Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS GBS Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, GBS Operations Inc. formed on December 5, 2016 under the laws of the state of Delaware. Glucose Biosensor Systems (Greater China) Pty Ltd (“GBSPL”) was formed on August 4, 2016 under the laws of New South Wales, Australia and was renamed to GBS (APAC) Pty Ltd on October 14, 2020. Glucose Biosensor Systems (Japan) Pty Ltd and Glucose Biosensor Systems (APAC) Pty Ltd were formed under the laws of New South Wales, Australia on February 22, 2017 and February 23, 2017 respectively. These companies (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company,”) were formed to provide a non-invasive, pain free innovation to make it easier for people to manage diabetes using the Company’s Saliva Glucose Biosensor (“SGB” and, together with the software app that interfaces the SGB with the Company’s digital information system, the “SGT”). Our headquarters are located in New York. We are a biosensor diagnostic technology company operating across the Asia-Pacific Region (“APAC Region”) and an interest in the USA Region with the biosensor platform comprising of biochemistry, immunology, tumor markers, hormones, and nucleic acid diagnostic modalities, and worldwide with our COV2 test. Our objective is to introduce and launch initially the SGB, the diagnostic test that stems from the Biosensor Platform that we license from Life Science Biosensor Diagnostics Pty Ltd (“LSBD” or “Licensor”), in our regions and the COV2 test globally. This will be followed by developing the platform to its full capacity testing across the diagnostic modalities of immunology, hormones, chemistry, tumor markers and nucleic acid tests. GBS Inc, is a 29.9 % (as of September 30, 2021) owned affiliate of LSBD, an Australian company that owns the worldwide intellectual property rights to the biosensor platform from University of Newcastle, Australia. LSBD has licensed to the Company that technology to introduce and launch the platform in the APAC Region. NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of the financial statements are issued. In each reporting period, including interim periods, an entity is required to assess conditions known and reasonably knowable as of the financial statement issuance date to determine whether it is probable an entity will not meet its financial obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable the entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The Company is an emerging growth company and has not generated any revenues to date. As such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future until such time, if at all, the Company completes the development process of its products, including regulatory approvals, and thereafter, begins to commercialize and achieve substantial acceptance in the marketplace for the first of a series of products in its medical device portfolio. The Company incurred a net loss of $ 1,432,652 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 (net loss of $ 1,072,510 for the three months ended September 30, 2020). At September 30, 2021, the Company has shareholders’ equity of $ 13,501,299 , working capital of $ 13,027,563 , and an accumulated deficit of $ 24,302,455 . In the near future, the Company anticipates incurring operating losses and does not expect to experience positive cash flows from operating activities and may continue to incur operating losses until it completes the development of its products and seeks regulatory approvals to market such products. 7 The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company believes it has sufficient working capital to finance its operations for at least the next twelve months, as such, these financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods, in the opinion of the Company’s management, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2022. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 16, 2021 and amended on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on September 30, 2021 (as amended, the “2021 Form 10-K”). Principles of consolidation These accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and, when applicable, variable interest entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates where the Company does not exert a controlling financial interest are not consolidated. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to current period presentation within the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. Revenue recognition Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by delivering the promised goods or service deliverables to the customers. A good or service deliverable is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service deliverable. Research and Development (R & D) tax refund The Company measures the research and development grant income and receivable by considering the time spent by employees on eligible research and development activities and research and development costs incurred to external service providers. The research and development tax refund receivable is recognized as the Company believes that it probable that the amount will be recovered in full through a future claim. No research and development tax refund income is recognized in current and comparative period. 8 Foreign currency translation Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated from local (functional) currency to reporting currency (U.S. dollar) at the rate of exchange in effect on the consolidated balance sheets date; income and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. The functional currency of GBS Inc. is the United States dollar. Foreign currency movements resulted in a loss of $ 67,482 and $ 50,568 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Income taxes In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 740, Income Taxes , tax positions initially need to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not that the positions will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. It also provides guidance for de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualified for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company had no interest and penalties related to income taxes. Licensing rights During the first quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30 2020, the Company purchased the license right procurement assets from LSBD for an amount of $ 976,308 in relation to the development and approval process for the Glucose Biosensor Technology. The Company recorded the license at the historical carrying value in the books of LSBD which was $ nil and recorded the amount paid as a deemed dividend. The Company has agreed to pay royalties of sales & milestones payments as defined. On September 12, 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated license agreement for Saliva Biosensor Technology. On June 23, 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement with LSBD for the worldwide rights to SARS-CoV – 2 application of the Saliva Glucose Biosensor. In relation to these licenses, there is no set expiration date for the license. However, the exclusivity of the license granted under the license agreement runs until the expiration of the patent portfolio covered by the agreement which is currently until 2033. No royalties have been incurred through to September 30,2021 (September 30, 2020: $nil). On March 31, 2021, GBS entered into an agreement with LSBD to provide GBS an option to acquire an exclusive license to use LSBD’s intellectual property in the Saliva Glucose Biosensor in North America (the “Option Agreement”). The Option Agreement has a term of two years and the exercise price for the option is $ 5 million. The fee of $ 0.5 million incurred for the option was expensed in the period incurred. Deferred grant income On June 30, 2021, GBS executed a definitive grant agreement with the Australian Government to assist with building a manufacturing facility. The grant has a total value of up to $ 4.7 million upon the achievement of certain milestones. Proceeds from the grant will be used primarily to reimburse GBS for costs incurred in the construction of the manufacturing facility. Accounting for the grant does not fall under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as the Australian Government will not benefit directly from our manufacturing facility. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP on accounting for grants to for-profit business entities, we applied International Accounting Standards 20 (“IAS 20”), Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance by analogy when accounting for the Australian Government grant to GBS. 9 The Australian Government grant proceeds will be used to reimburse construction costs incurred meet the definition of grants related to assets as the primary purpose for the payments is to fund the construction of a capital asset. Under IAS 20, government grants related to assets are presented in the statement of financial position either by setting up the grant as deferred income or by deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset. Either of these two methods of presentation of grants related to assets in financial statements are regarded as acceptable alternatives under IAS 20. We have elected to record the grants received as deferred income using the first method. Under IAS 20, government grants are initially recognized when there is reasonable assurance the conditions of the grant will be met and the grant will be received. As of June 30, 2021, management concluded that there was reasonable assurance the grant conditions will be met and all milestone payment received. The total grant value of $ 4.7 million was recognized as both a grant receivable and deferred grant income on the grant effective date. The grant receivable was reduced by $ 1.9 million for payments received during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $ 2.7 million remains in grant receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. After initial recognition, under IAS 20, government grants are recognized in earnings on a systematic basis in a manner that mirrors the manner in which the Company recognizes the underlying costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Further, IAS 20 permits for recognition in earnings either separately under a general heading such as other income, or as a reduction of the cost of the asset. The Company has elected to recognize government grant income separately within other income. Accordingly, the deferred income related to the construction of the manufacturing facility will be amortized over the period of depreciation for the related factory as other income. No deferred grant income was recognized in other income during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net loss per share attributable to common shareholders (“EPS”) The Company calculates earnings per share attributable to common shareholders in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earning Per Share . Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares, such as share warrants. Potentially dilutive common shares shall be calculated in accordance with the treasury share method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all warrants are used to repurchase common share at market value. The number of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. As the Company has incurred net losses in all periods, certain potentially dilutive securities, including convertible preferred stock, warrants to acquire common stock, and convertible notes payable have been excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share as the effects are antidilutive. Recent accounting pronouncements As the Company is an emerging growth company, we have elected to defer the adoption of new accounting pronouncements until they would apply to private companies. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that is within the scope of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and treasury stock method will be no longer available. ASU 2020-06 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has not early adopted and continues to evaluate the impact of the provisions of ASU 2020-06. 10 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). This update requires all leases with a term greater than 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet through a right-of-use asset and a lease liability and the disclosure of key information pertaining to leasing arrangements. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim period within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 as amended by ASU 2020-05 with early adoption permitted. The Company has not early adopted the standard and continues to evaluate the impact. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 as of July 1, 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. In 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 (Topic ASC 326); Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which (i) significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model which will be based on an estimate of current expected credit loss (CECL) (ASC 326-20); and (ii) provides for recording credit losses on available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities through an allowance account (ASC 326-30). The standard also requires certain incremental disclosures. Subsequently, the FASB issued several ASUs to clarify, improve, or defer the adoption of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13, as amended by ASU 2019-10, is applicable for SRCs (Small Reporting Companies) for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not early adopted the standard and continues to evaluate the impact. NOTE 4. OTHER CURRENT ASSETS Other current assets consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF OTHER CURRENT ASSETS September 30, 2021 June 30, 2021 Goods and services tax receivable $ — $ 83,278 Prepayments 2,259,975 2,424,143 Other receivables 8,796 1,596 Total $ 2,268,771 $ 2,509,017 As of the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company made $ 2,600,000 in prepayments for research and development. Of the total prepayments, $ 504,000 is recorded as a non-current asset based on the expected outflow of the budgeted research and development costs. Under the terms of a research and development agreement with BiosensX North America Inc., dated April 20, 2021, in which LSBD also committed to fund $ 2,600,000 as a direct 50 % shareholder in BiosensX North America Inc., the Company would have the right to apply any differences in contributions between LSBD and the Company towards any amounts owing between the Company and LSBD, including the exercise price of the Option ($ 5 million) as included in the Option Agreement dated March 31, 2021 with LSBD (see Note 3). No expense has been recognized in relation to prepaid research and development during the three months ended September 30, 2021. NOTE 5.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS Sales to and purchases from related parties are made in arm’s length transactions both at normal market prices and on normal commercial terms. The following transactions occurred with LSBD during the period July 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021. The Company incurred a total of $ 119,652 (three months to September 2020: $ Nil ) towards overhead cost reimbursement which includes salaries, rents and other related overheads directly attributable to the Company which are included in general and administration expenses. NOTE 8. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE On May 29, 2020, LSBD, issued 14,000,000 common shares of BiosensX (North America) Inc. to the Company at par value of $ 0.001 per share. This transaction provided the Company with a 50 % interest in BiosensX (North America) Inc., the holder of the technology license for the North America region. The investment in BiosensX (North America) Inc. is accounted for by use of the equity method in accordance with ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures . At the date of this transaction, LSBD was the parent of both the Company and BiosensX (North America) Inc., the transfer of BiosensX shares to the Company was deemed to be a common control transaction. As a result of the share transfer, the Company has significant influence over BiosensX (North America) Inc. but, in accordance with ASC 810 Consolidation , LSBD is deemed to have control over BiosensX (North America) Inc. due to its direct ownership of 50% in BiosensX (North America) Inc. and indirect ownership of 50% in BiosensX (North America) Inc. through GBS Inc. As of September 30, 2021, LSBD holds 29.9 % of common Stock of GBS Inc. and therefore still has control over BiosensX (North America) Inc.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES On January 21, 2021, the Company entered into a sponsored research agreement with Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to accelerate the development of next-generation saliva-based diagnostic tests. The Company is collaborating with the Bloomberg School of Public Health to optimize the collection of saliva and monitoring of diverse biomarkers across a number of modalities including clinical chemistry and infectious diseases. Johns Hopkins intend to utilize biosensor products to conduct in-field epidemiological studies. The Company agreed to pay Johns Hopkins a total amount of $ 423,589 as a part of this sponsored research agreement of which $ 105,897 remains payable as of September 30, 2021. During February 2021 the Company signed a deed of confirmation and variation with the University of Newcastle for the research and development of the Saliva Glucose Biosensor and the SARS-COV-2 Antibody Biosensor. The Company agreed to pay the University of Newcastle $ 2,054,880 of which $ 841,913 remains payable as of September 30, 2021. The Company has no material future minimum lease commitments or purchase commitments. From time to time, the Company may become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, the Company is not involved in any pending or threatened legal proceedings that it believes could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, legal matters are inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot guarantee that the outcome of any potential legal matter will be favorable to the Company. 12 NOTE 10. INCOME TAX The Company shall file its income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and Australian Taxation Office. The Company has net operating losses carried forward of $ 29,590,918 which are derived from its operations in Australia and the US and are available to reduce future taxable income. Such loss carry forwards may be carried forward indefinitely, subject to compliance with tests of continuity and additional rules. The net operating loss carried forward gives rise to a deferred tax asset of approximately $ 7,219,880 . However, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance of $ 7,219,880 against such deferred tax asset is necessary, as it cannot be determined that the carry forwards will be utilized. NOTE 11. LOSS PER SHARE Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock or common stock equivalents outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. SCHEDULE OF BASIC LOSS PER COMMON SHARE POTENTIAL DILUTIVE SECURITIES 2021 2020 Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 Net loss attributable to GBS, Inc. $ ( 1,432,652 ) $ ( 1,072,510 ) Basic and diluted net loss per share attributed to common shareholders $ ( 0.10 ) $ ( 0.12 ) Weighted-average number of shares outstanding 14,006,127 8,630,000 The following outstanding warrants and preferred shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive: SCHEDULE OF ANTI-DILUTIVE WARRANTS Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 Warrants - Series A 1,401,377 - Warrants - Series B 59,782 - Warrants issued to underwriters 63,529 - Pre IPO warrants 2,736,675 2,250,376 Warrants issued to LSBD 3,000,000 - Preferred stock - Series A - 2,810,190 13 ITEM 2.

Overview We are a company with a mission to commercialize our unique Biosensor Platform technology and put the power of non-invasive, real-time diagnostic testing in the hands of patients and their primary health practitioners at point of care. We are 29.9% (as of September 30, 2021) owned by LSBD, an Australian company that owns the worldwide intellectual property rights to the biosensor platform acquired from University of Newcastle, Australia. LSBD has licensed to us that technology to introduce and launch the platform in the APAC Region, the world license for the SARS CoV-2 Antibody Sensor, and furthermore we own 50% of BiosensX (North America) Inc which has the North American license to the biosensor platform. We were incorporated under the laws of Delaware on December 5, 2016. Our headquarter is in New York. Our initial priority is to develop & launch two urgently needed non-invasive real time diagnostic tests, a. the Saliva Glucose Biosensor and the b. SARS-COV-2 Antibody Biosensor 14 Saliva Glucose Test The Saliva Glucose Biosensor (“SGB”), together with the software app that interfaces the SGB with the Company’s digital information system, the “SGT” is aimed to provide a non-invasive and pain free innovation. ● Managing Diabetes Our innovative technology will aim to free people living with diabetes from having to use painful and invasive blood monitoring devices to manage their condition, giving them a better quality of life. ● Printable The SGB is being developed as a small, printable organic strip designed to put the power of accurate, timely diagnosis in the hands of patients and their primary health practitioners. This is manufactured using modified reel-to-reel printing technology which allows mass volume printing at a low cost. ● Clinical Plan The proposed three stage clinical plan currently involves o generation of prospective data from the recruitment of 20-40 patients. The initial objective is to explore the relationship between salivary glucose and plasma glucose as well as the time course between the two. o the development of the algorithm between plasma and salivary glucose. o to confirm the algorithm and generate data for regulatory submission. Accordingly, GBS filed a Pre-Submission package on behalf of the group with the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The purpose of this pre-submission is to confirm with the FDA that GBS is following the proper steps to conduct the clinical studies enabling it to develop the glucose biosensor according to the FDA regulatory standards. ● Commercialization Progress o On July 26 2021 we announced that we have engaged L.E.K Consulting Hong Kong Pty Limited to identify potential commercial partners in the in the China region. A short list of potential distributors that have a potential interest in the test has been identified, and discussions will commence shortly to explore potential synergies. o As announced previously, GBS was awarded $4.7m Australian Federal Government Science Grant for the establishment of an Australian high-tech medical device manufacturing facility. We are currently in the process finalizing the specifications of the proposed initial batch of equipment for commissioning in Q4 2021 / Q1 2022 COVID Test A clinical validation study was conducted at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University. The objective of this study was to develop an electrochemical assay to detect SARS-CoV-2 IgG in human plasma. The statistical design of the study was powered in accordance with this study objective. Preliminary findings were: o The SARS-CoV-2 Antibody biosensor assay was 100% sensitive and 100% specific using positive and negative SARS CoV-2 human plasma samples. o The time in obtaining results was less than 10 minutes. The study is a key milestone towards validating a rapid point-of-care diagnostic test intended to quantify the measurement of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in saliva, and will assist in the preparation for clinical trials. ● Potential Applications We anticipate there to be 3 different applications for the foreseeable future: Population Screening SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing is urgently needed to estimate the incidence and prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection at the general population level. i. Post vaccination screening - To assess the degree of the elicited potent antigen-specific antibody responses, to COV2 vaccines and determine when booster vaccine shots are needed. ii. Diagnosis – The SARS-CoV-2 test can be used as a complement to the (RNA) virus detection tests for patients presenting late after symptoms onset to healthcare facilities. iii. In addition, they can potentially be used for informing the decision on discharge of patients who recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection but remain RNA-positive by RT-PCR for a long time after symptoms have subsided. The degree of protective immunity conferred by or correlated with the antibodies detected in subjects with past SARS-CoV-2 infection is still under investigation. Once this is clarified, the COV 2 antibody tests could be, together with the (RNA) direct virus detection, an essential tool in de-escalation strategies. Currently antibody tests are used for sero-epidemiological surveys and studies. 15 ● Competitive Advantages Based on a recent paper publicly available and authored by the team at Johns Hopkins Department of Environmental Health and Engineering, Bloomberg School of Public Health, results indicate it is feasible to accurately measure the salivary IgG response to identify individuals with a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. A saliva-based approach could serve as a non-invasive approach for accurate and large-scale SARS-CoV-2 “sero”-surveillance. A saliva antibody test can greatly increase the scale of testing—particularly among susceptible populations—compared to blood and could clarify population immunity and susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2. The team at John Hopkins further demonstrated in the laboratory that when saliva was collected ≥10 days post symptom onset, the anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG assay detects SARS-CoV-2 infection with 100% sensitivity and 99% specificity. In addition, the team demonstrated that the temporal kinetics of SARS CoV-2-specific IgG responses in saliva are consistent with those observed in serum and indicate that most individuals seroconvert approximately 10 days after COVID-19 symptom onset or approximately two weeks post-presumed infection. By utilizing the Saliva test for detecting COV2 we expect to have lower detection limits, improve on sensitivity and specificity characteristics of current diagnostic methods, be able to provide real time results at the point of care and provide quantitative results correlated to the WHO standards as opposed to negative or positive which is how other POCT report the results. Our COVID test would increase the scope for diagnosis to be made in the community and outside the laboratory setting. It would have the potential to reduce the time to obtaining an actionable result, it could inform on when people need to get booster vaccine shots and inform appropriate use of isolation resources. Our Company has not generated any revenues to date. As such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future until such time, if at all, the Company completes the development process of its products, including regulatory approvals, and thereafter, begins to commercialize and achieve substantial acceptance in the marketplace for the first of a series of products in its medical device portfolio. Initial public offering On December 28, 2020, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and sold 1,270,589 units, consisting of (a) one share of the Company’s common stock (or, at the purchaser’s election, one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock), (b) one Series A warrant (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $8.50 per share, exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date, and (c) one Series B warrant (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $17.00 per share, exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date and subject to certain adjustment and cashless exercise provisions. The public offering price of the shares sold in the IPO was $17.00 per unit. In aggregate, the units issued in the offering generated $17,732,448 in net proceeds, which amount is net of $1,714,001 in underwriters’ discount and commissions, and $2,153,564 in offering costs. Offering costs include underwriters’ warrants to acquire up to 63,529 shares with an exercise price of $18.70 per share, exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The Company also issued to the underwriter an option, exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, to purchase up to 190,588 additional shares of common stock and/or Series A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 190,588 shares of common stock and/or Series B Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 190,588 shares of common stock, in any combinations thereof, from us at the public offering price per security, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, for 45 days after the date of the IPO to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”). Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of preferred stock then outstanding were automatically converted into 2,810,190 shares of common stock, and all convertible notes then outstanding were automatically converted into 710,548 shares of common stock. Certain pre-IPO preferred shareholders were issued warrants that, following the Company’s completed IPO, allow the holders to acquire 2,736,675 shares of common stock at the IPO price during year two through to year three following the completion of the IPO. Results of Operations: Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 Revenue Government support income Government support income decreased by $55,427 to zero from $55,427 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to GBS Inc.’s subsidiary companies receiving COVID-19 related government support in the previous financial year which was discontinued in April 2021. 16 Operating expenses General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses increased by $811,517 to $1,332,520 from $521,003 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in operational activities following completion of the IPO in December 2020. As the Company’s operating activities increase, we expect its general and administrative costs will include additional costs in overhead contribution, consultancy, as well as an increase in employee related costs associated with a higher headcount. Development and regulatory expenses Development and regulatory expenses increased by $75,861 to $106,799 from $30,938 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This increase is primarily driven by funding availability since completion of the IPO in December 2020 that has allowed the Company to progress on its milestones. As the Company’s operating activities increase, we expect its development and regulatory expenses to increase in future periods. Prospectus and capital raising expenses Prospectus and capital raising expenses decreased from $166,481 to zero for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was attributable to final expenditures required by us in the first half of the last financial year to successfully complete our IPO in December 2020. Other income and expenses Interest expense Interest expense decreased from $85,828 to zero for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was attributable to the conversion of convertible notes into common shares after the completion of the IPO in December 2020. Realized foreign exchange gain (loss) Realized foreign exchange loss decreased by $189,352 to $3,118 from $192,470 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was largely attributable to the unfavorable foreign exchange translations on capital raisings from AUD to USD during the same period in 2020. Income tax (expense) benefit There was no income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and the Company has established a full valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets. 17 Other comprehensive income Foreign currency translation gain/(loss) Unrealized foreign currency translation loss increased by $16,914 to $67,482 from $50,568 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. It is calculated based on the Company’s unsettled transactions in currencies other than its functional currency. Net loss Net loss increased by $360,142 to $1,432,652 from $1,072,510 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This increase is primarily driven by the expansion of the Company’s operational activities in order to progress on its regulatory and development milestones. Liquidity and Capital Resources We use working capital and cash measures to evaluate the performance of our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations. We define Working Capital as current assets less current liabilities. The calculation of Working Capital provides additional information and is not defined as a measure of financial performance under GAAP. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under GAAP. This information is intended to provide investors with information about our liquidity. Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Since our inception, our operations have primarily been financed through the issuance of our common stock, convertible preferred stock and the incurrence of debt. As of September 30, 2021, we had $12,608,468 in cash and cash equivalents and $13,027,563 in working capital. According to our management’s estimates, based on our budget and proposed schedules of development, approvals and organization, we believe, although there can be no assurances, we will have sufficient capital resources to enable us to continue to implement our business plan and remain in operation for at least up to first half of 2023. During this time, we expect to use the net proceeds available to us for the following purposes: ● to obtain regulatory approvals and establish manufacturing capacities necessary for marketing of the SGT; ● to market the SGT and establish a distribution network in the APAC Region; and ● for working capital and general corporate purposes. We do not anticipate generating any revenue in the near future, until such time, if at all, the Company completes the development process of its products, including regulatory approvals, and thereafter, begins to commercialize and achieve substantial acceptance in the marketplace for the first of a series of products in its medical device portfolio. In addition, available resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently anticipated, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing the SGT and generating sufficient revenue in the timeframe set forth above, or at all. We may be unable to meet our targets for regulatory approval and market launch, or we may be unable to generate anticipated amounts of revenue from sales of the system. We may also need additional funding for developing new products and services and for additional sales, marketing and promotional activities. Should this occur, we may need to seek additional capital earlier than anticipated. In the event we require additional capital, there can be no assurances that we will be able to raise such capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital through debt or equity financings, or through collaboration agreements, strategic alliances or marketing and distribution arrangements, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our long-term liquidity needs and achieve our intended long-term business plan. Our failure to obtain such funding when needed could create a negative impact on our stock price or could potentially lead to a reduction in our operations or the failure of our company. See “Initial public offering” above for details about our IPO. Extended Transition Period for “Emerging Growth Companies” We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. Because our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates, investors may have difficulty evaluating or comparing our business, performance or prospects in comparison to other public companies, which may have a negative impact on the value and liquidity of our common stock. 18 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of September 30, 2021, we do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our results of operations or financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources. Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that impact the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 15, 2021, and the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those in our June 30, 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 15, 2021. Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements For the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item. 19 ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021 as described below. Notwithstanding the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements and other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our business, financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Material Weakness The Company completed the IPO in December 2020. Prior to the IPO, the Company was a private corporation with limited accounting personnel and other supervisory resources necessary to adequately execute its accounting processes and address its internal controls over financial reporting requirements. As a result, previously existing internal controls are no longer sufficient, and the Company is in the process of updating these controls. The design and implementation of internal control over financial reporting for the Company’s post-IPO has required and will continue to require significant time and resources from management and other personnel. As part of this updating process, our management identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness identified relates to the fact that the Company has not yet designed and maintained an effective control environment commensurate with its financial reporting requirements, including a) has not yet completed the formally documented policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of the Company’s accounting and reporting functions, b) lack of evidence to support the performance of controls and the adequacy of review procedures, including the completeness and accuracy of information used in the performance of controls and c) we currently have limited accounting personnel and other supervisory resources necessary to adequately execute the Company’s accounting processes and address its internal controls over financial reporting requirements. Remediation Plan Management is committed to continuing with the steps necessary to remediate the control deficiencies that constituted the above material weakness. Since the IPO, we made the following enhancements to our control environment: a. We added accounting and finance personnel to provide additional individuals to allow for segregation of duties in the preparation and review of schedules, calculations, and journal entries that support financial reporting, to provide oversight, structure and reporting lines, and to provide additional review over our disclosures; b. We enhanced our controls to improve the preparation and review over complex accounting measurements, and the application of GAAP to significant accounts and transactions, and our financial statement disclosures; and, c. We are in the process of engaging outside consultants to assist us in our evaluation of the design, implementation, and documentation of internal controls that address the relevant risks, and that provide for appropriate evidence of performance of our internal controls (including completeness and accuracy procedures). Under the direction of the audit committee of the board of directors, management will continue to take measures to further remediate the material weakness. As such, we will continue to enhance corporate oversight over process-level controls and structures to ensure that there is appropriate assignment of authority, responsibility, and accountability to enable remediation of our material weakness. We believe that our remediation plan will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. 20 As we continue to evaluate, and work to improve, our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine that additional measures to address control deficiencies or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary. Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
