Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

SS INNOVATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Organization

SS Innovations International, Inc. (the “Company” or “SSII”) was incorporated as AVRA Surgical Microsystems, Inc. in the State of Florida on February 4, 2015. Effective November 5, 2015, the Company’s corporate name was changed to Avra Medical Robotics, Inc.

On April 14, 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company merged with CardioVentures, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CardioVentures”), the indirect parent of Sudhir Srivastava Innovations Pvt. Ltd., an Indian private limited company engaged in the business of developing innovative surgical robotic technologies. As a result of the transaction, a “change in control” of the Company took place. In addition, among other matters, the Company changed its name to “SS Innovations International, Inc.” and implemented a one for ten reverse stock split. The financial statements, financial information, share and per share information contained in this report reflect the operations of both the Company and CardioVentures and give pro forma effect to the reverse stock split.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company completed its first full year of commercial operations and is still in the process of scaling its operations, financial planning, raising capital, and research into new products which may become part of the Company’s future product portfolio. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying audited condensed financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued. The Company has a working capital surplus of $9,112,029 and an accumulated deficit of $35,329,246 as of December 31, 2023. The Company also had a net loss of $20,941,972 for the year ended December 31, 2023 which was mainly on account of non-cash items like Stock Compensation expense of $13,425,319 and Depreciation of $162,623. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 was also higher as revenue to the extent of $1,668,146 stands transferred to unrealized deferred revenue on account of application of ASC606.

The Company launched the commercial sale of its “SSi Mantra” surgical robotic system in India in the last quarter of 2022, which has been well received by hospitals and healthcare institutions there and in the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded its first export sale to Dubai, UAE. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has sold fifteen surgical robotic systems overall and is now generating regular revenues as additional purchase orders are also being received. In addition to these fifteen surgical robotic systems sold, Company has also installed four systems for evaluation purposes at four hospitals belonging to large hospital groups in India for a predefined number of procedures post which the Company expects to receive regular purchase orders for its surgical robotic system from these hospital groups. In addition to this, we also installed three systems on a pay-per-use basis. These systems were installed in December 2023 and accordingly had not generated any revenues as of December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we also installed one system at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore, Maryland at no cost, for the purposes of conducting medical education training programs with human cadavers and/or animal anatomical tissue specimens. As such, at the end of December 2023, we had twenty-three installed systems of which twenty were installed during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company has been able to augment its financial resources to further supplement its operations. On April 15, 2023, the Company executed a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Line of Credit Note”) with Sushruta Pvt Ltd. (“SPL”), the Bahamian holding company owned by Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and principal shareholder. Pursuant to the Line of Credit Note, SPL, in its discretion could make multiple advances to the Company through December 31, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), in an aggregate amount of up to $20 million for working capital purposes and the advances under the Line of Credit Note do not bear interest and are due and payable on or before the Maturity Date. SPL, at its option, could also convert the principal amount of any advance into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price of $0.74 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2023, SPL had advanced a total of $16,980,000 under the Line of Credit Note upon SPL exercising its option to convert, the outstanding balance of $16,980,00 of the Line of Credit Note was converted in full into 22,945,946 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.74 per share.

This conversion of funds advanced under the Line of Credit Note and subsequently converted into equity has resulted in a significant improvement in the Company’s stockholders’ equity and working capital position. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had stockholders’ equity of $14.3 million and a working capital surplus of $9.11 million as compared to stockholders’ deficit of $2,460,547 and a working capital deficit of $4,420,201 as of December 31, 2022.

The management of the Company is making efforts to raise further funding to scale up operations and meet its longer-term capital needs. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned expansion of its operating activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity capital or be successful in generating additional revenues and ultimately achieving profitability. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

MERGER ACCOUNTING

On April 14, 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company merged with CardioVentures, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the indirect parent of Sudhir Srivastava Innovations Pvt. Ltd., an Indian private limited company. As a result of the transaction, a “change in control” of the Company took place. In addition, among other matters, the Company changed its name to “SS Innovations International, Inc.” and implemented a one for ten reverse stock split. The financial statements, financial information and share and per share information contained in this report reflect the operations of both the Company and CardioVentures and give pro forma effect to the reverse stock split.

The CardioVentures Merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger, and recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For financial reporting purposes, SS Innovations International Inc. was the acquirer and AVRA was the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and operations reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the CardioVentures Merger are consolidated assets and liabilities of AVRA and SS Innovations International Inc. and have been recorded at historical cost basis. The financial statements after completion of the CardioVentures Merger include the assets and liabilities of AVRA and SS Innovations International Inc.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s account receivables are due from customers relating to contracts to supply surgical robotic systems, instruments, and accessories and to provide post sales warranty/maintenance services. The Company also sells surgical robotic systems under deferred payment arrangements and in such cases, the amounts due and recoverable beyond the one year period at the balance sheet date are classified as long-term receivables. Collateral is currently not required. The Company also maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make payments. The Company periodically reviews these estimated allowances, including an analysis of the customers’ payment history and creditworthiness, the age of the trade receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to make payments as well as historical collection trends for its customers as a whole. Based on this review, the Company specifically reserves for those accounts deemed uncollectible or likely to become uncollectible. When receivables are determined to be uncollectible, principal amounts of such receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 amounted to $NIL and $NIL respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. Dollars. The accounts of one of the Company’s subsidiaries is maintained using the appropriate local currency, Indian Rupees (“INR”) as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at balance sheet date, shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the year or the reporting period. The translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) gain. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of operations as foreign currency exchange variance.

The relevant translation rates are as follows: for the Year ended December 30, 2023, closing rate at 83.19 USD/INR, average rate at 82.96 USD/INR.

Inventory

The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods in the form of fully assembled and tested surgical robotic systems, semi-finished goods in the form of various sub-systems of the surgical robotic systems in various stages of assembly and manufacturing and raw material in the form of various mechanical, electrical, and other material components, parts, motors, encoders etc. which are not yet assembled/manufactured. The inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or estimated net realizable value. As of December 31, 2023, the Company valued the inventory at $6,327,256.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains its principal cash balance in United States financial institutions, where deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. The Company also maintains cash balances maintained with banks in India, where balances are insured by Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation of India (DICGC) to the extent of approximately $6,100 per account and in the Bahamas, where deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Corporation Bahamas up to B$50,000 (equivalent to $50,000) per account. As of December 31,2023, the Company had $1,683,141 of deposits in excess of overall insurance coverage limits.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized:

●Identification of a contract with a customer or placement of a purchase order by the customer.
●Identification of the performance obligations in the contract or the purchase order as the case may be.
●Determination of the transaction price which is reflected in the purchase order placed by the customer.
●Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
●Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied as per the terms of the purchase order received from the customer.

The Company accounts for revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Product type and payment terms vary by client.

System Sales:

The Company recognizes revenue at the time when the equipment is dispatched to the customer.

Instrument Sales:

We also sell instruments for use by surgeons in conjunction with the use of our surgical robotic systems. These instruments are consumable items for our hospital customers, and we recognize the revenues from the sale of instruments as and when the instruments are dispatched to the customer.

Warranty and Annual Maintenance Contract Sales:

By application of ASC 606, a portion of the equipment sales value which is attributable towards the component of annual maintenance contracts is shown separately as Warranty sales. Once the warranty periods are over, the actual maintenance contracts kick in and actual income from maintenance contracts is recognized.

Unrealized Deferred Revenue:

Revenues attributable to warranty sales are recognized over the period to which such sales relate. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we sold twelve surgical robotic systems and the revenues attributable to warranty sales is deferred for recognition over the period to which it relates. Due to application of ASC606, as of December 31, 2023, a total of $1,668,146 of System Sales revenue stands transferred to unrealized deferred revenue and due to this adjustment, revenues for the year ended December 31,2023 is reflected less and the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, is reflected more to the extent of this unrealized deferred revenue.

Property Plant & Equipment

Property Plant & Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method at rates determined as per estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives used in in calculating depreciation are as follows:

Years
Office furniture and fixtures4
Plant and equipment4-8
Motor vehicles3

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property Plant and Equipment”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset and current expectation that the asset will more than likely not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the discounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain circumstances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Stock Compensation Expense

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC Topic 505, “Equity.” Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by ASC Topic 505.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes.” Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10-05 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

In accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share,”* *basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share gives effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period, only in periods in which such effect is dilutive. The Company only has stock options and convertible promissory notes that may be converted to outstanding potential common shares.

Research and Development Costs

In accordance with ASC Topic 730 “Research and Development”, with the exception of intellectual property that is purchased from another enterprise and have alternative future use, research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist principally of accounts receivable, amounts due to related parties and promissory notes payable. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and promissory notes approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Compensation- Stock Compensation

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,” that provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The new guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and was applied on a prospective basis, as required. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements or the related disclosures.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under ASU 2016-02, lessors will account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing GAAP for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Unlike current guidance, however, a lease with collectability uncertainties may be classified as a sales-type lease. If collectability of lease payments, plus any amount necessary to satisfy a lessee residual value guarantee, is not probable, lease payments received will be recognized as a deposit liability and the underlying assets will not be derecognized until collectability of the remaining amounts becomes probable. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition. The Company did not adopt the standard effective January 1, 2019, utilizing the lessor practical expedient. On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 which amended the effective dates for ASC 842, to give implementation relief. Under the FASB’s new framework, two “buckets” were defined, bucket 1 includes public companies that are SEC filers but excludes “Small Reporting Companies” (SRC’s). Bucket 2 includes all other entities, including SRC’s. Bucket 2 entities have to apply ASC 842 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021.
