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 $4.9 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $88.8 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 March 31, 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 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 is monitoring the impact of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, in addition to the impact on its employees. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain it or mitigate its impact, the success of the vaccine rollout and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

The Company has been carefully monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential 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 federal, state and local guidelines instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
