Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

Business

 

Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (“INBS”) (formerly known as GBS Inc.), and its wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, GBS Operations Inc. were each formed on December 5, 2016, under the laws of the state of Delaware. Our Australian subsidiary Intelligent Bio Solutions (APAC) Pty Ltd (formerly known as Glucose Biosensor Systems (Greater China) Pty Ltd) was formed on August 4, 2016, under the laws of New South Wales, Australia and was renamed to Intelligent Bio Solutions (APAC) Pty Ltd on January 6, 2023. On October 4, 2022, INBS acquired Intelligent Fingerprinting Limited (“IFP”), a company registered in England and Wales (the “IFP Acquisition”). The Glucose Biosensor System (Japan) Pty Ltd and Glucose Biosensor System (APAC) Pty Ltd, were deregistered on January 6, 2023, and June 9, 2022, respectively. INBS and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” “INBS” or the “Company,” unless context requires or indicates otherwise) were formed to provide a non-invasive, pain free innovative medical devices and screening devices. Our headquarters are in New York, New York.

 

We are a life sciences company marketing and developing non-invasive, real-time diagnostic testing for patients and their primary health practitioners at point of care. We operate globally with an objective to deliver intelligent pain free diagnostic tests.

 

Our current product portfolio includes:

 

  A proprietary portable drug screening system that works by analyzing fingerprint sweat using a one-time cartridge and portable handheld reader. The system comprises of commercially available non-invasive sweat-based fingerprint diagnostics testing products (the “IFP products”) that currently detect opioids, cocaine, methamphetamines, benzodiazepines, cannabis, methadone, buprenorphine, and amphetamine. Customers include safety-critical industries such as construction, transportation and logistics firms, along with drug treatment organizations in the rehabilitation sector, and judicial organizations.
  A development stage range of biosensor based Point of Care diagnostic tests (“POCT”) that are developed in the modalities of clinical chemistry, immunology, tumor markers, allergens, and endocrinology. Our flagship product candidate is the Saliva Glucose Biosensor (“SGB”), a POCT expected to substitute the finger pricking invasive blood glucose monitoring for diabetic patients. These tests stem from the Biosensor Platform that we license, across the Asia Pacific Region from Life Science Biosensor Diagnostics Pty Ltd (“LSBD” or “the Licensor”). The Biosensor Platform is capable of detecting multiple biological analytes by substituting the GOX enzyme with a suitable alternative for each analyte.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

At the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on February 8, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”), the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amendment”) to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-35 at any time within 12 months following the date of stockholder approval, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at its sole discretion without further approval or authorization of our stockholders. Pursuant to such authority granted by the Company’s stockholders, on February 8, 2023, the Board approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock and the filing of the Amendment to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split.

 

On February 9, 2023, the Company filed the Amendment in order to effect 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The Reverse Stock Split was effective at 4:05 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 9, 2023, at which time every twenty shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share are entitled to the rounding up of the fractional share to the nearest whole number. The par value of the Company’s common stock and the number of authorized shares of the common stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. The Company’s common stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the open of the markets on February 10, 2023. The Reverse Stock Split was implemented for the purpose of regaining compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of common stock outstanding was reduced from approximately 18,325,289 shares (excluding treasury shares) as of February 8, 2023, to approximately 916,265 shares (excluding treasury shares, and subject to the rounding up of fractional shares), and the number of authorized shares of common stock remains 100 million shares. In order reflect the Reverse Stock Split, proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock unit awards and warrants, which will result in a proportional decrease in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options, restricted stock unit awards and warrants, and, in the case of stock options and warrants, a proportional increase in the exercise price of all such stock options and warrants. In addition, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, as well as any applicable conversion prices, were also adjusted in proportion to the reverse split ratio of the Reverse Stock Split (subject to adjustment for fractional interests).

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all authorized, issued, and outstanding stock and per share amounts contained in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split for all prior periods presented. (See Note 21 for information and disclosures relating to adjustments related to the Reverse Stock Split).

 

NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (ASC 205-40) requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of the financial statements are issued. In each reporting period, including interim periods, an entity is required to assess conditions known and reasonably knowable as of the financial statement issuance date to determine whether it is probable an entity will not meet its financial obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable the entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

On December 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December 2022 Purchase Agreement”) with 14 investors (the “Series D Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Series D Investors in a Regulation S private placement (the “December 2022 Private Placement”) (i) 176,462 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), and (ii) 529,386 warrants (the “Series D Warrants”), with each warrant initially representing the right to purchase one share of common stock (0.05 shares post-Reverse Stock Split). An additional 26,469 warrants were issued to Winx Capital Pty Ltd., the placement agent for the December 2022 Private Placement, with each warrant initially representing the right to purchase one share of common stock (0.05 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) (the “Winx Warrants”). The Series D Warrants have an initial exercise price of $0.29 per share ($5.80 per share post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment) and expire June 22, 2028. The Winx Warrants had an initial exercise price of $0.52 per share ($10.40 per share post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment) and expire five years following the effective date of a registration statement covering the resale of common stock underlying the Series D Preferred Stock acquired by the Series D Investors. The Series D Preferred Stock and Series D Warrants were sold together as a unit (“Unit”), with each Unit consisting of one share of Series D Preferred Stock and three Series D Warrants. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock was initially convertible into three shares of Common Stock (0.15 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events). The purchase price for the Units was $1.25 per Unit. The Units offering price and the Series D Warrants exercise price were priced above the Nasdaq “Minimum Price” as that term is defined in Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)(1). The shares of Series D Preferred Stock were initially convertible into an aggregate of 529,386 shares of Common Stock (26,470 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) following shareholder approval of such conversion and without the payment of additional consideration. The December 2022 Private Placement closed on December 22, 2022. (See Note 21 for information and disclosures relating to adjustments related to the Reverse Stock Split). 

 

The Company is an emerging growth company and has not generated sufficient revenues to date. As such, the Company is generally subject to the risks associated with emerging growth companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future until such time, if at all, the Company completes the development process of its products, including regulatory approvals, and thereafter, begins to commercialize and achieve substantial acceptance in the marketplace for the first of a series of products in its medical device portfolio.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $420,600 and $1,628,893 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively (net loss of $3,459,998 and $4,892,650 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021). As of December 31, 2022, the Company has shareholders’ equity of $10,354,391, working capital of $1,563,530, and an accumulated deficit of $32,804,746.

 

In the near future, the Company anticipates incurring operating losses and does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities and may continue to incur operating losses until it completes the development of its products and seek regulatory approvals to market such products.

 

The Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as going concern within one year after the date of release of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022, of $2,911,682, will be insufficient to allow the Company to fund its current operating plan through at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued. Accordingly, the Company will be required to raise additional funds during the next 12 months. The Company is currently evaluating raising additional funds through private placements and/or public equity financing. However, there can be no assurance that, in the event that the Company requires additional financing, such financing will be available on terms which are favorable to the Company, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to delay or reduce the scope of its research programs and/or limit or cease its operations. In addition, the entity may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern unless it can successfully raise additional capital.

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods, in the opinion of the Company’s management, have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2023. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 22, 2022 and amended on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on October 7, 2022 (as amended, the “2022 Form 10-K”).

Principles of consolidation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and, when applicable, variable interest entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates where the Company does not exert a controlling financial interest are not consolidated.

 

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Equity offering costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized as deferred offering costs on the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred offering costs will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the related offering.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Business combinations

 

The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting and allocates the purchase price to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the relevant acquired business at their acquisition date fair values. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price in a business combination requires the Company to perform valuations with significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, discount rates and selection of comparable companies. The Company engages the assistance of valuation specialists in concluding on fair value measurements in connection with determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by delivering the promised goods or service deliverables to the customers. A good or service deliverable is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service deliverable.

 

Financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue and other income by product types for the purpose of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Currently, the Company has two products offerings. Accordingly, the Company has determined the following reporting segments (Refer to Note 4, Segment Information):

 

1)Commercially available Intelligent Fingerprinting Products (IFPG)
2)Development Stage Saliva Glucose Biosensor Platform (SGBP)

 

Revenues are used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s segments, the progress of major initiatives and the allocation of resources. All of the Company’s revenues, are attributable to the IFPG segment during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022. There was no revenues, during the three and six months ended December 31, 2021.

Revenue from the IFPG segment relates to the sale of readers, cartridges and accessories and is summarized as follows:

 

   2022   2021   2022   2021 
   Three Months Ended December 31,   Six Months Ended December 31, 
   2022   2021   2022   2021 
Sales of goods - cartridges  $214,361   $   $214,361   $ 
Sales of goods - readers   103,188        103,188     
Other sales   39,130        39,130     
Total revenue  $356,679   $   $356,679   $ 

 

Other income

 

The other income mainly comprised of deferred grant income and R&D tax refund.

 

  a) Deferred grant income

 

On June 30, 2021, the Company executed a definitive grant agreement with the Australian Government to assist with building a manufacturing facility. The grant has a total value of up to $4.7 million upon the achievement of certain milestones until March 28, 2024. Proceeds from the grant will be used primarily to reimburse the Company for costs incurred in the construction of the manufacturing facility.

 

Accounting for the grant does not fall under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as the Australian Government will not benefit directly from our manufacturing facility. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP on accounting for grants to for-profit business entities, we applied International Accounting Standards 20 (“IAS 20”), Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance by analogy when accounting for the Australian Government grant to the Company.

 

The Australian Government grant proceeds, which will be used to reimburse construction costs incurred, meet the definition of grants related to assets as the primary purpose for the payments is to fund the construction of a capital asset. Under IAS 20, government grants related to assets are presented in the statement of financial position either by setting up the grant as deferred income that is recognized in the statement of operation on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset or by deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset. Either of these two methods of presentation of grants related to assets in financial statements are regarded as acceptable alternatives under IAS 20. The Company has elected to record the grants received initially as deferred income and deducting the grant proceeds received from the gross costs of the assets or construction in progress (“CIP”) and the deferred grant income liability.

 

Under IAS 20, government grants are initially recognized when there is reasonable assurance the conditions of the grant will be met, and the grant will be received. As of June 30, 2021, management concluded that there was reasonable assurance the grant conditions will be met, and all milestone payment received. The total grant value of $4.7 million was recognized as both a grant receivable and deferred grant income on the grant effective date. The grant receivable was reduced by $2.1 million for payments received during the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 (no payments were received during the three or six months ended December 31, 2022) and $2.6 million remains in grant receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. The receivable balance as of December 31, 2022, is arrived at after considering the forex impact on the grant receivable by our foreign subsidiary.

 

After initial recognition, under IAS 20, government grants are recognized in earnings on a systematic basis in a manner that mirrors the manner in which the Company recognizes the underlying costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Further, IAS 20 permits for recognition in earnings either separately under a general heading such as other income, or as a reduction of the cost of the asset. The Company has elected to recognize government grant income separately within other income for operating expenditures. Similarly, for capital expenditures, the carrying amount of assets purchased or constructed out of the grant funds are presented net by deducting the grant proceeds received from the gross costs of the assets or CIP and deferred grant income liability. A total of $38,139 and $98,552 deferred grant income was recognized within other income during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. Deferred grant income recognized within other income during the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 was $31,399 and $31,399 respectively.

 

The current and the non-current classification of the deferred grant income is based on anticipated spending as included in the cash flow forecast prepared by the management.

 

  b) R&D tax refund

 

The Company measures the R&D grant income and receivable by considering the time spent by employees on eligible R&D activities and R&D costs incurred to external service providers. The R&D tax refund receivable is recognized when it is probable that the amount will be recovered in full through a future claim. A total of $231,486 and $482,393 of R&D tax refund income was recognized in other income during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. R&D tax refund income was $146,392 and $146,392 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

Development and regulatory approval expenses

 

Expenditures relating to research and development (“R&D”) are expensed as incurred and recorded in development and regulatory approval in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and Other Comprehensive Loss. R&D expenses include external expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties; salaries and personnel-related costs; license fees to acquire in-process technology and other expenses. The Company recognizes the benefit of refundable R&D tax refunds as a R&D tax refund income when there is reasonable assurance that the amount claimed will be recovered (refer to the R&D tax refund discussion above).

 

10

 

 

Intellectual property acquired for a particular research and development project and that have no alternative future uses (in other research and development projects or otherwise) are expensed in research and development costs at the time the costs are incurred.

 

In certain circumstances, the Company may be required to make advance payments to vendors for goods or services that will be received in the future for use in R&D activities. In such circumstances, the non-refundable advance payments are deferred and capitalized, even when there is no alternative future use for the R&D, until the related goods or services are provided. In circumstances where amounts have been paid in excess of costs incurred, the Company records a prepaid expense.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated from local (functional) currency to reporting currency (U.S. dollar) at the spot rate on the consolidated balance sheets date; income and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Foreign currency movements resulted in a gain of $361,597 and $226,038 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. Foreign currency movements resulted in a gain of $7,355 and a loss of $60,127 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

Income taxes

 

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not that the positions will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. It also provides guidance for de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualified for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company had no interest and penalties related to income taxes.

 

Licensing rights

 

During the first quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the Company purchased the license right procurement assets from LSBD for an amount of $976,308 in relation to the development and approval process for the Glucose Biosensor Technology in the APAC region. The Company recorded the license at the historical carrying value in the books of LSBD which was $nil and recorded the amount paid as a deemed dividend. The Company has agreed to pay royalties of sales & milestones payments as defined.

 

On September 12, 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated license agreement for Saliva Biosensor Technology. On June 23, 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement with LSBD for the worldwide rights to SARS-CoV-2 application of the Saliva Glucose Biosensor.

 

In relation to these licenses, there is no set expiration date for the license. However, the exclusivity of the license granted under the license agreement runs until the expiration of the patent portfolio covered by the agreement which is currently until 2033. No royalties have been incurred through to December 31, 2022.

 

11

 

 

On March 31, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with LSBD to provide the Company an option to acquire an exclusive license to use LSBD’s intellectual property in the Saliva Glucose Biosensor in North America (the “Option Agreement”). The Option Agreement has a term of two years ending March 31, 2023, and the exercise price for the option is $5,000,000. The fee of $500,000 incurred for the option was expensed in the period incurred. The option has not been exercised to date.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. General market conditions, as well as the Company’s research activities, can cause certain of its products to become obsolete. The Company writes down excess and obsolete inventories based upon a regular analysis of inventory on hand compared to historical and projected demand. The determination of projected demand requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to projected sales for each product. These write downs can influence results from operations.

 

Trade, note and other receivables

 

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Company, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 90 days past due.

 

Based upon the assessment of these factors, the Company recorded a bad debt provision of $22,918 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022. No bad debt provision was recognized during the three and six months ended December 31, 2021. Trade receivables are recognized net of bad debt provision.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) & Construction in Progress (CIP)

 

In accordance with the ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company’s PPE, except land, is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Land is stated at cost less any impairment losses. Costs incurred to acquire, construct, or install PPE, before the assets is ready for use, are capitalized in CIP at historical cost. The carrying amount of assets purchased or constructed out of the grant funds are presented net by deducting the grant proceeds received from the gross costs of the assets or CIP. CIP is not depreciated until such time when the asset is substantially completed and ready for its intended use. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the period in which the expense is incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms:

 

  Computers hardware and software – 3 years
  Equipment, Furniture and fixtures – 2-4 years
  Leasehold improvements – shorter of asset’s estimated useful life and the remaining term of the lease

 

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed periodically and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. Equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising upon de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying value of the asset) is included in gain or loss on sale of assets in the consolidated statements of operations in the period the asset is derecognized.

 

12

 

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. The Company evaluates its goodwill for potential impairment annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. The Company’s divisions are at the operating segment level, which is the level the Company’s management conducts regular reviews of the operating results. Goodwill created by acquiring a foreign operation is converted from foreign entity’s functional currency to Company’s reporting currency using the spot rate prevailing at the reporting date.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are considered long-lived assets and are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. The intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed any contractual periods. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets acquired from a foreign operation are translated from the foreign entity’s functional currency to the presentational currency based on the exchange rate at the reporting date.

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Lease arrangements are comprised primarily of real estate for which the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and the corresponding lease liabilities are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments considering the term of the lease, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, considering publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable, the Company compares the carrying amount of an asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows, excluding interest costs, expected to be generated by the asset group and its ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. The Company did not recognize any impairments of long-lived assets during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Net loss per share attributable to common shareholders (“EPS”)

 

The Company calculates earnings per share attributable to common shareholders in accordance with ASC 260, Earning Per Share. Basic net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by weighted average common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares, such as share warrants.

 

Potentially dilutive common shares is calculated in accordance with the treasury share method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all warrants are used to repurchase common share at market value. The number of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.

 

As the Company has incurred net losses in all periods, certain potentially dilutive securities, including convertible preferred stock, warrants to acquire common stock, and convertible notes payable have been excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share as the effects are antidilutive.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

As the Company is an emerging growth company, we have elected to defer the adoption of new accounting pronouncements until they would apply to private companies.

 

Adopted:

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that is within the scope of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and treasury stock method will be no longer available. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of July 1, 2022. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). This update requires all leases with a term greater than 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet through a right-of-use asset and a lease liability and the disclosure of key information pertaining to leasing arrangements. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim period within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, as amended by ASU 2020-05 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2022. There was no impact on adoption of ASU 2016-02 as the Company did not have any material leases as of July 1, 2022, and, therefore, application of transitional practical expedients provided by the ASU is not applicable. Topic 842 was applied to the lease assumed as part of the acquisition of IFP on October 4, 2022. See Note 10 for further information and disclosures relating to ASC 842.

 

Pending adoption:

 

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (“ASU 2021-10”). This update requires annual disclosures about transaction with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. Required disclosures include (1) information about the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for the transactions, (2) the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by the transactions, and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item, and (3) significant terms and conditions of the transactions, including commitments and contingencies. ASU 2021-10 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is planning to complete the required ASU 2021-10 disclosures with the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending on June 30, 2023. Based on the management’s assessment of ASU 2021-10, this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). ASU 2021-08 requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, as if it had originated the contracts. Prior to this ASU, an acquirer generally recognized contract assets acquired and contract liabilities assumed that arose from contracts with customers at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is to be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment. The Company has not early adopted and continues to evaluate the impact of the provisions of ASU 2021-08 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (Topic 326), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). This update (a) significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model which will be based on an estimate of current expected credit loss (“CECL”) (ASC 326-20); and (b) provides for recording credit losses on available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities through an allowance account (ASC 326-30). The standard also requires certain incremental disclosures. Subsequently, the FASB issued several ASUs to clarify, improve, or defer the adoption of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13, as amended by ASU 2019-10, is applicable for Smaller Reporting Companies (“SRCs”) for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not early adopted the standard and continues to evaluate the impact.

Concentration of credit risk

 

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, which may at times be in excess of the Australia Financial Claims Scheme, Financial Services Compensation Scheme or the United States’ Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits, with high credit quality financial institutions and attempts to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

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

 

Level 2-Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3-Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The Company has elected to carry its convertible notes at fair value.

 

Fair value option (“FVO”) for convertible notes

 

The Company elected the FVO for recognition of its convertible notes payable upon issuance as permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Under the FVO, the Company recognizes the convertible notes payable at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The FVO may be applied instrument by instrument, but it is irrevocable. As a result of applying the FVO, direct costs and fees related to the convertible notes are recognized in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as incurred and not deferred. Changes in accrued interest for the notes are included in the change in fair value of convertible notes. Changes in fair value of the convertible notes are recognized as part of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

NOTE 4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined it operates in two operating segments and has two reportable segments, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue and other income by product types for the purpose of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Currently, the Company has two products offerings. Accordingly, the Company has determined the following reporting segments:

 

1)Commercially available Intelligent Fingerprinting Products (“IFPG” or “IFPG segment”)
2)Development Stage Saliva Glucose Biosensor Platform (“SGBP” or “SGBP segment”)

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s revenue and other income by segment.

NOTE 5. INTELLIGENT FINGERPRINTING LIMITED ACQUISITION

 

On October 4, 2022, INBS acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Intelligent Fingerprinting Limited (IFP), a company registered in England and Wales, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, dated October 4, 2022 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among IFP, the holders of all of the issued shares in the capital of IFP (the “IFP Sellers”) and a representative of the Sellers. IFP owns a portfolio of intellectual property for diagnostic tests and associated technologies, including drug testing through the analysis of fingerprint sweat. The acquisition of IFP has expanded the Company’s platform of rapid, non-invasive diagnostic testing technologies.

The table below summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred in the acquisition:

 

Purchase consideration (pre Reverse Stock Split basis)  Amount 
Cash  $868,438 
Common Stock - 2,963,091 shares @ $0.5502 / share   1,630,293 
Series C Preferred Stock (base) - 2,363,003 shares @ 3 x $0.5502 / share   3,900,373 
Series C Preferred Stock (holdback) - 500,000 shares @ 3 x $0.5502 / share   825,300 
Total purchase price  $7,224,404 

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital stock of IFP, and as consideration therefor, the Company issued and sold to the Sellers upon the closing of the IFP Acquisition (the “IFP Closing”) an aggregate number of (i) 2,963,091 shares (148,155 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) 2,363,003 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).

 

Up to an additional 1,649,273 shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been reserved for potential future issuance by the Company, consisting of (i) 500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, that are being held back from the IFP Sellers for one year after the IFP Closing to secure potential indemnification claims by the Company against the IFP Sellers and (ii) 1,149,273 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to certain lenders to IFP (the “IFP Lenders”). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was initially convertible into three shares of Common Stock (0.15 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events), contingent upon approval by the Company’s stockholders.

 

Effective contemporaneously with the IFP Closing, the Company entered into an amendment to the bridge facility agreement between the Company and IFP, dated as of June 16, 2022, pursuant to which, among other things, the $504,938 (including accrued interest) loan from the Company to IFP that will remain outstanding following the date of the IFP Closing until the second anniversary of the date of the IFP Closing (the “Company-IFP Loan Agreement”).

 

The loan receivable from IFP of $504,938 as of October 4, 2022, was treated as a cash consideration in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations.

 

The Company entered into various loan agreements in the aggregate amount of £1,254,270.26, including accrued interest, pursuant to which IFP is the borrower and the Company became a guarantor of IFP’s obligations thereunder (the “IFP Loan Agreements” and, together with the Company-IFP Loan Agreement, the “Loan Agreements”). Under the Loan Agreements, the loans thereunder remained outstanding following the IFP Closing and (x) the loans and certain accrued interest will convert into shares of IFP, which shares of IFP will be immediately transferred to the Company in exchange for shares of common stock and Series C Preferred Stock (as set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement) following approval of the Company Stockholder Approval Matters (defined below) or (y) the loans and certain accrued interest will become repayable on the second anniversary of the date of the IFP Closing. The loans bear interest at 17% per annum on a compounded basis, increasing to 22% per annum on a compounded basis with effect from the date that falls 12 months following the date of the IFP Closing, if the Company Stockholder Approval Matters have not been approved by the Company’s stockholders by such date. The Company Stockholder Approval Matters” means the approval by the Company’s stockholders of (i) the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock and (ii) any amendments to, or adoption of, any option or warrant plans to give effect to the transactions contemplated under the Share Exchange Agreement.

 

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock (other than the IFP Lender Preferred Shares) would automatically convert into common stock upon approval of the Company’s stockholders of the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock into common stock, and each IFP Lender Preferred Share would convert into common stock at the option of the applicable holder of such IFP Lender Preferred Shares following approval of the Company’s stockholders of the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock into common stock. In the event Company stockholder approval is not received, the convertible notes and accrued interest would remain outstanding. The number of shares of common stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible is subject to adjustment in the case of any stock dividend, stock split, combinations, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the common stock.

 

The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series C Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock that the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 4, 2022, as further described below (the “Series C Certificate of Designation”).

 

The Series C Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights (other than as required by law) and does not carry dividends or a liquidation preference. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was initial convertible into 3 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment as noted above. Following the effectiveness of the 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split effective on February 9, 2023 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 0.15 shares of common stock. See Note 21 for further information and disclosures relating to Reverse Stock Split. The loan receivable from IFP of $504,938 as of October 4, 2022, was treated as a cash consideration in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations.

 

The cash purchase consideration includes $504,938 (including accrued interest) of funds previously loaned to IFP by the Company, representing a note receivable from IFP and $363,500 for bonus payments made on behalf of the selling shareholders of IFP. The first installment of $181,750 was paid during the three months ended December 31, 2022. A second installment of $181,750 will be made on six-month anniversary of closing date of the acquisition and is recognized as consideration payable included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company incurred $806,397 of equity issuance costs in relation to issuing common and Series C Preferred Stock to acquire IFP. These costs were recognized as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

The provisional allocation of the purchase price of IFP to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their relative fair values, is as follows:

 

      
Allocation of purchase consideration  Amount 
Assets:     
Cash and cash equivalents  $174,481 
Inventory   774,625 
Other current assets   345,038 
Property and Equipment   52,170 
Intangible assets   5,463,000

Total assets acquired   10,612,607 
Liabilities:     
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   (1,027,302)
Notes payable   (677,137)
Convertible notes payable   (1,683,764)
Total liabilities assumed   (3,388,203)
Net assets  $7,224,404 

 

Acquired intangible assets of $5,463,00 include technology of $5,119,000 (which is estimated to have a useful life of 5 years), customer relationships of $252,000 (which are estimated to have a useful life of 3 years), and trade names and trademarks of $92,000 (which are estimated to have an indefinite useful life). The value assigned to technology was determined using the multi-period excess earnings methodology under the income approach, the customer relationships was valued using the distributor method under the income approach, and the trade name and trademarks was valued using the relief from royalty method.

The acquisition produced $3,803,293 of goodwill, which has been assigned to the IFPG reporting unit. The goodwill is attributable to a combination of IFP’s assembled workforce and other product and operating synergies. Goodwill arising from the IFP Acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

 

The purchase price allocation is considered provisional as the Company finalizes its determination relating to the valuation of assets and liabilities and key assumptions, approaches and judgements with respect to intangible assets acquired and the related tax effects.

 

Transaction costs, except for the equity issuance costs discussed above, were not material.

 

Intangibles acquired were remeasured at December 31, 2022 using the applicable spot rate.

 

From the closing date of the IFP Acquisition through December 31, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $356,679 in revenue and $315,753 in net gain relating to IFP, which included the amortization of $340,022 acquired intangibles and fair value gain on revaluation of convertible notes for $1,267,791. In addition, the Series C Preferred holdback stocks which has been treated as deferred considerations, were revalued as of December 31, 2022, and resulted in the revaluation gain of $525,300.

On December 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December 2022 Purchase Agreement”) with 14 investors (the “Series D Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Series D Investors in a Regulation S private placement (the “December 2022 Private Placement”) (i) 176,462 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), and (ii) 529,386 warrants (the “Series D Warrants”), with each warrant initially representing the right to purchase one share of common stock (0.05 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events). An additional 26,469 warrants were issued to Winx Capital Pty Ltd. (the “Winx Warrants”), the placement agent for the December 2022 Private Placement, with each warrant initially representing the right to purchase one share of common stock (0.05 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events). The Series D Warrants had an initial exercise price of $0.29 per share ($5.80 per share post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment) and expire June 22, 2028.

The Company withheld 27,706 shares (1,386 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) for the payment of withholding taxes.

 

On October 4, 2022, the Company issued 2,963,091 shares (148,155 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) of common stock and 2,363,003 shares of Series C Preferred Stock as partial consideration in connection with the IFP Acquisition. The Company recognized $806,397 of equity issuance costs in relation to this transaction and recorded them as reduction to additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. An additional 500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be issued by the Company on the one-year anniversary of the IFP Acquisition, pending satisfaction of potential indemnification claims by the Company against the IFP Sellers. See Note 5 for further detail of the IFP Acquisition.

 

The Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are convertible into the Company’s common stock following approval of the Company’s stockholders of such conversion.

NOTE 15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Convertible notes

 

As detailed in Note 11, the Company assumed convertible notes as a result of the IFP Acquisition and elected to account for the convertible notes under the FVO. The Company estimated the fair value of the convertible notes based on the fair value of the maximum shares issuable upon conversion (1,149,273 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock) less one year of estimated interest to be incurred until October 4, 2023, since the number of shares to be issued factors in the interest charges for one year. If the note converts earlier than one year less shares will be issued as a result of this. If the note converts between year 1 and year 2 the maximum amount of shares gets issued and the Company will incur 22% annual interests for the period up to the date of conversion in the second year. The Company continues to estimate the fair value of the convertible notes using this method, reducing the estimated interest adjustment each quarter as the 1-year anniversary of the IFP Acquisition approaches. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2022, the fair value movement relates to the decrease in the share price from the time of acquisition to reporting date.

 

Increases or decreases in the fair value of the Company’s convertible notes carried at fair value are recognized as part of Other Income (expenses) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The interests incurred from the date of acquisition until December 31, 2022, are included as part of the Interest expense in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. None of the change in the value of the convertible notes was attributable to instrument specific credit risk.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the convertible note liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period:

 

      
   Convertible notes carried at fair value (Level 3) 
Balance at June 30, 2022  $ 
Fair value of convertible notes at acquisition (Note 5)   1,683,764 
Fair value gain on revaluation of convertible notes    (1,267,791)
Effect of foreign currency   107,730 
Balance at December 31, 2022  $

523,703

 

 

Series C Preferred Stock (holdback)

 

The Company has holdback 500,000 Series C Preferred Stock, from the IFP Sellers for one year after the IFP Closing to secure potential indemnification claims by the Company against the IFP Sellers. Therefore, the final number of shares to be issued after the one year measurement period is contingent on any potential claims and can be variable. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was initially convertible into three shares of Common Stock (0.15 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events), contingent upon approval by the Company’s stockholders. These shares are reserved, not issued, or held in Escrow account. As at December 31, 2022, the Company accounted for the fair value movement relates to the decrease in the share price from the time of acquisition to reporting date.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the holdback Preferred Stock measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period:

     
   Preferred Stock carried at fair value (Level 2) 
Balance at June 30, 2022  $ 
Fair value of holdback Series C Preferred Stock at acquisition (Note 5)   825,300 
Fair value gain on revaluation of hold back Series C Preferred Stock   (525,300)
Balance at December 31, 2022  $300,000 

 

The Company did not have assets or liabilities carried at fair value using Level 1 inputs during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

NOTE 16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

LSBD

 

Sales to and purchases from related parties are made in arm’s length transactions both at normal market prices and on normal commercial terms. The following transactions occurred with LSBD and senior management personnel during the period July 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022.

 

The Company incurred a total cost of $nil during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 (three and six months ended December 31, 2021: $26,081 and $145,733), towards overhead cost reimbursement which includes salaries, rents and other related overheads directly attributable to the Company which are included in general and administration expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss.

 

As of December 31, 2022, $8,545 (December 30, 2021: $9,536) remains payable to LSBD in relation to overhead reimbursements detailed above.

 

December 2022 Private Placement

 

Approximately 15.10% of funds raised in the December 2022 Private Placement were secured from Spiro Sakiris, our Chief Financial Officer (indirectly), and Manuel Kostandas, our Director of Global Integration, respectively. Mr. Sakiris indirectly invested $19,991 in the December 2022 Private Placement and Mr. Kostandas invested $13,327 in the December 2022 Private Placement.

 

NOTE 17. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

 

On May 29, 2020, LSBD, issued 14,000,000 common shares of BiosensX (North America) Inc. to the Company at par value of $0.001 per share. This transaction provided the Company with a 50% interest in BiosensX (North America) Inc., the holder of the technology license for the North America region.

 

21

 

 

The investment in BiosensX (North America) Inc. is accounted for by use of the equity method in accordance with ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures.

 

At the date of this transaction, LSBD was the parent of both the Company and BiosensX (North America) Inc., the transfer of BiosensX shares to the Company was deemed to be a common control transaction. As a result of the share transfer, the Company has significant influence over BiosensX (North America) Inc.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2022, LSBD sold all the shares it held in the Company but retained ownership of 5-year non-transferrable warrants to purchase 3,000,000 common shares (150,000 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) of the Company at an exercise price of $17 per share ($340.00 per share post-Reverse Stock Split), expiring December 31, 2025. The Company determined whether it has a controlling financial interest in BiosensX (North America) Inc. by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a VIE under GAAP. Voting interest entities are entities in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to finance itself independently and provides the equity holders with the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities. The Company consolidates voting interest entities in which it has all, or at least a majority of, the voting interests. As defined in applicable accounting standards, VIEs are entities that lack one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when an enterprise has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The enterprise with a controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, consolidates the VIE. The Company concluded that it does not have a controlling financial interest in BiosensX (North America) Inc., hence it continues to recognize its investments in BiosensX (North America) Inc. using the equity method.

 

The carrying amount of investments in BiosensX (North America) Inc. was $nil as of December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022.

 

NOTE 18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

During November 2022, the Company signed a deed of variation with the University of Newcastle for the research and development of the Saliva Glucose Biosensor. The Company agreed to pay the University of Newcastle $847,021 of which $847,021 remains payable as of December 31, 2022.

 

The Company has no material purchase commitments. For commitments on leases, refer to Note 13.

 

From time to time, the Company may become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, the Company is not involved in any pending or threatened legal proceedings that it believes could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, legal matters are inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot guarantee that the outcome of any potential legal matter will be favorable to the Company.

 

NOTE 19. INCOME TAX

 

The Company shall file its income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, Australian Taxation Office and His Majesty Revenue & Customs. The Company has operating losses carried forward of $30,023,714 which are derived from its operations in Australia, the UK and the US and are available to reduce future taxable income. Such loss carry forwards may be carried forward indefinitely, subject to compliance with tests of continuity and additional rules.

 

The net operating loss carried forward gives rise to a deferred tax asset of approximately $8,149,550 after offsetting associated deferred tax liabilities. However, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance of $8,149,550 against such deferred tax asset is necessary, as it cannot be determined that the losses carried forward will be utilized.

NOTE 20. LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock or common stock equivalents outstanding after adjusting for the Reverse Stock Split on February 8, 2023. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

NOTE 21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

At the annual meeting of stockholders held on February 8, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”), the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amendment”) to effect the reverse stock split at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-35 at any time within 12 months following the date of stockholder approval, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at its sole discretion without further approval or authorization of our stockholders. Pursuant to such authority granted by the Company’s stockholders, the Board approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock and the filing of the Amendment to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split. The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Reverse Stock Split became effective in accordance with the terms of the Amendment at 4:05 p.m. Eastern Time on February 9, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). The Amendment provided that, at the Effective Time, every 20 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share, which remains $0.01 per share.

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of common stock outstanding was reduced from approximately 18,325,289 shares (excluding treasury shares) as of February 8, 2023, to approximately 916,265 shares (excluding treasury shares, and subject to the rounding up of fractional shares), and the number of authorized shares of common stock remains 100 million shares. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock unit awards and warrants (including the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants, the Series D Warrants and the Winx Warrants), which will result in a proportional decrease in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options, restricted stock unit awards and warrants, and, in the case of stock options and warrants, a proportional increase in the exercise price of all such stock options and warrants. In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time was reduced proportionately. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, as well as any applicable conversion prices, were also adjusted in proportion to the reverse split ratio of the Reverse Stock Split (subject to adjustment for fractional interests).

 

No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share are entitled to the rounding up of the fractional share to the nearest whole number. The Reverse Stock Split was effective at 4:05 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 9, 2023, and the Company’s common stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the open of the markets on February 10, 2023. The Company’s post-Reverse Stock Split common stock has a new CUSIP number (CUSIP No. 36151G402), but the par value and other terms of the common stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

 

The table below sets forth the impact of the pre- and post- reverse stock split on the Company’s net loss per common share - basic and diluted; weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted; and shares issued and outstanding, for the years ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021; the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021; and the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Overview

 

Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (“INBS”) (formerly known as GBS Inc.), and its wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, GBS Operations Inc. were each formed on December 5, 2016, under the laws of the state of Delaware. Our Australian subsidiary Intelligent Bio Solutions (APAC) Pty Ltd (formerly known as Glucose Biosensor Systems (Greater China) Pty Ltd) was formed on August 4, 2016, under the laws of New South Wales, Australia and was renamed to Intelligent Bio Solutions (APAC) Pty Ltd on January 6, 2023. On October 4, 2022, INBS acquired Intelligent Fingerprinting Limited (“IFP”), a company registered in England and Wales (the “IFP Acquisition”). The Glucose Biosensor System (Japan) Pty Ltd and Glucose Biosensor System (APAC) Pty Ltd, were deregistered on January 6, 2023, and June 9, 2022, respectively. INBS and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” “INBS” or the “Company,” unless context requires or indicates otherwise) were formed to provide a non-invasive, pain free innovative medical devices and screening devices. Our headquarters are in New York, New York.

 

We are a life sciences company marketing and developing non-invasive, real-time diagnostic testing for patients and their primary health practitioners at point of care. We operate globally with an objective to deliver intelligent pain free diagnostic tests.

 

Our current product portfolio includes:

 

  A proprietary portable drug screening system that works by analyzing fingerprint sweat using a one-time cartridge and portable handheld reader. The system comprises of commercially available non-invasive sweat-based fingerprint diagnostics testing products (the “IFP products”) that currently detect opioids, cocaine, methamphetamines, benzodiazepines, cannabis, methadone, buprenorphine, and amphetamine. Customers include safety-critical industries such as construction, transportation and logistics firms, along with drug treatment organizations in the rehabilitation sector, and judicial organizations.
     
  A development stage range of biosensor based Point of Care diagnostic tests (“POCT”) that are developed in the modalities of clinical chemistry, immunology, tumor markers, allergens and endocrinology. Our flagship product candidate is the Saliva Glucose Biosensor (“SGB”), a POCT expected to substitute the finger pricking invasive blood glucose monitoring for diabetic patients. These tests stem from the Biosensor Platform that we license, across the Asia Pacific Region from Life Science Biosensor Diagnostics Pty Ltd (“LSBD” or “the Licensor”). The Biosensor Platform is capable of detecting multiple biological analytes by substituting the GOX enzyme with a suitable alternative for each analyte.

 

24

 

 

Our objectives:

 

  To expand the IFP product line in drug testing markets concentrating on:

 

    increasing market share in current markets, which have been the UK and West Europe.
    commence distribution into the Asia region and
    commence the regulatory approval process with the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the purpose of expanding into the sectors of the USA markets where such approval is required.

 

To complete development and commercialize the SGB the diagnostic test that stems from the Biosensor Platform that we license from LSBD, in the regions covered by the license. This will be followed by developing the platform further to testing across the diagnostic modalities of immunology, hormones, chemistry, tumor markers and nucleic acid tests.

 

Recent Developments

 

Highlights of our major achievements for the six months ended December 31, 2022, are:

 

  The Company completed the acquisition of Intelligent Fingerprinting Limited (“IFP”), a company registered in England and Wales and on October 4, 2022 (the “IFP Acquisition”). IFP owns a portfolio of intellectual property for diagnostic tests and associated technologies including drug testing through the analysis of fingerprint sweat. The acquisition of IFP has expanded the Company’s platform of rapid, non-invasive diagnostic testing technologies.

 

In connection with the IFP Acquisition, on October 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with IFP, the holders of all of the issued shares in the capital of IFP (collectively, the “IFP Sellers”) and the IFP Sellers’ representative” named therein.

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, among other things, the Company acquired from the Sellers all of the issued shares in the capital of IFP, and as consideration therefor the Company issued and sold to the Sellers upon the closing of the IFP Acquisition (the “IFP Closing”) an aggregate number of (i) 2,963,091 shares (148,155 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) 2,363,003 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).

 

Up to an additional 1,649,273 shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been reserved for potential future issuance by the Company, consisting of (i) 500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, , that are being held back from the Sellers for one year after the IFP Closing to secure potential indemnification claims by the Company against the IFP Sellers and (ii) 1,149,273 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to certain lenders to IFP (the “IFP Lenders”). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was initially convertible into three shares of Common Stock (0.15 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events), contingent upon approval by the Company’s stockholders.

 

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was initially convertible into three shares of Common Stock (0.15 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events), contingent upon approval by the Company’s stockholders.

 

Also pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company has an obligation to provide IFP with cash in an amount such that IFP is able to pay cash payments to certain current and former United Kingdom and United States-based employees and directors (the “IFP Bonus Recipients”), in aggregate amounts of £239,707 and $83,043, respectively (the “Cash Bonuses”), plus any applicable employer’s National Insurance contributions. The Cash Bonuses are being paid to the IFP Bonus Recipients in two equal instalments, with the first payment made immediately following the Closing and the second payment to be made on the six-month anniversary of such date.

 

Also pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company has agreed to make available to the employees of IFP (the “IFP Employees”) a Company stock option plan in form and substance satisfactory to the Company in relation to up to 1,000,000 shares (50,000 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) Common Stock following the Closing on the basis that an equal number of Company stock options will be granted to the IFP Employees and Company employees up to an aggregate amount of 2,000,000 (100,000 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) Company stock options.

 

Each of the Company, IFP and the Sellers made certain customary representations and warranties and agreed to certain covenants in the Share Exchange Agreement.

 

  On July 13, 2022, INBS completed Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved clinical studies at the Diabetes Research Institute of Sutter Health’s Mills-Peninsula Medical Center (MPMC) in San Mateo, California. The study design was intended to support the clinical development of its next-generation Saliva Glucose Biosensor. A total of 40 adult subjects with type 2 diabetes were recruited for the study. Nearly 1,400 samples of blood and oral fluids were collected and analyzed. The subsequent statistical analysis of the correlation of glucose levels among these sample types will act as foundation for building a robust portfolio of prospective clinical evidence, forming the backbone for future regulatory submissions.

  We are continuing to develop our R&D and manufacturing facility at University of Newcastle, Australia. During the quarter, we commenced the design of the facility and constructions of the facility is expected to start in second quarter of calendar year 2023.
     
  During the quarter, we received and commenced installation of new lab equipment including the Mass Spectrometer and GPC systems, which allows to improve the specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility of our Biosensor technology.
     
  On January 23, 2023, the Company published the results of Milestone 7, a phase of its biosensor platform development at the University of Newcastle, Australia, that included testing time-to-time (TTR), sensitivity, and reproducibility. The results showed a record 4x improvement in TTR, enabling the biosensor to return test results in under one minute.
     
  On December 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December 2022 Purchase Agreement”) with 14 investors (the “Series D Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Series D Investors in a Regulation S private placement (the “December 2022 Private Placement”) (i) 176,462 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), and (ii) 529,386 warrants (the “Series D Warrants”), with each warrant initially representing the right to purchase one share of common stock (0.05 shares post-Reverse Stock Split). An additional 26,469 warrants were issued to Winx Capital Pty Ltd., the placement agent for the December 2022 Private Placement, with each warrant initially representing the right to purchase one share of common stock (0.05 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) (the “Winx Warrants”). The Series D Warrants had an initial exercise price of $0.29 per share ($5.80 per share post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment) and expire June 22, 2028. The Winx Warrants had an initial exercise price of $0.52 per share ($10.40 per share post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment) and expire five years following the effective date of a registration statement covering the resale of common stock underlying the Series D Preferred Stock acquired by the Series D Investors. The Series D Preferred Stock and Series D Warrants were sold together as a unit (“Unit”), with each Unit consisting of one share of Series D Preferred Stock and three Series D Warrants. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock was initially convertible into three shares of Common Stock (0.15 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events). The purchase price for the Units was $1.25 per Unit. The Units offering price and the Series D Warrants exercise price were priced above the Nasdaq “Minimum Price” as that term is defined in Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)(1). The shares of Series D Preferred Stock were initially convertible into an aggregate of 529,386 shares (26,470 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) of Common Stock following shareholder approval of such conversion and without the payment of additional consideration. The December 2022 Private Placement closed on December 22, 2022. (See Note 21 for information and disclosures relating to adjustments related to the Reverse Stock Split).
     
  During the quarter, IFP continued to expand its customer base by entering sales contract with UK Insulated Glass Manufacturer, Glass Systems, Eastern Airways and Goldstar Transport, the UK’s market-leading container haulier.
     
At the Annual Meeting on February 8, 2023 the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amendment”) to effect the reverse stock split at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-35 at any time within 12 months following the date of stockholder approval, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at its sole discretion without further approval or authorization of our stockholders.

 

Pursuant to such authority granted by the Company’s stockholders, the Board approved a one-for-twenty reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock and the filing of the Amendment to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split. The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Reverse Stock Split became effective in accordance with the terms of the Amendment at 4:05 p.m. Eastern Time on February 9, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). The Amendment provided that, at the Effective Time, every 20 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share, which remains $0.01 per share.

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of common stock outstanding was reduced from approximately 18,325,289 shares (excluding treasury shares) as of February 8, 2023, to approximately 916,265 shares (excluding treasury shares, and subject to the rounding up of fractional shares), and the number of authorized shares of common stock remains 100 million shares. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock unit awards and warrants, which will result in a proportional decrease in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options, restricted stock unit awards and warrants, and, in the case of stock options and warrants, a proportional increase in the exercise price of all such stock options and warrants. In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2019 Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time was reduced proportionately.

 

The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, as well as any applicable conversion prices were also adjusted in proportion to the reverse split ratio of the Reverse Stock Split (subject to adjustment for fractional interests).

 

No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share are entitled to the rounding up of the fractional share to the nearest whole number. The Reverse Stock Split was effective at 4:05 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 9, 2023, and the Company’s common stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the open of the markets on February 10, 2023.

 

Our Products

 

Fingerprinting Drug Screening System (IFP)

 

Our recently acquired subsidiary, Intelligent Fingerprinting Limited, Intelligent (IFP), is the developer and owner of a unique and proprietary portable drug screening system. The system works by analyzing fingerprint sweat using a one-time (recyclable) cartridge and portable handheld reader. The system is non-invasive, fast, and cost-effective, with sample collection taking seconds with the simultaneous screening for multiple drug groups in ten minutes. A laboratory confirmation service is also available giving evidential levels of analysis should this be required. The system has applications within many sectors, and customers include safety-critical industries such as construction, transportation, and logistics firms, along with drug treatment organizations in the rehabilitation sector, as well as the United Kingdom (UK) coroners.

 

The Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System consists of a small, tamper-evident Drug Screening Cartridge (for sample collection) and the portable DSR-Plus, which reads the Cartridge to provide the drug screening results.

 

26

 

 

Intelligent Fingerprinting offers several fingerprint-based drug screening tests including:

 

  DSC2 – testing for Methamphetamine, Methadone, Benzodiazepines, Buprenorphine
  DSC 5 – testing for Opiates, Cocaine, Cannabis and Methamphetamines
  DSC 8 – testing for Opiates, Methadone, Buprenorphine and Benzodiazepines
  DSC 10 – testing for Amphetamine, Opiates, Cannabis and Cocaine

 

IFP has developed both a Point of Care drug screening test system (“POCT”) and a drug laboratory-based confirmation testing service. Both of these involve the collection of fingerprints sweat samples for analysis. For many years, competitor POCT systems and confirmation tests needed to rely on the collection of either urine or oral fluid (saliva) body fluid samples. There are several significant benefits of IFP analysis of fingerprint sweat over urine and oral fluid drug testing:

 

  1. Non-Invasive sample collection – Fingerprint sweat can be collected within seconds in any location without the need for specialist trained, gender-specific collectors or prepared collection areas. The sweat from fingerprints is collected simply by pressing each finger one by one for five seconds onto a disposable sample collection cartridge. In contrast, the collection of urine and oral fluid samples can take many hours, requires trained collectors, and to avoid cheating of the tests, the collection areas need to be specially prepared, and the collection of the sample directly observed, which is clearly extremely invasive and undignified in the case of urine.
     
  2. Hygienic and non-biohazardous – Fingerprint sweat samples are non-biohazardous and so the screening and collection kit material can be disposed of in routine waste or recycled. Kits used to collect urine and saliva are a potential biohazard and must be treated as such – either incinerated or into landfill.
     
  3. Accurate Results – The results of conventional urine and oral fluid POCT drug screening tests require reading of the test results through interpreting the presence or absence of coloured test lines using the naked eye. Often these test lines are weak and difficult to see, leading to inaccuracy in reading the test result. In contrast the results of the IFP screening test is provided automatically by the DSR-Plus reader unit. This provides an unambiguous test result that does not require any user interpretation, increasing the accuracy of the test.

 

The combination of these benefits mean that fingerprint drug testing provides a more cost-effective, less invasive and more dignified method when compared to urine and oral fluid-based tests.

 

Biosensor Platform Technology

 

The “Biosensor Platform” on which the SGB is based is a modified Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT). The OTFT structure consists of a source and drain electrode, a semiconducting layer, a gate electrode, an optional separation (or dielectric) layer, all printed on a substrate material and superimposed by a polyelectrolyte membrane/enzyme layer onto which the analyte is placed. The Biosensor Platform is capable of detecting multiple biological analytes by substituting the GOX enzyme with a suitable alternative for each analyte. The substitute enzyme will generate an electrical current signal that is detected in a manner identical to the SGB. Our flagship product candidate from Biosensor Platform Technology is the Saliva Glucose Test (SGT), a POCT expected to substitute the finger pricking invasive blood glucose monitoring for diabetic patient. Life Science Biosensor Diagnostics Pty Ltd (“LSBD” or Licensor) is an Australian company that owns the worldwide intellectual property rights to the biosensor platform from University of Newcastle, Australia. LSBD has licensed to us that technology for us to introduce and launch the platform in the APAC Region.

 

Our flagship product candidate from Biosensor Platform Technology is the Saliva Glucose Test (SGT), a POCT expected to substitute the finger pricking invasive blood glucose monitoring for diabetic patients.

 

The Saliva Glucose Test (SGT)

 

The SGB uses saliva to measure glucose non-invasively. When the SGB interacts with saliva, an electrochemical reaction is initiated that produces an electrical signal directly correlated to the amount of glucose present in the saliva. This measurement is then converted into a real-time saliva glucose reading by a software app on a smart device or a dedicated smart reader for those that do not possess a compliant and compatible smart device. The reading may then be stored in our proprietary cloud-based digital information system.

The SGT consists of: 

 

  The SGB – a single use disposable saliva biosensor, and
  Software app on a smart device or a dedicated reader that interfaces the SGB with our digital information system.

 

The Saliva Glucose Biosensor (SGB)

 

The SGB was invented at the Centre for Organic Electronics (COE) at the University of Newcastle, Australia. Patents for the SGB technology have been granted in the United States (9,766,199) and China (ZL201380022888.2). The core innovative characteristic of the SGB is the sensitivity of the glucose biosensor that enables it to detect glucose in saliva at concentrations between 8 and 200 µM and exhibits linear glucose sensing characteristics at these concentrations, sensing glucose at levels 100 times lower than in blood. In addition to the patent disclosures, details of the SGB design have been published in Applied Physical Letters, a peer-reviewed physics journal. The Licensor owns patents in Australia, China and the United States protecting the following technological claims of the SGB: the architecture of a biofunctional organic thin film transistor device comprising a gate electrode, a dielectric layer, a partially-organic semiconducting layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a substrate and an enzyme; the method for producing the organic thin film transistor device; and the method for determining the concentration of a compound in a sample by interpreting the amperometric signals generated by the device. The Chinese and the United States patent belong to the same patent family, originating from the Australian patent. As such, all of the patents relate to identical technology claims.

 

The basic OTFT structure consists of a source and drain electrode on a semiconducting material which is itself separated from a third gate electrode by a thin insulating layer. The COE has pioneered the fabrication of these novel biosensors based on integrating biomolecules, such as enzymes, directly into the architecture of organic transistors; producing electronic devices with both high sensitivity and high specificity for the target analyte. In these biosensors, a molecular recognition element can simply be integrated directly into the device structure, and in the case of the SGB, the recognition element is GOX.

 

The SGB interacts with the glucose in the saliva and initiates an enzymatic reaction whereby GOX enzyme produces hydrogen peroxide from glucose, which modifies the properties of the OTFT gate material, producing an electrical signal directly correlated to the amount of glucose present in the saliva. This measurement is then converted into a real-time saliva glucose reading, through the software app installed on a smart device or a dedicated smart reader. The data may then be transferred to our digital information system coupled with an artificial intelligence system, which will provide the patient with personalized healthcare advice enabling a practical understanding of lifestyle factors that may affect their glucose levels.

 

High quality OTFTs have been routinely fabricated at the materials node of the Australian National Fabrication Facility. The COE has pioneered the fabrication of novel biosensors based on integrating biomolecules, such as enzymes, directly into the architecture of organic transistors, producing electronic devices with both high sensitivity and high specificity for the target analyte and in this case, glucose.

 

The development of an intermediate device that communicates to the smart device has been completed. The intermediate device emulates a glucometer, providing the mechanical and electrical interfaces to receive and power the SGB as well as the required circuitry for accurately reading the amperometric signals. We intend to transfer the responsibilities of the intermediate device to the SGB.

 

The use of saliva as a meaningful proxy for estimating blood glucose level has been reported in scientific literature, including articles published in independent journals such as the Journal of Obesity, the Journal of International Oral Health, the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, the Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome, the Journal of Biological Regulators and Homeostatic Agents and Diabetologia, among others. However, a few articles have reported finding little or no significant correlation, including articles in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research and the Journal of Oral Science. Consequently, The company is performing clinical research with the objective to collect and provide the data necessary to support that saliva can be utilized as a non-invasive alternative to blood to monitor glycemic status in diabetes patients.

Other Tests Based on the Biosensor Platform

 

As discussed above, the architecture of the Biosensor Platform allows the recognition element of the biosensor to be exchanged. Accordingly, the GOX element used to detect glucose in the case of the SGB can be substituted for a different enzyme, cancer biomarkers, immunological tests, hormones and other biomarkers. The substitute recognition element will catalyze a reaction leading to a signal that is proportional to the amount of analyte, or participate in a binding reaction of labelled antibodies that will lead to a signal proportional to the amount of analyte of interest. Given the underlying sensing mechanism is unaltered, we believe the technical risk associated with the development and manufacturing scale-up of other tests for biomarkers other than glucose is considered to be relatively low.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We use working capital and cash measures to evaluate the performance of our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations. We define Working Capital as current assets less current liabilities. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under GAAP. This information is intended to provide investors with information about our liquidity. Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

Since our inception, our operations have primarily been financed through the issuance of our common stock, redeemable convertible preferred stock, and the incurrence of debt. As of December 31, 2022, we had $2,911,682 in cash and cash equivalents and $1,563,530 in working capital.

 

The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022, will be insufficient to allow the Company to fund its current operating plan through at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions may raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued. The Company is currently evaluating raising additional funds through private placements and or public equity financing. However, there can be no assurance that, in the event that the Company requires additional financing, such financing will be available on terms which are favorable to us, or at all. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $220,585 (before deducting the placement agent’s fees and the Company’s transaction expenses) in connection with the closing of the December 2022 Private Placement on December 22, 2022. In the event we require additional capital, there can be no assurances that we will be able to raise such capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital through debt or equity financings, or through collaboration agreements, strategic alliances or marketing and distribution arrangements, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our long-term liquidity needs and achieve our intended long-term business plan. Our failure to obtain such funding when needed could create a negative impact on our stock price or could potentially lead to a reduction in our operations or the failure of our company. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

As a result of the IFP Acquisition, the Company became the guarantor to unsecured convertible notes (also referred to herein as the IFP Loan Agreements) for which IFP is the borrower. The outstanding fair value of the convertible notes as of December 31, 2022, was $523,703. The convertible notes, plus certain accrued interest, will become due on October 4, 2024 (the second anniversary of the IFP Acquisition closing date), unless earlier converted. The convertible notes bear an interest rate of 17% per annum, on a compounded basis. The interest rate will increase to 22% per annum, on a compounded basis, on October 4, 2023 (the first anniversary of the IFP Acquisition closing date) if the Company’s shareholders have not yet approved (i) the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock and (ii) any amendments to, or adoption of, any option or warrant plans to give effect to the transactions contemplated under the Share Exchange Agreement.

Extended Transition Period for “Emerging Growth Companies”

 

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. Because our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates, investors may have difficulty evaluating or comparing our business, performance, or prospects in comparison to other public companies, which may have a negative impact on the value and liquidity of our common stock.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that impact the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Business Combinations

 

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of a business acquisition are generally recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Determining fair value of identifiable assets, particularly intangibles, and liabilities acquired also requires management to utilize assumptions and estimates, which are based upon available information that may be subject to further refinement over the purchase accounting period of one year.

 

Our critical accounting policies are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 22, 2022, and the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those in our June 30, 2022, Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 22, 2022.

 

Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

For the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, see Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 as described below.

 

32

 

 

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 a company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Notwithstanding the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, we believe that our unaudited condensed financial statements and other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our business, financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

 

Material Weaknesses

 

As a result of the assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of the evaluation date due to the following material weaknesses in control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication and monitoring.

 

The material weaknesses identified relate to the fact that the Company has not yet designed and maintained an effective control environment commensurate with its financial reporting requirements, including a) has not yet completed the formally documented policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of the Company’s accounting and reporting functions, b) lack of evidence to support the performance of controls and the adequacy of review procedures, including the completeness and accuracy of information used in the performance of controls and c) as an emerging growth company we currently have limited accounting personnel and other supervisory resources necessary to adequately execute the Company’s accounting processes and address its internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Remediation Plan

 

Management is committed to continuing with the steps necessary to remediate the control deficiencies that constituted the above material weaknesses. Since the IPO, we made the following enhancements to our control environment:

 

  We added accounting and finance personnel to provide additional individuals to allow for segregation of duties in the preparation and review of schedules, calculations, and journal entries that support financial reporting, to provide oversight, structure, and reporting lines, and to provide additional review over our disclosures;
  We enhanced our controls to improve the preparation and review over complex accounting measurements, and the application of GAAP to significant accounts and transactions, and our financial statement disclosures;
  We engage independent experts when complex transactions are entered into;
  We plan to recruit additional financial reporting and accounting personnel with adequate knowledge of US GAAP and SEC rules; and
  We are in the process of engaging outside consultants to assist us in our evaluation of the design, implementation, and documentation of internal controls that address the relevant risks, and that provide for appropriate evidence of performance of our internal controls (including completeness and accuracy procedures).

 

Under the direction of the audit committee of our board of directors, management will continue to take measures to remediate the material weakness in the fiscal year 2023. As such, we will continue to enhance corporate oversight over process-level controls and structures to ensure that there is appropriate assignment of authority, responsibility, and accountability to enable remediation of our material weakness.

 

As we continue to evaluate, and work to improve, our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine that additional measures to address control deficiencies or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary.

 

33

 

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Other than the ongoing remediation effort, described above, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d 15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. During the current quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of IFP. In accordance with the guidance issued by the SEC, recently acquired businesses may be excluded from management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the year of acquisition. Accordingly, management excluded the IFP Acquisition from the management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting from October 4, 2022 (the acquisition date), which excluded total assets and total net revenue representing approximately 63% & 100% respectively, of the Company’s related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for quarter ended December 31, 2022.

 

Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently engaged in any material legal proceedings.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 22, 2022, except for risks described below. Any of those risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

We may not be able to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market in order to maintain the listing of our common stock.

 

On March 17, 2022, the Company received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the minimum closing bid price per share for its common stock was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days preceding the date of the Notice, and that the Company did not meet the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

 

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 13, 2022 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. The Company was not able to regain compliance during this Compliance Period. On September 8, 2022, the Company filed a request for a second 180-day period within which to evidence compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement following the expiration of the initial compliance period on September 13, 2022. No further communication has been received from by Nasdaq as at the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

At our annual meeting of stockholders held on February 8, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”), the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amendment”) to effect the reverse stock split at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-35 at any time within 12 months following the date of stockholder approval, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by the Company’s Board at its sole discretion without further approval or authorization of our stockholders. The primary purpose of the reverse stock split was to increase the per share market price of its common stock.

 

Pursuant to the authority granted by the Company’s stockholders, the Board approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock and the filing of the Amendment to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split. The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Reverse Stock Split became effective in accordance with the terms of the Amendment at 4:05 p.m. Eastern Time on February 9, 2023, and the Company’s common stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the open of the markets on February 10, 2023.

 

Although the Reverse Stock Split brought the price of our common stock back above $1.00 per share in order to meet the requirements for the continued listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that the closing bid price of our common stock will remain at or above $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days, whether following the Reverse Stock Split or otherwise, which is required to cure our current Nasdaq listing standard deficiency. If we fail to satisfy the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our common stock, which could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to raise additional funds as well as the price and liquidity of our common stock.

 

Our Licensor is undergoing equity recapitalization the outcome with which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to use IP rights for the Licensed Products, as well as our business, financial condition and operating results

 

We are party to a Technology License Agreement (the “Technology License Agreement”) with Life Science Biosensor Diagnostics Pty Ltd. (“LSBD”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company licenses certain products from LSBD (the “Licensed Products”), and have a 50% interest in BiosensX (North America) Inc which has exclusive license to use, make, sell and offer to sell products under the intellectual property rights in connection with the Biosensor technology the glucose/diabetes management field in the United States, Mexico and Canada. According to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission’s (ASIC’s), Companies and Organizations Register, on May 10, 2022, LSBD filed a Notice of Appointment of External Administrator, followed by a filing of a Deed of Company Arrangement on the August 2, 2022. We understand that LSBD is proposing to undergo a recapitalization of its equity structure on or before February 28, 2023. We understand, the deed administrators granted a further extension from December 5, 2022, to February 28, 2023, to the Deed Proponents to complete their due diligence. The terms of such recapitalization or other outcome of such administration of LSBD could result in, among other things, change in control of the Licensor or more parties other than LSBD becoming the owner of the Intellectual Property (IP) rights. Accordingly, this has an inherent risk of the possibility of modifications to, or the Company’s ability to use, the Licensed Products, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 

Other than any sales previously reported in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, the Company did not sell any unregistered securities during the period covered by this report.
