Medinotec Incorporated Group

Notes to the Consolidated Entities Financial Statements

For the period ended November 30, 2022 

1.     Description of Business 

Medinotec, Inc (the “Company” or “COMPANY”), was incorporated in Nevada on 26th April 2021.

On the same date a common control event occurred and the Group acquired, through a subsidiary, Disa Medinotec Proprietary Limited. DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited was incorporated in the Republic of South Africa in 2015. It was formerly known as DISA Vascular 2015 Proprietary Limited and changed its name to DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited effective 19 October 2020. The Company produces high-quality medical devices through in-depth research and development. The products developed are sold via a network of distributors in many parts of the world and through a direct sales force in South Africa and the United States of America.

The Company is located and headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from operations in South Africa and Europe while growing its product offering to penetrate the United States of America in the near future.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

2.     Significant Accounting Policies
a. Nature of business/basis of preparation
GAAP of country and IAS  

  

The Consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and conform in all material respects with International Accounting Standards with regards to the presentation of historical cost financial information.

 

The event that caused the common control transaction, as described in the business combination note, occurred after the prior 2021 year had been reported on. As such, the period ended November 30, 2022 is a stub year, comprised of nine months.

b. Foreign currency translation
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.

 7 

 

c. Cash and cash equivalents

            Highly liquid investments  

The Consolidated entities consider 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. Receivables
Allowance based on a review and management evaluation  

The Consolidated entities provide an allowance for losses on trade receivables based on a review of the current status of existing receivables and management's evaluation of periodic ageing of accounts.

Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. The majority of customers are not extended credit and therefore time to maturity for receivables is short. On a periodic basis, management evaluates its accounts receivable and determines whether to provide an allowance or if any accounts should be written off based on a history of write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. A receivable is considered past due if the Consolidated entities have not received payments based on agreed-upon terms. The Consolidated entities generally do not require any security or collateral to support their receivables.

No allowance for doubtful debt was recognized as of November 30, 2022.

e. Property, plant and equipment
Depreciation rates   

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows for the major classes of assets:

   
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

f. Inventories
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, 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 an annual basis. The Consolidated entities’ 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.

 

 8 

 

g.       Impairment of long-lived assets

The Consolidated entities assess 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. As of November 30, 2022, no impairment charge has been recorded.

h.       Employee benefit plans

The Consolidated entities contribute 2.5% for eligible employees to a pension plan registered under the laws of South Africa. The Consolidated entities also contribute a third of the medical aid contribution for eligible employees to an approved medical insurance scheme.

i.       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 carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Consolidated entities recognize 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 Consolidated entities record interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expenses. 

j. Financial instruments
Fair Value Measurements  

Fair value accounting is applied for 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 expands disclosures about fair value measurements (see Note 3).

ii. Concentrations of Credit Risk  

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

 9 

 

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, 2022 was $45,380.

iv. Interest rate Risk  

Related party loan interest. 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.

v. Numerous risks due to international activities  

The Consolidated entities are subject to numerous risks as a result of their international activities. The Consolidated entities are dependent, in large part, on the economies of the markets in which they have operations. Those markets and other markets in which the Consolidated entities may operate are in countries with economies in various stages of development, some of which are subject to rapid fluctuations in currency exchange rates, consumer prices, inflation, employment levels and gross domestic product. As a result, the Consolidated entities are exposed to market risk from these changes, and are subject to other economic and political risks, which could impact their results of operations and financial condition.

k.       Comprehensive Income 

 

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources and is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (OCI). OCI includes currency translation adjustments on the Consolidated entities net investment in self-sustaining foreign operations and related hedging gains and losses, translation adjustments related to the translation from the Consolidated entities functional currency to its presentation currency, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, hedging gains and losses on cash flow hedges and unrealized net actuarial gain or loss from pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

l.       Revenue recognition

The Consolidated entities generate their revenues from the sale of high-quality medical devices which are self-manufactured through in-depth research and development. The products developed are sold via a network of distributors in many parts of the world and through a direct sales force in South Africa.

All sales are made with Free on Board INCO terms therefore the risk transfers to the purchaser as soon as it leaves the warehouse of DISA Medinotec,

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Consolidated entities expect to receive in exchange for those products.

The Consolidated entities apply 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:

• identify the contract with a customer,

• identify the performance obligations in the contract,

• determine the transaction price,

• allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and

• recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

 10 

 

Under ASC Topic 606, the Consolidated entities estimate the transaction price, including variable consideration, at the commencement of the contract and recognizes revenue over the contract term, rather than when fees become fixed or determinable.

Payment Terms

Our payment terms generally are 30 days from statement. The time between a customer’s payment and the receipt of funds is not significant. Our contracts with customers do not result in significant obligations associated with returns, refunds or warranties. Our payment terms are generally fixed and do not include variable revenues.

Accordance with industry practice  

Sales revenue is recognized in accordance with industry practice which is when all the risks and benefits of ownership of products have been transferred to customers under executed sales agreements.

m.       Cost of goods sold

Cost of revenue consists primarily of raw material purchases, manufacturing costs, including machine time and employee benefits paid to operational personnel associated with the production of our medical devices.

n.       Principles of Consolidation

Consolidated - all intercompany transactions eliminated  

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

q.       Use of estimates

Actual results could differ  

The preparation of Consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and may have an impact on future periods.

p.       Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and has since issued amendments thereto, related to the accounting for leases (collectively referred to as “ASC 842”). ASC 842 establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the Consolidated balance sheet for all long-term leases. Leases will be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition and classification in the Consolidated statement of operations. The Consolidated entities adopted ASC 842 on April 26, 2021. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the Consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.

q.       Recently issued accounting standards

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses   

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments--Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. With respect to available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities, the standard amends the current other-than-temporary impairment model. For such securities with unrealized losses, entities will still consider if a portion of any impairment is related only to credit losses and therefore recognized as a reduction in income. However, rather than also reflecting that credit loss amount as a permanent reduction in cost (amortized cost) basis of that AFS debt security, the standard requires that credit losses be reflected as an allowance. As a result, under certain circumstances, a recovery in value could result in previous allowances, or portions thereof, reversing back into income. This standard expands the disclosure requirements regarding credit losses, including the credit loss methodology and credit quality indicators. For the Consolidated entities, this standard is effective December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Consolidated entities is currently assessing this standard’s impact on the Consolidated entities (Consolidated) result of operations and financial condition.

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 Consolidated entities have 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.

At November 30, 2022, all of the Consolidated entities 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.

The Consolidated entities have 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 Consolidated entities 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.

From time to time, the Consolidated entities are subject to various claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that any liability of the Consolidated entities that may arise out of or with respect to these matters will not materially adversely affect the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Consolidated entities.

At reporting date there is no known material litigation or claims against the Consolidated entities.

Deferred tax assets refer to assets that are attributable to differences between the Consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets in essence represent future savings of taxes that would otherwise be paid in cash. The realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income, including capital gains. If it is determined that the deferred tax assets cannot be realized, a valuation allowance must be established, with a corresponding charge to net income.

Rent is comparable to rent charged for similar properties in the same relative area. The Consolidated entities do market research of a Minimum and a Maximum rental value within the area at every renewal of the rental agreement to ensure this is market related, this exercise is undertaken together with a registered property agent who has the appropriate knowledge of the area. ASC 850-10-50-6.

b. Loan  

This is an unsecured loan from the prior parent entity of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited incorporated in South Africa called Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited. This loan originated to fund working capital and capex expansions of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited Incorporated during the developmental and startup phase. After the acquisition of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited into the Medinotec Group of companies, the Medinotec Group of Companies assumed this liability. During the Covid challenges, interest on the loan was waived due to the loan being classified as an equity investment at that stage, before the post balance sheet transfer of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited Incorporated to the Medinotec Group of Companies. The Medinotec Group of Companies have a period of 3 years post any IPO date/ date at which the company starts trading on a recognizable exchange to repay the loan. During these 3 years the loan will carry interest at the prevailing prime lending rate of the time.

The prevailing prime lending rate on the quarter ending November 30, 2022 in South Africa is 10.5%. The interest charged for the quarter was $51,545 and a 1% movement in the interest rates constitutes a value of $19,636 on an annual basis and $4,909 per quarter. The interest rate chargeable is a guideline determined by the South African Reserve Bank and gets utilized by financial institutions to determine the financial gain they may derive from a loan. The Prime rate is therefore an arm’s length transaction and justifiable rate that can be applied to a loan within the borders of the Republic of South Africa and therefore complies with the arm’s length definitions in ASC 850-10-50-6.

The Consolidated entities, particularly Medinotec Inc. have the option to settle earlier and settlement can be in cash or shares.

Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited’s ultimate beneficial owner is the CEO of the Medinotec Group of Companies Dr. Gregory Vizirgianakis and is used to hold his medical investments and exports of which DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited Incorporated was one of these investments before it got transferred into the Medinotec Group of Companies. Pieter van Niekerk also serves as a director on Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited.

c. Sales to commonly controlled entities  

The Consolidated entities sell the majority of their stock  to DISA Vascular Distribution t/a DISA Life Sciences.

DISA Life Sciences is the main distributor of the products of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited in South Africa. This relationship is governed by a distribution agreement which DISA Lifesciences needs to adhere to, the company is owned by an independent third party but according to the distribution agreement DISA Life sciences needs to allow a Director of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited Incorporated registered in South Africa to become a board member in an Non – Executive role to oversee that good corporate governance is maintained by the company and that the good name of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited Incorporated does not come into despair. Currently, the Board position is held by Mr. Pieter van Niekerk, who is also the CFO of the Medinotec Group of Companies. Mr. van Niekerk has no operational involvement and also no financial interest or benefit paid to him for assuming the role of independent non-executive of the company.

Apart from this non-executive directorship position there is no other related party ties to DISA Life Sciences. On October 14, 2022, Mr. Pieter van Niekerk resigned as a director of DISA Lifesciences to focus on other commitments, on this same date the DISA Lifesciences ceased to be a related party to DISA Medinotec. 

DISA Life Sciences is one of the top 5 biggest distributor of medical devices in the Republic of South Africa and therefore DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited registered in South Africa utilizes their sales footprint for cost efficiencies. All trading is considered to be at arm's length.

Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited’s ultimate beneficial owner is the CEO of the Medinotec Group of Companies Dr. Gregory Vizirgianakis and is used to hold his medical investments and exports of which DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited Incorporated was one of these investments before it got transferred into the Medinotec Group of Companies. All sales made to Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited were utilized to build the export market for DISA Medinotec South Africa. In the future these sales will be made directly to the export countries without utilizing Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited as an intermediate. These sales were made on the same terms as the DISA Life Sciences distribution agreement. Pieter van Niekerk also serves as a director on Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited.

The distribution agreement between DISA Lifesciences and DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited Incorporated was entered into after a market feasibility study was conducted. Medical devices are registered with a fixed maximum sales price, which is regulated within South Africa. It was determined that the profit split allowed between the two companies would be based on this approved market price, where DISA Lifesciences would be allowed only to have 10% of the total sales value and DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited Incorporated the remaining balance.

 

This profit split was determined by a benchmark study that was completed by an external firm who compared the profit margins of a distribution/wholesale business. The allowed profit margin was concluded as being within the appropriate benchmark and therefore arm’s length. The data base used to determine the market related margin is the Worldwide Private Company Data Base from Thomson Reuters. Therefore, this agreement is deemed to be market related and at arm’s length and compliant with. ASC 850-10-50-6 and ASC 850-10-50-5.

Sales between the entities are settled on a regular basis and there is no long outstanding Accounts receivable.

12.   Business Acquisitions

Acquisition of Disa Medinotec Proprietary Limited  

On March 2, 2022, the Medinotec Inc. and Medinotec Capital Proprietary Limited acquired 100 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited. The consideration payable was $11 for the outstanding equity and the Group assumed the responsibility of the loan account ($1,583,661) payable to Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited. Due to the control of businesses being in principal 95% the same between the Group and the previous ultimate beneficial owner of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited the transaction would therefore be deemed a common control transaction. Due to common control being established on April 26, 2021 (the incorporation date of the registrant) the effective date is deemed to be at this date.

The Group acquired the assets and liabilities noted below: (Audited)

   
Cash 80,975
Accounts and other receivables 41,742
Inventory 424,810
Property, plant and equipment 507,956

To properly account for the transfer of the membership interests of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited, the Company reviewed the ownership structure of all of the entities involved in the contribution transaction, as contemplated in the Registration Statement, and concluded that in accordance with ASC 805-50-25-2, the contribution of such membership interests will qualify as a transfer of ownership between entities under common control. 

 

“When accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests shall initially measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer. If the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities transferred differ from the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control, for example, because pushdown accounting had not been applied, then the financial statements of the receiving entity shall reflect the transferred assets and liabilities at the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control.”

 

ASC 805-50-15-6 states that the guidance in the Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control Subsections applies to combinations between entities or businesses under common control in which an entity charters a newly formed entity and then transfers some or all of its net assets to that newly chartered entity.  If the guidance in the subsection applies, then in accordance with ASC 805-50-30-5, the Company will initially measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts (historical cost) in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer.

 

 19 

 

 

The Company believes the financial information of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited is properly presented based on the carryover basis of accounting because the transfer of the ownership qualifies as a reorganization of entities under common control.

 

In ASC 805, “control” has the same meaning as “controlling financial interest” in ASC 810-10-15-8. A “controlling financial interest” is generally defined as ownership of a majority voting interest by one entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity. U.S. GAAP does not define the term “common control.”

 

The accounting treatment for the contribution of the membership interests of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited into the structure of Medinotec Inc Nevada was based upon the following facts:

 

At the date of incorporation of Medinotec Inc in Nevada April 26, 2021, Gregory Vizirgianakis (CEO) was the 100% ultimate beneficial owner of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited and owned 95% of Medinotec Inc in Nevada.

 

Based upon the facts as outlined above, the Company applied the guidance outlined in ASC 805-50 which deals with transactions between entities under common control.

 

Transactions between entities under common control are accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling of-interest method. Thus, the financial statements of the commonly controlled entities would be combined, retrospectively, as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the period. However, ASC 805-50-45-5 states that prior years’ comparative information is only adjusted for periods during which the entities were under common control. In addition, ASC 805-50-45-2 requires that the “effects of intra-entity transactions on current assets, current liabilities, revenue, and cost of sales for periods presented and on retained earnings at the beginning of the periods presented shall be eliminated to the extent possible.”

 

DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited was deemed to be under common control prior to March 2, 2022 share transfer date and therefore the acquisition was retrospectively applied from April 26, 2021, the formation date of registrant.

 

The proforma information as disclosed in this note have been prepared to present this.
