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”"Company") and its subsidiaries (the “Group”"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”("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”("GAAP") for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and 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, 20212022 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, 20212022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year then ended. The results of operations for the three month and six month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 20222023 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 $654.3$763.9 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Company had available cash holdings and short-term investments of $141.8$63.2 million. These holdings include $20.8 million of investments, which is net of impairment and foreign currency impacts, held in 2 short-term investment funds with Credit Suisse Asset Management (‘CSAM’) that are currently in the process of being liquidated. The remaining short-term investments to be liquidated are subject to significant valuation uncertainty.

The Company recognized an impairment of $2.3 million related to one of the funds invested with CSAM for the year ended March 31, 2021. No additional information was received during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that would indicate further impairments were required.

While the timing and amount of further payments are not clear (see Note 6), the Company estimates that it will receive the remaining distributionshas expenditure plans over the next year. Shouldtwelve months from the date these financial statements are issued that not be the case, the Company has identified compensating, controllable operating expense and discretionary capital expenditure mitigation measures which would not adversely impact strategic objectives.

The Company’s existing availableexceed its current 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.  

Thereafter, theconcern. The 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 existing available cash and short-term investment balances, the sale of rights and other assets, and the issuance of new equity or debt. The Company’s Directors are confident in the availability of these funding sources and accordingly have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing when necessary and the terms of any financing may not be advantageous to the Company and may result in dilution to its shareholders.

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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

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 those estimates and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash comprised $8.0 and $8.7$8.0 million respectively at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and March 31, 2021,2022, held in a cash reserve account pursuant to the indenture governing the Company’s 12%12% Senior Secured Notes (“("the Secured Notes”Notes") and $302 and $324$0.7 million held at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and March 31, 2021, respectively,2022, held in a restricted account as security for the property rental obligations of the Company’s Swiss subsidiary.

Concentration of Credit Risks and Other Uncertainties

On March 12, 2021, the Company announced that 2 funds managed by CSAM in which the Company had invested an aggregate of approximately $110.35 million had suspended redemptions. The investments into these funds were made in accordance with the Company’s investment policy of making individual investments with a minimum of an A rating from a leading credit-rating agency.  Each fund holds short-term credit obligations of various obligors. According to a press release issued by CSAM, redemptions in the funds were suspended because “certain part of the Subfunds’ assets is currently subject to considerable uncertainties with respect to their accurate valuation.” CSAM subsequently began a liquidation of the funds. Pursuant to the liquidation, the Company has already received cash distributions of approximately $86.8 million. Based on information provided by Credit Suisse, the Company expects to receive further cash distributions from the funds in the next several months; however, there can be no assurance as to the timing or amount of any such distributions. Of this $86.8 million, the Company received $11.2 million of distributions during the three month period ended September 30, 2021, and $29.7 million during the six months September 30, 2021. While Credit Suisse has advised that the credit assets held by the funds are covered by insurance that potentially will be available to cover losses the funds would incur if any of the obligors on the funds’ credit assets were to default, the Company does not know if the funds will incur losses (net of insurance) on the credit assets held by the funds.

On April 22, 2021, Credit Suisse published its FY 2021 Q1 press release with commentary related to the supply chain financing funds. Notably, Credit Suisse indicated that the investors in the funds should assume losses will be incurred.

The Company evaluated the investments in the CSAM managed funds for impairment, in accordance with ASC 321-10-35, Investments – Equity Securities, and determined that its investment in onetwo of the funds waswere impaired. The Company recognized an impairment expense of $2.3 million during the year ended March 31, 2021 related to this fund. No additional information was received duringDuring the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we determined that a further impairment of $1.0 million was required related to litigation costs expected to be incurred by Credit Suisse which Credit Suisse communicated would indicate further impairments were required.be deducted from investor recoveries.

The Company views the liquidation of the supply chain finance funds as a fluid situation with a significant amount of valuation uncertainty. The Company will closely monitor the situation and in the event that new information is released that provides valuation clarity, it will evaluate the accounting implications accordingly. The Company believes, and has advised Credit Suisse, that any losses on the supply chain funds should be borne by Credit Suisse. The Company will pursue all available options to recoup the full amount of its investment in the supply chain funds prior to liquidation.

The Company’s main financial institutions for banking operation held all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and March 31, 2021.2022.

Revenue Recognition

In the three and six month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods was not material. Other than those described in Note 1 to the audited annual Consolidated Financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021,2022, there were no other material revenues to be recognized in future periods related to remaining performance obligations at SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.

The Company’s other significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the audited annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 20212022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.2022.

Secured Notes and the royalty liability. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s long term debt, included $24,167 of principal payments due within 1 year which is classified as current within the balance sheet.

Secured Notes- 8 -


On October 14, 2016, the Company completed the private placement of up to $120$120 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes and entered into an indenture governing the Secured Notes with the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as trustee and collateral agent. The Company issued $84$84 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes on October 14, 2016 and an additional $36$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$120 million to up to $145$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$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%101% or 100%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. Following the April 15, 2021 repayment of the Secured Notes the balance held in the cash reserve account was reduced to $8.0 million.

Interest on the Secured Notes accrues at a rate of 12%12% per annum and is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing on April 15, 2017.2017. On April 15, 2021, the Company made a $12.1$12.1 million principal payment on the Secured Notes. Additionally, principal payments were due on each April 15 and October 15 until April 15, 2024 pursuant to a fixed amortization schedule.

- 10 -


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. Following the April 15, 2021 repayment of the Secured Notes the balance held in the cash reserve account was reduced to $8.0 million.

On October 13, 2021, the Company received consents from all of the holders (the “Consenting Holders”"Consenting Holders") of its Secured Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of October 14, 2016 (as subsequently amended, the “Indenture”"Indenture"), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as trustee and collateral agent, to certain amendments to the indenture governing the Secured Notes (the “Indenture Amendments”"Indenture Amendments") pursuant to the fourth supplemental indenture, dated as of October 13, 2021 (the “Fourth"Fourth Supplemental Indenture”Indenture").

The Indenture Amendments includeincluded an 18-month extension of the final maturity of the Secured Notes to October 2025 and a revision of the Notes’ principal amortization schedule (which previously required semi-annual payments of principal beginning April 2021) to commence April 2023. The revised amortization schedule will defer approximately $60 million of principal payments previously required to be made between April 2021 and April 2023. schedule. The Indenture Amendments also changechanged the redemption prices for Notes redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of the Indenture. The Secured Notes may be redeemed from and after October 14, 2021 at redemption prices beginning at 106%106% of par and declining over time to 100.0%100.0% for redemptions occurring from and after April 14, 2024.

The interest rate on the Secured Notes and the financial and other covenants in the Indenture remainremained unchanged.

In consideration for the Consenting Holders’ consents to the Indenture Amendments, the Company agreed among other things to issue them (i) an aggregate of 932,772 of the Company’s ordinary shares, nil par value per share (the “Consent Shares”"Consent Shares") and (ii) 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,844,020 of the Company’s ordinary shares for $4$4 per share (the “Consent Warrants”"Consent Warrants"). The Company agreed to filefiled a registration statement with the SEC covering resales of the Consent Shares and the shares issuable on exercise of the Consent Warrants. The fair value of Consent Shares not yet issued are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the fair value of Consent Warrants is included in derivative liabilities within our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Changes in fair value are recognized within Other, net in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On July 6, 2022, the Company received consents from the Consenting Holders of its Secured Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of October 14, 2016, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as trustee and collateral agent, to Indenture Amendments pursuant to the sixth supplemental indenture, dated as of July 6, 2022 (the "Sixth Supplemental Indenture").

The Sixth Supplemental Indenture includes a change to the amortization payment schedule of the Secured Notes from requiring semi-annual payments ranging from $12.1 million to $24.2 million beginning in April 2023, to requiring quarterly payments of $2.5 million beginning on July 15, 2024 and ending on July 15, 2025, with the remaining principal balance due on October 15, 2025, which will reduce expected amortization payments by $93.0 million over the next 36 months prior to the payment of the remaining principal balance at maturity. It removes the requirement that we maintain a cash reserve account for the benefit of holders of the Secured Notes, and adds a covenant that we maintain a minimum liquidity of at least $8.0 million, comprised of cash and certain other eligible investments, as of the end of each fiscal quarter. Provides that 40% of the net cash proceeds from a sale of all or a material portion of our Alba business, subject to certain exceptions, will be applied to repay Senior Secured Notes and the remaining 60% may be used by us to fund operating expenses, capital expenditures and other investments permitted by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. We have

- 9 -


also agreed that the holders of the Secured Notes will be entitled to appoint an observer to our board of directors. In addition, the debt incurrence covenant in the indenture governing our Convertible Notes has been amended to reduce our ability to incur indebtedness under certain baskets by the amount of any repayment of the Secured Notes as described above.

In consideration for the Consenting Holders’ consents to the Indenture Amendments, the Company agreed among other things to issue them 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,494,595 of the Company’s ordinary shares for $0.75 per share (the "Consent Warrants"). The Company plans to file a registration statement with the SEC covering resales of the shares issuable on exercise of the Consent Warrants.

Royalty liability

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%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”"Debt" to be treated as debt. The future cash outflows under the royalty rights agreements were estimated at $65.3$71.8 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, and $106.5$76.8 million at March 31, 2021.2022. The decrease in value of the future cash outflows under the royalty rights agreement at June 30, 2022, is driven by a change in the expected first date of sales to be made in Europe and the United States, to an earlier date, while not modifying our forecast for later periods. The royalty rights agreements are accounted for separately as freestanding financial instruments. Consideration received for the debt and royalty rights was allocated to each component on a relative fair value basis. The difference between the relative fair value of the royalty rights agreements and the principle on the Secured Notes is accounted for as debt discount and amortized through non-cash interest expense over the life of the Secured Notes. 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 royalty liability. The decrease in value of the future cash outflows under the royalty rights agreement as of September 30, 2021 is driven by a shift of expected revenues towards markets outside of Europe and the USA.

On March 12, 2021, the Company announced that 2 funds managed by CSAM in which the Company had invested an aggregate of approximately $110.35$110.35 million had suspended redemptions. The investments into these funds were made in accordance with the Company’s investment policy of making individual investments with a minimum of an A rating from a leading credit-rating agency. Each fund holds short-term credit obligations of various obligors. According to a press release issued by CSAM, redemptions in the funds were suspended because “certain"certain part of the Subfunds’ assets is currently subject to considerable uncertainties with respect to their accurate valuation." CSAM subsequently began a liquidation of the funds. Pursuant to the liquidation, the Company has already received cash distributions of approximately $86.8$89.0 million. Of this $86.8 million, the Company received $11.2 million of distributions during the three month period ended September 30, 2021 and $29.7 million during the six month period ended September 30, 2021. Based on information provided by Credit Suisse, the Company expects to receive further cash distributions from the funds in the next several months; however, there can be no assurance as to the timing or amount of any such distributions. Credit Suisse has advised that the credit assets held by the funds are covered by insurance that potentially will be available to cover losses the funds would incur if any of the obligors on the funds’ credit assets were to default.

On April 22, 2021, Credit Suisse published its FY 2021 Q1 press release with commentary related to the supply chain financing funds.Credit Suisse Supply Chain Finance Investment Grade Fund and the Credit Suisse (Lux) Supply Chain Finance Fund. Notably, Credit Suisse indicated that the investors in the funds should assume losses will be incurred. Additionally on April 4, 2022, Credit Suisse indicated in its Annual General Meeting that they expected that litigation will be necessary to reinforce claims against individual debtors and insurance companies and recovery is not expected to occur over the next 12 months for one of our funds. Therefore, we determined that one of our two funds should be classified as long-term as of March 31, 2022 and we have maintained that classification in June 30, 2022.

 For

In the year endedyear-ended March 31, 2021, Credit Suisse’s decision to liquidate funds in which the Company held short-term investments served as a trigger to evaluate the investments for impairment. Accordingly, we performed a qualitative assessment for impairment. As a result of this assessment, Quotient determined that an impairment was required.  Theand each quarter the Company evaluates information from Credit Suisse linked short-term investment asset with a carrying value of $110.3 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $108.0 million, resulting in an impairment of $2.3 million. This impairment was included in Other, net within our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the year endeddetermine whether there are further triggering events. Through March 31, 2021. No additional information was received during2022, the Company recorded $3.3 million in impairments associated with these funds. We recorded $1.0 million in impairment expenses in the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 that2022 based on information shared by Credit Suisse to CSAM investors on July 18, 2022, which included updated estimates of litigation costs incurred or to be incurred by Credit Suisse which Credit Suisse communicated would indicate further impairments were required. The carrying value ofbe deducted from investor recoveries.

No impairment expense was recorded in the investments at Septemberquarter ended June 30, 2021 was $20.8 million.2021.

 

The Company views the liquidation of the supply chain finance funds as a fluid situation with a significant amount of valuation uncertainty. The Company will closely monitor the situation and in the event that new information is released that provides valuation clarity, it will evaluate the accounting implications accordingly. The Company believes, and has advised Credit Suisse, that any losses on the supply chain funds, including recovery costs, should be borne by Credit Suisse. The Company will pursue all available options to recoup the full amount of its investment in the supply chain funds prior to liquidation.

The total unrealized gains on the short-term investments were $275$258 and $423$359 in the sixthree month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, respectively. The amount of these unrealized gains reclassified to earnings were $193$7 and $906$121 in the sixthree month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, respectively.

These grants, which were issued outside of our 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, were approved by our Board of Directors and the Remuneration Committee of our Board pursuant to the inducement grant exception under Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4), as an inducement that is material to Mr. Méndez joining our Company. The options vest in three equal installments on each first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. The options have a term of ten years and will be forfeited if not exercised before the expiration of their term. In addition, in the event Mr. Méndez’s service is terminated, any options not vested shall be forfeited upon termination. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, 138,227 of the stock options originally granted to Mr. Méndez were cancelled in connection with an amendment to his employment agreement with the Company

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 sixthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 amounted to $2,793$0.4 and $441,$2.4 million, respectively.

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

- 15 -


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, theThe fair value of ordinary shares has beenis 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.rate at time of grant.

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.

Note 11.10. Net Loss Per Share

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260 "Earnings Per ShareShare", 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, the ordinary shares issuable upon vesting of the RSUs, and the ordinary shares issuable on conversion of Convertible Notes.

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

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/A10-K for the year ended March 31, 20212022 filed with the SEC on November 15, 2021.June 28, 2022.

The information set forth and discussed below for the quarters ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 is derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements”"Financial Statements" above. The financial information set forth and discussed below is unaudited but includes all normal and 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/A10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021,2022, particularly in “Risk"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 3530 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.

We currently operate as one business segment with 433437 employees in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the United States, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022. Our principal markets are the United States, Europe and Japan. Based on the location of the customer, revenues outside the United States accounted for 43%45% of total revenue during the sixthree month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 30%44% during the sixthree month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.

We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations in each year since we commenced operations in 2007. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $654.3$763.9 million. We expect our operating losses to continue for at least the remainder of the fiscal year ending March 31, 20222023 as we continue our investment in the commercialization of MosaiQ. For the sixthree month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, our total revenue was $18.6$8.8 million and our net loss was $54.4$38.9 million.

From our incorporation in 2012 to March 31, 2021,2022, we have raised $160.0 million of gross proceeds through the private placement of our ordinary and preference shares and warrants, $433$433.0 million of gross proceeds from public offerings of our ordinary shares and issuances of ordinary shares upon exercise of warrants, and $145.0 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of 12% Senior Secured Notes ordue 2025 (which we refer to as the “Secured Notes”.

On May 26, 2021, we issued $95.0Secured Notes) and $105 million aggregate principal amount of gross proceeds from the issuance of 4.75% Convertible Notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) and on June 2, 2021,(which we issued an additional $10.0 million aggregate principal amount ofrefer to as the Convertible Notes.  Notes). In addition, on March 23, 2018, we raised $20.9 million from the sale and leaseback of our conventional reagents manufacturing facility near Edinburgh, Scotland, which we refer to as the Allan Robb Campus, or ARC, facility.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $20.0 million from a public offering of 32,458,336 of our ordinary shares and, in lieu of ordinary shares to certain investors, pre-funded warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 34,208,331 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $141.8$63.2 million and $8.3$8.7 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"Item 1. Business”Business" and “Item"Item 1A. Risk Factors”Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended March 31, 20212022 filed with the SEC on November 15, 2021.June 28, 2022.


IH Extended and Patient Microarrays

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.

Our extended IH microarray launched commercially in the European Union in the first half of 2022 and we currently expect that our MosaiQ patient IH microarray will commercially launch in the European Union before the end of calendar year 2023.

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.

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 initially 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. However, subsequent governmental restrictions implemented towards the end of 2020 have impacted our ability to conduct these trials, as discussed below. We announced the initial results from these trials in November 2020. Based on our internal performance testing, we subsequently determined to enhance a limited number of the tests on the expanded MosaiQ IH Microarray. In June 2021, we restarted field trials in Europe. 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. We expect these trials to commence in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2021. We expect EU and U.S. field trials for the expanded MosaiQ SDS Microarray as well as the Plasma Microarray to commence in the second quarter of calendar year 2022.

Ongoing Regulatory Approval Process – We submitted the European regulatory dossier for the expanded MosaiQ IH Microarray in November 2021. We continue to expect to receive the CE mark for the expanded MosaiQ IH Microarray around year end. We expect FDA submission in the first quarter of calendar year 2022.  The expanded immunohematology microarray will require BLA for US and we therefore expect anticipated timeline of approval between 15-18 months depending on the agency. We expect to make a European regulatory submission for the expanded MosaiQ SDS Microarray in the third quarter of calendar year 2022, with the U.S. regulatory submission following in the third or fourth quarter of calendar year 2022.

Patient IH Microarray – we are developing for Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics Inc. (or Ortho), a dedicated MosaiQ IH Microarray optimized for the patient transfusion market (which we refer to as the MosaiQ IH3 Microarray), and we expect to make a European regulatory submission in the second half of calendar year 2022.

COVID-19 Pandemic

You should read the following COVID-19 pandemic 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/A for the year ended March 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on November 15, 2021.

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 eachWe currently expect commercial launch of the major locationsextended IH microarray and the patient IH microarray in which we operate, the United Kingdom, SwitzerlandStates to occur in calendar year 2024.

SDS and MDS Microarrays

We currently expect commercial launch of the extended MosaiQ SDS microarray in European Union to occur before the end of calendar year 2023 in the United States before the end of calendar year 2024.
We currently expect commercial launch of the MosaiQ MDS microarray in the European Union to occur before the end of calendar year 2025.

CDS Microarrays

We currently expect commercial launch of the CDS autoimmune microarray in the European Union and the United States have implemented varying measures and restrictions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

The restrictions implemented at the beginning of the pandemic directly impacted our on-going clinical trials for our expanded MosaiQ IH Microarray in Europe and the commencement of clinical trials for our expanded 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. Byoccur before the end of May 2020, quarantine and containment measures and restrictions had eased in allcalendar year 2023.

We currently expect commercial launch of the three European trial locations allowing the workCDS allergy microarray to recommence.

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 Microarrayoccur in the United States, and in September 2020, we announcedEuropean Union before the EUA had been issued by the FDA for this Microarray. We signed the first commercial contract for the saleend 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.  In addition, we developed an enhanced, semi-quantitative MosaiQ COVID-19 Microarray, which has been CE marked as of January 29, 2021.calendar year 2024.

Revenue

In spite of this widespread increase of COVID-19 infections, the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions have not had a material adverse impact on our conventional reagent revenues. Customer demand has remained robust since March 31, 2020 and, to date, supply chain disruptions have been minimal. Our manufacturing operations in Edinburgh, Scotland have been adapted to meet social distancing requirements, which impacted our operating costs during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the on-going field trials for our expanded MosaiQ IH Microarray, with travel restrictions and lockdowns making it difficult for relevant teams to spend time on-site and resulting in trials repeatedly stopping and restarting. Furthermore, these restrictions and lockdowns have impacted our research and development activities, slowed down the regulatory approval process and delayed the timing of customer tenders. There continue to be surges in various countries or regions resulting in a continuous process of restriction and lockdown relaxations and re-instatement.  This continues to be a challenge to realization of all research and development activities including the clinical trial performance evaluations.

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 67% and 68% for the six month periods ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, 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.

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.

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 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.

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 with MosaiQ 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 Convertible Notes and the amortization debt discount and 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 instrument 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 3, “Debt”"Debt" and Note 7, “Ordinary6, "Ordinary and Preference Shares”Shares" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.

Other income (expense), net consists of the change in fair value of our convertible debt derivative, warrant liabilities and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. See Note 3, “Debt”"Debt" and Note 6, “Fair5, "Fair value measurement”measurement" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information. Exchange rate fluctuations 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 legal entities are Pounds Sterling, Swiss Francs, Euros, and U.S. Dollars depending on the entity.

OEM Sales. Product sales to OEM customers increased 5% to $11.8 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021, compared with $11.2 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2020. The increase was attributable to growth in incremental sales of conventional reagent products.

Direct Sales to Customers and Distributors. Product sales directly to customers and distributors of $6.4 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021 increased by $0.9 million compared with $5.6 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2020. This increase was due to increased direct sales in the United States which increased to $5.8 million in the six month period ended September 30, 2021 from $5.0 million in the six month period ended September 30, 2020 as a result of higher sales to existing customers and the expansion of our customer base.

MosaiQ Product Sales. MosaiQ sales in the six months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 consisted of revenues from our MosaiQ COVID-19 Microarray which decreased due to change in demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other Revenues. Other revenues for the six month period ended September 30, 2021 related to a development project for an OEM customer. In the six month period ended September 30, 2020, other revenues arose from the recognition of an initial milestone payment of $7.5 million received from Ortho in respect of the development of the MosaiQ IH3 Microarray.

Cost of revenue and gross margin

Cost of revenue decreased by 3% to $9.7 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021, compared with $9.9 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in cost of revenue reflected reduced costs associated with operating social distancing restrictions and the incremental costs associated with the 5% increase in product sales in the six month period ended September 30, 2021.

Gross profit on total revenue for the six month period ended September 30, 2021 was $8.9 million, compared with $15.1 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2020.  The decrease was attributable to the decrease of $7.3 million of other revenues in the six month period ended September 30, 2021 and offset by the increase in gross margin on product sales described below.

Gross profit on product sales, which excludes other revenues, was $8.7 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021 compared with $7.6 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to increased sales to the United States and lower costs associated with social distancing requirements.

Gross margin on product sales, which excludes other revenues, was 47% for the six month period ended September 30, 2021 compared with 43% for the six month period ended September 30, 2020.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses were $5.1 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021, compared with $4.5 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2020. This increase was attributable to greater personnel and other expenses related to the

planned commercial launch of MosaiQ and in related travel costs. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expenses were 28% for the six month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to 18% for the six month period ended September 30, 2020.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses increased by 21% to $29.3 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021, compared with $24.2 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2020.  Our research and development expenses included expenses of $1.5 million in the six month periods ended September 30, 2021 compared to $1.0 million in September 30, 2020 related to the costs of our intellectual property license with TTP. The increase in research and development costs is driven by higher material expenditures associated with the development of MosaiQ, salary and benefit costs, provisions on certain raw materials and the impact of foreign exchange on costs incurred in the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by 6% to $20.2 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021, compared with $19.1 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2020, reflecting higher salary and benefit costs and the impact of foreign exchange on costs incurred in the United Kingdom and Switzerland, offset by lower legal expenses related to our now settled dispute with Ortho. We recognized $3.2 million of stock compensation expense in the six month period ended September 30, 2021 compared with $2.3 million in the six month period ended September 30, 2020. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were 109% for the six month period ended September 30, 2021 and 76% for the six month period ended September 30, 2020.

Other income (expense)

Net interest expense was $12.4 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021, compared with $13.2 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2020. Interest expense in the six month period ended September 30, 2021 included $8.6 million of interest charges on our Secured Notes and royalty liabilities compared with $13.5 million in the six month period ended September 30, 2020. The decreased expense reflected changes in the royalty cost estimates. Interest expense for the six month period ended September 30, 2021 also included $3.4 million of interest charges related to the Convertible Notes which were issued during the six month period ended September 30, 2021. Net interest expense also included $0.5 million of dividends accrued on the 7% cumulative redeemable preference shares in each of the six month periods ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. In addition, in the six month period ended September 30, 2021 we realized interest income of $0.1 million on our short-term money market investments compared with $0.8 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2020.

Other, net was $4.2 million in income for the six month period ended September 30, 2021 compared with $5.6 million in income for six month period ended September 30, 2020. For the six month period ended September 30, 2021 this comprised a $7.3 million gain related to the change in fair value associated with the Convertible Loan derivatives and $3.1 million of foreign exchange losses arising on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies compared to $5.6 million of foreign exchange gains for the six month period ended September 30, 2020.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes in the six month period ended September 30, 2021 reflected the taxes payable on the taxable income of our subsidiaries.

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. Not all products ship on the same day so quarters where four shipments occur do not always align. In fiscal 20212022 we made 14 shipments with theexperienced additional shipments in the firstthird and fourth quarters. In fiscal 2022,2023, the greatest impact of extra product shipments is expected to occur in our fourththird quarter. The timing of shipment of bulk antisera products to our OEM customers may also move 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 milestones.

On July 6, 2022, the Company completed the Sixth Supplemental Indenture to customary anti-dilution adjustments. We have the right to redeem the Convertible Notes in certain circumstances.

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, we amended the Indentures governing our Secured Notes to, among other things, extend the final maturity of the Secured Notes which includes a change to October 2025 and revise the principal amortization payment schedule of the Secured Notes from requiring semi-annual payments ranging from $12.1 million to defer approximately $60$24.2 million beginning in April 2023, to requiring quarterly payments of $2.5 million beginning on July 15, 2024 and ending on July 15, 2025, with the remaining principal balance due on October 15, 2025, which will reduce expected amortization payments previously requiredby $93.0 million over the next 36 months prior to be made between April 2021the payment of the remaining principal balance at maturity.

We expect to fund our operations in the near-term, including the ongoing development of MosaiQ through successful field trial completion, achievement of required regulatory authorizations and commercialization from a combination of funding sources. These expected funding sources include the use of existing available cash and investment balances, the sale of rights and other assets, and the issuance of new equity or debt.

As of September 30, 2021, we had $141.8 million of available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and $8.3 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 progress in developing and commercializing MosaiQ and the cost required to complete development, obtain regulatory approvals and complete our manufacturing scale up;

our ability to pursue successful alternatives for commercializing MosaiQ in the patient market;

our ability to manufacture and sell our conventional reagent products, including the costs and timing of further expansion of our sales and marketing efforts;

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, our business and our development timeline for MosaiQ;

our ability to recoup the remaining approximately $23.6 million of funds invested in two funds that have suspended redemptions;

our ability to collect our accounts receivable;

our ability to generate cash from operations;

- 29 -


any acquisition of businesses or technologies that we may undertake; and

our ability to penetrate our existing market and new markets.

We currently expect that the additional net cash generated from the Convertible Notes issuance combined with our existing available cash and short-term investment balances are adequate to meet our forecasted cash requirements for the next twelve months.  

We expect to fund our operations in the near-term, including the ongoing development of MosaiQ through successful field trial completion, achievement of required regulatory authorizations and commercialization from a combination of funding sources. These expected funding sources include the use of existing available cash and short-term investment balances, the sale of rights and other assets, and the issuance of new equity or debt.

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.

For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Note 1, ‘Organization"Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021.2022. For a detailed description of our significant judgements and estimates, see “Management’s"Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. We have summarized material new significant judgements and estimates and critical accounting policies during the six month period ended September 30, 2021 below.  2022.

Convertible loan derivatives

The Convertible Notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”) and ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Based upon the Company’s analysis, it was determined the Convertible Notes contain embedded features that need to be separately accounted for as a derivative liability component. The proceeds received from the issuance of the convertible debt instruments were bifurcated and recorded as a liability within convertible loan derivatives in the consolidated balance sheet. The convertible loan derivatives are measured at fair value and changes are recognized within other, net in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of the convertible loan derivatives have been determined by utilizing a single factor lattice model using market-based observable inputs. The value of these derivatives could vary materially based on changes in these inputs and any such changes could materially impact our reported results. See Note 3, “Debt” andNote 6, “Fair value measurement” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Except as discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” weWe did not adopt any other new accounting pronouncements during the sixthree month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 that had a significant effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Item 4.4. 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2021, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures

- 30 -


were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relatedensure that information required to the accounting for our Senior Secured Notes and royalty rights agreements which existed as of September 30, 2021.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Based on its evaluation in accordance with the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issueddisclosed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework), management identified a material weaknessus in the operation of our internal control related to the historical accounting of the Senior Secured Notes and royalty rights agreements originating in October 2016, August 2018, and June 2019. Specifically, management of the Company determinedreports that it did not identify the correct accounting treatment at the time of entering into these transactions, and accounted for these instruments on a combined basis instead of treating these as separate freestanding financial instruments. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s previously filed consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and relevant unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for the fiscal year 2021 quarterly periods to correct errors in the Company’s accounting for its Senior Secured Notes and related royalty rights agreements. This also resulted in a restatement of our June 30, 2021 Form 10-Q.

Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

To remediate the material weakness identified above, we have implemented additional controls and procedures, which include but are not limited to:

increased involvement of external accounting specialists to assist and review complex, non-routine financing transactions entered into after March 31, 2021

management review (with the assistance of external accounting advisors) of the accounting treatment of all historical debt arrangementsfile or submit under US GAAP.

Based on the foregoing process and remediation measures, management believes that the above mentioned control deficiency will be remediated, but the material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act duringis recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2022 that materially affected,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 are reasonably likelypersons performing similar functions, as appropriate to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
