Liquidity
The
Company has historically funded its operations primarily by debt and equity financings prior to the merger with Malo Holdings and subsequently
funded its operations through cash proceeds obtained as part of the listing on the OTC market and the listing on Nasdaq. As of March
31, 2023, the Company’s existing sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and as amended by Accounting Standards Updated (“ASUs”) of the FASB. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Augmedix, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Augmedix Operating Corporation, Augmedix Bangladesh Limited and Augmedix Solutions Private Limited. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2023 and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and stockholders’ (deficit) equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, presented herein, do not contain the required disclosures under GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 17, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates and judgments involve the average period of benefit associated with costs capitalized to obtain a revenue contract, incremental borrowing rate, and stock-based compensation, including the underlying fair value of the Company’s common stock for grants issued when the Company was a private company. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment.

Foreign Currency Transactions, Translations and Foreign Operations
The functional currency of the Bangladesh and India subsidiaries are the Bangladeshi Taka and Indian Rupee, respectively. All assets and liabilities denominated in each entity’s functional currency are translated into the United States Dollar using the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet dates. Expenses are translated using the weighted average exchange rate for the reporting period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded within the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and as a separate component of stockholders’ (deficit) equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded within other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Transaction gains and losses were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Operations outside the United States are subject to risks inherent in operating under different legal systems and various political and economic environments. Among the risks are changes in existing tax laws, possible limitations on foreign investment and income repatriation, government price or foreign exchange controls, and restrictions on currency exchange.
All of the Company’s revenue is generated in the United States and denominated in U.S. dollars.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers
Financial instruments at March 31, 2023 and 2022 that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The Company’s cash is deposited with major financial institutions in the U.S., Bangladesh and India. At times, deposits in financial institutions located in the U.S. may be in excess of the amount of insurance provided on such deposits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Cash deposits at foreign financial institutions are not insured by government agencies of Bangladesh and India. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits.
The
Company’s accounts receivable are derived from revenue from customers located in the U.S. Major customers are defined as those
generating revenue in excess of
Two
customers account for
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents amounts held on deposit at a commercial bank used to secure the Company’s credit card facility balances, to collateralize a letter of credit in the name of the Company’s landlord pursuant to a certain operating lease and for a post-employment savings fund established for the benefit of eligible Bangladesh employees. The following table provides a reconciliation of the components of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total of the amount presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
| March 31, | ||||||||
| (in thousands) | 2023 | 2022 | ||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | $ | ||||||
| Restricted cash | ||||||||
| Restricted cash – noncurrent | ||||||||
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows | $ | $ | ||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets, less costs to sell. The Company did not record any expense related to asset impairment in the three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.

Revenue Recognition
ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principle, involving a five-step process, of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company derives its revenue through a stand-ready recurring subscription model. The Company enters into contracts or agreements with its customers with a general initial term of one year. Customers are invoiced in advance and generally pay an upfront implementation fee. The upfront implementation fee is deferred and recognized over the period the customer benefits and customer prepayments are deferred and included in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets in deferred revenues. Revenues are recognized over time as the professional services are provided to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The customer receives the benefit of our stand-ready scribing services as we perform them.
As permitted under the practical expedient available under ASU 2014-09, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations or to a wholly unsatisfied promised accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue for the amount at which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.
The Company’s revenues are earned from customers located only in the U.S. After the initial term, contracts are cancellable by the customer at their discretion typically with a 90 day notice.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; | |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; | |
| ● | Determination of the transaction price; | |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
| ● | Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
Except for two U.S. state sales tax jurisdictions, applicable taxes, including local, sales, value added tax, etc., are the responsibility of the customer to self-assess and remit to proper tax authorities. Revenue is recognized net of any sales taxes.
Costs Capitalized to Obtain Revenue Contracts
Sales commissions earned by the Company’s sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions for new revenue contracts are capitalized and then amortized on a systematic basis over an estimated period of benefit that the Company determined to be between the range of 12 to 24 months. The period of benefit was determined by taking into consideration the Company’s customer contracts, technology, customer life, and other relevant factors. The Company periodically evaluates whether there have been any changes in its business, market conditions, or other events which would indicate that its amortization period should be changed, or if there are potential indicators of impairment. The current portion of capitalized sales commissions are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and the non-current portion is included in deposits and other assets on the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense is included in sales and marketing expenses on the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Contract Balances
Deferred revenue represents an obligation to render services for which the Company has received consideration, or for which an amount of consideration is due from the customer and the Company has an unconditional right to payment under a non-cancellable contract.
Changes in the deferred revenue account were as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock options awarded to employees and nonemployees based on the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date. The fair value of each option award is estimated using either a Black-Scholes option-pricing model or a Monte Carlo simulation, to the extent market conditions exist. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.
Estimating the fair market value of options requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected life of the options, stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate, expected dividends, and the probability of satisfying the market condition for market-condition based awards. The assumptions used in the valuation models represent management’s best estimates and involve a number of variables, uncertainties and assumptions and the application of management’s judgment, as they are inherently subjective.
Advertising Costs
All
advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses. Advertising expenses incurred by the Company
were $
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as options and warrants which would result in the issuance of incremental common stock. In computing basic and diluted net loss per share, the weighted average number of shares is the same for both calculations due to the fact that a net loss existed for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive:
| March
31, 2023 | March

| Common stock warrants | ||||||||
| Stock options | ||||||||
| Restricted stock units | ||||||||
Correction of Immaterial Error Related to Prior Periods
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company identified an error related to its accounting for sales commissions whereby the Company should have amortized sales commissions for new revenue contracts over the estimated period of benefit which is between the range of 12 to 24 months.
For the three months
ended March 31, 2022, sales and marketing expenses were understated by $

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2023, and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The goal of the standard is to simplify the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. More specifically, the amendments focus on the guidance for convertible instruments and derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

No income tax benefits have been recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for stock-based compensation arrangements and no stock-based compensation costs have been capitalized as property and equipment through March 31, 2023.
The fair value of options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account inputs such as the exercise price, the value of the underlying ordinary shares at the grant date, expected term, expected volatility, risk free interest rate and dividend yield. The fair value of each grant of options during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was determined using the methods and assumptions discussed below.
| ● | The expected term of employee options is determined using the “simplified” method, as prescribed in SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, whereby the expected life equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option due to the Company’s lack of sufficient historical data. |
| ● | The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the publicly traded common stock of a peer group of companies. |
| ● | The risk-free interest rate is based on the interest rate payable on U.S. Treasury securities in effect at the time of grant for a period that is commensurate with the assumed expected term. |
| ● | The expected dividend yield is because the Company has not historically paid and does not expect for the foreseeable future to pay a dividend on its ordinary shares. |

In the normal course of business, the Company may receive inquiries or become involved in legal disputes regarding various litigation matters. In the opinion of management, any potential liabilities resulting from such claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or, results of operations or cash flows. As a result, no liability related to such claims has been recorded at March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
Indemnification Agreements
From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company may indemnify other parties when it enters into contractual relationships, including members of the Company’s board of directors, employees, customers, lessors and parties to other transactions with the Company. The Company may agree to hold other parties harmless against specific losses, such as those that could arise from a breach of representation, covenant or third-party infringement claims. It may not be possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under such indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Management believes any liability arising from these agreements will not be material to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, no liability for these agreements has been recorded at March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, as well as other sections in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, should be read together with the unaudited interim condensed financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2023.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements relate to, among others, our plans, objectives and expectations for our business, operations and financial performance and condition, and can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “will,” “could,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “continue” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s belief and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
| ● | anticipated trends, growth rates, and challenges in our business and in the markets in which we operate; |
| ● | our ability to further penetrate our existing customer base; |
| ● | our estimates regarding future revenues, capital requirements, general and administrative expenses, sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, and our need for or ability to obtain additional financing to fund our operations; |
| ● | our ability to interoperate with the EHR systems of our customers; |
| ● | our ability to attract and retain key personnel; |
| ● | developments and projections relating to our competitors and our industry, including competing dictation software providers, non-real time medical note generators, and real time medical note documentation services; |
| ● | the competition to attract and retain MDSs; |
| ● | our reliance on Vendors (as defined below); |
| ● | our expectations regarding changes in regulatory requirements; |
| ● | our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property protection and the scope and duration of such protection; |
| ● | the impact of current and future laws and regulations; and |
| ● | the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and future growth prospects. |
20
We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, operating results, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.
You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference herein with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.
Overview
Augmedix, Inc. was incorporated in 2013 and launched its commercial synchronous, remote, ambient documentation services in 2014. Clinicians access our applications predominantly through mobile devices such as smartphones with approximately 5% on Google Glass. Once accessed, the client application provides clinicians with a secure communication channel to our Notebuilder Platform which contains our note creation software that is utilized by our Medical Documentation Specialists (“MDSs”). Our note creation software includes proprietary natural language processing (“NLP”) models, large language models (“LLMs”) and structured data models to generate the note, with assistance from the MDS. Completed notes are uploaded via integration or manually into the patient’s chart in the electronic health record (“EHR”) system. The EHR system (e.g. Epic, Cerner) is third-party software licensed by the healthcare clinic or system to manage patient charts.
Patient care in the United States is principally provided in ambulatory clinics, specialty care centers and hospitals. We serve all care settings. Roughly 80% of the physicians who subscribe to our service are employed directly by, or are affiliated with, a healthcare enterprise. The remaining 20% consists of group practices and individual practitioners.
During the first quarter of 2023, we delivered nearly 60,000 notes to our customers each week. We estimate that our products save doctors two to three hours each day, which is time that they can redeploy to see more patients or improve their work-life balance. We believe the principal benefits to healthcare enterprises from our products are increased clinician productivity, higher clinician and patient satisfaction, and more complete documentation with structured data.
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting safety protocols served as a catalyst for the industry’s adoption of virtual products such as ours. The pandemic required modifications to how we deliver our service. While our general business model is for MDSs to work from centralized operating centers, local shelter-in-place orders and safety restrictions required us to temporarily shift to work-from-home for most employees and contracted employees. for a period of time. Further, we instituted additional administrative, technical, and physical controls to ensure compliance with our privacy practices. In 2022 we started to shift back to central operating centers to the extent that local conditions allowed.
Our technology vision is to automate as much of the medical note creation process as possible by combining artificial intelligence technologies, such as automated speech recognition, natural language processing and large language models, with structured data models. While the unstructured nature of a conversation between physician and patient creates challenges to fully automating the process, we believe that increasing levels of automation generate significant benefits including improved operating efficiencies, higher-quality medical notes, a more uniform level of note quality and structured medical data.
Our automation approach is based upon our belief that harmonizing human interaction with technology generates the highest note quality. We train our MDSs to be experts at using our technology tools to consistently and efficiently deliver high-quality, structured medical notes.

Key metrics
We regularly review the following key metrics to measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, make strategic business decisions and assess working capital needs.
| Three
Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| Key Metrics | 2023 | 2022 | ||||||
| Average clinicians in service headcount | 1,371 | 961 | ||||||
| Average annual revenue per clinician (ARPU) | $ | 27,800 | $ | 28,700 | ||||
| Dollar-based net revenue retention | 136 | % | 133 | % | ||||
Average Clinicians in Service Headcount: We define a clinician in service as an individual doctor, nurse practitioner or other healthcare professional using and paying for our services. We average the month end number of clinicians in service for all months in the measurement period and the number of clinicians in service at the end of the month immediately preceding the measurement period. We believe growth in the average number of clinicians in service is a key indicator of the performance of our business as it demonstrates our ability to penetrate the market and grow our business. Most of our customer contracts contain minimum service levels that range from a low of 60 hours per month to a high of 200 hours per month. Higher hours per month equate to higher revenue per clinician. The average number of clinicians in service stood at 1,371 and 961 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Average Annual Revenue Per Clinician: Average revenue per clinician is determined as total revenue, excluding Data Services revenue, recognized during the period presented divided by the average number of clinicians in service during that same period. Using the number of clinicians in service at the end of each month, we derive an average number of clinicians in service for the periods presented. The average annual revenue per clinician will vary based upon minimum hours of service requested by clinicians, pricing, and our product mix. The average annual revenue per clinician decreased to $27,800 in the three months ended March 31, 2023, versus $28,700 in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was due to the increased proportion of clinicians using our Notes product and an increased proportion of clinicians in the acute care setting.
Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention: We define a “Health Enterprise” as a company or network of doctors that has at least 50 clinicians currently employed or affiliated that could utilize our services. Dollar-based net revenue retention is determined as the revenue from Health Enterprises as of twelve months prior to such period end as compared to revenue from these same Health Enterprises as of the current period end, or current period revenue. Current period revenue includes any expansion or new products and is net of contraction or churn over the trailing twelve months but excludes revenue from new Health Enterprises in the current period. We believe growth in dollar-based net revenue retention is a key indicator of the performance of our business as it demonstrates our ability to increase revenue across our existing customer base through expansion of users and products, as well as our ability to retain existing customers. Our annual dollar-based net revenue retention increased to 136% in three months ended March 31, 2023 from 133% in three months ended March 31, 2022.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
Our revenues primarily consist of service fees we charge customers to subscribe to our remote medical documentation and clinical support solutions. We generate subscription fees pursuant to contracts that typically have initial terms of one year, automatically renew after the initial term and are typically subject to a 90 day cancellation notice after the initial one year term. Customer attrition, as it pertains to our Enterprise clients is infrequent. In fiscal 2022, 2021, 2019, 2018, and 2017, we did not lose any of our Health Enterprise clients. We lost one Health Enterprise, one of our smallest, in the first quarter of 2023. We lost three Health Enterprise clients in fiscal 2020, with the economic strain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on those clients being the main contributing factor for these losses, but we also won three new Health Enterprise clients during the year. Subscription revenue is driven primarily by the number of clinicians using our services, the minimum number of hours contracted per month, and the contracted monthly price. We typically invoice customers one to three months in advance for subscriptions to our services. For customers who use more than the minimum number of monthly hours, we have the ability to bill for the additional hours utilized at a prescribed contractual price. We also perform upfront implementation services such as Wi-Fi assessments of the clinician’s facilities, shipping devices and accessories to the clinician, testing, selecting and assigning MDSs, obtaining EHR systems credentials for the MDSs, and clinician orientation. Revenues associated with implementation efforts are deferred until we go live with our service and then recognized ratably over the initial term of the contract.
22
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues primarily consists of the cost of the MDSs, some of whom are employees of our Vendors and some of whom are our employees, their direct supervisors, clinician support, and technical support. Cost of revenues also consists of infrastructure costs to operate our SaaS-based platform such as hosting fees and fees paid to various third-party partners for access to their technology, plus hardware depreciation and cost of shipping for the devices and accessories we provide to our clinicians.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit is calculated by subtracting our cost of revenues from revenues. Gross margin is expressed as a percentage of total revenues. Our gross profit may fluctuate from period to period as revenues fluctuate and as a result of the mix of MDS centers from which service is provided, operational efficiencies, product mix, and changes to our technology expenses and customer support.
Our gross profit varies by MDS center. We plan to focus on and grow the operations of the MDS centers with the best quality and highest gross margin. We intend to continue to invest additional resources in our platform infrastructure. We will also continue to invest in technology innovation, such as Notebuilder, to reduce the level of effort required by MDSs and the number of MDSs needed overall to deliver our services. We expect these optimization efforts and our investment in technology to expand the efficiency and capability of our platform, enabling us to improve our gross margin over time. The level and timing of investment in these areas, plus the mix of MDS centers, could affect our cost of revenues in the future.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation costs for operations management, finance, accounting, insurance, information technology, compliance, legal and human resources personnel, board of director costs, and our business support team in Bangladesh. In addition, general and administrative expenses include non-personnel costs, such as facilities, legal, accounting, insurance premiums, and other professional fees, as well as other supporting corporate expenses not allocated to other departments. We expect our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows, but we expect general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenues in the coming years.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation costs related to sales and marketing, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation, costs of general marketing activities and promotional activities, travel-related expenses, and allocated overhead. Sales and marketing expenses also include onboarding costs for new clinicians and costs for advertising and other marketing activities. Advertising is expensed as incurred. We expect our sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars as we expand our sales and marketing efforts and onboarding capacity.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist of costs for the design, development, testing, and enhancement of our products and services and are generally expensed as incurred. These costs consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation for our development personnel. Research and development expenses also include direct MDS training costs, product management, third-party partner fees, and third-party consulting fees. We expect our research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net, consists primarily of the interest incurred on our debt obligations and the non-cash interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discounts. Interest expense is offset by any interest income we earn on our cash balances held in our interest-bearing savings account or money market funds.
23
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expenses) consists primarily of Bangladesh government grant income and also foreign currency gains and losses due to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than our functional currency.

Revenues increased $2.6 million to $9.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $7.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a 43% increase in the average number of clinicians in service partially offset by a 3% decline in ARPU. The increase in clinicians in service was driven predominately by our existing Health Enterprises adding physicians. Dollar-based net revenue retention was 136% in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Increases in revenue were also attributable to growth coming from new physician practice groups and growth of our Notes business.

Research and development expenses increased $0.4 million to $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Research and development expenses increased by $0.3 million mainly due to additional investments in headcount. The increase was also attributable to a $0.1 million increase in our training expenses for new MDSs due to our growth of new clinicians.

Our interest expense decreased $0.2 million to $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was attributable to a lower interest rate from refinancing the debt in May of 2022. Our interest income increased by $0.2 million to $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to higher interest rates and the increased use of money market funds.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 we received a $0.1 million grant from the Bangladesh government for our investments and expenditures in that country, and in the three months ended March 21, 2022, we received a $0.1 million grant from the Bangladesh government.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash raised from sales of common stock, preferred stock previous to 2020, and cash from borrowings under various facilities, which are further described below. As of March 31, 2023, we had cash resources of $20.6 million which includes $0.7 million of restricted cash to secure our credit card facility balances, to collateralize a letter of credit in the name of our landlord pursuant to a certain operating lease, and for a post-employment savings fund established for the benefit of eligible Bangladesh employees. Since Augmedix’s inception in 2013 until today, we have financed our operations primarily through the private and public sale of approximately $200 million of preferred and common stock and from various debt arrangements. As described in Footnote 1 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, we have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and have an accumulated deficit at March 31, 2023 of $131 million. We have relied on debt and equity financing to fund operations to date and we expect losses and negative cash flows to continue, primarily as a result of continued research, development and marketing efforts. Our cash balance will provide sufficient resources to meet working capital needs for over twelve months from the filing date of the March 31, 2023 Form 10-Q. Over the longer term, if we do not generate sufficient revenue from new and existing products, additional debt or equity financing may be required along with a reduction in expenditures. Additionally, there is no assurance if we require additional future financing that such financing will be available on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.
The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for each of the periods presented:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2023, we do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Other than as described under Note 2 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023, have not materially changed.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. We have elected to early adopt certain new accounting standards, as described in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
As of March 31, 2023, as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of such date, due to the material weakness in our internal control over technical accounting analyses, and the regular review and application of accounting policies, as the company grew and its operations changed. Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods disclosed in accordance with GAAP.
Remediation Efforts to Address the Material Weakness
A material weakness in our internal control over the application of accounting policies was identified as of September 30, 2022. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness identified was a lack of sufficient resources in our finance function to meet our financial reporting requirements. This material weakness resulted in insufficient management review of accounting policies as our company grew. Management continues to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal control environment, including implementing additional internal controls over the annual review of all relevant accounting policies, particularly in areas where our operations have changed. We will add additional resources and expertise to our finance function to enhance the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Although we plan to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible, we cannot estimate at this time how long it will take.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our consolidated financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected.
As a result of becoming a public company, we are required, under Section 404a of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. The SEC defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2022, of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of such date due to the material weakness in our internal control over the regular review and application of accounting policies, as necessitated by the growth of the company and its changing operations. Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods disclosed in accordance with GAAP.
As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404b of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited or issued an attestation report with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
