1. Organization and Nature of Business

 

Augmedix, Inc. (the “Company” or “Augmedix”) (formerly known as Malo Holdings Corporation) provides virtual medical documentation services for clinicians through software compatible with off-the-shelf, mobile client devices (smartphones or Google Glass) that enables clinicians to connect to the Augmedix Service Platform (“ASP”). Through the ASP, clinicians either subscribe to the Augmedix Live service or the Notes service. Clinicians connect in real time to remotely-located documentation specialists (“RDSs”), if subscribed to Augmedix’s Live service. If subscribed to Augmedix’s Notes service, the clinician-patient’s ambient interaction is recorded and processed using ASR (auto speech recognition) then reviewed and edited by Augmedix’s RDSs. For both services, the relevant elements of the clinician-patient interaction are extracted and compiled into a comprehensive and accurate medical note that is then uploaded into the patient’s chart contained within the electronic health record system, which is a third-party software licensed by the healthcare clinic or system to manage patient charts.

 

Malo Holdings Corporation Merger

 

On October 5, 2020 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated October 5, 2020 (“Merger Agreement”) among the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, August Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition Sub”) and Augmedix Operating Corporation (“Private Augmedix”), a privately-held Delaware corporation, Acquisition Sub merged with and into Private Augmedix, with Private Augmedix continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, Private Augmedix became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Private Augmedix was incorporated in the state of Delaware in April 2013 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Private Augmedix has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Augmedix BD Limited, established in February 2015, and Augmedix Solutions Pvt. Ltd., established in February 2019, which are entities formed in Bangladesh and India, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including net losses of $4.6 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $9.5 million and $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $93.4 million. The Company has relied on debt and equity financing to fund operations to date and management expects losses and negative cash flows to continue, primarily as a result of continued research, development and marketing efforts. The Company believes its cash and restricted cash will provide sufficient resources to meet working capital needs for over twelve months from the filing date of the June 30, 2021 Form 10-Q. Over the longer term, if the Company does 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 the Company requires additional future financing, that such financing will be available on terms which are acceptable to the Company, or at all.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks associated with companies at a similar stage, including dependence on key individuals, competition from similar products and larger companies, volatility of the industry, ability to obtain adequate financing to support growth, the ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel to manage the anticipated growth of the Company, and general economic conditions.

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was reported and in March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID  -19 as a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced international, federal, state, and local governments to enforce prohibitions of non-essential activities. The Company first saw the impact of COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2020. The extent and duration of the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company over the longer term remain uncertain and dependent on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the severity and transmission rate of COVID-19, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions taken, including mobility restrictions, the timing, availability, and effectiveness of vaccines, and the impact of these and other factors on travel behavior in general and on the Company’s business. As a result, the Company took a number of actions in 2020 in response to adverse impacts on its consolidated operating results, and financial condition.

 

As the impact of COVID-19 continues to evolve, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require increased judgment. These estimates and assumptions may change in future periods and will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as new events occur and additional information becomes known. To the extent the Company’s actual results differ materially from those estimates and assumptions, the Company’s future consolidated financial statements could be affected.
