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 in 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 tests or future diagnostic
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;
●
our
reliance on third parties;
●
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 tests and therapeutic product candidates, the size and growth of the potential markets for our current
diagnostic tests 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
ultimate impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, or any other 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;
●
our
anticipated uses of net proceeds from our initial public offering (“IPO”);
●
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, escalating tensions between China and Taiwan, increasing economic
uncertainty and inflationary pressures, the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of new viral variants, 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.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, ORGANIZATION, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description
of Business
bioAffinity
Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), addresses the need for
noninvasive diagnosis of early-stage cancer and diseases of the lung and for targeted cancer treatment. Our Company develops proprietary
noninvasive diagnostic tests and cancer therapeutics using technology that preferentially targets cancer cells and cell populations indicative
of a diseased state. Our first diagnostic test, CyPath ® Lung, is a noninvasive test for early detection of lung cancer,
the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Research and optimization of our proprietary platform for in vitro diagnostics and
technologies are conducted in our laboratories at The University of Texas at San Antonio. We are developing our platform technologies
so that, in the future, they will be able to detect, monitor, and treat diseases of the lung and other cancers.
Organization
and Initial Public Offering
The
Company was formed on March 26, 2014 as a Delaware corporation with its corporate offices located in San Antonio, Texas. On June 15,
2016, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, OncoSelect ® Therapeutics, LLC, as a Delaware limited liability company.
On
September 6, 2022, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 1,282,600 units (the “Units”)
at an offering price of $ 6.125 per Unit (the “Offering Price”). Each Unit consists of (i) one share of the Company’s
common stock, par value $ 0.007 per share (“Common Stock”), (ii) one tradeable warrant (a “Tradeable Warrant”)
exercisable for the purchase of one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 7.35 per share, and (iii) one non-tradeable warrant
(a “Non-tradeable Warrant”) exercisable for the purchase of one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 7.656 per
share . The sale of Units in the IPO generated gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $ 7.8 million before deducting underwriting
discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital
and for general corporate purposes, including product and test development, general and administrative matters, and capital expenditures.
In
connection with the closing of the IPO (the “IPO Closing”), the Company converted 5,296,044 shares of the convertible preferred
stock into 756,558 shares of Common Stock (“Common Shares”). Additionally, the Company converted approximately $ 10.6 million
in convertible notes, bridge notes and related accrued interest into 2,533,964 Common Shares.
In
June 2022, the Company completed a 1-for-7 reverse stock split of its Common Stock. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted
on a retroactive basis in these condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split. In addition,
the stock split resulted in the par value of the Company’s Common Stock increasing to $ 0.007 per share.

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 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. Operating
results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2022 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 our final IPO prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”) on September 2, 2022 (the “Final Prospectus”).
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 consolidated financial statements are issued.
7
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 $ 35.0 million at September
30, 2022. Our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2022 were approximately $ 13.5 million, representing 96 % of our total assets.
Based on our current expected level of operating expenditures, the Company believes its cash on hand at September 30, 2022 is sufficient
to fund the Company’s ongoing operations for a period of a least twelve (12) months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Thereafter, 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 such funding is not available, or not available on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company’s current development plan may
be curtailed.
COVID-19
The
rapid global spread of the COVID-19 virus since December 2019 has affected production and sales worldwide, disrupted supply chains across
a range of industries, and created significant economic volatility. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial
performance will depend on numerous factors, including the spread, duration, and intensity of the pandemic (including resurgences), the
emergence of new viral variants, and the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s customers, employees, clinical trial sites, and
vendors.
As
the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company’s operations is highly uncertain
and subject to change and will depend on future developments, which cannot be accurately predicted, including the duration of the pandemic,
additional or modified government actions, and the actions taken to contain COVID-19 or address its impact, among others. Management
does not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on the Company, clinical trials, research programs, healthcare systems
or the global economy but continues to monitor the situation closely.
Note
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 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 fair value of the Company’s Common Stock used to measure stock-based compensation
for options granted to employees and non-employees; the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets; and the fair
value of the convertible notes payable.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, OncoSelect ®
Therapeutics, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Deferred
Offering Costs
The
Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting and other third-party fees that are directly related to the Company’s equity financings,
including its IPO, until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction
of the proceeds received as a result of the financing. The Company capitalized certain legal, accounting and other third-party fees that
were directly related to the Company’s IPO. After the completion of the IPO in September 2022, total deferred offering costs of
approximately $ 1.8 million were offset against the proceeds from the IPO and reclassified to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying
condensed balance sheets. At December 31, 2021, deferred offering costs totaling approximately $ 8,000 were included as non-current assets
in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.
Loss
Per Share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number
of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common
stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period and the weighted-average number
of dilutive Common Share equivalents outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive Common Share 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.
8
The
following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding as of September
30, 2022 and 2021, as they would be anti-dilutive:

Revenue
Recognition
Our
revenue is generated exclusively from royalties for our first diagnostic test, CyPath ® Lung, from sales by Precision Pathology
Services, a CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified clinical pathology laboratory and our licensee, that began a limited market launch in the
second quarter of 2022 to pulmonologists in the San Antonio, Texas, area designed to refine future positioning and develop strategic
insight for our CyPath ® Lung test. The services are completed upon release of a patient’s test result to the ordering
healthcare provider.
To
determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance
obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in
the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12). ASU
2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve
consistency in application. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December
15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 and concluded there is no impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No.
2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s
Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies
the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate embedded conversion features from the host contract
when the conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do
not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. By removing the separation model, a convertible debt instrument
will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This new standard also
removes certain settlement conditions that are required for contracts to qualify for equity classification and simplifies the diluted
earnings per share calculations by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement
be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2023 for smaller reporting companies. The Company has not yet determined the potential impact the adoption may have on our consolidated
financial statements.

6. LOAN PAYABLE
In
March 2021, the Company received a second U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program
(“PPP”) Loan for $ 0.2
million bearing interest at a one percent ( 1.0 %)
fixed annual rate, and will mature in two
years , and is eligible for forgiveness under certain conditions. In light of the technical two-year nature of the loan, the
Company presented a portion of the PPP balance as a current liability. In April 2022, the Company received forgiveness from the SBA.
The Company recorded a gain of $ 0.2
million on the extinguishment of debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations in each of the nine months
ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
In
September 2022, the Company obtained short-term financing of approximately $ 0.5 million with ten monthly payments of approximately $ 42,000
and interest at a 4.3 % fixed annual rate for director and officer insurance policies.
Note
7. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
In
September 2022, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Company converted approximately $ 10.6
million in convertible notes, bridge notes and related accrued interest into 2,533,964
shares of Common Stock.
From
August 2018 through July 2020, the Company issued a total of $ 5.0 million in notes payable, including $ 2.6 million to related parties,
which were convertible into the next class of equity securities in which the Company issued and sold equity securities with aggregate
gross proceeds of at least $ 5.0 million. The conversion price was determinable as seventy percent ( 70 %) multiplied by the per share purchase
price for the next equity financing. Additionally, provided no equity financing had occurred, and the note was still outstanding, the
noteholder could elect to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a
price of $ 6.62 per share. The convertible notes payable had a maturity date of December 31, 2020 , and bore interest at 8 % annually, and
was secured by the intellectual property of the Company. The Company obtained the necessary noteholder approvals to extend the maturity
date of the notes in November 2021 to May 31, 2022, and in May 2022 to August 2022. In July 2022, the Company obtained approval from
a majority of the noteholders to extend the maturity date from August 31, 2022, to October 31, 2022 for certain bridge notes in exchange
for a Common Stock purchase warrant equal to the principal amount of each note divided by 10.5 . As a result, the Company issued warrants
to purchase 478,446 shares of Common Stock at a price of $ 5.25 per share. See Note 12 for additional disclosures related to warrants.
Upon completion of the IPO, the notes automatically converted into shares of Common Stock. Conversion of the note at the IPO Closing
extinguished this security and resulted in the Company wholly owning all its intellectual property without a security interest.
10
From
October 2020 through June 2021, the Company issued a total of $ 1.0
million in notes payable, including $ 0.4
million to related parties, which were convertible into the next class of equity securities in which the Company issued and sold
equity securities with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $ 5.0
million. The conversion price was determinable as eighty percent ( 80 %)
multiplied by the per share purchase price for the next equity financing. Additionally, provided no equity financing had occurred,
and the note was still outstanding, the noteholder could elect to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares
of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $ 6.62
per share. The convertible notes payable bore interest at 8 %
annually and had a maturity date in October
2021 . The
Company obtained the necessary noteholder approvals to extend the maturity date of the notes in December 2021 to May 2022 and in May
2022 to August 2022. In July 2022, the Company obtained approval from a majority of the noteholders to extend the maturity date from
August 31, 2022, to October 31, 2022 for certain bridge notes in exchange for a Common Stock purchase warrant equal to the principal
amount of each note divided by 10.5 . As a result, the Company issued warrants to purchase 79,795
shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $ 5.25
per share. See Note 12 for additional disclosures related to warrants. Upon completion of the IPO, the $ 0.9
million of the notes automatically converted into shares of Common Stock. In October 2022, the Company repaid $ 100,000
for the note that was not converted at the time of the Company’s IPO.
In
the second and third quarters of 2021, the Company issued a total of approximately $ 0.9 million in additional notes payable, including
$ 0.1 million to related parties, which were convertible into the next class of equity securities in which the Company issued and sold
equity securities with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $ 5.0 million. The conversion price was determinable as eighty percent ( 80 %)
multiplied by the per share purchase price for the next equity financing. Additionally, provided no equity financing had occurred, and
the note was still outstanding, the noteholder could elect to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the
Company’s Common Stock at a price of $ 6.62 per share. The terms provided that upon completion of a bridge financing sufficient
to provide working capital to complete an IPO, the notes would be convertible into the Company’s equity securities on the same
terms as the conversion feature established in the bridge financing. The convertible notes payable had a maturity date in December 2022
and bore interest at 8 % annually. Upon completion of the IPO, the notes automatically converted into shares of Common Stock.
Bridge
Notes
In
the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, the Company issued a total of $ 2.6 million in bridge notes, which were convertible
into the Company’s Common Stock, at the time of an IPO, or at the noteholder’s option, at $ 4.20 per share, adjusted to reflect
any stock split, stock dividend or other similar change in the Common Stock. The bridge notes bore interest at 6 % and had a maturity
date of May 31, 2022 . In May 2022, the Company obtained the necessary noteholder approvals to extend the maturity date of the notes to
August 31, 2022. In July 2022, the Company obtained approval from a majority of the noteholders to extend the maturity date to October
31, 2022, for certain bridge notes in exchange for a Common Stock purchase warrant equal to principal amount of the note divided by 10.5.
As a result, the Company issued warrants to purchase 199,986 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $ 5.25 per share.
See Note 12 for additional disclosures related to warrants. Upon completion of the IPO, approximately $ 2.3 million the notes automatically
converted into shares of Common Stock. In October 2022, the Company repaid $ 175,000 for those notes that were not converted at the time
of the Company’s IPO.
Additionally,
each noteholder received a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock based on the investor’s bridge note principal balance
investment. The warrants have a five-year term at an exercise price equal to $ 5.25 per share. In connection with the IPO, we paid commissions
of nine percent ( 9 %) and issued our placement agent a warrant to purchase 29,464 shares of Common
Stock . The warrant issued to our placement agent has substantially the same terms as the warrants issued to our noteholders.
The
Company elected to account for the convertible notes payable at fair value with any changes in fair value being recognized through the
consolidated statements of operations until the convertible notes are settled. The fair value of the convertible notes was determined
with the assistance of a third-party specialist, considering the value of the notes payable that would be received by converting into
common stock in each scenario, plus a put option. In coordination with the Company’s IPO, the notes were converted to Common Stock.
Convertible notes payable consisted of the following at December 31, 2021:

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 receivable, prepaid and other expenses,
accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term
nature of these instruments. The table below summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at
September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively:

Legal
Matters
From
time to time, the Company is involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. To date,
the Company had no material pending legal proceedings.
Note
10. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
In
June 2022, the Company completed a 1-for-7 reverse stock split of its Common Stock. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted
on a retroactive basis in these condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split. The Company
will make a cash payment to stockholders for all fractional shares that it would otherwise be required to issue as a result of the stock
split. In addition, the stock split resulted in the par value of the Company’s Common Stock increasing to $ 0.007 per share.
Convertible
Preferred Stock
The
Company has authorized a total of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $ 0.001 par value per share. Prior to the IPO, the Company issued
5,296,044 shares of preferred stock, designated as Series A. In July 2017, the Company completed a private placement of securities in
which 1.3 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock were sold, resulting in net proceeds of $ 1.5 million. As part of the closing, the
Company issued 4.0 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for $ 2.6 million of the Company’s convertible notes payable
and related accrued interest.
In
accordance with the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock, all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were
issued and outstanding at the time of the IPO Closing were automatically converted into 745,558 fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock at a 1-for-7 conversion rate (as adjusted for the 1-for-7 reverse stock split ). The shares of Series A Preferred Stock that
were so converted ceased to be part of the Company’s authorized stock and will never again be issued by the Company. As of September
30, 2022, no Preferred Stock is outstanding.
Common
Stock
The
Company has authorized a total of 14,285,714 shares of Common Stock, $ 0.007 par value per share. In November 2021, the Company received
stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares from 7,142,857 shares to 14,285,714 shares. As of September 30, 2022,
the Company has issued 8,369,750 shares of Common Stock.
Note
11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The
Company grants options under its 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, the Company is authorized to grant
options for up to 1.1 million shares of Common Stock. The Company has reserved 1.0 million shares to be used under the Plan. Options
may be granted to employees, the Company’s board of directors and external consultants who provide services to the Company. Options
granted under the Plan have vesting schedules with terms of one to four years and become fully exercisable based on specific terms imposed
at the date of grant. The Plan will terminate according to the respective terms of the Plan in September 2026.

21,000 shares vested from RSUs previously issued.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued options to purchase 29,279 shares of Common Stock and 11,752 RSUs. The per
share weighted-average fair value of the options granted during 2021 was estimated at $ 1.85 on the date of grant.
The
following table summarizes weighted-average assumptions using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model used on the date of the grants issued

12. WARRANTS
We
account for Common Stock warrants as either equity instruments or derivative liabilities depending on the specific terms of the
warrant agreement. Warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities if the warrants allow for cash settlement or provide for
modification of the warrant exercise price in the event subsequent sales of Common Stock by the Company are at a lower price per
share than the then-current warrant exercise price. We classify derivative warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance
sheet at fair value, and changes in fair value during the periods presented in the condensed consolidated statement of operations,
which is revalued at each balance sheet date subsequent to the initial issuance of the stock warrant. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, 1,036,486
warrants were exercised into an equivalent number of Common Shares for proceeds of approximately $ 7.7
million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, no warrants were exercised into an equivalent number of Common
Shares.
14
In
September 2022, in connection with our IPO, we issued a total of 1,282,600 Tradeable Warrants, each exercisable for the purchase of one
share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 7.35 per share, and 1,282,600 Non-tradeable Warrants, each exercisable for the purchase
of one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 7.656 per share. The Common Stock and the Tradeable Warrants trade on The Nasdaq
Capital Market under the symbols “BIAF’ and “BIAFW”, respectively.
Pursuant
to the underwriting agreement dated August 31, 2022 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Company and WallachBeth Capital,
LLC, as representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriters”), and solely for purposes of covering any over-allotments
made in connection with our IPO, we granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 192,390 shares of Common Stock
at the Offering Price per Unit less $0.02, and/or up to 192,390 Tradeable Warrants at $0.01 per Tradeable Warrant, and/or up to 192,390
Non-tradeable Warrants at $0.01 per Non-tradeable Warrant, or any combination of additional shares of Common Stock, Tradeable Warrants,
and Non-tradeable Warrants representing, in the aggregate, up to 15% of the number of Units sold in the IPO (the “Over-Allotment
Option”). The Over-Allotment Option was exercisable for a period of 45 days from the date of our Final Prospectus. The Underwriters
exercised a portion of their overallotment option and purchased 110,167 Tradeable Warrants at a purchase price of $ 0.01 per warrant,
and 110,167 non-tradable warrants at a purchase price of $ 0.01 per warrant.
In
2022, the Company issued $ 724,000 in convertible promissory notes (“Bridge Notes”), which accrued interest at a rate of 6 %
per year. Originally, all principal and unpaid interest on the Bridge Notes was due, if not settled prior, on May 31, 2022. See Note
7. Each Bridge Note was issued with an accompanying warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock for each conversion
share based on the principal balance of each Bridge Note at an exercise price equal to $ 5.25 per share.
The
Company issued an aggregate of 167,557 equity-classified Common Stock warrants. Proceeds from the Bridge Notes were allocated to the
notes and warrants on a relative fair value basis resulting in a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of $ 0.4 million and
equal to the excess fair value of the Company’s Common Stock over the effective conversion price of the Bridge Notes. The BCF was
recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the life of the Bridge Notes using the effective interest method. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $ 2.0 million in interest expense related to the amortization of
the debt discount and issuance costs.
The
following table summarizes the calculated aggregate fair values for the warrants using the Black-Scholes method based on the following

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, 2021 included in our
Final Prospectus filed with the SEC on September 2, 2022. 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 our Final Prospectus.
Data
as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 to the comparable
period in 2021.
●
Liquidity
and Capital Resources – Analysis of changes in our cash flows, and discussion of our financial condition and potential
sources of liquidity.
●
Critical
Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates – Accounting policies 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,” “we,” or “our”) develops noninvasive, early-stage diagnostics
to detect, and is researching targeted therapies to treat, diseases of the lung and cancer at the cellular level. Our Company develops
proprietary noninvasive diagnostic tests and cancer therapeutics using technology that preferentially targets cancer cells and cell populations
indicative of a diseased state. Research and optimization of our platform technologies are conducted in our laboratories at The University
of Texas at San Antonio.
Our
first 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 they suspect may have lung cancer, which will enable physicians to more confidently distinguish between patients who
will likely benefit from timely intervention and more invasive follow-up procedures and patients who are likely without disease and can
continue annual screening. CyPath ® Lung has the potential to increase overall diagnostic accuracy of lung cancer, which
could lead to increased survival, lower the number of unnecessary invasive procedures, reduce 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
therapeutics that specifically and selectively target cancer cells. We are focused on expanding our broad platform technologies to
continue developing tests that detect and therapies that target various types of cancer and potentially other diseases.

Recent
Developments
●
In
the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed our IPO, with net proceeds of $6.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts,
commissions and offering expenses. In connection with our IPO, the Company converted almost $11 million in debt and related accrued interest into shares
of Common Stock.
●
In
the third quarter of 2022, the Company raised additional proceeds of $7.7 million from the sale of warrants.
●
We
have determined that an estimated 1,800 participants will be required to be enrolled in our pivotal clinical trial that is designed
to confirm the sensitivity and specificity of CyPath ® Lung in detecting lung cancer in persons at high risk for the
disease, and in particular those people who display indeterminant lung nodules sized between 6mm and 30 mm that often present a challenge
in diagnosis.
●
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company was awarded
therapeutic patents in The People’s Republic of China, Mexico and Australia directed at compounds comprised of porphyrins
conjugated to chemotherapeutic agents that can provide selective treatment for cancer.
●
In
October 2022, Sheila Habib, MD, Director of the Pulmonary Lung Nodule Clinic and the Lung Cancer Screening Program at the South Texas
Veterans Health Care Systems’ Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans’ Hospital joined the Company’s Scientific and Medical
Advisory Board.
Financial
To
date, we have devoted a substantial portion of our efforts and financial resources to the development of our first 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. From October 2021 through the third quarter of 2022, the Company raised an additional $2.7 million through the sale
of bridge notes. In September 2022, we completed our IPO, with net proceeds of $6.0 million after underwriting discounts, commissions
and offering expenses, and sold warrants for proceeds of approximately $7.7 million. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents
of $13.5 million. We believe that our available cash will be sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least 12 months following
the date of this Quarterly Report.
In
the second quarter of 2022, we started to recognize revenue from sales of the CyPath ® Lung test by our licensee, Precision
Pathology Services, a CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified clinical pathology laboratory and our licensee.
We have never been profitable and, as of September 30, 2022, we had total working capital of $12.6 million, and an accumulated deficit
of approximately $35.0 million. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue
the development of our diagnostic tests and therapeutic products and advance them through clinical trials.
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 September 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2021
Net
loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $4.9 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $1.5 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2021, resulting from the operational activities described below.
Revenue
Our
revenue is generated exclusively from royalties for our first diagnostic test, CyPath ® Lung, from sales by Precision Pathology
Services, a CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified clinical pathology laboratory and our licensee. Although Precision Pathology Services placed
CyPath ® Lung on its list of tests offered to physicians in second quarter 2022, there was limited marketing of the product
until September’s IPO made available funds to assemble a marketing team of experts focused on demonstrating the clinical value
of CyPath ® Lung in the marketplace. The limited test-market launch in the San Antonio area is designed to evaluate our
marketing program and help us ensure each step in the care pathway – from the initial order by physicians to sputum collection
and processing, to generating and delivering the patient report – is efficient and effective. This limited test-market approach
allows us to refine future positioning and develop strategic insight for our CyPath ® Lung test before expanding to a larger
market. We had revenue of approximately $1,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 from the sale of CyPath ®
Lung as a laboratory-developed test (an “LDT”), compared to no revenue in 2021.
18
We
expect our revenue to continue to grow for CyPath ® Lung as we add physicians prescribing our diagnostic test and expand
our outreach to other geographic areas. Our revenues are affected by the test volume of our products, patient adherence rates, payer
mix, the levels of reimbursement, and payment patterns of payers and patients.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales is comprised primarily of costs related to inventory production and usage and shipment of collection kits to patients and healthcare
providers. The increase in cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily due to sales of our diagnostic kits
in the second quarter of 2022, compared to no sales in the prior year.

Operating
expenses totaled approximately $1.0 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The increase in operating expenses is the result of the following factors.
Research
and Development Expenses
Our
research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for lab operations, preclinical studies, compensation and consulting
costs.
Research
and development expenses totaled approximately $320,000 and $331,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
The decrease of approximately $11,000, or -3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was
primarily attributable to a decrease in legal costs related to patents and annuities compared to prior year, as well as a decrease in
compensation costs due to several employees who were furloughed in the prior year, but are now back full time. The decrease was partially
offset due to an increase of $25,000 due to costs related to lab supplies and reagents.
Clinical
Development
Clinical
development expenses totaled approximately $61,000 and $34,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The increase of approximately $27,000, or 79%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 was
primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $20,000 in professional fees including consulting fees, as well as increases of
approximately $22,000 in clinical study activities related to site costs, compared to 2021 as operations were still being affected by
the global pandemic.
General
and Administrative
Our
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenditures related to employee compensation, legal, accounting and tax, other
professional services, and general operating expenses.
General
and administrative expenses totaled approximately $596,000 and $162,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. The increase of approximately $434,000, or 268%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same
period in 2021, was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $240,000 due to consulting, legal and professional fees
incurred in 2022 compared to 2021 related to board compensation, and other legal and professional fees as a result of being a
publicly traded company. Additionally, compensation increased approximately $68,000 as we increased personnel and support services
to support the launch of sales of our diagnostic test, CyPath ® Lung.

expense increased approximately $0.8 million, or 559%, to approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared
to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due to additional convertible notes
outstanding during the quarter compared to the same period in the prior year, partially offset by substantially all convertible and bridge
notes being converted during the quarter as a result of our IPO. Additionally, in 2022 the Company recorded interest expense of approximately
$0.8 million for the amortization of debt discount related to the issuance of bridge notes.
Gain
(loss) on change in fair value of convertible notes
There
was a loss of approximately $3.1 million on the change in fair value of convertible notes during the three months ended September 30,
2022 compared to a loss of approximately $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The change in the fair value
of convertible notes resulted primarily from changes in the calculation of the fair value of our stock, the reduction in the expected
term and other assumptions during the reported periods. Refer to our notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for
further discussion on our convertible notes.
Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Net
loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $6.5 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $0.8 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, resulting from the operational activities described below.

market. We had revenue of approximately $2,500 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from the sale of CyPath ®
Lung as an LDT, compared to no revenue in 2021.
We
expect our revenue to continue to grow for CyPath ® Lung as we add physicians prescribing our diagnostic test and expand
our outreach to other geographic areas. Our revenues are affected by the test volume of our products, patient adherence rates, payer

Operating
expenses totaled approximately $2.4 million and $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The increase in operating expenses is the result of the following factors.
Research
and Development Expenses
Our
research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for lab operations, preclinical studies, compensation and consulting
costs.
Research
and development expenses totaled approximately $949,000 and $878,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
The increase of approximately $71,000, or 8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was
primarily attributable to an increase in compensation costs as we added additional research personnel, partially offset by a decrease
in the prior year due to several employees who were furloughed for several months and later returned to their positions with the Company.
Additionally, the increase was due to an increase of $25,000 in costs related to lab supplies and reagents, as well as an increase of
$20,000 related to legal costs in the current year as we maintain our patent portfolio, as well as expand our portfolio to include expanding
and protecting our diagnostic and therapeutic platforms.
Clinical
Development
Clinical
development expenses totaled approximately $142,000 and $78,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The increase of approximately $64,000, or 82%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 was
primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $40,000 in professional fees including consulting fees, as well as increases of
approximately $13,000 in clinical study activities related to site costs, compared to 2021 as operations were still being affected by
the global pandemic.
General
and Administrative
Our
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenditures related to employee compensation, legal, accounting and tax, other
professional services, and general operating expenses.
General
and administrative expenses totaled approximately $1.3 million and $591,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The increase of approximately $707,000, or 120%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was
primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $470,000 related to consulting, legal and professional fees incurred in 2022 compared
to 2021 as we prepared for a potential IPO. Additionally, compensation increased approximately $90,000 as we increased personnel and
support services to support the launch of sales of our diagnostic test, CyPath ® Lung.

the same period in the prior year. Additionally, in 2022 the Company recorded interest expense of approximately $2.0 million for the
amortization of debt discount related to the issuance of bridge notes.
Gain
on Extinguishment of Debt
In
March 2021, the Company received a second draw $0.2 million PPP Loan (the “PPP Loan”), and in April 2022, received forgiveness
from the SBA, and recorded a gain of $212,000 on the extinguishment of the PPP Loan. In April 2020, the Company received an initial $0.2
million PPP Loan, and in June 2021, received forgiveness from the SBA, and recorded a gain of $239,000 on
the extinguishment of the PPP Loan.

was a loss of approximately $1.9 million on the change in fair value of convertible notes during the nine months ended September 30,
2022 compared to a gain of approximately $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change in the fair value of
convertible notes resulted primarily from changes in the calculation of the fair value of our stock, the reduction in the expected term
and other assumptions during the reported periods. Refer to our notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further
discussion on our convertible notes.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
To
date, we have funded our operations primarily through our initial public offering, exercise of warrants, and the sale of our equity and
debt securities, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $34.3 million.
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 nine months ended
September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had net losses of $6.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and we expect to incur substantial additional
losses in future periods. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $35.0 million as of September 30, 2022. Cash and cash equivalents
were approximately $13.5 million as of September 30, 2022. Based on our current level of expected operating expenditures, we expect to
be able to fund our operations for at least 12 months following the date of this Quarterly Report.
We
continue to seek sources of financing, including 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
or 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.

Net
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net
cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.8 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. The increase of approximately $1.4 million in cash used by operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022,
compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily attributable to an increase of $5.7 million in our loss from operations as compared
to prior year as described above. These increases were partially offset by fair value adjustments and the amortization of debt discount
related to the issuance of bridge notes, as well as changes in prepaid and other assets, and accrued interest.
Net
Cash Used in Investing Activities
The
Company did not use any cash in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Net
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Cash
provided by financing activities was approximately $14.9 million compared to approximately $1.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022,
compared to 2021, is primarily attributable to the net proceeds of approximately $6.0 million from issuance of Common Stock in our IPO,
as well as proceeds of approximately $7.7 million from the exercise of warrants. Additionally, the increase is due to the issuance of
$0.7 million of our bridge notes during the period partially offset by debt issuance costs and the repayment of one bridge note for $100,000,
compared to the issuance of $1.0 million of our convertible notes the same period in the prior year, as well as receiving a second draw
on our PPP Loan of $212,000 in March 2021. Additionally, the Company had an increase in deferred offering costs related to the anticipated
initial public offering.
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 Policies and Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 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.
Share-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. As such, as we use different assumptions based on a change in factors, our stock-based compensation expense could
be materially different in the future.
23
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.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
We
are 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. 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
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We
are not required to provide the information required by this item as we are considered a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule
229.10(f)(1).
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of 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 the Exchange
Act) Rules 13a-15(e)and 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that due to limited resources and limited
number of employees, its internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of September 30, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. To mitigate the limited resources and employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions,
along with the use of legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase the number of employees, which we believe
will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
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 September 30, 2022 covered by this Quarterly Report that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our financial reporting.

PART
II
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From
time to time, the Company is involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. To date,
the Company 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.
As
a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure pursuant to this Item 1A. However, in addition to other information
set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our Final Prospectus filed
with the SEC on September 2, 2022 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report 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.
ITEM
2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
Use
of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering
On
September 6, 2022, we completed our IPO of 1,282,600 Units at an Offering Price of $6.125 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one share
of Common Stock, one Tradeable Warrant exercisable for the purchase of one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.35 per share,
and one Non-tradeable Warrant exercisable for the purchase of one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.656 per share. The
total number of shares of Common Stock sold in the IPO does not include the Over-Allotment Option that we granted to the Underwriters
to purchase up to an additional 192,390 shares of Common Stock at the Offering Price per Unit less $0.02, and/or up to 192,390 Tradeable
Warrants at $0.01 per Tradeable Warrant, and/or up to 192,390 Non-tradeable Warrants at $0.01 per Non-tradeable Warrant, or any combination
of additional shares of Common Stock, Tradeable Warrants, and Non-tradeable Warrants representing, in the aggregate, up to 15% of the
number of Units sold in the IPO. The shares of Common Stock and Tradeable Warrants underlying the Units offered in our IPO and the Over-Allotment
Option were registered for sale pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-264463), filed with and
declared effective by the SEC on August 29, 2022.
The
aggregate offering price for the registered shares of Common Stock and Tradeable Warrants was approximately $7.9 million. We received
net proceeds of approximately $6.0 million from the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $0.7
million and offering expenses of approximately $1.2 million. The representative of the Underwriters was WallachBeth Capital, LLC. No
payments for the foregoing expenses were made by us to any of our officers, directors or persons owning ten percent (10%) or more of
our Common Stock, or to the associates of any of the foregoing, or to their affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of
business to our officers for salaries, bonuses and expense reimbursements.
There
has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds as described in our Final Prospectus filed with the SEC on September 2, 2022.
The expected use of net proceeds from the IPO represents our intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions. We cannot
predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the proceeds of the IPO or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses
set forth above. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds we received from the IPO,
and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of our net proceeds. While we expect to use
the net proceeds for the purposes described above, the timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including
cash flows from operations, the anticipated growth of our business, and the availability and terms of alternative financing sources to
fund our growth.
