Notes to Condensed Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2023
(Unaudited)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Encision Inc. is a medical device company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets patented surgical instruments that provide greater safety to, and saves lives of, patients undergoing minimally-invasive surgery. We believe that our patented AEM® (Active Electrode Monitoring) surgical instrument technology is changing the marketplace for electrosurgical devices and instruments by providing a solution to a patient safety risk in laparoscopic surgery. Our sales to date have been made principally in the United States.
We have an accumulated deficit of $22,208,375 at December 31, 2023. A significant portion of our operating funds have been provided by issuances of our common stock and warrants, the exercise of stock options to purchase our common stock, loans, and (in some periods) by operating profits. Shareholders’ equity decreased by $301,805 since March 31, 2023 as a result of our net loss of $355,112 and stock-based compensation of $53,306. Should our liquidity be diminished in the future because of operating losses, we may be required to seek additional capital.
Our strategic marketing and sales plan is designed to expand the use of our products in surgically active hospitals and surgery centers in the United States.
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 filed on June 29, 2023.
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the standards of accounting measurements and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to summarize fairly the financial position and results of operations for such periods in accordance with GAAP. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the most recent interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
We had a net loss of $355,112 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2023, we had cash of $99,239, no current borrowings and borrowing capacity up to $1,000,000, as restricted by our eligible accounts receivable, under our line of credit. Working capital was $1,643,901, a decrease of $349,876 from March 31, 2023. We decreased $89,727 of cash in the fiscal nine months ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of our loss and was increased by an inventory decrease. Management is developing plans to ensure that we have the working capital necessary to fund operations. We will increase our pricing on products to mitigate our higher material costs. Management concludes that it is probable that our cash resources and line of credit will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for twelve months from the issuance of the unaudited condensed financial statements. Therefore, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three and nine months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Our financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables, payables and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) loan. The carrying values of cash and trade receivables approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.The fair values of the EIDL loan approximates the carrying value based on estimated discounted future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made.
Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and accounts receivable. From time to time, the amount of cash on deposit with financial institutions may exceed the $250,000 federally insured limit at December 31, 2023. We believe that our cash on deposit that exceeds $250,000 with financial institutions is financially sound and the risk of loss is minimal.
We have no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. We maintain the majority of our cash balances with one financial institution in the form of demand deposits.
Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from transactions with and from entities in the healthcare industry primarily located in the United States. Accordingly, we may be exposed to credit risk generally associated with the healthcare industry. The accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2023 of $923,112 and at March 31, 2023 of $920,721 included no more than 8% from any one customer.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. We reduce inventory for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. At December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 inventory consisted of the following:
| Schedule of inventory | ||
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2023 | March 31, 2023 | |
| Raw materials | $1,305,313 | $1,456,473 |
| Finished goods | 362,872 | 493,729 |
| Total gross inventories | 1,668,185 | 1,950,202 |
| Less reserve for obsolescence | (114,000) | (51,000) |
| Total net inventories | $1,554,185 | $1,899,202 |
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost, with depreciation computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five to seven years. Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $15,372 and $16,292 and $46,612 and $42,998, respectively. We use the straight-line method of depreciation for property and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and major additions, replacements and improvements are capitalized.
Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. A long-lived asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows related to the asset, undiscounted and without interest, are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the asset. If deemed impaired, the long-lived asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell.
Patents. The costs of applying for patents are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the patent’s economic or legal life (20 years from the date of application in the United States). Capitalized costs are expensed if patents are not issued. We review the carrying value of our patents periodically to determine whether the patents have continuing value and such reviews could result in the conclusion that the recorded amounts have been impaired.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. ASC 740 also requires recognition of deferred tax assets for the expected future tax effects of all deductible temporary differences, loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are then reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits, which, more likely than not based on current circumstances, are not expected to be realized. As a result, no provision for income tax is reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. Should we achieve sufficient, sustained income in the future, we may conclude that some or all of the valuation allowance should be reversed. We are required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding our income tax exposures. At December 31, 2023, we had no unrecognized tax benefits, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized and had no accrued interest, or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Revenue Recognition. We record revenue at a single point in time, when control is transferred to the customer. We will continue to apply our current business processes, policies, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure. Our shipping policy is FOB Shipping Point. We recognize revenue from sales to stocking distributors when there is no right of return, other than for normal warranty claims. We have no ongoing obligations related to product sales, except for normal warranty obligations. As presented on the Statement of Operations our revenue is disaggregated between product revenue and service revenue. As it relates specifically to product revenue, we do not believe further disaggregation is necessary as substantially all of our product revenue comes from multiple products within a line of medical devices. Our engineering service contracts are billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed.
Research and Development Expenses. We expense research and development costs for products and processes as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation is presented in accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under the provisions of ASC 718, we are required to estimate the fair value of share-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 expense over the requisite service periods in our statements of operations.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $27,158 and $14,173 and $53,306 and $39,379, respectively, which consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to grants of employee stock options.
Segment Reporting. We have concluded that we have two operating segments, product and service. Product designs, develops, manufactures and markets patented surgical instruments. Service performs electrical engineering activities for external entities.

Note 3. BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME AND LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
We report both basic and diluted net income (loss) per share. Basic net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period if the effect of the potential common shares is dilutive. The shares used in the calculation of dilutive potential common shares exclude options to purchase shares where the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares for the period.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:
| Schedule of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share | ||||

Note 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We have a noncancelable lease agreement for our facilities at 6797 Winchester Circle, Boulder, Colorado. The lease expires October 31, 2026.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which modified lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as either finance or operating leases under previous accounting standards and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. We adopted Topic 842 on April 1, 2019, using the alternative modified transition method, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized on the date of adoption with prior periods not restated. There was no cumulative effect adjustment recorded on April 1, 2019. The primary impact for us was the balance sheet recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases as a lessee.
We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. We currently do not have any finance leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities as our leases do not provide an implicit rate. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Effective September 1, 2023, our lease was extended to October 31, 2026. The minimum future lease payment, by fiscal year, as of December 31, 2023 is as follows:
| Schedule of minimum future lease payment | |
|---|---|
| Fiscal Year | Amount |
| 2024 | $97,875 |
| 2025 | 415,667 |
| 2026 | 455,542 |
| 2027 | 270,666 |
| Total | $1,239,750 |
On August 4, 2020, we received $150,000 principal in loan funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program administered by the SBA, which program was expanded pursuant to the CARES Act. The EIDL is evidenced by a promissory note, dated August 1, 2020 in the original principal amount of $150,000 with the SBA, the lender. Under the terms of the Note, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The term of the Note is thirty years, though it may be payable sooner upon an event of default under the Note. The Note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty.
During January 2021, we entered into a note agreement with U.S. Bank for $92,000. The note is for five years at a 5% interest rate and the proceeds were used to purchase equipment. The note is secured by the equipment.
During July 2022, we entered into a note agreement with U.S. Bank for $115,004. The note is for five years at a 6% interest rate and the proceeds were used to purchase equipment. The note is secured by the equipment.
On November 15, 2022, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Pathward, N.A. (formerly Crestmark Bank). The loan is due on demand and has no financial covenants. Under the agreement, we were provided with a line of credit that is not to exceed the lesser of $1,000,000 or 85% of eligible accounts receivable. The interest rate is prime rate plus 0.5%, with a floor of 6.75%, plus a monthly maintenance fee of 0.4%, based on the average monthly loan balance. Interest is charged on a minimum loan balance of $300,000, a loan fee of 0.5% at closing and annually, and an exit fee of 3%, 2% and 1% during years one, two and three, respectively.
The minimum future EIDL payment, by fiscal year, as of December 31, 2023 is as follows:
| Schedule of minimum future lease payment | |
|---|---|
| Fiscal Year | Amount |
| 2024 | $815 |
| 2025 | 3,331 |
| 2026 | 3,457 |
| Thereafter | 149,872 |
| Total | $157,475 |
During January 2021, we entered into a note agreement with U.S. Bank for $92,000. The note is for five years at a 5% interest rate and the proceeds were used to purchase equipment. The note is secured by the equipment.
| Schedule of minimum future lease payment | |
|---|---|
| Fiscal Year | Amount |
| 2024 | $4,600 |
| 2025 | 18,400 |
| 2026 | 13,800 |
| Total | $36,800 |
During July 2022, we entered into a note agreement with U.S. Bank for $115,004. The note is for five years at a 6% interest rate and the proceeds were used to purchase equipment. The note is secured by the equipment.
| Fiscal Year | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2024 | $5,651 |
| 2025 | 23,000 |
| 2026 | 23,000 |
| Thereafter | 31,628 |
| Total | $83,279 |
Aside from the operating lease, EIDL loan and U.S. Bank loans, we do not have any material contractual commitments requiring settlement in the future.
We are subject to regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The FDA provides regulations governing the manufacture and sale of our products and regularly inspects us and other manufacturers to determine compliance with these regulations. We believe that we were in substantial compliance with all known regulations at December 31, 2023. FDA inspections are conducted periodically at the discretion of the FDA. Our latest inspection by the FDA occurred in October 2019.
Note 5. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The provisions of ASC 718-10-55 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and directors, including employee stock options and RSUs, based on estimated fair values. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, which was allocated as follows:
| Schedule of summarizes stock-based compensation | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
| December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |
| Cost of sales | $— | $157 | $— | $473 |
| Sales and marketing | 3,703 | 1,944 | 7,261 | 5,257 |
| General and administrative | 20,561 | 10,841 | 41,068 | 30,182 |
| Research and development | 2,894 | 1,231 | 4,977 | 3,467 |
| Stock-based compensation expense | $27,158 | $14,173 | $53,306 | $39,379 |
Share-based compensation cost for stock options is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton ("BSM") option-pricing model. The BSM option-pricing model requires the use of actual employee exercise behavior data and the application of a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. There were 70,000 stock options granted and 148,000 exercised or forfeited during the three months ended December 31, 2023. There were 90,000 stock options granted and 148,000 exercised or forfeited during the nine months ended December 31, 2023. There were 105,000 stock options granted,10,000 stock options exercised and 105,000 forfeited during the three months ended December 31, 2022. There were 145,000 stock options granted,50,000 stock options exercised and 105,000 forfeited during the nine months ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2023, approximately $165,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock options is expected to be recognized over a period of five years.
Note 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
We paid consulting fees ofnone and $32,032, and $12,094 and $25,822 to an entity owned by one of our board members during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Note 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
We evaluated all of our activity as of the date the unaudited condensed interim financial statements were issued and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in our financial statements or disclosed in the notes to our unaudited condensed interim financial statements.
