Management Commentary

 

“The most significant event on our financial results during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, was our generation of over $100,000 in revenues from the commercialization and sale of our primary product, Spryng™, to veterinary clinics.” Said John Lai, Chief Executive Officer of PetVivo.

 

“We continue to use the proceeds from our initial public offering to expand our sales and marketing efforts to generate clinical data to gain vet acceptance and generate increased revenue from the sale of Spryng™”.

 

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”) Compared to The Year Ended March 31, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”)

 

Total Revenues. Revenues increased to $115,586 in fiscal 2022 compared to $12,578 in fiscal 2021 and consisted of sales to veterinary clinics. The Company began commercialization of its Spryng™ product in September 2021.

 

Total Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $201,154 in fiscal 2022 compared to $10,695 for fiscal 2021. The increase is directly related to increased sales of the Spryng™ product. Cost of sales includes product costs related to the sale of products and labor and overhead costs. The increase and the negative gross margin are primarily attributed to our product costs and related product launch expenses from the commercialization of Spryng™ in September 2021.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased to $4,970,960 in fiscal 2022 compared to $1,960,871 in fiscal 2021. Operating expenses consisted of general and administrative, sales and marketing, and research and development expenses. The increase is primarily due to increased G&A expenses and sales and marketing expenses related to the sale of our Spryng™ product.

 

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $3,148,494 and $1,767,664 in fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. General and administrative expenses include compensation and benefits, contracted services, consulting fees, stock compensation and incremental public company costs.
