EXPLANATORY NOTE
On May 3, 2024, the SEC entered an order barring BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”), the Company’s then independent registered public accounting firm, from appearing or practicing before the SEC as an accountant and therefore Borgers could no longer act as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Effective May 13, 2024, the Company dismissed Borgers as its independent registered public accounting firm. Subsequently, the Company engaged BDO India LLP (“BDO”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.
Given the circumstances giving rise to Borgers’ dismissal, the Company asked BDO to re-audit SSi’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). Contemporaneously with the re-audit, the Company also undertook an internal review of certain accounting policies and internal controls and procedures. In addition to the foregoing, because of the change in auditors and the time required to perform the reaudit, the Company filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024, without the required review procedures specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for a review of interim financial information as described in AS 4105, “Reviews of Interim Financial Information” (the “required review”).
In the course of this internal review and while BDO was performing the reaudit, the Company discovered material errors in the prior filed audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K and in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024, included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for those quarters (the “Subject Forms 10-Q”). As a result, the Company determined that in order to reflect the foregoing, the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K and the Subject Forms 10-Q would need to be restated. An external consulting firm was also appointed by the Company to help perform comprehensive technical accounting evaluations.
Thereafter, the board of directors of the Company, after discussion with management of the discovered material errors, concluded that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2024, should no longer be relied upon due to the reasons stated above. SSi reported the foregoing in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC. The Company has therefore amended the Subject Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2024 to give effect to the restatements arising from the reaudit.
This Form 10-Q/A Amendment No. 1 to Form-10-Q (this “Amendment” or this “Report”) restates the Company’s previously issued interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, included in the Subject Form 10-Q for that quarter. For detailed information, see “Note 1. Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements for Correction of Errors” to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Amendment. In addition, this Amendment has undergone the required review.
In connection with the restatement, management re-evaluated the effectiveness of SSi’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024. As a result of that assessment, management has concluded that SSi’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2024, due to material weaknesses in SSi’s internal control over financial reporting related to above accounting errors. For a discussion of management’s consideration of SSi’s disclosure controls and procedures, internal controls over financial reporting, the material weaknesses identified, and the remedial actions being taken, see “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” in this Amendment.
As a result of the above, this Amendment amends the following Items of our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024: “Item 1. Financial Statements”, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” in Part I and “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” in Part II.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Organization
SS Innovations International, Inc. (the “Company” or “SSII”) was incorporated as AVRA Surgical Microsystems, Inc. in the State of Florida on February 4, 2015. Effective November 5, 2015, the Company’s corporate name was changed to Avra Medical Robotics, Inc. (“AVRA”).
On April 14, 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, AVRA-SSI Merger Corporation (“Merger Sub”) merged with CardioVentures, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CardioVentures”), the indirect parent of Sudhir Srivastava Innovations Pvt. Ltd., an Indian private limited company engaged in the business of developing innovative surgical robotic technologies. As a result of the transaction, a “change in control” of the Company took place. In addition, among other matters, the Company changed its name to “SS Innovations International, Inc.” and implemented a one for ten reverse stock split. The financial statements, financial information, share and per share information contained in this report reflect the operations of both the Company and CardioVentures and give actual effect to the reverse stock split.
The Transaction (Note 4) was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method, AVRA was treated as the “acquired” company (the “Accounting Acquiree”) and Cardio Ventures Inc., the accounting acquirer, was assumed to have issued stock for the net assets of AVRA, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2022, CardioVentures has been considered the ultimate holding company. Prior to October 18, 2022, Cardio Ventures Pvt Ltd., Bahamas (Cardio Bahamas), was in existence and served as the ultimate holding company. On October 18, 2022, Cardio Ventures Inc. acquired controlling interest in Otto Pvt Ltd. from Cardio Bahamas, making Cardio Ventures Inc. the ultimate holding company.
Basis of Presentation
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, and the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and stockholders’ equity for the nine months and three months and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 2024 and our results of operations for the nine months and three months and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The financial data and other financial information disclosed in these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements related to the nine months and three months are also unaudited. The interim condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future annual or interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 included herein was produced from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 6, 2024.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the condensed consolidated financial statements of SS Innovations International, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (the “Group”).
The standalone financial statements of subsidiaries are fully consolidated on a line-by-line basis. Intra-group balances and transactions, and gains and losses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated while preparing condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Accounting policies of the respective individual subsidiaries are aligned wherever necessary, so as to ensure consistency with the accounting policies that are adopted by the Company under GAAP.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements for Correction of Errors

| (1) | Functional / Other reclassifications |
In 2024, the Company conducted an in-depth review of its functional expense classification and other reclassifications resulting in more appropriate allocation of costs based on their specific business functions. The following adjustments have been implemented:
1. Reclassification of lease expenses related to Production (COGS) and Research & Development (R&D) from Sales General & Administration cost (SG&A)
Previously, lease expenses related to production and R&D activities were grouped under SG&A expenses. As a result of the review, these costs have now been reclassified to more accurately reflect their functional relationship with core business activities.
Lease expenses for production-related activities are now included under cost of revenue, as they are directly tied to the production process.
Lease expenses for R&D activities are now classified under R&D expenses, ensuring that these costs are appropriately aligned with innovation efforts and accurately allocated based on the proper assumptions regarding their direct contribution to the Company’s research and development initiatives.
This reclassification provides a clearer picture of how the Company allocates resources toward both operational production and future product development.
2. Salaries and Related Expenses in COGS, R&D and SG&A
Previously, salaries and related expenses were shown directly as a separate head in the statement of Income and Other comprehensive loss. Following further evaluation, these expenses have been reclassified between COGS, R&D and SG&A.
Salaries and benefits for production staff are now included under COGS, aligning them more accurately with the Company’s production costs. This enhances the calculation of gross profit margins and ensures the expenses are matched with the corresponding revenue.
Salaries for R&D personnel have been classified exclusively in R&D expenses, properly attributing costs to the development of new products and technologies and reflecting the Company’s ongoing investment in innovation.
These changes improve the functional categorization of expenses and provide a more accurate depiction of the Company’s operating performance.
3. Other reclassifications in condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows
We noted that there are reclassifications required in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to
| - | correct current/non-current positions |
| - | correct classification basis nature of receivable/payable |

Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12
months as of the date these financial statements are issued. The Company had a working capital surplus of $
Between February 1, 2024 and February 14, 2024,
the Company raised $
These notes are payable in full after 12 months
from the respective date of issuance of these Notes and are convertible at the election of noteholder at any time through the maturity
date at a per share price of $
In April 2024, the Company has further raised
$
In July 2024, the Company has further raised $
However, the Company’s existing cash resources and income from operations, are not expected to provide sufficient funds to carry out the Company’s operations and business development through the next twelve (12) months. The management of the Company is making efforts to raise further funding to scale up operations and meet its longer-term capital needs. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned expansion of its operating activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity capital or be successful in generating additional revenues and ultimately achieving profitability. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
| a) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. Significant estimates included discount rate for measuring significant financing component for deferred collections in revenue contracts, fair value of stock options, incremental borrowing rate for leases and useful life of property plant and equipment.
| b) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents.
| c) | Restricted Cash |
Restricted cash includes any cash and cash equivalents that are legally restricted as to withdrawal or usage for the Company’s operations. For the purposes of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company includes in its cash and cash-equivalent balances those amounts that have been classified as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents.
| d) | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Expected Credit Losses |
The Company’s account receivables are due
from customers relating to contracts to supply surgical robotic systems, instruments, and accessories and to provide post sales warranty/maintenance
services. The Company also sells surgical robotic systems under deferred payment arrangements and in such cases, the amounts due and
recoverable beyond the one year period at the balance sheet date are classified as long-term receivables. Collateral is currently not
required. The Company also maintains credit loss allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers
to make payments. The Company periodically reviews these estimated allowances, including an analysis of the customers’ payment
history and creditworthiness, the age of the trade receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s
ability to make payments as well as historical collection trends for its customers as a whole. Based on this review, the Company specifically
reserves for those accounts deemed uncollectible or likely to become uncollectible. When receivables are determined to be uncollectible,
principal amounts of such receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of September
30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 amounted to $
15
| e) | Employee Benefits |
Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which services are rendered by the covered employees. Current service costs for defined benefit plans are recognized in the period to which they relate. The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated annually by the Company using the projected unit credit method. The Company records annual amounts relating to its defined benefit plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, future compensation increases and attrition rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications to those assumptions is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and amortized to net periodic benefit cost over the expected remaining period of service of the covered employees using the corridor method. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions. These assumptions may not be within the control of the Company and accordingly it is reasonably possible that these assumptions could change in future periods. The Company includes the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the respective employees during the period. The interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gains/loss, are included in “Other income/(expense), net”.
| f) | Foreign Currency Translation |
The functional currency of each entity in the group is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded into functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to the functional currency at exchange rates that prevailed on the date of inception of the transaction. All foreign exchange gains and losses arising on re-measurement are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
The assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries for which the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars, the reporting currency, at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the last business day of each month, which approximates the average monthly exchange rate. Share capital and other equity items are translated at exchange rates that prevailed on the date of inception of the transaction. Resulting translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss)” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The relevant translation rates are as follows:
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 closing rate at
The relevant translation rates are as follows:
for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 closing rate at
The relevant translation rates are as follows:
for the year ended December 31, 2023 closing rate at
16
| g) | Inventory |
The Company’s inventory consists of finished
goods in the form of fully assembled and tested surgical robotic system, semi-finished goods in the form of various sub-systems of the
surgical robotic systems in various stages of assembly and manufacturing and raw material in the form of various mechanical, electrical,
and other material components, parts, motors, encoders etc. which are not yet assembled/manufactured. The inventory is valued at the lower
of cost (first-in, first-out) or estimated net realizable value. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the Company valued the
inventory at $
| h) | Fair value measurements |
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as against assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the Company’s own credit risk. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
| ● | Level I — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
| ● | Level II — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. |
| ● | Level III — Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable. |
| i) | Concentration of Credit Risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. and cash equivalents, time deposits and accounts receivable. By their nature, all such financial instruments involve risks including the credit risks of non-performance by counterparties. The surplus funds are maintained as cash and cash equivalents and time deposits, placed with highly rated financial institutions to reduce its exposure to market risk with regard to these funds. The Company’s exposure to credit risk on account receivable is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. To mitigate this risk the Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers in conjunction with its revenue recognition processes as well as through its ongoing collectability assessment processes for accounts receivable. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
| j) | Commitments and Contingencies |
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation that may require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. Legal costs incurred in connection with such liabilities are expensed as incurred. Capital commitments are disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
17
| k) | Revenue Recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize 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 to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized:
| ● | Identification of a contract with a customer or placement of a purchase order by the customer. |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract or the purchase order as the case may be. |
| ● | Determination of the transaction price which is reflected in the purchase order placed by the customer. |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied as per the terms of the purchase order received from the customer. |
The Company accounts for revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Product type and payment terms vary by client.
| i. | System Sales: |
The Company recognizes revenue when the “transfer of control” occurs, which typically takes place upon the delivery of the system to the customer. In cases where a deferred payment arrangement exists, revenue is recognized at the present value of the consideration receivable, adjusted by the present value of any extended warranty obligations.
Key Terms of Customer Contracts
The Company enters into binding contracts with customers through either an agreement or a sales order, with all terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by both parties. The key terms and conditions include:
| 1. | Finalization of Product and Price: Agreement on the specific model of the “SSI Mantra” system and its selling price. |
| 2. | Payment Terms: Determination of payment terms, which may involve either a deferred payment arrangement or a one-time payment upon delivery and installation of the system at the customer’s premises. |
| 3. | Deferred
Payment Model: For deferred payments, customers typically pay an advance amount before the dispatch of the system. The remaining balance
is payable in yearly installments over a period of |
| 4. | Warranty
Services: Instead of negotiating the sales price, the Company provides a warranty service that includes a 1-year assurance warranty and
an extended warranty for an additional |
| 5. | Delivery, Installation, and Training: The Company is responsible for delivering and installing the system at the customer’s premises. Post-installation, the Company provides free training to surgeons and surgical staff to enable them to operate the system effectively. |
| 6. | Transfer of Risk and Rewards: The risks and rewards associated with the system are transferred to the customer upon delivery to their premises. |
| ii. | Instrument and Accessories Sales: |
The Company also sells instruments for use by surgeons in conjunction with the use of our surgical robotic systems. These instruments are consumable items for our hospital customers, and we recognize the revenues from the sale of instruments as and when the instruments are delivered to the customer.
18
| iii. | Warranty and Annual Maintenance Contract Sales: |
Under ASC 606, the portion of the equipment sales value attributable to annual maintenance contracts is recorded separately as Warranty sales, which are recognized at their present value. Once the warranty periods expire, the maintenance contracts commence, and the revenue generated from these maintenance contracts is recognized as a distinct revenue stream.
| iv. | Lease Income: |
Under ASC 842, in case where the systems are installed under a pay-per-use arrangement, the fixed component of income arising from the contract shall be recognized as lease income over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Further this arrangement doesn’t involves any transfer of title to the counterparty, hence the Company has capitalized the cost of production relating to those systems under property, plant and equipment and accordingly charges the depreciation over its period of useful life.
| l) | Property Plant & Equipment |
Property and equipment are stated at cost, which is generally comprised of the purchase price for such property or equipment, non-refundable duties and taxes, but excludes any discounts and/or rebates, less accumulated depreciation and impairment.
The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Property Plant & Equipment depreciated using
the straight-line method at rates determined as per estimated useful life of the assets.

| Plant and machinery | ||||
| Research & Development equipment | ||||
| Server & networking | ||||
| Vehicles | ||||
| Pay per use systems | ||||
| Demo system | ||||
| m) | Long-lived Assets |
In accordance with ASC 360, “Property Plant and Equipment”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset and current expectation that the asset will more than likely not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the discounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain circumstances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
19
| n) | Stock Compensation Expense |
Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires significant judgment, including estimating the expected term over which the stock awards will be outstanding before they are exercised and the expected volatility of our stock.
Stock Options: These provide employees with the right, but not the obligation, to purchase shares of the Company’s stock at a specified price, within a defined period, as per the terms of the stock option agreement. Stock-based compensation expense associated with AVRA 2016 Stock Incentive Plan is measured at fair-value using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model at commencement of each offering period and recognized over that offering period.
Stock Units (Restricted Stock Units, or RSUs): These do not require the employee to exercise any options. Each stock unit automatically converts into a specified number of shares upon vesting. The Company uses last three month’s average share price of common stock on OTC exchange as grant date fair value for RSUs.
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for both employees and non-employee directors based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. These costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, or until the date at which the recipient becomes eligible for retirement, if shorter. Forfeitures of equity awards are accounted for as they occur.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for goods or services from non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Stock Compensation. The costs associated with these equity instruments are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
| o) | Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company calculates and provides income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the condensed consolidated financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and all operating losses carried forward, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the applicable temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or tax status is recognized in the statements of income in the period in which the change is identified. The Company releases (reclassifies) the tax effects from AOCI to the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for amortization of deferred actuarial gain/(loss) on retirement benefits. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company establishes provisions for uncertain tax provisions and related interest and penalties when the Company believes those tax positions are not more likely than not of being sustained, if challenged.

) | ( |
) | ||||
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to SSII stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For periods in which we report net losses, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.
| (1) |
| q) | Research and Development Costs |
In accordance with ASC Topic 730 “Research and Development”, with the exception of intellectual property that is purchased from another enterprise and have alternative future use, research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
| r) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Our financial instruments consist principally of accounts receivable, amounts due to related parties and promissory notes payable. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and promissory notes approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
| s) | Leases |
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. The Company’s assessment is based on whether: (1) the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the term of the contract, and (3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or (4) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset.
21
Operating leases are presented within “Right-of-use assets, operating lease” “Current portion of operating lease liabilities” and “Operating lease liabilities, less current portion” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Right-of-use assets (ROU) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease arrangement. Lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease ROU assets are recognized at commencement date in an amount equal to lease liability, adjusted for any lease prepayments, initial direct costs, and lease incentives. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate by adjusting the benchmark reference rates with appropriate financing spreads applicable to the respective geographies where the leases are entered and lease specific adjustments for the effects of collateral, if applicable. Lease terms includes the effects of options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain at commencement of the lease that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term reflecting single operating lease cost. The Company evaluates lease agreements to determine lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.
Lease payments that depend on factors other than an index or rate are considered variable lease payments and are excluded from the operating lease assets and liabilities and are recognized as expense in the period in which the obligation is incurred. Lease payments include payments for common area maintenance, utilities such as electricity, heating and water, among others, and property taxes, and other similar payments paid to the landlord, which are treated as non-lease component.
The Company accounts for lease-related concessions in accordance with guidance in Topic 842, Leases, to determine, on a lease-by-lease basis, whether the concession provided by lessor should be accounted for as a lease modification.
The Company accounts for a modification as a separate contract when it grants an additional right of use not included in the original lease and the increase is commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use, adjusted for the circumstances of the particular contract. Modifications which are not accounted for as a separate contract are reassessed as of the effective date of the modification based on its modified terms and conditions and the facts and circumstances as of that date. Upon modification, the Company remeasures the lease liability to reflect changes to the remaining lease payments and discount rates and recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the ROU assets. However, if the carrying amount of the ROU assets is reduced to zero as a result of modification, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized as an expense in condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company reviews ROU assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable.

NOTE 17 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Company’s Gratuity Plan in India provides for a lump sum payment to employees on retirement or upon termination of employment in an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and years of employment with the Company. Liabilities under this plan are determined by actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Current service costs for these plans are accrued in the year to which they relate. Actuarial gains or losses or prior service costs, if any, resulting from amendments to the plans, are recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the employees.
The Gratuity Plan is unfunded, and the company does not make contributions to the plan assets.
The benefit obligation has been measured as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The following table sets forth the activity and the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at the end of the relevant periods:

NOTE 18 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
| ● | Level 1: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets. |
| ● | Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and |
| ● | Level 3: unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. |
The company’s financial assets which are set out below in the table is measured at fair value by considering the level III inputs. The company does not have financial assets which are measured using Level I or Level II inputs.

Carrying value and fair value of Level III Financial assets and liabilities:

Introduction
The Company was originally incorporated in the state of Florida on February 4, 2015, under the name “Avra Surgical Microsystems, Inc.,” and changed its name to “Avra Medical Robotics, Inc.” (“AVRA”) on November 5, 2015.
From inception through April 13, 2023, we were engaged in developing a fully autonomous medical robotic system using proprietary software which integrated Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning, or Machine Learning. Our research and development efforts were based in Orlando, Florida, where we established a research partnership with the University of Central Florida.
In July and August 2022, AVRA and the management of Cardio Ventures, Inc. (“CardioVentures”) began discussions to explore potential merger synergies, leading to a formal agreement in November 2022 by and among the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), CardioVentures and Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, who, through his holding company, owned a controlling interest in CardioVentures (the “Merger Agreement”). Cardio Ventures was primarily seeking a platform to raise funds in the U.S. to support operations of its subsidiary, SSI India. AVRA’s ability to attract funds from its high-net-worth investors became a focal point in these discussions, presenting a path for AVRA shareholders to also benefit from the merger. Consequently, as part of the merger strategy, AVRA raised funds through convertible notes (at the rate of 7% interest per annum), which were subsequently provided to Cardio Ventures via convertible notes issued by Cardio Ventures. Investors like Andrew Economos and Dr. Fred Moll, both existing AVRA shareholders, contributed to these notes, foreseeing significant commercial benefits and the potential for AVRA’s turnaround post-merger, despite AVRA’s status as an inactive company at the time. On April 14, 2023, we consummated the acquisition of by merger of CardioVentures, pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
The Company is currently engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, and selling a surgical robotic system under our proprietary brand “SSi Mantra,” together with allied accessories and a wide range of surgical instruments capable of supporting cardiac and a variety of other surgical procedures. Having commenced commercial sales of our surgical robotic system in the second half of 2022, and its allied instruments and accessories. Accordingly, the operating results detailed below largely reflect the impact of the consummation of the Reverse Merger transaction in April 2023, when compared with operating results for the corresponding period in 2022.
Our financial performance is largely driven by increasing awareness of the benefits of robotically assisted surgery, improved learning curves for robotic surgeons and the affordability and accessibility of surgical robotic technology. Our financial performance is also dependent on our obtaining regulatory approvals in various regulated markets where we have plans to sell our products. Robotically assisted surgeries are increasingly being recognized as an approved treatment modality from an insurance coverage perspective.
Our manufacturing operations being based in India derive significant operating cost advantages in terms of availability of quality and cost-effective fabrication/3D printing solutions, electronic/electrical/mechanical components, outsourced services and skilled manpower. All these factors help us in having lower costs of production which eventually helps us make our surgical robotic system cost effective and relatively affordable.
The condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. In the second half of 2022, the Company commercially launched its “SSI Mantra” robotic surgical system in India. During the nine months and three months period ended September 30, 2024, we have sold 21 and 7 systems respectively, which have performed more than 2,759 procedures of various types involving varying degrees of complexities.

Results of Operations
Introduction
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statement and Notes thereto. This section of the Report generally discusses 2024 and 2023 items and quarter-to-quarter comparisons between 2024 and 2023.
The Company has recently commenced its commercial operations by way of the sale of its product and has not yet established consistent operational revenue cash flows to meet all its fixed operating costs and hence may continue to incur losses for some time. These conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The following table provides selected balance sheet data for our Company as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

To date, the Company has mainly relied on debt and equity raised in private offerings to finance its operations. Subsequent to September 2024, the Company has raised $30,500,000 through its affiliates till January 2025, and the Company plans to raise additional capital through further private or public offerings. However, if we are unable to do so and if we experience a shortfall in operating capital, we could be faced with having to limit our expansion plans, research and development and marketing activities.

Three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to three months ended September 30, 2023
Total Revenue. We had revenues of $4,386,516 (comprising $3,969,805 of system sales, $337,580 of instrument sales, $58,547 of warranty sales and lease income $20,584), for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2,187,006 (comprising $2,133,295 of system sales and $53,711 of instrument sales) for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net total is primarily due to sale of increased number of surgical robotic systems and instruments in the period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the period ended September 30, 2023.
Research and development expense. Research and development expenses were $442,839 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $291,909 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Research and development expense primarily consists of salaries paid to engineers, amounting to $333,625 and $155,104 for the period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses as compared to the previous period is in line with the Company’s continued focus on improving the design and technological capabilities of its SSi Mantra surgical robotic system and further expanding its product offerings.
Stock compensation expense. We had compensation expenses of $2,451,355 and $24,450 during three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The substantial increase in the stock compensation expense in 2024 is primarily the result of the award of stock grants to employees of the subsidiaries and the issuance of stock awards and stock options to executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries in November 2023 under our Incentive Stock Plan, in recognition of their efforts in developing and commercializing our SSi Mantra system.
Depreciation and amortization expense. We had depreciation and amortization expense of $119,502 for the period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $38,644 for the period ended September 30, 2023. The depreciation and amortization expenses primarily consist of depreciation on fixed assets only.
Selling, general and administrative expense. We incurred $2,508,479 in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $1,795,945 September 30, 2023.
Our SG&A expense comprise of expense relating to salaries and benefits, retirement benefits as well as costs related to recruitment, other compensation expenses of sales and marketing and client management personnel, sales commission, travel and brand building, client events and conferences, training and retention of senior management and other support personnel in enabling functions, telecommunications, utilities, travel and other miscellaneous administrative costs. SG&A expense also include acquisition-related costs, legal and professional fees (which represent the costs of third party legal, tax, accounting, immigration and other advisors), investment in product development, digital technology, advanced automation and robotics, related to grant of our equity awards to members of our board of directors. We expect our SG&A expense to increase as we continue to strengthen our support and enabling functions and invest in leadership development, performance management and training programs.
Other income/expenses. We incurred other expenses of $40,715 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $46,438 of other expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The reduction in interest expense from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024 resulted from an increase in interest income on fixed deposits with HDFC bank in India.
Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $3,245,483 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a net loss of $1,898,538 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net loss from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024 is primarily the result of the increase in general and administrative expenses of $712,534 and stock compensation expense of $2,426,905 on account of stock awards and options granted to the employees and executive officers of the Company respectively.

Nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2023
Total Revenue. We had revenues of $12,533,335 (comprising $11,722,762 of system sales, $660,216 of instrument sales, $96,749 of warranty sales and lease income $53,608), for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $4,448,939 (comprising $3,913,492 of system sales and $535,447 of instrument sales) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net total is primarily due to sale of increased number of surgical robotic systems and instruments in the period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the period ended September 30, 2023.
Research and development expense. Research and development expenses were $1,729,834 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $780,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Research and development expense primarily consists of salaries paid to engineers, amounting to $954,621 and $452,227 for the period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses as compared to the previous year is in line with the Company’s continued focus on improving the design and technological capabilities of its SSi Mantra surgical robotic system and further expanding its product offerings.
Stock compensation expense. We had compensation expenses of $12,003,897 and $32,600 during nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The substantial increase in the stock compensation expense in 2024 is primarily the result of the award of stock grants to employees of the subsidiaries and the issuance of stock awards and stock options to executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries in November 2023 under our Incentive Stock Plan, in recognition of their efforts in developing and commercializing our SSi Mantra system.
Depreciation and amortization expense. We had depreciation and amortization expense of $290,079 for the period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $105,701 for the period ended September 30, 2023. The depreciation and amortization expenses primarily consist of depreciation on fixed assets only.
Selling, general and administrative expense. We incurred $7,596,841 in SG&A expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $8,339,593 September 30, 2023, respectively.
Our SG&A expense comprise of expense relating to salaries and benefits, retirement benefits as well as costs related to recruitment, other compensation expenses of sales and marketing and client management personnel, sales commission, travel and brand building, client events and conferences, training and retention of senior management and other support personnel in enabling functions, telecommunications, utilities, travel and other miscellaneous administrative costs. SG&A expense also include acquisition-related costs, legal and professional fees (which represent the costs of third party legal, tax, accounting, immigration and other advisors), investment in product development, digital technology, advanced automation and robotics, related to grant of our equity awards to members of our board of directors. We expect our SG&A expense to increase as we continue to strengthen our support and enabling functions and invest in leadership development, performance management and training programs.
44
The decrease in SG&A expense is due to non-cash expense incurred relating to shares issued to investors and advisors during the period September 30, 2023.
Other income/expenses. We incurred other expenses of $90,530 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $622,178 of other expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The reduction in interest expense from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024 resulted from an increase in interest income on fixed deposits with HDFC bank in India.
Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $17,227,806 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a net loss of $8,736,042 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net loss from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024 is primarily the result of the decrease in general and administrative expenses of $742,752 and increase in stock compensation expense of $11,971,297 on account of stock awards and options granted to the employees and executive officers of the Company respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company expects to require substantial funds for scaling up its operations, for incurring capital expenditure to have its own in-house machining and tooling capacity and to continue to finance its research and development work in the field of surgical robotics.
Between February 1, 2024, and February 14, 2024, the Company raised $2,450,000 through a private offering of 7% One-Year Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”) from two affiliates of $1,000,000 each and $450,000 from three other investors to finance its ongoing working capital requirements.
These Notes are payable in full after 12 months from the respective date of issuance of these Notes and are convertible at the election of noteholder at any time through the maturity date at a per share price of $4.45.
In April 2024, the Company has raised $2,000,000 from its affiliate by issuance of two One-Year 7% Promissory Notes of $1,000,000 each, to meet certain working capital needs.
In July 2024, the Company has further raised $500,000 from its affiliate by issuance of One-Year 7% Promissory Notes to finance its ongoing working capital requirements.
While we have been successful in raising funds to meet our working capital needs to date, believe that we have the resources to do so for the balance, we do not have any committed sources of funding and there are no assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding if and when needed. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, if the efforts noted above are not successful, it would raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot obtain financing, then we may be forced to further curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives. Even if we are successful in raising the additional financing, there is no assurance regarding the terms of any additional investment and any such investment or other strategic alternative would likely substantially dilute our current shareholders.

While we have been successful in raising funds to finance our operations since inception and we believe that we will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations going forward, we do not have any committed sources of funding and there are no assurance that we will be able to secure additional funding. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, if we cannot obtain financing, then we may be forced to further curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives. Even if we are successful in raising the additional financing, there is no assurance regarding the terms of any additional investment and any such investment or other strategic alternative would likely substantially dilute our current shareholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates included discount rate for measuring significant financing component for deferred collections in revenue contracts, fair value of stock options, incremental borrowing rate for leases and useful life of property plant and equipment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

To ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on that re-evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective, due to material weaknesses in SSi’s internal control in that:
| ● | We failed to design controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that GAAP was being properly applied to the matters resulting the restatement of our financial statements, including accounting for merger transaction, recognition of revenue in case of deferred payment sales, recognition of right of use of certain assets and lease liabilities and functional and other classifications, resulting in the accounting errors described in Note 1. Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Amendment. |
| ● | We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
| ● | We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
Remediation Plan
The Company has been addressing and remediating these material weaknesses with the support and assistance of the accounting and financial staff employed by our Indian operating subsidiary. We are enhancing the review process for significant transactions to ensure proper accounting treatment under applicable guidelines and are engaging external experts where necessary to assist in the application of accounting principles to complex transactions. In addition, we are implementing a new ERP system which is designed to integrate all business functions within the accounting and financial department to further address the abovementioned weaknesses.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of any control system is subject to resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the fact that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Except for the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II –
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In April 2024, an ex-shareholder of Otto Pvt Ltd., an indirect wholly owned Bahamian subsidiary of SSi(“Otto”) commenced litigation in the Bahamas, seeking legal confirmation that it holds 9,000 shares (approximately a 9% interest) in Otto. The litigation, in which Otto is one of the defendants, relates to a purported transaction in 2021, at which time Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and principal shareholder, was the sole shareholder of Otto. The plaintiff in the litigation alleges that at that time, it acquired the 9,000 Otto shares from Dr. Srivastava. However, as the plaintiff failed to pay the agreed upon consideration for the shares, in July 2022, the shareholding was cancelled. Dr. Srivastava along with Otto, has recently filed an action in the Bahamas to confirm the cancellation of the shares and reconfirm their ownership and both actions are pending in the Bahamian courts. The Bahamian court has issued an interim order to maintain the status quo as it stands today with respect to the 9,000 Otto shares at the center of the dispute, as well as Otto’s shareholdings in Sudhir Srivastava Innovations Pvt Ltd. (“SSI-India”), our Indian operating subsidiary and SSI-India’s assets during the pendency of the litigation. Based on legal opinions obtained from counsel, the Company believes that there will be a favorable outcome in this case.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dr. Srivastava and the Company have entered into an Indemnification Agreement on October 12, 2024, pursuant to which Dr. Srivastava has agreed to fully indemnify the Company for any claims, damages and costs (including legal fees) which it incurs in connection with this litigation or in relation to any of his ventures prior to consummation of the Company’s acquisition by merger of CardioVentures, Inc. in April 2023.
