NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

(a)    Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 are not indicative of annual results. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries. References to “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company” refer to Nemaura Medical Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations is the Great Britain Pound Sterling (“GBP”), and the reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar (“USD”).

 

(b)Changes to significant accounting policies

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are used as part of the overall strategy to manage exposure to foreign currency primarily associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments are included in the consolidated balance sheets and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations as a significant proportion of our expenses are incurred within our UK subsidiary which is denominated in Great Britain Pounds Sterling (“GBP”), with the remaining portion denominated in U.S. dollars and a small amount in Euro’s (“EUR”). In addition to this we hold the majority of our cash in USD, with amounts also held in GBP and, to a much smaller amount, in EUR’s. The Company’s objective is to reduce the volatility associated with these foreign exchange rate changes to allow management to focus our attention on our core business strategy and objectives. Accordingly, during the three month period ended June 30, 2021 the Company entered into a target accrual redemption forward contract (“TARF”) agreement to sell USD and buy GBP across 25 defined monthly fixings, in order to fix the costs associated with the foreign currency exchange fluctuations associated with its GBP denominated expenses. These fixings allow for $250,000 to be converted to GBP at a fixed rate of $1.369 subject to the spot rate on the fixing date being above the fixed rate. Should the spot rate fall below the fixed rate on the scheduled fixing date, the Company is obligated to convert $500,000 to GBP at the fixed rate. The exchange rate range experienced by the company over the last 2 years for USD : GBP has seen a high of approximately $1.163 in March 2020 and a low of approximately $1.423 in June 2021. Cumulative profit on the sale of USD is capped at an aggregate of approximately $55,000 over the shorter of the life of the contract fixings or the utilization of the cap.

 

At June 30, 2021, the Company held a forward contract to sell up to $12.5 million, which when remeasured at fair value generated a loss of $63,068 which has been captured within the other comprehensive loss for the period. No such similar derivative financial instrument was in place at March 31, 2021 or June 30, 2020.

 

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are classified as Level 2 under our fair value of financial instruments policy, as set out in the March 31, 2021 Form 10-K.

 

There have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies from those detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on June 29, 2021.

(c) Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company's financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its consolidated financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company's consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have a current and/or future impact on the Company, or are unrelated to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
