VIRAX BIOLABS GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
Note 1 General information and reorganization transactions
Virax Biolabs Group Limited (the Company ) is a holding company incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of its own, it conducts the majority of its operations through its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, the United States, and China and has been operating since 2013.
The Company is a global innovative biotechnology company focused on the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and risk management of viral diseases with a current focus on the field of T cell in Vitro Diagnostics. The Company is in the process of developing and manufacturing tests that can predict adaptive immunity to viral diseases as well as identify individuals suffering from T cell exhaustion and chronic inflammation linked to post viral syndromes. The Company's mission is to protect people from viral diseases and help with the early diagnosis of post viral syndromes associated with T cell exhaustion and chronic inflammation through the provision of diagnostic tests and tests for adaptive immunity.
The Company is in the process of developing ViraxImmune, with the intention of providing an immunology profiling platform that assesses each individual's immune risk profile against major global viral diseases as well as helping with the early diagnosis of post viral syndromes associated with T cell exhaustion and chronic inflammation. We are in the process of developing a T cell Test under the ViraxImmune brand and will apply for regulatory agency approval in the future. We believe that the T cell Tests and immunology platform we are developing under the ViraxImmune brand will be particularly useful in assisting in the threat analysis of the major viruses faced globally as well as helping with the early diagnosis of indications associated with T cell exhaustion and chronic inflammation which have been linked to symptoms such as chronic fatigue. Initially, we will be focusing on diseases associated with post viral syndromes including but not limited to SARS-CoV-2, Human Papillomavirus (better known as HPV), Malaria, Hepatitis B, and Herpes (better known as HSV-1).
The Company also has the ability to distribute existing diagnostics test kits through our ViraxClear and ViraxVet brands. Currently, we do not manufacture or develop any product that we sell in our ViraxClear and ViraxVet product portfolios, and we act as a distributor of third-party suppliers' products. While ViraxClear and ViraxVet have the ability to sell and distribute existing test kits, they are not the main focus of the Company.
These financial statements are presented in US dollars.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Liquidity is the ability of a company to fund its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At September 30, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $7,285,991 and current liabilities of $693,969. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a net increase in cash of $3,696,747. This increase was primarily from a warrant exercise and cash received from sales of its ordinary shares. See Note 14.
Until such time that the Company implements its growth strategy, it expects to continue to generate operating losses in the foreseeable future, mostly due to research and development activities, corporate overhead and costs of being a public company. The Company believes that its existing working capital, current cash on hand, and expected future cash flows from operating activities will provide sufficient cash to enable the Company to meet its operating needs for the next twelve months from this reporting period.
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements to the extent they have not been disclosed in the other notes below. The policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
Compliance with IFRS
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards ( IAS ) 34, Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ( IFRIC ). These condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information required of a full set of annual financial statements and are intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period. It is therefore recommended that these condensed interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024 and notes thereto contained in the Company's annual report filed on Form 20-F.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, modified where applicable. In addition, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has reclassified certain general and administrative expenses to research and development expenses and certain cash flow activities from financing to operating activities.
The condensed unaudited interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on November 20, 2024.
Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The following is a list of the Company's operating subsidiaries as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
| Company names | Jurisdiction | Incorporation Date | Ownership | |||
| Virax Biolabs Group Limited | Cayman Island | September 2, 2021 | Holding Company | |||

| Virax Biolabs FZ-LLC | United Arab Emirates | April 18, 2023 | 100% (via Virax Biolabs Group Holdings Limited) | |||
| Virax Biolabs Trading B.V. | Netherlands | August 4, 2023 | 100% (via Virax Biolabs Group Holdings Limited) | |||
| Virax Biolabs UK Operating Limited | United Kingdom | November 7, 2023 | 100% (via Virax Biolabs Group Holdings Limited) |
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between the subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
The Company has one reportable segment incorporating ViraxClear, a diagnostic medical device distributor, ViraxVet, a veterinary medical device distributor, and ViraxImmune, a T-Cell In Vitro diagnostic device and wellness mobile application developer. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance and obtaining financial information, including the condensed consolidated statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive loss, condensed consolidated statements of financial position and condensed consolidated statements of cash flow, about the Company as a whole.
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency ). The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollar, which is the Company's presentation currency.
| Entity | Functional Currency | |
| Virax Biolabs Group Limited | U.S. dollars | |
| Virax Biolabs (UK) Limited | British Pound Sterling | |
| Virax Biolabs Limited | U.S. dollars | |
| Virax Immune T-Cell Medical Device Company Limited | U.S. dollars | |
| Virax Biolabs PTE. LTD | U.S. dollars | |
| Logico Bioproducts Corp. | U.S. dollars | |
| Shanghai Xitu Consulting Co., Ltd | Renminbi | |
| Virax Biolabs USA Management, Inc. | U.S. dollars | |
| Virax Biolabs Group Holdings Ltd | British Pound Sterling | |
| Virax Biolabs FZ-LLC | United Arab Emirates Dirhams | |
| Virax Biolabs Trading B.V. | Euro |
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentational currency are translated into the presentational currency as follows:
-assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position
-income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive loss are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions), and
-all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive loss and the foreign currency exchange differences in other comprehensive loss are temporary and will be reclassified in the future.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at period-end exchange rates are generally recognized in statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive loss.
The most important exchange rates per USD 1.00 that have been used in preparing the financial statements are:
| Closing rate | Average rate | |||||||||||||||
| For the Six Months Ended September 30, | For the Six Months Ended September 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |||||||||||||
| British Pound | 0.767 | 0.895 | 0.783 | 0.831 | ||||||||||||
| Euro | 0.901 | 0.945 | 0.922 | 0.920 | ||||||||||||
| Singapore Dollar | 1.307 | 1.431 | 1.342 | 1.392 | ||||||||||||
| Renminbi | 7.133 | 7.152 | 7.220 | 6.796 |
Revenues are generally recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products provided to the Company's customers, reflecting the amount of consideration we expect to receive for those products. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The revenue recognition policy is consistent for sales generated directly with customers and sales generated indirectly through solution partners and resellers.
Revenues are recognized upon the application of the following steps:
1.Identification of the contract or contracts with a customer;
2.Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
3.Determination of the transaction price;
4.Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5.Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billing our customers. The Company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. Contract assets are recognized
when performance is completed in advance of scheduled billings. Deferred revenue is recognized when billings are in advance of performance under the contract. The Company's revenue arrangements include standard warranty provisions that our products and services will perform and operate in all material respects with the applicable published specifications, the financial impacts of which have historically been, and are expected to continue to be insignificant. Our contracts do not include a significant financing component.
The Company's products are generally sold without a right of return, so there is no variable consideration when determining the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period if additional information becomes available.
Share-based payments
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based payment ( IFRS 2 ), which requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive loss, based on the acceleration method in twelve-month tranches.
The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its awards granted based on the vesting attribution approach over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. IFRS 2 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
The Company estimates the fair value of share options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected option term. Expected volatility was calculated based upon historical volatility of the Company's shares. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. treasury bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends.
The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants that are issued, as either liability or equity, by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. Under IFRS 9, warrants are considered liability-classified if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the issuer to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or must or may require settlement by issuing a variable number of shares.
If the warrants do not meet liability classification, the Company assesses the requirements that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the warrants do not require liability classification, in order to conclude equity classification, the Company assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity. After all relevant assessments are made, the Company concludes whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability-classified warrants are required to be accounted for at fair value both on the date of issuance and on subsequent accounting period ending dates, with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the statements of profit and loss. Equity-classified warrants are accounted for at fair value on the issuance date with no changes in fair value recognized after the issuance date. As of September 30, 2024, all of the Company's outstanding warrants are equity-classified warrants. See Note 14.
The income tax expense for the period is the tax on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction as adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary
differences and to unused tax losses. The income tax credit for the period is research and development tax credits submitted by the Company to the HM Revenues & Customs (HMRC) and received.
The current income tax expense or credit is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Although the Company is organized as a Cayman Islands corporation, we expect that in the future the Company is likely to be subject to income and other taxes in various other jurisdictions that we operate in. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to (or recovered from) the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive loss, in which case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive loss.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures that extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Management evaluates the useful lives and method of depreciation at least annually and accounts for any changes to the useful life or method prospectively. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; cost of major additions and betterments are capitalized. Capitalized software is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and the amortization is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software.
The estimated useful lives are:
| Laboratory equipment | 5 years |
| Computer equipment | 3 years |
| Capitalized software | 3 years |
Impairment of assets
Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use and is calculated with reference to future discounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate when considered as part of a cash-generating unit. Assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. If an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment charge been recognized for the asset in prior periods.
The Company accounts for leases under IFRS 16 'Leases'. IFRS 16 introduced a single lease accounting model, requiring a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. The lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability representing the obligation to pay lease payments.
At the inception of a contract, we assess whether a contract is, or contains a lease by determining whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, we assess whether:
-the contract involves the use of an identified asset;
-we have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use; and
-we have the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
A right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability are recognized on the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is reduced by impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurement of the lease liabilities, if any.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the implicit interest rate in the lease. If the rate cannot be readily determined, our incremental rate of borrowing is used. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in our estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if we change our assessment of whether we will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option, or if the underlying lease contract is amended.
We have elected not to separate fixed non-lease components from lease components and instead account for each lease component and associated fixed non-lease components as a single lease component.
We have elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. We recognize the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods comprises cost of purchase and, where appropriate, other directly attributable costs. It excludes borrowing costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
For the purposes of presentation in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, cash consists of cash on hand.
Accounts receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value. The Company holds trade receivables with the
