Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Products manufactured by the Group are sold to hospitals, blood banking operations and other diagnostics companies worldwide.

Basis of Presentation

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

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The March 31, 2016 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended March 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. The results of operations for the nine month period ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2017 and any future period.

The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations in each year since it commenced operations in 2007 and had an accumulated deficit of $173.0 million as of December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2016, the Company had cash holdings and short-term investments of $44.3 million. The Company has expenditure plans over the next twelve months that exceed its current cash and short-term investment balances, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company expects to fund its operations in the near term, including the continued development of MosaiQTM to commercialization, from a combination of funding sources, including through the use of existing cash and short-term investment balances and the issuance of new equity, debt or other securities. The Company’s Directors are confident in the availability of these funding sources and accordingly have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing when necessary and the terms of any financings may not be advantageous to the Company and may result in dilution to its shareholders.
