MODULAR
MEDICAL, INC.
F/K/A BEAR LAKE RECREATION, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Modular Medical, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Nevada in October 1998 under the name Bear Lake Recreation, Inc. The Company had no material business operations from 2002 until approximately 2017 when it acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Quasuras, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Quasuras). As the major shareholder of Quasuras retained control of both the Company and Quasuras, the share exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger. As such, the Company recognized the assets and liabilities of Quasuras acquired in the merger, at their historical carrying amounts. Prior to the acquisition of Quasuras and since at least 2002, the Company was a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). In June 2017, the Company changed its name from Bear Lake Recreation, Inc. to Modular Medical, Inc.
The Company is a development-stage, medical-device company focused on the design, development, and commercialization of an innovative insulin pump using modernized technology to increase pump adoption in the diabetes marketplace. Through the creation of a novel two-part, patch pump product, the Company seeks to fundamentally alter the trade-offs between cost and complexity and access to the higher standards of care that presently available insulin pumps provide. By simplifying and streamlining the user experience from introduction, prescription, reimbursement, training and day-to-day use, the Company seeks to expand the wearable insulin delivery device market beyond the highly motivated “super users” and expand the category into the mass market. The Company’s pump product seeks to serve both the type 1 and type 2 diabetes markets.
Liquidity
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-15 (ASU 2014-15), Going Concern, requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management must consider if there are plans that are probable to be implemented, and whether it is probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events raising the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the substantial doubt is not alleviated after consideration of management’s plans, the entity must include a statement in the notes to the financial statements indicating that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued including: 1) the principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, 2) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations, and 3) management’s plans to attempt to mitigate the conditions or events causing the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future and incur cash outflows from operations as it continues to invest in the development and subsequent commercialization of its product. The Company expects that its research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase, and, as a result, it will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. The Company’s expected operating losses and cash burn and the need to repay the convertible promissory notes and accrued interest in the first half of 2022 raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. Implementation of the Company’s plans and its ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support its future operations. There can be no assurance that such additional capital, whether in the form of debt or equity financing, will be sufficient or available and, if available, that such capital will be offered on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company. As disclosed in note 9, the Company recently sold shares of its common stock to two of its officers, obtained access to a credit facility and filed a registration statement to offer shares of its common stock. The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to repay its convertible promissory notes (if not converted), fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its product, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product offering. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

Basis of Presentation
The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31 of each calendar year. Each reference to a fiscal year in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements refers to the fiscal year ended March 31 of the calendar year indicated (for example, fiscal 2022 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Quasuras. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with these rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to summarize fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2022 or for any other future period.
Reverse Stock Split
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates may include those pertaining to accruals, stock-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reportable Segment
The Company
operates in
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development expenditures as incurred.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and benefit costs, rent, stock-based compensation, legal and accounting fees, and office and other administrative expenses.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains its cash balances at high-quality financial institutions within the United States, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to limits of approximately $250,000. No reserve has been made in the financial statements for any possible loss due to financial institution failure.
| 7 |
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks from, among other things, competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, limited operating history and the volatility of public markets.
COVID-19
The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government in March 2020. This has negatively affected the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, significantly restricted travel and transportation, resulted in mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. The full extent of the COVID-19 impact on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by U.S. and foreign government agencies to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain, out of the Company’s control, and cannot be predicted.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in demand deposits, certificates of deposit and highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Property & Equipment
Property and equipment are originally recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation is recorded in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired through capital leases are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the lease term, and amortization is recorded in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
| · | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| · | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| · | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value.
| 8 |
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. For the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, outstanding options to purchase and shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flows.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss represents the changes in equity of an enterprise, other than those resulting from stockholder transactions. Accordingly, comprehensive loss may include certain changes in equity that are excluded from net loss. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s comprehensive loss was the same as its net loss.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 effective April 1, 2021, and the impact of the adoption was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – LEASES
Effective April
1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), and related ASUs, as amended, using the alternative
transition method, which allowed the Company to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date (the “effective
date method”). In January 2020, the Company executed a lease for a new, larger corporate facility in San Diego, California
and paid a $100,000 security deposit. The 39-month lease
term commenced April 1, 2020, and the lease provides for an initial monthly rent of approximately $

NOTE 3 – PPP NOTE
On April
24, 2020, the Company received a $
The Company applied to the Lender for forgiveness of the PPP Note in October 2020, and, in May 2021, the Company was notified by the Lender and the U.S. Small Business Administration that the outstanding principal and accrued interest for the PPP Note was forgiven in full. The Company accounted for the forgiveness of the PPP Note in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 470: Debt (ASC 470), and the amount forgiven was recorded as a gain on extinguishment and recognized in the other income line of the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
From
February through April 2021, the Company sold $2,310,000 of convertible promissory notes (each an Original Notes and, collectively,
the Original Notes), at par in a private placement transaction effected pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Effective April 30, 2021, pursuant to a revocation and replacement agreement between
each holder of an Original Note and the Company (the Revocation Agreement), the $2,310,000 of Original Notes and accrued interest
thereon as of April 30, 2021 were replaced with $2,360,550 aggregate principal amount of new Notes (as defined below). The Company
accounted for the replacement of the Original Notes in accordance with ASC 470 and recorded a loss on extinguishment of $
In April
and May 2021, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and each investor (the SPA), the Company
sold to investors $
Notes outstanding after the Trigger Date may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $8.61 per share; provided that a Note holder may not convert any portion of its Note that would cause it to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The conversion price and number of shares of Company common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes are subject to adjustment from time to time for subdivisions and consolidations of shares and other standard dilutive and corporate events, as provided in the Notes. Subject to certain Exempt Issuances (as defined in the Notes), if while a Note is outstanding, the Company sells, issues or grants any shares of its common stock or other securities to acquire shares of common stock at a price per share less than the then conversion price, such conversion price shall be reduced to such lesser price, and the number of conversion shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes shall be increased, as provided in the Notes.
If the Company completes an offering of its common stock or other securities in excess of $12,000,000 of gross proceeds (a Qualified Capital Raise, as defined in the Notes), each Note holder will be required to convert its Adjusted Note Amount (as defined below) into the securities of such Qualified Capital Raise. Adjusted Note Amount equals the product of (i) the sum of all outstanding principal plus accrued interest on a Note, multiplied by (ii) 1.25.
The Notes contain a number of Company events of default (Events of Default) including, without limitation (i) failure to pay any principal or interest thereon when due, (ii) failure to timely deliver shares upon conversions, (iii) failure to comply with SEC reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, (iv) certain breaches of the SPA, the Notes, the Warrants, and the Registration Rights Agreement, (v) material restatements of the Company’s consolidated financial statements filed with the SEC, (vi) a holder’s inability to rely on Rule 144 for sales of shares underlying the Notes, (vii) the Company’s common stock is suspended or halted from trading and/or fails to be quoted or listed (as applicable) on the OTCQB, OTCQX, any tier of the NASDAQ Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE American within 10 days thereafter, (viii) failure to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants within 60 calendar days following the Issue Date, (ix) failure to cause such registration statement to become effective within 120 calendar days following the Issue Date, or (x) certain mergers consolidations, business combinations and sales of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in the event the Company is not the survivor of such transaction.
| 10 |
Upon an Event of Default, a Note holder may declare all amounts under its Note(s) due and payable, in which event the Company will be required to pay such Note holder the sum of (i) the product of (a) all then outstanding principal amount and accrued interest thereon, multiplied by (b) 125%; and (ii) all collection costs including legal fees and expenses in connection therewith. At the option of a Note holder, in the event the Company receives cash proceeds as a result of certain events, including, but not limited to, payments from customers, issuances of debt or equity securities, exercise of warrants or asset sales, the Company will be required to use such proceeds to repay all or any lesser outstanding amounts due under such holder’s Note.
The Notes include covenants, representations, warranties, other payment obligations and agreements by the Company including, without limitation, most-favored nation rights, rights of participation and first refusal and exchange rights.
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company issued Warrants to purchase in the aggregate 767,796 shares of its common stock at an initial exercise price of $24.00 per share. The Warrants may be exercised for a period of five years from the Trigger Date, provided that, if prior to the Trigger Date, the Company (i) completes a Qualified Capital Raise, the outstanding Warrants shall be cancelled or (ii) prepays a holder’s Note(s) in whole or in part, such holder’s pro-rata number of Warrants shall be cancelled. The fair value of the Warrants was $3,700,632, of which $2,379,182 was recorded as a debt discount, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Warrants, and $1,321,450 was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment. The Company calculated the fair value of the Warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: volatility of , risk-free interest rate of , a term of years and a dividend yield of .
In connection with the April and May 2021 sales of the $4,250,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $116,000, which were recorded as a debt discount and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest rate method. The interest expense attributable to the debt discount, comprising the debt issuance costs and Warrants, during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 was $630,323 and $1,454,762, respectively.
The $6,610,550
aggregate principal amount of Notes are due and payable in full in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Subsequent to the Trigger
Date, the Notes can be converted into
NOTE 5 – PROMISSORY NOTE
On
October 28, 2021, the Company issued a secured promissory note (the Bridge Note) to Manchester Explorer, L.P. (“Manchester”)
that provides the Company with a $
The principal amount of the Bridge Note and interest due thereon is payable to Manchester no later than the earlier of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date on which the Company has received proceeds in excess of $12,000,000 from a transaction or series of related transactions occurring prior to the Maturity Date, which such transactions constitute equity financings or other issuances of the Company’s equity securities. Provided that no Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Bridge Note) has occurred, on any date prior to the Maturity Date, upon no less than three days written notice by the Company specifying the draw amount, Manchester will advance the draw amount to the Company. No draw amount can be in an amount less than $100,000 or exceed an amount equal to $3,000,000 minus the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Bridge Note at the time of such draw request. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Manchester may declare all of the Bridge Note, including any interest and other amounts due, to be due and payable immediately.
| 11 |
In connection with the issuance of the Note, on October 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with Manchester (the “Security Agreement”) under which the Company granted Manchester a continuing and unconditional first priority security interest in and to any and all of the Company’s property of any kind or description, tangible or intangible, wheresoever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired.
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company made draws on the Bridge Note of $
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold 30,865 shares of common stock to its chief executive officer and its chairman of the board of directors, president, chief financial officer and treasurer, issued 8,334 shares of common stock to a service provider and issued 5,775 shares to its non-employee directors under the Company’s outside director compensation plan. At December 31, 2021, the Company had an obligation to issue 16,666 shares of common stock to service providers, and the value of these shares was recorded as common stock issuable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Amended 2017 Equity Incentive Plan
In October 2017, the Company’s board of directors (the Board) approved the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) with shares of common stock reserved for issuance. In January 2020 and August 2021, the Board approved increases in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan by and shares, respectively. Under the Plan, eligible employees, directors and consultants may be granted a broad range of awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance-based awards and restricted stock units. The Plan is administered by the Board or, in the alternative, a committee designated by the Board.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The expense relating to stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, usually the vesting period, based on the grant date fair value. The unamortized compensation cost, as of December 31, 2021, was $ related to stock options and is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately years.
During
the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company granted options to purchase shares of its common stock to employees,
directors and consultants. The options had 10-year terms, and options vested immediately when granted. The fair value of
the options was determined to be $
The following assumptions were used in the fair value method calculations:

The fair values of options at the grant date were estimated utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model, which includes simplified methods to establish the fair term of options as well as average volatility of three comparable organizations. The risk-free interest rate was derived from the Daily Treasury Yield Curve Rates, as published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury as of the grant date for terms equal to the expected terms of the options. A dividend yield of zero was applied because the Company has never paid dividends and has no intention to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. In accordance with ASU No. 2016-09, the Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

The intrinsic value per share is calculated as the excess of the closing price of the common stock on the Company’s principal trading market over the exercise price of the option at December 31, 2021.
The Company is required to present the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized from the exercise of stock options as financing cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. For the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no such tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options.
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
The Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the Company expects the differences to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established for any deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the available information and other factors, management believes it is more likely than not that its federal and state net deferred tax assets will not be fully realized, and the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance.
The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. All tax returns for fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2021 may be subject to examination by the U.S. federal and state tax authorities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not recorded any liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigations, Claims and Assessments
In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as incurred and accrues for all probable and estimable settlements.
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it may agree to indemnify the counterparties from any losses incurred relating to breach of representations and warranties, failure to perform certain covenants, or claims and losses arising from certain events as outlined within the particular contract, which may include, for example, losses arising from litigation or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification clauses may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors. No amounts were reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 related to these indemnifications. The Company has not estimated the maximum potential amount of indemnification liability under these agreements due to the limited history of prior claims and the unique facts and circumstances applicable to each particular agreement. To date, the Company has not made any payments related to these indemnification agreements, and no claims for payment have been made under such agreements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this Report). This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which include, without limitation, statements about the market for our technology, our strategy, competition, expected financial performance and capital raising efforts, and other aspects of our business identified in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and in other reports that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any statements about our business, financial results, financial condition and operations contained in this Report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the risk factors described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors including, without limitation, the direct and indirect effects of coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, and related issues that may arise therefrom. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Report and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.
Our fiscal year ends on March 31 of each calendar year. Each reference to a fiscal year in this Report, refers to the fiscal year ended March 31 of the calendar year indicated (for example, fiscal 2022 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022). Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Modular Medical, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary.
Company Overview
We are a development stage medical device company focused on the design, development, and commercialization of an innovative insulin pump using modernized technology to increase pump adoption in the diabetes marketplace. Through the creation of a novel two-part patch pump, our MODD1 product, the Company seeks to fundamentally alter the trade-offs between cost and complexity and access to the higher standards of care that presently-available insulin pumps provide. By simplifying and streamlining the user experience from introduction, prescription, reimbursement, training and day-to-day use, we seek to expand the wearable insulin delivery device market beyond the highly motivated “super users” and expand the category into the mass market. The product seeks to serve both the type 1 and the rapidly growing, especially in terms of device adoption, type 2 diabetes markets.
Historically, we have financed our operations principally through private placements of our common stock and convertible promissory notes. Based on our current operating plan, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date that the financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report are issued exists. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to raise additional capital, through the sale of equity or debt securities, to support our future operations. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we will be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs. We have provided additional disclosure in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report and under Liquidity below.

Impacts of COVID-19
The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government in March 2020. This has negatively affected the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, significantly restricted travel and transportation, resulted in mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. The full extent of the COVID-19 impact on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including, without limitation, the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by U.S. and foreign government agencies to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain, out of our control, and cannot be predicted.
In March 2020, Santa Diego County in California, where we are based, and the state of California issued “shelter-in-place” orders (the Orders). We complied with the Orders and minimized business activities at our San Diego facility from March 2020 until May 2021. During that time, we implemented a teleworking policy for our employees and contractors to reduce on-site activity at our facility. In May 2021, our employees and certain contractors returned to work in our office. We have and continue to experience longer lead times for certain components used to manufacture initial quantities of our products for our submission to the FDA. We remain diligent in continuing to identify and manage risks to our business given the changing uncertainties related to COVID-19. While we believe that our operations personnel are currently in a position to build an adequate supply of products for our FDA submission, we recognize that unpredictable events could create difficulties in the months ahead. We may not be able to address these difficulties in a timely manner, which could delay our submission to the FDA and negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets. We were recently able to raise additional capital in a private placement of convertible promissory notes (see discussion below under Liquidity). However, we need to raise additional capital to support our operations in the future. We may be unable to access the capital markets or additional capital may only be available to us on terms that could be significantly detrimental to our existing stockholders and holders of the convertible promissory notes and to our business.
For additional information on risks that could impact our future results, please refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we make these estimates based on our historical experience and on assumptions that we consider reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and reported results could differ under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates.

Our research and development expenses include personnel, consulting, materials and other costs associated with the development of our insulin pump product. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred.
Research and development, or R&D, expenses increased for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared with the prior period of fiscal 2021 primarily due to increased engineering and manufacturing consulting costs, as we have increased our development and manufacturing activities. R&D expenses increased for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 as compared with the prior period of fiscal 2021 primarily due to increased engineering and manufacturing personnel and consulting costs, protype and production component and material costs and stock-based compensation expenses. R&D expenses included non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses of $204,962 and $96,127 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $459,989 and $301,767 for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We expect R&D expenses to remain flat for the remainder of fiscal 2022, as we continue to advance the development of our pump product and develop an initial low-volume manufacturing process.

General and administrative, or G&A, expenses, increased for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 as compared with the prior periods of fiscal 2021 primarily as a result of increased stock-based compensation expense and increased consulting and legal fees. G&A expenses included stock-based compensation expenses of $1,016,774 and $198,926 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $2,280,098 and $638,607 for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We expect G&A expenses to increase for the remainder of fiscal 2022, as we pursue a public offering of our common stock.

Interest expense consisted of interest expense incurred from our convertible promissory notes, including amortization of debt issuance costs, and our promissory (bridge) note. See Notes 4 and 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report for additional disclosure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a development-stage enterprise, we do not currently have revenues to generate cash flows to cover operating expenses. Since our inception, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows in each year due to costs incurred in connection with R&D activities and G&A expenses associated with our operations. For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we incurred a net loss of approximately $14.1 million. For the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred net losses of approximately $7.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of approximately $0.2 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $29.9 million. When considered with our current operating plan and the requirement to repay the Notes (as defined below) and the draws under the Bridge Note (as defined below) by May 2022, these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date that of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report. Our consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities to support our future operations, and we are currently seeking such additional financing. As discussed in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report, we obtained forgiveness of the $368,000 principal balance and interest on the PPP Note we received from Silicon Valley Bank in April 2020 under the U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program. As discussed in Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report, in May 2021, we completed a private placement of $6,610,500 aggregate principal amount of our convertible promissory notes (the Notes). The Notes are unsecured obligations of ours with each Note having a stated maturity date of 12 months from its issue date (the Issue Date). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable on maturity, provided that, if we fail to pay any amounts when due under a Note, the interest rate increases to the greater of 16% or the maximum amount permitted by law. Each Note may be prepaid at our option during the first 270 calendar days following its Issue Date (the 270th day, the Trigger Date), subject to a 110% prepayment penalty on all principal and accrued interest then outstanding. No Notes may be prepaid in whole or in part after the Trigger Date. As discussed in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report, on October 28, 2021, we sold $250,000 of shares of our common stock to officers, and we issued a secured promissory note (the Bridge Note) to an investor. The Bridge Note provides us with a $3,000,000 revolving credit facility with all amounts being drawn down by the Company thereunder being due and payable, subject to acceleration in the event of a default, on March 15, 2022. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, we drew down $1,500,000 under the Bridge Note.

Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund research and development activities, including clinical studies, working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our product, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product offering. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we will be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash.
For the nine months ended December 30, 2021, we used $7,128,787 in operating activities, which primarily resulted from our net loss of $14,058,155 increased for a non-cash gain on the PPP Note extinguishment of $368,780 and net changes in operating lease assets and liabilities of $34,422, as adjusted for changes to operating assets and liabilities of $1,197,989, a loss on debt extinguishment of $1,321,450 stock-based compensation expenses of $2,740,086, $388,021 for issuances of shares of common stock in exchange for services, $149,994 for issuable shares of common stock in exchange for services, depreciation and amortization expenses of $80,268, and interest expense of $1,454,762 for amortization of debt discount. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020, we used $4,570,713 in operating activities, which primarily resulted from our net loss of $5,605,431 and changes to operating assets and liabilities of $107,758, as adjusted for stock-based compensation expenses of $940,374, depreciation and amortization expenses of $82,016, net changes in lease assets and liabilities of $120,085.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, cash used in investing activities of $22,779 and $109,541, respectively was due to the purchase of property and equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities of $6,037,199 for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 primarily attributable to net proceeds from the issuance of our Notes of $5,637,199 and net proceeds of $250,000 from the sale of shares of common stock to officers of the Company. Cash provided by financing activities of $2,154,662 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 was attributable to net proceeds of $1,785,882 from the sale of shares of our common stock in a private placement that was initiated in March 2020 and $368,780 in proceeds from the PPP Note.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not required.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We face many significant risks in our business, some of which are unknown to us and not presently foreseen. These risks could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future. We disclosed a number of material risks under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021, which we filed with the SEC on June 29, 2021.
The full effects of COVID-19 and other potential future public health crises, epidemics, pandemics or similar events are uncertain and could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government in March 2020. This has negatively affected the world economy, disrupted global supply chains, significantly restricted travel and transportation, resulted in mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. The extent of the impact on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by U.S. and foreign government agencies to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain, out of our control and cannot be predicted.
We have been complying with county and state orders and, until May 2021, had implemented a teleworking policy for our employees and contractors and significantly minimized the number of employees who visit our office. However, a facility closure, work slowdowns or temporary stoppage at one of our manufacturing suppliers could occur, which could have a longer-term impact and could delay our prototype production and ability to conduct business. If our workforce is unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, absenteeism, government actions, facility closures, travel restrictions or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations will be negatively impacted. We may be unable to develop our product, and our costs may increase as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The impacts could worsen if there is an extended duration of any COVID-19 outbreak or a resurgence of COVID-19 infection in affected regions after they have begun to experience improvement.
We rely on other companies to provide components and to perform services for us. An extended period of supply chain disruption caused by the response to COVID-19 could impact our ability to produce our initial product quantities, and, if we are not able to implement alternatives or other mitigations, product deliveries would be adversely impacted and negatively impact our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Limitations on government operations can also impact regulatory approvals that are necessary for us to operate our business.
The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets. We were recently able to raise additional capital in a private placement of convertible promissory notes, however, we will need to raise additional capital to support our operations in the future. We may be unable to access the capital markets, and additional capital may only be available to us on terms that could be significantly detrimental to our existing stockholders and to our business.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On December 31, 2021, we issued a total of 5,775 shares of our common stock to three of our non-employee directors in accordance with our outside director compensation plan.
