CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are predictive in nature, depend on or refer to future events or conditions, and are sometimes identified by words such as “may,” “could,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “pursue,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “seek,” “potentially,” “will likely result,” “outlook,” “budget,” “objective,” “trend,” or similar expressions of a forward-looking nature and the negative versions of such expressions. The forward-looking information contained in this report is generally located under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” but may be found in other locations as well. The forward-looking statements in this report generally relate to the plans and objectives for future operations of bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. and are based on our management’s reasonable estimates of future results or trends. Although we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable, all forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and our projections and expectations may be incorrect. The factors that may affect our expectations regarding our operations include, among others, the following:

 

	●	our projected financial position and estimated cash burn rate;
	●	our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues, and capital requirements;
	●	the success, cost, and timing of our clinical trials;
	●	our ability to obtain funding for our operations necessary to complete further development and commercialization of our diagnostic tests or therapeutic product candidates;
	●	our dependence on third parties, including the conduct of our clinical trials;
	●	our ability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to market and commercialize our diagnostic tests or therapeutic product candidates;
	●	the potential that the results of our pre-clinical and clinical trials indicate our current diagnostic tests or any future diagnostic tests or therapeutic product candidates we may seek to develop are unsafe or ineffective;
	●	the results of market research conducted by us or others;
	●	our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property (“IP”) protection for our current diagnostic test or future diagnostic tests and therapeutic product candidates;
	●	our ability to protect our IP rights and the potential for us to incur substantial costs from lawsuits to enforce or protect our IP rights;
	●	the possibility that a third party may claim we or our third-party licensors have infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated their IP rights and that we may incur substantial costs and be required to devote substantial time defending against such claims;
	●	the success of competing therapies, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic products that are or will become available;
	●	our ability to expand our organization to accommodate potential growth and to retain and attract key personnel;
	●	our potential to incur substantial costs resulting from product liability lawsuits against us and the potential for such lawsuits to cause us to limit the commercialization of our diagnostic tests and therapeutic product candidates;
	●	market acceptance of our diagnostic test and diagnostic tests in development and therapeutic product candidates, the size and growth of the potential markets for our current diagnostic test, diagnostic tests in development, and therapeutic product candidates, and any future diagnostic tests and therapeutic product candidates we may seek to develop, and our ability to serve those markets;
	●	the successful development of our commercialization capabilities, including sales and marketing capabilities;
	●	compliance with government regulations, including environmental, health, and safety regulations and liabilities thereunder;
	●	the impact of a health epidemic on our business, our clinical trials, our research programs, healthcare systems, or the global economy as a whole;
	●	general instability of economic and political conditions in the United States, including inflationary pressures, increased interest rates, economic slowdown or recession, and escalating geopolitical tensions;

 

 

	●	compliance with government regulations, including environmental, health, and safety regulations, and liabilities thereunder;
	●	anticipated uses of net proceeds from our financings.
	●	the increased expenses associated with being a public company; and
	●	other factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

 

Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties, as well as risks and uncertainties that are currently unknown to us, are, and may be, exacerbated by factors such as the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the war in the Middle East, escalating tensions between China and Taiwan, increasing economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures, and any consequent worsening of the global business and economic environment. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report or any other filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) occur or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements we make herein and therein prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference within it with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and in management’s opinion include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $48.7 million at June 30, 2024. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024, were approximately $0.8 million. Based on the Company’s current expected level of operating expenditures and the cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2024, management concludes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve (12) months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, on August 2, 2024, the Company entered into warrant agreements to existing accredited investors to exercise the current outstanding warrants and issue additional warrants in return. The Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor to purchase common stock shares. Between the warrant and purchase agreements, the Company raised an additional $1.7 million in cash, see Note 15. Subsequent Events. However, the Company may need to raise further capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or other debt instruments, strategic relationships or grants, or other arrangements to support its future operations, if revenue from operations does not significantly increase. If such funding is not available or not available on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company’s current development plan may be curtailed. Furthermore, an alternative source of funding to the sale of additional equity or debt securities is the exercising of outstanding warrants for which there can be no guarantee. No adjustments have been made to the presented condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of this uncertainty.

 

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make 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. Significant estimates include the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets related to the business combination, allowance for contractual adjustments and discounts related to service revenues, and the useful lives of fixed assets.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect its financial statements, those of its wholly owned subsidiaries, and certain variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, OncoSelect^® Therapeutics, LLC and PPLS, and the variable interest entity, Village Oaks. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

 

In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, it applies a qualitative approach that determines whether it has both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. The Company continuously assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in the Company consolidating or deconsolidating one or more of its collaborators or partners.

 

Business Combination

 

On September 18, 2023, the Company, in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement it entered into with Village Oaks and Roby P. Joyce, M.D., dated September 18, 2023, acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Village Oaks in exchange for total consideration of $3,500,000, which consists of: (1) $2.5 million in cash paid at closing and (2) 564,972 shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at $1 million. The assets purchased included a clinical pathology laboratory regulated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and accredited by the College of American Pathologists (“CAP”) and certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (“CLIA”). The primary reason for the acquisition is control of the laboratory in which CyPath^® Lung is ordered and processed.

 

The Company recognized goodwill of $1,404,000 arising from the acquisition. The acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has determined the preliminary fair values of the accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses that make up the majority of the net working capital assumed in the acquisition. These values are subject to change, within a year of the acquisition date of September 18, 2023, as the Company performs additional reviews of its assumptions utilized, and any future period adjustments would impact the consolidated statement of operations post-acquisition.

 

The following table summarizes the purchase price and preliminary purchase price allocations relating to the acquisition:

 SCHEDULE OF PURCHASE PRICE AND PRELIMINARY PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATIONS

Cash		$	2,500,000
Common Stock			1,000,000
Total purchase consideration		$	3,500,000
Assets
Net working capital (including cash)		$	912,000
Property and equipment			326,000
Other assets			8,000
Customer relationships			700,000
Trade names and trademarks			150,000
Goodwill			1,404,000
Total net assets		$	3,500,000

 

Goodwill represents the excess fair value after the allocation to the identifiable net assets. The calculated goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

 

The preliminary purchase price allocations relating to the acquisition previously reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed October 14, 2023, reported net working capital of $1,167,000 and goodwill of $1,149,000. The amounts have been updated to reflect the purchase price adjustments to accounts payable and accounts receivable that existed at the time of the acquisition. The Company incurred and expensed approximately $811,000 in acquisition costs.

 

For prior year comparative purposes, the pro-forma statement of operations as if combined on January 1, 2023, would result in net revenues of $3,631,208, net loss of $(3,765,983) and loss per share of $(0.44) for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

The Company has significant cash balances at financial institutions which throughout the year regularly exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.

 

Advertising Expense

 

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $131,125 and $27,741 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $119,205 and $21,692 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period and the weighted-average number of dilutive Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive Common Stock equivalents are comprised of in-the-money stock options, convertible notes payable, and warrants based on the average stock price for each period using the treasury stock method.

 

 

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, as they would be anti-dilutive:

 SCHEDULE OF POTENTIALLY DILUTIVE SECURITIES

		2024				2023
		As of June 30,
		2024				2023
Shares underlying options outstanding			337,810				806,392
Shares underlying warrants outstanding			8,838,669				4,649,952
Anti-dilutive securities			9,176,479				5,456,344

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes as revenue the amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for goods sold or services rendered primarily upon completion of the testing process (when results are reported) or when services have been rendered.

 

Patient Service Fee Revenue

 

Net revenues from patient service fees accounted for greater than 85% of the Company’s consolidated net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and are primarily comprised of a high volume of relatively low-dollar transactions. The laboratory, which provides clinical testing services and other services, satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues primarily upon completion of the testing process (when results are reported) or when services have been rendered. The Company estimates the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to receive from payer customer groups in exchange for providing services using the portfolio approach. These estimates include the impact of contractual allowances (including payer denials) and patient price concessions. The portfolios determined using the portfolio approach consist of the following groups of payer customers: healthcare insurers, government payers (Medicare and Medicaid programs), client payers and self-pay. Contracts do not contain significant financing components based on the typical period of time between performance of services and collection of consideration.

 

The process for estimating revenues and the ultimate collection of accounts receivable involves significant judgment and estimation. The Company follows a standard process, which considers historical denial and collection experience and other factors (including the period of time that the receivables have been outstanding), to estimate contractual allowances and implicit price concessions, recording adjustments in the current period as changes in estimates. Further adjustments to the allowances, based on actual receipts, may be recorded upon settlement.

 SCHEDULE OF REVENUE RECOGNITION

		2024				2023
		For the six months ended June 30,
		2024				2023
Patient service fees1		$	4,209,955			$	—

Department of Defense observational studies			6,923				—
Other revenues2			23,919				20,659
Total net revenue		$	4,804,043			$	20,659

 

1

Patient services fees include direct billing for CyPath® Lung diagnostic test of approximately $199,000.

 

2

Other revenues include pre-acquisition CyPath® Lung royalty income and laboratory services.

 

Property and Equipment

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, such as property, equipment, and definite-lived intangible assets, to test whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If an asset’s carrying value exceeds such estimated cash flows (undiscounted and with interest charges), the Company records an impairment charge for the difference. The Company did not record any impairment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, or fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Useful lives of each asset class are as follows:

 SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT USEFUL LIFE

Asset Category		Useful Life
Computer equipment		3-5 years
Computer software		3 years
Equipment		3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures		5-7 years
Vehicles		5 years
Leasehold improvements		Lesser of lease term or useful life

 

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, and goodwill are summarized as follows as of June 30, 2024:

 SCHEDULE OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS ADJUSTMENTS

Description		Date Acquired		Useful Life		Cost				Amortization				Net
Goodwill		9/18/2023				$	1,404,486			$	—			$	1,404,486
Trade names and trademarks		9/18/2023		18 years			150,000				(6,527	)			143,473
Customer relationships		9/18/2023		14 years			700,000				(39,167	)			660,833
Total intangible assets, net						$	2,254,486			$	(45,694	)		$	2,298,792

 

The Company incurred amortization of intangible assets of $29,167 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $14,538 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company continues to monitor new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and does not believe any accounting pronouncements issued through the date of this Quarterly Report will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company adopted FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures on December 31, 2023. The Company used the five steps to ASC 280 to evaluate what, if any, segment reporting would be beneficial for shareholders. These five steps included: 1) evaluate operating segments for aggregation, 2) perform quantitative threshold tests, 3) evaluate remaining operating segments for aggregation, 4) ensure that 75% of revenue is reported, and 5) consider practical limit. Based on the analysis above against those five steps, management concludes that segment reporting is required for two segment operations: 1) diagnostic R&D and 2) laboratory services.

 

Segment Information

 

The Company is organized in two operating segments, Diagnostic Research and Development (“R&D”) and Laboratory Services, whereby its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) assesses the performance of and allocates resources. The CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. Diagnostic R&D includes research and development and clinical development on diagnostic tests. Any revenues assigned to Diagnostic R&D are proceeds received from observational studies. Laboratory services include all the operations from Village Oaks and PPLS in addition to sales and marketing costs of CyPath^® Lung from bioAffinity Technologies.

1	The majority of the increase versus the prior year is from the acquisition of Precision Pathology Laboratories Services, LLC on September 18, 2023.

 

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company’s research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for lab operations, preclinical studies, compensation, and consulting costs.

 

The Company incurred research and development expenses of $796,072 and $704,741 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $402,433 and $335,125 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Accrued Research and Development Costs

 

The Company records accrued liabilities for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by service providers, which include preclinical studies. The Company records the estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced and includes these costs in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and within research and development expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company accrues for these costs based on factors such as estimates of the work completed and in accordance with agreements established with service providers. The Company makes significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued expenses balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accrued liabilities. The Company has not experienced any material differences between accrued costs and actual costs incurred since its inception.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

Regulations imposed by federal, state, and local authorities in the United States (“U.S.”) are a significant factor in providing medical care. In the U.S., drugs, biological products, and medical devices are regulated by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), which is administered by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the CMS. The Company has not yet obtained marketing authorization from the FDA but is able to market its CyPath^® Lung test as a laboratory developed test (“LTD”) sold by Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, a CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified clinical pathology laboratory and wholly owned subsidiary.

Other			1,751				19,498
Total accrued expenses		$	969,093			$	1,149,811

 

Note 7. UNEARNED REVENUE

 

The Company engaged in an observational study of CyPath^® Lung with the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”). A total of 70 CyPath^® Lung units were ordered and shipped. However, in compliance with FASB ASC 606, the performance obligation was complete for only 37 units as of June 30, 2024. The performance obligation is deemed complete after samples have been collected, processed, analyzed, and results communicated to patients. The unearned revenue balance amounted to $26,135 and $33,058 as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Note 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the FASB accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and loan payable, are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Note 9. LEASES

 

The Company has one operating lease for its real estate and office space for the CAP/CLIA laboratory, as well as multiple finance leases for lab equipment in Texas that were acquired through the September 18, 2023 acquisition. The operating lease has a remaining lease term of 3.08 years as of June 30, 2024. The Company has finance leases consisting of office and lab equipment with remaining lease terms ranging from approximately 1.75 to 3.50 years as of June 30, 2024, for which the Company has determined that it will use the equipment for a major part of its remaining economic life.

 

The lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate. Therefore, the Company used a benchmark approach as of September 18, 2023, to derive an appropriate incremental borrowing rate to discount remaining lease payments. The Company benchmarked itself against other companies of similar credit ratings and comparable quality and derived imputed interest rates ranging from 8.02% to 8.07% for the lease term lengths.

 

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. There are no material residual guarantees associated with any of the Company’s leases, and there are no significant restrictions or covenants included in the Company’s lease agreements. Certain leases include variable payments related to common area maintenance and property taxes, which are billed by the landlord, as is customary with these types of charges for office space. The Company has not entered into any lease arrangements with related parties, and the Company is not the sublessor in any arrangement.

 

The Company’s existing leases contain escalation clauses and renewal options. The Company has evaluated several factors in assessing whether there is reasonable certainty that the Company will exercise a contractual renewal option. For leases with renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, the Company included the renewal term in the total lease term used in calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability.

 

 

The components of lease expense, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, are as follows:

Note 14. WARRANTS

 

The Company’s outstanding Common Stock warrants are equity classified. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had 8,838,717 and 4,649,952 warrants outstanding to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock for each warrant at a weighted average exercise price of $3.53 and expire at various dates through March 2029. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, 48 warrants were exercised into an equivalent number of Common Shares as compared to zero warrants being exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

On March 8, 2024, the Company issued to certain investors (i) in a registered direct offering, 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $1.64 (collectively, the “Transaction”), which Transaction constitutes a Dilutive Issuance under the terms of the warrants. In addition, the placement agent was granted warrants to purchase 32,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $1.64.

 

The following table summarizes the calculated aggregate fair values for the warrant derivative liability using the Black-Scholes method based on the following assumptions for the March 8, 2024 Direct Offering:

 

SUMMARY OF AGGREGATE FAIR VALUES FOR THE WARRANT DERIVATIVE LIABILITY 

Exercise price per share of warrant		$	1.64
Fair market closing price per share of Common Stock		$	1.56
Volatility			132	%
Expected term (years)			5
Risk-free interest rate			4.06	%
Dividend yield			0	%

 

Section 3(b) of the Warrant Agreement executed during the IPO in September 2022 provides that in the event of a Dilutive Issuance, the exercise price of the warrants shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the effective price per share of the Dilutive Issuance (the “Base Share Price”), and the number of warrant shares issuable thereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable pursuant to the warrant, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment, provided that the Base Share Price shall not be less than $3.0625 (50% of the public offering price of the Units sold in the Company’s IPO) (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, recapitalizations, and similar transactions).

 

The effect of the Transaction was such that the exercise price of the warrants was reduced to $3.0625 per share. The new number of warrant shares was calculated by dividing (x) the number of warrant shares underlying the warrant immediately prior to the Transaction multiplied by the exercise price in effect immediately prior to the Transaction, by (y) $3.0625. The calculations was made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share.

 

As of June 30, 2024, and prior to the Transaction, there were tradeable warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,601,259 shares of Common Stock outstanding and non-tradeable warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,704,506 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 SCHEDULE OF CLASS OF WARRANT

		Number of warrants issued				Weighted-average exercise price				Number of warrants exercised				Number of warrants outstanding
Pre-IPO convertible notes			2,900,904			$	5.31				—				2,900,904
IPO tradeable			2,326,834				3.06				(725,576	)			1,601,259
IPO non-tradeable			3,015,464				3.06				(310,958	)			2,704,506
Direct offering March 8, 2024			1,600,000				1.64				—				1,600,000
Placement agent direct offering March 8, 2024			32,000				1.64				—				32,000
Balance at June 30, 2024			9,875,202			$	3.53				(1,036,534	)			8,838,669

 

Note 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into warrant exercise agreements with three existing accredited investors to exercise certain outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,041,667 of the Company’s shares of Common Stock (the “Existing Warrants”). In consideration for the immediate exercise in full of the Existing Warrants for gross cash proceeds of approximately $1,302,083, the exercising holders received in a private placement new unregistered warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,302,082 shares of Common Stock (equal to 125% of the shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise of the Existing Warrants) with an exercise price of $1.50 per share and are initially exercisable on the date that stockholder approval of the exercise of the New Warrants is obtained and will expire five years from the date of such approval. In connection with the exercise of the Existing Warrants, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of the Existing Warrants from $1.64 to $1.25 per share. The exercise of the Existing Warrants and the issuance of the New Warrants occurred on August 5, 2024.

 

On August 2, 2024, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchaser, (i) in a registered direct offering, 360,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, warrants (the “Private Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price of $1.50 (collectively, the “Offering”). The Company received aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering of approximately $450,000, before deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

This section presents management’s perspective on our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis (the “MD&A”) is intended to highlight and supplement data and information presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the discussion under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The MD&A is also intended to provide you with information that will assist you in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in key items in those consolidated financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes. To the extent that this discussion describes prior performance, the descriptions relate only to the periods listed, which may not be indicative of our future financial outcomes. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause the Company’s financial results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this Quarterly Report and in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Data as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, has been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing at the beginning of this Quarterly Report. Results for any interim period should not be construed as an inference of what our results would be for any full fiscal year or future period.

 

Our MD&A is organized as follows:

 

	●	Company Overview – Discussion of our business plan and strategy to provide context for the remainder of the MD&A.
	●	Results of Operations – Analysis of our financial results comparing the six months and three months ended June 30, 2024, to the comparable period in 2023.
	●	Liquidity and Capital Resources – Analysis of changes in our cash flows and discussion of our financial condition and potential sources of liquidity.
	●	Critical Accounting Estimates – Accounting estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results and forecasts.

 

Company Overview

 

Business

 

bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “bioAffinity Technologies,” “we,” or “our”) develops noninvasive diagnostics to detect early-stage lung cancer and other diseases of the lung. We also are conducting early-stage research focused on advancing therapeutic discoveries that could result in broad-spectrum cancer treatments. We have developed a proprietary noninvasive diagnostic test using technology that identifies cancer cells and cell populations indicative of a diseased state for analysis using proprietary platforms developed using AI. Research and optimization of our platform technologies are conducted in laboratories at our wholly owned subsidiary, Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, LLC (“PPLS”), and The University of Texas at San Antonio.

 

Our diagnostic test, CyPath^® Lung, addresses the need for noninvasive detection of early-stage lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Physicians are able to order CyPath^® Lung to assist in their assessment of patients who are at high risk for lung cancer. The CyPath^® Lung test enables physicians to more confidently distinguish between patients who will likely benefit from timely intervention and more invasive follow-up procedures from patients who are likely without lung cancer and should continue annual screening. CyPath^® Lung has the potential to increase overall diagnostic accuracy of lung cancer, which could lead to increased survival, fewer unnecessary invasive procedures, reduced patient anxiety, and lower medical costs.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, OncoSelect^® Therapeutics, LLC, our research has led to discoveries and advancement of novel cancer therapeutic approaches that specifically and selectively target cancer cells. We are focused on expanding our broad-spectrum platform technologies to develop tests that detect and therapies that target various types of cancer and potentially other diseases.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary PPLS, we acquired the assets of Village Oaks Pathology Services, P.A., a Texas professional association d/b/a Precision Pathology Services, including the clinical pathology laboratory it owned, and we now operate the laboratory.

 

Recent Developments

 

On August 2, 2024 we entered into warrant exercise agreements with three existing accredited investors to exercise certain outstanding warrants (the “Existing Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,041,667 of shares of common stock, par value $0.007 per share (the “Common Stock”). In consideration for the immediate exercise in full of the Existing Warrants for gross cash proceeds of approximately $1,302,083, the exercising holders received in a private placement new unregistered warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,302,083 shares of Common Stock (equal to 125% of the shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise of the Existing Warrants) with an exercise price of $1.50 per share and are initially exercisable on the date that stockholder approval of the exercise of the New Warrants is obtained and will expire five years from the date of such approval. In connection with the exercise of the Existing Warrants, we agreed to reduce the exercise price of the Existing Warrants from $1.64 to $1.25 per share. The exercise of the Existing Warrants and the issuance of the New Warrants occurred on August 5, 2024.

 

On August 2, 2024, we also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which we issued to the Purchaser, (i) in a registered direct offering, 360,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, warrants (the “Private Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price of $1.50 (collectively, the “Offering”). We received aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering of approximately $450,000, before deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

 

Financial

 

To date, we have devoted a substantial portion of our efforts and financial resources to the development of our diagnostic test, CyPath^® Lung. As a result, since our inception in 2014, we have funded our operations principally through private sales of our equity or debt securities. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million. As of August 9, 2024, after taking into account the August 2024 financing transactions, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.5 million, which we expect will not support our operations beyond October.

 

Prior to the acquisition, Village Oaks, under the trade name Precision Pathology Services, had licensed and developed CyPath^® Lung as an LDT for sale to physicians. The license agreement provided that revenues from the sale would be split evenly between the Company and Village Oaks. In the second quarter of 2022, prior to the acquisition, we started to recognize revenue as part of a limited beta market testing program of the CyPath^® Lung test. We have never been profitable, and as of June 30, 2024, we had total working capital of $26,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $48.7 million. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our diagnostic tests and advance our diagnostic tests through clinical trials; however, we do expect revenue to increase due to the acquisition. We intend to license our therapeutic products for clinical development should animal and pre-clinical studies prove successful.

 

We anticipate raising additional cash needed through the private or public sales of equity or debt securities, collaborative arrangements, or a combination thereof to continue to fund our operations and develop our products. There is no assurance that any such collaborative arrangement will be entered into or that financing will be available to us when needed in order to allow us to continue our operations or, if available, on terms acceptable to us. If we do not raise sufficient funds in a timely manner, we may be forced to curtail operations, delay our clinical trials, cease operations altogether, or file for bankruptcy.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

 

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was approximately $2.1 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Revenue

 

Post-acquisition, additional revenue streams have been consolidated starting September 19, 2023. PPLS generates three sources of revenue: (1) patient service fees, (2) histology service fees, and (3) medical director fees. Pre-acquisition, bioAffinity Technologies’ revenue was generated in three ways: (1) royalties from the Company’s diagnostic test, CyPath^® Lung, (2) clinical flow cytometry services provided to Village Oaks related to the Company’s CyPath^® Lung test, and (3) CyPath^® Lung tests purchased by the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”) for an observational study, “Detection of Abnormal Respiratory Cell Populations in Lung Cancer Screening Patients Using the CyPath^® Lung Assay (NCT05870592),” and research and development on using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid as a biological sample to assess cardiopulmonary function and exercise performance in military personnel post-COVID-19 infection. The royalty income from CyPath^® Lung and clinical flow cytometry services income, beginning September 19, 2023, are related party income and, therefore, eliminated from consolidated net revenues. See net revenue summarized in the table below.

 

		For the three months ended June 30,
		2024				2023
Patient service fees1		$	2,060,906			$	—

Total net revenue		$	2,397,652			$	19,738

 

¹ Patient services fees include direct billing for CyPath^® Lung diagnostic test.

² Other revenues include pre-acquisition CyPath^® Lung royalty income and laboratory services.

 

Operating Expenses

		2024				2023				$				%
Operating expenses:
Direct costs and expenses		$	1,407,710			$	1,234			$	1,406,476				113,977	%

Total operating expenses		$	4,485,450			$	1,798,088			$	2,687,362				149	%

 

Operating expenses totaled approximately $4.5 million and $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in operating expenses is the result of the following factors:

 

Direct costs and expenses

 

Our direct costs and expenses are primarily direct labor for pathology services, laboratory supplies and reagents, laboratory equipment, and allocated shared facilities. Direct costs and expenses totaled $1.4 million and $1,234 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $1.4 million for 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily attributable to the laboratory operations of the newly acquired PPLS in 2024 that did not exist in 2023.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for lab operations, preclinical and clinical studies, compensation, and consulting costs.

 

Research and development expenses totaled $402,433 and $335,125 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $67,000, or 20%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to an increase in compensation costs and benefits as we added research personnel, as well as a related increase in costs for lab supplies and reagents.

 

Clinical Development

 

Clinical development expenses totaled $51,462 and $35,260 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $16,000, or 46%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation costs and benefits as we added clinical development personnel.

 

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenditures related to employee compensation, selling and marketing costs, legal, accounting and tax, other professional services, and general operating expenses.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $2.5 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $1.1 million, or 76%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to acquired general and administrative costs from PPLS and an increase in employee compensation related to administrative and sales due to additional personnel and support services to support the launch of sales of our diagnostic test, CyPath^® Lung.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled $151,070 and $21,552 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $130,000, or 601% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to the acquired assets from PPLS during the prior year acquisition.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income (expense), net totaled ($17,062) and $42,764 for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in the other income of $59,826 is mostly attributable to a reduction in interest income of $38,938 which is due to lower cash balance in money market savings account, and an increase in interest expense of $20,889 related to equipment finance lease from the acquired PPLS lab as compared to the same period last year.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

 

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was approximately $4.1 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Revenue

 

Post-acquisition, additional revenue streams have been consolidated starting September 19, 2023. PPLS generates three sources of revenue: (1) patient service fees, (2) histology service fees, and (3) medical director fees. Pre-acquisition, bioAffinity Technologies’ revenue was generated in three ways: (1) royalties from the Company’s diagnostic test, CyPath^® Lung, (2) clinical flow cytometry services provided to Village Oaks related to the Company’s CyPath^® Lung test, and (3) CyPath^® Lung tests purchased by the DOD for an observational study, “Detection of Abnormal Respiratory Cell Populations in Lung Cancer Screening Patients Using the CyPath^® Lung Assay (NCT05870592),” and research and development on using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid as a biological sample to assess cardiopulmonary function and exercise performance in military personnel post-COVID-19 infection. The royalty income from CyPath^® Lung and clinical flow cytometry services income, beginning September 19, 2023, are related party income and, therefore, eliminated from consolidated net revenues. See net revenue summarized in the table below.

Operating expenses totaled approximately $8.8 million and $3.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in operating expenses is the result of the following factors:

 

Direct costs and expenses

 

Our direct costs and expenses are primarily direct labor for pathology services, laboratory supplies and reagents, laboratory equipment, and allocated shared facilities. Direct costs and expenses totaled $2,981,151 and $1,322 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $3.0 million for 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily attributable to the laboratory operations of the newly acquired PPLS in 2024 that did not exist in 2023.

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for lab operations, preclinical and clinical studies, compensation, and consulting costs.

 

Research and development expenses totaled $796,072 and $704,742 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $91,000, or 13%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to an increase in compensation costs and benefits as we added research personnel, as well as a related increase in costs for lab supplies and reagents.

 

Clinical Development

 

Clinical development expenses totaled $100,422 and $54,888 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $46,000, or 83%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation costs and benefits as we added clinical development personnel.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenditures related to employee compensation, selling and marketing costs, legal, accounting and tax, other professional services, and general operating expenses.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $4.7 million and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $2.1 million, or 82%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to acquired general and administrative costs from PPLS and an increase in employee compensation related to administrative and sales due to additional personnel and support services to support the launch of sales of our diagnostic test, CyPath^® Lung.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income (expense), net totaled ($29,975) and $79,763 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The decrease in the other income of approximately $110,000 is mostly attributable to a reduction in interest income of $71,465 which is due to lower cash balance in money market savings account, and an increase in interest expense of $42,784 related to equipment finance lease from the acquired PPLS lab as compared to the same period last year.

 

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled $300,707 and $43,236 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $257,000, or 596% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to the acquired assets from PPLS during the prior year acquisition.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

 

To date, we have funded our operations primarily through our IPO, subsequent registered direct offering, exercise of warrants, and the sale of our securities, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $38.5 million. We have evaluated whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

We have incurred losses since our inception in 2014 as a result of significant expenditures for operations and research and development and, prior to April 2022, the lack of any approved diagnostic test or therapeutic products to generate revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had net losses of $2.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and we expect to incur substantial additional losses in future periods. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $48.7 million as of June 30, 2024. Despite our recent financings in August 2024, pursuant to which we raised gross proceeds of approximately $1.7 million, we believe our current cash and anticipated revenue from operations will not be sufficient to support our operations beyond November 2024. Based on the Company’s current expected level of operating expenditures, current expected levels of revenue, and the cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2024, of $0.8 million, management concludes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve (12) months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We need to raise further capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or other debt instruments, strategic relationships or grants, or through exercised outstanding warrants to support our future operations unless our revenue increases significantly. Our business plan includes expansion for our commercialization efforts which will require additional funding. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue and raise capital from financing transactions. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing these objectives.

 

We continue to seek sources of financing to fund our continued operations and research and development programs. To raise additional capital, we may sell additional equity or debt securities, or enter into collaborative, strategic, and/or licensing transactions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any financing transaction in a timely manner or on acceptable terms or otherwise enter into a collaborative or strategic transaction. If we are not able to raise additional cash, we may be forced to delay, curtail, or cease development of our diagnostic tests or therapeutic products, or cease operations altogether.

 

Summary Statements of Cash Flows

 

The following information reflects cash flows for the periods presented:

 

		Six Months Ended
		June 30,
		2024				2023
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		$	2,821,570			$	11,413,759
Net cash used in operating activities			(3,878,400	)			(2,888,990	)
Net cash used in investing activities			(69,672	)			(36,175	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities			1,927,813				(209,412	)
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period		$	801,311			$	8,279,182

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.9 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $1.0 million in cash used by operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $370,000 in our loss from operations and an increase in patient accounts receivables of $700,000 due to a change in external professional medical billing providers effective March 1, 2024. The transition period from the previous to the new medical billing provider has caused a temporary delay in billing and deposits, as anticipated.

 

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

The Company used approximately $70,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, in investing activities related primarily to the purchase of computer and lab equipment, compared to approximately $36,000 cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Financing Activities

 

Cash provided in financing activities was approximately $1.9 million compared to cash used in financing activities of approximately $210,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in proceeds from prior year was primarily related to net proceeds from the direct offering of common stock securities for $2.5 million on March 8, 2024.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with third-party contract organizations for clinical trials and other services and products used for research and development and operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination following a certain period after notice, and therefore we believe that any non-cancelable obligations under these agreements are not material.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make significant judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable based upon information presently available. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.

 

Patient Fee Revenues

 

We follow ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires revenue recognition in the period in which the service was performed. To be able to report timely net revenues for the period, estimates are used for a portion of uncollected balances. These estimates relate to third-party historical contractual discounts and adjustments (e.g., insurance providers) and patient historical uncollectible amounts. There can be a significant delay from the time a patient has been serviced to the invoicing of that service and collection of net proceeds. Historical data is used to determine estimates for those “in service” revenues that have not been billed or collected at the reporting period.

 

Patient Fee Receivables and Considerations for Credit Losses

 

We follow accounting considerations of CECL - Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. With the acquisition of PPLS and control of Village Oaks, the Company’s board-certified pathologists provide anatomic and clinical pathology services for patients and other customers. The Company’s other customer types include contract research organizations (“CROs”), hospitals, and independent laboratories. The Company enters into contracts with its customers for these services. The majority of the Company’s revenues stem from fees for services provided to patients, and thus in those arrangements the patient is the customer, although the services may be requested by a physician on the patient’s behalf. Furthermore, in addition to its contracts with patients, the Company separately contracts with third-party payers (insurance companies and governmental payers), who are typically responsible for all or the majority of the fees agreed upon for such services provided to patients. Historically, material amounts of gross charges are not collected due to various agreements with insurance companies, capped pricing levels for government payers, and uncollectible balances from individual payers. To estimate these allowances of credit losses, the Company assesses the portfolio risk segments and historical data on collection rates. These estimated allowances offset patient revenues and accounts receivables.

 

Discount Rate for Finance Leased Equipment

 

We follow ASC 842, Leases, under which a lessee is required to recognize most leases on its balance sheet. The Company has elected to apply a third-party valuation increment borrowing rate (“IBR”) as the discount rate by class of underlying assets when the rate is not implicit in the lease.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We follow ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors, and non-employees based on estimated fair values. We have used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate grant date fair value for all option grants. The assumptions we use in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. Since we use different assumptions based on a change in factors, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

 

Accounting for Income Taxes

 

We are governed by U.S. income tax laws, which are administered by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). We follow ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which the related temporary difference becomes deductible.

 

 

Going Concern

 

Our evaluation of our ability to continue as a going concern requires us to evaluate our future sources and uses of cash sufficient to fund our currently expected operations and research and development activities one year from the date our consolidated financial statements are issued. We evaluate the probability associated with each source and use of cash resources in making our going concern determination. The research and development of our diagnostic tests and therapeutic products are inherently subject to uncertainty.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not engage in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, as a part of our ongoing business. Accordingly, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during any of the periods presented.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are both an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and are therefore subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified under the rules of the SEC. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of June 30, 2024, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. Based on their assessment, they have concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2024, the period covered by this Quarterly Report, that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

From time to time, we are involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. To date, we have had no material pending legal proceedings, and we are not engaged in any legal proceedings that are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in the 2023 Form 10-K, for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial might materially adversely affect our actual business, financial condition, and operating results. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our 2023 Form 10-K. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Risks Related to Our Financial Position

 

Our business plan relies upon our ability to obtain additional sources of capital and financing. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may be required to cease operations.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023 we generated revenue of approximately $4.8 million and $20,659, respectively and for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we generated revenue of approximately $2.5 million and $5,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, we generated $4.2 million from laboratory patient services (of which approximately $207,000 related to our first diagnostic test, CyPath^® Lung), approximately $530,000 from histology laboratory tests, approximately $33,000 from medical director fees, and approximately $7,000 in connection with CyPath^® Lung tests purchased by the DOD for an observational study. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we generated $2.2 million from laboratory patient services (of which approximately $37,000 related to our first diagnostic test, CyPath^® Lung), approximately $273,000 from histology laboratory tests, approximately $19,000 from medical director fees, and approximately $19,000 in connection with CyPath^® Lung tests purchased by the DOD for an observational study.

 

To become and remain profitable, we must succeed in generating additional laboratory revenue and developing and commercializing our diagnostic tests and therapeutic products that we expect will generate significant income in the planned timeframe. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including completing preclinical testing and clinical trials of our diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, obtaining regulatory approval for our diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, manufacturing, marketing, and selling any diagnostic tests and therapeutic products for which we may obtain regulatory approval, and establishing and managing our collaborations at various phases of each diagnostic test and therapeutic product candidate’s development. We are in the preliminary phases of these activities. We may never succeed in these activities and, even if we do, may never generate sufficient income to achieve profitability.

 

To become profitable, we must develop our diagnostic tests and therapeutic products, which will depend in large part on our ability to:

 

	●	Develop, enhance, and protect our diagnostic tests and therapeutic products;
	●	Raise sufficient funding to support our diagnostic tests and therapeutic product development program(s);
	●	Complete pre-clinical testing;

 

 

	●	Work with our partners to expand commercialization of our first diagnostic test, CyPath® Lung, as an LDT under the CAP/CLIA guidelines and regulations administered by CMS and CAP;
	●	Obtain de novo classification from FDA for our CyPath® Lung as a Class II in vitro diagnostic;
	●	Work with our partners to develop and commercialize our first diagnostic test, CyPath® Lung, as a CE-marked test in accordance with the In Vitro Diagnostic Device Regulation (the “IVDR”) of the EU;
	●	Synthesize, test, and attract licensing partners for drug conjugates, siRNAs, and other therapeutics (and methods for their use) developed by us;
	●	Develop and conduct human clinical studies to support the regulatory approval and marketing of our diagnostic test(s) and therapeutic product(s);
	●	Develop and manufacture the test(s) and product(s) to FDA standards, appropriate EU standards, and appropriate standards required for the commercialization of our tests and products in countries in which we seek to sell our diagnostic test(s) and therapeutic product(s);
	●	Obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to market our diagnostic test(s) and therapeutic product(s);
	●	Secure the necessary personnel and infrastructure to support the development, commercialization, and marketing of our diagnostic test(s) and therapeutic product(s); and
	●	Develop strategic relationships to support development, manufacturing, and marketing of our diagnostic test(s) and therapeutic product(s).

 

Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to become and remain profitable would depress the value of our Company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, maintain the research and development efforts, diversify our diagnostic tests and therapeutic product offerings, or even continue our operations. A decline in the value of our Company could also cause our investors to lose all or part of their investment.

 

We must raise additional capital to fund our operations in order to continue as a going concern.

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $48.7 million. As of August 9, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were 1.5 million. Despite our recent financings, we will need to raise further capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or other debt instruments, strategic relationships or grants, or other arrangements to support our future operations. Our business plan includes expansion for our commercialization efforts which will require additional funding. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue and raise capital from financing transactions. Without funding from the proceeds of a capital raise or strategic relationship or grant, management anticipates that our cash resources are sufficient to continue operations through October 2024. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of new business opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. Without such additional capital, we may be required to curtail or cease operations and be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment. WithumSmith+Brown, PC, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, has included an explanatory paragraph in its opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We are unable to precisely estimate when we will begin to generate significant profit from revenue, if ever, from PPLS’ services, nor to estimate the amount of profit or revenue that will be generated or the expenses that will be incurred.

 

We do not expect to immediately derive profit from revenue from PPLS’ services. Since its acquisition in September 2023, we have generated $7.1 million in revenue from PPLS. Once we begin to generate such profit, there is no guarantee that it will be sufficient to realize the expected financial benefits of the acquisition. In addition, since we have limited experience operating a clinical laboratory, we may not accurately estimate the expenses we will incur.

 

 

Our failure to file a registration statement to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants that we issued in August 2024, or to timely hold a stockholders’ meeting to obtain stockholder approval of the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the warrants that we issued in August 2024, will result in a breach of the terms of certain agreements.

 

Pursuant to the terms of certain agreements that we entered into with certain purchasers and the financial advisor/ placement agent in August 2024, we are obligated to file a registration statement to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to such purchasers and designees of the financial advisor/ placement agent within 45 days of the date of such agreement and to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective at all times while the purchasers or designees of the financial advisor/ placement agent own any warrants or shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. We are also obligated to hold a stockholders’ meeting 90 days after the closing date and, if approval is not obtained at the shareholders meeting, every six months thereafter seeking approval of the exercise of the warrants issued to the purchasers. The failure to take any of these actions will constitute a default under the operative agreement.

 

Our management collectively owns a substantial percentage of our Common Stock.

 

Based on the provisions for determining beneficial ownership in accordance with Rule 13d-3 and Item 403 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, immediately after this Offering, our officers and directors will own or exercise control of approximately 27% of the voting power of our outstanding Common Stock. As a result, investors may be prevented from affecting matters involving our Company, including:

 

	●	the composition of our Board and, through it, any determination with respect to our business direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of officers;
	●	any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations;
	●	our acquisition or disposition of assets; and
	●	our corporate financing activities.

 

Furthermore, this concentration of voting power could have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change of control or other business combination that might otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders. This significant concentration of share ownership may also adversely affect the trading price for our Common Stock because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning stock in a company that is controlled by a small number of stockholders.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

We did not sell any equity securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act other than as previously disclosed in our filings with the SEC.

 

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
