“We continue to make progress in our commercializing efforts for sugarBEAT® in the UK and recognizing revenue from our licensee.

2Q22 Financial summary:

The rise in general and administrative expenses was driven predominantly by increased wages, as additional headcount has been added to support the operational scale up process across both our UK and U.S. teams. Increases have also been seen in insurance and advertising costs, which are considered to be directly related to the commercialization steps taken during the period. | |
| ● | Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2021 were approximately $26.8 million, as compared to $31.9 million at March 31, 2021. | |
