Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Organization of the Company
We are a specialist medical diagnostics company focused primarily on the research, development and manufacture of in vitro diagnostic test devices for consumer and professional point-of-care use. In addition, we own, manage and operate a hemostasis laboratory.
Key aspects of our strategy for increasing shareholder value include:
| executing on our existing business activities, including undertaking research and development activities for our customers and partners, manufacturing products (test strips and analyzers) and providing development and support services including providing laboratory services, to our customers and partners; |
| extending and demonstrating the broader application of our technology and seeking to enter into collaborative, strategic or distribution arrangements with other life sciences companies or other industry participants with respect to specific tests or specific fields; |
| participating in healthcare markets across the globe; and |
| identifying and pursuing related opportunities for growth. |
Our plan of operations over the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 2018 is to:
| manufacture products; |
| undertake research and development work; |
| provide the necessary post-market support for our customers and partners; |
| provide laboratory services for our customers and partners; |
| demonstrate the broader application of our technology platform for markets with significant commercial potential; and |
| seek to enter into collaborative, strategic or distribution arrangements with other life sciences companies or other industry participants with respect to the development and commercialization of specific tests or specific fields. |
The Companys first global strategic partnership was established with LifeScan, Inc. (LifeScan) in diabetes care. We have developed a blood glucose product with LifeScan (OneTouch Verio®) which is now available in countries that represent over 90% of the world self-monitoring blood glucose market. Unless otherwise noted, references to LifeScan in this document are references collectively or individually to LifeScan, Inc., and/or LifeScan Europe, a division of Cilag GmbH International, both affiliates of Johnson and Johnson. During the current quarter, LifeScan gave notice and exercised its right to convert its obligation to pay quarterly service fees to Universal Biosensors.
We are working with Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc. (Siemens) in relation to a range of products for the point-of-care coagulation testing market, pursuant to a Collaboration Agreement with Siemens (Collaboration Agreement). The first such product developed with Siemens, the Xprecia Stride Coagulation Analyzer, is now available in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Canada. Under the terms of a supply agreement with Siemens (Supply Agreement), UBS is the manufacturer of test strips for this product and further tests still in development for Siemens.
In addition, UBS is engaged in point-of-care coagulation product development for the consumer, home testing market which could be distributed globally on its own account.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. 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 of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Universal Biosensors, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on February 23, 2018 (the Annual Report).

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The year-end consolidated condensed balance sheets data as at December 31, 2017 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated condensed financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Basis of Presentation
The Companys consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. We rely largely on our existing cash and cash equivalents balance and operating cash flow to provide for the working capital needs of our operations. We believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. However, in the event our financing needs for the foreseeable future are not able to be met by our existing cash and cash equivalents balance and operating cash flow, we would seek to raise funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, and through other means to meet the financing requirements. There is no assurance that funding would be available at acceptable terms, if at all.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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, carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, deferred income taxes, asset retirement obligations, liabilities related to employee benefits, warrants and research and development tax incentive income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 tenant security deposits, credit card security deposits and cash collateral for its borrowings. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has not realized any losses in such cash accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk of loss.
Short-Term Investments (Held-to-maturity)
Short-term investments constitute all highly liquid investments with term to maturity from three months to twelve months. The carrying amount of short-term investments is equivalent to their fair value.
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 Companys cash and cash equivalents are primarily invested with one of Australias 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.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivative financial instruments
The Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange arising from operating, investing and financing activities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognized immediately in the income statement. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged.
Cash flow hedges
Exposure to foreign exchange risks arises in the normal course of the Companys business and it is the Companys policy to use forward exchange contracts to hedge anticipated sales and purchases in foreign currencies. The amount of forward cover taken is in accordance with approved policy and internal forecasts.
Where a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the variability in cash flows of a recognized asset or liability, or a highly probable forecast transaction, the effective part of any unrealized gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is recognized directly in equity. When the forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the associated cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.
For cash flow hedges, other than those covered by the preceding statement, the associated cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income and on the same line item as that hedged forecast transaction. The ineffective part of any gain or loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the Company revokes designation of the hedge relationship but the hedged forecast transaction is still probable to occur, the cumulative gain or loss at that point remains in equity and is recognized in accordance with the above policy when the transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to take place, then the cumulative unrealized gain or loss recognized in equity is recognized immediately in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider our own and counterparty credit risk. For periods ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we did not have any assets or liabilities that utilize Level 3 inputs. The valuation of our foreign exchange derivatives are based on the market approach using observable market inputs, such as forward rates and incorporate non-performance risk (the credit standing of the counterparty when the derivative is in a net asset position, and the credit standing of the Company when the derivative is in a net liability position). Our derivative assets are categorized as Level 2. The fair value methodologies described as Level 2 and 3 inputs are defined elsewhere in these notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements.

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). |
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. Cost also includes the transfer from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges relating to purchases of raw material. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts.

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 general and administrative expenses in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

Property, Plant, and Equipmentnet
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 are charged to operations as incurred, include normal services, and do not include items of a capital nature.
The Company receives Commonwealth of Australia grant monies under grant agreements to support its development activities (refer section on Government Grants), including in connection with the purchase of plant and equipment. Plant and equipment is presented net of the government grant. The grant monies are recognized against the acquisition costs of the related plant and equipment as and when the related assets are purchased.
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 would be 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. Impairment of long-lived-assets as at September 30, 2018 was nil (December 31, 2017: nil).
Government grants
UBS was awarded a grant from the Commonwealth of Australia under the Next Generation Manufacturing Investment Programme up to a maximum grant amount of A$575,000 payable over a three year period commencing from January 1, 2017. The grants are paid upon achievement of pre-agreed milestones. The milestones generally relate to UBS placing purchase orders, commissioning upgrades and validating the equipment. Amongst other reasons, the Commonwealth of Australia may terminate the grant agreement for breach of the agreement by UBS or for failure to undertake the required programme. Under these circumstances, the Commonwealth of Australia may require UBS to repay some or the entire grant. The Company continues to undertake the project funded by the Commonwealth of Australia.
An amount of A$271,318 and A$89,500 were received under this grant in November 2017 and June 2018, respectively. In the event UBS had achieved milestones and received grant payments, it believes that the likelihood of being required to repay grant funding is remote because the Company continues to comply with the grant agreement.

Marketing Support Payment
During 2009, LifeScan chose not to proceed with the registration of the then current product but to proceed with an enhanced product, called OneTouch Verio®, and acknowledged that there would be a delay as a result. As a result of this change, LifeScan agreed to pay additional amounts per strip manufactured by the Company in 2010 and 2011 up to a specified volume limit (manufacturing initiation payments). At the same time, the Company agreed to pay LifeScan a marketing support payment in each of the two years following the first calendar year in which 1 billion strips are sold by LifeScan equal to 40% of the total manufacturing initiation payments made. The first calendar year in which 1 billion strips were sold by LifeScan was during the 2016 financial year. These amounts will be paid to LifeScan once supporting documentation has been provided to us. The total amount of marketing support payments to be paid to LifeScan in US$ once all the documentation is received is US$2,048,602 (equivalent to A$2,836,614).
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred to further the Groups 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. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes
The Company applies ASC 740Income Taxes which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from a companys 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.

The recent U.S. Federal Tax Reform has established a mandatory repatriation of foreign accumulated undistributed earnings and profits (the E&Ps) for U.S. companies subsidiaries. In the past, none of these E&Ps were repatriated since such E&Ps were considered to be reinvested indefinitely in the foreign location. The E&Ps provisions are applicable to our Company commencing with our fiscal year 2018, however the E&Ps mandatory repatriation provisions establishes measurement dates for various computations. In our Companys case this date is December 31, 2017. The Companys estimated tax for the mandatory repatriation is estimated to be nil. However, the final tax due must be assessed with our December 31, 2018 closing figures. Any such tax liability may be paid over a period of eight years starting on February 28, 2019. As of the issuance date of this report, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Accounting Standards Board have issued some preliminary guidance, but have not issued final rules on how the effects of the U.S. Federal Tax Reform will be required to be reported for financial statements purposes.
At December 31, 2017 the Company has A$10,993,737 (A$22,616,230 at December 31, 2016) of accumulated tax losses available for carry forward against future earnings, which under Australian tax laws do not expire but may not be available under certain circumstances. The Company also has A$11,048,336 (A$5,800,672 at December 31, 2016) of non-refundable R&D tax offset as at December 31, 2017. The R&D Tax offset is a non-refundable tax offset, which assists to reduce a companys tax liability. Once the liability has been reduced to zero, any excess offset may be carried forward into future income years. UBI has U.S. tax losses available for carry forward against future earnings of US$1,011,321 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Pursuant to the U.S. Federal Tax Reform, the effective tax rate of UBI has been reduced from 34% to 21%. The deferred tax benefit based on this new rate for UBI is US$212,377. HRL has Canadian tax losses available for carry forward against future earnings of CAD$668,043 and CAD$95,096 as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States, Canada and Australia. Tax returns up to and including the 2017 financial year have been filed in all these jurisdictions.
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.
ARO for the years ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was A$2,600,000.
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.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from all sources based on the provisions of the U.S. SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 and ASC 605 Revenue Recognition.
The Companys revenue represents revenue from sales of products, provision of services and collaborative research and development agreements.
We recognize revenue from sales of products at the time title of goods passes to the buyer and the buyer assumes the risks and rewards of ownership, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Generally, this is at the time products are shipped to the customer.

Revenue from services is recognized when a persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue recognition principles are assessed for each new contractual arrangement and the appropriate accounting is determined for each service.
On September 21, 2018 LifeScan exercised its right to convert its obligation to pay quarterly service fees to us. We expect the lump sum service fees to be paid to Universal Biosensors on or before February 15, 2019. We estimate the lump sum service fee using the most expected value approach based on (i) actual quarterly service fees received this financial year, (ii) estimating the quarterly service fees for the remainder of the year based on the trend seen in prior years, and (iii) multiplying the total quarterly service fees expected to be received this financial year by two and converting the same into AUD using the period end exchange rate. We assessed if any amount of the lump sum service fees were attributable to the remaining obligation under the Master Services and Supply Agreement that states that LifeScan could require us to provide manufacturing services at our Rowville facility to recommence production of glucose strips. We conclude that this obligation has no fair value attributable to it due to (i) high set-up costs to recommence manufacturing, (ii) the required lead time to gain regulatory compliance, and (iii) the fact there is deemed to be no commercial rationale for LifeScan to request us to recommence glucose-strip manufacturing on the basis of current information. As such, the lump sum service fee revenue has been fully recognized this quarter and no revenue has been deferred.
Where our agreements contain multiple elements, or deliverables, such as the manufacture and sale of products, provision of services or research and development activities, they are assessed to determine whether separate delivery of the individual elements of such arrangements comprises more than one unit of accounting. Where an arrangement can be divided into separate units of accounting (each unit constituting a separate earnings process), the arrangement consideration is allocated amongst those varying units based on the relative selling price of the separate units of accounting and the applicable revenue recognition criteria applied to the separate units. Selling prices are determined using fair value as determined by either vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence of the selling price, when available, or the Companys best estimate of selling price when fair value is not available for a given unit of accounting.
Under ASC 605-25, the delivered item(s) are separate units of accounting, provided (i) the delivered item(s) have value to a customer on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in our control. Where the arrangement cannot be divided into separate units, the individual deliverables are combined as a single unit of accounting and the total arrangement consideration is recognized across other deliverables in the arrangement or over the estimated collaboration period. Payments under these arrangements typically include one or more of the following: non-refundable, upfront payments; funding of research and/or development efforts; and milestone payments.
We typically generate milestone payments from our customers pursuant to the various agreements we have with them. Non-refundable milestone payments which represent the achievement of a significant technical/regulatory hurdle in the research and development process pursuant to collaborative agreements, and are deemed to be substantive, are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the specified milestone. If the non-refundable milestone payment is not substantive or stand-alone value, the non-refundable milestone payment is deferred and recognized as revenue either over the estimated performance period stipulated in the agreement or across other deliverables in the arrangement.
Management has concluded that the core operations of the Company are expected to be research and development activities, commercial manufacture of approved medical or testing devices and the provision of services. The Companys ultimate goal is to utilize the underlying technology and skill base for the development of marketable products that the Company will manufacture. The Company considers revenue from the sales of products, revenue from services and the income received from milestone payments indicative of its core operating activities or revenue producing goals of the Company, and as such have accounted for this income as revenues.
Master Services and Supply Agreement
In October 2007, the Company and LifeScan entered into a Master Services and Supply Agreement, under which the Company would provide certain services to LifeScan in the field of blood glucose monitoring and act as a non-exclusive manufacturer of blood glucose test strips. The Master Services and Supply Agreement was subsequently amended and restated in May 2009. The Company has concluded the Master Services and Supply Agreement should be accounted for as three separate units of accounting: 1) research and development to assist LifeScan in receiving regulatory clearance to sell the blood glucose product (milestone payment), 2) contract manufacturing of the blood glucose test strips (contract manufacturing) which ceased in December 2013, and 3) ongoing services and efforts to enhance the product (product enhancement).

Universal Biosensors, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
All consideration within the Master Services and Supply Agreement is contingent. The Company concluded the undelivered items were not priced at a significant incremental discount to the delivered items and revenue for each deliverable will be recognized as each contingency is met and the consideration becomes fixed and determinable. The milestone payment was considered to be a substantive payment and the entire amount has been recognized as revenue when the regulatory approval was received. Revenues for contract manufacturing and ongoing efforts to enhance the product are recognized as revenue from products or revenue from services, respectively, when the four basic criteria for revenue recognition are met.
Collaboration Agreement
On September 9, 2011 the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Siemens to develop coagulation related products for hospital point-of-care and ambulatory care coagulation markets. In addition to an up-front, non-refundable payment of A$2,961,245 (equivalent to US$3 million), the Collaboration Agreement (as amended) contains a further seven payments from Siemens upon the achievement of certain defined milestones. These seven milestones, to a large extent, relate to feasibility, regulatory submissions and the launch of the products to be developed. The Company has concluded that the up-front payment is not a separate unit of accounting and recorded the amount as deferred revenue to be recognized as revenue across other deliverables in the arrangement with Siemens based upon the Companys best estimate of selling price. The deliverables related to each of the seven milestones are considered substantive and are not priced at a significant incremental discount to the other deliverables. As the achievement of the seven milestones is contingent upon a future event, the revenue for each deliverable will be recognized as the contingencies are met and the consideration becomes fixed and determinable.
Of the seven milestones, the Company has delivered on four as of September 30, 2018. The last milestone delivered was in July 2015.
Interest income
Interest income is recognized as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the cash and cash equivalents.
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 Governments support for Australias 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. Generally speaking, entities which are 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 entitys 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 million, or |
(2) | as a 38.5% non-refundable tax offset if aggregate turnover of the entity is more than A$20 million. |
In accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Article 5-03, the Companys 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.

Table of Contents
Universal Biosensors, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Management has assessed the Companys research and development 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the aggregate turnover of the Company had exceeded A$20 million and accordingly it was not eligible for a refundable tax offset. The Company was however eligible for the non-refundable tax offset. The eligible R&D activities and expenditures are able to be claimed as part of the current year income tax computation and any amounts included as a tax asset will be subject to recognition rules under ASC 740 Income Taxes.
Foreign Currency
Functional and reporting currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Groups entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of UBI and UBS is AUD or A$ for all years presented. The functional currency of HRL is CAD$.
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 Company has recorded foreign currency transaction gains of A$183,395 and A$61,873 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and A$412,768 and A$703,420 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
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.
Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. These were nil as at September 30, 2018. Purchase commitments contracted for as at September 30, 2018 is A$1,538,429 (December 31, 2017 : A$2,359,443).

Patent and License Costs
Legal and maintenance fees incurred for patent application costs have been charged to expense and reported in general and administrative expense.
Clinical Trial Expenses
Clinical trial costs are a component of research and development 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.
These prepaid or accrued expenses are based on estimates of the work performed under service agreements.
Leased Assets
All of the Companys leases for the periods ending September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are considered operating leases. The costs of operating leases are charged to the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
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 Companys 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.
(a) Stock Option Plan
In 2004, the Company adopted an employee option plan (Plan). Options may be granted pursuant to the Plan to any person considered by the board to be employed by the Group on a permanent basis (whether full time, part time or on a long term casual basis). Each option gives the holder the right to subscribe for one share of common stock. The total number of options that may be issued under the Plan is such maximum amount permitted by law and the Listing Rules of the ASX. The exercise price and any exercise conditions are determined by the board at the time of grant of the options. Any exercise conditions must be satisfied before the options vest and become capable of exercise. The options lapse on such date determined by the board at the time of grant or earlier in accordance with the Plan. Options granted to date have had a term up to 10 years and generally vest in equal tranches over three years.
An option holder is not permitted to participate in a bonus issue or new issue of securities in respect of an option held prior to the issue of shares to the option holder pursuant to the exercise of an option. If the Company changes the number of issued shares through, or as a result of, any consolidation, subdivision, or similar reconstruction of the issued capital of the Company, the total number of options and the exercise price of the options (as applicable) will likewise be adjusted.

(b) Restricted Share Plan
Our Employee Share Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in 2009. The Employee Share Plan permits our Board to grant shares of our common stock to our employees and directors (although our Board has determined not to issue equity to non-executive directors). The number of shares able to be granted is limited to the amount permitted to be granted at law, the ASX Listing Rules and by the limits on our authorized share capital in our certificate of incorporation. All our employees are eligible for shares under the Employee Share Plan. The Company has in the past issued A$1,000 worth of restricted shares of common stock to employees of the Company but no more frequently than annually. The restricted shares have the same terms of issue as our existing shares of common stock but are not able to be traded until the earlier of three years from the date on which the shares are issued or the date the relevant employee ceases to be an employee of the Company or any of its associated group of companies.

Employee Benefit Costs
The Company contributes 9.5% of each employees 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 employees 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 DPSP. The Company contributes 1% to 2% of the employees base earnings towards the DPSP. The DPSP contributions are vested immediately.
Benefit Plan
The Company provides eligible HRL employees a Benefit Plan to its employees. In general, the Benefit Plan includes extended health care, dental care, basic life insurance, basic accidental death and dismemberment, and disability insurance.
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.
Total Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
The Company follows ASC 220 Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income/(loss) is defined as the total change in shareholders equity during the period other than from transactions with shareholders, and for the Company, includes net income/(loss).

Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Acquisition cost is measured as the aggregate of the fair value at the date of acquisition of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred (except for those costs arising on the issue of equity instruments which are recognized directly in equity). Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at fair value on the acquisition date. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the acquisition cost, the amount of any non-controlling interest and the fair value of any previous UBI equity interest in the acquiree, over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
(a) Recent issued accounting standards not yet adopted
ASU No.2016-02, Leases
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, its new standard on accounting for leases. ASU 2016-02 introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet and eliminates the requirement in current U.S. GAAP for an entity to use bright-line tests in determining lease classification. The standard also requires lessors to increase the transparency of their exposure to changes in value of their residual assets and how they manage that exposure.
The new guidance will be effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No.2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. There are two permitted transition methods under the new standard, the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has deferred the adoption of this standard as is allowable for an Emerging Growth Company.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
UBI has selected the modified retrospective method where the effect of applying the standard will be recognized at the date of initial application, without restating previous years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities
On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815.2. The FASBs objectives in issuing the ASU are to (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entitys risk management activities by better aligning the entitys financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers.
For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein; however, early adoption by all entities is permitted upon its issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
(b) Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
ASU No.2016-18, Restricted Cash
On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which amends ASC 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. For all other entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company has adopted this guidance from January 1, 2018 and it has not had a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No.2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which amends the guidance in ASC 230 to eliminate diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company has adopted this guidance and it has not had a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No.2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory
On October 24, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, which removes the prohibition in ASC 740 against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of a fiscal year for which neither the annual or interim financial statements have been issued. Entities should apply the ASUs amendments on a modified retrospective basis, recognizing the effects in retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company has adopted this guidance and it has not had a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No.2017-01, Business Combination: Clarifying the Definition of a Business
On January 5, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 to clarify the definition of a business in ASC 805. The amendments in the ASU are intended to make application of the guidance more consistent and cost-efficient. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. The ASU must be applied prospectively on or after the effective date, and no disclosures for a change in accounting principle are required at transition. Early adoption is permitted for transactions (i.e., acquisitions or dispositions) that occurred before the issuance date or effective date of the standard. The Company has adopted this guidance and it has not had a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

ASU No.2017-09, Compensation Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting
On May 10, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this guidance and it has not had a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2018-05, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118.
On March 13, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05. This Financial Reporting Alert contains responses to frequently asked questions about how an entity should account for the tax effects of the new tax reform legislation in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. This ASU is effective upon issuance and the adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements
The FASB issued ASU 2018-09 on July 16, 2018. The ASUs amendments clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Codification. This ASU is effective upon issuance and the adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Athyrium Credit Agreement
On December 19, 2013 (Closing Date), UBI and its wholly owned subsidiary, UBS (together UBI and UBS, the Transaction Parties) entered into a credit agreement with Athyrium Opportunities Fund (A) LP (Athyrium A), as administrative agent (the Administrative Agent) and as a lender, and Athyrium Opportunities Fund (B) LP (Athyrium B) as a lender (Athyrium A and Athyrium B together with any other lenders party thereto from time to time, the Lenders) for a secured term loan of up to US$25 million, which was amended on January 30, 2015 (Credit Agreement). Of this amount, US$15 million had been drawn at December 31, 2013 with a further US$10 million available to be drawn down on or before July 31, 2015, if UBS satisfied certain conditions precedent relating to product revenues.
The credit agreement was amended again on December 29, 2017 (Amendment). Subject to the terms of the Amendment, the Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement to (i) extend the maturity date to July 1, 2019 (Maturity Date), (ii) add the Borrowers wholly owned subsidiary, Hemostasis Reference Laboratory, Inc. (HRL), as a guarantor of the Borrowers obligations under the Credit Agreement and (iii) subject to the prior written consent of the Lenders in their sole discretion, permit UBI to repurchase shares in an aggregate amount up to US$2,000,000 within 12 months after the date Lenders provide any such consent.
The term loan bears interest at 10.5% per annum payable in cash quarterly in arrears over the term, and as otherwise described in the Credit Agreement. A default interest rate of 13% per annum shall apply during the existence of a default under the Credit Agreement. Other than as summarized below, UBS is not required to make payments of principal for amounts outstanding under the term loan until maturity, July 1, 2019. The term loan under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of UBI, UBS and HRLs assets. UBI and HRL (together with any future subsidiaries) guarantees all of UBSs obligations under the term loan.

Voluntary prepayments of the term loans were not permitted prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, except in the event of a change of control of a Transaction Party. After the second anniversary, UBS can make voluntary repayments in minimum principal amounts of US$2,500,000 together with interest, plus the premium described below. UBS must make mandatory prepayments in certain prescribed circumstances, including in the event of raising additional debt financing, a sale or transfer of assets other than in certain circumstances and in the event of other specified extraordinary receipts. Extraordinary receipts include cash received or paid other than in the ordinary course of business, such as tax refunds (other than GST and R&D tax rebates), LifeScan lump sum fee payments and Siemens termination fees. In such events, UBS must prepay to the Lenders 100% of the net cash proceeds received up to the outstanding principal amount of the loans drawn down, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other obligations. In the event of any prepayment after the second anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to any obligations under the Credit Agreement, UBS must pay a prepayment premium commencing at 15% of the principal of such prepayment due and payable on the applicable date and reducing pro-rata on a monthly basis until the Maturity Date.
Unless the facility is otherwise terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, UBS (as the borrower) is required to repay the outstanding principal amount of the loans drawn down, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other obligations on Maturity Date.
UBS paid a non-refundable fee of US$625,000 to the Lenders on the Closing Date (being 2.5% of the aggregate credit facility) and non-refundable fees of US$200,000 to the Lenders in connection with each of the January 2015 and December 2017 amendments to the Credit Agreement. A 2% commitment fee based on any available unused borrowing commitment was paid by UBS under the Credit Agreement until July 31, 2015. The Lenders are also entitled to receive 30% of the net proceeds of milestone payments paid under the Collaboration Agreement by and among UBS, UBI and Siemens, up to a maximum of US$600,000 in the aggregate of which US$300,000 was paid in February 2015 and the balance of US$300,000 was paid in August 2015 (upon receipt of two further milestone payments). UBS has also agreed to pay certain taxes arising in connection with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, including withholding taxes. UBS has also agreed to pay certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lenders in connection with the loan documents including the January 2015 and December 2017 amendments, or as may be incurred in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain covenants, including among other things, covenants: (i) relating to the delivery of financial and other information and certificates, notices of defaults, litigation and other material events; payment of taxes and other obligations; maintenance of insurance; (ii) which limit or restrict the incurrence of liens; the making of investments; the incurrence of certain indebtedness; mergers, dispositions, liquidations, or consolidations and significant asset sales; restricted payments; transactions with affiliates other than on normal and arms-length terms; burdensome agreements; prepayment of other indebtedness; ownership of subsidiaries; and (iii) which require UBS to maintain restricted cash of not less than US$2,000,000 in a specified bank account at any time.
As further described below, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, UBI issued to the Lenders warrants entitling the holder to purchase up to an aggregate total of 4.5 million shares of UBIs common stock in the form of CDIs at a price of A$1.00 per share (the Exercise Price), which represents a 117% premium over the closing price of UBIs common stock on December 19, 2013. The warrants are immediately exercisable and have a term of seven years.
Other
In December 2016, UBS entered into an arrangement with Elantis Premium Funding Ltd to fund the Groups 2017 insurance premium. The total amount financed was A$369,630 at inception and the short-term borrowing was fully repaid in September 2017. Interest was charged at a fixed rate of 2.60% per annum. The short-term borrowing was secured by the insurance premium refund. The Groups 2018 insurance premium was funded from its operating cash flows.

Warrants
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, UBI issued to the Lenders warrants entitling the holder to purchase up to an aggregate total of 4.5 million shares of UBIs common stock in the form of CDIs at a price of A$1.00 per share (the Exercise Price), which represents a 117% premium over the closing price of UBIs common stock on December 19, 2013. The warrants are immediately exercisable and have a term of seven years.
The warrants may be exercised at any time until December 19, 2020, in whole or in part in minimum multiples of 500,000 shares of common stock. The holder of the warrants can pay the Exercise Price in cash or it has the right to pay all or a portion of the Exercise Price by making a cashless exercise, therefore reducing the number of shares of common stock the holder would otherwise be issued.
The warrant is subject to adjustments in the event of certain issuances by UBI, such as bonus issues, pro rata (rights) issues and reorganizations (e.g., consolidation, subdivision).
The Company assessed that the warrants are not liabilities within scope of ASC 480-10-25. The warrants are legally detachable from the loan and separately exercisable and as such meet the definition of a freestanding derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815.
However, the scope exception in accordance with ASC 815-10-15-74 applies to warrants and it meets the requirements of ASC 815 that would be classified in stockholders equity. Therefore, the warrants were initially accounted for within stockholders equity, and subsequent changes in fair value will not be recorded. The fair value of the warrant was estimated using the Trinomial Lattice model.
The debt issuance costs were recorded as deferred issuance costs and are amortized as interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the term of the loan pursuant to ASC 835-30-35-2.

Results of Operations
Analysis of Consolidated Revenue
We recognized one-off revenue of A$42,164,868 being the lump sum service fees during the current quarter which has increased our total revenue for the current period by just over A$40 million compared to the prior comparable period. Excluding this one-off revenue and despite sales of the OneTouch Verio® strips increasing, our total revenue decreased by 20% and 10% to A$5,070,157 and $18,560,406, respectively during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the previous financial year as a result of a slow-down in sales of the Xprecia StrideTM strips.
Revenue from Products
The financial results of the PT-INR test strips for the Xprecia StrideTM Coagulation Analyzer we manufactured and sold to Siemens during the respective periods are as follows:

The movement in revenues is primarily volume driven. Management is of the view that revenues increased in 2017 as a result of the full commercial launch by Siemens of the Xprecia StrideTM Coagulation Analyzer after successful completion of its limited release and inventory buildup for future sales. Due to the latter and as foreshadowed, the revenues during the current period are low. Management believes that the revenues will remain low until Siemens gains meaningful market share. The volatile and low production margin from the sale of our PT-INR strips is reflective of lower throughput.

Revenue from Services
We provide various services to our customers and partners. The revenue is grouped into the following categories:
| Product enhancement a quarterly service fee based on the number of strips sold by LifeScan which falls within a valid claim of certain LifeScan patents is payable to us as an ongoing reward for our services and efforts to enhance the product; |
| Contract research and development we undertake contract research and development on behalf of our customers and partners; |
| Lump sum service fees this one-off fee is calculated by multiplying the quarterly service fees for the 2018 financial year by two; |
| Other services calibration services provided by HRL and other ad-hoc services provided on an agreed basis according to our customers and partners requirements. |
There are different arrangements for each service being provided. The net margin during the respective periods in relation to the provision of services is as follows:

Lump sum service fees During the current quarter, LifeScan gave notice and exercised its right to convert its obligation to pay quarterly service fees to Universal Biosensors. Following delivery of the conversion notice, LifeScan is obliged to continue to pay quarterly service fees to Universal Biosensors for the balance of the 2018 LifeScan financial year (as defined in Johnson & Johnsons internal accounting policies and procedures, which ends on the last Sunday of the calendar year). Promptly after the end of the 2018 LifeScan financial year, LifeScan will calculate and within forty-five days pay to Universal Biosensors a one time lump sum service fee to convert or buy out its obligation to pay future quarterly service fees. The 2018 quarterly service fees has been calculated based on (i) actual quarterly service fees received this financial year, and (ii) estimating the quarterly service fees for the remainder of the year based on prior years trend. The lump sum service fees has been calculated by multiplying the total quarterly service fees expected for this financial year by two and converting the same into AUD using the period end exchange rate. We assessed if any amount of the lump sum service fees were attributable to the remaining obligation under the Master Services and Supply Agreement that states that LifeScan could require us to provide manufacturing services at our Rowville facility to recommence production of glucose strips. We conclude that this obligation has no fair value attributable to it due to (i) high set-up costs to recommence manufacturing, (ii) the required lead time to gain regulatory compliance, and (iii) the fact there is deemed to be no commercial rationale for LifeScan to request us to recommence glucose-strip manufacturing on the basis of current information. As such, the lump sum service fee revenue has been fully recognized this quarter and no revenue has been deferred.
Quarterly service feeThe quarterly service fee from LifeScan, as reflected below, increased by 3% and 5%, respectively during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same period in the previous financial year. Whilst the volume for the current quarter declined when compared to the prior comparable period, the quarterly service fees increased reflecting the impact of the weakening AUD against the USD. Year to date volumes increased together with a corresponding increase in quarterly service fees when compared to the prior comparable period reflecting ongoing market penetration and growth and the impact of the weakening AUD against USD.

The quarterly service fee for each quarter in a LifeScan financial year is calculated based on the number of OneTouch Verio® blood glucose test strips sold in such LifeScan financial year as follows: US$0.0125 per strip for the first 500 million strips sold in a financial year and US$0.0075 per strip for sales in excess of 500 million strips in such financial year. Quarterly service fees are reported and paid by LifeScan in USD. Accordingly, revenues recognized by us from quarterly services fees paid by LifeScan were impacted by the movement of the AUD against the USD over the periods covered above. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenue from quarterly service fees were up 8% and 3%, respectively, due to depreciation of AUD against USD.
Other services - We generated revenues principally from calibration services performed by HRL and from Siemens based on work undertaken for them. Increase in Other services is as a result of increase in revenues by HRL during the current period.

The increase in period to period total contributions from products and services reflected in the table above is primarily represented by the lump sum service fee and quarterly service fees which has a 100% margin.
The manufacturing operation is currently running on one shift with all costs being expensed. The Company is investing in scale up projects which will improve efficiency and yields and lead to a profitable manufacturing operation. We are targeting a margin of 40% which we believe is typical of device manufacturers with shared investment and research and development risk. The manufacturing operation has the flexibility to expand in order to support volume increases on the Siemens contract.
Contribution from other services increased over the period primarily as a result of increase in revenue generated by HRL
EBITDA
EBITDA is essentially earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement. Management uses 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, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The most comparable GAAP measure is net earnings from continuing operations. Consolidated EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
EBITDA for the respective periods and a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA is as follows:

Product support expenditure varies and is dependent upon the improvements we undertake. Management expects product support expenditure to decline over time.
Depreciation
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 research and development expenditure based on output. With lower commercial production volume and increased production in research and development, more depreciation is allocated towards research and development during the current period.
Depreciation for the respective periods have been charged as follows:

Research and development expenditure principally reflects the effort required in product development of the tests we are developing. Research and development expenditure decreased by 14% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the previous financial year and increased by 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the previous financial year.
The increase in year-to-date research and development expenses is primarily represented by the ramp up of the further tests in development for Siemens as we head towards regulatory clinical trials.
This financial year we also re-commenced work on our home PT-INR self testing device which has contributed to the increase in expenditure as well.
Research and development expenditure also include separation payments made to certain staff during the second quarter as part of management initiative to reduce expenditures. Whilst this represented a cost during the second quarter, the overall research and development expenditure has decreased during the current quarter as a result of the decline in headcount.
While we have a degree of control as to how much we spend on research and development activities in the future, we cannot predict with certainty what it will cost to complete our individual research and development programs successfully or when or if they will be commercialized. The timing and cost of any program is dependent upon a number of factors including achieving technical objectives, which are inherently uncertain, and subsequent regulatory approvals. We do however 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 make go no-go decisions.
In addition, our business strategy contemplates that we may enter into collaborative arrangements with third parties for one or more of our non-blood glucose programs. In the event that we are successful in securing such third party collaborative arrangements, the third party may direct the research and development activities and may contribute towards all or part of the cost of these activities, both of which will influence our research and development expenditure. Research and development activities undertaken on behalf of our customers and partners for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were A$2,157,841 and A$2,223,905, respectively and A$6,761,280 and A$4,965,247 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
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 UBIs 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 product and represents the majority of the Companys 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. |
Our principal research and development activity is in blood coagulation testing.

Table of Contents
In September 2011 we entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Siemens which was amended in September 2012 and March 2016, pursuant to which we will develop a range of test strips and reader products for the hospital point-of-care and alternative site coagulation testing markets. The first such product developed with Siemens, the Xprecia Stride Coagulation Analyzer, received CE mark approval on December 9, 2014 and FDA approval on October 4, 2016. The Xprecia Stride Coagulation Analyzer is now available for sale in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. In 2012, we entered into a Supply Agreement with Siemens under which we manufacture and supply the test strips for this product and will manufacture and supply the test strips for further tests still in development with Siemens. In addition, UBS is engaged in point-of-care coagulation product development for the consumer, home testing market which could be distributed globally.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses currently consist principally of salaries and related costs, including stock option expense, for personnel in executive, business development, finance, accounting, information technology and human resources functions. Other general and administrative expenses include depreciation, repairs and maintenance, insurance, facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses, consultancy fees and professional fees for legal including legal and maintenance fees incurred for patent applications, audit and accounting services. General and administrative expenses decreased by 16% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the previous financial year and increased by 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the previous financial year.
The year-to-date increase in part is based upon separation payments made to certain staff during the second quarter as part of management initiative to reduce expenditures. The resultant impact is cost savings during the current quarter.

Interest Income
Interest income increased by 1,014% and 390%, respectively during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 when compared to the same period in the previous financial year. The increase in interest income is generally attributable to the higher amount of funds available for investment noting that in addition to Australian currency, from this financial year, our U.S. denominated currency have been placed in term deposit accounts which generate interest income.

Interest Expense
Interest expense relates to interest being charged on a short-term borrowing initiated by the Company in prior years. These short-term loans were taken out to fund our insurance premiums and are repaid during the financial year. The insurance premium at inception was A$369,630 for the 2017 financial year. The interest rate was 2.60%. No short-term borrowings were initiated in 2018 and as a result there is no interest expense.

Financing Costs
In December 2013, UBS accessed new capital via a US$25,000,000 loan facility of which US$15,000,000 was drawn in December 2013. The breakdown of the financing costs is as follows:

Interest expense relates to applicable interest of 10.5% levied on the loan. The debt issuance costs were recorded as deferred issuance costs and are amortized as interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the term of the loan.
Increase in financing costs is primarily a result of weakening of the AUD against the USD, noting that our loan is denominated in USD. For the three and nine month period ending September 30, 2018, the period-over-period foreign currency movements relative to the AUD dollar would have had a favorable impact (exclusive of hedging impact) of A$46,310 and A$33,281, respectively on our reported results.

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.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.
We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents
(a) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. In relation to the lump sum service fees, there are no further performance obligations of value affecting revenue being recognized.
(b) Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the modified prospective method as prescribed in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Compensation Stock Compensation.
Each of the inputs to the Trinomial Lattice model is discussed below.
Share Price and Exercise Price at Valuation Date
With the exception of ZEPOs, the exercise price of the options granted has been determined using the closing price of our common stock trading in the form of CDIs on ASX at the time of grant of the options. The exercise price of ZEPOs is nil. The ASX is the only exchange upon which our securities are quoted.
Volatility
We applied volatility having regard to the historical price change of our shares in the form of CDIs available from the ASX.
Time to Expiry
All options granted under our share option plan have a maximum 10 year term and are non-transferable.
Risk Free Rate
The risk free rate which we applied is equivalent to the yield on an Australian government bond with a time to expiry approximately equal to the expected time to expiry on the options being valued.
(c) Income Taxes
We apply ASC 740 Income Taxes which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from a companys 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.
(d) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review our 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, we estimate undiscounted cash flows from products under development that are covered by these patents and licenses. An impairment loss would be 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.

(e) Warrants
In connection with our US$15 million loan facility, we issued to the Lenders warrants entitling the holder to purchase up to an aggregate total of 4.5 million shares of UBIs common stock in the form of CDIs at a price of A$1.00 per share. The fair value of the warrants to purchase common stock is estimated using the Trinomial Lattice model. Each of the inputs to the Trinomial Lattice model is discussed below.
Exercise Price at Valuation Date
The exercise price of the warrants has been determined as stated in the Credit Agreement. For further details, see Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial StatementsSummary of Significant Accounting Policies Borrowings Athyrium Credit Agreement.
Volatility
We applied volatility having regard to the historical price change of our shares in the form of CDIs available from the ASX.
Time to Expiry
The warrants have a term of seven years.
Risk Free Rate
The risk free rate which we applied is equivalent to the yield on an Australian government bond with a time to expiry approximately equal to the expected time to expiry on the warrants to purchase common stock being valued.
(f) 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 Governments support for Australias 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.
Management has assessed the Companys research and development 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 reviews the aggregate turnover of the Company to determine if the research and development tax incentive income should be recorded and based on this information and other available information at the time estimates the refundable tax offset available to the Company. This estimate is also reviewed by external tax advisors on an annual basis.

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 the loan discussed below.
On December 19, 2013 we entered into the Credit Agreement which was subsequently amended in January 2015 and on December 2017 with Lenders for a US$25 million secured term loan. A first tranche loan of US$15,000,000 was drawn on December 2013 and we elected not to draw down the additional US$10,000,000. The term loan has a maturity date of July 1, 2019 and bears interest at 10.5% per annum. Interest payments are due quarterly over the term of the term loan and, other than as described elsewhere herein, we are not required to make payments of principal for amounts outstanding under the term loan until the Maturity Date. Subject to certain exceptions, the term loan is secured by substantially all of our assets, including our intellectual property. For further details, see Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsSummary of Significant Accounting Policies Borrowings Athyrium Credit Agreement.
To a large extent, the increase in our USD denominated currency and the weakening of the AUD against the USD has resulted in an improvement to our net financial asset position. Note a major portion of our net financial assets/(liabilities) is denominated in USD, including our operating account and the long term secured loan hence is subject to variation with movements in exchange rates.
We believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. 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 Companys 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 managements 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 September 30, 2018 or for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider our own and counterparty credit risk. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we did not have any assets or liabilities that utilize Level 3 inputs. The valuation of our foreign exchange derivatives is based on the market approach using observable
35
Table of Contents
market inputs, such as forward rates, and incorporates non-performance risk (the credit standing of the counterparty when the derivative is in a net asset position, and the credit standing of the Company when the derivative is in a net liability position). Our derivative assets are categorized as Level 2.
We had no outstanding contracts as at September 30,, 2018 and December 31, 2017. We recognized gains of nil for the periods ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges for the periods ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. For further details, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Measures of Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table provides certain relevant measures of liquidity and capital resources:

Year Ended December 31, |

2018 | 2017 | |||||||
A$ | A$ | |||||||

Ratio of current assets to current liabilities |
2.76 : 1 | 3.97 : 1 | ||||||

0.31 | 0.07 |
The movement in cash and cash equivalents and working capital during the above periods was primarily due to cash flows generated from/used in operations including outflows arising from the effort required to complete the products in development, servicing of the secured loan and the timing of payments and accruals in the ordinary course of business.
With the weakening of the AUD against the USD, our cash and cash equivalents position has improved as a large portion of our funds is held in USD denominated currency. There has been a significant improvement to our working capital position as a result of the recording of the lump sum service fee during the current quarter. A portion of this increase has been offset by the re-classification of the loan. This loan has been re-classed from non-current liabilities to current liabilities as at June 30, 2018 as it will be repaid within the next 12 months to the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
We have not identified any collection issues with respect to receivables.

Our net cash provided by operating activities for all periods represents receipts offset by payments for our research and development projects including efforts involved in establishing and maintaining our manufacturing operations, interest on our long term secured loan and general and administrative expenditure. A decline in our operating cash flow position is reflective of the decline in our total revenues (excluding lump sum service fees) and an increase in our operating costs and expenses.

Table of Contents
Our net cash used in investing activities for all periods is primarily for the purchase of various plant and equipment and for the various continuous improvement program we are undertaking.
Our net cash used in financing activities in 2018 represents US$200,000 fee paid to the Lenders for the December 2017 Amendment whilst for 2017, it represents repayment of the short-term borrowing.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. At the end of the period covered by this report, the Company and management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Rick Legleiter, Chief Executive Officer, and Salesh Balak, Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, Messrs. Legleiter and Balak concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018, there were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above in this Item 9A that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

The following risk factors supplement and, to the extent inconsistent, supersede the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors in the Annual Report. Investing in our shares or CDIs involves a high degree of risk. Before you invest in our shares or CDIs, you should understand the high degree of risk involved. You should carefully consider the following risks and other information in this Form 10-Q and the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors in the Annual Report and the other information in the Annual Report, including our financial statements and related notes appearing in this Form 10-Q and in the Annual Report, before you decide to invest in our shares or CDIs. If any of the events described herein or therein actually occurs, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. In such an event, the market price of our CDIs would likely decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.
If any of our key contracts are terminated our business would be severely harmed and development and commercialization opportunities restricted or eliminated.
The License Agreement with LifeScan imposes material obligations on us. LifeScan may terminate the License Agreement if we fail to use commercially reasonable efforts to commercialise and fail to provide evidence of our compliance within 90 days of written notice, are liquidated or wound up, or are in persistent and material breach of our obligations and fail to remedy the breach within 90 days of written notice requiring us to do so. If we were to breach the License Agreement and LifeScan were to validly terminate the agreement in response, it would severely and adversely affect our financial results, business and business prospects and the future of our research and development activities. Amongst other things, it would seriously restrict or eliminate our ability to develop and commercialize our own tests and our ability to grant further sublicenses, which would restrict or eliminate our commercialization opportunities. It would also trigger a cross default under our Credit Agreement (as defined below). If the License Agreement was terminated, any sublicense under the License Agreement previously granted by us to a third party that is in effect immediately prior to such termination (which would include licenses granted to Siemens under the Collaboration Agreement) would survive termination as a direct license from LifeScan to such sublicensee, provided certain conditions are met, including that the sublicensee is not in material breach of any provision of the License Agreement and agrees to be bound to the terms of the License Agreement with respect to the applicable sublicense field. If the sublicense under the Collaboration Agreement was terminated, the ability for Siemens to commercialize the products we have developed with them may be restricted or eliminated which would have a material adverse effect on us.
We have received notice from the LifeScan of LifeScans exercise of its right to convert, or buy out, its obligation to pay quarterly service fees to us under the Master Services and Supply Agreement. Accordingly, LifeScan is obliged to continue to pay quarterly service fees to us for the balance of the 2018 LifeScan financial year (as defined in Johnson & Johnsons internal accounting policies and procedures, which ends on the last Sunday of the calendar year). Promptly after the end of the 2018 LifeScan financial year, LifeScan will calculate and within forty-five (45) days pay to us a one time lump sum service fee to convert or buy out its obligation to pay future quarterly service fees. After payment of the lump sum service fee, either of LifeScan or us may provide notice of termination of the Master Services and Supply Agreement after payment of the lump sum service fee. Unless we are engaged to provide additional services to LifeScan, following receipt of the lump sum service fee we will cease to receive cash flows under the Master Services and Supply Agreement irrespective of whether that agreement is terminated. We have not provided services under the Master Services and Supply Agreement to LifeScan for over three years. Platinum Equity announced that it had completed its acquisition of LifeScan from Johnson & Johnson on October 1, 2018. As a result, there is further uncertainty whether we will be engaged for further services in the future.
The Collaboration Agreement with Siemens expires on the end of all payment obligations under the Collaboration Agreement and the Supply Agreement. The Collaboration Agreement can be terminated by Siemens as set out in the agreement including for our insolvency, after 60 days notice for our uncured material breach, upon 30 days written notice to us for any reason (provided that if it does so prior to the milestones being achieved, it must pay a termination fee), or if a developed product infringes a third party patent and it is not commercially viable to work around or obtain a license for the infringed patent.
The Supply Agreement with Siemens expires after 10 years but Siemens may extend the term of the Supply Agreement for an additional five-years. Siemens may also extend the term of the Supply Agreement under other limited circumstances, but in no event beyond 18 years from the Effective Date. Siemens may terminate the Supply Agreement prior to its expiration upon 42 months prior written notice to us, or due to uncured material breach and persistent failures by us to supply products.
Any termination of the Collaboration Agreement or Supply Agreement may severely and adversely affect our financial results, business and business prospects and the future of our research and development activities. Amongst other things we would not receive remaining milestones under the Collaboration Agreement and would be required to reimburse Siemens for certain prepaid milestones. We would also not receive any fees from manufacturing product (except in certain circumstances where Siemens manufactures products or has products manufactured by a third party on its behalf where Siemens is obligated to pay us a fee for each product manufactured and the profit-sharing obligations under the Collaboration Agreement continue to apply).

Quarterly service fees from LifeScan currently represent a significant proportion of our revenue.
The majority of our products and services revenue has historically been derived from LifeScan. Despite our relationship with Siemens and our plans to develop and commercialize own product, we do not currently have, and may never have, other contracts in place or products in the market, generating similar or material revenues. Although the Siemens Xprecia StrideTM Coagulation Analyzer was released in Europe in December 2014 and initial sales activities commenced in the United States in May 2017, sales of the product are currently comparatively low and are not sufficient to offset our current level of expenditure. We are in discussions with Siemens regarding product profitability (performance of the product currently in market) and R&D expenditure (majority of the costs continue to be borne by us). Our own product is still in development requiring significant additional development expenditure. We do not currently, and may never, generate revenue from our own product in development. As a result, following receipt of the lump sum service fee we will have increased reliance on revenues from Siemens and could in the future face substantial liquidity problems and may be forced to restructure our operations, dispose of material assets or operations, or seek to obtain equity capital, or indebtedness to fund our operations, or undertake a combination of the foregoing actions.
If Siemens withdraws the product or does not submit purchase orders for a certain amount of product, our manufacturing capacity may not be fully utilized and we will lose the revenue opportunity from the product. If this occurs, we will be faced with surplus capacity in our manufacturing operations and our revenues will decline. Further, Siemens may obtain the right to manufacture product or have a third party manufacture product on its behalf if certain events occur (for example, insolvency, failure to supply). The Supply Agreement with Siemens may also be terminated as a result of either party defaulting on its material obligations. If any of these circumstances arise, we would cease to have the potential to receive manufacturing revenues from the sale of product purchased by Siemens.
An important part of our strategy is to seek to enter into other collaborative arrangements or strategic alliances with respect to the development and commercialization of specific tests or in specific fields.
Our Credit Agreement has financial and non-financial covenants, and default of any covenant could materially adversely impact us.
On December 19, 2013 UBI and UBS entered into a credit agreement with Athyrium Opportunities Fund (A) LP, as administrative agent (the Administrative Agent) and as a lender, and Athyrium Opportunities Fund (B) LP as a lender (Athyrium A and Athyrium B together with any other lenders party thereto from time to time, the Lenders), which was amended on January 30, 2015 and on December 29, 2017, for a secured term loan of up to US$25,000,000 (the Credit Agreement). A first tranche loan of US$15,000,000 was drawn on December 2013 and UBI elected not to draw down the additional US$10,000,000. Unless the facility is otherwise terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, UBS is required to repay the outstanding principal amount of the loans drawn down, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other obligations on July 1, 2019 (the Maturity Date). Receipt of the lump sum service fee from LifeScan will constitute an extraordinary receipt under the Credit Agreement and as a result the loan will be repayable upon receipt of the LifeScan lump sum fee, which is expected to occur within 45 days following the end of LifeScan 2018 financial year. We expect to repay the loans upon receipt of the lump sum service fee from LifeScan. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of UBS and UBI, including the stock in UBS and HRL. The obligations of UBS under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by UBI and HRL.
UBS ability to maintain compliance with the covenants in our Credit Agreement is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to continue to execute our business plans and our ability to generate cash from operations. The debt facility is subject to certain specified events of default, defaults relating to non-payment, breach of covenants or inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross-defaults to other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, material judgment defaults, regulatory defaults, the occurrence of a material adverse effect, or un-remedied material breach by UBS, UBI or HRL or termination of a key contract. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the amounts owing under the Credit Agreement, including all unpaid principal and interest being due and payable, and could result in the administrative agent enforcing its security over the assets of UBS, UBI and HRL. If the loans are accelerated or commitments terminated, we could face substantial liquidity problems and may be forced to dispose of material assets or operations, seek to obtain equity capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Such alternative measures may not be available or successful. Also, our debt covenants may limit our ability to dispose of material assets or operations or to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Even if we are able to restructure or refinance our indebtedness, the economic terms may not be favorable to us. In addition, an event of default under our key commercial contracts could result in a cross-default under our Credit Agreement. All of the foregoing could have serious consequences to our financial condition and results of operations and could cause us to become bankrupt or insolvent.
