Nemaura Pharma Limited (Pharma) and NDM Technologies Limited (NDM) are entities controlled by the Company’s majority shareholder, DFH Chowdhury.  

 

Pharma has invoiced DDL and TCL for research and development services. In addition, certain operating expenses of DDL and TCL were incurred and paid by Pharma and NDM.  In accordance with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin 55, these financial statements reflect all costs associated with the operations of DDL and TCL.  While certain costs incurred by Pharma and NDM are directly attributable to DDL and TCL, other costs were shared between the organizations.  In situations where the costs were shared, expense has been allocated between Pharma and NDM and DDL and TCL using a fixed percentage allocation.  Management believes the methodologies used are reasonable and that the costs allocated are not materially different from what they would have been had Pharma and NDM been unaffiliated entities. DDL and TCL advanced Pharma certain amounts to cover a portion of the costs.
