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, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. 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, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K” or “Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2023. The year-end consolidated condensed balance sheets data as at December 31, 2022 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 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, 2022. There were no new material accounting standards issued in 2023 that impacted the Company.
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. The Company has not identified any collectability issues with respect to receivables.
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 performance guarantee issued in favor of a customer, tenant security deposits and credit card security deposits.
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 allowance is determined based on a review of individual accounts for collectability, generally focusing on those accounts that are past due. The expense to adjust the allowance for 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
to 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 are 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 |
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 |

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.
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 |
(2) |
as a |
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$
Federal and State Government Subsidies
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments in the countries in which we operate implemented government assistance measures to assist in mitigating some of the impact of the pandemic on our results and liquidity. To the extent appropriate, we applied for such government grants in Australia and Canada and recognize the grants at their fair value as other income when there is reasonable assurance that we have complied with all conditions attached to them.
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
Registered Retirement Savings Plan and Deferred Sharing Profit Plan
The Company provides eligible HRL employees 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
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
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.

Revenue from wine testing products increased by 113% and 100% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the same period in the previous financial year due to the number of test products available for sale in this platform. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, our revenues from wine testing products were primarily from the sale of Sentia analyzers, Free SO2 and Malic Acid test strips. In addition to this, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we are also generating revenues from the sale of the following additional tests – Fructose, Glucose and Acetic Acid levels in wine. Since April 2023, we are also generating revenues from Titratable Acidity test strips.

Adjusted EBITDA
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income/(loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, impairment of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and one-off credits. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement. Management uses adjusted EBITDA because it believes that such measurements are widely accepted financial indicators used by investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance and that these measurements may be used by investors to make informed investment decisions, including our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt and enhances our understanding of our financial performance and highlights operational trends. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, U.S. GAAP. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of property, plant and equipment. Although our property, plant and equipment has increased, the decline in depreciation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in the previous financial year is due to certain assets not being currently depreciated as they are not available for use.
Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 represents the Company’s finance lease liabilities. Amortization expense has declined during the three and six months period ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in the previous financial year as the intangibles assets which were acquired in September 2019 pursuant to the Siemens acquisition were impaired and fully written off as at December 31, 2022.
Research and Development Expenses
The primary focus of the R&D activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were developing the Company's:
● |
Sentia wine testing platform (Fructose, Acetic Acid and Titratable Acidity tests) including further enhancement of certain Sentia tests that has already been launched; |
|
● |
Xprecia Prime next generation PT-INR Coagulation platform including U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Clinical Trial programs. The submission to FDA was made in March 2023; |
|
● |
Petrackr biosensor strip and meter to be used for the detection and monitoring of diabetes in non-humans. The Petrackr product was launched in May 2023; |
|
● |
Oncology platform Tn Antigen biosensor used for the detection, staging and monitoring of cancer; and |
|
● |
Aptamer based sensing platform including COVID-19 and female fertility testing. |
As we finalise the development of our products, obtain the necessary regulatory approval required for those products and subsequently launch the same, our R&D activity relating to these developments is expected to reduce.. During Q1 2023, we finalized the development of and launched the Sentia Fructose and Acetic Acid tests. The Titratable Acidity test was launched in April 2023. We submitted to the FDA our Xprecia Prime clinical trial results. Once approved by the FDA, we will be able to launch this product in the United States. We launched our Petrackr product in May 2023. As a result of these activities our R&D expenditure declined by 53% and 50% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in the previous financial year.
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
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 increased by 33% and 49% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in the previous financial year primarily due to an investment in the Company’s sales and marketing efforts. The Company has now multiple products in the market compared to the same period in the previous financial year and these products are supported by various marketing campaigns and awareness including sales personnel to support our pipeline of products.
Interest Income
Interest income increased by A$152,168 and A$354,039 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in the previous financial year. The increase in interest income is attributable to the higher amount of funds available for investment and higher interest rates.
Interest Expense
Interest expense relates to interest being charged on the secured short-term borrowing initiated by the Company for the 2023 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”). Increase in financing costs is as a result of increase in the discount rate used.
Research and Development Tax Incentive Income
As at June 30, 2023 there is reasonable likelihood that the aggregate turnover of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2023 will be less than A$20,000,000 and accordingly an estimated A$1,373,715 has been recorded as research and development tax incentive income receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Offset against this was an overstatement of research and development tax incentive income of $278,413 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and as a result the aggregate amount recognized as income is A$1,095,302 for the six months ended June 30, 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, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.
Research and development tax incentive income for the 2022 financial year has not yet been received and as such is recorded in “Research and development tax incentive income receivable” in the consolidated condensed balance sheet.
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.

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 impairment of intangible assets, deferred income taxes, research and development tax incentive income and stock-based compensation expenses:
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property 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 recognise an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.
Deferred Income Taxes
We compute our deferred income taxes based on the statutory tax rates, future forecasts and tax planning opportunities. Judgement is required in determining our future forecasts and evaluating our tax positions and whether it is probable that our tax losses will be utilised.
Our estimates are made based on the best available information at the time we prepare our consolidated condensed financial statements. In making our estimates, we consider the impact of legislative and judicial developments. As these developments evolve, we update our estimates, which, in turn, may result in adjustments to our effective tax rate.
We anticipate realization of a significant portion of our deferred tax assets through the reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, will be realized.
Uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are recognized (or derecognized) in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained on its technical merits upon examination by tax authorities, taking into account available administrative remedies and litigation. Assessment of uncertain tax positions requires significant judgments relating to the amounts, timing and likelihood of resolution.
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.
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.
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 2022 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.

Net cash |
16,223,493 | 25,911,935 |
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 the recent periods, predominantly in conducting research & development expenditure and product approval and launching. As of June 30, 2023 our cash and cash equivalents were $16.3 million. We expect 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 are prepared and reviewed by management and are presented on a regular basis to the Board.
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. There were no impairments recognized as at June 30, 2023 or for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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 R&D activities and the general operations of the Company. As we continue launching products, 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. Since 2022, we have also made investments in our manufacturing scale-up project and we expect finalization of the same during 2023.
Our net cash increase in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 is primarily the result of A$26 million raised pursuant to a A$20 million fully underwritten rights issue and a A$6 million placement which occurred in May 2022. Our net cash increase in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily represents proceeds received in the form of a short-term loan to finance our 2023 insurance program and repayment of the same.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as such term is defined under Item 303 of Regulation S-K, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Segment Operating Performance
We operate in one segment. We are a specialist biosensors Company focused on the development, manufacture and commercialization of a range of point of use devices for measuring different analytes across different industries.
Our operations are in Australia, US, Europe and Canada.
The Company’s material long-lived assets are predominantly based in Australia.
Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
At the end of the period covered by this report, the Company and management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)). The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. John Sharman, Principal Executive Officer and Salesh Balak, Principal Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, Messrs. Sharman and Balak concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] |
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, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. 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, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K” or “Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2023. The year-end consolidated condensed balance sheets data as at December 31, 2022 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 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, 2022. There were no new material accounting standards issued in 2023 that impacted the Company.
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:
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:
These fair value methodologies depend on the following types of 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. The Company has not identified any collectability issues with respect to receivables.
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 performance guarantee issued in favor of a customer, tenant security deposits and credit card security deposits.
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 allowance is determined based on a review of individual accounts for collectability, generally focusing on those accounts that are past due. The expense to adjust the allowance for 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 to 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:
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 are 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:
Nature of goods and services
The following is a description of products and services from which the Company generates its revenue.
See Note 9 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.
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:
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$567,024 and A$1,095,302 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2023 there is reasonable assurance that the aggregate turnover of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 will be less than A$20,000,000.
Federal and State Government Subsidies
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments in the countries in which we operate implemented government assistance measures to assist in mitigating some of the impact of the pandemic on our results and liquidity. To the extent appropriate, we applied for such government grants in Australia and Canada and recognize the grants at their fair value as other income when there is reasonable assurance that we have complied with all conditions attached to them.
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 9.50% to 10.0% for the period commencing July 1, 2021 and increased to 10.5% on July 1, 2022 and 11.0% on July 1, 2023. 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 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.
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. |

12. 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:
Mr. Coleman is a Non-Executive Director of the Company and Executive Chairman and Associate of Viburnum Funds Pty Ltd (“Viburnum”). Viburnum, as an investment manager for its associated funds, holds a beneficial interest and voting power over approximately 26% of UBI’s shares.
On April 20, 2022, the Company announced a fully underwritten non-renounceable rights issue of new CHESS depositary interests over fully paid ordinary shares in UBI (“New CDIs”) to raise approximately A$20.00 million (“Entitlement Offer”) at a ratio of 1 New CDI for every 6.85 existing CDIs held at the record date, being April 27, 2022.
In connection with the Entitlement Offer, on April 19, 2022, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Viburnum (the “Underwriter”). Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter agreed to take up its full entitlement under the Entitlement Offer and fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer, which meant that the Underwriter agreed to subscribe for or procure others to subscribe for all securities (if any) not subscribed for by the Company’s eligible securityholders under the Entitlement Offer. Following the close of the Entitlement Offer, 25.9 million New CDIs were issued to Viburnum on May 27, 2022, which raised approximately A$19.94 million.
The Company also agreed, subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company, to issue to the Underwriter (or its nominee) unlisted options to purchase up to 3,840,000 ordinary shares, in two tranches, as its underwriting fee (the “Underwriter Options”) in lieu of cash compensation. The Underwriter Options vested upon issue on May 27, 2022 and have an expiry date of 3 years from their date of issue. The exercise price in respect of half of the Underwriter Options is an amount equal to 120% of the Offer Price, or A$0.92. The second half of the Underwriter Options have an exercise price equal to 130% of the Offer Price, or A$1.00. The stockholders of the Company approved the issuance of the Underwriter Options at a special meeting of stockholders held on May 23, 2022.
On May 27, 2022, Viburnum acquired from a member of management, unlisted options to purchase up to 1,000,000 ordinary shares. The options fully vested on March 25, 2020, have an exercise price of $A0.20 and have an expiry date of March 24, 2024.
There were no material related party transactions or balances as at June 30, 2023 other than as disclosed above. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. 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, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K” or “Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2023. The year-end consolidated condensed balance sheets data as at December 31, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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 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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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, 2022. There were no new material accounting standards issued in 2023 that impacted the Company. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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 Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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:
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, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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:
These fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties [Policy Text Block] |
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. The Company has not identified any collectability issues with respect to receivables. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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 performance guarantee issued in favor of a customer, tenant security deposits and credit card security deposits. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Receivable [Policy Text Block] |
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 allowance is determined based on a review of individual accounts for collectability, generally focusing on those accounts that are past due. The expense to adjust the allowance for 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 [Policy Text Block] |
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 [Policy Text Block] |
Other Current Assets
The Company’s other current assets are primarily represented by sundry receivables. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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 to 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 or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Goods and Services Tax [Policy Text Block] |
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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block] |
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:
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 are incurred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Asset Retirement Obligation [Policy Text Block] |
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 [Policy Text Block] |
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:
Nature of goods and services
The following is a description of products and services from which the Company generates its revenue.
See Note 9 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.
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:
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$567,024 and A$1,095,302 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2023 there is reasonable assurance that the aggregate turnover of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 will be less than A$20,000,000.
Federal and State Government Subsidies
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments in the countries in which we operate implemented government assistance measures to assist in mitigating some of the impact of the pandemic on our results and liquidity. To the extent appropriate, we applied for such government grants in Australia and Canada and recognize the grants at their fair value as other income when there is reasonable assurance that we have complied with all conditions attached to them. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block] |
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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Compensation Related Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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 9.50% to 10.0% for the period commencing July 1, 2021 and increased to 10.5% on July 1, 2022 and 11.0% on July 1, 2023. 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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Pensions, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Registered Retirement Savings Plan and Deferred Sharing Profit Plan
The Company provides eligible HRL employees 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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Nonpension Benefits, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, 401K [Policy Text Block] |
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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
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. |
