Medinotec Inc.

 

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Entities Financial Statements

 

For the period ended November 30, 2024 

 

1.  Description of Business 

 

Medinotec Inc. is a United States based company primarily invested in DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited (“DISA Medinotec”), a leading South African manufacturer and distributor of medical devices specializing in tracheal non-occlusive airway dilation technology.

 

Medinotec Inc. established Medinotec Capital Proprietary Limited as a wholly owned subsidiary in South Africa. In March 2022, Medinotec Capital successfully acquired DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited after demonstrating the feasibility of a private placement of at least $3 million. This acquisition formed the “Medinotec Group of Companies,” a South African-based medical device manufacturing and distribution entity.

 

While the majority of the Company’s operations are located in South Africa, it aims to expand its presence in the U.S. market.

 

Revenue generation from contracts in South Africa constitutes the largest segment of the Company’s operations and will be used to fund the rollout of its own intellectual property (IP) products in the United States.

 

The Company received FDA 510(k) approval for its flagship product, the Trachealator, in November 2021, facilitating its entry into the U.S. market.

 

Medinotec is quoted on the OTCQX and trades under the symbol MDNC. The Company is actively pursuing opportunities to enhance its sales and distribution operations in the U.S., aiming to diversify its revenue streams while continuing to strengthen its position in the South African market.

 

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

a.  Nature of business/basis of preparation

 

Basis of presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

 

Emerging Growth Company (ECG) status

 

The Company is an "emerging growth company" (EGC) as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). As an EGC, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and regulatory requirements applicable to other public companies. Emerging growth companies are permitted:

 

  to include less extensive narrative disclosure than required of other reporting companies, particularly in the description of executive compensation;

 

  to provide audited financial statements for two fiscal years, in contrast to other reporting companies, which must provide audited financial statements for three fiscal years;

 

  not to provide an auditor attestation of internal control over financial reporting under Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404(b);

 

  to defer complying with certain changes in accounting standards; and

 

  to use test-the-waters communications with qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors.

 

 F-5 

 

A company continues to be an emerging growth company for the first five fiscal years after it completes an IPO, unless one of the following occurs:

 

  its total annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more;

 

  it has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the past three years; or

 

  it becomes a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2.

 

The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act. As a result, its financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates. The Company intends to adopt the relevant standards upon losing its EGC status, unless it elects to forgo this election irrevocably.

 

In light of these factors, the Company recognizes that it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and regulatory requirements that are applicable to other public companies. This status provides the Company with flexibility as it seeks to grow its business and establish a stronger market presence.

 

b.  Foreign currency translation

 

i.      Translation of foreign subsidiary  

 

The accounts of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates and income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in the exchange rates are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity.

 

ii.      Exposed to currency variations in subsidiary

 

The primary operations and functional currency of both Disa Medinotec (Pty) Ltd and Medinotec Capital (Pty) Ltd is in South African Rand. Due to the emerging market nature of this currency the spread volatility of the currency low and high can be material during a year. The conversion of the currency from Rand to reporting currency US Dollar can cause significant up or downward trends that are recorded in reserves under the heading accumulated comprehensive income.

 

The functional currency as well as the reporting currency for Medinotec Inc is the US Dollar.

 

c.  Cash and cash equivalents

 

i.       Highly liquid investments

 

The Medinotec Group of Companies considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These cash equivalents consist primarily of term deposits and certificates of deposit. Investments with maturities from greater than three months to one year are classified as short-term investments, while those with maturities in excess of one year are classified as long-term investments. Cash equivalents and short-term investments are stated at cost which approximates market value.

 

 F-6 

 

d.  Accounts Receivables

 

i.       Allowance based on a review and management evaluation

 

Accounts receivables are presented on the consolidated balance sheets, net of estimated uncollectible amounts. The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable represent the maximum credit risk exposure of these assets.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326"), the Company evaluates the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable balances to determine an allowance for credit losses that reflects its best estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses.

 

An allowance for credit losses is calculated taking into account all accounts older than 91+ days (prior year: 121+ days).

 

e.  Property, plant and equipment

 

i.       Depreciation rates  

       
Plant and machinery     10 years
Laboratory equipment     5 years
Furniture and fixtures     6 years
Motor vehicles     5 years
Computer equipment     3 years
Office equipment     6 years
Computer software     2 years
Leasehold improvements     3 years
Small assets     1 year

 

The Company utilizes the straight-line method of depreciation for its assets, which allows for the systematic allocation of the cost of the asset over its useful life. The primary categories of assets include plant and machinery and laboratory equipment, which are depreciated based on their estimated useful lives, typically determined by industry standards and historical experience.

 

To establish the depreciation rate for each asset, the Company considers several factors, including the asset's purchase price, estimated useful life, and residual value at the end of that life. Useful lives are assessed based on the nature of the asset, technological advancements, and the expected rate of wear and tear. For other supportive assets, such as computer equipment, furniture and fittings, motor vehicles, office equipment, off-the-shelf software, leasehold improvements, and smaller assets, the straight-line method is also applied. Each asset's depreciation rate is reviewed periodically and adjusted if necessary to reflect changes in usage patterns or asset conditions. This method ensures that the expense recognition of these assets is consistent with their utilization and accurately reflects the Company’s financial position.

 

f.  Inventories

 

i.       Valuation, costing and obsolescence

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average) or net realizable value and consist of raw materials, work-in process and finished goods and include purchased materials, machine time, direct labor and manufacturing overhead.

 

Management evaluates the need to record adjustments to write down inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value on a quarterly basis. The Company’s policy is to assess the valuation of all inventories, including raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and it writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence based upon the age of inventory and assumptions about future demand and usage.

 

 F-7 

 

g.  Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Long-lived assets (asset group), such as property and equipment subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

 

The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value.

 

Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

 

h.  Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We determine the classification of the lease, whether operating or financing, at the lease commencement date, which is the date the leased assets are made available for use. We use the non-cancelable lease term when recognizing the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, unless it is reasonably certain that a renewal or termination option will be exercised. We account for lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component. Modifications are assessed to determine whether incremental differences result in new contract terms and accounted for as a new lease or whether the additional right of use should be included in the original lease and continue to be accounted for with the remaining ROU asset.

 

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments consist of the fixed payments under the arrangement, less any lease incentives. Variable costs, such as common area maintenance costs and additional payments for percentage rent, are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities but are expensed as incurred. As the implicit rate of the leases is not determinable, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments in determining the present value of the lease payments. Lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not recognize ROU assets on lease arrangements with a term of 12 months or less.

 

i.   Allowance for loan impairment

 

The Company records allowances for loan impairment when it is determined that the Company will be unable to collect amounts due to the Company according to the terms of the underlying agreement.

 

j.  Employee benefit plans

 

The Company contributes 2.5% of basic salaries for eligible employees to a pension plan registered under the laws of South Africa. The Company also contributes a portion of the medical aid contribution for eligible employees to an approved medical insurance scheme.

 

k.  Income taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 carryforwards.

 

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.

 

 F-8 

 

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

 

The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expenses.

 

l.  Financial instruments

 

i.           Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value accounting is applied to all assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The consolidated entities follow the established framework for measuring fair value and reports disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

ii.         Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and loans. The Company invests its excess cash in low-risk, highly liquid money market funds and certificates of deposit with a major financial institution.

 

iii.         Exposed to currency variations in subsidiary

 

The primary operations and functional currency of a subsidiary's business is in South African Rand. Due to the emerging market nature of this currency the spread volatility of the currency low and high can be material during a year. The conversion of the currency from Rand to reporting currency US Dollar can cause significant up or downward trends that is recorded in reserves under the heading accumulated comprehensive income. The effect on the reserves for the quarter ended November 30, 2024 was ($14,204) compared to $460 for the quarter ended November 30, 2023, and ($23,603) for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to $22,439 for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

iv.          Interest rate Risk

 

Market interest rate risk may result in loss from fluctuations in the future cash flows or fair values of financial instruments. Interest rate risk is managed principally through monitoring interest rate gaps and basis risk and by having pre-approved limits for repricing bands.

 

The interest rate risk relates predominantly to the related party loan.

 

m.  Comprehensive income/loss

 

i.            Comprehensive income/loss

 

Comprehensive income/loss consists of net income/loss and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from net income/loss. Our other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustment attributable to our operations. Refer to Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

 

Total foreign currency transaction gains and losses for the quarter ended November 30, 2024 was a $14,204 loss compared to a $460 gain for the quarter ended November 30, 2023, and a $23,603 loss for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to a $22,439 gain for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

 F-9 

 

n.  Revenue recognition

 

The Company generates revenues through two distinct revenue sources

 

  i. From the sale of high-quality medical devices which are self-manufactured through in-depth research and development; and

 

  ii. Through the distribution of finished products on behalf of other principals around the world into pre-agreed territories, which are usually exclusive territories granted by such principal.

 

The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its arrangements:

 

  i. identify the contract with a customer,
     
  ii. identify the performance obligations in the contract,
     
  iii. determine the transaction price,
     
  iv. allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and
     
  v. recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue from the sale of self-manufactured products

 

These products are developed in-house.

 

The Company’s clients are billed based on a pricelist that is agreed on in each customer’s contract. Orders are shipped on a per order basis from the Company’s warehouse with Free-On-Board terms.

 

Revenues relating to the self-manufactured products are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.

 

Revenue from the distribution of products

 

The distribution products are sold via a network, which consists of a mixture of sub-distributors and, in some instances, a direct sales force. The Company’s clients are billed based on a pricelist that are agreed upon in each customer contract, orders are shipped on a per order basis from the Company’s warehouse with Free-on-Board terms. The Company’s sub-distributors order from the Company on the same basis as its customers and have no preferential return rights on their inventory orders, therefore the client assumes the risk of the sale at point of invoice.

 

Revenues are recognized primarily when we transfer control to the customer, which can be on the date of shipment, the date of receipt by the customer or, for implants, when we have received a purchase order and appropriate notification the product has been used or implanted.

 

Goods delivered to a consignee pursuant to a consignment arrangement are not considered sales, and do not qualify for revenue recognition. Once it is determined that substantial risk of loss, rewards of ownership, as well as control of the asset have transferred to the consignee, revenue recognition would then be appropriate, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been satisfied.

 

 F-10 

 

For both revenue streams

 

The Company has two operating segments, inside the United States and outside the United States. These sales are split by these territories and further segregated into the specific revenue streams sold into these territories. Sales represent the amount of consideration we expect to receive from customers in exchange for transferring products and services. Net sales exclude sales and value added taxes we collect from customers. Other costs to obtain and fulfill contracts are generally expensed as incurred due to the short-term nature of most of our sales. We extend terms of payment to our customers based on commercially reasonable terms for the markets of our customers, while also considering their credit quality.

 

A provision for estimated sales returns, discounts and rebates is recognized as a reduction of sales in the same period that the sales are recognized. Our estimate of the provision for sales returns has been established based on contract terms with our customers and historical business practices and current trends. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in net sales.

 

The Company has no contract assets or liabilities representing accrued revenues that have not yet been billed to the customers due to certain contractual terms, because orders are placed, invoiced, and shipped on a per order basis as and when the clients require additional inventory. All revenue is recognized at a specific point and time.

 

Under ASC Topic 606, the Company estimates the transaction price, including variable consideration, at the commencement of the contract and recognizes revenue at point of sale when risks and rewards are transferred to the customer. There are no contract revenue agreements that would need to be recognized over time and the point of risks and rewards being transferred is very clear.

 

Payment Terms

 

Our payment terms vary per segments; export sales made from within South Africa are subject to prepayment, where accounts are granted. They generally have payment terms of 30 days from statement and sales made inside the United States are 45 to 60 days. Terms can be extended by the Company when it deems the business case and creditworthiness of the customer is strong enough. The time between a customer’s payment and the receipt of funds is not significant. The Company’s contracts with customers do not result in significant obligations associated with returns, refunds, or warranties. Payment terms are generally fixed and do not include variable revenues.

 

The Company sells a significant amount to DISA Life Sciences, a non-related medical device distributor in South Africa. For the quarter ending November 30, 2024, 94% of the Company's total revenue was derived from this single customer in the distribution environment in South Africa compared to 79% for the quarter ending November 30, 2023, and 92% for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to 66% for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

This table indicates the sales per revenue stream as a breakdown of the total revenue balance:

The major component of total assets is "Cash" of $2,676,525 as of November 30, 2024 and $2,808,910 as of February 29, 2024. A significant portion of this is maintained Inside the United States in USD of $2,068,417 as of November 30, 2024 and $2,478,434 as of February 29, 2024.

 

o.  Cost of goods sold

 

The cost of goods sold consists primarily of raw material purchases, manufacturing costs and employee benefits paid to operational personnel associated with the production of our medical devices.

 

p.  General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist mostly of personnel costs, consulting fees as well as audit fees.

 

q.  Research and development

 

The Company follows the guidance provided in ASC 730, "Research and Development," in accounting for research and development (R&D) expenses. R&D activities primarily focus on the development of new products through modifications of existing technologies or projects with an established proof of concept. As such, the Company typically incurs R&D expenses related to production support, process improvements, and quality enhancement initiatives.

 

In accordance with ASC 730, the Company expenses all R&D costs as incurred. This includes costs directly related to research activities, as well as expenses associated with the design, development, and testing of new products and processes.

 

In instances where R&D projects evolve and the nature of the expenses becomes capital in nature, the Company will evaluate these costs against the following criteria to determine if they should be capitalized:

 

  •  Technological Feasibility: The project must have reached a stage where technological feasibility has been established. This typically occurs when all necessary design, testing, and evaluation processes have been completed, and the product can be produced to meet its specifications.  
       
   •  Intent to Complete: There must be a clear intention to complete the project for sale or use. This involves assessing whether the Company plans to bring the product to market and if there is a viable market for it.  
       
   •  Future Economic Benefits: The project is expected to generate future economic benefits, such as revenue from product sales or cost savings from process improvements.  
       
   •  Directly Attributable Costs: The costs being evaluated for capitalization must be directly attributable to the development of the product or process, including materials, labor, and overhead.  

 

Any costs deemed eligible for capitalization will be recorded as assets and amortized over their useful lives, while all other R&D expenditures will continue to be expensed in the period incurred.

 

 F-13 

 

r.  Interest expense

 

Interest expense relates mostly to an unsecured loan from Minoan Medical, which is repayable over the next 2 years. The loan carries interest at the prevailing prime lending rate of the time. The prevailing lending rate in South Africa was 11.25% at November 30, 2024. The terms of this loan are deemed to be market related.

 

s.  Earnings per share

 

Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. This calculation provides a straightforward measure of the Company’s earnings attributable to each share.

 

Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Diluted earnings per share are computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, including options, warrants, and convertible securities. The calculation aims to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if these securities were converted into common shares.

 

In periods where the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share. This is because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

Treasury Stock Method

 

For options and warrants, the Company employs the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect. Under this method, it is assumed that the proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The number of shares repurchased is then subtracted from the total number of shares that would be issued upon exercise, resulting in the net increase in shares outstanding. This method effectively illustrates the potential dilution impact of these securities on earnings per share.

 

t.  Principles of consolidation

 

i.            Consolidated - all intercompany transactions eliminated

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medinotec Inc., Medinotec Capital Proprietary Limited and the financial statements of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited, known as the Medinotec Group of Companies. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

u.  Use of estimates

 

i.           Actual results could differ

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Additionally, these estimates influence the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates, which could have an impact on future periods.

 

 F-14 

 

Key estimates that management typically needs to make in a smaller medical device public company include:

 

  Revenue Recognition: Estimating the timing and amount of revenue to be recognized, particularly in relation to sales agreements, warranties, and return policies.  
       
  Inventory Valuation: Assessing the net realizable value of inventory, including potential obsolescence and excess stock, to ensure that inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.  
       
  Impairment of Assets: Determining whether there are indicators of impairment for long-lived assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, which involves assessing the recoverability of the asset's carrying value.  
       
  Clinical Trial Costs: Estimating the costs associated with clinical trials and research and development activities, which can be significant for product development.  
       
  Contingent Liabilities: Evaluating potential legal and regulatory claims, including product liabilities, and estimating the likelihood and potential financial impact of such claims.  
       
  Useful Lives of Assets: Estimating the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, as well as intangible assets, to determine appropriate depreciation and amortization expense.  
       

Management continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and various other factors, including current market conditions. Changes in these estimates may have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

v.  Recently issued accounting standards

 

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”), which addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. The amendments require certain joint ventures to apply a new basis of accounting upon formation by recognizing and initially measuring most of their assets and liabilities at fair value. The objectives of the amendments are to provide decision-useful information to investors and other allocators of capital in a joint venture’s financial statements and also to reduce diversity in practice. ASU 2023-05 is effective for both public and private joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may elect to apply the guidance retrospectively to joint ventures with a formation date prior to January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of a unit of account of the equity security, and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments also require the following disclosures for equity securities subject to the contractual sale restrictions.

 

1. The fair value of equity securities subject to the contractual sale restrictions is reflected on the balance sheet.

 

2. The nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s).

 

3. The circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s).

 

 F-15 

 

This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those financial years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which enhances transparency surrounding the use of supplier finance programs. The new guidance requires qualitative and quantitative disclosure sufficient to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude of such programs. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which amends the disclosure to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis for to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. All public entities will be required to report segment information in accordance with the new guidance starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of ASU 2023-06 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, " Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which amends the disclosure to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information and includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. For entities other than public business entities, the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing potential impacts of ASU 2023-09 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures and the Company is in a loss position and not incurring any tax expenses. 

 

3.  Fair Value Measurements

 

The Consolidated entities report all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2—Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3—Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

On November 30, 2024, and November 30, 2023, all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable were short term in nature, and their carrying amounts approximate fair value. Our current and long-term debt arrangements are classified as level 2 financial instruments.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment totaled approximately $24,892 for the quarter ending November 30, 2024 compared to $17,397 for the quarter ending November 30, 2023, and $73,429 for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to $54,664 for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

The Company has not acquired any property and equipment under capital leases.

 

Depreciation Allocation to Cost of Goods Sold:

 

A portion of the depreciation expense related to Property, Plant, and Equipment has been allocated to the Cost of Goods Sold. This practice is in accordance with the company's accounting policy, which recognizes a portion of the depreciation expense as part of the cost of producing goods.

 

The allocation of depreciation to Cost of Goods Sold is based on the estimation of the assets' usage in the production process. This method is employed to better match the cost of assets with the revenue generated during the period.

 

Depreciation of $5,685 was allocated to Cost of Goods Sold for the quarter ending November 30, 2024, compared to $5,793 for the quarter ending November 30, 2023, and $16,785 for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to $18,215 for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 F-17 

 

The write-down of inventory reflects management's assessment of net realizable value based on current market conditions and estimates of future sales. Once inventory has been written down, the new cost basis cannot be subsequently increased based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances. This ensures that inventory is accurately reported and reflects the economic realities of the Company’s operations.

 

The obsolescence reserve is established based on an analysis of inventory turnover, historical sales data, and future sales forecasts. The reserve is reviewed periodically and adjusted as necessary to ensure that the inventory value accurately represents the amount expected to be realized upon sale.

In November 2021, the Trachealator product received FDA approval, allowing the Company to enter the U.S. market. Recognizing the lack of established sales channels and infrastructure, management made a strategic investment by partnering with Innovative Outcomes, a distributor with a robust network. To facilitate this investment, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility of up to $750,000, which Innovative Outcomes would use to enhance its distribution capabilities while also supporting our operational efforts in this new territory.

 

This arrangement was not part of the Company’s normal course of business but rather a targeted investment activity aimed at market entry. However, during the quarter ending November 30, 2023, a significant change in strategic focus necessitated a reassessment of this partnership. The Company identified the need to market its products to niche surgical units, while Innovative Outcomes opted to concentrate solely on the wound care clinic market. This strategic misalignment prompted the decision to separate the developed network and infrastructure, allowing each entity to pursue its respective goals.

 

In accordance with U.S. GAAP ASC 310, the Company has determined that a full impairment of the note receivable from Innovative Outcomes is warranted. This decision is based on several critical factors:

 

  Deterioration of Financial Position: The financial position of Innovative Outcomes has deteriorated significantly, raising concerns about its ability to meet future obligations, including the repayment of the note.  
       
  Strategic Misalignment: The divergence in strategic focus between the Company and Innovative Outcomes has adversely impacted their relationship. This misalignment has hindered collaborative efforts, reducing the likelihood of successful recovery.  
       
 

Lack of Access to Information: The Company has been unable to obtain sufficient information to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the recoverability of the loan. This lack of transparency further compounds the uncertainty surrounding the receivable.

 

 

Given these circumstances, the Company recognized a full impairment reserve against the receivable as of November 30, 2023, along with all accrued interest to date. This decision reflects a commitment to accurate financial reporting and a conservative approach to asset valuation, ensuring that the financial statements present a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position. In September 2024, the full note became due and Innovative Outcomes has defaulted on the note based on non-payment.

 

As the loan incurs interest and has fixed repayment terms, the Company views this as an investment activity rather than a regular operational endeavor. Nonetheless, Innovative Outcomes remains liable for repayment, and interest will continue to accrue until maturity. Should payments be received, the provision will be reversed in alignment with the corresponding cash flow.

Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited:

 

Loans payable include an unsecured loan of $1,040,813 from Minoan Medical, the prior parent entity of DISA Medinotec in South Africa. This loan was initially obtained to support the working capital and capital expenditure expansions of DISA Medinotec during its developmental and startup phases. Following the acquisition of DISA Medinotec on March 2, 2022, the Company assumed this liability.

 

The Company is obligated to repay the loan within three years following its initial public offering (IPO), which is defined in the loan agreement as the point at which the business growth is sufficient to list on a national exchange. National exchanges in the United States include the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, and NYSE American. During this three-year period, the loan will accrue interest at the prevailing prime lending rate. As of November 30, 2024, the prevailing lending rate in South Africa was 11.25%. The terms of this loan are considered to be market-related. The Minoan Medical loan decreased by $130,441 during the quarter ending November 30, 2024.

 

The interest charged for the quarter was $31,487 and a 1% movement in the interest rates constitutes a value of $2,602. In light of the absence of current major merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, management has decided to prioritize the repayment of loan accounts using spare cash flows generated by the business. This strategic decision aims to strengthen the Company’s financial position and enhance financial stability. By reducing outstanding debt, the Company seeks to improve its leverage and overall financial position, positioning itself for future growth opportunities.

 

The Company has the option to make early settlement in cash or any form of equivalent.

 

Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited’s (“Minoan”) ultimate beneficial owner is the CEO of the Medinotec Group of Companies, Dr. Gregory Vizirgianakis. Minoan used to hold his medical investments and exports of which DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited was one of these investments before it was transferred into the Medinotec Group of Companies. Pieter van Niekerk, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, also serves as a director of Minoan.

9.  Commitments

 

a.   Leases and deferred rent

 

The Company leases offices which includes warehouse spaces under a cancelable operating lease agreement with contractual terms from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The Company is required to pay property taxes, insurance, and normal maintenance costs for certain of these facilities and will be required to pay any increases over the base year of these expenses on the remainder of the Company’s facilities.

 

Rental expense for operating leases for the three months ended November 30, 2024 was $8,310 compared to $7,797 for the period ended November 30, 2023, and $24,233 and $23,650 for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 and November 30, 2023 respectively.

 

Lease cost associated with operating leases is charged to general and administrative expenses in our consolidated financial statements. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. No extension period has been included in the determination of the right of use asset or the lease liability, as we concluded that it is not reasonably certain that we would exercise such option.

b.  Litigation  

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and may be subject to third-party infringement claims.

 

In the normal course of business, the consolidated entities may agree to indemnify third parties with whom it enters into contractual relationships, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Consolidated entities, with respect to certain matters. The Consolidated entities has agreed, under certain conditions, to hold these third parties harmless against specified losses, such as those arising from a breach of representations or covenants, other third-party claims that the Group’s products when used for their intended purposes infringe the intellectual property rights of such other third parties, or other claims made against certain parties. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under these indemnification obligations due to the Consolidated entities limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each claim.

 

 At the reporting date and to the Company’s knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our Company’s or our Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

11.  Income taxes

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, and 2023, our provision for income taxes was an expense of $171,163 and $63,022, respectively, and $418,383 for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to $62,483 for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

The effective tax rate for these periods was 36% and 15% for the 3 months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, and 38% for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to 14% for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

The effective tax rate is impacted by several factors, including:

 

  1. National, Federal and State Tax Rates: The statutory federal income tax rate is 21% for the United States and 27% for South Africa, compared to the effective tax rates disclosed above.  
  2. Permanent Differences: Certain items that are recognized in financial statements but are not taxable or deductible in the current period, such as relevant permanent differences specifically not allowed or which is capital in nature relating to the specific segments tax laws, impact our effective tax rate.  
  3. Temporary Differences: Timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses for tax purposes versus financial reporting purposes also contribute to the effective tax rate. Examples include depreciation methods, deferred tax assets/liabilities.  
  4. Tax Credits: Tax credits which may reduce our overall tax liability for the period.  
  5. Changes in Tax Legislation: Any recent changes in tax laws that may have affected our calculations, including will be taken into account.  
  6. Valuation Allowances: We evaluated the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets based on our assessment of future taxable income.  

 

This effective tax rate may differ from the statutory rate due to the aforementioned factors. We will continue to monitor our effective tax rate and make necessary adjustments as required by changes in our operations or tax legislation.

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2024, differed from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to permanent differences, which include GILTI (Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income) and foreign rate differentials. For the three months ended November 30, 2023, the effective tax rate also differed from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to foreign rate differentials.

 

As a U.S.-registered company with interests in South African entities, we are also considering our obligations under the OECD's Pillar II framework, which seeks to ensure that multinational enterprises pay a minimum level of tax. This framework informs our tax strategy and the management of our global tax liabilities. The tax rate in the territory of South Africa is 27% at the moment which is more than the 21% threshold in the U.S.

Business Overview

 

Medinotec Inc. established Medinotec Capital Proprietary Limited as a wholly owned subsidiary in South Africa. In March 2022, Medinotec Capital successfully acquired DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited after demonstrating the feasibility of a private placement of at least $3 million. This acquisition formed the Medinotec Group of Companies, a South African-based medical device manufacturing and distribution entity.

 

 4 

 

The Company engages in in-house manufacturing for products that leverage its intellectual know-how, while also utilizing cash flows generated from marketing products as distribution partners with major players in the industry. This distribution business supports the cash flows of the internally developed products while a market is being established for these offerings. Our internally developed products include:

 

The Trachealator

 

In 2018, DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited developed its most innovative product to date – the Trachealator. This award-winning (Medical Design Excellence Awards – Gold Winner 2021) balloon catheter was developed to address an unmet supply need in the specialty of advanced airway management, more specifically tracheal dilation. That makes this innovative product in our opinion a world first in its ability to dilate a patient’s airway while maintaining ventilation to the patient without obstructing his/her airway.

 

This life-saving device has quite literally changed the way that tracheal and, to a degree, bronchial stenosis, is managed in extremely ill patients. This is especially true in a post Covid-19 world where tracheal stenosis due to extended tracheal intubation is becoming an ever more frequent pathology encountered by surgeons, who, thanks to the Medinotec Group of Companies, now have a safe and effective tool at their disposal.

 

The Medinotec Group of Companies is currently in management’s opinion considered a global leader in tracheal non-occlusive airway dilation technology. This belief of management was formed on the fact that there are a number of airway dilation balloons that are offered for the management of tracheal stenosis, but to our knowledge all of them are occlusive in nature. The fact that the Trachealator is a non-occlusive airway solution, allowing for continuous ventilation during dilation, results in management believing that we could be regarded as a global leader in this technology.

 

Other products manufactured by The Medinotec Group of Companies include:

 

Aortic Valve Dilation Balloon Catheter (Developmental)

 

The Aortic Perfusion and Dilation Catheter is a non-occlusive perfusion balloon to allow the expansion of the aortic valve without impeding the cardiac output.

 

It is currently in the mid stages of research and development. This catheter could potentially be used to post dilate the artificial valve in TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) without the need for pacing.

 

A clinical study was conducted in 2022, as part of the development of the Technical File documentation, which is currently undergoing examination by our Notified Body (DEKRA).

 

FDA clearance via the 510(k) substantially equivalence process is currently under review, with the application being submitted on the 31st of May 2024.

 

The Micro CTO Catheter (Developmental)

 

We have developed a highly specific niche CTO (Chronic Total Occlusion) catheter balloon range with diameters of 0.70 to 1.25 mm, as a size range extension to the current Cape Cross Rx PTCA Balloon Catheter.

 

These micro-balloon catheters address an extremely specific market need for difficult coronary cases and will further cement our position as one of the premier specialized coronary balloon catheter manufacturers. The Technical File was submitted to our Notified Body at the end of July 2023 and is currently undergoing examination.

 

The process of obtaining FDA clearance for the full range of Cape Cross PTCA catheters via the 510(k) substantial equivalence process commenced in January 2024 and the expected submission date is February 2025.

 

 5 

 

The Tracheal Stent (Developmental)

 

We are currently in the initial stages of development of a new self-expanding, temporary, silicone tracheal stent to be used in conjunction with the Trachealator balloon in the treatment of tracheal stenosis.

 

The complimentary nature of this product will further build on our know-how in the field of advanced airway management.

For the nine months ending November 30, 2024, consolidated revenue was $5,588,445, compared to $2,769,547 in the corresponding period of the previous year, an increase of 102%.

 

Operating Segments

 

The Group operates through two primary segments: Sales Outside the United States and Domestic Sales. These segments represent the core of our business, with the former covering both in-house developed products and complementary products distributed on behalf of third parties, and the latter focusing on our proprietary Trachealator product within the United States.

 

1.Sales Outside the United States
This segment includes both the sale of the Group's in-house developed products (proprietary IP) and the distribution of third-party products. The third-party distribution component generally yields thinner margins due to pricing pressures, distributor agreements, and competition within the medical device distribution sector. However, the in-house products provide higher margins, driven by the value proposition of our proprietary technologies.

 

  The performance of this segment is strongly influenced by regional demand, regulatory considerations, and the success of our distributor partnerships, particularly in regions such as South Africa and broader Southern Africa.  
  Industry Trends: According to Grand View Research, the global medical device market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2024 to 2029, driven by rising healthcare expenditures, demographic shifts, and a growing need for medical devices in emerging markets. This trend supports the Group’s growth strategy for expanding our footprint in these markets and capitalizing on the increasing demand for both proprietary and third-party products.  

 

2.Domestic Sales (United States)
The Domestic Sales segment primarily focuses on our Trachealator product, which serves the respiratory market in the U.S. This product is a leading solution for tracheal stenosis, and we continue to see significant adoption within key healthcare institutions across the country.

 

  Revenue from this segment is primarily driven by increasing market penetration of the Trachealator, aided by favorable clinical outcomes, strategic sales channels, and strong relationships with U.S. healthcare providers. The U.S. market remains our second-largest by revenue, after South Africa, and continues to show robust growth potential as demand for respiratory solutions rises, particularly in the wake of heightened awareness and treatment focus of respiratory diseases.  
  Industry Trends: The U.S. medical device market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2024 to 2029, according to IBISWorld, driven by advances in minimally invasive technologies and increasing health spending. With an aging population and rising incidences of chronic respiratory conditions, the demand for innovative solutions such as the Trachealator is expected to continue to rise, benefiting the Group’s domestic sales efforts.

Sales Concentration

 

Sales between the Medinotec Group and DISA Life Sciences are expected to remain strong, driven by DISA’s well-established and extensive distribution network in South Africa. This partnership continues to be a key pillar of our revenue stream, particularly within the Sales Outside the United States segment, where South Africa represents a significant portion of our sales.

 

However, as part of our broader growth strategy, the Group is committed to reducing its reliance on the South African market by diversifying into more developed international markets. We aim to expand our footprint in regions such as North America, Europe, and select other promising markets, which present significant opportunities for growth and greater stability. The Group’s proprietary products offer strong potential in these regions, particularly in the U.S. and European markets, where demand for advanced minimal invasive medical devices is increasing.

 

Despite these efforts, there is no certainty that we will be able to significantly reduce our dependency on DISA Life Sciences for customer accounts in the short-to-medium term. Expansion into new markets comes with inherent risks, including the need for regulatory approvals, the challenge of building new distribution networks, and the competitive landscape in each region. These factors may delay or impede our ability to diversify successfully. As such, the risk of customer concentration will likely persist unless we are able to effectively address these challenges and build a more balanced and diversified revenue base.

 

Product Development

 

The Trachealator product received FDA clearance in November 2021, allowing the Company to market and sell this innovative product within the United States. This regulatory milestone is a significant achievement, as it not only expands the product's reach to a larger and more developed market but also strengthens the Group’s position in the highly competitive U.S. medical device landscape.

 

Among Medinotec’s most valuable assets are its long-term customer relationships, as well as its robust distribution and marketing network. These factors have played a key role in the success of the Group’s operations, particularly in South Africa, where our distribution partnership is supported by a team of over 100 sales representatives. This dedicated sales force covers approximately 60% of hospital theatre floors in South Africa on a weekly basis, ensuring that our products are consistently visible and accessible to key medical professionals. This successful distribution model has been pivotal in driving adoption and product penetration.

 

The Group now plans to replicate this proven model in the U.S. market, leveraging the FDA clearance of the Trachealator and the strength of our established sales force. This expansion into the U.S. is an important step in our strategy to build a broader, more diversified revenue base and to tap into the significant growth opportunities within the North American healthcare market.

 

Additionally, the Group has recently submitted the Aortic Dilation Balloon Catheter for FDA 510(k) clearance on May 31, 2024. If clearance is obtained, this product will become the Group's second FDA-approved offering in the North American market. The approval and subsequent launch of this product will further expand Medinotec’s portfolio and bolster its presence in the competitive cardiovascular market in North America, a key area of strategic growth.

Outside the U.S. Segment

 

Revenues from the Group’s Outside the U.S. segment, which includes both our proprietary and distributed products, showed substantial growth for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2024. Revenues increased by 26% and 116%, respectively, reaching $2,350,114 for the three-month period and $5,074,756 for the nine-month period, compared to $1,871,322 and $2,354,029 for the same periods in the prior year. This growth was primarily driven by the addition of new distribution revenue streams in South Africa and increased sales efforts for our in-house developed products.

 

Our sales of components are opportunistic in nature, typically occurring when we face over-supply situations or when stock is approaching expiration. These sales are a strategy to avoid writing off excess inventory, which arises due to the minimum stock purchase quantities required by our suppliers for the manufacturing line. In the nine months ended November 30, 2024, component sales significantly declined, dropping from $217,679 to $11,095 compared to the same period in the prior year. Similarly, for the three months ended November 30, 2024, component sales fell from $225,012 to $5,196. This decline reflects the absence of similar over-supply or near-expiration situations that were present in the previous year.

 

Despite the overall increase in revenues, we have observed a decline in sales volume for some of our internally designed and manufactured products in this segment. This drop is largely due to the Group's strategic focus on expanding the U.S. market, which has diverted significant resources and attention. Additionally, macroeconomic factors in Europe, including economic slowdown and currency fluctuations, have created market constraints that have impacted product sales in certain regions.

This compares to $131,225 and $415,518 for the same periods in the prior year. The revenue growth was primarily driven by intensified sales and marketing efforts aimed at increasing the visibility and adoption of our proprietary products.

 

Key initiatives in this segment that contributed to the growth include:

   Quarter Ended (unaudited)  Nine Months Ended (unaudited)
   November 30, 2024  November 30, 2023  November 30, 2024  November 30, 2023

Total cost of goods sold %   59%   57%   56%   47%
                     

The composition of the cost of sales figure as a % to the segments is as follows

 

   Quarter Ended (unaudited)  Nine Months Ended (unaudited)
   November 30, 2024  November 30, 2023  November 30, 2024  November 30, 2023
Outside United States of America %   98%   97%   98%   96%
Inside the United states of America %   2%   3%   2%   4%

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) increased, primarily reflecting the factors discussed earlier regarding the revenue growth in the period. As a result, gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased to 41%, compared to 43% in the same quarter of the prior year.

 

For the nine months ended November 30, 2024, COGS also rose, driven by similar factors impacting revenue. Gross margin for the year-to-date period was 44%, down from 53% in the prior year.

 

This decline in gross margin for both the quarter and year-to-date periods can be attributed primarily to a shift in the sales mix, with a higher proportion of distribution product volumes compared to in-house developed products, particularly in the South African market. Distribution products typically carry thinner margins than our proprietary products, which has led to a decrease in the overall gross margin.

 

Additionally, foreign exchange fluctuations have had a significant impact on COGS. A substantial portion of revenues generated outside of the U.S. is denominated in South African Rand (ZAR), which can be highly volatile. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the ZAR and U.S. Dollar materially affect our cost structure, contributing to the change in gross margin.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the quarter ended November 30, 2024, operating expenses were $513,325, down from $606,009 for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended November 30, 2024, operating expenses increased to $1,242,098, up from $1,116,936 for the same period in the prior year. The increase for the nine-month period was primarily driven by investments in growth initiatives, including sales and marketing activities, as well as higher compliance-related costs.

 

 11 

 

One of the major components that affects the operating expenses is the cost of compliance for the business which is included in the General and Administrative line item. Certain costs are once off in nature and others will be recurring.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $7,602 for the quarter and $20,195 for the nine months ending November 30, 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of new assets and the allocation of depreciation to products manufactured during the period. These assets, which include both equipment and intangible assets, have contributed to the rise in depreciation costs as they are progressively utilized in the production process. Total depreciation for the quarter, including amounts allocated to manufactured products, was $24,892, and $73,429 for the nine-month period ending November 30, 2024. This allocation reflects the capital investment in our manufacturing operations and is consistent with the company’s efforts to scale production and improve operational efficiency.

 

General and administrative expenses as a total decreased by $173,125 for the quarter and increased by $58,443 for the nine months ending November 30, 2024.

 

The most material causes of these movements are the following:

 

  There was a reclassification of amounts previously included in general and administrative expenses to revenue in the first quarter amounting to $327,950 in the segment outside the United States, excluding this, the line item increased by $154,825 for the three months ended November 30, 2024 and $386,393 for the nine months then ended, the largest contributing component relates to an increase in payroll costs of $79,349 for the three-month period and $113,387 year-to-date. This increase includes the payroll expenses associated with the new distribution line, reflecting the costs incurred.
  The remainder of the increase was due to compliance costs that were incurred.

   2024  2023  2024  2023  2024  2023
General and administrative expenses   522,048    336,950    488,181    614,836    1,010,229    951,786 
                               

The company’s strategy of leveraging less expensive, high-quality talent abroad is yielding positive results. This approach not only enhances our cost efficiency but also reinforces our commitment to maintaining a skilled workforce that is essential for driving our operations.

 

The remaining portion of general and administrative expenses is primarily compliance obligations, which are critical for a medical device company operating in a highly regulated market. These costs encompass regulatory filings, quality assurance initiatives, and other compliance measures necessary to meet industry standards. As a publicly traded entity, we also incur specific expenses related to our listing on the OTCQX markets. These expenses cover regulatory compliance, investor relations, and reporting requirements that are vital for maintaining transparency and accountability as a public enterprise. It is important to note that these public-related expenses are specific to our operations within the United States.

 

Collectively, these factors highlight the significance of stringent compliance and operational readiness within our cost structure, ensuring that we meet both regulatory requirements and the expectations of our stakeholders.

 

Research and development (R&D) expenses increased by $66,542 for the quarter and $69,296 for the nine months ending November 30, 2024. This increase reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing product performance and operational efficiencies. We adopt an R&D-light approach, focusing on commercially viable projects that prioritize higher returns on investment. This strategy ensures that our resources are allocated to projects with a higher likelihood of success, minimizing the risks associated with long-term, high-cost initiatives. Our R&D efforts are primarily directed towards process improvements and manufacturing efficiencies rather than more speculative, high-risk developments. By paying R&D royalties and selecting projects that are closer to commercialization, we optimize our R&D expenditures and ensure a more predictable path to market.

 

In Quarter 3, a significant investment of $50,000 was made to fund an American-based research study led by a reputable surgeon in the United States. This study aims to provide valuable clinical insights into the Trachealator product and is expected to bolster confidence in its performance. We believe that the outcomes of this research will not only validate the product's effectiveness but also enhance the rollout of the Trachealator in the U.S. market, supporting broader adoption and driving growth in this key territory.

 

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $6,297 for the quarter but decreased by $22,772 for the nine months ending November 30, 2024. The reduction in expenses for the nine-month period is primarily due to our increased reliance on distributors across all territories. This strategy has allowed for a better alignment of costs with item sales, reducing the need for a full-time staff dedicated solely to sales activities, whose expenses could accumulate over time without a direct link to sales performance.

 

 13 

 

While we’ve shifted towards a distributor model in many regions, we continue to deliver products directly to customers in order to preserve our strong relationships and ensure that we maintain direct contact with clients, particularly in the U.S. market. This direct engagement remains a priority as it strengthens customer loyalty and provides valuable insights for future product development.

 

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses can also be attributed to the timing of conferences and marketing events, which can vary from year to year and create discrepancies when comparing expenses across periods.

 

It is also important to note that our flat organizational structure allows for flexibility in staff roles. Sales personnel are able to transition into operational and manufacturing positions, and vice versa. While this adaptability provides a competitive advantage by allowing us to optimize staff allocation based on business needs, it can lead to variability in quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons across different expense categories.

 

 Net Income / (Loss)

 

Net income for the quarter ending November 30, 2024, was $310,311, a significant improvement from a net loss of $492,371 for the same quarter ending November 30, 2023. For the nine months ended November 30, 2024, net income was $682,264, up from a net loss of $503,248 in the corresponding nine-month period of the previous year.

 

This positive change is primarily attributable to increased sales, as previously discussed.

 

Included in net income is the contribution to income or loss from operations by segment for the quarter ending November 30, 2024. This metric is viewed as the most accurate and operationally driven indicator to illustrate the impact of each segment on net income. By focusing on the contribution from operations, we can more clearly assess how each segment performs independently, allowing for a better understanding of their respective efficiencies and profitability. This approach provides valuable insights into the operational health of the business and supports informed decision-making for future strategic initiatives.

The loss-making nature of the Inside the United States segment, in contrast to the profitability of the segment outside the United States, can be attributed to the differing phases of business maturity. The Inside the USA segment is currently in an active build-up phase, reflecting its less mature status, while the segment outside the USA has reached a more established stage of development.

 

Furthermore, the Inside the USA territory incurs higher operating and running costs compared to the segment outside the USA. This disparity in expenses provides a competitive advantage for the outside USA segment, where highly skilled South African professionals can be engaged at a lower cost than would be required for similar services within the USA. As a result, the outside USA segment benefits from a more favorable cost structure, contributing to its profitability while the Inside USA segment continues to develop.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of November 30, 2024, the Company reported current assets of $4,920,314 and total assets of $5,362,621. Current liabilities at the same date were $1,474,968, resulting in working capital of $3,445,346. This compares with February 29, 2024 when current assets were $4,379,297 and total assets were $4,804,279, with current liabilities of $827,453 and working capital of $3,551,844. The growth in total assets reflects strong capital resources closely linked to our recent revenue growth, driven by enhanced sales and marketing efforts in both domestic and international markets. Working capital reduced due to strategic use of current assets to reduce long term liabilities in the form of the related party loan. This was done due to operating in a high interest environment – refer to note 7.

 

We believe that the funds generated from operations, along with our existing cash reserves, will be sufficient to finance our current operations and meet our obligations over the next twelve months. Our operational cash flow is expected to support our activities beyond the next twelve months, although we remain open to exploring additional funding sources as needed for growth initiatives discussed below.

 

In terms of capital allocation for research and development (R&D), we adopt an R&D-light approach. This strategy focuses on commercially viable projects, prioritizing investments that promise higher returns. Our R&D efforts are primarily centered on process improvement and manufacturing efficiencies rather than high-risk initiatives. By opting to pay R&D royalties and select projects that are closer to commercialization, we ensure a higher likelihood of success and minimize resource allocation to less promising ventures.

 

Looking ahead, we plan to undertake clinical write-ups in new territories to facilitate market entry and compliance with local regulations. We do not anticipate exceeding $50,000 for these activities, maintaining a disciplined approach to expenses while capitalizing on growth opportunities.

 

To further support potential acquisitions, strategic partnerships, capital expenditures, and the expansion of our R&D initiatives, we may consider seeking additional debt or equity financing or establishing lines of credit to supplement cash flows from operations. This proactive approach will enable us to leverage our financial position for sustainable growth and innovation.

 

Cash flow movements

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows from continuing operations for the periods indicated:

 

   

Nine Months Ended November 30, 2024 (unaudited)

($)

 

Nine Months Ended November 30, 2023 (unaudited)

($)

Net cash provided by (used in):                
Operating Activities     779,119       101,232  
Investing Activities     (90,359 )     (851 )
Financing Activities     (843,555 )     (282,552 )

  

Cash flows from Operating Activities

 

For the nine months ended November 30, 2024, our operating cash flows experienced a significant turnaround, moving from a positive cash generation of $101,232 in the prior period to a positive cash generation of $779,119. This notable improvement in operating cash flow can be attributed primarily to enhanced profitability and effective management of working capital.

 

 15 

 

Profitability Improvement

 

During this period, we reported an increase in profitability with a net profit after tax of $682,264, compared to a loss of $503,248 in the same period last year. This shift was largely driven by robust sales growth in our Outside the USA segment, specifically within our newly acquired cardiology distribution business, which commenced operations in the third quarter of 2023 in South Arica. The expansion in this segment has been instrumental in driving our revenue upward and enhancing our overall profitability.

 

Working Capital Movements

 
In addition to the improvement in profitability, the remaining increase in cash generated from operations was influenced by favorable movements in working capital. We effectively managed our trade receivables, inventory, and accounts payable to support the revenue growth in the cardiology distribution business.

 

  •  Trade Receivables: Trade receivables increased by $353,323 for the nine months ended November 30, 2024 compared to an increase of $55,156 for the same period in the previous year, directly resulting from increased revenues.
  •  Inventory Management: We optimized our inventory levels to align with increased demand, ensuring that we maintain sufficient stock without overcommitting resources. Inventories increased by $234,558 for the nine months ended November 30, 2024 compared to a decrease of $357,977 for the same period in the previous year.
  •  Accounts Payable: We strategically managed our payables, taking advantage of favorable payment terms to maintain liquidity while supporting our growth objectives. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $285,442 for the nine month period ended November 30, 2024 compared to an increase of $263,291 for the same period in the previous year.

  

Furthermore, the company's ability to maintain strong relationships with suppliers and customers is critical in ensuring a steady flow of cash. Our commitment to direct customer engagement, even as we utilize distributors, helps preserve these relationships, facilitating smoother transactions and improved cash flow stability.

 

Overall, the combination of increased profitability, operational efficiencies, effective management of payment timing, and strong supplier relationships has positioned us well to enhance our cash flows from operating activities. We remain committed to sustaining this positive momentum as we continue to expand our market presence and drive growth in our key business segments.

 

Cash flows from Investing Activities

 

For the period ending November 30, 2024, we reported an increase in net cash used in investing activities of $90,359, compared to $851 in the prior period. The cash flows used in investing activities relate to the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

 

Cash flow from Financing Activities

 

For the nine months ending November 30, 2024, we reported a use of cash from financing activities of $843,555, compared with cash used of $282,552 in the prior period ending November 30, 2023. This change was primarily driven by the repayment of a portion of the related party loan during the current period, compared with the previous period, which included proceeds from long-term debt that contributed to higher cash inflows from the same loan facility.

 

The repayment of the related party loan is indicative of our improved financial stability and a commitment to reducing leverage, which represents a positive development for the business. By lowering our debt obligations, we enhance our balance sheet, reduce interest expenses, and position ourselves for better cash flow in the long term. This proactive management of debt not only strengthens our financial position but also enhances our financial flexibility, allowing us to allocate resources more effectively toward growth initiatives, operational improvements, and strategic investments.

 

 16 

Additionally, the decrease in reliance on external financing to fund operations suggests that our core business activities are generating sufficient cash flow. This transition reflects a healthier financial foundation and fosters greater confidence among investors and stakeholders regarding our sustainability and growth prospects.

 

Overall, we believe these developments underscore our strategic focus on long-term value creation and position us favorably for future growth opportunities. 

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of November 30, 2024, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as described in the footnotes to our financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2024; however, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue from the revenue of self-manufactured products, revenue from the distribution of products, allowance for note receivable impairment, and inventories valuation, costing and obsolescence.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated results of operation, financial position or cash flow.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, during the period ended November 30, 2024, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that during the period ended November 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report i.e. the period ended November 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

1. Description of Business

1.  Description of Business 

 

Medinotec Inc. is a United States based company primarily invested in DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited (“DISA Medinotec”), a leading South African manufacturer and distributor of medical devices specializing in tracheal non-occlusive airway dilation technology.

 

Medinotec Inc. established Medinotec Capital Proprietary Limited as a wholly owned subsidiary in South Africa. In March 2022, Medinotec Capital successfully acquired DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited after demonstrating the feasibility of a private placement of at least $3 million. This acquisition formed the “Medinotec Group of Companies,” a South African-based medical device manufacturing and distribution entity.

 

While the majority of the Company’s operations are located in South Africa, it aims to expand its presence in the U.S. market.

 

Revenue generation from contracts in South Africa constitutes the largest segment of the Company’s operations and will be used to fund the rollout of its own intellectual property (IP) products in the United States.

 

The Company received FDA 510(k) approval for its flagship product, the Trachealator, in November 2021, facilitating its entry into the U.S. market.

 

Medinotec is quoted on the OTCQX and trades under the symbol MDNC. The Company is actively pursuing opportunities to enhance its sales and distribution operations in the U.S., aiming to diversify its revenue streams while continuing to strengthen its position in the South African market.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

a.  Nature of business/basis of preparation

 

Basis of presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

 

Emerging Growth Company (ECG) status

 

The Company is an "emerging growth company" (EGC) as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). As an EGC, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and regulatory requirements applicable to other public companies. Emerging growth companies are permitted:

 

  to include less extensive narrative disclosure than required of other reporting companies, particularly in the description of executive compensation;

 

  to provide audited financial statements for two fiscal years, in contrast to other reporting companies, which must provide audited financial statements for three fiscal years;

 

  not to provide an auditor attestation of internal control over financial reporting under Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404(b);

 

  to defer complying with certain changes in accounting standards; and

 

  to use test-the-waters communications with qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors.

 

 

A company continues to be an emerging growth company for the first five fiscal years after it completes an IPO, unless one of the following occurs:

 

  its total annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more;

 

  it has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the past three years; or

 

  it becomes a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2.

 

The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act. As a result, its financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates. The Company intends to adopt the relevant standards upon losing its EGC status, unless it elects to forgo this election irrevocably.

 

In light of these factors, the Company recognizes that it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and regulatory requirements that are applicable to other public companies. This status provides the Company with flexibility as it seeks to grow its business and establish a stronger market presence.

 

b.  Foreign currency translation

 

i.      Translation of foreign subsidiary  

 

The accounts of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates and income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in the exchange rates are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity.

 

ii.      Exposed to currency variations in subsidiary

 

The primary operations and functional currency of both Disa Medinotec (Pty) Ltd and Medinotec Capital (Pty) Ltd is in South African Rand. Due to the emerging market nature of this currency the spread volatility of the currency low and high can be material during a year. The conversion of the currency from Rand to reporting currency US Dollar can cause significant up or downward trends that are recorded in reserves under the heading accumulated comprehensive income.

 

The functional currency as well as the reporting currency for Medinotec Inc is the US Dollar.

 

c.  Cash and cash equivalents

 

i.       Highly liquid investments

 

The Medinotec Group of Companies considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These cash equivalents consist primarily of term deposits and certificates of deposit. Investments with maturities from greater than three months to one year are classified as short-term investments, while those with maturities in excess of one year are classified as long-term investments. Cash equivalents and short-term investments are stated at cost which approximates market value.

 

 

d.  Accounts Receivables

 

i.       Allowance based on a review and management evaluation

 

Accounts receivables are presented on the consolidated balance sheets, net of estimated uncollectible amounts. The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable represent the maximum credit risk exposure of these assets.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326"), the Company evaluates the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable balances to determine an allowance for credit losses that reflects its best estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses.

 

An allowance for credit losses is calculated taking into account all accounts older than 91+ days (prior year: 121+ days).

 

e.  Property, plant and equipment

 

i.       Depreciation rates  

       
Plant and machinery     10 years
Laboratory equipment     5 years
Furniture and fixtures     6 years
Motor vehicles     5 years
Computer equipment     3 years
Office equipment     6 years
Computer software     2 years
Leasehold improvements     3 years
Small assets     1 year

 

The Company utilizes the straight-line method of depreciation for its assets, which allows for the systematic allocation of the cost of the asset over its useful life. The primary categories of assets include plant and machinery and laboratory equipment, which are depreciated based on their estimated useful lives, typically determined by industry standards and historical experience.

 

To establish the depreciation rate for each asset, the Company considers several factors, including the asset's purchase price, estimated useful life, and residual value at the end of that life. Useful lives are assessed based on the nature of the asset, technological advancements, and the expected rate of wear and tear. For other supportive assets, such as computer equipment, furniture and fittings, motor vehicles, office equipment, off-the-shelf software, leasehold improvements, and smaller assets, the straight-line method is also applied. Each asset's depreciation rate is reviewed periodically and adjusted if necessary to reflect changes in usage patterns or asset conditions. This method ensures that the expense recognition of these assets is consistent with their utilization and accurately reflects the Company’s financial position.

 

f.  Inventories

 

i.       Valuation, costing and obsolescence

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average) or net realizable value and consist of raw materials, work-in process and finished goods and include purchased materials, machine time, direct labor and manufacturing overhead.

 

Management evaluates the need to record adjustments to write down inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value on a quarterly basis. The Company’s policy is to assess the valuation of all inventories, including raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and it writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence based upon the age of inventory and assumptions about future demand and usage.

 

 

g.  Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Long-lived assets (asset group), such as property and equipment subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

 

The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value.

 

Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

 

h.  Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We determine the classification of the lease, whether operating or financing, at the lease commencement date, which is the date the leased assets are made available for use. We use the non-cancelable lease term when recognizing the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, unless it is reasonably certain that a renewal or termination option will be exercised. We account for lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component. Modifications are assessed to determine whether incremental differences result in new contract terms and accounted for as a new lease or whether the additional right of use should be included in the original lease and continue to be accounted for with the remaining ROU asset.

 

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments consist of the fixed payments under the arrangement, less any lease incentives. Variable costs, such as common area maintenance costs and additional payments for percentage rent, are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities but are expensed as incurred. As the implicit rate of the leases is not determinable, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments in determining the present value of the lease payments. Lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not recognize ROU assets on lease arrangements with a term of 12 months or less.

 

i.   Allowance for loan impairment

 

The Company records allowances for loan impairment when it is determined that the Company will be unable to collect amounts due to the Company according to the terms of the underlying agreement.

 

j.  Employee benefit plans

 

The Company contributes 2.5% of basic salaries for eligible employees to a pension plan registered under the laws of South Africa. The Company also contributes a portion of the medical aid contribution for eligible employees to an approved medical insurance scheme.

 

k.  Income taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 carryforwards.

 

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.

 

 

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

 

The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expenses.

 

l.  Financial instruments

 

i.           Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value accounting is applied to all assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The consolidated entities follow the established framework for measuring fair value and reports disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

ii.         Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and loans. The Company invests its excess cash in low-risk, highly liquid money market funds and certificates of deposit with a major financial institution.

 

iii.         Exposed to currency variations in subsidiary

 

The primary operations and functional currency of a subsidiary's business is in South African Rand. Due to the emerging market nature of this currency the spread volatility of the currency low and high can be material during a year. The conversion of the currency from Rand to reporting currency US Dollar can cause significant up or downward trends that is recorded in reserves under the heading accumulated comprehensive income. The effect on the reserves for the quarter ended November 30, 2024 was ($14,204) compared to $460 for the quarter ended November 30, 2023, and ($23,603) for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to $22,439 for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

iv.          Interest rate Risk

 

Market interest rate risk may result in loss from fluctuations in the future cash flows or fair values of financial instruments. Interest rate risk is managed principally through monitoring interest rate gaps and basis risk and by having pre-approved limits for repricing bands.

 

The interest rate risk relates predominantly to the related party loan.

 

m.  Comprehensive income/loss

 

i.            Comprehensive income/loss

 

Comprehensive income/loss consists of net income/loss and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from net income/loss. Our other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustment attributable to our operations. Refer to Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

 

Total foreign currency transaction gains and losses for the quarter ended November 30, 2024 was a $14,204 loss compared to a $460 gain for the quarter ended November 30, 2023, and a $23,603 loss for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to a $22,439 gain for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

 

n.  Revenue recognition

 

The Company generates revenues through two distinct revenue sources

 

  i. From the sale of high-quality medical devices which are self-manufactured through in-depth research and development; and

 

  ii. Through the distribution of finished products on behalf of other principals around the world into pre-agreed territories, which are usually exclusive territories granted by such principal.

 

The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its arrangements:

 

  i. identify the contract with a customer,
     
  ii. identify the performance obligations in the contract,
     
  iii. determine the transaction price,
     
  iv. allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and
     
  v. recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue from the sale of self-manufactured products

 

These products are developed in-house.

 

The Company’s clients are billed based on a pricelist that is agreed on in each customer’s contract. Orders are shipped on a per order basis from the Company’s warehouse with Free-On-Board terms.

 

Revenues relating to the self-manufactured products are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.

 

Revenue from the distribution of products

 

The distribution products are sold via a network, which consists of a mixture of sub-distributors and, in some instances, a direct sales force. The Company’s clients are billed based on a pricelist that are agreed upon in each customer contract, orders are shipped on a per order basis from the Company’s warehouse with Free-on-Board terms. The Company’s sub-distributors order from the Company on the same basis as its customers and have no preferential return rights on their inventory orders, therefore the client assumes the risk of the sale at point of invoice.

 

Revenues are recognized primarily when we transfer control to the customer, which can be on the date of shipment, the date of receipt by the customer or, for implants, when we have received a purchase order and appropriate notification the product has been used or implanted.

 

Goods delivered to a consignee pursuant to a consignment arrangement are not considered sales, and do not qualify for revenue recognition. Once it is determined that substantial risk of loss, rewards of ownership, as well as control of the asset have transferred to the consignee, revenue recognition would then be appropriate, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been satisfied.

 

 

For both revenue streams

 

The Company has two operating segments, inside the United States and outside the United States. These sales are split by these territories and further segregated into the specific revenue streams sold into these territories. Sales represent the amount of consideration we expect to receive from customers in exchange for transferring products and services. Net sales exclude sales and value added taxes we collect from customers. Other costs to obtain and fulfill contracts are generally expensed as incurred due to the short-term nature of most of our sales. We extend terms of payment to our customers based on commercially reasonable terms for the markets of our customers, while also considering their credit quality.

 

A provision for estimated sales returns, discounts and rebates is recognized as a reduction of sales in the same period that the sales are recognized. Our estimate of the provision for sales returns has been established based on contract terms with our customers and historical business practices and current trends. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in net sales.

 

The Company has no contract assets or liabilities representing accrued revenues that have not yet been billed to the customers due to certain contractual terms, because orders are placed, invoiced, and shipped on a per order basis as and when the clients require additional inventory. All revenue is recognized at a specific point and time.

 

Under ASC Topic 606, the Company estimates the transaction price, including variable consideration, at the commencement of the contract and recognizes revenue at point of sale when risks and rewards are transferred to the customer. There are no contract revenue agreements that would need to be recognized over time and the point of risks and rewards being transferred is very clear.

 

Payment Terms

 

Our payment terms vary per segments; export sales made from within South Africa are subject to prepayment, where accounts are granted. They generally have payment terms of 30 days from statement and sales made inside the United States are 45 to 60 days. Terms can be extended by the Company when it deems the business case and creditworthiness of the customer is strong enough. The time between a customer’s payment and the receipt of funds is not significant. The Company’s contracts with customers do not result in significant obligations associated with returns, refunds, or warranties. Payment terms are generally fixed and do not include variable revenues.

 

The Company sells a significant amount to DISA Life Sciences, a non-related medical device distributor in South Africa. For the quarter ending November 30, 2024, 94% of the Company's total revenue was derived from this single customer in the distribution environment in South Africa compared to 79% for the quarter ending November 30, 2023, and 92% for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to 66% for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

The major component of total assets is "Cash" of $2,676,525 as of November 30, 2024 and $2,808,910 as of February 29, 2024. A significant portion of this is maintained Inside the United States in USD of $2,068,417 as of November 30, 2024 and $2,478,434 as of February 29, 2024.

 

o.  Cost of goods sold

 

The cost of goods sold consists primarily of raw material purchases, manufacturing costs and employee benefits paid to operational personnel associated with the production of our medical devices.

 

p.  General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist mostly of personnel costs, consulting fees as well as audit fees.

 

q.  Research and development

 

The Company follows the guidance provided in ASC 730, "Research and Development," in accounting for research and development (R&D) expenses. R&D activities primarily focus on the development of new products through modifications of existing technologies or projects with an established proof of concept. As such, the Company typically incurs R&D expenses related to production support, process improvements, and quality enhancement initiatives.

 

In accordance with ASC 730, the Company expenses all R&D costs as incurred. This includes costs directly related to research activities, as well as expenses associated with the design, development, and testing of new products and processes.

 

In instances where R&D projects evolve and the nature of the expenses becomes capital in nature, the Company will evaluate these costs against the following criteria to determine if they should be capitalized:

 

  •  Technological Feasibility: The project must have reached a stage where technological feasibility has been established. This typically occurs when all necessary design, testing, and evaluation processes have been completed, and the product can be produced to meet its specifications.  
       
   •  Intent to Complete: There must be a clear intention to complete the project for sale or use. This involves assessing whether the Company plans to bring the product to market and if there is a viable market for it.  
       
   •  Future Economic Benefits: The project is expected to generate future economic benefits, such as revenue from product sales or cost savings from process improvements.  
       
   •  Directly Attributable Costs: The costs being evaluated for capitalization must be directly attributable to the development of the product or process, including materials, labor, and overhead.  

 

Any costs deemed eligible for capitalization will be recorded as assets and amortized over their useful lives, while all other R&D expenditures will continue to be expensed in the period incurred.

 

 

r.  Interest expense

 

Interest expense relates mostly to an unsecured loan from Minoan Medical, which is repayable over the next 2 years. The loan carries interest at the prevailing prime lending rate of the time. The prevailing lending rate in South Africa was 11.25% at November 30, 2024. The terms of this loan are deemed to be market related.

 

s.  Earnings per share

 

Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. This calculation provides a straightforward measure of the Company’s earnings attributable to each share.

 

Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Diluted earnings per share are computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, including options, warrants, and convertible securities. The calculation aims to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if these securities were converted into common shares.

 

In periods where the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share. This is because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

Treasury Stock Method

 

For options and warrants, the Company employs the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect. Under this method, it is assumed that the proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The number of shares repurchased is then subtracted from the total number of shares that would be issued upon exercise, resulting in the net increase in shares outstanding. This method effectively illustrates the potential dilution impact of these securities on earnings per share.

 

t.  Principles of consolidation

 

i.            Consolidated - all intercompany transactions eliminated

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medinotec Inc., Medinotec Capital Proprietary Limited and the financial statements of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited, known as the Medinotec Group of Companies. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

u.  Use of estimates

 

i.           Actual results could differ

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Additionally, these estimates influence the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates, which could have an impact on future periods.

 

 

Key estimates that management typically needs to make in a smaller medical device public company include:

 

  Revenue Recognition: Estimating the timing and amount of revenue to be recognized, particularly in relation to sales agreements, warranties, and return policies.  
       
  Inventory Valuation: Assessing the net realizable value of inventory, including potential obsolescence and excess stock, to ensure that inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.  
       
  Impairment of Assets: Determining whether there are indicators of impairment for long-lived assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, which involves assessing the recoverability of the asset's carrying value.  
       
  Clinical Trial Costs: Estimating the costs associated with clinical trials and research and development activities, which can be significant for product development.  
       
  Contingent Liabilities: Evaluating potential legal and regulatory claims, including product liabilities, and estimating the likelihood and potential financial impact of such claims.  
       
  Useful Lives of Assets: Estimating the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, as well as intangible assets, to determine appropriate depreciation and amortization expense.  
       

Management continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and various other factors, including current market conditions. Changes in these estimates may have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

v.  Recently issued accounting standards

 

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”), which addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. The amendments require certain joint ventures to apply a new basis of accounting upon formation by recognizing and initially measuring most of their assets and liabilities at fair value. The objectives of the amendments are to provide decision-useful information to investors and other allocators of capital in a joint venture’s financial statements and also to reduce diversity in practice. ASU 2023-05 is effective for both public and private joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may elect to apply the guidance retrospectively to joint ventures with a formation date prior to January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of a unit of account of the equity security, and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments also require the following disclosures for equity securities subject to the contractual sale restrictions.

 

1. The fair value of equity securities subject to the contractual sale restrictions is reflected on the balance sheet.

 

2. The nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s).

 

3. The circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s).

 

 

This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those financial years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which enhances transparency surrounding the use of supplier finance programs. The new guidance requires qualitative and quantitative disclosure sufficient to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude of such programs. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which amends the disclosure to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis for to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. All public entities will be required to report segment information in accordance with the new guidance starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of ASU 2023-06 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, " Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which amends the disclosure to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information and includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. For entities other than public business entities, the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing potential impacts of ASU 2023-09 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures and the Company is in a loss position and not incurring any tax expenses.

3. Fair Value Measurements

3.  Fair Value Measurements

 

The Consolidated entities report all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2—Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3—Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

On November 30, 2024, and November 30, 2023, all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable were short term in nature, and their carrying amounts approximate fair value. Our current and long-term debt arrangements are classified as level 2 financial instruments.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment totaled approximately $24,892 for the quarter ending November 30, 2024 compared to $17,397 for the quarter ending November 30, 2023, and $73,429 for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to $54,664 for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

The Company has not acquired any property and equipment under capital leases.

 

Depreciation Allocation to Cost of Goods Sold:

 

A portion of the depreciation expense related to Property, Plant, and Equipment has been allocated to the Cost of Goods Sold. This practice is in accordance with the company's accounting policy, which recognizes a portion of the depreciation expense as part of the cost of producing goods.

 

The allocation of depreciation to Cost of Goods Sold is based on the estimation of the assets' usage in the production process. This method is employed to better match the cost of assets with the revenue generated during the period.

 

Depreciation of $5,685 was allocated to Cost of Goods Sold for the quarter ending November 30, 2024, compared to $5,793 for the quarter ending November 30, 2023, and $16,785 for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to $18,215 for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

The write-down of inventory reflects management's assessment of net realizable value based on current market conditions and estimates of future sales. Once inventory has been written down, the new cost basis cannot be subsequently increased based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances. This ensures that inventory is accurately reported and reflects the economic realities of the Company’s operations.

 

The obsolescence reserve is established based on an analysis of inventory turnover, historical sales data, and future sales forecasts. The reserve is reviewed periodically and adjusted as necessary to ensure that the inventory value accurately represents the amount expected to be realized upon sale.

In November 2021, the Trachealator product received FDA approval, allowing the Company to enter the U.S. market. Recognizing the lack of established sales channels and infrastructure, management made a strategic investment by partnering with Innovative Outcomes, a distributor with a robust network. To facilitate this investment, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility of up to $750,000, which Innovative Outcomes would use to enhance its distribution capabilities while also supporting our operational efforts in this new territory.

 

This arrangement was not part of the Company’s normal course of business but rather a targeted investment activity aimed at market entry. However, during the quarter ending November 30, 2023, a significant change in strategic focus necessitated a reassessment of this partnership. The Company identified the need to market its products to niche surgical units, while Innovative Outcomes opted to concentrate solely on the wound care clinic market. This strategic misalignment prompted the decision to separate the developed network and infrastructure, allowing each entity to pursue its respective goals.

 

In accordance with U.S. GAAP ASC 310, the Company has determined that a full impairment of the note receivable from Innovative Outcomes is warranted. This decision is based on several critical factors:

 

  Deterioration of Financial Position: The financial position of Innovative Outcomes has deteriorated significantly, raising concerns about its ability to meet future obligations, including the repayment of the note.  
       
  Strategic Misalignment: The divergence in strategic focus between the Company and Innovative Outcomes has adversely impacted their relationship. This misalignment has hindered collaborative efforts, reducing the likelihood of successful recovery.  
       
 

Lack of Access to Information: The Company has been unable to obtain sufficient information to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the recoverability of the loan. This lack of transparency further compounds the uncertainty surrounding the receivable.

 

 

Given these circumstances, the Company recognized a full impairment reserve against the receivable as of November 30, 2023, along with all accrued interest to date. This decision reflects a commitment to accurate financial reporting and a conservative approach to asset valuation, ensuring that the financial statements present a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position. In September 2024, the full note became due and Innovative Outcomes has defaulted on the note based on non-payment.

 

As the loan incurs interest and has fixed repayment terms, the Company views this as an investment activity rather than a regular operational endeavor. Nonetheless, Innovative Outcomes remains liable for repayment, and interest will continue to accrue until maturity. Should payments be received, the provision will be reversed in alignment with the corresponding cash flow.

Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited:

 

Loans payable include an unsecured loan of $1,040,813 from Minoan Medical, the prior parent entity of DISA Medinotec in South Africa. This loan was initially obtained to support the working capital and capital expenditure expansions of DISA Medinotec during its developmental and startup phases. Following the acquisition of DISA Medinotec on March 2, 2022, the Company assumed this liability.

 

The Company is obligated to repay the loan within three years following its initial public offering (IPO), which is defined in the loan agreement as the point at which the business growth is sufficient to list on a national exchange. National exchanges in the United States include the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, and NYSE American. During this three-year period, the loan will accrue interest at the prevailing prime lending rate. As of November 30, 2024, the prevailing lending rate in South Africa was 11.25%. The terms of this loan are considered to be market-related. The Minoan Medical loan decreased by $130,441 during the quarter ending November 30, 2024.

 

The interest charged for the quarter was $31,487 and a 1% movement in the interest rates constitutes a value of $2,602. In light of the absence of current major merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, management has decided to prioritize the repayment of loan accounts using spare cash flows generated by the business. This strategic decision aims to strengthen the Company’s financial position and enhance financial stability. By reducing outstanding debt, the Company seeks to improve its leverage and overall financial position, positioning itself for future growth opportunities.

 

The Company has the option to make early settlement in cash or any form of equivalent.

 

Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited’s (“Minoan”) ultimate beneficial owner is the CEO of the Medinotec Group of Companies, Dr. Gregory Vizirgianakis. Minoan used to hold his medical investments and exports of which DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited was one of these investments before it was transferred into the Medinotec Group of Companies. Pieter van Niekerk, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, also serves as a director of Minoan.

 

 

Minoan Capital Proprietary Limited:

 

This is an unsecured, interest-free loan with no fixed terms of repayment.

 

Minoan Medical and Minoan Capital are related parties of the Group as the CEO Dr Gregory Vizirgianakis has common control.

11. Income taxes

11.  Income taxes

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, and 2023, our provision for income taxes was an expense of $171,163 and $63,022, respectively, and $418,383 for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to $62,483 for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

The effective tax rate for these periods was 36% and 15% for the 3 months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, and 38% for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to 14% for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

The effective tax rate is impacted by several factors, including:

 

  1. National, Federal and State Tax Rates: The statutory federal income tax rate is 21% for the United States and 27% for South Africa, compared to the effective tax rates disclosed above.  
  2. Permanent Differences: Certain items that are recognized in financial statements but are not taxable or deductible in the current period, such as relevant permanent differences specifically not allowed or which is capital in nature relating to the specific segments tax laws, impact our effective tax rate.  
  3. Temporary Differences: Timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses for tax purposes versus financial reporting purposes also contribute to the effective tax rate. Examples include depreciation methods, deferred tax assets/liabilities.  
  4. Tax Credits: Tax credits which may reduce our overall tax liability for the period.  
  5. Changes in Tax Legislation: Any recent changes in tax laws that may have affected our calculations, including will be taken into account.  
  6. Valuation Allowances: We evaluated the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets based on our assessment of future taxable income.  

 

This effective tax rate may differ from the statutory rate due to the aforementioned factors. We will continue to monitor our effective tax rate and make necessary adjustments as required by changes in our operations or tax legislation.

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2024, differed from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to permanent differences, which include GILTI (Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income) and foreign rate differentials. For the three months ended November 30, 2023, the effective tax rate also differed from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to foreign rate differentials.

 

As a U.S.-registered company with interests in South African entities, we are also considering our obligations under the OECD's Pillar II framework, which seeks to ensure that multinational enterprises pay a minimum level of tax. This framework informs our tax strategy and the management of our global tax liabilities. The tax rate in the territory of South Africa is 27% at the moment which is more than the 21% threshold in the U.S.

b.        Loan  

 

As of November 30, 2024 the Company has an unsecured loan payable of $1,040,813 from Minoan Medical, the prior parent entity of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited, which is incorporated in South Africa.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
a. Nature of business/basis of preparation

a.  Nature of business/basis of preparation

 

Basis of presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

 

Emerging Growth Company (ECG) status

 

The Company is an "emerging growth company" (EGC) as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). As an EGC, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and regulatory requirements applicable to other public companies. Emerging growth companies are permitted:

 

  to include less extensive narrative disclosure than required of other reporting companies, particularly in the description of executive compensation;

 

  to provide audited financial statements for two fiscal years, in contrast to other reporting companies, which must provide audited financial statements for three fiscal years;

 

  not to provide an auditor attestation of internal control over financial reporting under Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404(b);

 

  to defer complying with certain changes in accounting standards; and

 

  to use test-the-waters communications with qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors.

 

 

A company continues to be an emerging growth company for the first five fiscal years after it completes an IPO, unless one of the following occurs:

 

  its total annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more;

 

  it has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the past three years; or

 

  it becomes a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2.

 

The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act. As a result, its financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates. The Company intends to adopt the relevant standards upon losing its EGC status, unless it elects to forgo this election irrevocably.

 

In light of these factors, the Company recognizes that it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and regulatory requirements that are applicable to other public companies. This status provides the Company with flexibility as it seeks to grow its business and establish a stronger market presence.

 

b. Foreign currency translation

b.  Foreign currency translation

 

i.      Translation of foreign subsidiary  

 

The accounts of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates and income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in the exchange rates are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity.

 

ii.      Exposed to currency variations in subsidiary

 

The primary operations and functional currency of both Disa Medinotec (Pty) Ltd and Medinotec Capital (Pty) Ltd is in South African Rand. Due to the emerging market nature of this currency the spread volatility of the currency low and high can be material during a year. The conversion of the currency from Rand to reporting currency US Dollar can cause significant up or downward trends that are recorded in reserves under the heading accumulated comprehensive income.

 

The functional currency as well as the reporting currency for Medinotec Inc is the US Dollar.

 

c. Cash and cash equivalents

c.  Cash and cash equivalents

 

i.       Highly liquid investments

 

The Medinotec Group of Companies considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These cash equivalents consist primarily of term deposits and certificates of deposit. Investments with maturities from greater than three months to one year are classified as short-term investments, while those with maturities in excess of one year are classified as long-term investments. Cash equivalents and short-term investments are stated at cost which approximates market value.

 

 

d. Accounts Receivables

d.  Accounts Receivables

 

i.       Allowance based on a review and management evaluation

 

Accounts receivables are presented on the consolidated balance sheets, net of estimated uncollectible amounts. The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable represent the maximum credit risk exposure of these assets.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326"), the Company evaluates the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable balances to determine an allowance for credit losses that reflects its best estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses.

 

An allowance for credit losses is calculated taking into account all accounts older than 91+ days (prior year: 121+ days).

Laboratory equipment     5 years
Furniture and fixtures     6 years
Motor vehicles     5 years
Computer equipment     3 years
Office equipment     6 years
Computer software     2 years
Leasehold improvements     3 years
Small assets     1 year

 

The Company utilizes the straight-line method of depreciation for its assets, which allows for the systematic allocation of the cost of the asset over its useful life. The primary categories of assets include plant and machinery and laboratory equipment, which are depreciated based on their estimated useful lives, typically determined by industry standards and historical experience.

 

To establish the depreciation rate for each asset, the Company considers several factors, including the asset's purchase price, estimated useful life, and residual value at the end of that life. Useful lives are assessed based on the nature of the asset, technological advancements, and the expected rate of wear and tear. For other supportive assets, such as computer equipment, furniture and fittings, motor vehicles, office equipment, off-the-shelf software, leasehold improvements, and smaller assets, the straight-line method is also applied. Each asset's depreciation rate is reviewed periodically and adjusted if necessary to reflect changes in usage patterns or asset conditions. This method ensures that the expense recognition of these assets is consistent with their utilization and accurately reflects the Company’s financial position.

 

f. Inventories

f.  Inventories

 

i.       Valuation, costing and obsolescence

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average) or net realizable value and consist of raw materials, work-in process and finished goods and include purchased materials, machine time, direct labor and manufacturing overhead.

 

Management evaluates the need to record adjustments to write down inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value on a quarterly basis. The Company’s policy is to assess the valuation of all inventories, including raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and it writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence based upon the age of inventory and assumptions about future demand and usage.

 

 

g. Impairment of long-lived assets

g.  Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Long-lived assets (asset group), such as property and equipment subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

 

The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value.

 

Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

 

h. Leases

h.  Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We determine the classification of the lease, whether operating or financing, at the lease commencement date, which is the date the leased assets are made available for use. We use the non-cancelable lease term when recognizing the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, unless it is reasonably certain that a renewal or termination option will be exercised. We account for lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component. Modifications are assessed to determine whether incremental differences result in new contract terms and accounted for as a new lease or whether the additional right of use should be included in the original lease and continue to be accounted for with the remaining ROU asset.

 

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments consist of the fixed payments under the arrangement, less any lease incentives. Variable costs, such as common area maintenance costs and additional payments for percentage rent, are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities but are expensed as incurred. As the implicit rate of the leases is not determinable, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments in determining the present value of the lease payments. Lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not recognize ROU assets on lease arrangements with a term of 12 months or less.

 

i. Allowance for loan impairment

i.   Allowance for loan impairment

 

The Company records allowances for loan impairment when it is determined that the Company will be unable to collect amounts due to the Company according to the terms of the underlying agreement.

 

j. Employee benefit plans

j.  Employee benefit plans

 

The Company contributes 2.5% of basic salaries for eligible employees to a pension plan registered under the laws of South Africa. The Company also contributes a portion of the medical aid contribution for eligible employees to an approved medical insurance scheme.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.

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.

 

 

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

 

The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expenses.

 

l. Financial instruments

l.  Financial instruments

 

i.           Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value accounting is applied to all assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The consolidated entities follow the established framework for measuring fair value and reports disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

ii.         Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and loans. The Company invests its excess cash in low-risk, highly liquid money market funds and certificates of deposit with a major financial institution.

 

iii.         Exposed to currency variations in subsidiary

 

The primary operations and functional currency of a subsidiary's business is in South African Rand. Due to the emerging market nature of this currency the spread volatility of the currency low and high can be material during a year. The conversion of the currency from Rand to reporting currency US Dollar can cause significant up or downward trends that is recorded in reserves under the heading accumulated comprehensive income. The effect on the reserves for the quarter ended November 30, 2024 was ($14,204) compared to $460 for the quarter ended November 30, 2023, and ($23,603) for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to $22,439 for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

iv.          Interest rate Risk

 

Market interest rate risk may result in loss from fluctuations in the future cash flows or fair values of financial instruments. Interest rate risk is managed principally through monitoring interest rate gaps and basis risk and by having pre-approved limits for repricing bands.

 

The interest rate risk relates predominantly to the related party loan.

 

m. Comprehensive income/loss

m.  Comprehensive income/loss

 

i.            Comprehensive income/loss

 

Comprehensive income/loss consists of net income/loss and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from net income/loss. Our other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustment attributable to our operations. Refer to Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

 

Total foreign currency transaction gains and losses for the quarter ended November 30, 2024 was a $14,204 loss compared to a $460 gain for the quarter ended November 30, 2023, and a $23,603 loss for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to a $22,439 gain for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

 

 

n. Revenue recognition

n.  Revenue recognition

 

The Company generates revenues through two distinct revenue sources

 

  i. From the sale of high-quality medical devices which are self-manufactured through in-depth research and development; and

 

  ii. Through the distribution of finished products on behalf of other principals around the world into pre-agreed territories, which are usually exclusive territories granted by such principal.

 

The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its arrangements:

 

  i. identify the contract with a customer,
     
  ii. identify the performance obligations in the contract,
     
  iii. determine the transaction price,
     
  iv. allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and
     
  v. recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue from the sale of self-manufactured products

 

These products are developed in-house.

 

The Company’s clients are billed based on a pricelist that is agreed on in each customer’s contract. Orders are shipped on a per order basis from the Company’s warehouse with Free-On-Board terms.

 

Revenues relating to the self-manufactured products are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.

 

Revenue from the distribution of products

 

The distribution products are sold via a network, which consists of a mixture of sub-distributors and, in some instances, a direct sales force. The Company’s clients are billed based on a pricelist that are agreed upon in each customer contract, orders are shipped on a per order basis from the Company’s warehouse with Free-on-Board terms. The Company’s sub-distributors order from the Company on the same basis as its customers and have no preferential return rights on their inventory orders, therefore the client assumes the risk of the sale at point of invoice.

 

Revenues are recognized primarily when we transfer control to the customer, which can be on the date of shipment, the date of receipt by the customer or, for implants, when we have received a purchase order and appropriate notification the product has been used or implanted.

 

Goods delivered to a consignee pursuant to a consignment arrangement are not considered sales, and do not qualify for revenue recognition. Once it is determined that substantial risk of loss, rewards of ownership, as well as control of the asset have transferred to the consignee, revenue recognition would then be appropriate, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been satisfied.

 

 

For both revenue streams

 

The Company has two operating segments, inside the United States and outside the United States. These sales are split by these territories and further segregated into the specific revenue streams sold into these territories. Sales represent the amount of consideration we expect to receive from customers in exchange for transferring products and services. Net sales exclude sales and value added taxes we collect from customers. Other costs to obtain and fulfill contracts are generally expensed as incurred due to the short-term nature of most of our sales. We extend terms of payment to our customers based on commercially reasonable terms for the markets of our customers, while also considering their credit quality.

 

A provision for estimated sales returns, discounts and rebates is recognized as a reduction of sales in the same period that the sales are recognized. Our estimate of the provision for sales returns has been established based on contract terms with our customers and historical business practices and current trends. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in net sales.

 

The Company has no contract assets or liabilities representing accrued revenues that have not yet been billed to the customers due to certain contractual terms, because orders are placed, invoiced, and shipped on a per order basis as and when the clients require additional inventory. All revenue is recognized at a specific point and time.

 

Under ASC Topic 606, the Company estimates the transaction price, including variable consideration, at the commencement of the contract and recognizes revenue at point of sale when risks and rewards are transferred to the customer. There are no contract revenue agreements that would need to be recognized over time and the point of risks and rewards being transferred is very clear.

 

Payment Terms

 

Our payment terms vary per segments; export sales made from within South Africa are subject to prepayment, where accounts are granted. They generally have payment terms of 30 days from statement and sales made inside the United States are 45 to 60 days. Terms can be extended by the Company when it deems the business case and creditworthiness of the customer is strong enough. The time between a customer’s payment and the receipt of funds is not significant. The Company’s contracts with customers do not result in significant obligations associated with returns, refunds, or warranties. Payment terms are generally fixed and do not include variable revenues.

 

The Company sells a significant amount to DISA Life Sciences, a non-related medical device distributor in South Africa. For the quarter ending November 30, 2024, 94% of the Company's total revenue was derived from this single customer in the distribution environment in South Africa compared to 79% for the quarter ending November 30, 2023, and 92% for the nine months ending November 30, 2024 compared to 66% for the nine months ending November 30, 2023.

The major component of total assets is "Cash" of $2,676,525 as of November 30, 2024 and $2,808,910 as of February 29, 2024. A significant portion of this is maintained Inside the United States in USD of $2,068,417 as of November 30, 2024 and $2,478,434 as of February 29, 2024.

 

o. Cost of goods sold

o.  Cost of goods sold

 

The cost of goods sold consists primarily of raw material purchases, manufacturing costs and employee benefits paid to operational personnel associated with the production of our medical devices.

 

p. General and administrative expenses

p.  General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist mostly of personnel costs, consulting fees as well as audit fees.

 

q. Research and development

q.  Research and development

 

The Company follows the guidance provided in ASC 730, "Research and Development," in accounting for research and development (R&D) expenses. R&D activities primarily focus on the development of new products through modifications of existing technologies or projects with an established proof of concept. As such, the Company typically incurs R&D expenses related to production support, process improvements, and quality enhancement initiatives.

 

In accordance with ASC 730, the Company expenses all R&D costs as incurred. This includes costs directly related to research activities, as well as expenses associated with the design, development, and testing of new products and processes.

 

In instances where R&D projects evolve and the nature of the expenses becomes capital in nature, the Company will evaluate these costs against the following criteria to determine if they should be capitalized:

 

  •  Technological Feasibility: The project must have reached a stage where technological feasibility has been established. This typically occurs when all necessary design, testing, and evaluation processes have been completed, and the product can be produced to meet its specifications.  
       
   •  Intent to Complete: There must be a clear intention to complete the project for sale or use. This involves assessing whether the Company plans to bring the product to market and if there is a viable market for it.  
       
   •  Future Economic Benefits: The project is expected to generate future economic benefits, such as revenue from product sales or cost savings from process improvements.  
       
   •  Directly Attributable Costs: The costs being evaluated for capitalization must be directly attributable to the development of the product or process, including materials, labor, and overhead.  

 

Any costs deemed eligible for capitalization will be recorded as assets and amortized over their useful lives, while all other R&D expenditures will continue to be expensed in the period incurred.

 

 

r. Interest expense

r.  Interest expense

 

Interest expense relates mostly to an unsecured loan from Minoan Medical, which is repayable over the next 2 years. The loan carries interest at the prevailing prime lending rate of the time. The prevailing lending rate in South Africa was 11.25% at November 30, 2024. The terms of this loan are deemed to be market related.

 

s. Earnings per share

s.  Earnings per share

 

Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. This calculation provides a straightforward measure of the Company’s earnings attributable to each share.

 

Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Diluted earnings per share are computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, including options, warrants, and convertible securities. The calculation aims to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if these securities were converted into common shares.

 

In periods where the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share. This is because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

Treasury Stock Method

 

For options and warrants, the Company employs the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect. Under this method, it is assumed that the proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The number of shares repurchased is then subtracted from the total number of shares that would be issued upon exercise, resulting in the net increase in shares outstanding. This method effectively illustrates the potential dilution impact of these securities on earnings per share.

 

t. Principles of consolidation

t.  Principles of consolidation

 

i.            Consolidated - all intercompany transactions eliminated

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medinotec Inc., Medinotec Capital Proprietary Limited and the financial statements of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited, known as the Medinotec Group of Companies. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

u. Use of estimates

u.  Use of estimates

 

i.           Actual results could differ

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Additionally, these estimates influence the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates, which could have an impact on future periods.

 

 

Key estimates that management typically needs to make in a smaller medical device public company include:

 

  Revenue Recognition: Estimating the timing and amount of revenue to be recognized, particularly in relation to sales agreements, warranties, and return policies.  
       
  Inventory Valuation: Assessing the net realizable value of inventory, including potential obsolescence and excess stock, to ensure that inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.  
       
  Impairment of Assets: Determining whether there are indicators of impairment for long-lived assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, which involves assessing the recoverability of the asset's carrying value.  
       
  Clinical Trial Costs: Estimating the costs associated with clinical trials and research and development activities, which can be significant for product development.  
       
  Contingent Liabilities: Evaluating potential legal and regulatory claims, including product liabilities, and estimating the likelihood and potential financial impact of such claims.  
       
  Useful Lives of Assets: Estimating the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, as well as intangible assets, to determine appropriate depreciation and amortization expense.  
       

Management continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and various other factors, including current market conditions. Changes in these estimates may have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

v. Recently issued accounting standards

v.  Recently issued accounting standards

 

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”), which addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. The amendments require certain joint ventures to apply a new basis of accounting upon formation by recognizing and initially measuring most of their assets and liabilities at fair value. The objectives of the amendments are to provide decision-useful information to investors and other allocators of capital in a joint venture’s financial statements and also to reduce diversity in practice. ASU 2023-05 is effective for both public and private joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may elect to apply the guidance retrospectively to joint ventures with a formation date prior to January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of a unit of account of the equity security, and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments also require the following disclosures for equity securities subject to the contractual sale restrictions.

 

1. The fair value of equity securities subject to the contractual sale restrictions is reflected on the balance sheet.

 

2. The nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s).

 

3. The circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s).

 

 

This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those financial years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which enhances transparency surrounding the use of supplier finance programs. The new guidance requires qualitative and quantitative disclosure sufficient to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude of such programs. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which amends the disclosure to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis for to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. All public entities will be required to report segment information in accordance with the new guidance starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of ASU 2023-06 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, " Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which amends the disclosure to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information and includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. For entities other than public business entities, the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing potential impacts of ASU 2023-09 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures and the Company is in a loss position and not incurring any tax expenses.
