Strategic Report 

Chairman & CEO’s Joint Statement

To the Members of Renalytix AI plc
We are delighted to present the annual report for the twelve months ended 30 June 2020 for Renalytix AI plc 
(“RenalytixAI” or the “Company”).

About RenalytixAI
RenalytixAI was created to accelerate the introduction of advanced diagnostic products to the market 
place that could have a major impact on the cost and quality of life for patients with kidney and other 
chronic diseases. Chronic Kidney Disease (“CKD”), in particular, is one of the largest unmet medical 
challenges today. RenalytixAI was founded in 2018 based on research by leading nephrologists at the Icahn 
School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (“Mount Sinai”) and initially funded through an admission to AIM, a 
market of the London Stock Exchange, on 6 November 2018. Post-period, in July, we expanded our capital 
base by raising an additional $85 million through an offering and listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. 

We have made significant progress towards our operational, regulatory and reimbursement goals and 
are now engaged in commercial roll-out of our lead product, KidneyIntelXTM, in the United States. In 
addition, we are seeing an increase in strategic partnering activities which will continue to build on the 
validation and commercial use cases for KidneyIntelX. 

KidneyIntelX™
KidneyIntelX is a clinical grade, artificial intelligence in vitro diagnostic (“AI-IVD”) solution that we believe 
will change the ability to identify rapid kidney function decline and/or kidney failure earlier and more 
accurately in diabetic patients with CKD. KidneyIntelX uses a unique combination of blood-based 
markers and electronic health record information to provide a unique patient risk-score. We believe 
KidneyIntelX is setting a medical and regulatory standard for use of artificial intelligence enabled 
algorithms to predict disease outcomes and drive actionable clinical response. 

KidneyIntelX has achieved national medical reimbursement pricing and also regulatory approval to offer 
testing services nationally. We believe our core strategy of using in vitro diagnostic development protocols 
and quality standards will continue to yield commercial benefits such as growing reimbursement 
coverage and expanded use cases with regulatory review. 

As our validation and utility study accumulate, KidneyIntelX has growing potential to be viewed as the 
compelling solution to promote early intervention in kidney disease where impact on care and cost is 
most effective. The board of directors of the Company (the “Directors” or the “Board”) is pleased with the 
broad-based support that KidneyIntelX is attracting from leading clinicians and healthcare providers. 

Operational Progress
In the year ended 30 June 2020 (“FY20”) and the immediate post-period, the Company has achieved a 
number of key objectives culminating in the activation of KidneyIntelX within the Mount Sinai Health 
System, our launch hospital system partnership, shortly after period end. Expert experience is reflected in  
the design of the KidneyIntelX test report and the newly launched product website – www.kidneyintelx.com.  
We believe our education and support programme will be an important resource to help inform and 
improve care for early stage diabetic kidney disease (“DKD”) patients and support future hospital system 
deployments of KidneyIntelX in the United States and abroad.

The Company also continues to execute on a number of key operational items including (1) growing  
our world-class employee base and leadership team to manage US national commercial expansion,  
(2) product development which will add to the KidneyIntelX clinical use cases and addressable market, 
(3) expanding laboratory services capacity with our new facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, (4) gaining further 
regulatory approvals which currently allow us to operate in 49 states and (5) generating additional utility 
and validation data to build-out our peer-reviewed performance data dossier.

Reimbursement
As we have previously reported, KidneyIntelX has achieved both a distinct Common Procedural 
Terminology (“CPT”) reimbursement code 0105U and inclusion in the Final 2020 Clinical Laboratory Fee 
Schedule (“CLFS”) by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) which set a national price 
for KidneyIntelX at $950 per reportable test result. Post-period, CMS has submitted for public comment a 
rule which would provide an automatic National Medicare Coverage Determination for diagnostic devices 
under FDA Breakthrough Device designation upon approval. As we already have designated coding and 
pricing in effect and were awarded Breakthrough Device designation in May of 2019, this new proposed 
CMS rule making, if it becomes effective, could help shorten the time to addressable market population 
with insurance coverage for KidneyIntelX. We estimate that the number of DKD patients covered under 
Medicare exceeds 12 million and, in specific metro markets such as our New York City launch market, 
represents a majority of insured DKD patients.

Regulatory
Post-period in July 2020, we received a clinical laboratory permit from the New York State Department 
of Health (NYS DOH) to provide commercial testing of KidneyIntelX. The permit was granted following 
a review by a panel of NYS DOH scientists and external reviewers of the analytical and clinical validation 
results for KidneyIntelX. Officials from the NYS DOH successfully completed an inspection of the 
RenalytixAI New York laboratory as part of this process, with no findings reported.

In addition, post-period, we submitted our final package to FDA seeking clearance of KidneyIntelX. Our 
FDA process has been highly constructive and, we believe, fundamental to producing a robust first-in-
class, artificial intelligence-enabled in vitro diagnostic product. Further we believe FDA clearance will be 
important to building on our national reimbursement strategy and clinical adoption. 

Financing
RenalytixAI has continued to benefit from the participation of a growing investor base. In July 2019, we 
raised gross proceeds of $17.3m in a following-on financing on the AIM market, and post-period end,  
we raised an additional $85.1m in gross proceeds through an offering and concurrent dual-listing on the 
Nasdaq Global Market in the U.S. The Directors believe our company is now in a position with considerable 
financial resources to build our business and maintain a competitive advantage for years to come. 

Strategic Partnerships
We believe that KidneyIntelX’s unique value proposition and the early, but rapidly developing market for 
precision medicine applications in CKD will allow us to form long-term partnerships with key industry 
stakeholders including pharmaceutical, services and health care providers. These partnerships can have a 
material impact on expanding performance data and market opportunity around KidneyIntelX.

In FY20 and the post-period, we announced partnerships with two leading pharmaceutical companies, 
most recently with AstraZeneca (LSE/STO/NYSE: AZN). Our partnership with AstraZeneca is examining 
uptake of, and patient adherence to, chronic kidney disease treatments using the ability of KidneyIntelX 
to identify patients earlier with progressive decline in kidney function.

In May 2020, we entered into a joint venture with Mount Sinai to form Kantaro Biosciences LLC (“Kantaro”) 
for the purpose of developing and commercialising test kits for the detection of blood antibodies to SARS-
CoV-2 based on technology originally developed by Mount Sinai. We believe Kantaro and its exclusive 
manufacturing and distribution partner Bio-Techne (NASDAQ TECH) are making progress towards key 
regulatory and other commercial milestones that will enable these testing kits to be sold worldwide.

5

Patient Studies
We have now completed expanded clinical validation studies for patients with DKD with positive results 
consistent with the KidneyIntelX interim analyses announced on 9 July 2019. These study results were 
presented at the 80th Annual American Diabetes Conference and are under peer-review for journal 
publication. These data results were part of our KidneyIntelX FDA filing requesting clearance. 

During the period, a collaboration study was completed with University Medical Center Groningen 
(“UMCG”), Netherlands, to determine the ability of KidneyIntelX to identify patients that will experience 
a progressive decline in kidney function or kidney failure in over 9,000 blood samples analysed across 
multiple time points in 3,500 patients followed longitudinally. In addition, we are evaluating the 
response to drug therapy based on baseline risk and change in risk over time as defined by KidneyIntelX. 
The analyses are ongoing, and multiple findings from the dataset will be presented at international 
conferences including the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week, October 2020 in Denver. 

Intellectual Property 
In the period, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office allowed claims extending the use of one of 
KidneyIntelX’s primary blood biomarkers, sTNFR1, to all patients with diabetes to determine an increased 
risk of developing progressive kidney disease or kidney failure. We have also completed rights to 
additional patent applications for use with KidneyIntelX. 

We continue to build out our intellectual property portfolio and are actively evaluating in-licensing 
opportunities that will enhance our competitive product positioning.

Human Resources
Fundamental to execution of our business plans is the hiring and retention of top-tier professionals 
through the entire company operations. Leading in to our NASDAQ listing, we implemented an 
international search to fill key management and operating positions critical to commercialisation, 
product development, quality control, marketing, governance and other core functions. To date we 
have filled several positions including VP of Health Systems Partnerships, Chief Human Resources 
Officer, VP of Project Management, Director of Scientific Project Management, Billing Manager, Client 
Services Director, Senior Site Reliability Engineer, Clinical Laboratory Scientist, Senior Manager Technical 
Accounting, Client Services Specialist, among others. Professionals coming on board RenalytixAI have 
cited an excitement to be part of a high-growth opportunity intersecting with a game-changing 
technology that can affect many patient lives.

Finally, we would like to thank Julian Baines and Richard Evans for their valued service as directors of the 
Company (Mr. Baines as chairman) since inception until our dual-listing on Nasdaq.

Company Overview

Pioneering Next-Generation Health Technology Solutions for Kidney Disease
RenalytixAI is an artificial intelligence-enabled in vitro diagnostics company, focused on optimising the 
clinical management of kidney disease to drive improved patient outcomes and advance value-based 
care. Our goal is to lower healthcare costs and improve a patient’s quality of life by transforming the 
paradigm for kidney disease risk assessment and clinical management through our KidneyIntelX platform. 
KidneyIntelX is a first-in-class artificial intelligence-enabled in vitro diagnostic enabling risk prediction of 
progressive decline in kidney function and/or risk of kidney failure in diabetic patients with CKD.

We believe KidneyIntelX is a powerful prognostic tool to help clinicians and patients slow the progression 
of kidney disease and support strategies to prevent kidney failure and the need for long-term dialysis 
or a kidney transplant. We are continuing to build a body of evidence through clinical validation and 
utility studies demonstrating that accurate and early identification of high-risk patients, coupled with 
guidelines-driven clinical recommendations designed to maximise patient treatment and compliance, 
can have a measurable positive impact on a patient’s quality of life.

On a Mission to Combat a Devastating and Costly Disease
Kidney disease is a public health epidemic affecting over 850 million people globally, approximately 
twice that of diabetes and 20 times more than cancer. Commonly referred to as a “silent disease,” kidney 
disease is often asymptomatic until a majority of kidney function has been lost. As a result, CKD is 
associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.

In the United States, 15 percent of adults, or 37 million people, currently have CKD, significantly impacting 
their quality of life and resulting in Medicare spending of over $120 billion per year. Further, the CDC 
reports that 9 out of 10 adults with CKD do not know they have it, and one out of two people with very low 
kidney function who are not on dialysis do not know they have CKD.

It is estimated that one-third of adults in the U.S. are at risk for kidney disease. This risk is greatest for those 
suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity. Studies have also shown that 
ethnicity is a determining factor, with African Americans and Hispanic populations deemed most at risk.

In response to this substantial kidney disease burden, a U.S. Presidential Executive Order on Advancing 
American Kidney Health was issued in July 2019 to support changes in kidney disease care and to prevent 
kidney failure whenever possible through better diagnosis, treatment, and incentives for preventative care.

We believe that RenalytixAI is well-positioned to help meet this urgent medical need with KidneyIntelX, 
initially indicated for adult patients with type 2 diabetes and existing CKD, accounting for 20 to 30 percent 
of the estimated 37 million U.S. CKD patients.

Product Overview and Strategy

RenalytixAI is a commercial-stage artificial intelligence-enabled in vitro diagnostics company, focused 
on optimising clinical management in chronic kidney disease to help drive improved patient outcomes 
and significantly lower healthcare costs. The Company’s products are being designed to make 
significant improvements in kidney disease prognosis, transplant management, clinical care, and patient 
stratification for drug clinical trials.

KidneyIntelX: Bringing Precision Medicine to Kidney Care
KidneyIntelX employs a proprietary, artificial intelligence-enabled algorithm that combines diverse data 
inputs, including validated blood-based biomarkers, inherited genetics, and data from electronic health 
record systems to generate a unique patient risk score, which is reported to the treating clinician on a 
scale from 0 to 100 and categorises patients into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk strata. This patient risk 
score enables prediction of progressive decline in kidney function in patients with diabetic kidney disease 
(DKD), allowing physicians and healthcare systems to optimise the allocation of treatments and clinical 
resources to those patients at highest risk.

KidneyIntelX is one of the first in vitro diagnostics with the novel capability of using a machine learning-
enabled algorithm to generate a continuous risk score. KidneyIntelX enables timely and accurate 
prediction of risk of disease progression in the earlier stages of DKD, where active intervention has the most 
potential to delay or prevent progression to kidney failure and the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Our business model is focused, in part, on partnerships with healthcare systems and insurance payors 
to drive rapid adoption across regionally concentrated populations of DKD patients and maximise data 
analysis and clinical management strategies across all key disease stakeholders.

Commercialisation
KidneyIntelX is designed as a scalable platform that can be optimised and deployed into clinical use on 
a validated-version by validated-version basis. The initial commercial launch version of KidneyIntelX is 
indicated for patients 21 years of age or older with earlier stage DKD (Stages 1 through 3) and assesses the 
risk of progressive decline in kidney function over a five-year timeframe.

In June 2020, RenalytixAI received approval to commence commercial testing from the New York 
State Department of Health’s Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program. With licensed CLIA commercial 
laboratories in Salt Lake City, Utah and New York, New York, RenalytixAI can currently provide 
KidneyIntelX testing services in 50 states.

Reimbursement and Regulatory Progress
RenalytixAI is actively engaged in efforts to achieve commercial coverage and reimbursement for 
KidneyIntelX. In February 2020, we received certification to ISO 13485 for the Salt Lake City Laboratory. 
In FY20, KidneyIntelX was granted a common procedural terminology (CPT) code and received its first 
positive coverage determination from a private insurance payor group. In addition, the Centers for 
Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) set the national price for KidneyIntelX at $950, effective on  
1 January 2020. This price will remain in effect for a three-year term from January 2020 until December 2022.

In May 2019, KidneyIntelX was granted Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA). In June 2020, we received approval from the New York State Department of Health 
(NYS DOH) to provide commercial testing of KidneyIntelX. The approval was granted following a review 
by a panel of NYS DOH scientists and external reviewers of the analytical and clinical validation results for 
KidneyIntelX. Additionally, officials from the NYS DOH successfully completed an inspection of our New 
York laboratory with no deficiencies reported.

10

Partnership Model
Partnerships with healthcare systems are core to our adoption and growth strategy. Integrated 
partnerships are designed to allow KidneyIntelX to be deployed directly to patient populations and their 
treating clinicians in a cost-efficient and timely manner.

Our Company was founded through a collaborative effort with the Mount Sinai Health System (Mount 
Sinai). Mount Sinai is one of our significant shareholders and the launch partner for KidneyIntelX. Mount 
Sinai encompasses the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and eight hospital campuses in the New 
York metropolitan area. Mount Sinai is a pioneer in kidney health and devoted to discovering causes, 
prevention, and treatment of kidney disorders. Our collaborative research and validation studies with 
Mount Sinai utilise the Mount Sinai BioMe biobank. BioMe is designed to enable researchers to conduct 
genetic, epidemiologic, molecular, and genomic studies using research specimens from consented 
participants, which are linked with each participant’s de-identified health information. For KidneyIntelX, 
this has allowed us to conduct rapid, prospective clinical validation using samples banked at “time zero,” 
prior to the occurrence of progressive kidney function decline.

In June 2020, we announced a partnership with the University of Michigan to extend the application 
of the KidneyIntelX platform to an expanded population of patients with established CKD or at risk 
of developing CKD. RenalytixAI also announced a data sharing agreement with a top ten global 
pharmaceutical company during this same time period.

RenalytixAI COVID-19 Initiatives
In FY2020, RenalytixAI also emerged as an innovator in the fight against COVID-19, employing its scientific 
resources and technology to help mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Prediction of Major Adverse Kidney Events and Recovery Study 
In April 2020, RenalytixAI announced a study launched in conjunction with the Icahn School of Medicine 
at Mount Sinai to assess the risk of adverse kidney events in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the 
acute hospitalisation setting. The study is using the KidneyIntelX platform to analyse clinical features and 
several biomarkers as predictors of major adverse kidney events in patients hospitalised with COVID-19. 
Data from this study will be used to foster research projects to improve the knowledge of COVID-19 and 
augment clinical operations with augmented intelligence.

Kantaro Biosciences
Additionally, in May 2020, Renalytix announced the launch of Kantaro Biosciences, a joint venture with 
the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, to develop and scale production and distribution of a high-
performance test kit for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The underlying technology was created by Mount Sinai’s 
internationally-recognised team of virologists and pathologists, and is designed for use in any lab without 
the need for proprietary equipment. The test will deliver valuable information regarding the level of 
potentially neutralising antibodies in previously infected individuals. Additionally, the test will diagnose 
patients’ post-acute infection, that previously were asymptomatic or did not receive a diagnostic test 
during the acute infection period. This diagnostic information is vital to patients presenting with signs 
and symptoms of known comorbidities such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, cardiac 
anomalies, and acute kidney injury. This information is also expected to be critical to the development of 
vaccines and therapeutics, as well as the assessment of workplace personal protection programmes and 
population vaccination programmes.

Financial Review

The results presented cover FY20. The Group’s presentational currency is the United States Dollar.

Key Performance Indicators
Renalytix AI and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) focuses on assay development and operating/
administrative costs relative to plan as key performance indicators, as well as its cash position. Once test 
sales commence, revenue, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA will be added as performance indicators, 
as well as certain non-financial measures.

Income Statement

Revenue
The Group is in its initial commercial launch phase and therefore has not yet commenced revenue 
generation as of the end of FY20. The Group expects commercial testing sales to begin in the first half of 
the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (“FY21”).

Administrative Costs
During FY20, administrative expenses totalled $11.1m (financial year ended 30 June 2019 (“FY19”): $7.6m). 
The major items of expenditure were general and administrative costs of $8.9m (FY19: $6.4m) which 
included $4.6m in employee-related costs (FY19: $2.1m), $3.0m in subcontractors, legal, accounting, 
and other professional fees (FY19: $2.6m), and $2.3m in insurance, marketing, materials, rent, and other 
administrative costs (FY19: $1.7m). Depreciation and amortization expense totalled $1.2m for the period 
(FY19: $1.2m).

Finance Income
Finance income totalled $0.5m during FY20 (FY19: $0.2m) related to interest earned on short-term 
investments.

Other Income
$0.1m was generated through the sale of assay materials in support of a third-party study.

Balance Sheet

Inventory
During FY20, the Company purchased $0.4m of consumable assay materials to be used in the processing 
of tests to be sold. Inventory on hand at 30 June 2020 totalled $0.3m (no inventory on hand in FY19).

Fixed Assets
Property, plant, and equipment consists of laboratory equipment being used to support the product 
development activities. At 30 June 2020, the company held $0.9m in net property, plant, and equipment 
(FY19: $0.3m).

Intangible Assets
$17.1m net book value of intangible assets held at 30 June 2020 (FY19: $18.8m) includes payments made 
primarily to Mount Sinai for license and patent costs for the intellectual property underlying KidneyIntelX 
and VericiDx, as well as amounts capitalised as development costs. Intangible assets also include the 
value of the biomarker business purchased (in exchange for ordinary shares in the Company) from EKF.

12

Deferred Tax
A deferred tax asset totalling $2.3m (FY19: $1.0m) has been calculated based on the accumulated tax 
losses in the US.

Cash
The Group had cash on hand of $13.3m (FY19: $7.3m). Cash and equivalents are held in several deposit 
accounts in the US ($10.9m) and UK ($2.4m), as well as in US Treasury Bills ($1.0m). Our expenditure plans 
remain sufficiently adaptable to align with available resources.

Borrowings
In April 2020, the Company entered into an original loan agreement with Fortis Private Bank as the lender 
(“Lender”) for a loan in an aggregate principal amount of $0.3 million (the “Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck 
Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and 
implemented by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Loan matures in two years and bears interest 
at a rate of 1% per annum, with all payments deferred through the six-month anniversary of the date of the 
Loan. Principal and interest are payable monthly commencing on October 29, 2020 and may be prepaid 
by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty. The Company may apply for forgiveness of 
amounts due under the Loan, with the amount of potential loan forgiveness to be calculated in accordance 
with the requirements of the PPP based on payroll costs, any mortgage interest payments, any covered 
rent payments and any covered utilities payments during the 8-week period after the origination date of 
the Loan. The Company intends to use proceeds of the Loan for payroll and other qualifying expenses, but 
there can be no assurances that any portion of the Loan will be forgiven.

Other than the Loan, the Group has no long-term debt outstanding as of 30 June 2020.

Post Balance Sheet Event
The Company completed a Nasdaq dual-listing in July 2020 and associated financing raising net capital of 
$76.1m after commissions, fees and offering expenses.

Risk Management Approach

We recognise that effective risk management is essential to the successful delivery of the Group’s 
strategy. As we grow our business, we believe it is important to develop and enhance our risk 
management processes and control environment on an ongoing basis and ensure it is fit for purpose by 
identifying and managing risks across the Group in a consistent and robust manner.

Below we describe our risk management approach, the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the 
Group and the controls in place to manage them.

Overview of Risk Management Approach
The key principles that guide the Group’s risk management approach are outlined below: 

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

It is the employees’ responsibility to ensure they understand and comply with the Risk 
Management Policy and their defined risk management roles and responsibilities. 

There is a defined risk management governance structure with clear accountabilities at  
Group’s location. 

A consistent risk management approach is used throughout the Group to identify and manage 
risks posed in the AI and life sciences industries. 

Risk management is embedded in all key processes and decision-making within the Group 
(including strategy setting, budgeting, planning and day-to-day operations and activities).

A risk register is maintained and updated periodically. The register includes the risk description, risk 
owner, mitigation/control description and risk profile.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties
Set out below are the principal risks which we believe could materially affect the Group’s ability to achieve 
its financial and operating objectives and control or mitigating activities adopted to manage them. The 
risks are not listed in order of significance.

The Group Is Dependent Upon Its Strategic Collaboration With Third Party Partners
The Group is working to develop and commercialise its products in close collaboration with strategic 
partners. The Group is dependent upon third parties for resources and revenue. Failure by these 
strategic partners to meet its key contractual obligations or to purchase KidneyIntelX tests, for whatever 
reason, would likely have a material adverse effect on the Group and its ability to achieve its commercial 
objectives, potentially including the attainment of sales volumes leading to profitability, and may 
ultimately result in the Group becoming unviable. 

Regulatory Risk
There can be no guarantee that any of the Group’s products will be able to obtain or maintain the 
necessary regulatory approvals in any or all of the territories in respect of which applications for such 
approvals are made. Where regulatory approvals are obtained, there can be no guarantee that the 
conditions attached to such approvals will not be considered too onerous by the Group or its partners in 
order to be able to market its products effectively. 

The Group seeks to reduce this risk by seeking advice from regulatory advisers, consultations with 
regulatory approval bodies and by working with experienced partners.

14

Reimbursement Levels
There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to continue to sell its products or services profitably 
if the reimbursement level from third party payers, including government and private health insurers, 
is limited or subsequently withdrawn. Third party payers are increasingly attempting to contain health 
care costs through measures that could impact the Company including challenging the prices charged 
for health care products and services, limiting both coverage and the amount of reimbursement for new 
diagnostics products and services, and denying or limiting coverage for products that are approved by the 
regulatory agencies but are considered experimental by third party payers.

The Company understands that due to third party dependency it is extremely difficult to eradicate this risk. 
However, the Company manages this risk with constant dialogue and educating the third-party payers on 
the Group’s products and also developing new technologies in order to seek additional reimbursements.

Key Employees
The Company’s future development and prospects depend to a significant degree on the continuing 
contribution of key members of its Board, Senior Management and Scientific Advisory Board. As a small 
organisation, the Company relies on a core team of staff and is therefore exposed to any significant 
departures of key personnel. In particular, the Company’s performance depends significantly on the 
continuing contribution of its CEO, James McCullough, its President, Thomas McLain, its CTO, Fergus 
Fleming, its CFO, O. James Sterling and its CMO, Michael Donovan.

The Group operates in a highly competitive field and the expertise and skills of key individuals are also 
applicable in a number of other fields and industries. The high level of demand for such expertise and 
skills means that there is increasingly intense competition for talent. The departure of any of the key 
members to pursue other opportunities or because they are no longer able to continue to perform their 
roles (for whatever reason) could have a negative impact on its operations and could affect the Group’s 
ability to execute the Group’s business strategy.

To seek to mitigate the potential risk of departures, the Company has adopted a competitive 
remuneration structure, which includes share-based incentives. The Company has also taken out key-
man insurance on James McCullough. However, there can be no assurance that this insurance will be 
adequate or continue to be available on appropriate terms or at all.

Obsolescence of Group’s Products 
Demand for the Group’s products could be adversely impacted by the development of alternative 
technology and alternative medicines specifically intended for the identification, stratification and/
or treatment of CKD patients. There can be no assurance that the technology and products currently 
being developed by the Group will not be rendered obsolete. New AI technology may continue to 
emerge and develop. As a result, there is the possibility that new technology may be superior to, or 
render obsolete, the technology that the Group currently is developing. Any failure of the Company 
to ensure that its technology platform and products remain up to date with the latest technology 
may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s competitiveness and financial performance. 
The Group’s success will depend, in part, on its or its partners’ ability to develop and adapt to these 
technological changes and industry trends.

The Group is Subject to Increasingly Stringent Privacy and Data Security Legislation
Regulatory, legislative or self-regulatory/standard developments regarding privacy and data security 
matters could adversely affect the Group’s ability to conduct the Group’s business. The Group is subject 
to laws, rules, regulations and industry standards related to data privacy and cyber security, and 
restrictions or technological requirements regarding the collection, use, storage, protection, retention 
or transfer of data.

For the foreseeable future, the Group will only process data relating to patients in the US and will 
therefore be subject to various rules and regulations, including those promulgated under the authority 
of the US Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Trade Commission, and state 
cybersecurity and breach notification laws, as well as regulator enforcement positions and expectations.

15

If the Company begins processing personal data in the context of an establishment in a country that 
is subject to the GDPR or if it offers products or services to residents of an EU country, it will have to 
comply with various robust obligations.

Globally, governments and agencies have adopted and could in the future adopt, modify, apply or 
enforce laws, policies, regulations, and standards covering user privacy, data security, technologies that 
are used to collect, store and/or process data, marketing online, the use of data to inform marketing, 
the taxation of products and services, unfair and deceptive practices, and the collection (including 
the collection of information), use, processing, transfer, storage and/or disclosure of data associated 
with unique individual internet users. New regulation or legislative actions regarding data privacy and 
security (together with applicable industry standards) may increase the costs of doing business and 
could have a material adverse impact on the Group’s operations and cash flows.

Despite the Group’s ongoing efforts to ensure practices are compliant, the Group may not be successful 
either due to various factors within the Group’s control, such as limited financial or human resources, 
or other factors outside the Group’s control. It is also possible that local data protection authorities may 
have different interpretations of the GDPR, leading to potential inconsistencies amongst various EU 
member states.

Competition
The markets in which the Group operates, which include the markets for laboratory developed tests, clinical 
diagnostic support tools and clinical AI solutions, are potentially highly competitive and rapidly changing.

Competitors may have access to considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources. The 
availability and price of the Group’s competitors’ clinical AI development services could limit the demand, 
and the price the Group is able to charge, for its services. New competing products may enter the 
market and make the Group’s discoveries and the products developed from those discoveries obsolete. 
Alternatively, a competitor’s products may be more effective, cheaper or more effectively marketed 
than the products developed by the Group, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s 
profitability and/or financial condition.

Technological competition from medical device companies, life science companies, universities and 
academic medical centres is intense and can be expected to increase. Many competitors and potential 
competitors of the Group have substantially greater product development capabilities and financial, 
scientific, marketing and human resources than the Group. The future success of the Group depends, 
in part, on its ability to maintain a competitive position, including an ability to further progress through 
the necessary preclinical and clinical trials to support commercialisation, marketing authorisation where 
necessary, and coverage and reimbursement. Other companies may succeed in commercialising products 
earlier than the Group or in developing products that are more effective than those which may be 
produced by the Group. While the Group will seek to develop its capabilities in order to remain competitive, 
there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render the Group’s products 
obsolete or uncompetitive.

Research and Development Risk
The Group operates in the life sciences sector and will look to exploit opportunities within that sector. The 
Group is involved in complex clinical development processes and industry experience indicates that there 
may be a very high incidence of delay or failure to produce the desired results. The Group may not be 
able to develop new products or to identify specific market needs that can be addressed by technology 
solutions developed by the Group. The ability of the Group to develop new technology relies, in part, on 
the recruitment of appropriately qualified staff as the Group grows. The Group may be unable to find a 
sufficient number of appropriately highly trained individuals to satisfy its growth rate which could affect 
its ability to develop as planned.

Product development timelines are at risk of delay, particularly since it is not always possible to predict 
the rate of patient recruitment into clinical trials. There is a risk therefore that product development could 
take longer than presently expected by the Board. If such delays occur, the Group may require further 
working capital. The Board shall seek to minimise the risk of delays by careful management of projects.

16

In addition, research and development may be subject to various requirements, such as research subject 
protection for individuals participating in clinical evaluations of new laboratory developed tests and 
products, institutional review board oversight, regulatory authorisations, and design control requirements 
for FDA and EU-regulated products. Failure to comply with requirements could result in penalties, delay, 
or prevent commercialisation of products.

Financial Reporting and Disclosure
Due to the nature of the Group there is a requirement to report accurate financial information in 
compliance with accounting standards and applicable legislation.

This risk is mitigated through the Group’s internal controls over the financial information and reporting, 
overseen by the local financial heads and then reviewed by the central finance team, including the Chief 
Financial Officer. The annual financial statements are also subject to audit by the Group’s external auditors.

Cyber Security Risk
The Group uses computers extensively in its operations and has an online presence but does not trade 
online. It is at risk of attack through hacking or other methods. This risk is mitigated by the use of robust 
security measures, staff training, and back-up systems.

Intellectual Property Risk
The commercial success of the Group and its ability to compete effectively with other companies 
depends, amongst other things, on its ability to obtain and maintain patents sufficiently broad in scope 
to provide protection for the Group’s intellectual property rights against third parties and to exploit its 
products. The absence of any such patents may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s ability to 
develop its business.

The Group mitigates this risk by developing products where legal advice indicates patent protection 
would be available, seeking patent protection for the Group’s products, maintaining confidentiality 
agreements regarding Group know-how and technology and monitoring technological developments 
and the registration of patents by other parties. The commercial success of the Group also depends upon 
not infringing patents granted, now or in the future, to third parties who may have filed applications or 
who have obtained, or may obtain, patents relating to business processes which might inhibit the Group’s 
ability to develop and exploit its own products.

Pandemic Risk
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainty in the market in the short term. Many countries 
are either closed or on the verge of being shut down, and government action is having a significant effect 
on economies across the world. The eventual severity and length of the economic disruption is impossible 
to forecast. We believe we have a robust plan in place to mitigate the effect of the disruption on the 
business including taking the following actions (amongst others):

 ظ Organising for as many staff as possible to work from home

 ظ

Improving our computer networking to facilitate remote working

 ظ Gaining designation as a company essential to basic medical care which allows our premises  

to remain open even in a lockdown

 ظ

 ظ

Improved social distancing by limiting physical meetings, expanding flexible working,  
and altering production practices 

Preparing requests for support for short time working with local authorities in case this  
becomes necessary

 ظ Banning international travel and limiting domestic travel

 ظ

Increasing supplier and customer contact so as to be able to anticipate issues and react quickly

17

We have insurance cover in place in case there is a loss of business, although it cannot be guaranteed 
that cover will be sufficient to protect against all eventualities.

We have not yet seen any material disruption to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and 
current trading suggests that our base case forecasts are still applicable. However, at this stage, it is 
difficult to assess reliably whether there will be any material disruption in the future. We have modelled 
a number of scenarios covering reductions in revenue of 10% and 50%, without taking into account 
the potential benefits of any mitigation strategies such as potential cost savings or insurance claims. 
We have also modelled out 100% reductions in revenue with cost savings within our control. While the 
eventual severity and length of the economic disruption stemming from the pandemic is impossible 
to forecast these models give the Directors reasonable confidence that the business has sufficient 
resources to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months.

Section 172 Statement

The Directors are required by law to act in good faith to promote the success of the Company for the 
benefit of the shareholders as a whole and are also required to have regard to the following:

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

the likely long-term consequences of any decision;

the interests of the Company’s employees;

the need to foster the Company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;

the impact of the Company’s operations on the community and the environment;

the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and

the need to act fairly as between shareholders of the Company.

Please see the Corporate Governance Statement in the Directors’ Report for an overview of the 
Company’s corporate governance arrangements.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s joint statement and the section headed “Product Overview 
and Strategy” in this Strategic Report describes the Group’s activities, strategies and future prospects, 
including the considerations for long-term decision making. In particular, the Group has made significant 
progress towards its operational, regulatory and reimbursement goals and is now engaged in commercial 
roll-out of its lead product, KidneyIntelX in the United States. In addition, the Group is seeing an increase 
in strategic partnering activities which will continue to build on the validation and commercial use cases 
for KidneyIntelX.

The Board has a good relationship with the Group’s employees. The Board maintains constructive 
dialogue with employees through the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the executive 
team. Appropriate remuneration and incentive schemes are maintained to align employees’ objectives 
with those of the Group. See further under Employees in the section headed “Corporate Social 
Responsibility” below.

The Group endeavours to maintain good relationships with its suppliers by contracting on fair business 
terms, paying within agreed timeframes, and responding promptly to inquiries.

The Group’s operations have minimal environmental impact. Please see Environment in the section 
headed “Corporate Social Responsibility” below for more details.

The Board recognises the Group’s duty to be a good corporate citizen. See Social, community and human 
rights in the section headed “Corporate Social Responsibility” below for more details. Please also see details 
of our initiatives in relation to the global COVID-19 pandemic under “Renalytix AI Covid-19 Initiatives”.

The Board recognises the importance of maintaining high standards of business conduct. The Group 
operates a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to its employees, independent contractors, 
executive officers and directors. A current copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on 
our website, which is located at www.renalytixai.com.

The Board endeavours to maintain good relationships with its shareholders and treat them equally.  
This is described in more detail in the Corporate Governance Statement under the heading “Relations 
with Shareholders”.

19

There were a number of initiatives and strategic actions undertaken during FY20 which the Directors 
believe were in the best interests of the Company and all its stakeholders as follows:

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

In May 2020, following negotiations, during which the Board had full oversight, the Company and 
Mount Sinai entered into the Kantaro Operating Agreement for the purpose of developing and 
commercialising laboratory tests for the detection of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 originally 
developed by Mount Sinai. Kantaro has partnered with Bio-Techne Corporation to develop the 
new test with the goal of commercially launching in the third quarter of calendar year 2020. The 
decision to invest time and resources into the global effort against SARS-CoV-2 demonstrates 
a commitment to community engagement on behalf of the Board. The Board considered this 
transaction to be in the best interests of all stakeholders. 

The Company made key strategic appointments during the period of review, including Thomas 
McLain (President & Chief Commercial Officer) and Dr. Chirag Parikh (Non-Executive Director). 
Mr McLain brings extensive experience in progressive diagnostic reimbursement strategy, having 
served as Board Chair and Board member of numerous successful pharmaceutical, biotechnology 
and diagnostic companies. Dr. Parikh is the Director of the Division of Nephrology and the Ronald 
Peterson Professor of Medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Each of these strategic 
appointments was made with consideration for all of our key stakeholders. The Board continually 
reviews the Company’s composition of Directors and officers in order to ensure that the relevant 
level of expertise and experience is maintained at senior management level and above. Our 
continual review of Board composition and thorough decision making regarding key strategic 
hires is central to our value creation strategy and is beneficial for our shareholders, employees, and 
customers as a whole. 

Throughout the period, the Board had full oversight of ongoing discussions and negotiations 
with third parties in respect of potential business development transactions which could further 
strengthen the Company’s financial position. After the period end, the Company entered into 
a collaboration with AstraZeneca to develop and launch precision medicine strategies for 
cardiovascular, renal and metabolic diseases. The Board considered this transaction in the best 
interests of all stakeholders.

 ظ During FY20, the Board dedicated significant time and resources to achieving the offering and 
dual-listing on Nasdaq, which was completed after the end of the financial year. The Board 
concluded that pursuing the offering and dual-listing was in the best interests of all stakeholders 
as it enabled the Company to obtain additional capital to support its operations, to create a public 
market for American Depositary Shares representing the Company’s ordinary shares in the United 
States and to facilitate future access to the U.S. public equity markets.

20

Corporate Social Responsibility

Environment
The Directors consider that the nature of the Group’s activities is not inherently detrimental to the 
environment. The Group is committed to identifying and minimising any effect on the environment 
caused by its operations. As a minimum standard, we will fully comply with all relevant legislation and, 
wherever possible, look for opportunities to make a positive contribution to the environments in which 
we operate.

Employees
The Group places great value on the involvement of its employees and they are regularly briefed on the 
Group’s activities. The Group closely monitors staff attrition rates which it seeks to keep at low levels and 
aims to structure staff compensation levels at competitive rates in order to attract and retain high  
calibre personnel. 

Disabled Employees
Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the specific 
aptitudes of the applicant involved. It is the policy of the Group that the training, career development and 
promotion of disabled persons, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees.

Social, Community and Human Rights
The Board recognises that the Group has a duty to be a good corporate citizen and to respect and 
comply with laws, regulations, and where appropriate the customs and culture of the territories in which 
it operates. The Group encourages employees to take part in charitable activities which are related to our 
business areas or customers. It contributes as far as is practicable to the local communities in which it 
operates and takes a responsible and positive approach to employment practices.

Directors’ Report

The Directors present their annual report on the affairs of the Group, together with the consolidated 
financial statements and auditor’s report for the year ended 30 June 2020. The Corporate Governance 
Statement set out on pages 30 to 31 forms part of this report.

Corporate Details
Renalytix AI plc is a public limited company incorporated in the under the laws of England & Wales 
(Registration Number 11257655). The address of the registered office is Avon House, 19 Stanwell Road, 
Penarth, CF64 2EZ. The Company was incorporated on 15 March 2018.

Richard Evans (resigned on 16 July 2020)

Details of the Directors’ membership of committees is shown on pages 31 to 32.

The Company Secretary is Salim Hamir.

Principal Activities
The principal activity of the Group is the development of artificial intelligence-enabled clinical diagnostic 
solutions for kidney disease.

Post Balance Sheet Events
Post balance sheet events are discussed in the Strategic Report on page 9.

Going Concern
The Group and Company meet their day-to-day working capital requirements through the use of  
cash reserves.

The Directors have considered the applicability of the going concern basis in the preparation of the 
financial statements. This included the review of internal budgets and financial results which show, 
taking into account reasonably probable changes in financial performance, that the Group and 
Company should be able to operate within the level of its current funding arrangements.

25

We have not yet seen any material disruption to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic 
and current trading suggests that our base case forecasts are still applicable. However, at this stage, it 
is difficult to assess reliably whether there will be any material disruption in the future. In addition, the 
Directors have considered the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as laid out in the Strategic 
Report. We have modelled a number of scenarios covering reductions in revenue of 10% and 50%, without 
taking into account the potential benefits of any mitigation strategies such as potential cost savings or 
insurance claims. We have also modelled out 100% reductions in revenue with cost savings within our 
control. While the eventual severity and length of the economic disruption stemming from the pandemic 
is impossible to forecast these models give the Directors reasonable confidence that the business has 
sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months.

The Directors believe that the Group and the Company have adequate resources to continue in operation 
for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they have adopted the going concern basis in the preparation 
of the financial statements.

Future Developments and Research and Development Activities
Future developments and research and development activities are discussed in the Strategic Report on 
pages 4 to 21.

Results and Dividends
The Group recorded a loss for the year of $9.3 million (FY19: $6.9 million). When it is commercially prudent 
to do so and subject to the availability of distributable reserves, the Board may approve the payment of 
dividends. However, at present, the Directors consider that it is more prudent to retain cash to fund the 
development of the Group and, as a result, feel it is inappropriate to give an indication of the likely level 
or timing of any future dividend payment. The Directors do not recommend payment of a dividend in 
respect of FY20 (FY19: nil).

Financial Risk Management
Financial risk management is discussed in Note 4 of the financial statements.

Employee Policies
Employee policies are discussed in the Strategic Report on page 21.

Political Contributions and Charitable Contributions
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries made any political donations or incurred any political 
expenditure during the year ended 30 June 2020 (FY19: nil).

Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities in Respect of the Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in 
accordance with applicable law and regulation.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under 
that law the Directors have prepared the group financial statements in accordance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and parent company financial 
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the 
European Union. Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless 
they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and parent 
company and of the profit or loss of the Group and parent company for that period. In preparing the 
financial statements, the Directors are required to:

 ظ

 ظ

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

state whether applicable IFRSs as adopted by the European Union have been followed for the 
group financial statements and IFRSs as adopted by the European Union have been followed for 
the company financial statements, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in 
the financial statements;

 ظ make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

 ظ

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume 
that the group and parent company will continue in business.

The Directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and parent company and 
hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and 
explain the Group and parent company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time 
the financial position of the Group and parent company and enable them to ensure that the financial 
statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the parent company’s website. 
Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements 
may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The Directors consider that the annual report and accounts, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and 
understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group and parent 
company’s performance, business model and strategy.

Each of the Directors, whose names and functions are listed in the Report of the Directors confirm that, to 
the best of their knowledge:

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

the parent company financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as 
adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position 
and loss of the Company;

the Group financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted 
by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and 
profit of the Group; and

the Strategic Review includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business 
and the position of the Group and parent company, together with a description of the principal 
risks and uncertainties that it faces.

28

Directors’ Indemnities
The Company has entered into deeds of indemnity for the benefit of each Director of the Company in 
respect of liabilities to which they may become liable in their capacity as Director of the Company and 
of any Company in the Group [and entered into new deeds of indemnity with its Directors during the 
year in connection with the Nasdaq dual-listing]. Those indemnities are qualifying third party indemnity 
provisions for the purposes of section 234 of the Companies Act 2006 and have been in force during the 
whole of the financial period and up to the date of approval of the financial statements.

Independent Auditors
PKF Littlejohn LLP has expressed their willingness to continue in office as auditors and a resolution to 
reappoint them will be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Disclosure of Information to the Auditors
The Directors who hold office at the date of approval of this report confirm that so far as they are 
each aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company’s auditors are unaware, and 
each Director has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a Director in order to make 
themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s auditors are 
aware of that information.

Corporate Governance
The Company’s statement of corporate governance can be found in the Corporate Governance 
Statement on pages 30 to 33 of these financial statements. The Corporate Governance Statement forms 
part of this Report of the Directors and is incorporated into it by cross-reference.

Annual General Meeting
The resolutions to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting are set out in a separate 
notice sent to the shareholders.

Recommendation
The Board considers that the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting are in the best 
interests of the Company and it is unanimously recommended that shareholders support these proposals 
as the Board intends to do in respect of their own holdings.

This report was approved by the Board on [•] 2020 and signed on behalf of the Board by:

Corporate Governance Statement

Compliance

The Company recognises the value of good corporate governance in every part of its business. The 
Board has adopted the corporate governance principles of the 2018 Quoted Companies Governance 
Code (the “QCA Code”) and the Company has continued to comply with the QCA Code throughout the 
reporting period. The Board believes that this corporate governance framework is appropriate for the 
Company, having regard to its size and nature. Details of the QCA Code can be obtained from the Quoted 
Companies Alliance’s website (www.theqca.com). 

Details of how the Group seeks to address the principles underlying the QCA Code and how it leverages 
its principles to support the long-term success of the Group can be found on the Company’s website.

Board Composition and Responsibility
The Board currently comprises two Executive Directors and four Non-Executive Directors. Julian Baines 
was Non-Executive Chairman during FY20 until his resignation after the year end, on 16 July 2020. 
Christopher Mills has been appointed as Non-Executive Chairman. Richard Evans served as a Non-
Executive Director during FY20 until his resignation after the year end, on 16 July 2020.

It is the Board’s opinion that the four Non-Executive Directors, Julian Baines, Richard Evans, Chirag 
Parikh and Barbara Murphy, have been independent in character and judgement and that there are 
no relationships or circumstances which could materially affect or interfere with the exercise of their 
independent judgement during the course of FY20. Julian and Richard both have resigned since the end 
of FY20, on 16 July 2020.

All Directors are subject to election by Shareholders at the first Annual General Meeting after their 
appointment, and are subject to re-election at least every three years. Non-Executive Directors are 
appointed for a specific term of office which provides for their removal in certain circumstances, 
including under section 168 of the Companies Act 2006. The Board does not automatically re-nominate 
Non-Executive Directors for election by Shareholders. The terms of appointment of the Non-Executive 
Directors can be obtained by request to the Company Secretary.

The Board’s primary objective is to generate value for the Group by identifying and assessing business 
opportunities and ensuring that potential risks are identified, monitored and controlled. Matters 
reserved for Board decisions include strategic long-term objectives and the capital structure of major 
transactions. The implementation of Board decisions and day to day operations of the Group are 
delegated to senior management.

There is a division of responsibilities between the Non-Executive Chairman, who is responsible for the 
overall strategy of the Group and running the Board, and the Chief Executive Officer, who is responsible 
for implementing the strategy and day to day running of the Group. He is assisted by the Chief Technical 
Officer, who is a Board member, and Chief Financial Officer who is not a Board member.

During the year, the Board conducted an evaluation of the performance of the Board and that of the 
Chairman, as well as the effectiveness of the Board Committees. The Board intends to develop further 
its evaluation of the performance of the Board and Committees on an annual basis. The evaluation will 
include Board composition, experience, dynamics and the Board’s role and responsibilities for strategy, 
risk review and succession planning. The evaluations will involve a detailed questionnaire and individual 
discussions between the Non-Executive Chairman and the Directors. Being a small listed company, 
the Board considers it unnecessary to have evaluations facilitated by an external consultant. During the 
year, independent Directors, Barbara Murphy and Richard Evans conducted an evaluation of the Non-
Executive Chairman’s performance. The outcome has been discussed between the Directors.

Audit Committee
The Audit Committee comprised Richard Evans, who acted as chair, and Erik Lium. The Audit Committee, 
among other things, determines and examines matters relating to the financial affairs of the Company 
including the terms of the engagement of the Company’s auditors and, in consultation with the auditors, 
the scope of the audit. It receives and reviews the reports from management and the Company’s auditors 
relating to the half yearly and annual forward statements and the accounting and the internal control 
systems in use throughout the Company.

The committee has met formally twice during the year ended 30 June 2020. There have been no 
significant matters communicated to the Committee by the auditors and no interaction with the 
Financial Reporting Council.

Since the resignation of Richard Evans as a Director on 16 July 2020, the composition of the Audit 
Committee has changed to Erik Lium, acting as chair, Barbara Murphy and Christopher Mills.

Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee comprised Julian Baines, who acted as chair, and Christopher Mills. The 
Remuneration Committee reviews and makes recommendations in respect of the Executive Directors’ 
remuneration and benefits packages, including share options and the terms of their appointment. The 

31

Remuneration Committee also make recommendations to the Board concerning the allocation of share 
options to employees under the intended share option schemes.

The Committee has met twice during the year ended 30 June 2020.

Since the resignation of Julian Baines as Director on 16 July 2020, the composition of the Remuneration 
Committee has changed to Erik Lium, acting as chair, and Chirag Parikh.

Nomination Committee 
The Nomination Committee comprised Julian Baines, who acted as chair, and Christopher Mills. The 
Nomination Committee reviews and recommends nominees as new Directors to the Board. Since 16 July 
2020 the composition of the Nomination Committee comprises Barbara Murphy, who acts as chair, and 
Chirag Parikh.

Internal Control
The Directors are responsible for ensuring that the Group maintains a system of internal control to provide 
them with reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial information used within the business 
and for publication and that the assets are safeguarded. There are inherent limitations in any system of 
internal control and accordingly even the most effective system can provide only reasonable, but not 
absolute, assurance with respect to the preparation of financial reporting and the safeguarding of assets.

The Group, in administering its business, has put in place strict authorisation, approval and control levels 
within which senior management operates. These controls reflect the Group’s organisational structure 
and business objectives. The control system includes clear lines of accountability and covers all areas of 
the organisation. The Board operates procedures which include an appropriate control environment 
through the definition of the above organisation structure and authority levels and the identification of 
the major business risks.

Internal Financial Reporting
The Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining the Group’s system of internal reporting 
and as such have put in place a framework of controls to ensure that on-going financial performance is 
measured in a timely and correct manner and that risks are identified as early as is practicably possible. 
There is a comprehensive budgeting system and monthly management accounts are prepared which 
compare actual results against both the budget and the previous year. They are reviewed and approved 
by the Board and revised forecasts are prepared on a regular basis.

Relations with Shareholders
The Company reports to Shareholders twice a year. The Company dispatches the notice of its Annual 
General Meeting, together with a description of the items of special business, at least 21 clear days before 
the meeting. Each substantially separate issue is the subject of a separate resolution and all Shareholders 
have the opportunity to put questions to the Board at the Annual General Meeting.

The Chair(s) of the Audit and Remuneration Committees normally attend the Annual General Meeting 
and will answer questions which may be relevant to their work. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 
pandemic, the Committee Chairs will not be in attendance at this year’s Annual General Meeting. The 
Chairman advises the meeting of the details of proxy votes cast on each of the individual resolutions 
after they have been voted on in the meeting. The Chairman and the Non-Executive Directors intend to 
maintain a good and continuing understanding of the objectives and views of the Shareholders.

Corporate Social Responsibility
The Board recognises that the Group has a duty to be a good corporate citizen and is conscious that its 
business processes minimise harm to the environment, that it contributes as far as is practicable to the 
local communities in which it operates and takes a responsible and positive approach to employment 
practices. The Group is subject to the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and published the 
required statement on its website.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Opinion 
We have audited the financial statements of Renalytix AI plc (the ‘parent company’) and its subsidiaries 
(the ‘group’) for the year ended 30 June 2020 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, the 
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Parent Company Statements 
of Financial Position, the Consolidated and Parent Company Statements of Cash Flows, the Consolidated 
and Parent Company Statements of Changes in Equity and notes to the financial statements, including a 
summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in 
their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by 
the European Union and as regards the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance 
with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. 

In Our Opinion: 

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent 
company’s affairs as at 30 June 2020 and of the group’s and parent company’s loss for the period 
then ended; 

the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted 
by the European Union;

the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with 
IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the 
Companies Act 2006; and

the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 
Companies Act 2006. 

Basis for Opinion 
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) 
and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the 
group and parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of 
the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities, and 
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that 
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Conclusions Relating to Going Concern 
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us 
to report to you where: 

 ظ

 ظ

the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial 
statements is not appropriate; or 

the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties 
that may cast significant doubt about the group’s or the parent company’s ability to continue to 
adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date 
when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

36

Our Application of Materiality 
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. We set certain quantitative 
thresholds for materiality. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the 
scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures on the individual financial 
statements line items and disclosures and in evaluating the effect of misstatements, both individually 
and on the financial statements as a whole.

Group materiality was $410,000 (2019 $540,000) based upon gross assets and performance materiality 
was $246,000 (2019 $378,000). The benchmark of gross assets was selected as we consider this to be the 
most significant determinant of the Group’s performance for shareholders during the period of product 
development prior to commercialisation. Parent Company materiality was $260,000 (2019 $378,000) 
based upon gross assets and performance materiality was $156,600 (2019 $264,600) . The Parent 
Company holds the product trademarks and licenses and product development costs are capitalised in 
this company.

For each component in the scope of our group audit, we allocated a materiality that was less than our 
overall group materiality. Component materiality for significant and/or material subsidiary undertakings 
ranged from $246,000 to $240,000 (2019 $378,000 to $140,000).

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them all individual audit differences 
identified during the course of the audit in excess of $20,500 (2019 $27,000) for the Group and $13,000 
(2019 $18,900) for the Parent Company.

An Overview of the Scope of Our Audit 
In designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in 
the financial statements. In particular, we looked at areas involving significant accounting estimates 
and judgement by the Directors such as the recoverability of intangible fixed assets and eligibility of 
capitalised development costs, as outlined in the Key Audit Matter section below, and considered events 
that are inherently uncertain. We also addressed the risk of management override of controls, including 
among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of 
material misstatement due to fraud. All significant and/or material subsidiary undertakings were audited 
directly by PKF Littlejohn LLP.

Key Audit Matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed 
risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had 
the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing 
the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 
financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters.

37

Key Audit Matter

How the Scope of Our Audit Responded to the 
Key Audit Matter

Recoverability of intangible fixed assets and 
eligibility of capitalised development costs

Intangible assets comprise the following 
categories with a carrying value as at 30 June 
2020 of $17,118,000. Refer to note 18.

 ظ

Trademarks, trade names and licenses

 ظ Development costs

Intangible assets not yet subject to amortisation 
are tested annually for impairment via value 
in use calculations. Assets that are subject to 
amortisation are assessed for indicators of 
impairment.

Estimated recoverable amounts using value 
in use calculations are subjective due to the 
inherent uncertainty involved in forecasting and 
discounting future cash flows. Judgement is also 
required when estimating useful economic lives.

The eligibility for capitalisation of expenditure is 
assessed in accordance with the criteria in IAS 38 
Intangible Assets.

Given the judgements and estimates involved 
these were a key focus for our audit.

We confirmed the Group held good title to 
the trademarks, trade names and licenses. We 
assessed whether any indicators of impairment 
(including regulatory issues, progress on 
obtaining milestones towards commercialisation, 
development of competing technology and 
products entering the market) existed which 
required an impairment charge to be recognised 
in profit or loss. We reviewed the terms and 
obligations contained in the underlying 
contractual agreements.

We performed substantive testing of additions 
in both intangible asset categories to supporting 
documentation. We reperformed the 
amortisation calculations.

Our testing on the forecasts and value in use 
calculations included:

 ظ

 ظ

Evaluation and challenge of the key 
assumptions used by management;

The performance of a sensitivity analysis 
on the headroom to reasonably possible 
changes in key assumptions.

We tested and verified the eligibility for 
capitalisation of development costs in accordance 
with the criteria under IAS 38, in particular 
technical feasibility, the ability to commercialise 
the asset and the availability of technical and 
financial resources to complete development.

Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the 
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other 
information. Our opinion on the group and parent company financial statements does not cover the 
other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express 
any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our 
responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information 
is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or 
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent 
material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the 
financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have 
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required 
to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

38

Opinions on Other Matters Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

 ظ

 ظ

the information given in the strategic report and the directors’ report for the financial year for 
which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

the strategic report and the directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable 
legal requirements. 

Matters on Which We Are Required to Report by Exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and their 
environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the 
strategic report or the directors’ report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 
2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

 ظ

 ظ

adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for 
our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and 
returns; or 

 ظ

certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

 ظ we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

Responsibilities of Directors 
As explained more fully in the statement of directors’ responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the 
preparation of the group and parent company financial statements and for being satisfied that they give 
a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the 
preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. 

In preparing the group and parent company financial statements, the directors are responsible for 
assessing the group’s and the parent company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as 
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the 
directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no 
realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole 
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report 
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that 
an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the 
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the 
basis of these financial statements. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the 
Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms 
part of our auditor’s report. 

39

Use of Our Report
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 
16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the 
company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no 
other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to 
anyone, other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this 
report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2020

1. General Information and Basis of Presentation
Renalytix AI Plc (the “Company”) is a company incorporated in the United Kingdom. The Company is a 
public limited company, which is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. The address 
of the registered office is Avon House, 19 Stanwell Road, Penarth, Cardiff CF64 2EZ. The Company was 
incorporated on 15 March 2018 and its registered number is 11257655.

The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries (together “the Group”) is as a developer of 
artificial intelligence-enabled diagnostics for kidney disease.

The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (USD) because that is the currency of the 
primary economic environment in which the Group and Company operates.

2. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Renalytix AI plc have been prepared in accordance with 
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRSs), IFRS IC 
interpretations and the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The 
standards that have been adopted by the Group are those that are effective for financial years beginning 
on or after 1 January 2019. 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except 
for certain financial assets measured at fair value. They cover the year to 30 June 2020. The comparatives 
cover the period from the inception of the Company on 15 March 2018 to 30 June 2019.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical 
accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying 
the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas 
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed 
in note 6.

New Standards, Amendments, and Interpretations Adopted by the Group

The Group applied IFRS 16 “Leases” for the first time, which is effective for annual periods beginning 
on or after 1 January 2019. The Group has not early adopted any other standards, amendments or 
interpretations that have been issued but not yet effective. The nature and impact of the new standard is 
described below:

The Group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases using the fully retrospective approach. The leases in place in the 
prior year do not fall under the scope of IFRS 16. The new accounting policy is disclosed within the ‘Leases’ 
section of Note 2.

In applying IFRS 16 Leases for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients 
permitted by the standard:

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

Applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;

Relying on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as an alternative to performing

An impairment review – there were no onerous contracts as at 1 July 2019;

Accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 
2019 as short-term leases;

Excluding initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial 
application; and

47

 ظ Using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or 

terminate the lease.

 ظ Not reassessing whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, 
for contracts entered into before the transition date the group relied on its assessment made 
applying IAS 17 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

New standards, amendments, and interpretations issued but not effective for the period ended 30 
June 2020, and not early adopted

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020, and have not been applied in preparing these financial 
statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the 
Group or Parent Company.

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

Amendments to IFRS 3: Business Combinations

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material 

Amendments to IFRA 16: Leases – COVID-19 Concessions

3. Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

Going Concern
The Group and Company meet their day-to-day working capital requirements through the use of  
cash reserves.

The Directors have considered the applicability of the going concern basis in the preparation of these 
financial statements. This included the review of internal budgets and financial results which show, 
taking into account reasonably probable changes in financial performance, that the Group and Company 
should be able to operate within the level of its current funding arrangements.

We have not yet seen any material disruption to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic 
and current trading suggests that our base case forecasts are still applicable. However, at this stage, it 
is difficult to assess reliably whether there will be any material disruption in the future. In addition, the 
Directors have considered the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as laid out in the Strategic 
Report. We have modelled a number of scenarios covering reductions in revenue of 10% and 50%, without 
taking into account the potential benefits of any mitigation strategies such as potential cost savings or 
insurance claims. We have also modelled out 100% reductions in revenue with cost savings within our 
control. While the eventual severity and length of the economic disruption stemming from the pandemic 
is impossible to forecast these models give the Directors reasonable confidence that the business has 
sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months.

The Directors believe that the Group and the Company have adequate resources to continue in operation 
for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they have adopted the going concern basis in the preparation 
of the financial statements.

Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its 
subsidiary undertakings. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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 over the entity. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or 
convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

48

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are 
de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The 
consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the 
liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes 
the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration agreement. Acquisition 
related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities 
assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

On 23 October 2018 as part of a pre-admission re-organisation, the Company acquired the entire share 
capital of Renalytix AI, Inc., then a subsidiary of EKF Diagnostics Holdings LLC. Given common ownership 
of the Company and the subsidiary from incorporation up to the date of legal ownership, the transaction 
has been treated as a group reorganisation with no fair value adjustments to assets or liabilities. The 
subsidiary has been consolidated within the results of the Group from the date of incorporation.

Inter-Company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies 
are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been 
changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control over the financial 
and operating policies. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of 
accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition 
profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is 
recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted 
against the carrying amount of the investment.

Foreign Currency Translation

(a) Functional and Presentational Currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the 
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). 
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars, which is the Group’s 
presentational currency. The functional currency of the Parent Company is GB Pounds.

(b) Transactions and Balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates 
prevailing at the dates of the transactions where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and 
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange 
rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income 
statement within ‘administrative expenses’.

(c) Group Companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from 
the presentational currency are translated into the presentational currency as follows:

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date 
of that balance sheet;

income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates; and

all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign 
operations are taken to other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or 
sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognised in the income statement as part 
of the gain or loss on sale.

49

Segmental Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the 
chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating 
resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Executive 
Directors who make strategic decisions. At present the Directors consider the business to operate in a 
single segment.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any provision 
for impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the 
asset and bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Subsequent costs are included 
in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only where it is probable 
that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset 
can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and 
maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual 
values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Fixtures and fittings 20%

The assets’ residual values and useful economic lives are reviewed regularly, and adjusted if appropriate, 
at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying value is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying 
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on the disposal of assets are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying 
amount and are recognised in administration expenses in the income statement.

Intangible Assets

(a) Trademarks, Trade Names and Licences
Separately acquired trademarks and licences are shown at historical cost. Trademarks and licences acquired 
in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Trademarks and licences have 
a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using 
the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks and licences over the contractual licence period 
of 10 to 15 years and is charged to administrative expenses in the income statement.

(b)	Development	Costs	and	Trade	Secrets
Development costs have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. 

Expenditure incurred on the development of new or substantially improved products or processes is 
capitalised, provided that the related project satisfies the criteria for capitalisation, including the project’s 
technical feasibility and likely commercial benefit. All other research and development costs are expensed 
to profit or loss as incurred.

Development costs are amortised over the estimated useful life of the products with which they are 
associated. Amortisation commences when a new product is in commercial production. The amortisation 
is charged to administrative expenses in the income statement. The estimated remaining useful lives of 
development costs are reviewed at least on an annual basis.

The carrying value of capitalised development costs is reviewed for potential impairment at least annually 
and if a product becomes unviable and an impairment is identified the deferred development costs are 
immediately charged to the income statement. Amortisation has not yet commenced.

Trade secrets, including technical know-how, operating procedures, methods and processes, are 
recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Trade secrets have a finite useful life and are carried at 
cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation has not yet commenced.

50

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Assets that have an indefinite life or where amortisation has not yet commenced are tested annually for 
impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss 
is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing 
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax 
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific 
to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are 
separately identifiable cash flows. Impairment losses recognised for cash-generating units, to which 
goodwill has been allocated, are credited initially to the carrying amount of goodwill. Any remaining 
impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating 
unit) 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 loss 
been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in the prior period. A reversal of an impairment loss 
is recognised in the income statement immediately. If goodwill is impaired however, no reversal of the 
impairment is recognised in the financial statements.

Financial Assets 

Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables at amortised 
cost and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the purpose for 
which the financial assets were acquired and management determines the classification of its financial 
assets at initial recognition.

(a) Loans and Receivables
Financial assets are classified as at amortised cost only if both of the following criteria are met: the asset 
is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual 
terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Loans and receivables 
are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted on an 
active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after 
the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. The Company’s loans and receivables 
comprise ‘trade and other receivables’ and cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet.

(b)	Financial	Assets	at	Fair	Value	Through	Profit	or	Loss
The Group classifies the following financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL):

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

debt investments that do not qualify for measurement at either amortised cost or fair value 
through Other Comprehensive Income;

equity investments that are held for trading, and

equity investments for which the entity has not elected to recognise fair value gains and losses 
through Other Comprehensive Income.

(c) Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities that are 
not held for trading and which the Group has irrevocably elected at initial recognition to recognise in this 
category. The Group considers this category to be more relevant for assets of this type.

51

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short- term 
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term 
deposits as defined above.

Share Capital and Premium
Ordinary Shares are classified as equity. Proceeds in excess of the nominal value of shares issued are 
allocated to the share premium account and are also classified as equity. Incremental costs directly 
attributable to the issue of new Ordinary Shares or options are deducted from the share premium account.

Other Reserves - Equity
The share-based payment reserve is used to recognise the fair value of equity settled share-based 
payment transactions.

Foreign currency reserve is used to record the exchange differences on translation of entities in the Group 
which have a functional currency different to the presentation currency.

Retained earnings includes all current and prior period results as disclosed in the income statement.

Trade and Other Payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course 
of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within 
one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as 
non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Current and Deferred Income Tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the 
extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income where the associated tax is also 
recognised in other comprehensive income.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted 
at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiary operate and generate 
taxable income. Management evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which 
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the 
basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet 
date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting 
purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised in respect of all temporary differences except where the 
deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill in business combinations.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused 
tax assets and tax losses, to the extent that they are regarded as recoverable. They are regarded as 
recoverable where, on the basis of available evidence, there will be sufficient taxable profits against which 
the future reversal of the underlying temporary differences can be deducted.

The carrying value of the amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and 
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow 
all, or part, of the tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year 
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been 
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset 

52

current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities 
relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different 
taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Leases
As noted above, the Group has applied IFRS 16 using the fully retrospective approach. The leases in place 
in the prior year do not fall under the scope of IFRS 16, therefore the comparative information presented 
for 2019 has not been restated. As a result, the comparative information provided continues to be 
accounted for in accordance with the Group’s previous accounting policy.

Accounting	Policy	Applied	from	1	July	2019
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date on which the 
leased asset is available for use by the Group.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities 
include the net present value of the following lease payments:

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable 

variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or 
rate as at the commencement date

amounts expected to be payable by the group under residual value guarantees 

the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and 

payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising  
that option. 

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the 
measurement of the liability. 

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit within the lease. If that rate cannot be 
readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Group would 
have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a 
similar economic environment with similar terms, security, and conditions. 

Where the Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index 
or rate, amounts are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease 
payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the 
right-of-use asset.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the 
income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the 
remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

 ظ

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received

any initial direct costs

restoration costs

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term 
on straight line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use 
asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

53

Accounting	Policy	Applied	Prior	to	1	July	2019
Until 30 June 2019, Leases which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset 
were treated as a finance lease. Assets held under finance leases were capitalised at their fair value at the 
inception of the lease and depreciated over the estimated useful economic life of the asset or lease term if 
shorter. The finance charges were allocated to the income statement in proportion to the capital amount 
outstanding. All other leases were classified as operating leases. Operating lease rentals were charged to 
the income statement in equal annual amounts over the lease term.

Employee	Benefits

(a) Pension Obligations
The Group makes contributions to defined contribution pension plans. A defined contribution plan is 
a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity with the pension 
cost charged to the income statement as incurred. The Group has no further obligations once the 
contributions have been paid.

(b) Share-Based Compensation
The Group operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan, under which the Group receives 
services from employees and others as consideration for equity instruments of the Group. Equity-settled 
share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant and are expensed over the vesting 
period based on the number of instruments that are expected to vest. For plans where vesting conditions 
are based on share price targets, the fair value at the date of grant reflects these conditions. Where 
applicable the Group recognises the impact of revisions to original estimates in the income statement, 
with a corresponding adjustment to equity for equity-settled schemes. Fair values are measured using 
appropriate valuation models, taking into account the terms and conditions of the awards.

When the share-based payment awards are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds 
received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and 
share premium.

National Insurance on Share Options
To the extent that the share price at the balance sheet date is greater than the exercise price on options 
granted to UK citizens under unapproved share-based payment compensation schemes, provision for 
any National Insurance Contributions has been based on the prevailing rate of National Insurance. The 
provision is accrued over the performance period attaching to the award.

Interest Income
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective 
interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through 
the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

Exceptional Items
These are items of an unusual or non-recurring nature incurred by the Group and include transactional 
costs and one-off items relating to business combinations, such as acquisition expenses.

Assets	Classified	as	Held	for	Sale
Assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a 
sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They 
are measured at the lower of their carrying value and fair value less costs to sell. An impairment loss is 
recognised for any subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell.

54

4. Financial Risk Management

Financial Risk Factors
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Company’s Board monitors and 
manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company.

(a) Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily with respect to 
the US Dollar and the Pounds Sterling. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions 
and recognised assets and liabilities.

(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk relates mainly to cash at bank. The Company only deposits cash with major banks with high 
quality credit standing and limits exposure to any one counterparty.

(c) Liquidity Risk
The Company’s continued future operations depend on its ability to raise sufficient working capital 
through the issue of share capital and generate revenue.

5. Capital Risk Management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while 
maximising the return to stakeholders. The Company’s capital structure primarily consists of equity 
attributable to the owners, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained losses.

6. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Company makes estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgments are 
continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future 
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual results may differ 
from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of 
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial 
year relate to:

 ظ

 ظ

Capitalisation and recoverability of intangible assets (note 18);

Share based payments (note 25).

7. Segmental Reporting
The Group operates as a single segment. The Group is in its initial commercial launch phase and therefore 
has not yet commenced revenue generation as of the end of FY20.

The Finance Act 2015 which was substantively enacted in 2015 included legislation to reduce the main rate 
of UK corporation tax to 19% from 1 April 2017 and the Finance Act 2016 which was substantively enacted 
in 2016 included legislation to reduce the main rate of UK corporation tax to 17% from 1 April 2020. On 18 
November 2019, the government pledged to put the planned corporation tax reduction from 19% to 17% 
on hold. This was substantively enacted on March 17 2020.

The tax on the Group’s loss before tax differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the 
standard tax rate applicable to the losses of the consolidated entities as follows:

Deferred tax assets are recognised based on subsidiary net losses based on the US corporate tax rate 
of 21%. Net losses can be carried forward indefinitely to offset future taxable profits. No deferred asset is 
calculated on losses in the UK totalling $1,794,000 where the probability of future utilisation is considered 
too remote.

The Company was incorporated on 15 March 2018 with 50,000 ordinary shares of £1.00 each, and as 
a result of subdivisions (100:1 on 4 May 2018 and then 4:1 on 24 October 2018), the resulting founding 
shares became 20,000,000 at £0.0025 each. 

The Company has one category of dilutive potential ordinary share, being share options (see note 25). 
The potential shares were not dilutive in the period as the Group made a loss per share. 

16. Dividends
No dividends to shareholders of the holding company were provided or paid during the period to  
30 June 2020. The Board’s policy is to enhance shareholder value mainly through the growth of the  
Group, which is currently in the early stages of its development. The Board will however consider the 
payment of dividends if and when appropriate.

Amortisation expense of $1,108,000 has been charged to administration costs.

Licences entail agreements with Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai for rights to intellectual property 
and data to support the KidneyIntelX and FractalDx families of diagnostic assays. Trade secrets refer to the 
Company’s acquisition of the biomarker business from EKF, which includes intellectual property licensed 
from Joslin Diabetes Centre and forms a key component of the KidneyIntelX product. Development costs 
include proprietary software development and diagnostic assay design for KidneyIntelX.

Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes 
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is 
recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing 
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax 
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific 
to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

The Group has tested the carrying value for impairment at the balance sheet date. The recoverable 
amount was assessed on the basis of value in use. The assessed value exceeded the carrying value and 
no impairment loss was recognised. The key assumptions in the calculation to assess value in use are 
future revenues and costs and the ability to generate future cash flows. Recent working capital projections 
approved by the Board were used as well as forecasts for a further four years, followed by an extrapolation 
of expected cash flows and the calculation of a terminal value. For prudence the expected growth rate 
used for longer term growth was zero. The projected results were discounted at a rate which is a prudent 
evaluation of the pre-tax rate which reflects current market assessments of the value of money and the 
risks specific to the business, reflecting an assessment of the risk-adjusted weighted average cost of 
capital of 10%. The headroom in the value in use calculation is not sensitive to changes in key assumptions.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are 
separately identifiable cash flows. Any impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash 
generating unit.

The remaining average useful lives of the intangible assets is as follows:

(C) Credit Quality of Financial Assets

The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities and from its financing activities, 
including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other 
financial instruments.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk, due to the failure of counterparties to perform their 
obligations as at 30 June 2020, in relation to each class of recognised financial assets, is the carrying 
amount of those assets as indicated in the accompanying balance sheets.

Trade Receivables
The credit quality of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have been assessed based 
on historical information about the counterparty default rate. 

Cash at Bank
The credit quality of cash has been assessed by reference to external credit ratings, based on reputable 
credit agencies’ long-term issuer ratings:

26. Share Premium Account
On May 15, 2020, our shareholders approved at a general meeting the reduction of our share capital by 
the cancellation of our share premium account in its entirety in order to create realized profits, which was 
confirmed by the High Court in England and Wales on June 9, 2020. This was necessary to increase our 
distributable reserves to allow us to implement the distribution in specie for the FractalDx spin-off, whose 
distribution was declared by our board of directors on July 7, 2020 and distributed on July 10, 2020.

27. Share Options and Share-Based Payments
On 23 October 2018 shareholders approved a share option scheme for certain senior employees and 
consultants. Options are exercisable at a price equal to the price at which the Company’s Initial Public 
Offering took place. With the exception of options over 80,724 shares, which vested immediately 
on grant, the options vest equally over twelve quarters commencing from the grant date. If options 
remain unexercised after the date one day before the tenth anniversary of grant, the options expire. 
Employees have a six month service requirement after the date of grant before options are exercisable. 
On termination of employment, options are forfeited either immediately or after a delayed expiry period, 
depending on the circumstances of termination.

Details	of	the	share	options	outstanding	during	the	period	are	as	follows:

The fair value of each share option granted has been estimated using a Black-Scholes model and is 
£0.70 - £1.85 ($0.97 - $2.38). The inputs into the model are a weighted average share price of £1.63 ($2.08), 
exercise price of £2.41 ($3.10), expected volatility of 63.7%, no expected dividend yield, weighted-average 
term of 5.74 years and weighted-average risk free interest rate of 1.7%. As of 30 June 2020 none of the 
granted stock options have been exercised.

The aggregate fair value of the award is $3,866,121. The Group recognised total expenses of $1,696,338 
($644,739 within R&D expense and $1,051,599 within G&A expense) relating to equity-settled share-based 
payment transactions during the period to 30 June 2020. The weighted average remaining contractual 
term of the options is 8.6 years.

The Group has applied IFRS 16 "Leases" for the first time. 

Right-of-use assets have been measured at the amount equal to the lease liability.

Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental 
borrowing rate.

The total cash outflow for leases in the year to 30 June 2020 was $61,826 for the Group and $Nil for the Company.

(iii) The Group’s Leasing Activities and How These Are Accounted For

The	group	leases	various	offices.	Rental	contracts	for	offices	are	made	for	fixed	periods	of	between	1	
and	5	years,	but	may	have	extension	options	as	described	below.

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability 
extension options as described below.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is 
generally the case for leases in the group, the lessee’s incremental cash rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would 
forego to release the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment 
with similar terms, security and conditions.

29. Notes Receivable

Company
In May 2020, the Group’s FractalDX related business was sold to Verici DX Limited (see Note XX) for 
consideration totalling $2m which took the form of secured convertible debt (“the Notes”).

The Notes are for a maximum of $3m to allow for the inclusion of any additional charges.They are secured 
by a debenture over Verici’s assets.

The Notes are interest free and will be redeemed, so far as not converted, on completion by Verici of a 
fund raising; 12 months from the date of issue; or following a material breach.

Alternatively the Notes may be converted into ordinary shares in Verici at the Company’s option, subject 
to certain conditions, at the equivalent price to that paid by investors on a fund raising, or at the price 
used for any Distribution in Specie to the Company’s shareholders.

As at 30 June 2020 the total value of Notes outstanding was $2.106m

The Directors are of the opinion that the replacement values of inventories are not materially different to  
the carrying values stated above. The carrying values above are stated net of impairment provisions of $Nil  
(30 June 2019: $Nil).

The cost of inventories recognised as expense and included in ‘cost of sales’ amounted to $Nil  
(Year to 30 June 2019: $Nil).

The Company held no inventories at 30 June 2020 or 30 June 2019.

31. Borrowings

Paycheck Protection Program
On April 29, 2020, the Company, entered into an original loan agreement with Fortis Private Bank as the 
lender (“Lender”) for a loan in an aggregate principal amount of $0.255 million (the “Loan”) pursuant to 
the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security 
(CARES) Act and implemented by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Loan matures in two years 
and bears interest at a rate of 1% per year, with all payments deferred through the six-month anniversary 
of the date of the Loan. Principal and interest are payable monthly commencing on October 29, 2020 
and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty. The Company may 
apply for forgiveness of amounts due under the Loan, with the amount of potential loan forgiveness to be 
calculated in accordance with the requirements of the PPP based on payroll costs, any mortgage interest 
payments, any covered rent payments and any covered utilities payments during the 8-24 week period 
after the origination date of the Loan. The Company utilised the proceeds of the Loan for payroll and 
other qualifying expenses, but there can be no assurances that any portion of the Loan will be forgiven. 
The balance on the PPP loan was $0.255 million as of June 30, 2020 and has been classified as a current and 
non-current liability in notes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2020.

32. Related Party Transactions
In October 2018, the Company purchased a worldwide exclusive license agreement with Joslin, that was 
previously entered into with EKF in July 2017, in exchange for the issuance of 15,427,704 of the Company’s 
ordinary shares.

EKF provided short-term loans to the Company in the form of notes payable. During the period from 
March 15, 2018 (inception) through June 30, 2018 and for the year ended June 30, 2019, the Company 
borrowed $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The notes bore interest at an annual rate of 5% 
and the Company recognised $5,000 and $16,000 of interest expense during the period from March 15, 
2018 (inception) through June 30, 2018 and for the year ended June 30, 2019. All outstanding principal 
and accrued interest of $1.0 million and $21,000, respectively, was repaid in November 2018 upon 
consummation of the Company’s IPO.

In May 2018, the Company secured its cornerstone license agreement with Mount Sinai ("ISMMS") 
for research and clinical study work and intended commercialisation by the Company as discussed 
previously. As part of the collaboration, ISMMS became a shareholder in the Company and has 
subsequently made equity investments both in the Company’s IPO in November 2018 and the 
subsequent sale of ordinary shares in July 2019. Additionally, in December 2018, the Company executed its 
option with ISMMS for the FractalDx license, which grants rights to technology and patents relating to a 
series of potential diagnostics and prognostics in the field of kidney transplant and rejection.

Prior to the Company’s IPO on AIM in November 2018, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and 
Chief Financial Officer provided their respective services through a consulting agreement between 
the Company and Renwick Capital, LLC. During the year ended June 20, 2019, the Company incurred 
consulting services of $0.2 million. Upon consummation of the Company’s IPO, the Chief Executive 
Officer and Chief Financial Officer became employee of the Company and the consulting agreement 
with Renwick Capital, LLC as terminated.

In connection with the formation of Kantaro, the Company entered into a five-year Advisory Services 
Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide certain 
advisory services to Kantaro.

Pursuant to the Kantaro Operating Agreement, Kantaro issued 750 Class A Units to Mount Sinai in 
exchange for Mount Sinai granting licenses to Kantaro under certain intellectual property rights of Mount 
Sinai and 250 Class A Units to the Company as the sole consideration for the services to be rendered by 
the Company under the Advisory Agreement. A portion of the Company’s units are subject to forfeiture 
if, prior to December 31, 2020, Kantaro terminates the Advisory Agreement as a result of an uncured 
material breach of the Advisory Agreement or in the event the Company is acquired by a hospital or 
health system that serves all or any portion of the service areas served by Mount Sinai. The Company 

72

determined the fair value of the services to be provided under the Advisory Agreement was $2.0 million 
and the fair value of the Class A units received from Kantaro was $1.9 million. A loss of $0.1 million was 
recognized within equity in losses of affiliate in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations 
and comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2020, the total liability associated with the services was $1.9 million 
of which $0.3 million is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $1.6 million is 
within other liabilities.

In addition to the equity granted at formation, the Company and Mount Sinai each committed to making 
a loan to Kantaro. Mount Sinai committed to lend an initial amount of $0.3 million and an additional $0.5 
million thereafter. The Company committed to lend an initial amount of $83,333 and an additional $0.2 
million thereafter. Each loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to 0.25%, compounded monthly, 
until repaid, and is repayable from the first amounts that would otherwise constitute cash available for 
distribution to the members of Kantaro (provided that each loan repayment will be made, 75% to Mount 
Sinai and 25% to the Company). The Company loaned Kantaro $83,333 and had a note receivable for this 
amount at June 30, 2020. In addition, the Company recognized losses of $50,000 on their investment in 
Kantaro during the year ended June 30, 2020.

In June 2020, we and Mount Sinai entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which we 
have granted Mount Sinai the following registration rights:

 ظ Demand Registration on Form F-3 – Mount Sinai is entitled to demand registrations on Form F-3, 
if we are then eligible to register shares on Form F-3, including up to two underwritten offerings in 
any 12-month period.

 ظ Demand Registration on Form F-1 or Form S-1 – At any time following one year after the 

completion of the global offering, if we are not eligible to register shares on Form F-3 or S-3, Mount 
Sinai is entitled to a maximum of one demand registration on Form F-1 or Form S-1 during any 
12-month period, subject to specified exceptions.

 ظ

 ظ

Piggyback Registration – Mount Sinai is entitled to certain piggyback registration rights, subject to 
certain marketing and other limitations in the context of an underwritten offering.

Expenses – We will pay all registration expenses incident to the performance of our obligations 
under the registration rights agreement.

 ظ Mount Sinai’s registration rights will terminate at such time as Rule 144, or another similar exception 
under the Securities Act, is available for the unlimited public sale of all of Mount Sinai’s registrable 
securities without any volume or manner of sale limitations, subject to specified exceptions.

33. Contingent Liabilities

34. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through to the date at 
which the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and determined there are no 
other items requiring disclosure beyond those disclosed below.

In July 2020, the Company closed an initial public offering (IPO) on Nasdaq Global Market, in which they 
issued and sold 12,583,500 ordinary shares which converted into 6,291,740 American depository shares 
at a public offering price of $13.50 per share. In addition, the Company completed a concurrent private 
placement in Europe and other countries outside of the United States of 30,000 ordinary shares at a price 
of £5.37 per ordinary share (at an exchange rate of GBP:USD 1:1.2563). The Company received net proceeds 
of $76.1 million as a result of the offering.

In July 2020 the Company’s Board of Directors convened and declared a distribution in specie of shares 
in Verici to trustees on trust for the Company’s shareholders. As a result, Verici’s share capital has been re-
designated into 59,416,134 A Shares of £0.001 each and 1 golden share of £0.001 (the “Golden Share”). The 
Golden Share will be the only voting share in the capital of Verici and will be retained by the Company. 
The Company’s shareholders on the register as at close of business on July 9, 2020 will receive one A Share 
in Verici for every 1 ordinary share held in the Company. The value of each Verici A share at the time of 
distribution was $0.015 per share.

We have entered into deeds of indemnity with our directors and we expect to enter into a new deed of 
indemnity with each of our directors and executive officers in connection with the listing of our ADSs on 
Nasdaq. The deeds of indemnity and our articles of association require us to indemnify our directors and 
executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.

35. Ultimate Controlling Party
The Directors believe there to be no ultimate controlling party.

36. Assets and Liabilities of Disposal Group Classified as Held for Sale

of Verici Dx Limited in order to secure separate financial and management resources for the FractalDx 
portfolio with the goal of enabling accelerated development.

Change in Volatility Assumption
The company has restated its previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended 
30 June 2019 to adjust for a change in accounting estimates relating to its share-based compensation. 
Most significantly, the Company has revised the volatility rate used in the estimate of the fair value of 
each share option award which has resulted in an increase in the fair value estimate and therefore a 
higher share-based compensation expense in the period. The fair value of the awards is estimated using 
a Black-Scholes model. Previously the volatility assumption was estimated using the average volatility 
rate of Renalytix AI PLC’s (RENX) share price. Following discussions with its professional advisers, the 
Company has now determined that due to the limited trading history of RENX stock it would be more 
accurate to estimate volatility using the average historical volatility rate of eight peer companies. As a 
result, the volatility rate used has been increased to 63.7% from the previously used rate of 23.0%. The 
period to 30 June 2019 has been restated to show the impact of the increased volatility rate. The Company 
believes that the updated volatility rate is more appropriate as it takes into consideration a wider range of 
historical data. The revision resulted in an increase in Administrative Expenses in the Consolidated Income 
Statement and of the Share-based payment reserve in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position 
of $605,000.

Reallocation of Stock Based Compensation
The company has restated its previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended 
30 June 2019 to reallocate a portion of the stock based compensation expense from RenalytixAI PLC 
to RenalytixAI Inc. In 2019 the entire stock based compensation expense was booked on RenalytixAI 
PLC's books. Stock based compensation should be booked on the entity that the individual employee 
works for therefore an adjustment was made in the current year to properly allocate the portion of stock 
based compensation attributable to Renalytix AI Inc. employees. The revision resulted in a decrease in 
Stock Based Compensation in the Renalytix AI PLC Income Statement and an increase in Investment in 
Renalytix AI Inc. in the Renalytix AI PLC Statement of Financial Position of $343,390. The revision resulted 
in an increase in Stock Based Compensation in the Renalytix AI Inc. Income Statement and an Increase in 
other reserves of $793,691. The restatement has no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(a) As mentioned above an entry was made to correctly allocate the Share Based compensation expense between RenalytixAI PLC and RenalytixAI Inc. 
Since all expenses were booked on PLC in prior year the entry removed Share Based compensation expense from PLC's books thus decreasing the loss 
for the period. 
(b) Entry was made to increase Stock Based Compensation by $604,803, increased share based payments for the period. Note all share based 
payments are made out of the Company on behalf of the group. Actual expenses are booked on the respective entity's books.

The restatement had no impact on the Group or Company statement of Cash Flows.

38. Equity Method Investments
In May 2020, the Group and Mount Sinai entered into the Kantaro Operating Agreement in order to form 
Kantaro Biosciences LLC ("Kantaro") for the purpose of developing and commercializing laboratory tests 
for the detection of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 originally developed by Mount Sinai. In connection 
with the formation of Kantaro, the Group entered into the Advisory Agreement, pursuant to which the 
Group has agreed to provide certain advisory services to Kantaro.

Pursuant to the Kantaro Operating Agreement, Kantaro issued 750 Class A Units to Mount Sinai in 
exchange for Mount Sinai granting licenses to Kantaro under certain intellectual property rights of Mount 
Sinai and 250 Class A Units to the Group in respect of the services to be rendered by the Group under the 
Advisory Agreement. A portion of the units are subject to forfeiture if, prior to December 31, 2020, Kantaro 
terminates the Advisory Agreement as a result of the uncured material breach of the Advisory Agreement 
or in the event we are acquired by a hospital or health system that serves all or any portion of the service 
areas served by Mount Sinai. The Group account for the investment in Kantaro using the equity method 
of accounting as the Group can exert significant influence over, but do not control, Kantaro.

In addition to the equity granted at formation, the Group and Mount Sinai each committed to making 
a loan to Kantaro. Mount Sinai committed to lend an initial amount of $250,000 and an additional 
$500,000 thereafter. The Group committed to lend an initial amount of $83,333 and an additional 
$166,667 thereafter. Each loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to 0.25%, compounded monthly, 
until repaid, and is repayable from the first amounts that would otherwise constitute cash available for 
distribution to the members of Kantaro (provided that each loan repayment will be made, 75% to Mount 
Sinai and 25% to us). All services provided by the Group under the Advisory Agreement are subject to the 
oversight and direction of the board of managers of Kantaro.

(A) Interest in associates and joint ventures
Set out below are the associates and joint ventures of the Group as of 30 June 2020 which, in the opinion 
of the directors, are material to the Group. The entities listed below have share capital consisting solely of

Reconciliation of IFRS to US GAAP (Unaudited)
Since Renalytix initial listing on Nasdaq, the Company has followed accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America ('US GAAP'), both for internal as well as external purposes.

Renalytix Form 20-F, which is based on US GAAP, contains differences from its Annual Repor,t which 
is based on IFRS. The Form 20-F and Annual Report are available on the Company's website (www.
renalytixai.com). In order to help readers to understand the difference between the Group’s two sets of 
financial statements, Renalytix has provided, on a voluntary basis, a reconciliation from IFRS to U.S. GAAP 
as follows:

(a)	Development	Expenditures
Under IFRS, the acquisition of licenses and subsequent development efforts are capitalized and 
presented as intangible assets. Under U.S. GAAP, such costs are expensed as incurred until technological 
feasibility has been achieved or the assets are deemed to have future alternative use.

(b)	Deferred	Tax	Assets
Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax 
benefit will not be realized based on available evidence. Under U.S. GAAP, a full valuation allowance has 
been applied. Under IFRS, a partial valuation allowance has been applied.

(c) Stock Compensation Expense
In addition, stock based compensation is recognized on a straight line basis under U.S. GAAP and a 
graded vesting basis under IFRS.

(d) Other Adjustments
During the year ended June 30, 2019, the value of the ordinary shares issued in connection with the 
acquisition of the Joslin license was determined based on the estimated value of the license under 
IFRS. Under U.S. GAAP, the value of the ordinary shares was determined based upon the initial public 
offering price of the Company's ordinary shares. This resulted in a difference of roughly $17.6 million. The 
remaining difference of $0.1 million represents other immaterial audit adjustments. During the year 
ended June 30, 2020 the differences were related to immaterial audit adjustments.
