Nemaura Medical Reports Financial Results and Provides Business Update for the First Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2021

Loughborough, England, Aug. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nemaura Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMRD) (“Nemaura” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing non-invasive wearable diagnostic devices and supporting personalized lifestyle coaching programs, today provides a business update and releases its financial results for the first fiscal quarter, ended June 30, 2021, of fiscal 2022.

Recent Corporate Highlights:

• Launched a digital healthcare subscription service in the U.S. under the brand name BEAT^®diabetes, targeted at over 25 million people with Type 2 diabetes and 88 million people with pre-diabetes in the U.S.
• Received positive feedback from the first users of sugarBEAT® as part of the soft launch in the UK, leading to purchase order for 200,000 sensors and a rolling purchase order forecast for 2 million sensors over the next 2 years.
• In discussions with several third parties regarding regional and global partnerships for sugarBEAT^® and the BEAT^®diabetes program.
• Repurposed sugarBEAT^® as a Continuous Temperature Monitor (CTM), and a technical file has since been prepared in readiness for submission and approvals in the U.S. and EU.
• Developed a metabolic health digital ecosystem combined with glucose monitoring targeting the obesity and pre-diabetes markets, with launch planned by the end of 2021 calendar year.
  
  

“Following positive results from a soft launch, we believe we are on the cusp of commercializing sugarBEAT^® in the UK and recognizing revenue from our licensee. Additionally, we expect to launch sugarBEAT^® in other EU countries, as well as in the Middle East, through regional partnerships. Diabetes is a worldwide health crisis, and our non-invasive, needle-free CGM is an innovative solution for patients with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, as well as those with pre-diabetes,” commented Dr. Faz Chowdhury, CEO of Nemaura Medical. “In the U.S., our on-going and planned pilot programs with BEAT^®diabetes continue to progress favourably. We are eager to address the worldwide diabetes crisis and commercialize our proprietary solutions in meaningful volumes, and wish for healthier lives for all struggling with diabetes. As we progress with our corporate, clinical, and regulatory milestones, we will provide future investor updates.”

Financial summary:

• Total operating expenses were approximately $1.6 million. The rise in general and administrative expenses was driven predominantly by higher wages due to increased headcount. Third party consultancy and contractors employed to support the operational scale up of the business across both the UK and U.S. also increased as we continue our progression towards product commercialization.
• Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 were $31.3 million, as compared to $31.9 million at March 31, 2021. Proceeds were received from the exercise of 366,892 warrants during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, amounting to $3 million.
• The Company submitted its initial “deposit invoice” in the amount of $513,000 to its UK licensee as partial payment of the order received for 200,000 sensors and associated devices. This will be converted into revenue once the Company begins delivery of the final product to its licensee, which is expected to begin in the quarter ending September 30, 2021.
