Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K” or “Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 29, 2024. The year-end consolidated condensed balance sheets data as at December 31, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, UBS, UBS LLC, HRL and UBS BV. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated condensed financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the adequacy of the provision for expected credit losses, deferred income taxes, research and development tax incentive income, impairment of definite-lived intangible assets and stock-based compensation expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements           

The Company assesses the adoption impacts of recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on the Company's financial statements as well as material updates to previous assessments, if any, from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

(a) Recent issued accounting standards not yet adopted

Nil

(b) Recent adopted accounting standards

ASU No. 2023-09, “Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures”

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.

On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted the new accounting pronouncement ASU No. 2023-09. The adoption of ASU No. 2023-09 did not have any impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements or results of operations.

ASU No. 2023-07 “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable investors to better understand an entity's overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025, and should be applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. For entities other than public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025.

On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted the new accounting pronouncement ASU No. 2023-07. The adoption of ASU No. 2023-07 did not have any impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements or results of operations.

Net Profit/(Loss) per Share and Anti-dilutive Securities

Basic and diluted net profit/(loss) per share is presented in conformity with ASC 260 – Earnings per Share. Basic and diluted net profit/(loss) per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net profit/(loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the basic net profit/(loss) per share by assuming all dilutive potential ordinary shares are converted.

Foreign Currency

Functional and Reporting Currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The functional currency of UBI and UBS is A$ for all years presented. The functional currencies of UBS LLC, HRL and UBS BV are US$, CAD$ and €, respectively, for all years presented.

The consolidated condensed financial statements are presented using a reporting currency of A$.

Transactions and Balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income/(loss).

The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the reporting currency are translated into the reporting currency as follows:

● assets and liabilities for each balance sheet item reported are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

● income and expenses for each income statement item reported are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

● all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are taken to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of all current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value because of their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of all other amounts has been determined, depending on the nature and complexity of the assets or the liability, by using one or all of the following approaches:

● Market approach – based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

● Cost approach – based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets less an allowance for functional and/or economic obsolescence.

● Income approach – based on the present value of a future stream of net cash flows.

These fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:

● Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs).

● Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable (Level 2 inputs).

● Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs).

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable consist of financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk to the extent of the amount recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are primarily invested with one of Australia’s largest banks. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the banks holding the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to the extent of the amount recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. In relation to receivables the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. The provision for expected credit losses is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience as well as consideration of current economic conditions and changes in our customer collection trends.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

The Company maintains cash and restricted cash, which includes collateral for facilities.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to dispose. Inventories are principally determined under the average cost method which approximates cost. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. The Company recognizes inventory on the consolidated condensed balance sheets when they have concluded that the substantial risks and rewards of ownership, as well as the control of the asset, have been transferred.

Receivables

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable and records a provision for expected credit losses based on factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and the Company’s historical experience. The expense to adjust the provision for expected credit losses, if any, is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income/(loss). Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

Prepayments

Prepaid expenses represent expenditures that have not yet been recorded by the Company as an expense but have been paid for in advance. The Company’s prepayments are primarily represented by insurance premiums paid annually in advance.

Other Current Assets

The Company’s other current assets are primarily represented by sundry receivables.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful life of machinery and equipment is three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the asset are charged to operations as incurred and include normal services and do not include items of a capital nature.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Accordingly, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value amount over the fair value of the asset.

Australian Goods and Services Tax, Canadian Harmonized Sales Tax, US Sales Tax and European Value Added Tax, collectively “Sales Tax”

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of associated Sales Tax, unless the Sales Tax incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of Sales Tax receivable or payable. The net amount of Sales Tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other current assets or accrued expenses in the consolidated condensed balance sheets dependent on whether the balance owed to the taxation authorities is in a net receivable or payable position.

Leases

At contract inception, the Company determines if the new contractual arrangement is a lease or contains a leasing arrangement. If a contract contains a lease, the Company evaluates whether it should be classified as an operating or a finance lease. Upon modification of the contract, the Company will reassess to determine if a contract is or contains a leasing arrangement.

The Company records lease liabilities based on the future estimated cash payments discounted over the lease term, defined as the non-cancellable time period of the lease, together with all the following:

● periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option; and

● periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise the termination option.

Leases may also include options to terminate the arrangement or options to purchase the underlying lease property. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. Lease components provide the Company with the right to use an identified asset, which consist of the Company’s real estate properties and office equipment. Non-lease components consist primarily of maintenance services.

As an implicit discount rate is not readily determinable in the Company’s lease agreements, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. For certain leases with original terms of twelve months or less, the Company recognizes lease expense as incurred and does not recognize any lease liabilities. Short-term and long-term portions of operating and finance lease liabilities are classified as lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets.

A right-of-use (“ROU”) asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability with adjustments, if applicable, for lease incentives, initial direct costs incurred by the Company and lease prepayments made prior to or at lease commencement. ROU assets are classified as operating or finance lease right-of-use assets, net of accumulated amortization, on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company evaluates the carrying value of ROU assets if there are indicators of potential impairment and performs the analysis concurrent with the review of the recoverability of the related asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group is determined to not be fully recoverable and is in excess of its estimated fair value, the Company will record an impairment loss in its consolidated condensed statements of income and comprehensive income/(loss).

Lease payments may be fixed or variable, however, only fixed payments or in-substance fixed payments are included in the Company’s lease liability calculation. Variable lease payments are recognized in operating expenses in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) are legal obligations associated with the retirement and removal of long-lived assets. ASC 410 – Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation when it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the Company capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying amounts of the related property, plant and equipment. Over time, the liability increases for the change in its present value, while the capitalized cost depreciates over the useful life of the asset. The Company derecognizes ARO liabilities when the related obligations are settled.

The ARO is in relation to our premises where in accordance with the terms of the lease, the lessee has to restore part of the building upon vacating the premises.

Revenue Recognition

The Group recognizes revenue predominantly from the sale of analyzers and test strips and the provision of laboratory testing services based on the provisions of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In accordance with this provision, to determine whether to recognize revenue, the Group follows a five-step process:

a) Identifying the contract with a customer;

b) Identifying the performance obligations within the customer contract;

c) Determining the transaction price;

d) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation; and

e) Recognizing revenue when/as performance obligations are satisfied.

Nature of goods and services

The following is a description of products and services from which the Company generates its revenue.

Products and services	Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms
Coagulation testing products (“Xprecia”)	Our point-of-care coagulation testing products use electrochemical cell technology to measure Prothrombin Time (PT/INR), a test used to monitor the effect of the anticoagulant therapy warfarin. The performance obligation for the sale of these products is satisfied at a point-in-time when the Company transfers control of the products to its customer. The point of transfer of control of the products is dictated by individual terms contained within a customer agreement, as are the payment terms. The transaction price is fixed.
Laboratory testing services	HRL provides non-diagnostic laboratory services and performs these services on behalf of customers. The performance obligation for the services is satisfied when the testing has been finalized and results have been reported to the customer. In some cases, the performance obligations will be satisfied as predetermined milestones have been achieved by the Company.
Wine testing products (“Sentia”)	Our Sentia wine analyzer is used to measure Free SO₂, Malic Acid, Glucose, Fructose, Total Sugar, Acetic Acid and Titratable Acidity levels in wine. The performance obligation for the sale of this product is satisfied at a point-in-time when the Company transfers control of the products to its customer. The point of transfer of control of the products is dictated by the individual terms contained within a customer agreement, as are the individual payment terms. The transaction price is fixed.
Veterinary diabetes product (“Petrackr”)	Our veterinary blood glucose product, Petrackr, is a blood glucose monitoring product for dogs and cats with diabetes. The performance obligation for the sale of this product is satisfied at a point-in-time when the Company transfers control of the products to its customer. The point of transfer of control of the products is dictated by the individual terms contained within a customer agreement, as are the individual payment terms. The transaction price is fixed.

See Note 8 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a disaggregation of revenue.

Interest Income

Interest income is recognized as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield and consists of interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in interest-bearing accounts.

Research and Development Tax Incentive Income         

Research and development tax incentive income is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the income will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the consideration can be reliably measured.

10

Universal Biosensors, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The research and development tax incentive is one of the key elements of the Australian Government’s support for Australia’s innovation system and is supported by legislative law primarily in the form of the Australian Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 as long as eligibility criteria are met. Subject to meeting a number of conditions, an entity involved in eligible research and development (“R&D”) activities may claim research and development tax incentive income as follows:

(1) as a 43.5% refundable tax offset if aggregate turnover (which generally means an entity’s total income that it derives in the ordinary course of carrying on a business, subject to certain exclusions) of the entity is less than A$20,000,000, or

(2) as a 38.5% non-refundable tax offset if aggregate turnover of the entity is more than A$20,000,000.

In accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Article 5-03, the Company’s research and development tax incentive income has been recognized as non-operating income as it is not indicative of the core operating activities or revenue producing goals of the Company.

Management has assessed the Company’s R&D activities and expenditures to determine which activities and expenditures are likely to be eligible under the tax incentive regime described above. At each period end management estimates the refundable tax offset available to the Company based on available information at the time. This estimate is also reviewed by external tax advisors on an annual basis.

The Company has recorded research and development tax incentive income of A$580,026 and A$694,374 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2024 there is reasonable assurance that the aggregate turnover of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 will not exceed A$20,000,000.

Research and Development Expenditure

R&D expenses consist of costs incurred to further the Company’s research and product development activities and include salaries and related employee benefits, costs associated with clinical trial and preclinical development, regulatory activities, research-related overhead expenses, costs associated with the manufacture of clinical trial material, costs associated with developing a commercial manufacturing process, costs for consultants and related contract research, facility costs and depreciation. R&D costs are expensed as incurred as they fall in the scope of ASC 730 ‘Research and Development’.

Clinical Trial Expenses

Clinical trial costs are a component of R&D expenses. These expenses include fees paid to participating hospitals and other service providers, which conduct certain testing activities on behalf of the Company. Depending on the timing of payments to the service providers and the level of service provided, the Company records prepaid or accrued expenses relating to these costs.

Stock-based Compensation

We measure stock-based compensation at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognize the cost as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Trinomial Lattice model.

We record deferred tax assets for awards that will result in deductions on our income tax returns, based on the amount of compensation cost recognized and our statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which we will receive a deduction. Differences between the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and the actual tax deduction reported in our income tax return are recorded in expense or in capital in excess of par value if the tax deduction exceeds the deferred tax assets or to the extent that previously recognized credits to paid-in-capital are still available if the tax deduction is less than the deferred tax asset.

Employee Benefit Costs

The Company contributes a portion of each employee’s salary to standard defined contribution superannuation funds on behalf of all eligible UBS employees in line with legislative requirements. The contribution rate increased from 10.5% to 11.0% for the period commencing July 1, 2023 and increased to 11.5% on July 1, 2024. Superannuation is an Australian compulsory savings program plan for retirement whereby employers are required to pay a portion of an employee’s remuneration to an approved superannuation fund that the employee is typically not able to access until they have reached the statutory retirement age. Whilst the Company has a third-party default superannuation fund, it permits UBS employees to choose an approved and registered superannuation fund into which the contributions are paid. Contributions are charged to the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income/(loss) as the expense is incurred.

Registered Retirement Savings Plan and Deferred Sharing Profit Plan

The Company provides eligible HRL employees with a retirement plan. The retirement plan includes a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (“RRSP”) and Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (“DPSP”). The RRSP is voluntary and the employee contributions are matched by the Company up to a maximum of 5% based on their continuous years of service and placed into the RRSP. The Company contributes 1% to 2% of the employee’s base earnings towards the DPSP. The DPSP contributions are vested immediately.

Benefit Plan

The Company provides eligible HRL employees a Benefit Plan. In general, the Benefit Plan includes extended health care, dental care, basic life insurance, basic accidental death and dismemberment and disability insurance.

401k Plan

The Company acts as a plan sponsor for a 401K plan for eligible UBS LLC employees. A 401K plan is a US-based defined-contribution pension account into which the employees can elect to have a percentage of their salary deducted and contributed to the plan.  Their contributions are matched by the Company up to a maximum of 10% of their salary. 

Employee Entitlements Liabilities

Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long-service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and the United States. The Company applies ASC 740 - Income Taxes which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from a Company’s activities during the current and preceding years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Where it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, the deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Pursuant to the U.S. tax reform rules, UBI is subject to regulations addressing Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"). The GILTI rules are provisions of the U.S. tax code enacted as a part of tax reform legislation in the U.S. passed in December 2017. Mechanically, the GILTI rule functions as a global minimum tax for all U.S. shareholders of controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) and applies broadly to certain income generated by a CFC. The Company can make an accounting policy election to either: (1) treat GILTI as a period cost if and when incurred; or (2) recognize deferred taxes for basis differences that are expected to reverse as GILTI in future years. The Company has elected to treat GILTI as a period cost.  

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

11. Related Party Transactions

Details of related party transactions material to the operations of the Group other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances and other similar items in the ordinary course of business, are set out below:

On May 8, 2024, the Company announced that a fully underwritten non-renounceable rights issue of new CHESS depositary interests over fully paid ordinary shares in UBI (“New CDIs”) raised A$10 million (“Entitlement Offer”) at a ratio of 1 New CDI for approximately every 3.47 existing CDIs held at the record date, being April 16, 2024. In addition, participants in the Entitlement Offer received one attaching option to acquire CDIs for each New CDI acquired under the Entitlement Offer at an exercise price of A$0.20 (“Options”). The Options vested upon issue, expire 3 years from the date of issue, are exercisable in multiple tranches and each entitle the option holder to 1 CDI upon exercise (subject to any adjustments for reconstructions or bonus issues in accordance with the Listing Rules).

In connection with the Entitlement Offer, the Company received a binding commitment from the Underwriter, Viburnum Funds Pty Ltd (“Viburnum”) to fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer. Following the close of the Entitlement Offer, 29,289,424 New CDIs and Options were issued to Viburnum.

Sentia strip sales increased by 17% and 26% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the previous financial year but our overall Sentia revenue declined by 4% and 8% during the same periods primarily as a result of large stocking orders placed for devices during H1 2023. Sentia sales have also been affected by a software issue in Q2 2024. This issue is being rectified and is expected to be resolved in early Q3 2024. Revenue from Petrackr for the respective periods has declined as large stocking orders were placed initially upon its launch in May 2023.

Revenue from Services

The financial results of the laboratory testing services we provided during the respective periods are as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
	A$			A$			A$			A$
Depreciation		187,986			244,194			398,784			461,193

		222,609			240,706			475,707			458,929

Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of property, plant and equipment. Decrease in depreciation over the respective periods is as a result of certain assets fully depreciated.

Amortization expense for the 2024 financial year represents the Company’s software. Increase in amortization expense is as a result of certain software costs which were still in development during the 2023 financial year and were not amortized have since been completed and subject to amortization during 2024.

Research and Development Expenses

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
	A$		A$		A$		A$
Research and development expenses		1,720,116		1,303,502		1,974,333		3,157,965

Our research and development (“R&D”) expenditure declined by 37% during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the previous financial year. R&D expenditure increased by 32% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the previous financial year. The primary focus of the R&D activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 were:

● activities undertaken to support Xprecia Prime’s submission to the FDA. FDA 510(k) and CLIA Waiver approval for the Xprecia Prime device was received in March 2024

● developing Sentia Alcohol and further enhancement of certain Sentia tests that has already been launched

● completing proof of concept for detecting heavy metals and other impurities in water

● developing the Company’s Oncology platform biosensors used for the detection, staging and monitoring of cancer

● developing the Company’s Aptamer based sensing platform including COVID-19 and female fertility testing

Research is focused on demonstrating technical feasibility of new technology applications and generally does not incur a large amount of expenses. Development activity is focused on turning these technology platforms into commercial-ready products and represents the majority of the Company’s research and development expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a number of projects in the development phase which included Xprecia Prime (FDA submission made in March 2023), Petrackr (launched in May 2023) and certain Sentia tests (we finalized the development of and launched the Sentia Fructose and Acetic Acid tests in Q1 2023 and the Titratable Acidity test was launched in April 2023) hence the higher R&D expenses in 2023 compared to 2024 wherein most of the projects are in the research phase.

The timing and cost of any development program is dependent upon a number of factors including achieving technical objectives, which are inherently uncertain and subsequent regulatory approvals. We have project plans in place for all our development programs which we use to plan, manage and assess our projects. As part of this procedure, we also undertake commercial assessments of such projects to optimize outcomes and decision making.

R&D expenses consist of costs associated with research activities, as well as costs associated with our product development efforts, including pilot manufacturing costs. R&D expenses include:

● consultant and employee related expenses, which include consulting fees, salaries and benefits;

● materials and consumables acquired for the research and development activities;

● verification and validation work on the various R&D projects including clinical trials;

● external research and development expenses incurred under agreements with third party organizations and universities; and

● facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, depreciation of leasehold improvements and equipment and laboratory and other supplies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
	A$		A$		A$		A$
Selling, general and administrative		3,715,972		3,715,361		7,741,354		7,036,666

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation expense for certain personnel. Other selling, general and administrative expenses include sales and marketing costs to support our products in the market, shipping and handling costs incurred when fulfilling customer orders, repairs and maintenance, insurance, facility costs not otherwise included in R&D expenses, consultancy fees and professional fees including legal services and maintenance fees incurred for patent applications, audit and taxation services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses remained flat for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the previous financial year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 10% during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the previous financial year primarily due to an investment in the Company’s sales and marketing efforts during Q1 2024. The Company has now multiple products in the market compared to the same period in the previous financial year and these products were supported by various marketing campaigns and awareness including sales personnel to support our pipeline of products, webinar series and focused direct marketing campaign during Q1 2024.

20

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by 32% and 50% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the previous financial year. The decrease in interest income is attributable to the overall lower amount of funds available for investment throughout 2024.

Interest Expense

Interest expense relates to interest being charged on the secured short-term borrowing initiated by the Company for the 2024 financial year and the interest expense on finance lease liabilities.

Financing Costs

Disclosed in this account is accretion expense which is associated with the Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”). Decrease in financing costs is as a result of change of estimate for the ARO liability.

Research and Development Tax Incentive Income

As at June 30, 2024 there is reasonable likelihood that the aggregate turnover of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2024 will be less than A$20,000,000 and accordingly an estimated A$694,374 has been recorded as research and development tax incentive income for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Included in this is an understatement of research and development tax incentive income of $16,418 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease period on period is driven by the decrease in eligible research and development expenditure incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023.

Research and development tax incentive receivable for the 2023 financial year was received in June 2024.

Exchange Gain/(Loss)

Foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the settlement of foreign currency transactions that are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Other Income

Other income is as follows for the relevant periods:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
	A$		A$		A$		A$
Federal and state government subsidies		0		0		0		20,000
Rental income		36,391		33,476		73,213		66,954
Other income		0		5,110,786		0		5,110,786
Sundry		29,126		13,015		35,056		13,015
		65,517		5,157,277		108,269		5,210,755

Other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 represents the following:

● Previously accrued marketing support payment of A$2,896,764 derecognized

● Previously accrued license fee payable to Siemens of A$2,214,022 derecognized

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include provision for expected credit losses research and development tax incentive income, stock-based compensation expenses and asset retirement obligations:

Provision for Expected Credit Losses

The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable and records a provision for expected credit losses based on factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and the Company’s historical experience.

21

Research and Development Tax Incentive Income

The refundable tax offset is one of the key elements of the Australian Government’s support for Australia’s innovation system and if eligible, provides the recipient with cash based upon its eligible research and development activities and expenditures. The calculation of the refundable tax offset requires judgement as to what is eligible research and development activity and expenditure and the outcome will change if different assumptions were used.

Stock-based Compensation Expenses

Probability of attaining vesting conditions and the fair value of the stock-based compensation is highly subjective and requires judgement, and results could change materially if different estimates and assumptions were used. The probability assumptions are critically examined by management each reporting period and reviewed by the board of directors for reasonableness.

Asset Retirement Obligations

ARO are legal obligations associated with the retirement and removal of long-lived assets. ARO reflects estimates of future costs directly attributable to remediating the liability, inflation, assumptions of risks associated with the future cash outflows, and the applicable risk-free interest rates for discounting future cash outflows. Changes in these factors can result in a change to the ARO recognized by the Company.

Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the 2023 Form 10-K describes in further detail the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recognition of revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash/(Debt)

Our net cash position is shown below:

	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
	A$		A$
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents		16,675,984		10,240,429
Debt
Short term debt/ loan		303,694		911,082
Net cash		16,372,290		9,329,347

Since inception, we have financed our business primarily through the issuance of equity securities, funding from strategic partners, government grants and rebates (including the research and development tax incentive income), cash flows generated from operations and a loan.

The Group has experienced net cash outflows over recent periods, predominantly in conducting research & development activities, product approval and registrations, launch of our products and support of the same in the marketplace. We continue to reduce research & development expenditure and other operating expenditure in the foreseeable future and focus on increasing our commercialization efforts. We are closely monitoring the success of our commercialization efforts in relation to the newly launched product portfolio and their impact on our cash position. Given the natural uncertainty that arises with the launch of new products, if we were to experience delays or encounter issues in these commercialization efforts, we would need and expect to adjust our operating expenditure accordingly, to ensure sufficient cash remains available to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance. We do not have any external debt obligations and are not subject to any covenant obligations.

We believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulty meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all the financial commitments and obligations of the Company as they come due. In managing the Company’s capital, management estimates future cash requirements by preparing a budget and a multi-year plan for review and approval by the Board of Directors (“the Board”). The budget is reviewed and updated periodically and establishes the approved activities for the next twelve months and estimates the costs associated with those activities. The multi-year plan estimates future activity along with the potential cash requirements and is based upon management’s assessment of current progress along with the expected results from the coming years’ activity. Budget to actual variances is prepared and reviewed by management and are presented on a regular basis to the Board.

22

The carrying value of the cash and cash equivalents and the accounts receivables approximates fair value because of their short-term nature.

We regularly review all our financial assets for impairment. A financial asset is a non-physical asset whose value is derived from a contractual claim and in our case includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, fixed assets and equity shares. With the exception of a provision for expected credit losses on our accounts receivables balances as at June 30, 2024, there were no impairments recognized as at June 30, 2024 or for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Measures of Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table provides certain relevant measures of liquidity and capital resources:

	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
	A$		A$
Cash and cash equivalents		16,675,984		10,240,429
Working capital		20,998,642		16,053,982
Ratio of current assets to current liabilities		5.65		3.70
Shareholders’ equity per common share		0.08		0.08

The movement in cash and cash equivalents and working capital (calculated as current assets less current liabilities) during the above periods was primarily the result of ongoing investment in our R&D activities and the general operations of the Company. The Company also raised A$2.50 million via an institutional placement at an issue price of A$0.15 per New CDI in March 2024 and A$10.00 million pursuant to a fully underwritten entitlement offer in May 2024, at an issue price of $0.15 per New CDI. There were certain options exercised in March 2024 which raised A$0.47 million. The Company also received A$3.79 million of the research and development tax incentive receivable for the 2023 financial year in June 2024.

In relation to receivables, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. A provision for expected credit losses of A$110,193 has been determined principally on the basis of past collection experience as well as consideration of current economic conditions and changes in our customer collection trends.

Summary of Cash Flows

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023
	A$			A$
Cash provided by/(used in):
Operating activities		(5,174,257	)		(9,732,997	)
Investing activities		(111,687	)		(780,936	)
Financing activities		11,797,227			320,652
Net increase/(decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		6,511,283			(10,193,281	)

Our net cash used in operating activities for all periods represents receipts offset by payments for our R&D projects including efforts involved in establishing and maintaining our manufacturing operations and selling, general and administrative expenditure. Cash outflows from operating activities primarily represent the ongoing investment in our efforts to promote brand awareness of our products, R&D activities and the general operations of the Company. As our products capture increases market share, we expect our inflows from the receipt from our customers to eventually exceed the cash outflows from operating activities.

Our net cash used in investing activities for all periods is primarily for the purchase of various equipment and for the various continuous improvement programs we are undertaking.

Our net cash increase in financing activities for the period ended June 30, 2024 is primarily the result of A$2.50 million raised via an institutional placement in March 2024 and A$10.00 million raised pursuant to a fully underwritten entitlement offer in May 2024. There were certain options exercised in March 2024 which raised A$0.47 million.

Item            2            Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On March 25, 2024, the Company issued 16,666,667 CHESS Depositary Interests over fully paid shares of common stock of the Company (“CDIs”) at A$0.15 per CDI in a placement offering (the “Placement”) to selected institutional investors (the “Placement Participants”) and received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately A$2.5 million in connection therewith. Subsequent to receiving the stockholder approval at the Meeting, the Company issued to Placement Participants one option (the “Options”) to acquire CDIs for the exercise price of A$0.20 per CDI for each CDI acquired under the Placement. The issuance of CDIs in the Placement was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.

On May 8, 2024, the Company announced that a fully underwritten non-renounceable rights issue of new CHESS depositary interests over fully paid ordinary shares in UBI (“New CDIs”) raised A$10 million by issuing 66,666,667 shares of its common stock in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”), each of which represents a beneficial interest of one (1) fully paid share of the Company’s common stock (“Entitlement Offer”). In addition, participants in the Entitlement Offer received one attaching option to acquire CDIs for each New CDI acquired under the Entitlement Offer at an exercise price of A$0.20 (the “Options”).

The Options vested upon issue, expire 3 years from the date of issue, are exercisable in multiple tranches and each entitle the option holder to 1 CDI upon exercise (subject to any adjustments for reconstructions or bonus issues in accordance with the Listing Rules).

In connection with the Entitlement Offer, the Company received a binding commitment from the Underwriter, Viburnum Funds Pty Ltd (“Viburnum”) to fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer. Following the close of the Entitlement Offer, 29,289,424 New CDIs and Options were issued to Viburnum.

Mr. Craig Coleman is a Non-Executive Director of the Company and an Executive Chairman and associate of the Underwriter. Viburnum, as investment manager for its associated funds and entities currently holds voting power over approximately 29% of the Company’s shares.

The Company, after receiving the approval of the stockholders of the Company at a special meeting of stockholders held on April 10, 2024 (the “Meeting”), issued Viburnum 13,849,567 options, as its underwriting fee ("Underwriter Options"), equal in value to 5.0% of the underwritten amount of A$10 million. The Underwriter Options were issued on the same terms as the Options issued to investors under the Entitlement Offer.

The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account of, a U.S. Person (within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act), absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. Hedging transactions involving these securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Securities Act.

In addition, the Company received stockholder approval at the Meeting to amend its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance.

On May 27, 2022, Viburnum acquired from Mr. Sharman unlisted options to purchase up to 1,000,000 ordinary shares at A$0.57 per option. The options fully vested on March 25, 2020, had an exercise price of A$0.20 and have an expiry date of March 24, 2024. These options were exercised on March 22, 2024. In March 2024, Mr. Sharman and his associates exercised 1,364,666 options at an exercise price of A$0.20 per option.

Proceeds of the Placement and the Entitlement Offer shall be applied to sustain growth, support ongoing product development, fund short term operating losses and operate and expand marketing and sales development, particularly in relation to the sale of UBI’s Xprecia Prime device following its recent FDA approval.
