2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023 (United States) and the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") on February 24, 2023 (Australia) (the “Annual Report").

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See the summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies set forth in the notes to its consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Reclassification of prior year presentation

Certain prior year amounts within Other current liabilities have been reclassified to Current non-qualified deferred compensation liability, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for consistency with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or financial position.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts (including doubtful accounts, carrying value of long-lived assets, the useful lives of long-lived assets, accounting for marketable securities, income taxes, stock-based compensation, and the stand-alone selling price for the BARDA contract) and related disclosures. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the current and available information. However, actual results could differ from estimated amounts.

Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Currency Transactions

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s operating non-U.S. subsidiaries are generally determined using the respective local currency as the functional currency of that subsidiary. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period end. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses and were a gain of $11,000 and loss of $22,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company’s non-operating subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency remeasure monetary assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period and nonmonetary assets and liabilities at historical rates. Gains and losses resulting from these remeasurements and foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses. During the three-months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a loss of $9,000 and $15,000, respectively.

Comprehensive Loss

The components of comprehensive loss consist of net loss, foreign currency translation adjustments from its subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency and unrealized gains and losses in investments available for sale. The Company did not have reclassifications from other comprehensive loss to net loss during the three-months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, the Company performs the following five steps:

Identify the contract with a customer

Identify the performance obligations

Determine the transaction price

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations

Recognize revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied

In order for an arrangement to be considered a contract, it must be probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for goods or services to be transferred. Once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised with each contract, determines whether those are performance obligations and the related transaction price. The Company then recognizes the sale of goods based on the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company’s revenue consists primarily of the sale of the RECELL System to hospitals or other treatment centers and to BARDA (collectively, “customers”), predominately in the United States. The Company evaluated the BARDA contract and concluded that a portion of the arrangement, such as the procurement of the RECELL system and the emergency preparedness, represents a transaction with a customer and as such are in the scope of ASC 606. Amounts received from BARDA for the research and development of the Company’s product are classified as BARDA income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are accounted for under IAS 20 by analogy. For further details refer to BARDA Income and Receivables below.

Revenues for commercial customers (hospitals, treatment centers and COSMOTEC) are recognized as control of the product is transferred to customers, at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for the product. Revenues are recognized net of volume discounts. As such, revenue is recognized only to the extent a significant reversal of revenues is not expected to occur in subsequent periods. For the Company’s contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts and does not consider the time value of money. Further, because of the short duration of these contracts, the Company has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue. The Company has further applied the practical expedient to exclude sales tax in the transaction price and expense contract fulfillment costs such as commissions and shipping and handling expenses as incurred.

For revenues related to the BARDA contract within the scope of ASC 606, the Company identified two performance obligations: (i) the procurement of 5,614 RECELL units; and (ii) emergency preparedness services. Through this contract the Company promises to procure the product through a vendor management inventory arrangement and to stand ready to provide emergency deployment services related to the product. Emergency preparedness services include procuring necessary storage containers, housing, and maintaining the containers (and product), and providing shipping and handling services in the event of an emergency situation. This stand ready obligation is a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, overtime as services are consumed.

The total transaction price for the portion of the BARDA contract that is within the scope of ASC 606, was determined to be $9.2 million. The transaction price was allocated on a stand-alone selling price basis as follows: $7.6 million to the procurement of the RECELL product, which is classified as Revenues when recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and $1.6 million to the emergency deployment services which is classified as Revenues when recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The $1.6 million for emergency deployment includes variable consideration which is deemed immaterial to the contract as a whole. The Company estimated the stand-alone selling price of the procurement of the RECELL product based on historical pricing of the Company’s product at the initial execution of the contract. The Company estimated the stand-alone selling price of the emergency deployment services performed based on the Company’s projected cost of providing the services plus an applicable profit margin as denoted in the contract.

The Company’s performance obligations are either satisfied at a point in time or over time as services are provided. The product procurement performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, upon transfer of control of the product. As such, the related revenue for these performance obligations is recognized at a point in time as revenue within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition to guidance under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sales of RECELL product to BARDA for placement into vaccine stockpiles in accordance with SEC Interpretation, Commission Guidance regarding Accounting for Sale of Vaccines and BioTerror Countermeasures to the Federal Government for Placement into the Pediatric Vaccine Stockpile or the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when product is placed in the BARDA vendor-managed inventory as control of the product has been transferred to the customer at the time of delivery to the VMI. RECELL units that have been delivered to BARDA have a product replacement obligation at no cost to BARDA due to the product’s limited shelf-life. The estimated cost of the expired inventory over the term of the contract is recognized on a per unit basis at the time of delivery. The liability is released upon replacement of the product along with a corresponding reduction to inventory. The emergency preparedness services performance obligation is satisfied over time. Revenue for the emergency deployment will be recognized on a straight-line basis during the term of the contract as services are consumed over time. Services recognized are included in Revenues within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Contract costs to fulfill the performance obligations are incremental and expected to be recovered are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Contract costs are included in Prepaids and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For further details refer to Note 6.

Contract Liabilities

The Company receives payments from customers based on contractual terms. Trade receivables are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. The Company satisfies its performance obligation on product sales when the products are shipped or delivered, depending on the terms of the sale. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30-90 days, and do not include a financing component. Contract liabilities are recorded when the Company receives payment prior to satisfying its obligation to transfer goods to a customer. For further details refer to Note 6.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales related to products includes costs to manufacture or purchase, package, and ship the Company’s products. Costs also include relevant production overhead and depreciation and amortization. These costs are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer and revenue is recognized.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income or loss 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 operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included on the related tax liability line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company reviews its uncertain tax positions regularly. An uncertain tax position represents the Company’s expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed return or planned to be taken in a future tax return or claim that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination on the basis of the technical merits or the statute of limitations for the relevant taxing authority to examine and challenge the tax position has expired.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents consists of cash held at deposit institutions and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and consist primarily of money market funds. The Company holds cash at deposit institutions in the amount of $3.3 million and $4.1 million, of which $829,000 and $737,000 is denominated in foreign currencies in foreign institutions as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company held cash equivalents in the amount of $24.8 million and $14.1 million, respectively.

Silicon Valley Bank Failure

On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank failed and was taken into receivership by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Company's cash deposits were in excess of federally insured limits with Silicon Valley Bank as of March 10, 2023. However, on March 12, 2023, the federal government announced they will back all customer deposits at Silicon Valley Bank. The Company did not encounter any loss of cash or assets as a result of the bank failure. Subsequent to the bank failure, the Company established a commercial banking relationship with Bank of America. Cash equivalents and marketable securities were held by US Bank and were not impacted by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.

Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables, BARDA receivables and other receivables. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially all of the Company’s cash was deposited in accounts at financial institutions, and amounts may exceed federally insured limits and subject to the risk of bank failure.

As of March 31, 2023 no single commercial customer accounted for more than 10% of net accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2022, one commercial customer accounted for more than 10% of total net accounts receivable. For the three-months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues. BARDA revenue for emergency deployment accounted for approximately 1% and 1% of total revenues for the three-months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. BARDA receivables for emergency preparedness services accounted for 3% and 2% of total BARDA receivables as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. See table below for breakdown of BARDA receivables (in thousands).


	As of
	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
BARDA procurement and emergency preparedness services	$	16	$	16
BARDA expense reimbursements		500		882
Total	$	516	$	898

Marketable Securities

We classify all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents and all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months as marketable securities. The Company classifies marketable securities as short-term when they have remaining contractual maturities of one year or less from the balance sheet date, and as long-term when the investments have remaining contractual maturities of more than one year from the balance sheet date. Classification is determined at the time of purchase and re-evaluated each balance sheet date. Short-term marketable securities represent investment of cash available for current operations. We account for our marketable securities as available-for-sale securities.

All marketable securities, which consist of corporate debt securities, U.S government agency obligations, U.S treasury and commercial paper are denominated in U.S. dollars, have been classified as “available for sale”, and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of any related tax effects, are excluded from earnings and are included in other comprehensive income (loss) and reported as a separate component of stockholders equity until realized. Realized gains and losses on marketable securities are included in Other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cost of any marketable securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The amortized cost of marketable securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Interest on marketable securities is included in other income. In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, management invests to diversify credit risk and only invests in securities with high credit quality, including U.S. government securities, and the maximum final maturity from the date of purchase is thirty-seven months.

If necessary, the Company will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities on an individual basis, and will no longer consider other than-temporary impairment or immediately reduce the cost basis of the investment provided that it is more likely than not that the security will be held to recovery or maturity. Further, the Company will recognize any improvements in estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities immediately in earnings and reduce the existing allowance for credit losses. The Company will disaggregate its available-for-sale debt securities into the following categories: commercial paper, corporate debt, government and agency securities, asset backed securities and money market funds. The Company’s corporate bonds are comprised of predominantly high-grade corporate bonds while its government and agency securities are U.S. treasury bonds, and U.S. agency bonds. The Company has analyzed both corporate bonds and government and agency securities and identified that both types of securities have similar risk characteristics in that they are traded infrequently and have contractual interest rates and maturity dates.

To evaluate for impairment, management reviews credit rating changes, securities trends, interest rate movements and unrealized loss at the security level of the Company’s available for sale debt securities. If any of these give rise to a potential credit concern, the Company performs a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the credit portion of the impairment. The discounted cash flow analysis will be performed either internally or through the assistance of a qualified third party. Once the credit component of the impairment is determined, the Company will record the impaired amount as an allowance to the available-for-sale debt securities balance and as a charge to Other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, not to exceed the amount of the unrealized loss. The Company assesses expected credit losses at the end of each reporting period and adjusts the allowance through other income.

BARDA Income and Receivables

The Company was awarded the Biomedical Advance Research and Development Authority ("BARDA") grant in September 2015. Under this grant BARDA supports the Company’s research and development for the Company’s product, including the ongoing U.S. clinical regulatory program targeted towards FDA PMA, our compassionate use program, clinical and health economics research, and U.S. pediatric burn programs. Currently, the BARDA contract is supporting the Company's clinical trial in soft-tissue reconstruction.

Consideration received under the BARDA grant is earned and recognized under a cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement in which the Company is reimbursed for direct costs incurred plus allowable indirect costs and a fixed-fee earned. Billings under the contracts are based on approved provisional indirect billing rates, which permit recovery of fringe benefits, general and administrative expenses and a fixed fee.

The Company has concluded that grants under the BARDA grant are not within the scope of ASC 606, as they do not meet the definition of a contract with a “customer.” The Company has further concluded that Subtopic 958-605, Not-for-Profit-Entities-Revenue Recognition also does not apply, as the Company is a business entity and the grants are with governmental agencies or units. With respect to the BARDA grant, we considered the guidance in IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, by analogy. BARDA income and related receivables are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attaching conditions have been complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, the grant received is recognized as income over the period when the expense was incurred.

Leases

The Company has operating leases for corporate office space, manufacturing and a warehouse facility. The Company’s operating leases have remaining lease terms of one year to three years, some of which include options to renew the lease. At contract inception, the Company determines whether the contract is a lease or contains a lease. A contract contains a lease if the Company is both able to identify an asset and can conclude it has the right to control the identified asset for a period of time. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to control an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an explicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the discount rate used to present value lease payments. In determining the IBR, the Company considered its credit rating and current market interest rates. The IBR used approximates the interest that the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized loan over a similar term. The Company’s leases typically do not include any residual value guarantees or asset retirement obligations.

The Company’s lease terms are only for periods in which it has enforceable rights. A lease is no longer enforceable when both the lessee and the lessor each have the right to terminate the lease without permission from the other party with no more than an insignificant penalty. The Company has options to renew some of these leases for three years after their expiration. The Company considers these options, which may be elected at the Company’s sole discretion, in determining the lease term on a lease-by-lease basis. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is primarily included in General and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. Some leases require variable payments for common area maintenance, property taxes, parking, insurance and other variable costs. The variable portion of lease payments is not included in operating lease assets or liabilities. Variable lease costs are expensed when incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records compensation expense for stock options based on the fair market value of the awards on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based compensation awards is amortized over the vesting period of the award. Compensation expense for performance-based awards is evaluated based on the number of shares ultimately expected to vest, estimated at each grant date based on management’s expectations regarding the relevant performance criteria, if any. The Black-Scholes option pricing model and Monte Carlo Simulation were used to estimate the fair value of the time-based and performance-based options, respectively. Under ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.

The following assumptions were used in the valuation of stock options.

•

Expected volatility – determined using the average of the historical volatility using daily intervals over the expected term and the derived volatility using the longest term available of 12 months.

•

Expected dividends - based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future

•

Expected term – the expected term of the Company’s stock options for tenure only vesting has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method as described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 relating to share-based compensation. The simplified method was chosen because the Company has limited historical option exercise experience due to its short operating history of awards granted, with the first plan being established in 2016 which was primarily used for executive awards. Further, the Company does not have sufficient history of exercises in the U.S. market given the Company’s redomiciliation from Australia to the United States in 2020. The expected term of options with a performance condition or market condition was set to the contractual term of 10 years. The contractual term was used for options with a performance or market condition as these are primarily awarded to executives and the Company assumes that they will hold them longer than rank and file employees.

•

Risk-free interest rate – the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for a period approximately equal to the expected term of the award.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer. To date, the Company has viewed its operations and manages its business as one segment.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan Liability and Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Asset

The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the "NQDC plan"), which became effective in October 2021, allows highly compensated key employees to elect to defer a portion of their salary, bonus and restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards to later years. Management determined that the cash deferrals under the NQDC plan shall be accounted for similarly to a defined benefit plan under ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits, and should follow accounting treatment that is similar to a cash balance plan. Management determined that the employee portion and employer portion of the deferred compensation should be recognized as a compensation expense with a corresponding credit to deferred compensation liability. The matching contribution will be accrued over the vesting period of two years with 25% vesting in the first year and 75% vesting in the second year. Employees aged 55 or older immediately vest in employer matching contributions. The change in the liability between each reporting period is accounted for as compensation expense with a corresponding adjustment to deferred compensation liability. Upon distribution, the Company will record the distribution as a decrease to compensation liability with a corresponding credit to cash. The Company funds the NQDC plan through a Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (“COLI”). Per the ASC 325-30-25-1A, Investments – Other, COLI is recorded as an asset in on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as it does not meet the definition of a plan asset under ASC 715. The Company invests in COLI policies relating to its deferred compensation plan. Investments in COLI policies are recorded at their cash surrender values as of each balance sheet date. Changes in the cash surrender value during the period are recorded as a gain or loss in the statements of operations in Other income.

Rabbi Trust

During April 2022, we established a rabbi trust for a select group of participants in which share awards granted under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”) and deferred under the NQDC plan may be deposited. In addition to the deferral of shares, the rabbi trust holds the assets in the COLI for the NQDC plan. The rabbi trust is an irrevocable trust and no portion of the trust fund may be used for any purpose other than the delivery of those assets to the participants. The assets held in the rabbi trust are subject to the claims of our general creditors in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. The value of the assets of the rabbi trust is consolidated into our financial statements.

The NQDC plan permits diversification of vested shares (common stock) into other equity securities subject to a six-month and one day holding period subsequent to vesting. Per ASC 710-10-25-15, accounting for deferred common stock will be under plan

type C or D. Accounting will depend on whether or not the employee has diversified the common stock. Under Plan type C, diversification is permitted but the employee has not diversified. Under Plan type D, diversification is permitted and the employee has diversified.

For common stock that have not been diversified, the employer stock held in the rabbi trust is classified in a manner similar to treasury stock and presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Company common stock held by the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Common stock will be recorded at fair value of the stock at the time it vested, subsequent changes in the value of the common stock will not be recognized. The deferred compensation obligation is measured independently at fair value of the common stock with a corresponding charge or credit to compensation cost. The fair value is calculated as the product of the common stock and the closing price of the stock each reporting period.

Under plan type D, the accounting for the assets held by the rabbi trust are subject to the accounting pronouncements under applicable U.S. GAAP for each asset type. As diversified common stock will be invested in mutual funds, assets held by the rabbi trust will be subject to accounting in ASC 321 - Investments - Equity Securities. The deferred compensation obligation is measured independently at fair value of the underlying assets. As of March 31, 2023, none of the deferred common stock has been diversified.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Stock Awards

In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, the deferred RSU awards under the NQDC plan are classified as an equity instrument and changes in fair value of the amount owed to the participant are not recognized. As the plan permits diversification, presentation outside of permanent equity in accordance with ASR 268, Redeemable Preferred Stock is appropriate. The redemption amounts are based on the vested percentage and are recorded outside of equity as Non-qualified deferred compensation share awards on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred awards will be presented outside of permanent equity until the awards are vested. For further details refer to Note 18.

5. Fair Value Measurements

The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework with respect to measuring assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis. Under the framework, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as of the measurement date. The framework also establishes a three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy:

The Company’s Level 1 assets include money market instruments and are valued based upon observable market prices. Level 2 assets consist of commercial paper, U.S Government agency obligations, corporate debt securities, asset backed securities and U.S Treasury securities. Level 2 securities are valued based upon observable inputs that include reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, bids and offers. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no investments that were measured using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

6. Revenues

Revenues

The Company’s revenue consists of sale of the RECELL System to hospitals, treatment centers and COSMOTEC (“commercial customers”) and to BARDA (collectively “customers”), predominately in the United States. In addition, the Company records service revenue for the emergency preparedness services provided to BARDA.

Performance Obligations

For commercial contracts, we identified the hospital or treatment center as the customer in Step 1 of the 5-step model of ASC 606 and have determined a contract exists with those customers. As these contracts typically have a single performance obligation (i.e. product delivery), no allocation of the transaction price is required in Step 4 of the model. Control of the product is transferred to the

customer at a point in time, at the point in time at which the goods are either shipped or delivered to our customers’ facilities, depending on the terms of the contract. The transaction price is stated within the contract and is therefore fixed consideration. The transaction price does not include the sales tax that is imposed by governmental authorities.

For the contract with BARDA, the Company identified two performance obligations (i) the procurement of 5,614 RECELL units; and (ii) emergency preparedness services. The Company’s performance obligations are either satisfied at a point in time or over time as services are provided. The product procurement performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, upon transfer of control of the product. RECELL units that have been delivered to BARDA have a product replacement obligation at no cost to BARDA due to the product’s limited shelf-life. The estimated cost of the expired inventory over the term of the contract is recognized on a per unit basis at the time of delivery. The liability is released upon replacement of the product along with a corresponding reduction to inventory. The Company has estimated deferred cost of approximately $130,000 and $194,000 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, for the rotation cost of the product and are included Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The emergency preparedness services performance obligation is satisfied over time. Revenue for the emergency deployment will be recognized on a straight-line basis during the term of the contract as services are consumed over time. Services recognized for the three-months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $92,000 and $93,000, respectively, and are included in Revenues within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Contract costs to fulfill the performance obligation that are incremental and are expected to be recovered are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 contract costs of $189,000 and $252,000 are included in Prepaids and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Revenues from remaining performance obligations are calculated as the dollar value of the remaining performance obligations on executed contracts. The estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) pursuant to the Company’s existing customer agreements is $617,000 and $698,000 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Approximately $201,000 and $274,000 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, of the total balance, relates to our July 2020 contract with BARDA for the purchase, delivery and storage of RECELL Systems for emergency response preparedness for a period of three years. The Company expects to recognize this amount as services are provided to BARDA. We are contracted to manage this inventory of product until the federal government requests shipment or at contract termination on December 31, 2023. The remaining balance of $416,000 and $424,000 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the Company expects to recognize as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract with COSMOTEC.

Variable Consideration

The Company evaluates its contracts with customers for forms of variable consideration, which may require an adjustment to the transaction price based on their estimated impact. For commercial customers, revenue from the sale of goods is recognized net of volume discounts. The Company uses the expected value method when estimating variable consideration. Revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Variable consideration under the BARDA contract is not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Contract assets include amounts related to the Company’s contractual right to consideration for both completed and partially completed performance for which the Company does not have the right to payment. As of the period ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company does not have any contract assets.

Contract liabilities are recorded when the Company receives payment prior to satisfying its obligation to transfer goods to a customer. The Company had $617,000 and $698,000 of contract liabilities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 a total of $235,000 and $0, respectively, was included in Other current liabilities and $382,000 and $698,000, respectively in Contract liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The balance relates to the unsatisfied performance obligation for emergency preparedness under the BARDA contract and COSMOTEC. The performance obligation will be satisfied, and revenue will be recognized over time over the term of the contract. For the three-months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $92,000 and $93,000 of revenue from BARDA and $8,400 and $0 from COSMOTEC of the amounts included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities.

Cost to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

Commercial contract fulfillment costs include commissions and shipping expenses. The Company has opted to immediately expense the incremental cost of obtaining a contract when the underlying related asset would have been amortized over one year or less. The Company generally does not incur costs to obtain new contracts.

BARDA Contract Costs

Cost to fulfill the BARDA emergency preparedness performance obligation, which primarily consist of billed costs to BARDA incurred in connection with the emergency deployment services, are incremental and expected to be recovered. Costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had $189,000 and $252,000 of contracts costs included in Prepaids and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization expense related to deferred contract costs were $85,000 and $85,000, during the three-months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and are classified as Cost of sales on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no impairment loss in relation to deferred contract costs during the three-months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.

Disaggregated Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and by customer type. As noted in the segment footnote, the Company’s business consists of one reporting segment. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by geographical region and customer type is provided in Segment Note 12.

7. Leases

During February 2023, the Company remeasured the lease liability for an office lease due to a change in the lease term. As a result of the remeasurement of the lease liability, there was an increase of approximately $1.1 million, to the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.

15. Stock-Based Payment Plans

Overview of Employee Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Our former parent company, AVITA Medical Pty Limited, adopted the Employee Share Plan and the Incentive Option Plan (collectively, the “2016 Plans”). Upon completion of the redomiciliation of AVITA Medical from Australia to the United States (“Redomiciliation”), the 2016 Plans were terminated with respect to future grants and accordingly, there are no more shares available to be issued under the 2016 Plans. In addition, upon completion of the Redomiciliation, the Company had an implicit consolidation or reverse stock split of 100:1 and all share information presented below in relation to the 2016 Plans has been presented on a reverse stock split basis. During November 2020, the Company, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register a total of 1,750,000 shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”). On December 22, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of options and awards to the Board of Directors and the Company's former CEO ("Former CEO") in accordance with ASX rules. These awards are subject to the vesting and performance conditions as denoted in the individual agreements. On December 12, 2022, the Company's stockholders approved the issuance of options and awards to the Board of Directors and the CEO in accordance with ASX rules. These awards are subject to vesting conditions as denoted in the individual agreements.

The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of the following Grants: (a) Incentive Stock Options, (b) Nonstatutory Stock Options, (c) Stock Appreciation Rights, (d) Restricted Stock Grants, (e) Restricted Stock Unit Grants, (f) Performance Grants, and (g) Other Grants. The 2020 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee or by the Board acting as the Compensation Committee. Subject to the general purposes, terms and conditions of the 2020 Plan, applicable law and any charter adopted by the Board governing the actions of the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee will have full power to implement and carry out the 2020 Plan. Without limitation, the Compensation Committee will have the authority to interpret the plan, approve persons to receive grants, determine the terms and number of shares of the grants, determine vesting and exercisability of grants, and make all other determinations necessary or advisable in connection with the administration of this Plan.

The contractual term of stock option awards granted under the 2020 Plan is ten years from the grant date. Unless otherwise specified, the vesting periods of awards granted under the 2020 Plan are: (i) vest over a four-year period in four equal installments, 25% at the end of each year from the date of grant, and /or (ii) subject to other performance criteria and hurdles, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Stock-Based Payment Expenses

Stock-based payment transactions are recognized as compensation expense based on the fair value of the instrument on the date of grant. The Company uses the graded-vesting method to recognize compensation expense. Compensation cost is reduced for forfeitures as they occur in accordance with ASU 2016-09, simplifying the Accounting for Share-Based Payment ("ASU 2016-09"). During the three-months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.6 million, and $2.9 million, respectively. No income tax benefit was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock-based payment arrangements for the three-months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.

RSUs granted as a result of stockholder approval at the December 22, 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and December 14, 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders arise out of contracts between the Company and the holders of such securities. These RSU awards were approved by the Compensation Committee. All RSU awards vest in accordance with the tenure or performance conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee and set out in the contracts between the Company and the holders of such securities.

18. Retirement Plans

The Company offers a 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for its employees, including its executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The Company matches contributions to the 401(k) Plan based on the amount of salary deferral contributions the participant makes to the 401(k) Plan. The Company will match up to 6% of an employee’s compensation that the employee contributes to his or her 401(k) Plan account up to the maximum allowable. Total Company's matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $423,000 and $233,000 in the three-months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company’s NQDC plan, which became effective on October 2021, allows for eligible management and highly compensated key employees to elect to defer a portion of their salary, bonus and RSU awards to later years. Cash deferrals are immediately vested and are subject to investment risk and a risk of forfeiture under certain circumstances. RSU deferrals are subject to the vesting conditions of the award. Once RSUs vest, subject to a six-month and one day holding period, employees are allowed to diversify the common stock into other investment options offered by the plan. For cash deferrals, the Company matches 4% to 6% (depending on level) of employee contributions. These matching employer contributions are vested over a two-year period with 25% vesting on year one and 75% vesting on year two for employees under 55 years of age. Employer contributions for employees over 55 years of age are immediately vested. Employer contributions to the NQDC plan were $42,000 and $84,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s deferred compensation plan liability was $3.3 million and $1.3 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These amounts are split between current and long term on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2023, $2.1 million is included in Current non-qualified deferred compensation liability and $1.2 million in Non-qualified deferred compensation liability. As of December 31, 2022, $78,000 is included in Current non-qualified deferred compensation liability and $1.3 million in Non-qualified deferred compensation liability.

The fair values of the Company’s deferred compensation plan assets and liability are included in the table below. For additional information on the fair value hierarchy and the inputs used to measure fair value, see Note 5, Fair Value Measurements.

Non-qualified deferred compensation plan liability is measured at fair value based on quoted prices of identical instruments to the investment vehicles selected by the participants.

Rabbi Trust

During April 2022, we established a rabbi trust to hold the assets of the NQDC plan. The rabbi trust holds the COLI asset and the common stock from deferred RSU awards that have vested. The NQDC permits diversification of fully vested shares into other equity securities subject to a six month and one day holding period. In accordance with ASR 268, Redeemable Preferred Stock, and ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, prior to vesting, the deferred share awards are classified as an equity instrument and changes in fair value of the amount owed to the participant are not recognized. The redemption amounts of the deferred awards are based on the vested percentage and are recorded outside of permanent equity as Non-qualified deferred compensation share awards on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2023, a total of 165,399 shares awards have been deferred, and during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, a total of 87,650 awards vested. As of December 31, 2022, a total of 253,048 share awards have been deferred, and during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, a total of 17,927 awards vested. Vested shares are converted to common stock and are reclassified to permanent equity. Common stock held in the rabbi trust is classified in a manner similar to treasury stock and presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Common stock held by the NQDC plan. A total of 105,577 shares were vested at the redemption value of $892,000.

The following table summarizes the eligible share award activity as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our actual results and timing of certain events may differ materially from the results discussed, projected, anticipated, or indicated in any forward-looking statements. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods.

The following information and any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those risks identified under Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements made by us, which speak only as of the date they are made. We disclaim any obligation, except as specifically required by law and the rules of the SEC and the ASX, to publicly update or revise any such statements to reflect any change in our expectations or in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

AVITA Medical, Inc. is a regenerative medicine company leading the development and commercialization of devices and autologous cellular therapies for skin restoration. Our patented and proprietary RECELL® System technology platform harnesses the regenerative properties of a patient’s own skin to create Spray-On Skin™ Cells, an autologous skin cell suspension that is sprayed onto the patient to regenerate natural healthy skin.

Our objective is to become the leading provider of regenerative medicine addressing unmet medical needs in burn injuries, trauma injuries, and in dermatological and aesthetics indications, such as vitiligo. To achieve this objective, we plan to:

The outbreak of the global pandemic and the associated response measures implemented by governments and businesses around the world, as well as subsequent accelerated and robust recovery in global business activity, have increased uncertainty in the business environment. These macroeconomic environment implications, including supply chain shortages, increased cost of healthcare, increased inflation rates, competitive and tight labor market, and other related global economic conditions and geopolitical conditions, remain unknown. Additionally, there have been various economic indicators that the United States economy may be entering a recession in upcoming quarters. If these conditions continue or worsen, they could adversely impact our future operating results. An economic recession could potentially impact the general business environment and the capital markets, which may have a material negative impact on our financial results.

Changes in reimbursement rates by third party payors, may place additional financial pressure on hospitals and the broader healthcare system. Healthcare institutions may take actions to mitigate any persistent pressures on their budgets and such actions could impact the future demand for our products. Geopolitical conditions may also impact our operations. Although we do not have operations in Russia or Ukraine, the continuation of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict and/or an escalation of the conflict beyond its current scope may further weaken the global economy and could result in additional inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints.

The Company began as a laboratory spin-off in the Australian State of Western Australia. The Company's former parent company, Clinical Cell Culture (“C3”), was formed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia in December 1992 and changed its name to AVITA Medical Ltd in 2008 ("AVITA Australia"). AVITA Australia’s ordinary shares originally began trading in Australia on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) on August 9, 1993. AVITA Australia's American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) traded over the counter on the OTCQX under the ticker symbol “AVMXY” from May 14, 2012, through September 30, 2019, and its ADSs began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on October 1, 2019, under the ticker symbol “RCEL”.

On June 29, 2020, AVITA Australia implemented a statutory scheme of arrangement under Australian law to effect a redomiciliation of AVITA Medical from Australia to the United States (the “Redomiciliation”). The Redomiciliation was approved by stockholders on June 15, 2020 and approved by the Federal Court of Australia on June 22, 2020. Pursuant to the Redomiciliation, all ordinary shares in AVITA Australia were exchanged for shares of common stock in the Company (AVITA Medical, Inc.). As a result, the Company became the sole stockholder of AVITA Australia.

The Company’s CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) are quoted on the ASX under AVITA Australia’s former ASX ticker code, “AVH”. The Company’s shares of common stock are quoted on Nasdaq under AVITA Australia's former Nasdaq ticker code, “RCEL”. One share of common stock on Nasdaq is equivalent to five CDIs on the ASX.

On November 8, 2021, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from June 30th to December 31st. The decision to change the fiscal year-end to a calendar year end was to align our reporting cycle more closely with how we manage our business.

Results of Operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three-months ended March 31, 2022.

The table below summarizes the results of our continuing operations for each of the periods presented (in thousands).

Total net revenues increased by 40%, or $3.0 million, to $10.6 million, compared to $7.5 million in the corresponding period in the prior year. Our commercial revenue, which excludes BARDA revenue, was $10.5 million in the three-months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $3.1 million, or 40%, compared to $7.4 million in the corresponding period in the prior year. The growth in commercial revenues was largely driven by deeper penetration within individual customer accounts along with the commencement of commercial sales with our partner COSMOTEC in Japan.

Gross profit margin increased by 8% to 84% compared to 76% in the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit margin is largely driven by increased production and lower shipping costs.

BARDA income decreased by 15%, or $0.1 million, to $0.6 million, compared to $0.7 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. BARDA income consisted of funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, under the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under ongoing USG Contract No. HHSO100201500028C. BARDA income decreased as reimbursed clinical trial expenditures decreased in the current period as soft tissue and pediatrics trial participants largely completed follow-up in 2022.

Total operating expenses increased by 22% or $3.4 million to $19.4 million, compared with $16.0 million in the corresponding period in the prior year.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 35%, or $1.7 million, to $6.5 million, compared to $4.8 million incurred in the corresponding period in the prior year. Higher costs in the current year were primarily attributed to higher salaries and benefits and commissions. The increase in salaries and benefits were primarily a result for the preparation of the commercial launch of soft tissue in July 2023. Higher commissions were directly associated with the increase in revenues.

General and administrative expenses increased by 10%, or $0.8 million, to $8.3 million, compared to $7.5 million incurred in the same period in the prior year. The increase was attributable to deferred compensation expense, severance costs and higher professional fees, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation. Increased deferred compensation expense is driven by our deferred compensation liability which generally tracks the movements in the stock market. Severance costs in the current year were due to the termination of two former executive officers. Lower stock based compensation in the current year is due to the acceleration of expense for certain performance milestones being met in the prior year, partially offset by the current period acceleration related to the termination of the two former executive officers.

Research and development expenses increased by 27%, or $1.0 million, to $4.6 million, compared to $3.6 million incurred in the same period in the prior year. The increase was a result of ongoing development of the next generation RECELL GO for preparation of Spray-On Skin Cells and additional costs associated with the deployment of a team of Medical Science Liaisons ("MSLs"). Higher costs associated with RECELL GO are driven by the planned FDA submission in June 2023. The increase in costs for MSLs is in anticipation of our soft tissue launch in July 2023. The increase was partially offset by lower clinical trial expenses for

vitiligo, soft tissue and pediatrics as trial participants largely completed follow-up in 2022 reducing the associated expenditure in the current period.

We expect to utilize cash reserves until U.S. sales of our products reach a level sufficient to fund ongoing operations. AVITA Medical has historically funded its research and development activities, and more recently its substantial investment in sales and marketing activities, through raising capital by issuing securities, and it is expected that similar funding will be obtained to provide working capital if and when required. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $28.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $49.6 million in marketable securities and believes it has sufficient cash reserves to fund operations for the next 12-months. If the Company is unable to raise capital in the future, the Company may need to curtail expenditures by scaling back certain research and development or other programs.

On March 1, 2021, the Company issued 3,214,250 shares of common stock at an offering price of $21.50 per share in a registered underwritten offering. The gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $69.1 million. AVITA Medical also benefits from cash inflows from the BARDA contract (discussed earlier in this Annual Report). We entered into the contract on September 29, 2015, and the scope has expanded through a number of amendments to the contract. The current contract period continues to December 31, 2023, with the option by BARDA to terminate earlier. The contract provided funding for the development of the RECELL System. The contract will continue to provide funding for future use of the product as a medical countermeasure to assist disaster preparedness and response in the U.S. for mass casualty events involving burn injuries.

Under the contract, BARDA has provided funding and technical support for the development of the RECELL System. BARDA funded the completion of two randomized, controlled pivotal clinical trials, as well as Compassionate Use and Continued Access programs, and development of the health economic model demonstrating the cost savings associated with the RECELL System. BARDA exercised a contract option to fund a randomized, controlled clinical trial for a pediatric early intervention study which commenced enrollment in March 2020, and closed to enrollment in June 2021, subsequent to FDA-approval of an expanded RECELL indication for use that includes treatment of pediatric patients. Currently, the BARDA contract is supporting the Company’s clinical trial in soft-tissue repair. Also included in the BARDA contract was a provision for procurement of the RECELL System under a vendor-managed inventory system to bolster emergency preparedness in the amount of $7.6 million. Further, BARDA expanded the awarded contract to provide supplemental funding of $1.6 million to support the logistics of emergency deployment of RECELL Systems for use in mass casualty or other emergency situations. We are contracted to manage this inventory of product until the federal government requests shipment or at contract termination on December 31, 2023.

On April 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC pursuant to which the Company may sell from time-to-time up to 3,799,164 shares of its common stock (the “2023 ATM Program”). The Company has not made any sales under the 2023 ATM Program, but anticipates that any proceeds from sales under the 2023 ATM Program will be used for general corporate purposes including our product development pipeline and to pursue approvals of our products for additional indications, which may include licensing arrangements.

Given the above, we believe there is presently sufficient working capital to support our committed research and development programs and other activities over the next twelve months and the Company believes it has the ability to realize its assets and pay its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented (in thousands):

Net cash used in operating activities was $9.1 million and $9.4 million during the three-months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operations was primarily resulted from a decrease in net loss compared to the prior year.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $18.8 million and net cash used in investing was $22.6 million during the three-months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in cash provided by investing activities is primarily attributable to our maturities of marketable securities, whereas in the prior year we purchased marketable securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 million and $1 thousand during the three-months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is related to proceeds from the exercises of stock options.

We aim to manage capital so that the Company continues as a going concern while also maintaining optimal returns to stockholders and benefits for other stakeholders. We also aim to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Company. We regularly review the Company’s capital structure and seek to take advantage of available opportunities to improve outcomes for the Company and its stockholders.

For the three-months ended March 31, 2023, there were no dividends paid and we have no plans to commence the payment of dividends. We have no purchase commitments or long-term contractual obligations or purchase commitments, except for lease obligations as of March 31, 2023. Refer to Note 7 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on our lease obligations. In addition, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC) 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. We have no committed plans to issue further shares on the market but will continue to assess market conditions and the Company’s cash flow requirements to ensure the Company is appropriately funded in order to pursue its various opportunities.

There is no significant external borrowing at the reporting date. Neither the Company nor any of the subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirement.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2022.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of our management, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of March 31, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), were effective.

Our disclosure controls and procedures have been formulated to ensure (i) that information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) that the information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

We are not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. We may, however, be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.

In addition to the risk factor set forth below and the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”). These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” included in our 2022 Annual Report.

The Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities could be adversely affected by bank failures or other events affecting financial institutions and could adversely affect our liquidity and financial performance.

We regularly maintain domestic cash deposits in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured banks, which exceed the FDIC insurance limits. We also maintain cash deposits in foreign banks where we operate, some of which are not insured or are only partially insured by the FDIC or other similar agencies. The failure or rumored failure of a bank, or events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance, bankruptcy, receivership or other adverse developments in the financial or credit markets impacting financial institutions, may lead to disruptions in access to our bank deposits. These disruptions may adversely impact our liquidity and financial performance. There can be no assurance that our deposits in excess of the FDIC or other comparable insurance limits will be backstopped by the U.S. or applicable foreign government, or that any bank or financial institution with which we do business will be able to obtain needed liquidity from other banks, government institutions or by acquisition in the event of a failure or liquidity crisis. As such, those funds in bank deposit accounts in excess of the standard FDIC insurance limits are uninsured and subject to the risk of bank failure.

Currently, the Company has full access to all funds in deposit accounts or other money management arrangements. The failure of any bank in which the Company deposits its funds could reduce the amount of cash the Company has available for its operations or delay its ability to access such funds. In the event of such failure, the Company may experience delays or other issues in meeting its financial obligations, the Company’s ability to access its cash and cash equivalents may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.

Future adverse developments with respect to specific financial institutions or the broader financial services industry may also lead to market-wide liquidity shortages.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
