The Advances to suppliers and consultants primarily relate to advances to suppliers in our Life Sciences and Infrastructure segments. Advances for Property, Plant, and, Equipment include an advance paid for the equipment. Prepaid expense and other current assets include approximately $62 thousand of statutory advances as of December 31, 2021, as compared to $36 thousand as of March 31, 2021. Other receivables and deposits as of March 31, 2021, comprised an inventory of $1.7 million that was on deposit with a vendor. The vendor reported the inventory as stolen and filed an insurance claim. The Company created a provision for the $1.7 million inventory during the nine months ended December 31, 2021. We are simultaneously pursuing the vendor for compensation.
