1. Our Business

We are a specialist biosensors company focused on commercializing a range of biosensors in oenology (wine industry), human health including oncology, coagulation, women’s health and fertility, veterinarian and environmental testing using our patented platform technology and hand-held point of use devices.

Key recent updates to our Company include:

In March 2021 the Company successfully launched its new product, the Sentia™ (Sentia) hand-held wine analyzer. Sentia measures free SO₂ levels in post-fermentation wine and other analytical tests including Malic Acid, Glucose and Fructose, Acetic Acid and Total Acid are planned to be commercialized within the next 18 months.

In December 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive Distribution Agreement with Grapeworks Pty Ltd for the distribution of our Sentia products in Australia.

In January 2021, the Company entered into a non-exclusive Distribution Agreement with Enartis Inc. to distribute Sentia products in the US.

In April 2021, the Company entered into a non-exclusive Distribution Agreement with:

● Wine & Beer Supply LLC to distribute Sentia products in the USA;

● Vines to Vintages Inc. to distribute Sentia products in Canada;

● Singularity SpA to distribute Sentia products in Chile; and

● Vicard SA to distribute Sentia products in South Africa;

In April 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive Distribution Agreement with Grapeworks NZ Limited to distribute Sentia products in New Zealand.

In April 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive license and supply agreement with Lubris BioPharma LLC to commercialize the Tn Antigen biosensor used for the detection, staging and monitoring of cancer. The Tn biosensor was developed by Deakin University (Deakin), Swinburne University of Technology (Swinburne) and The University of Wollongong (UoW) using technology supplied by Lubris.

During December 2020, the Company entered into a global exclusive license agreement with LifeScan Global Corporation to develop a biosensor test to be used for the detection and monitoring of diabetes in animals.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Key aspects of our strategy for increasing shareholder value and our plan of operations over the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 2021 include: 

● develop new applications for our technology platform in markets with commercial potential;

● enter into collaborative, strategic or distribution arrangements with industry participants with respect to the development and commercialization of our products;

● manufacture products;

● provide the necessary post-market support for our customers and partners;

● provide laboratory services for our customers and partners; and

● identify, investigate and evaluate merger and acquisition opportunities.

2. Certain Uncertainties

The coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) negatively impacted many businesses including our HRL and Xprecia Stride business during 2020.

Sales from our coagulation and HRL business have begun to recover in early 2021.

Depending on the duration of the COVID-19 crisis and continued negative impacts on economic activity, the Company might experience further negative impacts in 2021 which cannot be predicted.

3. 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 months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. 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, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K” or “Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2021. The year-end consolidated condensed balance sheets data as at December 31, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, UBS and HRL. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Universal Biosensors, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recognition of revenue, initial recognition of intangible assets, carrying value of intangible assets and their useful lives, carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, carrying value of inventory, deferred income taxes, asset retirement obligations, liabilities related to employee benefits, lease obligations and research and development tax incentive income. 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, 2020. There were no new material accounting standards issued in the fiscal first quarter of 2021 that impacted the Company.         

Net Income/(Loss) per Share and Anti-dilutive Securities

Basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share is presented in conformity with ASC 260 – Earnings per Share. Basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income/(loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the basic net income/(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 Group’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 Australian dollars (“AUD” or “A$”) for all years presented. The functional currency of HRL is Canadian Dollars (“CAD$”) for all years presented.

The consolidated condensed financial statements are presented using a reporting currency of Australian dollars.

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 year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income.

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).

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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 and cash equivalents 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 and cash equivalents 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 or cash equivalents 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 and cash equivalents. 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet 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 doubtful accounts 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 doubtful accounts, 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 is primarily represented by the estimated receivable in relation to the research and development tax incentive income.

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 3 to 10 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, include normal services, and do not include items of a capital nature.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its capital assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. In performing the review, the Company estimates undiscounted cash flows from products under development that are covered by these patents and licenses. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value, based on discounted cash flows.

Intangible Assets

The intangible assets, having finite useful lives, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Finite life intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of their contractual or useful economic lives. The intangible assets comprise of distribution rights and are amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with an indefinite life are tested for impairment at least annually and when there is an indication of impairment.

Australian Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) and Canadian Harmonized Sales Tax (“HST”)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of associated GST and HST, unless the GST and HST 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 GST and HST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST and HST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

Leases

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU No. 2016-02”), using the modified retrospective method and used the effective date as the date of initial application. As a result of this adoption, the following accounting policies were implemented or changed.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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. Currently, all of the Company’s leases have been classified as operating leases. 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 12 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 lease liabilities are classified as lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated 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 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 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.

As part of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, the Company elected the following practical expedients:

1) lease vs. non-lease components relating to the real estate asset class;

2) the short-term lease exemption; and

3) the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs under the new standard. In addition, the Company elected not to adopt the practical expedient related to hindsight.

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.

Warrants

Pursuant to a lending agreement dated December 19, 2013, UBI issued warrants entitling the holder to purchase up to an aggregate total of 4,500,000 shares of UBI’s common stock in the form of CDIs at a price of A$1.00 per share. The warrants had a term of seven years and were not exercised by the holder and have now lapsed.

The warrants issued in December 2013 had a grant fair value of US$815,655 and are included in equity. 

Revenue Recognition

The Group recognizes revenue predominantly from the sale of coagulation and wine testing devices and the provision of coagulation 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 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.
Coagulation testing services	HRL provides non-diagnostic laboratory services and performs coagulation testing 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. Standard payment terms are generally 30-60 days upon invoice date. The transaction price is fixed.
Wine testing products	Our Sentia wine analyzer is used to measure free SO₂ levels in post-fermentation wine. The performance obligation for the sale of this product 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 the individual terms contained within a customer agreement, as are the individual payment terms. The transaction price is fixed.

Interest Income

Interest income is recognized as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield and consists primarily of interest earned on cash and 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 which is an R&D entity involved in eligible R&D activities may claim research and development tax incentive income as follows:

(1) as a 43.5% refundable tax offset if aggregate turnover (which generally means an entity’s total income that it derives in the ordinary course of carrying on a business, subject to certain exclusions) of the entity is less than A$20,000,000, or

(2) as a 38.5% non-refundable tax offset if aggregate turnover of the entity is more than A$20,000,000.

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.

In the three months ended March 31, 2021 there is reasonable assurance that the aggregate turnover of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2021 will be less than A$20,000,000 and accordingly A$612,266 has been recorded as a research and development tax incentive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company will review its forecasted aggregate turnover on a quarterly basis to determine if the R&D tax offsets are refundable or captured as part of the current year income tax computation.

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

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist of costs incurred to further the Group’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.

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 also grant our employees Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Zero Priced Employee Options (“ZEPOs”). RSUs are stock awards granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. ZEPOs are stock options granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. The value of RSUs are determined and fixed on the grant date based on the Company’s stock price. The exercise price of ZEPOs is nil.

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 9.50% of each employee’s salary to standard defined contribution superannuation funds on behalf of all UBS employees. Superannuation is a compulsory savings program 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 as they become payable.

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.

Income Taxes

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.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States, Canada and Australia. Tax returns up to and including the 2019 financial year have been filed in all these jurisdictions.

Coagulation testing product sales increased by 125% during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter in 2020 due primarily to higher net sales from an existing customer (98%) and sales to new customers in the global market.

The Company benefited from a new revenue stream in 2021 following the successful launch of our Sentia, Free Sulphur Dioxide wine testing product world-wide.

Products gross margin increased during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter in 2020 due primarily to higher products volume, a different product mix and an increase in throughput.

20

More specifically, the gross profit margin was positive for both coagulation and wine testing products in the first quarter of 2021, with an increase in the gross margin on coagulation testing products during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter in 2020 due primarily to an increase in throughput.

Revenue from Services

The financial results of the coagulation testing services we provided during the respective periods are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31
	2021			2020
	A$			A$
Coagulation testing services		385,919			148,085
Cost of services		297,069			219,213
Gross profit		88,850			(71,128	)
Gross profit margin		23	%		(48%	)

Our revenue from coagulation testing services increased during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter in 2020 due primarily to new contracts being entered into by HRL, including a contract with Bayer Inc.

HRL’s operations were temporarily shut down during March 2020 which impacted its ability to generate revenue during this period. In comparison, HRL’s operations were fully operational during the first quarter of 2021. This contributed to the Company’s revenue and gross margin increase in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the equivalent period in 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion of asset retirement obligations. 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. The most comparable GAAP measure is net earnings from continuing operations. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA for the respective periods and a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31
	2021			2020
	A$			A$
Net loss	$	(1,430,309	)	$	(1,463,069	)
Interest income	$	(17,360	)	$	(139,132	)
Depreciation and amortization	$	587,894		$	630,232
Accretion expense	$	32,492			-
Adjusted EBITDA	$	(827,283	)	$	(971,969	)

The improvement in adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter in 2020 is primarily a result of a decline in interest income due to the lower amount of funds available for investment and lower interest rates and decline in depreciation due to certain fixed assets being fully written off.

21

Product Support

Product support relates to post-market technical support provided by us for the Xprecia Stride™ test devices.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

	Three Months Ended March 31
	2021		2020
	A$		A$
Depreciation:
Charged to cost of goods sold & services		60,213		57,196
Charged to other operating costs & expenses		124,209		165,081
		184,422		222,277
Amortization – charged to other operating costs and expenses		403,472		407,955
Total depreciation and amortization		587,894		630,232

Depreciation of fixed assets is based on a straight line basis over the useful life of property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is allocated to cost of goods sold and R&D based on output. The overall decline in depreciation for all periods is due to certain fixed assets being fully written off.

Amortization expense represents intangible assets amortized over their estimated useful lives. These intangible assets were acquired in September 2019 pursuant to the Siemens Acquisition and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years.

Research and Development Expenses

R&D expenditure principally reflects the effort required in product development of the tests we are developing.

The primary focus of the R&D activities during the first quarter of 2021 were developing:

● additional tests on our wine testing platform (Malic Acid, Glucose and Fructose, Acetic Acid and Total Acid); and

● UBI’s next generation PT-INR Coagulation platform

R&D expenditure increased 14% during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the previous financial year as we are undertaking development of multiple R&D projects which is expected to be launched within the next 12 to 24 months.

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.

Additionally, research and development expenses are related to the development of new technologies and products based on the electrochemical cell platform.

The Company conducts research and development activities to build an expanding portfolio of product-based revenues and cash flows and increase the value of UBI’s core technology assets. Research is focused on demonstrating technical feasibility of new technology applications. Development activity is focused on turning these technology platforms into commercial-ready products and represents the majority of the Company’s research and development expenses.

Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with research activities, as well as costs associated with our product development efforts, including pilot manufacturing costs. Research and development expenses include:

● consultant and employee related expenses, which include consulting fees, salaries and benefits;

● materials and consumables acquired for the research and development activities;

● 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.

22

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs, including stock option expense for certain personnel. Other selling, general and administrative expenses include 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 for legal including legal services and maintenance fees incurred for patent applications, audit and accounting services. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 13% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the previous financial year. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in external consultant fees.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by 88% during the three months ended March 31, 2021 when compared to the same period in the previous financial year. The decrease in interest income is generally attributable to the lower amount of funds available for investment and lower interest rates.

Financing Costs

Disclosed in this account is accretion expense which is associated with the Company’s ARO.

Research and Development Tax Incentive Income

In the three months ended March 31, 2021 there is reasonable assurance that the aggregate turnover of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2021 will be less than A$20,000,000 and accordingly an estimated A$612,266 has been recorded as research and development tax incentive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase year on year is driven by the increase in eligible research and development expenditure incurred in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020.

Research and development tax incentive income for the 2020 financial year has not yet been received and as such is recorded in “Other current assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Exchange Gain

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.

Other Income

Other income is as follows for the relevant periods:

	Three Months Ended March 31
	2021		2020
	A$		A$
Insurance recovery		1,175		600,000
Federal and state government subsidies		82,992		-
Rental income		45,600		48,534
Other income		135,450		-
		265,217		648,534

23

Insurance recovery for the three months ended March 31, 2020 represents A$600,000 as partial reimbursement of our legal costs which was incurred during mediation with Siemens.

Federal and state government subsidies which primarily include Australian JobKeeper payments and Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, represent assistance provided by these authorities as a stimulus during COVID-19.

Certain Uncertainties

The coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) negatively impacted many businesses including our HRL and Xprecia Stride business during 2020.

Sales from our coagulation and HRL business have begun to recover in early 2021.

Depending on the duration of the COVID-19 crisis and continued negative impacts on economic activity, the Company might experience further negative impacts in 2021 which cannot be predicted.

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. 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.  

Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 3 of the 2020 Form 10-K, and “Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments” in Item 7 of the 2020 Form 10-K describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates since the 2020 Form 10-K. 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Financial Assets

Our net financial assets position is shown below:

	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
	A$		A$
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents		20,708,983		23,561,807
Accounts receivable		639,769		73,073
Total financial assets		21,348,752		23,634,880
Debt:
Short and long term debt/ loan		62,539		40,741
Total debt		62,539		40,741
Net financial assets		21,286,213		23,594,139

24

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 long-term loan.

The decline in our net financial assets position is primarily a result of ongoing investment in our R&D activities and the general operations of the Company.

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. 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 of Directors.

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. There were no impairments recognized as at March 31, 2021 or for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company is continuing to monitor the potential impact of COVID-19, if any, on the Company’s business and financial position.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities 

We had no derivatives or outstanding contracts in place through the period ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Measures of Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table provides certain relevant measures of liquidity and capital resources:

	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
	A$		A$
Cash and cash equivalents		20,708,983		23,561,807
Working capital		21,562,665		22,433,054
Ratio of current assets to current liabilities		3.63 : 1		3.44 : 1
Shareholders’ equity per common share		0.21		0.21

The movement in cash and cash equivalents and working capital during the above periods was primarily the result of ongoing investment in our R&D activities and the general operations of the Company.

We have not identified any collection issues with respect to receivables.

Summary of Cash Flows

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2021			Year Ended December 31, 2020
	A$			A$
Cash provided by/ (used in):
Operating activities		(3,229,907	)		(8,291,139	)
Investing activities		(150,573	)		(372,204	)
Financing activities		22,545			43,644
Net increase/ (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		(3,357,935	)		(8,619,699	)

Our net cash provided by 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. Key outflows of cash in operating activities were in relation to insurance which was prepaid for the twelve month period ending 31 December 2021.

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.

Our net cash increase in financing activities represents CAD$20,000 received in the form of a long-term unsecured government guaranteed loan which was introduced in the Canadian Federal Government’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.

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

months ended

March 31, 2021

are

not

necessarily indicative of the results that

may

be expected for the year ending

December 31, 2021.

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, 2020 (

the

“2020

Form

10

-K” or “Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on

February 24, 2021.

The year-end consolidated condensed balance sheets data as at

December 31, 2020

was derived from audited financial statements but does

not

include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, UBS and HRL. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recognition of revenue, initial recognition of intangible assets, carrying value of intangible assets and their useful lives, carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, carrying value of inventory, deferred income taxes, asset retirement obligations, liabilities related to employee benefits, lease obligations and research and development tax incentive income. 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,

2020.

There were

no

new material accounting standards issued in the fiscal

first

quarter of

2021

that impacted the Company.         

Net Income/(Loss) per Share and Anti-dilutive Securities

Basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share is presented in conformity with ASC

260

– Earnings per Share. Basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income/(loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the basic net income/(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 Group'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 Australian dollars (“AUD” or “A$”) for all years presented. The functional currency of HRL is Canadian Dollars (“CAD$”) for all years presented.

The consolidated condensed financial statements are presented using a reporting currency of Australian dollars.

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 year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income.

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 and cash equivalents 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 and cash equivalents 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 or cash equivalents 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 and cash equivalents. 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet 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 doubtful accounts 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 doubtful accounts, 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 is primarily represented by the estimated receivable in relation to the research and development tax incentive income.

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

3

to

10

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, include normal services, and do

not

include items of a capital nature.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its capital assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets

may

not

be fully recoverable. In performing the review, the Company estimates undiscounted cash flows from products under development that are covered by these patents and licenses. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value of an asset is

not

recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value, based on discounted cash flows.

Intangible Assets

The intangible assets, having finite useful lives, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Finite life intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of their contractual or useful economic lives. The intangible assets comprise of distribution rights and are amortized on a straight-line basis over

10

years.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with an indefinite life are tested for impairment at least annually and when there is an indication of impairment.

Australian Goods and Services Tax (

“

GST

”

) and Canadian Harmonized Sales Tax (

“

HST

”

)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of associated GST and HST, unless the GST and HST 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 GST and HST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST and HST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

Leases

On

January 1, 2020,

the Company adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

No.

2016

-

02,

“Leases (Topic

842

)” (“ASU

No.

2016

-

02”

), using the modified retrospective method and used the effective date as the date of initial application. As a result of this adoption, the following accounting policies were implemented or changed.

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. Currently, all of the Company's leases have been classified as operating leases. 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

12

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 lease liabilities are classified as lease liabilities in the Company's consolidated 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 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 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.

As part of the adoption of ASU

No.

2016

-

02,

the Company elected the following practical expedients:

1 ) lease vs. non-lease components relating to the real estate asset class;

2 ) the short-term lease exemption; and

3 ) the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs under the new standard. In addition, the Company elected not to adopt the practical expedient related to hindsight.

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.

Warrants

Pursuant to a lending agreement dated

December 19, 2013,

UBI issued warrants entitling the holder to purchase up to an aggregate total of

4,500,000

shares of UBI's common stock in the form of CDIs at a price of

A$1.00

per share. The warrants had a term of

seven

years and were

not

exercised by the holder and have now lapsed.

The warrants issued in

December 2013

had a grant fair value of

US$815,655

and are included in equity. 

Revenue Recognition

The Group recognizes revenue predominantly from the sale of coagulation and wine testing devices and the provision of coagulation 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 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.
Coagulation testing services	HRL provides non-diagnostic laboratory services and performs coagulation testing 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. Standard payment terms are generally 30 - 60 days upon invoice date.

Interest Income

Interest income is recognized as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield and consists primarily of interest earned on cash and 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 which is an R&D entity involved in eligible R&D activities

may

claim research and development tax incentive income as follows:

( 1 ) as a 43.5% refundable tax offset if aggregate turnover (which generally means an entity's total income that it derives in the ordinary course of carrying on a business, subject to certain exclusions) of the entity is less than A$20,000,000, or

( 2 ) as a 38.5% non-refundable tax offset if aggregate turnover of the entity is more than A$20,000,000.

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.

In the

three

months ended

March 31, 2021

there is reasonable assurance that the aggregate turnover of the Company for the year ending

December 31, 2021

will be less than

A$20,000,000

and accordingly

A$612,266

has been recorded as a research and development tax incentive income for the

three

months ended

March 31, 2021.

The Company will review its forecasted aggregate turnover on a quarterly basis to determine if the R&D tax offsets are refundable or captured as part of the current year income tax computation.

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

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist of costs incurred to further the Group'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.

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 also grant our employees Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Zero Priced Employee Options (“ZEPOs”). RSUs are stock awards granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. ZEPOs are stock options granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. The value of RSUs are determined and fixed on the grant date based on the Company's stock price. The exercise price of ZEPOs is

nil.

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

9.50%

of each employee's salary to standard defined contribution superannuation funds on behalf of all UBS employees. Superannuation is a compulsory savings program 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 as they become payable.

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.

Income Taxes

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.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States, Canada and Australia. Tax returns up to and including the

2019

financial year have been filed in all these jurisdictions.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, UBS and HRL. 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 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recognition of revenue, initial recognition of intangible assets, carrying value of intangible assets and their useful lives, carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, carrying value of inventory, deferred income taxes, asset retirement obligations, liabilities related to employee benefits, lease obligations and research and development tax incentive income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Net Income/(Loss) per Share and Anti-dilutive Securities

Basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share is presented in conformity with ASC

260

– Earnings per Share. Basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income/(loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the basic net income/(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 Group'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 Australian dollars (“AUD” or “A$”) for all years presented. The functional currency of HRL is Canadian Dollars (“CAD$”) for all years presented.

The consolidated condensed financial statements are presented using a reporting currency of Australian dollars.

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 year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income.

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, 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:

● 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).

Cash and cash equivalents 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 and cash equivalents 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 or cash equivalents 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 and cash equivalents. 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet 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 doubtful accounts 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 doubtful accounts, 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 is primarily represented by the estimated receivable in relation to the research and development tax incentive income.

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

3

to

10

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, 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 capital assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets

may

not

be fully recoverable. In performing the review, the Company estimates undiscounted cash flows from products under development that are covered by these patents and licenses. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value of an asset is

not

recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value, based on discounted cash flows.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Intangible Assets

The intangible assets, having finite useful lives, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Finite life intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of their contractual or useful economic lives. The intangible assets comprise of distribution rights and are amortized on a straight-line basis over

10

years.

Impairment of Intangible Assets [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with an indefinite life are tested for impairment at least annually and when there is an indication of impairment.

Goods and Services Tax [Policy Text Block]

Australian Goods and Services Tax (

“

GST

”

) and Canadian Harmonized Sales Tax (

“

HST

”

)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of associated GST and HST, unless the GST and HST 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 GST and HST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST and HST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]

Leases

On

January 1, 2020,

the Company adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

No.

2016

-

02,

“Leases (Topic

842

)” (“ASU

No.

2016

-

02”

), using the modified retrospective method and used the effective date as the date of initial application. As a result of this adoption, the following accounting policies were implemented or changed.

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. Currently, all of the Company's leases have been classified as operating leases. 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

12

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 lease liabilities are classified as lease liabilities in the Company's consolidated 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 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 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.

As part of the adoption of ASU

No.

2016

-

02,

the Company elected the following practical expedients:

1 ) lease vs. non-lease components relating to the real estate asset class;

2 ) the short-term lease exemption; and

3 ) the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs under the new standard. In addition, the Company elected not to adopt the practical expedient related to hindsight.

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.

Warrants [Policy Text Block]

Warrants

Pursuant to a lending agreement dated

December 19, 2013,

UBI issued warrants entitling the holder to purchase up to an aggregate total of

4,500,000

shares of UBI's common stock in the form of CDIs at a price of

A$1.00

per share. The warrants had a term of

seven

years and were

not

exercised by the holder and have now lapsed.

The warrants issued in

December 2013

had a grant fair value of

US$815,655

and are included in equity. 

Revenue [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

The Group recognizes revenue predominantly from the sale of coagulation and wine testing devices and the provision of coagulation 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 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.
Coagulation testing services	HRL provides non-diagnostic laboratory services and performs coagulation testing 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. Standard payment terms are generally 30 - 60 days upon invoice date. The transaction price is fixed.
Wine testing products	Our Sentia wine analyzer is used to measure free SO₂ levels in post-fermentation wine. The performance obligation for the sale of this product 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 the individual terms contained within a customer agreement, as are the individual payment terms. The transaction price is fixed.

See Note

11

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 primarily of interest earned on cash and 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 which is an R&D entity involved in eligible R&D activities

may

claim research and development tax incentive income as follows:

( 1 ) as a 43.5% refundable tax offset if aggregate turnover (which generally means an entity's total income that it derives in the ordinary course of carrying on a business, subject to certain exclusions) of the entity is less than A$20,000,000, or

( 2 ) as a 38.5% non-refundable tax offset if aggregate turnover of the entity is more than A$20,000,000.

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.

In the

three

months ended

March 31, 2021

there is reasonable assurance that the aggregate turnover of the Company for the year ending

December 31, 2021

will be less than

A$20,000,000

and accordingly

A$612,266

has been recorded as a research and development tax incentive income for the

three

months ended

March 31, 2021.

The Company will review its forecasted aggregate turnover on a quarterly basis to determine if the R&D tax offsets are refundable or captured as part of the current year income tax computation.

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

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist of costs incurred to further the Group'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.

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 also grant our employees Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Zero Priced Employee Options (“ZEPOs”). RSUs are stock awards granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. ZEPOs are stock options granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. The value of RSUs are determined and fixed on the grant date based on the Company's stock price. The exercise price of ZEPOs is

nil.

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

9.50%

of each employee's salary to standard defined contribution superannuation funds on behalf of all UBS employees. Superannuation is a compulsory savings program 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 as they become payable.

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.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

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.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States, Canada and Australia. Tax returns up to and including the

2019

financial year have been filed in all these jurisdictions.
