1. Organization and Nature of Business

 

Augmedix, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “our”) was incorporated in 2013 and launched its commercial real-time, remote documentation services in 2014. Augmedix delivers industry-leading, ambient medical documentation and data solutions to healthcare systems, physician practices, hospitals, and telemedicine practitioners.

 

Augmedix is on a mission to help clinicians and patients form a human connection at the point of care without the intrusion of technology. Augmedix’s solutions extract data from natural physician-patient conversations and convert it to medical notes in real time, which are seamlessly transferred to the Electronic Health Record (‘EHR”) system. To achieve this, the Company’s Ambient Automation Platform uses Automated Speech Recognition and Natural Language Processing, supported by medical documentation specialists.

 

Leveraging this platform, Augmedix’s solutions relieve clinicians of administrative burden, in turn, reducing burnout and increasing both clinician and patient satisfaction.

 

Augmedix is headquartered in San Francisco, CA, with offices in four (4) countries around the world.

 

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 September 30, 2022, the Company’s existing sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $27.0 million. The Company has a limited history of operations and has incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and loss from operations in the past as reflected in the accumulated deficit of $120.2 million as of September 30, 2022. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses due to the investments it intends to make in its business, including the development of products. The Company has adequate cash balances that will be sufficient to fund operating and capital expenditure requirements through at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks associated with companies at a similar stage, including dependence on key personnel, competition from similar products and larger companies, ongoing changes within 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, including ongoing economic impacts from the conflict in Ukraine.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and the world. The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-pandemic on its business. We cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19, including its duration in the United States and worldwide, the effectiveness of governmental responses designed to mitigate strain to businesses and the economy and the magnitude of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic and preventative measures taken to contain or mitigate its spread have caused and are continuing to cause, business shutdowns, cancellations of events and travel, significant reductions in demand for certain goods and services, reductions in business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability both globally and in the United States. Such effects will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and for some period thereafter. The Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

The Company has been carefully monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the business and has taken important steps to help ensure the safety of the Company’s employees and to reduce the spread of COVID-19 community-wide. The Company is ensuring that essential staffing levels at the Company’s operations remain in place, including maintaining key personnel in the Company’s facilities. The Company has implemented stringent safety measures designed to create a safe and clean environment for the Company’s employees as the Company continues to comply with applicable guidelines (foreign and U.S., as applicable) instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
