Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and exhibits thereto, contains estimates, predictions, opinions, projections and other statements that may be interpreted as "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in Part I, Item 2: "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and are also contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "strategy," "objective," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "target," "potential," "will," "would," "could," "should," "continue," "contemplate," "might," "design" and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our expectations of the future, about which we cannot be certain, and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements include statements about:

•

our depleted cash and the likelihood that we will complete a restructuring of our balance sheet, procure additional funding, or a bankruptcy proceeding, and in either case, our outstanding ordinary and preferred shares and all outstanding options and warrants to acquire ordinary shares likely will be cancelled for no consideration or effectively extinguished through dilution;

•

ongoing discussions with a group of our noteholders for covenant relief and additional short-term and longer-term funding;

•

the possibility that we may have to cease operations and liquidate our MosaiQ business if we are unable to obtain additional capital;

•

our liquidity constraints and the impacts of a potential event of default under our senior secured notes arising from a missed interest payment on the notes;

•

our plans to shift our business strategy to focus in the near term exclusively on the development and commercialization of MosaiQ products for the autoimmune and allergy clinical diagnostics markets and implement significant cost reductions;

•

the risk that our ordinary shares may be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and that we will be unable to transfer to an alternative Nasdaq market tier;

•

continued or worsening adverse conditions in the global economic and financial markets, inflationary concerns, economic slowdowns, and international hostilities;

•

our anticipated cash needs, including the adequacy of our available cash and investment balances relative to our forecasted cash requirements for the next 12 months, the limited availability of sources of funding, and our estimates regarding our capital requirements and capital expenditures;

•

the impact on our business, financial condition and available liquidity of the uncertainty as to the timing and amount of future cash distributions by our investment funds in which we have remaining investments of approximately $18.6 million;

•

the continuing development, regulatory approval and commercialization of the MosaiQ™️ technology, or "MosaiQ", including the need to raise the funds needed for these activities;

•

the design of blood grouping and disease screening capabilities of MosaiQ, the potential for the expansion of MosaiQ into the larger clinical diagnostics market and the benefits of MosaiQ for both customers and patients

•

future demand for and customer adoption of MosaiQ, the factors that we believe will drive such demand and our ability to address such demand;

•

our expected profit margins for MosaiQ;

•

the size of the market for MosaiQ;

•

the regulation of MosaiQ by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, or other regulatory bodies, or any unanticipated regulatory changes or scrutiny by such regulators;

•

future plans for our conventional reagent products;

•

the status of our future relationships with customers, suppliers, and regulators relating to our products;

•

future demand for our conventional reagent products and our ability to meet such demand;

•

our ability to manage the risks associated with international operations;

•

anticipated changes, trends and challenges in our business and the transfusion diagnostics market;

- 1 -

•

the long-term impact on our business of the United Kingdom ceasing to be a member of the European Union;

•

the effects of competition;

•

the expected outcome or impact of arbitration or litigation;

•

our ability to protect our intellectual property and operate our business without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others; and

•

the status of our business relationship with Ortho.

You should also refer to the various factors identified in this and other reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including but not limited to those discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022, for a discussion of other important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. Further, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report represent our views only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

The principal activity of Quotient Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") is the development, manufacture and sale of products for the global transfusion diagnostics market. Products manufactured by the Group are sold to hospitals, blood banking operations and other diagnostics companies worldwide. Through our subsidiary Alba Bioscience Limited ("Alba"), we manufacture, distribute and sell conventional reagent products used primarily to identify blood group antigens and antibodies in donor and patient blood and to perform daily quality assurance testing for third-party blood grouping instrument platforms. For several years we have invested heavily in an innovative blood testing technology that we call MosaiQ. Since our initial public offering, our focus has been on developing our proprietary MosaiQ technology for use in blood grouping and donor disease screening, which is commonly referred to as transfusion diagnostics. More recently, we have explored MosaiQ's potential for use beyond transfusion diagnostics in the larger clinical diagnostics market. Specifically, as discussed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, we recently have expanded our focus to include potential applications for MosaiQ in the autoimmune and allergy clinical diagnostics markets. Our Alba business is profitable. To date, our MosaiQ business has incurred substantial losses and we expect it will continue to incur losses unless and until it successfully commercializes one or more products.

Updates on Liquidity, Financial Condition and Company Strategy

Recent developments have called into question our ability to execute successfully on this business strategy and indeed raises substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern.

While we have made substantial progress toward the commercialization of our MosaiQ-based transfusion diagnostics products, that progress has been expensive and has required us to continuously raise capital. Since earlier this year we have pursued various potential methods of raising the funds that we require to complete the commercialization of our products. Adverse conditions in the U.S. and global capital markets made our pursuit of capital very difficult. To date, we have been unable to raise additional capital in the amounts we require. We are now close to running out of cash and close to being forced to cease operations and liquidate our MosaiQ business. As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $41.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments, compared with approximately $63.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments as of June 30, 2022. Our investments include approximately $16.9 million of cash invested in two funds that have suspended redemptions, and there can be no assurance that we will receive future distributions of cash from these funds.

Because of our liquidity constraints, we have not made the interest payment on our Senior Secured Notes that was due on October 17, 2022, in the amount of $4.0 million. Under the indenture governing our Senior Secured Notes, it is an "Event of Default" if our failure to make the interest payment continues for 30 days (in other words, if the payment has not been made by the close of business on November 16, 2022).

We have continued to hold discussions with various parties, including certain of our noteholders, about alternative means of obtaining access to the funding that we now urgently need. In these discussions, to date:

•

The noteholders have agreed to amend the Senior Secured Notes indenture to eliminate our obligation to make a cash interest payment otherwise due on October 17, 2022, and to require us instead to make that interest payment by issuing new debt securities to the noteholders. Because of this amendment, our failure to make the October 17, 2022 interest payment when due will no longer be a default

•

Certain of the holders of our Senior Secured Notes have committed to provide bridge funding in the form of indebtedness in the amount of $3.7 million, when our available cash on hand declines below $7.0 million. The noteholders' obligations to fund the loan will be, subject to certain documentary conditions and deliverables

We continue to have constructive discussions with our noteholders regarding a restructuring of our outstanding indebtedness as well as additional funding, although noteholders are not presently contractually committed to provide or negotiate this funding and there is no assurance they will do so.

MosaiQ products for the autoimmune and allergy clinical diagnostics markets. This change in strategy would involve our implementation of significant cost reductions, including reductions in employee headcount.

There is no assurance that our negotiations with the noteholders or with other parties will result in definitive agreements or in our receipt of funding. If we are unable to reach definitive agreements and consummate a funding in the next few weeks, we may be required to shut down and liquidate our MosaiQ business or, possibly, to seek protection under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws. In either case, we expect that a restructuring of our balance sheet, the procurement of additional funding, or a bankruptcy proceeding, would likely result in the extinguishment, through cancellation for no consideration or through dilution, of all of our outstanding equity interests, including any outstanding options or warrants. To the extent we liquidate our MosaiQ business and/or commence an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, we expect we would seek to continue operating our Alba business but we would have no realistic prospect of repaying all our existing liabilities in full.

Basis of Presentation

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

In November 2022, Quotient implemented a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock in a ratio of 1-for-40. The number of shares, loss per share amounts, repurchase price per share amounts, and Common stock and Additional paid-in capital balances have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to give effect to the reverse stock split as if it occurred at the beginning of the first period presented. See Note 6 – Ordinary and Preference Shares for additional information.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The March 31, 2022 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended March 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. The results of operations for the three and six month period ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2023 and any future period.

The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations in each year since it commenced operations in 2007 and had an accumulated deficit of $809.8 million as of September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, the Company had available cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $41.4 million. Our investments include approximately $16.9 million of cash invested in two funds that have suspended redemptions.

As discussed above, under "Updates on Liquidity, Financial Condition and Company Strategy," there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

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

As of the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to further update estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of any assets or liabilities. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash comprised $0 at September 30, 2022 and $8.0 million at March 31, 2022, held in a cash reserve account pursuant to the indenture governing the Company’s 12% Senior Secured Notes ("the Secured Notes") and $0.8 and $0.7 million held at September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, held in a restricted account as security for the property rental obligations of the Company’s Swiss subsidiary.

Concentration of Credit Risks and Other Uncertainties

The Company evaluated the investments in the CSAM managed funds for impairment, in accordance with ASC 321-10-35, Investments – Equity Securities, and determined that its investment in two of the funds were impaired. We recorded $0.2 million and $1.2 million in impairment expenses in the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2022 related to litigation and administrative costs expected to be incurred by Credit Suisse which Credit Suisse communicated would be deducted from investor recoveries.

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

The Company’s main financial institutions for banking operation held all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

Revenue Recognition

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

The Company’s other significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the audited annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

There have been no significant changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Secured Notes

- 10 -

On October 14, 2016, the Company completed the private placement of up to $120 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes and entered into an indenture governing the Secured Notes with the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as trustee and collateral agent. The Company issued $84 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes on October 14, 2016 and an additional $36 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes on June 29, 2018. On December 18, 2018, the Company also completed certain amendments to the indenture governing the Secured Notes. The amendments included an increase to the aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes that can be issued under the indenture from $120 million to up to $145 million following the European CE Marking of the Company’s initial MosaiQ IH Microarray. On April 30, 2019, the Company was notified that it had received the European CE Marking of the initial MosaiQ IH Microarray and, on May 15, 2019, the Company issued the additional $25 million of Secured Notes.

As discussed above, because of our liquidity constraints, we have not made the interest payment on our Senior Secured Notes that was due on October 17, 2022, in the amount of $4.0 million. Under the indenture governing our Senior Secured Notes, it is an "Event of Default" if our failure to make the interest payment continues for 30 days (in other words, if the payment has not been made by the close of business on November 16, 2022). The noteholders have agreed to amend the Senior Secured Notes indenture to eliminate our obligation to make a cash interest payment otherwise due on October 17, 2022, and instead make a payment in kind through the issuance of new debt securities. Because of this amendment, our failure to make the October 17, 2022 interest payment when due will no longer be a default.

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

Interest on the Secured Notes accrues at a rate of 12% per annum and is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing on April 15, 2017. On April 15, 2021, the Company made a $12.1 million principal payment on the Secured Notes. Additionally, principal payments were due on each April 15 and October 15 until April 15, 2024 pursuant to a fixed amortization schedule.

The Company paid $8.7 million of the total proceeds of the three issuances into the cash reserve account maintained with the collateral agent under the terms of the indenture. Following the April 15, 2021 repayment of the Secured Notes the balance held in the cash reserve account was reduced to $8.0 million.

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

The Indenture Amendments included an 18-month extension of the final maturity of the Secured Notes to October 2025 and a revision of the Notes’ principal amortization schedule. The Indenture Amendments also changed the redemption prices for Notes redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of the Indenture. The Secured Notes may be redeemed from and after October 14, 2021 at redemption prices beginning at 106% of par and declining over time to 100.0% for redemptions occurring from and after April 14, 2024.

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

In consideration for the Consenting Holders’ consents to the Indenture Amendments, the Company agreed among other things to issue them (i) an aggregate of 23,319 of the Company’s ordinary shares, nil par value per share (the "Consent Shares") and (ii) 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 46,100 of the Company’s ordinary shares for $160 per share (the " 2021 Consent Warrants"). The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC covering resales of the Consent Shares and the shares issuable on exercise of the 2021 Consent Warrants. The fair value of Consent Shares not yet issued are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the fair value of 2021 Consent Warrants is included in derivative liabilities within our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Changes in fair value are recognized within Other, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

- 11 -

The Sixth Supplemental Indenture includes a change to the amortization payment schedule of the Secured Notes from requiring semi-annual payments ranging from $12.1 million to $24.2 million beginning in April 2023, to requiring quarterly payments of $2.5 million beginning on July 15, 2024 and ending on July 15, 2025, with the remaining principal balance due on October 15, 2025, which will reduce expected amortization payments by $93.0 million over the next 36 months prior to the payment of the remaining principal balance at maturity. It removes the requirement that we maintain a cash reserve account for the benefit of holders of the Secured Notes, and adds a covenant that we maintain a minimum liquidity of at least $8.0 million, comprised of cash and certain other eligible investments, as of the end of each fiscal quarter. It provides that 40% of the net cash proceeds from a sale of all or a material portion of our Alba business, subject to certain exceptions, will be applied to repay Senior Secured Notes and the remaining 60% may be used by us to fund operating expenses, capital expenditures and other investments permitted by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. We have also agreed that the holders of the Secured Notes will be entitled to appoint an observer to our board of directors. In addition, the debt incurrence covenant in the indenture governing our Convertible Notes has been amended to reduce our ability to incur indebtedness under certain baskets by the amount of any repayment of the Secured Notes as described above.

In consideration for the Consenting Holders’ consents to the Indenture Amendments, the Company issued them 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 212,364 of the Company’s ordinary shares for $30 per share (''2022 Consent Warrants"). The Company also filed a registration statement with the SEC covering resales of the shares issuable on exercise of the 2022 Consent Warrants.

The new principal amortization schedule of the Secured Notes is as follows:


Payment Date	Amount
July 15, 2024	$	2,500
October 15, 2024		2,500
January 1, 2025		2,500
April 15, 2025		2,500
July 15, 2025		2,500
October 15, 2025	The principal balance then outstanding

The Company is currently in the process of renegotiating elements of the Senior Secured Notes. See Note 1 for additional information.

Royalty liability

In connection with the three issuances of the Secured Notes as well as the December 2018 amendment of the related indenture, the Company has entered into royalty rights agreements, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay 3.4% of the aggregate net sales of MosaiQ instruments and consumables made in the donor testing market in the United States and the European Union. The royalties will be payable beginning on the date that the Company or its affiliates makes its first sale of MosaiQ consumables in the donor testing market in the European Union or the United States and will end on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the eighth anniversary of the first sale date occurs. The royalty rights agreements are treated as sales of future revenues that meet the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 470 "Debt" to be treated as debt. The royalty rights agreements are accounted for separately as freestanding financial instruments. Consideration received for the debt and royalty rights was allocated to each component on a relative fair value basis. The difference between the relative fair value of the royalty rights agreements and the principle on the Secured Notes is accounted for as debt discount and amortized through non-cash interest expense over the life of the Secured Notes. Estimating the future cash outflows under the royalty rights agreements requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions about future sales of MosaiQ products. These estimates of the magnitude and timing of MosaiQ sales are subject to significant variability due to the current status of development of MosaiQ products, and thus are subject to significant uncertainty. The decrease in value of the royalty rights agreement from $40.1 million at March 31, 2022 to $24.9 million September 30, 2022, is due to the Company's decision to prioritize the clinical portfolio, which is not subject to the royalty rights agreement, through at least calendar year 2025 which resulted in a reversal of all non-cash interest expense recognized to date for the royalty liability. The royalty liability will be held at the initial carrying amount unless the liability meets criteria necessary for debt extinguishment under ASC 405-20, Extinguishments of Liabilities or until estimated future cash outflows exceed the current carrying value which would result in additional interest expense to be recognized.

Convertible Notes

On May 26, 2021 the Company issued $95.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes and on June 2, 2021, the Company issued an additional $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes in connection with the original $95.0 million (collectively the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 4.75%. The Convertible Notes will mature on May 26, 2026. Accrued interest of $1.9 and $1.7 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 respectively.

- 12 -

At any time before the close of business on the second business day immediately before the maturity date, holders of the Convertible Notes can convert the Convertible Notes either in whole or in part into the Company’s ordinary shares at an initial conversion rate of 176.3668 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

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

The Company incurred approximately $3.7 million of debt issuance costs relating to the issuance of the Convertible Notes, which were recorded as a reduction to the Convertible Notes on the consolidated balance sheet, none of the issuance costs were attributable to the derivative component. The debt issuance costs and the debt discount are being amortized and recognized as additional interest expense over the expected life of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest rate method. We determined the expected life of the debt is equal to the five-year term of the Convertible Notes. The effective interest rate on the Convertible Notes is 12.9%. The total interest expense was $5.2 and $3.4 million with coupon interest of $2.5 and $1.7 million and the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $2.7 and $1.7 million, for the six month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The total interest expense was $2.6 and $2.5 million with coupon interest of $1.2 and $1.3 million and the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $1.4 and $1.2 million, for the three month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively

(1)

The fair value of pension plan assets has been determined as the surrender value of the portfolio of active insured employees held within the AXA LLP Foundation Suisse Romande collective investment fund.

(2)

The fair value of the Convertible loan derivatives has been determined by utilizing a single factor lattice model using market-based observable inputs such as historical share prices for Quotient Limited, interest rates derived from the U.S. Dollar Swap interest rate curve, credit spread, and implied volatility obtained from third party market price quotations.

(3)

The fair value of the 2021 and 2022 Consent Warrants (collectively ''Consent Warrants''), has been determined by utilizing a Black-Scholes model using market-based observable inputs such as historical share prices for Quotient Limited, quotations for US treasury interest rates, and implied volatility obtained from third party market price quotations.

On March 12, 2021, the Company announced that two funds managed by CSAM in which the Company had invested an aggregate of approximately $110.35 million had suspended redemptions. The investments into these funds were made in accordance with the Company’s investment policy of making individual investments with a minimum of an A rating from a leading credit-rating agency. Each fund holds short-term credit obligations of various obligors. According to a press release issued by CSAM, redemptions in the funds were suspended because "certain part of the Subfunds’ assets is currently subject to considerable uncertainties with respect to their accurate valuation." CSAM subsequently began a liquidation of the funds. Pursuant to the liquidation, the Company has already received cash distributions of approximately $89.0 million. Credit Suisse has advised that the credit assets held by the funds are covered by insurance that potentially will be available to cover losses the funds would incur if any of the obligors on the funds’ credit assets were to default.

On April 22, 2021, Credit Suisse published its FY 2021 Q1 press release with commentary related to the Credit Suisse Supply Chain Finance Investment Grade Fund and the Credit Suisse (Lux) Supply Chain Finance Fund. Notably, Credit Suisse indicated that investors in the funds should assume losses will be incurred. Additionally on April 4, 2022, Credit Suisse indicated in its Annual General Meeting that they expected that litigation will be necessary to reinforce claims against individual debtors and insurance companies and recovery is not expected to occur over the next 12 months for one of our funds. Therefore, we determined that one of our two funds should be classified as long-term as of March 31, 2022 and we have maintained that classification in September 30, 2022. On November 11, 2022, we received a $2.6 million cash payment from Credit Suisse related to the final liquidation of the Credit Suisse Supply Chain Finance Investment Grade Fund which was classified as a short-term investment in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the year-ended March 31, 2021, Credit Suisse’s decision to liquidate funds in which the Company held investments served as a trigger to evaluate the investments for impairment and each quarter the Company evaluates information from Credit Suisse to determine whether there are further triggering events. Through March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $3.3 million in impairments associated with these funds. We recorded $0.2 million and $1.2 million in impairment expenses in the three and six month period ended September 30, 2022 based on information shared by Credit Suisse to CSAM investors which included updated estimates of litigation provisions and administrative expenses incurred or to be incurred by Credit Suisse which Credit Suisse communicated would

- 14 -

be deducted from investor recoveries. No impairment expense was recorded in the three or six month periods ended September 30, 2021.

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

The total unrealized gains on the short-term investments were $249 and $275 in the six month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The amount of these unrealized gains reclassified to earnings were $26 and $193 in the six month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Ordinary shares

The Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares were as follows:


	Shares Issued and Outstanding

On June 28, 2022, the Company issued 811,458 ordinary shares in a public offering of shares at $12.00 per share.

On May 20, 2022, the Company received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s ordinary shares has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market and was granted an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement or until November 16, 2022. The Company effected a 1-for-40 reverse stock split on November 2, 2022 in an effort to meet this minimum average share price requirement. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. All outstanding share amounts have been restated to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split.

Preference shares

The Company’s issued and outstanding preference shares consist of the following:


	Shares Issued and Outstanding				Liquidation amount per share
	September 30, 2022		March 31, 2022		September 30, 2022		March 31, 2022
7% Cumulative Redeemable Preference shares		16,667		16,667	$	1,383.00	$	1,351.50
Total		16,667		16,667

The 7% Cumulative Redeemable Preference shares were issued to Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics Finco S.A.R.L., an affiliate of Ortho on January 29, 2015 at a subscription price of $22.50 per share. These preference shares are redeemable at the request of the shareholder on the "Redemption Trigger Date" which is currently the date of the ninth anniversary of the date of issue of the preference shares, but the Company may further extend the redemption date in one year increments up to the tenth anniversary of the date of issue. Because

- 15 -

the 7% Cumulative Redeemable Preference shares are redeemable at the option of the shareholders, they are shown as a liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 7. Share-Based Compensation

The Company records share-based compensation expense in respect of options and restricted share units ("RSUs") issued under its share incentive plans. Share-based compensation expense amounted to $35 and $1,404 in the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and $1,669 and $3,227 in the six month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Share option activity

The following table summarizes share option activity:


	Number of Share Options Outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Months)
Outstanding — March 31, 2022		71,263		$	195.20		90
Granted		15,531			53.20		120
Exercised		—			—		—
Forfeited		(13,240	)		257.20		—
Outstanding — September 30, 2022		73,554		$	154.00		94
Exercisable — September 30, 2022		24,981		$	258.00		67

At September 30, 2022, 59,440 RSUs were outstanding subject to time-based vesting and the weighted average remaining vesting period was 15 months. In addition, 460 RSUs were outstanding subject to vesting based on the achievement of various business milestones related mainly to the development, approval and marketing of MosaiQ. 53,437 RSUs were outstanding and subject to vesting based on the achievement of financial objectives in the year 2024 and 2025 assuming a 100% payout of applicable targets. The decrease in expense recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2022 is due to an assessment that certain performance based RSU's previously deemed probable of vesting were no longer probable of vesting due to the shift in business strategy described in Note 1. If the maximum payout ratio of these awards were to be achieved of 150%, 80,156 shares would be awarded.

Note 8. Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the income tax expense at the statutory rate to the provision for income taxes is as follows:

Note 10. Net Loss Per Share

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

As disclosed in Note 6 – Ordinary and Preference Shares, the Company implemented a reverse stock split in a ratio of 1-for-40 effective on November 2, 2022. The below computations of loss per share reflect the number of common stock shares after consideration for the reverse stock split. All common share and loss per share amounts have been adjusted retrospectively to give effect to the reverse stock split as if it occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.

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


	Quarter ended						Six months ended
	September 30						September 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Numerator:
Net loss available to ordinary shareholders - basic	$	(45,926	)	$	(27,105	)	$	(84,794	)		(54,397	)
Net loss available to ordinary shareholders - diluted	$	(45,926	)	$	(33,858	)	$	(84,794	)		(54,397	)

Denominator:
Weighted average ordinary shares outstanding		3,394,467			2,539,191			2,997,415			2,536,992
Assumed exercise of pre-funded warrants		855,208			—			439,287			—
Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic		4,249,675			2,539,191			3,436,702			2,536,992
Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted		4,249,675			3,002,154			3,436,702			2,536,992

Loss per share - basic	$	(10.81	)	$	(10.67	)	$	(24.67	)	$	(21.44	)
Loss per share - diluted	$	(10.81	)	$	(11.28	)	$	(24.67	)	$	(21.44	)

The 855,208 pre-funded warrants issued during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, are assumed to be exercised for the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share as the exercise price of $0.04 was deemed to be a non-substantive exercise price compared to the pre-funded cost of $11.96 per share and the fair value of our ordinary shares. These are treated as permanent equity for both basic and

- 17 -

diluted earnings per share calculations. Pre-funded warrants are not included in shares outstanding in our statement of stockholders equity or balance sheet, however the proceeds have been included in the value of share capital therein.

The following table sets out the numbers of ordinary shares excluded from the above computation of earnings per share at September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:


	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
Ordinary shares issuable on conversion of Convertible Notes at $226.80 per share(1)		462,963		—
Restricted share units awarded		113,338		68,917
Ordinary shares issuable on exercise of options to purchase ordinary shares		73,554		70,045
Ordinary shares issuable on exercise of warrants at $645.60 per share		2,788		2,788
Ordinary shares issuable on exercise of warrants at $375.00 per share		1,600		1,600
Ordinary shares issuable on exercise of 2021 Consent Warrants at $160.00 per share		46,101		—
Ordinary shares issuable on exercise of 2022 Consent Warrants at $30.00 per share		212,365		—
Consent Shares not yet issued		1,608		—
Total		914,317		143,351

(1) Ordinary shares issuable on conversion of Senior Convertible Notes at $226.80 per share, representing 462,962 shares, are anti-dilutive for the six months ended September 30, 2021.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on June 28, 2022.

The information set forth and discussed below for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 is derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" above. The financial information set forth and discussed below is unaudited but includes all normal and recurring adjustments that our management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Our results of operations for a particular quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for other quarters or the entire year.

In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, beliefs and expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022, particularly in "Risk Factors."

Overview

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

Updates on Liquidity, Financial Condition and Company Strategy

•

We understand that the noteholders' willingness to continue to pursue the potential funding arrangements summarized above is premised on a change in our business strategy in which we would suspend our activities focused on the commercialization of our transfusion diagnostics products and would instead focus in the near term exclusively on development and commercialization of MosaiQ products for the autoimmune and allergy clinical diagnostics markets. This change in strategy would involve our implementation of significant cost reductions, including reductions in employee headcount.

- 19 -

In an effort to sustain our business under current market conditions as we seek additional funding, we will shift our business strategy to focus our MosaiQ innovation pipeline on clinical diagnostics with testing solutions for allergy and autoimmune while pausing the development and commercialization of our MosaiQ testing solutions in immunohematology and infectious disease immunoassay screening. As we invest and reallocate resources, we will be reducing the number of employees, partners and costs to match the clinical diagnostics priority and seek to achieve a sustainable business, subject to obtaining additional funding. The discussion below of our historical financial condition, results of operations and liquidity position do not reflect any effects or costs of the shift in our business strategy or the potential funding arrangements that we are currently discussing with our noteholders; therefore, these historical results are not indicative of our expected results in future periods.

Business Overview

We currently operate as one business segment with 450 employees in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Dubai and the United States, as of September 30, 2022. Our principal markets are the United States, Europe and Japan. Based on the location of the customer, revenues outside the United States accounted for 45% of total revenue during the six month period ended September 30, 2022 and 43% during the three month period ended September 30, 2021.

We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations in each year since we commenced operations in 2007. As of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $809.8 million. We expect our operating losses to continue for at least the remainder of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 as we continue our investment in the commercialization of MosaiQ. For the six month period ended September 30, 2022, our total revenue was $17.7 million and our net loss was $84.8 million.

From our incorporation in 2012 to March 31, 2022, we have raised $160.0 million of gross proceeds through the private placement of our ordinary and preference shares and warrants, $433.0 million of gross proceeds from public offerings of our ordinary shares and issuances of ordinary shares upon exercise of warrants, $145.0 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (which we refer to as the Secured Notes) and $105 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of 4.75% Convertible Notes due 2026 (which we refer to as the Convertible Notes). In addition, on March 23, 2018, we raised $20.9 million from the sale and leaseback of our conventional reagents manufacturing facility near Edinburgh, Scotland, which we refer to as the Allan Robb Campus, or ARC, facility.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $20.0 million from a public offering of 811,458 of our ordinary shares and, in lieu of ordinary shares to certain investors, pre-funded warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 855,208 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.04 per share after accounting for the reverse stock split.

As of September 30, 2022, we had available cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $41.4 million and $0.8 million of restricted cash held as part of the arrangements relating to our Secured Notes and the lease of our property in Eysins, Switzerland.

Regulatory and Commercial Milestones

You should read the following regulatory and commercial milestones update in conjunction with the discussion included under the sections "Item 1. Business" and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on June 28, 2022.

Clinical diagnostics microarrays

•

We currently expect commercial launch of the clinical diagnostics autoimmune microarray to occur before the end of calendar year 2023.

•

We currently expect commercial launch of the clinical diagnostics allergy microarray to occur before the end of calendar year 2024.

Revenue

We generate product sales revenue from the sale of conventional reagent products directly to hospitals, donor collection agencies and independent testing laboratories in the United States, the United Kingdom and to distributors in Europe and the rest of the world, and indirectly through sales to our original equipment manufacturer (or OEM) customers. We recognize revenues in the form of product

- 20 -

sales when the goods are shipped. We also provide product development services to our OEM customers. We recognize revenue from these contractual relationships in the form of product development fees, which are included in other revenues.

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

Cost of revenue and operating expenses

Cost of revenue consists of direct labor expenses, including employee benefits, overhead expenses, material costs and freight costs, along with the depreciation of manufacturing equipment and leasehold improvements. Our gross margin represents total revenue less the cost of revenue, gross margin represents gross margin expressed as a percentage of total revenue, and gross margin on product sales represents gross margin excluding other revenues as a percentage of revenues excluding other revenues. We expect our overall cost of revenue to increase in absolute U.S. Dollars as we continue to increase our product sales volumes. However, we also believe that we can achieve efficiencies in our manufacturing operations, primarily through increasing production volumes.

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

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

We expense all research and development costs as incurred, net of government grants received and tax credits. Our UK subsidiary claims certain tax credits on its research and development expenditures and these are included as an offset to our research and development expenses. Our research and development efforts are focused on developing new products and technologies for the global transfusion diagnostics market. We expect our costs associated with field trials and regulatory approvals will increase at the same time as our development costs with MosaiQ decrease. As we move to commercialization of MosaiQ in the donor testing market, we expect our overall research and development expense to decrease.

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

Net interest expense consists primarily of interest charges on our Secured Notes and Convertible Notes and the amortization debt discount and debt issuance costs (which includes amortization of the one-time consent payment of $3.9 million paid to holders of our Secured Notes in December 2018), as well as accrued dividends on the 7% cumulative redeemable preference shares issued in January 2015. We amortize debt issuance costs over the life of the instrument and report them as interest expense in our statements of operations. Net interest also includes the expected costs of the royalty rights agreements we entered into in October 2016, June 2018, December 2018 and May 2019 with the purchasers and consenting holders, as applicable, of our Secured Notes. See Note 3, "Debt" and Note 6, "Ordinary and Preference Shares" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.

Other income (expense), net consists of the change in fair value of our convertible debt derivative, warrant liabilities and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. See Note 3, "Debt" and Note 5, "Fair value measurement" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information. Exchange rate fluctuations include realized exchange fluctuations resulting from the settlement of transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies of our businesses. Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are measured at the period-end closing rate with resulting unrealized exchange fluctuations. The functional currencies of our legal entities are Pounds Sterling, Swiss Francs, Euros, and U.S. Dollars depending on the entity.

Provision for income taxes in the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, reflected the taxes chargeable on the taxable income of our subsidiaries.

Revenue

Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 decreased by 6% to $8.9 million compared with $9.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in product sales relates primarily to reduced orders from an OEM customer in our conventional reagent business. Other revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 related to a small development project for an OEM customer.

Cost of revenue and gross margin

Cost of revenue increased by 333% to $21.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared with $4.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase in costs of revenue of resulted from a $15.8 million write-off of transfusion related MosaiQ inventory and purchase commitments. There were also higher costs in our conventional reagent business due to inventory write-downs and write-offs of certain products due to expiration of products and quality control tests, and higher production costs associated with inflation.

Gross margin on total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was a $12.3 million loss, a decrease of 367% when compared with a $4.6 million profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Total gross margin on sales was (138)% in the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to 49% in the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses were $3.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared with $2.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This increase was attributable to greater personnel and other expenses related to the planned commercial launch of MosaiQ and the opening of a sales office in the Middle-East. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expenses were 40% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to 28% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by 9% to $14.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared with $15.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in research and development expenses is driven by lower write-offs of research and development materials and lower third party costs associated with field trials in the quarter.

General and administrative expenses

- 22 -

General and administrative expenses decreased by 23% to $7.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared with $10.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease of stock compensation expense in the period where we recognized $35 in the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared with $1,404 in the quarter ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were 87% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to 106% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Other (expense) income

Net interest income was $7.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared with $9.4 million in interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Interest income in the quarter ended September 30, 2022 included $10.1 million of interest income on our Secured Notes and royalty liabilities compared with $6.7 million expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Income recognized in 2022 resulted from decrease in the estimated payments due under the royalty rights agreement. Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 also included $2.6 million of interest charges related to the Convertible Notes compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Net interest expense also included $0.3 million of dividends accrued on the 7% cumulative redeemable preference shares in each of the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. In the quarter ended September 30, 2021 we realized gains of $0.1 million on our short-term money market investments while no gains were recognized in September 30, 2022.

Other, net was a $15.2 million expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared with a $5.9 million gain for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022 this comprised a $2.1 million gain related to the change in fair value associated with derivative liabilities, a $0.2 million impairment related to the change in estimated fair value of CSAM funds and $17.1 million in foreign exchange losses arising on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. In the quarter ended September 30, 2021 this comprised a $9.3 million gain related to the change in fair value associated with the Convertible Loan derivatives and $3.4 million in foreign exchange losses arising on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes in the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, reflected the taxes chargeable on the taxable income of our subsidiaries.

Revenue

Total revenue for the six month period ended September 30, 2022 decreased by 5% to $17.7 million, compared with $18.6 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021.

- 23 -

The decrease in product sales relates primarily to reduced orders from an OEM customer in our conventional reagent business. Other revenues for the six month period ended September 30, 2021 related to a small development project for an OEM customer.

Cost of revenue and gross margin

Cost of revenue increased by 182% to $27.2 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2022, compared with $9.7 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021. The increase in costs of revenue of resulted from a $15.8 million write-down of transfusion related MosaiQ inventory and purchase commitments. There were also higher costs in our conventional reagent business due to inventory write-downs and write-offs of certain products due to expiration of products and quality control tests, higher production costs associated with inflation, and higher costs associated with sales mix in the six month period ended September 30, 2022.

Gross margin on total revenue for the six month period ended September 30, 2022 was a $9.6 million loss, compared with $8.9 million gross margin for the six month period ended September 30, 2021.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses were $6.8 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2022, compared with $5.1 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021. This increase was attributable to greater personnel and other expenses related to commercial launch activities with MosaiQ, opening of a sales office in the Middle-East, and related travel costs. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expenses were 39% for the six month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to 28% for the six month period ended September 30, 2021.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by 3% to $28.4 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2022, compared with $29.3 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in research and development expenses in 2022, is driven by a payment of $1.5 million related to the costs of our intellectual property license with TTP which were incurred in 2021 but did not occur in 2022. This was offset by higher expenses related to additional employee and third party expenses to support planned field trials and product development.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by 7% to $18.7 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2022, compared with $20.2 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily driven by a reduction in stock compensation expense which was $1.7 million in the six month period ended September 30, 2022 compared with $3.2 million in the six month period ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were 106% for the six month period ended September 30, 2022 and 109% for the six month period ended September 30, 2021.

Other income (expense)

Net interest expense was $1.2 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2022, compared with $12.4 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021. Interest expense in the six month period ended September 30, 2021 included $4.5 million of interest income on our Secured Notes and royalty liabilities compared with $8.6 million in expense the six month period ended September 30, 2021. The decreased expense reflected changes in the royalty cost estimates. Interest expense for the six month period ended September 30, 2022 also included $5.2 million of interest charges related to the Convertible Notes compared to $3.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Net interest expense also included $0.5 million of dividends accrued on the 7% cumulative redeemable preference shares in each of the six month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. In addition, in the six month period ended September 30, 2021 we realized interest income of $0.1 million on our short-term money market investments while no interest income was recognized in the six month period ended September 30, 2022.

Other, net was $19.6 million in expense for the six month period ended September 30, 2022 compared with a $4.2 gain for the six month period ended September 30, 2021. For the six month period ended September 30, 2022 this comprised a $12.9 million gain related to the change in fair value associated with the Convertible Loan derivatives and warrants, $31.3 million of foreign exchange losses arising on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and a $1.2 million impairment related to the change in estimated fair value of CSAM funds. For the six month period ended September 30, 2021 this comprised a $7.3 million gain related to the change in fair value associated with the Convertible Loan derivatives and $3.1 million of foreign exchange losses arising on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Provision for income taxes

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

Quarterly Results of Operations

Our quarterly product sales can fluctuate depending upon the shipment cycles for our red blood cell-based products, which account for approximately two-thirds of our current product sales. For these products, we typically experience 13 shipping cycles per year. This equates to three shipments of each product per quarter, except for one quarter per year when four shipments occur. Not all products ship on the same day so quarters where four shipments occur do not always align. In fiscal 2022 we experienced additional shipments in the third and fourth quarters. In fiscal 2023, the greatest impact of extra product shipments is expected to occur in our third quarter. The timing of shipment of bulk antisera products to our OEM customers may also move revenues from quarter to quarter. We also experience some seasonality in demand around holiday periods in both Europe and the United States. As a result of these factors, we expect to continue to see seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variations in our product sales.

The timing of product development fees included in other revenues is mostly dependent upon the achievement of pre-negotiated project milestones.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

See "Updates on Liquidity, Financial Condition and Company Strategy" above for a discussion of recent developments affecting our current and expected liquidity and capital resources.

Since our commencement of operations in 2007, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $809.8 million. During the six month period ended September 30, 2022, we incurred a net loss of $84.8 million and used $64.3 million of cash in operating activities. As described under results of operations, our use of cash during the six month period ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to our investment in the development of MosaiQ and corporate costs, including costs related to being a public company.

From our incorporation in 2012 to March 31, 2022, we have raised $160.0 million of gross proceeds through the private placement of our ordinary and preference shares and warrants, $433.0 million of gross proceeds from public offerings of our ordinary shares and issuances of ordinary shares upon exercise of warrants, $145.0 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of the Secured Notes and $105 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes. In addition, on March 23, 2018, we raised $20.9 million from the sale and leaseback of the Allan Robb Campus.

During the six month period ended September 30, 2022, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $20.0 million from a public offering of 811,458 of our ordinary shares and, in lieu of ordinary shares to certain investors, pre-funded warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 855,208 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.04 per share.

On July 6, 2022, the Company completed the Sixth Supplemental Indenture to the Secured Notes which includes a change to the amortization payment schedule of the Secured Notes from requiring semi-annual payments ranging from $12.1 million to $24.2 million beginning in April 2023, to requiring quarterly payments of $2.5 million beginning on July 15, 2024 and ending on July 15, 2025, with the remaining principal balance due on October 15, 2025, which will reduce expected amortization payments by $93.0 million over the next 36 months prior to the payment of the remaining principal balance at maturity. It eliminates the requirement that we maintain a cash reserve account for the benefit of holders of the Secured Notes, and adds a covenant that we maintain a minimum liquidity of at least $8.0 million, comprised of cash and certain other eligible investments, as of the end of each fiscal quarter. See Note 3 to the financial statements for additional information.

Cash Flows for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

We spent $1.1 million on purchases of property and equipment in the six month period ended September 30, 2022, which was mainly related to purchasing MosaiQ instruments and investments in our IT infrastructure.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $43.0 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2021. We spent $1.7 million on purchases of property and equipment in the six month period ended September 30, 2021, which was mainly related to purchasing MosaiQ instruments and investments in our IT infrastructure. We also received distributions on our short-term money market investments of $29.7 million from CSAM in the six month period ended September 30, 2021, received $19.5 million from selling other short term investments and invested $4.5 million in other short-term money market investments.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements

We have not achieved profitability on an annual basis since we commenced operations in 2007 and we expect our operating losses to continue for at least the remainder of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. As we launch MosaiQ in the donor testing market, we expect our operating expenses during the year ended March 31, 2023 to be similar to those of the year ended March 31, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $41.4 million of available cash, cash equivalents, and investments and $0.8 million of restricted cash held as part of the arrangements relating to our Secured Notes and the lease of our properties in Eysins, Switzerland.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

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

For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Note 1, "Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022. For a detailed description of our significant judgements and estimates, see "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We did not adopt any other new accounting pronouncements during the six month period ended September 30, 2022 that had a significant effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Item 3. Reserved

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is

- 26 -

recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently party to any pending legal or governmental proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. However, we may be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our cash resources have been depleted and our ability to continue as a going concern is in doubt.

As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $41.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments, which amount includes approximately $16.9 million of cash invested in two funds that have suspended redemptions, and there can be no assurance that we will receive any future distributions of cash from these funds. Recent developments have called into question our ability to execute successfully on our business strategy and indeed on our ability to continue as a going concern. Adverse conditions in the U.S. and global capital markets made our pursuit of the additional capital that we require for our business strategy very difficult. We have been unable to raise additional capital in the amounts we require. We are now close to running out of cash and being forced to cease operations and liquidate our MosaiQ business.

We have continued to hold discussions with various parties about alternative means of obtaining access to the funding that we now urgently need. There is no assurance that these negotiations will result in definitive agreements or in our receipt of funding, and any such agreements will be subject to a number of conditions, some of which will likely be outside of our control. If we are unable to reach definitive agreements and consummate a funding in the next few weeks, we may be required to shut down and liquidate our MosaiQ business or, possibly, to seek protection under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

We expect that we will either complete a debt restructuring or commence an insolvency proceeding and in either case, our outstanding ordinary and preferred shares and ordinary share equivalents likely will be cancelled for no consideration or effectively extinguished through dilution

While the details of the potential funding arrangements being discussed with noteholders have yet to be finalized, at present we expect that when these arrangements are implemented, all of our outstanding ordinary and preferred shares and all outstanding options and warrants to acquire ordinary shares likely will be cancelled for no consideration or effectively extinguished through dilution.

We may not be able to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our shareholders.

On May 24, 2022, we announced that that we received written notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that on May 20, 2022, the average closing price of our ordinary shares over the prior 30 consecutive trading days had fallen below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum average closing price required to maintain listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Requirement"). To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our ordinary shares must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the initial compliance period which ends on November 16, 2022. On November 2, 2022, we implemented a reverse split of our ordinary shares in an effort to increase the price of our shares above $1.00 and satisfy the Bid Price Requirement.

On August 9, 2022, we received a notice from Nasdaq notifying us that we also are not in compliance with the market value of listed securities requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “MVLS Requirement”). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) requires a company’s listed securities to maintain a minimum market value of at least $50 million, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) provides that a failure to meet such requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) we have 180 calendar days, or until February 6, 2023, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.

We intend to monitor both the bid price and the market value of our ordinary shares and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with each of the Bid Price Requirement and the MVLS requirement and remain listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. If the Company is unable to satisfy either requirement prior to the respective compliance dates, we expect that Nasdaq will notify us that our ordinary shares are subject to delisting, at which point we may appeal the delisting determination.

- 27 -

There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with either the Bid Price Requirement or the MVLS Requirement or maintain compliance with any other listing requirements. The de-listing of our ordinary shares from the Nasdaq Global Select Market could negatively impact us by (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our ordinary shares; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our ordinary shares, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) impacting our ability to access the public capital markets; (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees; and (v) triggering certain rights of the holders of our Convertible Notes.

Other than those disclosed above, there have been no other material changes in the risk factors described in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022.
