while the results for the quarter to June 30, 2018 and the year to March 31, 2019 were prepared under the guidance of the previous leasing standard (Accounting Standard Codification 840).2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 hasthis standard did not hadhave a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive loss or consolidated statements of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the following impact on its consolidated balance sheet:

(i)

no change in the carrying values of assets or liabilities related to the Company’s finance leases,

(ii)

the recording of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities related to the Company’s operating leases, adjusted for existing balances of accrued rent liabilities and deferred lease rental benefit, and

(iii)

adjustments to reclassify the deferred gain on a sales and leaseback transaction to accumulated deficit as of the transition date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adoptedand related disclosures.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans -General (Subtopic 715-20)” or ASU 2018-14. ASU 2018-14 removes the requirements to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and other disclosure requirements. In addition, the ASU adds the requirement to disclose an explanation for any significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and will be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company continues to evaluate the impact thatadopted ASU 2018-14 on April 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance willstandard did not have a material impact on itsthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect it to have a material impact.disclosures.

The Company issued $84 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes on October 14, 2016 and an additional $36 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes on June 29, 2018. On December 18, 2018, the Company also completed certain amendments to the indenture governing the Secured Notes. The amendments included an increase to the aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes that can be issued under the indenture from $120 million to up to $145 million following the European CE Marking of the Company’s initial MosaiQ IH Microarray. On April 30, 2019, the Company was notified that it had received the European CE Marking of the initial MosaiQ IH Microarray and, on May 15, 2019, the Company issued the additional $25 million of Secured Notes.

The obligations of the Company under the indenture and the Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a secured basis by the guarantors, which include all the Company’s subsidiaries, and the indenture governing the Secured Notes contains customary events of default. The Company and its subsidiaries must also comply with certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a requirement to maintain six-months of interest in a cash reserve account maintained with the collateral agent. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, subject to certain conditions, or certain Asset Sales (each, as defined in the indenture), holders of the Secured Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Secured Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% or 100%, respectively, of the principal amount of the Secured Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The Company paid $8.7 million of the total proceeds of the three issuances into the cash reserve account maintained with the collateral agent under the terms of the indenture, $1.5 million of which related to the third issuance on May 15, 2019.

Interest on the Secured Notes accrues at a rate of 12% per annum and is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing on April 15, 2017. Commencing on April 15, 2021, the Company will also be required to pay an installment of principal of the Secured Notes on each April 15 and October 15 until April 15, 2024 pursuant to a fixed amortization schedule.

In connection with the three issuances of the Secured Notes as well as the December 2018 amendment of the related indenture, the Company has entered into royalty rights agreements, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay 3.4% of the aggregate net sales of MosaiQ instruments and consumables made in the donor testing market in the United States and the European Union. The royalties will be payable beginning on the date that the Company or its affiliates makes its first sale of MosaiQ consumables in the donor testing market in the European Union or the United States and will end on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the eighth anniversary of the first sale date occurs. The royalty rights agreements are treated as sales of future revenues that meet the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 470 “Debt” to be treated as debt. The estimated future cash outflows under the royalty rights agreements, estimated at $87.0 million at each of June 30, 2020 andMarch 31, 2020, have been combined with the Secured Notes issuance costs and interest payable to calculate the effective interest rate of the Secured Notes and will be expensed through interest expenses using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Secured Notes and such royalty rights agreements. Estimating the future cash outflows under the royalty rights agreements requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions about future sales of MosaiQ products. These estimates of the magnitude and timing of MosaiQ sales are subject to significant variability due to the current status of development of MosaiQ products, and thus are subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, the estimates are likely to change as the Company gains experience of marketing MosaiQ, which may result in future adjustments to the accretion of the interest expense and amortized cost based carrying value of the Secured Notes.

The fair value of pension plan assets has been determined as the surrender value of the portfolio of active insured employees held within the Swiss LifeAXA LLP Foundation Suisse Romande collective investment fund. See Note 10, “Defined Benefit Pension Plans”.

(2)

The fair value of short-term investments has been determined based on the quoted value of the units held in the money market fund at the balance sheet date.  See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Short-term Investments”.

(3)

The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts has been determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows, estimated using market-based observable inputs including forward and spot exchange rates and interest rate curves obtained from third party market price quotations.

The total unrealized gains on the short-term investments were $317 and $340 in the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.  The amount of these unrealized gains reclassified to earnings were $721 and $193 in the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Ortho Arbitration

The Company’s subsidiaries, Quotient Suisse and QBD (QS-IP) Limited were party to a distribution and supply agreement with Ortho related to the commercialization and distribution of certain MosaiQ products (the “Ortho Agreement”).  See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Revenue Recognition,” for information regarding this agreement.  The Company and an affiliate of Ortho also entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to which the affiliate subscribed for newly issued ordinary shares of the Company and newly issued 7% cumulative redeemable preference shares, of no par value, of the Company for an aggregate subscription price of approximately $25 million.

On November 27, 2019, the Company delivered a notice to Ortho that it had terminated the Ortho Agreement, effective as of December 27, 2019.  The Company did not realize any revenue under the Ortho Agreement prior to its termination.  

- 17 -


On or about November 17, 2019 Ortho initiated an arbitration proceeding in which it seeks a declaration that the Company does not have the right to terminate the Ortho Agreement, specific performance of certain provisions of the Ortho Agreement, and damages including in respect of the difference in amounts Ortho invested in the Company’s shares and their market value.  The Company is pursuing counterclaims against Ortho, including that it has the right to terminate the Ortho Agreement and damages that include the milestone payments due under the Ortho agreement (see Note 2 for details).  In addition, on December 20, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement, or the Ortho Dispute Agreement, with Ortho pursuant to which it agreed, while the arbitration is pending, not to grant commercialization rights in respect of products that overlap with Ortho’s rights under the Ortho Agreement without prior written notice to Ortho.  

An arbitration hearing is scheduled for September 2020 and is to be held in the United States. The Ortho Agreement provides that any arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties and shall not be appealable to any court in any jurisdiction.

The Company believes that Ortho’s allegations are without merit and that a loss is not probable. However, because of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in arbitration proceedings and the nature of the claims, it cannot predict with certainty whether it will prevail in its defenses and counterclaims or the impact of this arbitration on its business, results of operations or financial condition. As a result, the Company does not believe that it is possible to provide a meaningful estimate of reasonably possible loss at this time. Accordingly, under ASC 450 “Contingencies”, 0 provision for an unfavorable outcome resulting from the arbitration hearing has been recorded.

Determining the fair value of share options

The fair value of each grant of share options was determined by the Company using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The total fair value of option awards in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 amounted to $294. No option awards were made in the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Assumptions used in the option pricing models are discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

Expected volatility. The expected volatility was based on the historical share price volatility of the Company’s shares over a period equal to the expected terms of the options.

Fair value of ordinary shares. Since the Company’s initial public offering in April 2014, the fair value of ordinary shares has been based on the share price of the Company’s shares on the Nasdaq Global Market immediately prior to the grant of the options concerned.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the UK Government 10-year bond yield curve in effect at the time of grant prior to the initial public offering and 10-year U.S. Treasury Stock for awards from April 2014 onwards.

Expected term. The expected term is determined after giving consideration to the contractual terms of the share-based awards, graded vesting schedules ranging from one to three years and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of its share-based awards.

Expected dividend. According to the terms of the awards, the exercise price of the options is adjusted to take into account any dividends paid. As a result, dividends are not required as an input to the model, as these reductions in the share price are offset by a corresponding reduction in exercise price.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company has an unrecognized benefit of $1,216, that if recognized would be recorded as a component of tax expense. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits include exposures related to positions taken on all jurisdictions income tax returns. The Company has interest expense carryforward from March 31, 2017 that potentially would be disqualified as interest expense in the amount of $613. Additionally, the Company has reassessed its transfer pricing policies in certain jurisdictions from 2015 to 2017, the impact of which is $603. In the normal course of business, the Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future tax and interest assessments by these taxing authorities and the Company has accrued a liability when it believes it is more likely than not that the tax position claimed on tax returns will not be sustained by the taxing authorities on the technical merits of the position. Changes in the recognition of the liability are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

 

In connection with the sale and leaseback transaction of the BiocampusCompany’s conventional reagents manufacturing facility, near Edinburgh, Scotland (the “Alan Robb Campus (“ARC”) facility”) that was completed in March 2018, the Company has agreed to transfer tax allowances related to certain other property, plant and equipment to the purchaser. However, at June 30, 2019,purchaser of the facility. An election to effect the transfer of these allowances had notto the purchaser has been completed and thusmade, but due to uncertainty regarding whether the election will be effective, the tax effect of the transfer of the allowances has not been reflectedrecorded in the financial statements.statements as at June 30, 2020. If the transfer of the allowances was regarded as being effective at June 30, 2020, the financial statements would reflect an additional deferred tax expense of $1,216 and an equivalent deferred tax liability. The Company will continue to monitor the position regarding the effectiveness of the election to transfer the allowances in order to determine whether the deferred tax liability should be recorded.

Note 11. Net Loss Per Share

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share”, basic earnings available to ordinary shareholders per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings available to ordinary shareholders per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each period, plus potential ordinary shares considered outstanding during the period, as long as the inclusion of such shares is not anti-dilutive. Potential ordinary shares consist of the incremental ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of share options (using the treasury shares method), the warrants to acquire ordinary shares and the ordinary shares issuable upon vesting of the MRSUs and RSUs.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earningsloss per ordinary share:

12. Lease Commitments

 

The Company has operating lease commitments for real estate and certain equipment in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and Switzerland. There are no0 sublease agreements in place. The Company has finance lease commitments for equipment in the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

 

The Company leases an 87,200 square foot conventional reagents manufacturing facility, with integrated offices and laboratories, in Edinburgh, Scotland. This lease commenced in March 2018, following completion of a sale and leaseback transaction, and expires in September 2052. Rent is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, the lease required the Company to provide a rent deposit of £3.6 million which amounted to $4.6$4.4 million at June 30, 20192020 and $4.7$4.5 million at March 31, 20192020 and is included within other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. In March 2015 the Company signed a five-year lease agreement for its corporate headquarters and MosaiQ manufacturing facility in Eysins, Switzerland. This lease is currently in the process of beingwas extended for a further five-year term and the Company believes it should be able period to obtain such an extension on satisfactory terms.March 14, 2025. The Company also leases office space for commercial and development activities under one to three-year lease agreements in Newtown PA, Chapel Hill NC and Dublin, Republic of Ireland.

- 20 -


 

The operating lease commitments relating to equipment are not material. The finance lease commitments relate to specialized equipment required for manufacturing operations in both Edinburgh, Scotland and Eysins, Switzerland.  

 

- 22 -


Many of the Company’s leases contain options to renew and extend lease terms and options to terminate leases early. Reflected in the right-of-use asset and lease liability on the Company’s balance sheet are the periods provided by renewal and extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, as well as the periods provided by termination options that the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise. The Company does not have any existing lease agreements with variable lease components.

 

In calculating the present value of future lease payments, the Company has elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease term at the date of adoption. Incremental borrowing rates are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company has elected to account for each lease component and its associated non-lease component as a single lease component and has allocated all the contract consideration across the lease component only. There are no material non-lease components. As of June 30, 2019,2020, an operating lease right-of-use asset of $17,615$21,124 and an operating lease liability of $18,899$22,740 (including a current portion of $2,723)$3,045) were reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2020, an operating lease right-of-use asset of $21,493 and an operating lease liability of $22,947 (including a current portion of $3,033) were reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2019,2020, the Company had entered into finance leases for the purchase of plant and equipment that had net book values of $1,953.$1,973. An associated finance lease liability of $1,210$1,590 (including a current portion of $457)$573) was reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had entered into finance leases for the purchase of plant and equipment that had net book values of $2,216. An associated finance lease liability of $1,715 (including a current portion of $598) was reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 20192020 filed with the SEC on May 29, 2019.June 12, 2020.

The information set forth and discussed below for the quarters ended June 30, 20192020 and June 30, 20182019 is derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 above. The financial information set forth and discussed below is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that our management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Our results of operations for a particular quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for other quarters or the entire year.

In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, beliefs and expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019,2020, particularly in “Risk Factors.”

Overview

We were incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands on January 18, 2012. On February 16, 2012, we acquired the entire issued share capital of Alba Bioscience Limited (or Alba), Quotient Biodiagnostics, Inc. (or QBDI) and QBD (QSIP) Limited (or QSIP) from Quotient Biodiagnostics Group Limited (or QBDG), our predecessor.

Our Business

We are a commercial-stage diagnostics company committed to reducing healthcare costs and improving patient care through the provision of innovative tests within established markets. Our initial focus is on blood grouping and donor disease screening, which is commonly referred to as transfusion diagnostics. Blood grouping involves specific procedures performed at donor or patient testing laboratories to characterize blood, which includes antigen typing and antibody detection. Disease screening involves the screening of donor blood for unwanted pathogens using two different methods, a serological approach (testing for specific antigens or antibodies) and a molecular approach (testing for DNA or RNA).

We have over 3035 years of experience developing, manufacturing and commercializing conventional reagent products used for blood grouping within the global transfusion diagnostics market. We are developing MosaiQ, our proprietary technology platform, to better address the comprehensive needs of this large and established market. We believe MosaiQ has the potential to transform transfusion diagnostics, significantly reducing the cost of blood grouping in the donor and patient testing environments, while improving patient outcomes.

In addition, in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, in May 2020, we completed development of a microarray-based SARS-CoV-2 antibody test for use on the MosaiQ platform. The SARS-CoV-2 antibody test is designed as a serological disease screen specific to COVID-19 antibody detection. The assay detects the Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies directed at SARS-CoV-2. We refer to the SARS-CoV-2 antibody test as the MosaiQ COVID-19 Microarray.

We currently operate as one business segment with 417420 employees in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the United States, as of June 30, 2019.2020. Our principal markets are the United States, Europe and Japan. Based on the location of the customer, revenues outside the United States accounted for 47%44% of total revenue during the quarter ended June 30, 20192020 and 52%47% during the quarter ended June 30, 2018.2019.

We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations in each year since we commenced operations in 2007. As of June 30, 2019,2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $404.2$508.9 million. We expect our operating losses to continue for at least the remainder of the current year as we continue our investment in the commercialization of MosaiQ. For the quarter ended June 30, 2019,2020, our total revenue was $8.2$8.9 million and our net loss was $23.6$25.4 million.

- 25 -


From our incorporation in 2012 to March 31, 2019,2020, we have raised $160.0 million of gross proceeds through the private placement of our ordinary and preference shares and warrants, $250.1$346.7 million of gross proceeds from public offerings of our shares and issuances of ordinary shares upon exercise of warrants and $120.0$145.0 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of 12% Senior Secured Notes, or the “Secured Notes”.

On May 15, 2019, we issued an additional $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes. As referenced above, we previously issued $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes. On May 15, 2019, we paid $1.5 million of the net proceeds of the issuance into the cash reserve account maintained with the collateral agent under the terms of the indenture governing the Secured Notes, which together with the $7.2 million paid into the cash reserve account in respect of previous issuances, brought the total in the cash reserve account to $8.7 million at June 30, 2019.

- 23 -


On May 31, 2019, we entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement, or the “Sale Agreement” with Jefferies LLC, as sales agent and/or principal, or “Jefferies”, pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $80 million of our ordinary shares. Sales of the shares, if any, pursuant to the Sale Agreement, may be made by any method that is deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through The Nasdaq Global Market, or any other existing trading market for our ordinary shares, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, in negotiated transactions with our consent at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or any other method permitted by law. Under the terms of the Sale Agreement, we will pay Jefferies a commission equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of the shares sold through it under the Sale Agreement.

We have no obligation to sell any of the shares under the Sale Agreement, and may at any time suspend offers under the Sale Agreement upon proper notice to Jefferies or terminate the Sale Agreement upon one trading day’s written notice. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering to fund the ongoing scale up and commercialization of MosaiQ and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2019, no shares had been issued or sold under the Sale Agreement.

As of June 30, 2019,2020, we had available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $90.7$94.5 million and $9.0 million of restricted cash held as part of the arrangements relating to our Secured Notes and the lease of our property in Eysins, Switzerland.

Regulatory and Commercial Milestones

You should read the following regulatory and commercial milestones update in conjunction with the discussion included under the sections “Item 1. Business” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 20192020 filed with the SEC on May 29, 2019.June 12, 2020.

 

Initial European Regulatory Approval– we filed for European regulatory approval for our initial MosaiQ IH Microarray in late September 2018 and were notified of its approval on April 30, 2019. We also filed for European regulatory approval of the initial MosaiQ SDS Microarray in June 2019 and were notified of its approval on February 14, 2020.

European and U.S. Hypercare Launch– following the CE mark for our initial MosaiQ IH Microarray, we have commenced and completed hypercare testing with four selected customers.

Ongoing Microarray Menu Development– our activities for the expansion of our IH and SDS, testing menus included the completion of the validation and verification, or “V&V”, concordance study for the expanded MosaiQ IH Microarray menu, which we announced in October 2019. The V&V study for the expanded MosaiQ SDS Microarray is planned for the third quarter of calendar year 2020.

Field Trials– we commenced field trials for the expanded MosaiQ IH Microarray in Europe in the first quarter of calendar year 2020. These trials were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, but by the end of May 2020 quarantine and containment measures and restrictions had eased in all three trial locations allowing the work to recommence. Further, these trials have recommenced from the point at which they were suspended with no requirement to repeat any of the work already performed. The commencement of field trials in the United States for the expanded MosaiQ IH Microarray has also been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These trials will commence as soon as the circumstances permit, which we expect will be in the second half of calendar year 2020. We expect field trials for the expanded MosaiQ SDS Microarray to commence in the second half of calendar year 2020 in Europe, and in the first half of calendar year 2021 in the United States.

Ongoing Regulatory Approval Process– we filed for U.S. regulatory approval for our initial MosaiQ SDS Microarray on December 23, 2019, and we anticipate receiving 510(k) clearance for the initial MosaiQ SDS Microarray before the end of calendar year 2020. Initial European regulatory submissions for our expanded MosaiQ IH Microarray are expected during the fourth quarter of calendar year 2020 with U.S. regulatory submissions following in the first half of calendar year 2021. We expect to receive the CE mark for the expanded MosaiQ IH Microarray by the first quarter of calendar year 2021. European regulatory submission for the expanded MosaiQ SDS Microarray is expected in the second half of calendar year 2021.

Initial European Regulatory Approval– we filed for European regulatory approval for our initial MosaiQ Immunohematology, or “IH”, microarray

COVID-19 Pandemic

You should read the following COVID-19 pandemic update in late September 2018 and were notified of its approval on April 30, 2019.

European Commercialization– following the CE mark for our initial IH microarray we commenced a hypercare launchconjunction with the firstdiscussion included under the sections “Item 1. Business” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of nine selected customers during July 2019.

IH Microarray Ongoing Development– we continue to planour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the expansionyear ended March 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on June 12, 2020.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The governments of each of the major locations in which we operate, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the United States, have implemented varying measures and restrictions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

These restrictions directly impacted our IH and Serological Disease Screening, or “SDS”, testing menus during the second half of calendar 2019.

Field Trials– we expect to commence European and U.S. field trials with our expanded IH microarray menu in the second half of calendar 2019.  We have commenced U.S. field trial activity for our initial SDS microarray and expect to commence European and U.S. fieldon-going clinical trials for our expanded SDS microarray earlyMosaiQ IH Microarray in calendar 2020.

Ongoing Regulatory Approval Process– we completed a CE mark submission Europe and the commencement of clinical trials for our initial SDS microarrayexpanded MosaiQ IH Microarray in the United States. All external work on these trials was suspended in March 2020 until such time as the existing restrictions in the relevant jurisdictions are removed or moderated. By June 2019.  2020, quarantine and containment measures and restrictions had eased in all of the three European trial locations allowing the work to recommence. These trials have recommenced from the point at which they were suspended with no requirement to repeat any of the work already performed.

- 26 -


In addition, on April 6, 2020, we announced the completion of the development phase of the MosaiQ COVID-19 Microarray, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 27, 2020, we published the final performance data for the MosaiQ COVID-19 Microarray, achieving 100% sensitivity and 99.8% specificity, and on May 1, 2020 we announced the CE Mark for this Microarray. In addition, in May 2020, we submitted an application to the FDA for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the MosaiQ COVID-19 Microarray in the United States. Having completed the required notification and submitted the EUA within the required timeframe, our test is officially listed on the FDA webpages as a test that is now allowed to be distributed in the United States. We signed the first commercial contract for the sale of the MosaiQ COVID-19 Microarray in May 2020, and we have subsequently entered into nine additional contracts with customers in Europe and the United States. We expect to file for U.S.receive the EUA in the near term.

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic and European regulatory approval forthe associated restrictions have not had a material adverse impact on our expanded IH microarray early in calendar yearconventional reagent revenues. Customer demand has remained robust since March 31, 2020 and, forto date, supply chain disruptions have been minimal. Our manufacturing operations in Edinburgh, Scotland have been adapted to meet social distancing requirements, which impacted our expanded SDS microarray later inoperating costs during the first half of 2020quarter ended June 30, 2020.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business, operations and financial results will depend on future developments and numerous evolving factors, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

Revenue

We generate product sales revenue from the sale of conventional reagent products directly to hospitals, donor collection agencies and independent testing laboratories in the United States, the United Kingdom and to distributors in Europe and the rest of the world, and indirectly through sales to our original equipment manufacturer (or OEM) customers. We recognize revenues in the form of product sales when the goods are shipped. Products sold by standing purchase orders as a percentage of product sales revenue were 68%69% and 65%68% for the quarters ended June 30, 20192020 and June 30, 2018,2019, respectively. We also provide product development services to our OEM customers. We recognize revenue from these contractual relationships in the form of product development fees, which are included in other revenues. In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we began to generate sales revenue from the MosaiQ COVID-19 Microarray in Europe. For a description of our revenue recognition policies, see “—Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates—Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable.”

Our revenue is denominated in multiple currencies. Sales in the United States and to certain of our OEM customers are denominated in U.S. Dollars. Sales in Europe and the rest of the world are denominated primarily in U.S. Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located, which are primarily in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the United States. We operate globally and therefore changes in foreign currency exchange rates may become material to us in the future due to factors beyond our control. See “—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk—Foreign Currency Exchange Risk.”

Cost of revenue and operating expenses

Cost of revenue consists of direct labor expenses, including employee benefits, overhead expenses, material costs and freight costs, along with the depreciation of manufacturing equipment and leasehold improvements. Our gross profit represents total revenue less

- 24 -


the cost of revenue, gross margin represents gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue, and gross margin on product sales represents gross margin excluding other revenues as a percentage of revenues excluding other revenues. We expect our overall cost of revenue to increase in absolute U.S. Dollars as we continue to increase our product sales volumes. However, we also believe that we can achieve efficiencies in our manufacturing operations, primarily through increasing production volumes.

- 27 -


Our sales and marketing expenses include costs associated with our sales organization for conventional reagent products, including our direct sales force, as well as our marketing and customer service personnel and the costs of the MosaiQ commercial team. These expenses consist principally of salaries, commissions, bonuses and employee benefits, as well as travel and other costs related to our sales and product marketing activities. We expense all sales and marketing costs as incurred. We expect sales and marketing expense to increase in absolute U.S. Dollars, primarily as a result of commissions on increased product sales in the United States and as we grow the MosaiQ commercial team.

Our research and development expenses include costs associated with performing research, development, field trials and our regulatory activities, as well as production costs incurred in advance of the commercial launch of MosaiQ. Research and development expenses include research personnel-related expenses, fees for contractual and consulting services, travel costs, laboratory supplies and depreciation of laboratory equipment.

We expense all research and development costs as incurred, net of government grants received and tax credits. Our UK subsidiary claims certain tax credits on its research and development expenditures and these are included as an offset to our research and development expenses. Our research and development efforts are focused on developing new products and technologies for the global transfusion diagnostics market. We segregate research and development expenses for the MosaiQ project from expenses for other research and development projects. We do not maintain detailed records of these other costs by activity. We are nearing completion of the initial development of MosaiQ and expect our costs associated with field trials and regulatory approvals will increase at the same time as our development costs decrease. As we move to commercialization of MosaiQ in the donor testing market, we expect our overall research and development expense to decrease.

Our general and administrative expenses include costs for our executive, accounting and finance, legal, corporate development, information technology and human resources functions. We expense all general and administrative expenses as incurred. These expenses consist principally of salaries, bonuses and employee benefits for the personnel performing these functions, including travel costs. These expenses also include share-based compensation, professional service fees (such as audit, tax and legal fees), costs related to our Board of Directors, and general corporate overhead costs, which include depreciation and amortization. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as our business develops and also due to the costs of operating as a public company, such as additional legal, accounting and corporate governance expenses, including expenses related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, directors’ and officers’ insurance premiums and investor relations expenses.

Net interest expense consists primarily of interest charges on our Secured Notes and the amortization of debt issuance costs (which includes amortization of the one-time consent payment of $3.9 million paid to holders of our Secured Notes in December 2018), as well as accrued dividends on the 7% cumulative redeemable preference shares issued in January 2015. We amortize debt issuance costs over the life of the Secured Notesinstrument and report them as interest expense in our statements of operations. Net interest also includes the expected costs of the royalty rights agreements we entered into in October 2016, June 2018, December 2018 and May 2019 with the purchasers and consenting holders, as applicable, of our Secured Notes. See Note 4 “Debt” and Note 7 “Ordinary and Preference Shares – Preference shares” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of exchange fluctuations. These include realized exchange fluctuations resulting from the settlement of transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies of our businesses. Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are measured at the period-end closing rate with resulting unrealized exchange fluctuations. The functional currencies of our businesseslegal entities are Pounds Sterling, Swiss Francs and U.S. Dollars depending on the entity.

Provision for income taxes in the quarter ended June 30, 2019 reflects2020 reflected the taxes payable on the taxable income of a reduction in the net operating losses available to be carried forward in a subsidiary as a result of the offset of historic tax losses against the profits of this subsidiary.

Quarterly Results of Operations

Our quarterly product sales can fluctuate depending upon the shipment cycles for our red blood cell based products, which account for approximately two-thirds of our current product sales. For these products, we typically experience 13 shipping cycles per year. This equates to three shipments of each product per quarter, except for one quarter per year when four shipments occur. In fiscal 2019,2020, the greatest impact of extra product shipments occurred in our first quarter and the greatest impact thus far in fiscal 20202021 has also occurred in the first quarter. The timing of shipment of bulk antisera products to our OEM customers may also impact revenues from quarter to quarter. We also experience some seasonality in demand around holiday periods in both Europe and the United States. As a result of these factors, we expect to continue to see seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variations in our product sales. The timing of product development fees included in other revenues is mostly dependent upon the achievement of pre-negotiated project or revenue milestones.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our commencement of operations in 2007, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2019,2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $404.2$508.9 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019,2020, we incurred a net loss of $23.6$25.4 million and used $25.1$24.8 million of cash in operating activities. As described under results of operations, our use of cash during the quarter ended June 30, 20192020 was primarily attributable to our investment in the development of MosaiQ and corporate costs, including costs related to being a public company.

From our incorporation in 2012 to March 31, 2019,2020, we have raised $160.0 million of gross proceeds through the private placement of our ordinary and preference shares and warrants, $250.1$346.7 million of gross proceeds from public offerings of our shares and issuances of ordinary shares upon exercise of warrants and $120.0$145.0 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of the Secured Notes.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements

We have not achieved profitability on an annual basis since we commenced operations in 2007 and we expect to incur net losses for at least the next fiscal year. As we move towards the commercial launch of MosaiQ in the donor testing market, we expect our operating expenses during the year ended March 31, 20202021 to be similar to those of the year ended March 31, 2019,2020, as we continue to invest in growing our customer base, expanding our marketing and distribution channels, completing field trials and regulatory filings, hiring additional employees and investing in other product development opportunities while our development expenditures on MosaiQ decrease.

As of June 30, 2019,2020, we had $94.5 million of available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $90.7 million and $9.0 million of restricted cash held as part of the arrangements relating to our Secured Notes and the lease of our property in Eysins, Switzerland.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

our ability to penetrate our existing market and new markets.

Our existing available cash and short-term investment balances are adequate to meet our forecasted cash requirements for the next twelve months and accordingly we have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.

In the longer term, we We expect to fund our operations, including the ongoing development of MosaiQ through successful field trial completion, achievement of required regulatory authorizations and commercialization from the use of existing available cash and short-term investment balances, cash generated through ongoing sales of our MosaiQ COVID-19 Microarray, and the issuance of new equity or debt.debt, and accordingly have prepared our financial statements on the going concern basis. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sales as expected or obtain adequate financing when necessary and the terms of any financings may not be advantageous to us and may result in dilution to our shareholders.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations and commitments were summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019.2020.

On May 15, 2019, we issued an additional $25 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes and entered into additional royalty rights agreements with the purchasers of the Secured Notes. As a result of these transactions, the aggregate amounts payable under the Secured Notes is $145.0 million, with zero due in less than a year, $42.3 million due in 1-3 years and $102.7 million due in 3-5 years. Interest payments due on the Secured Notes total $65.7 million with $17.2 million due in less than a year, $32.6 million due in 1-3 years and $15.9 million due in 3-5 years. The aggregate estimated amount payable in connection with the royalty rights agreements is $84.4 million, with zero due in less than a year, $2.6 million due in 1-3 years, $16.7 million due in 3-5 years and $65.1 million due in more than 5 years.

We note that the capital leases referred to in the summary of our contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are now accounted for as finance leases under current GAAP; however, the nature of these obligations has not changed. There were no other major changes in the nature of our contractual obligations and commitments between March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

- 33 -


Revenue recognition and accounts receivable

Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control of a product to a customer, which is generally at the time of delivery at an amount based on the transaction price. Customers have no right of return except in the case of damaged goods and we have not experienced any significant returns of our products.

We also earn revenue from the provision of development services to a small number of OEM customers. These development service contracts are reviewed individually to determine the nature of the performance obligations and the associated transaction prices.  In recent years, our product development revenues have been commensurate with achieving milestones specified in the respective development agreements relating to those products. These milestones may include the approval of new products by the European or U.S. regulatory authorities, which are not within our control. While there can be no assurance that this will continue to be the case, the nature of the milestones has been such that they effectively represent completion of our performance obligations under a particular part of a development program. Should we fail to achieve these milestones, we are not entitled under the terms of the development agreements to any compensation related to the work undertaken to date. As a result, we typically fully recognize milestone-related revenues as the contractual milestones are achieved.

Under certain development contracts, we also manufacture and supply the customer with finished products once they have been approved for use by relevant regulatory agencies. These agreements reflect both arrangements for product development and the sales prices and other contractual terms for subsequent supply of the product to the customer. Under these development contracts, we view the development service revenue as distinct from subsequent product sales revenue, and we recognize each separately as described above.

Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from OEM customers, hospitals, donor testing laboratories, and distributors. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts, which we also refer to as doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents a reserve for estimated losses resulting from our inability to collect amounts due from our customers. Direct sales, where we may make many low value sales to a large number of customers, represents a larger risk of doubtful accounts, as opposed to OEM customer sales consisting primarily of a small number of well established businesses with whom we have a long trading history. The collectability of our trade receivables balances is regularly evaluated based on a combination of factors such as the ageingaging profile of our receivables, past history with our customers, changes in customer payment patterns, customer credit-worthiness and any other relevant factors. Based on these assessments, we adjust the reserve for doubtful accounts recorded in our financial statements.

Inventories

We record inventories at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis)(at standard costs, approximating average costs) or market (net realizable value), net of reserves. We record adjustments to inventory based upon historic usage, expected future demand and shelf life of the products held in inventory. We also calculate our inventory value based on the standard cost of each product. This approach requires us to analyze variances arising in the production process to determine whether they reflect part of the normal cost of production, and should therefore be reflected as inventory value, or whether they are a period cost and should thus not be included in inventory.

- 31 -


Intangible assets

The intangible assets included in our financial statements include intangible assets identified as at the time of the acquisition of the business of Alba Bioscience on August 31, 2007. At the time of this acquisition, we identified intangible assets related to customer relationships, master cell lines and certain other items, which include domain names and product trademarks. The customer relationships have been amortized over a five-year period, which resulted in them becoming fully amortized at August 31, 2012. The other items were amortized over a seven-year period from August 31, 2007, which resulted in them becoming fully amortized at August 31, 2014.

The intangible assets related to master cell lines reflect the know-how and market recognition associated with the cell lines, which are used as the source material of certain of our products. These cell lines are maintained by us and have an indefinite life. We have nevertheless decided to amortize the intangible assets over a forty-year period to reflect the possibility of market changes or other events resulting in the lines becoming technically obsolete at some future date. In the event that any of the lines cease to be used, we would record additional amortization at that point.

We also include in intangible assets the costs of obtaining product licenses for our products. These include external costs such as regulatory agency fees associated with the approval and bringing to market of our products once the development is complete. We amortize these over an expected product life of ten years, although if any such product ceased to be produced, we would record additional amortization at that point.

Income taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires, among other things, that deferred income taxes be provided for temporary differences between the tax basis of our assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts. In addition, deferred tax assets are recorded for the future benefit of utilizing NOLs and research and development credit carry forwards. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

We follow the accounting guidance for uncertainties in income taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return in the financial statements. Additionally, the guidance also prescribes the derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. We accrue for the estimated amount of taxes for uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that we would be required to pay such additional taxes. An uncertain tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.

We did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax positions, and there were no such interest or penalties recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 20192020 or in the year ended March 31, 2019.2020.

Stock compensation expense

Stock compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense in the income statement over the vesting period of the award. The calculation of the stock compensation expense is sensitive to the fair value of the underlying ordinary shares. The fair value of option awards and multi-year performance based restricted share units or MRSUs at the grant date is calculated using the Black-Scholes model or other valuation models, which use a number of assumptions to determine the fair value. Details of the assumptions used are set out in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

- 34 -


Defined Benefit Pension Obligations

We account for the pension obligations of our Swiss subsidiary as a defined benefit plan under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715 Compensation – Retirement Benefits,or ASC 715.  This requires that an actuarial valuation be performed to determine the funded status of the pension arrangements.  The actuarial valuation is based on a number of assumptions, details of which are set out in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.2020.

- 32 -


Royalty Liability

The royalty rights agreements entered into in connection with the issuances of our Secured Notes and the amendment of the related indenture are treated as sales of future revenues that meet the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 470 “Debt” to be treated as debt. The estimated future cash outflows under the royalty rights agreements have been combined with the Secured Notes issuance costs and interest payable to calculate the effective interest rate of the Secured Notes and will be expensed through interest expenses using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Secured Notes and royalty rights agreements. Estimating the future cash outflows under the royalty rights agreements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions about future sales of MosaiQ products. These estimates of the magnitude and timing of MosaiQ sales are subject to significant variability due to the current status of development of MosaiQ products, and thus are subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, the estimates are likely to change as we gain experience of marketing MosaiQ, which may result in future adjustments to the accretion of the interest expense and the amortized cost based carrying value of the Secured Notes.

Leases

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standard Update or ASU 2016-02, Leases, or ASU 2016-02, to enhance the transparency and comparability of financial reporting related to leasing arrangements. We adopted ASU 2016-02 on April 1, 2019, or the effective date, and used the effective date as our date of initial application.

At the inception of an arrangement, we determine whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. A lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time, in exchange for consideration. We determine if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time. We assess throughout the period of use whether we have both of the following: (1) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits for use of the identified asset, and (2) the right to direct the use of the identified asset. This determination is reassessed if the terms of the contract are changed. We also review the terms of the lease in accordance with ASUAccounting Standards Update, or “ASU”, 2016-02, Leases” in order to determine whether the lease concerned is a finance or an operating lease. Most leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and, if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. We have elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less.

 

For finance leases, an asset is included within property and equipment and a lease liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments is included in current or long-term liabilities. Interest expense is recorded over the life of the lease at a constant rate.

Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made prior to the commencement date and any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, we utilize our incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The incremental borrowing rate is determined at lease commencement, or as of April 1, 2019 for operating leases existing upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02. The incremental borrowing rate is subsequently reassessed upon modification to the lease arrangement. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

In accordance with the guidance in ASU 2016-02, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g., land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance, maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g., property taxes, insurance, etc.). Although separation of lease and non-lease components is required, certain practical expedients are available. In particular, entities may elect a practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and instead account for each lease component and the related non-lease component together as a single component. We have elected to account for the lease and non-lease components of each of its operating leases as a single lease component and allocate all of the contract consideration to the lease component only. The lease component results in an operating lease right-of-use asset being recorded on the balance sheet and amortized on a straight-line basis as lease expense.

The finance lease assets and operating lease right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company’sour accounting policy for long-lived assets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for any other contractually narrow or limited purpose.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

JOBS Act

Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, emerging growth companies that become public can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These market risks are principally limited to interest rate fluctuations and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Interest rate sensitivity

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates as it impacts our interest income and expense.

Cash, cash equivalents and cash reserve account. At June 30, 2019,2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.5$7.3 million and we also held $9.0 million of restricted cash. Our exposure to market risk includes interest income sensitivity, which is impacted by changes in the general level of U.S. and European interest rates. Our cash and cash equivalents and the restricted cash are held in interest-bearing savings accounts and bank accounts. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the current levels of interest rates, we do not believe an immediate one percentage point change in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our holdings, and therefore we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be significantly affected by changes in market interest rates.

Senior securedSecured notes. At June 30, 2019,2020, we had term debt of $145 million outstanding under the Secured Notes. The Secured Notes are fixed-rate instruments and, as a result, a change in market interest rates has no impact on our interest expense incurred or cash flows.

Foreign currency exchange risk

The main currencies that we use for our trading operations are the U.S. Dollar, the Pound Sterling, the Swiss Franc and, to a lesser extent, the Euro. Our meaningful cash balances are held in a mixture of U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling and Swiss Francs. These cash balances may not be the same as the functional currencies of the Quotient entities in which they are held and, as a result, exchange rate fluctuations may result in foreign exchange gains and losses on our income statement.

We are subject to market risks arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Pound Sterling and the U.S. Dollar and the Swiss Franc. Accordingly, fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar versus Pounds Sterling and U.S. Dollar versus the Swiss Franc exchange rate give rise to exchange gains and losses. These gains and losses arise from the conversion of U.S. Dollars and Euros to Pounds Sterling and the retranslation of cash, accounts receivable, intercompany indebtedness and other asset and liability balances. Based on our assets and liabilities held in Pounds Sterling at June 30, 2019,2020, we estimate that a 5% strengthening of the Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar would give rise to a gain of approximately $0.9$0.5 million and a 5% weakening of the Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar would give rise to loss of approximately $0.9$0.5 million. Based on our assets and liabilities held in Swiss Francs at June 30, 2019,2020, we estimate that a 5% strengthening of the Swiss Franc against the U.S. Dollar would give rise to a gain of approximately $1.3 million and a 5% weakening of the Swiss Franc against the U.S. Dollar would give rise to loss of approximately $1.3 million.

Most of our revenues are earned in U.S. Dollars, but the costs of our conventional reagent manufacturing operations are payable mainly in Pounds Sterling. We therefore closely monitor the results of our UK operations to address this difference. During the year ended March 31, 2019,2020, the net operating expenses arising in Pounds Sterling from our UK conventional reagent manufacturing operations amounted to $27.0$25.8 million. This expenditure was offset by revenues arising in U.S. Dollars and other currencies. We have entered into forward contracts to hedge against the effects of fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar versus the Pounds Sterling exchange rate. The principal value of the hedges related to the results of fiscal year 20202021 is $6.0 million and, based on this, a hypothetical instantaneous 5% strengthening of the Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar would reduce our net income by $1.1$1.0 million in the year ending March 31, 20202021 after taking account of the shelter provided by our existing hedging arrangements through March 31, 2020.2021. Similarly, a hypothetical instantaneous 5% weakening of the Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar would increase group net income by $1.1$1.0 million over the same period.

- 36 -


We do not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

- 34 -


Our management does not believe that inflation in past years has had a significant impact on our results from operations. In the event inflation affects our costs in the future, we will offset the effect of inflation and maintain appropriate margins through increased selling prices.

 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2019,2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no material changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We did implement internal controls to ensure we properly assess the impact of the new accounting standard related to leases on our financial statements to facilitate its adoption on April 1, 2019. However, there were no material changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of the new accounting standard.  

 

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Our subsidiaries, Quotient Suisse and QBD (QS-IP) Limited were party to a distribution and supply agreement with Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc., or “Ortho”, related to the commercialization and distribution of certain MosaiQ products, which we refer to as the Ortho Agreement. We also entered into a subscription agreement with an affiliate of Ortho pursuant to which the affiliate subscribed for our newly issued ordinary shares and newly issued 7% cumulative redeemable preference shares, of no par value, for an aggregate subscription price of approximately $25 million.

On November 27, 2019, we delivered a notice to Ortho that we had terminated the Ortho Agreement, effective as of December 27, 2019.  We had not realized any revenue under the Ortho Agreement prior to its termination.  

On or about November 17, 2019, Ortho initiated an arbitration proceeding in which it seeks a declaration that we do not have the right to terminate the Ortho Agreement, specific performance of certain provisions of the Ortho Agreement, and damages including in respect of the difference in amounts Ortho invested in our shares and their market value.  We are pursuing counterclaims against Ortho, including that we have the right to terminate the Ortho Agreement and damages that include the milestone payments due under the Ortho Agreement.  In addition, on December 20, 2019, we entered into an agreement, or the Ortho Dispute Agreement, with Ortho pursuant to which we agreed, while the arbitration is pending, not currently a partyto grant commercialization rights in respect of products that overlap with Ortho’s rights under the Ortho Agreement without prior written notice to Ortho.  

An arbitration hearing is scheduled for September 2020 and is to be held in the United States. The Ortho Agreement provides that any arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties and shall not be appealable to any pending legalcourt in any jurisdiction.

We believe that Ortho’s allegations are without merit and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against Ortho’s claims. However, because of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in arbitration proceedings thatand the nature of the claims, we believe could have a material adverse effectcannot predict with certainty whether we will prevail in our defenses and counterclaims or the impact of this arbitration on our business, results of operations or financial condition. However,

- 37 -


As discussed in Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, because we cannot predict the outcome of this arbitration, we do not believe it is possible to provide a meaningful estimate of a reasonably possible loss at this time in connection with the preparation of those financial statements. Nevertheless, if Ortho prevailed on its claim that we did not have the right to terminate the Ortho Agreement, the arbitral tribunal might issue a declaration that the Ortho Agreement remains in effect and/or an award compelling Quotient to specifically perform obligations under the Ortho Agreement. Similarly, if Ortho prevailed on its breach of contract claims, we could be obligated to pay damages. The damages are claimed to include, but not be limited to, the difference between the aggregate amount Ortho invested in our ordinary and preference shares of $25 million and the shares’ market value (see Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on our shares).

Our initial MosaiQ IH Microarray and our second, expanded MosaiQ IH Microarray are being developed for the donor testing market, with our initial focus being on Europe and the United States, while our third MosaiQ IH Microarray is being developed for the patient testing market. Under the Ortho Agreement, Ortho had rights to distribute the MosaiQ IH Microarrays in the patient testing market in Europe and the United States.  While our dispute with Ortho has been ongoing, we have not pursued alternatives for commercializing our MosaiQ IH Microarrays in the patient testing market.

We may also be subject to variousother claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.
