The term “disclosure controls and
−Removed: procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a

−Removed: Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
−Removed: Our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting as of December 31, 2023.
−Removed: In making this assessment, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer
−Removed: used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control—Integrated
−Removed: Based on that assessment and using the COSO criteria, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer have
−Removed: concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
−Removed: Our independent registered public accounting firm
−Removed: will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting for as long as we are an
−Removed: “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.
−Removed: Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: There have been no changes in our internal control
−Removed: over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
−Removed: our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Inherent Limitations of Controls
−Removed: Management does not expect that our disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud.
−Removed: procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management
−Removed: necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
−Removed: Because of the inherent
−Removed: limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
−Removed: fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
−Removed: These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making
−Removed: can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake.
−Removed: Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual
−Removed: acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.
−Removed: The design of any system of controls
−Removed: also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
−Removed: succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
−Removed: Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes
−Removed: in conditions, or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in a
−Removed: cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
+Added: Our President and Chief Executive Officer, who serves as our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting
+Added: officer, has conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.
+Added: In making this assessment, our President and Chief Executive Officer used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
+Added: of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.
+Added: Based on that assessment and using the COSO criteria,
+Added: our President and Chief Executive Officer have concluded that, as a result of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting
+Added: arising from a lack of sufficient internal accounting expertise at the Company, our internal control over financial reporting was not
+Added: effective as of December 31, 2024.
+Added: The foregoing determination was made in connection
+Added: with the preparation and finalization of this Form 10-K.
+Added: In connection therewith, our independent registered public accounting firm identified
+Added: an issue with respect to the Company’s application of provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification of the FASB related to
+Added: the accounting and valuation of certain warrants.
+Added: In particular, in June 2024, the Company issued Class C and Class D warrants that contained
+Added: “reset” features that caused the exercise prices and number of shares of Company common stock issuable upon exercise of such
+Added: warrants to increase following stockholder approval of such warrants in August 2024 and changes in the market price of our common stock
+Added: that were measured in the period that immediately followed.
+Added: Under applicable accounting guidance, upon reset, the Company should have
+Added: recorded in its consolidated statement of operations the “deemed dividend on warrant modification” and “net loss applicable
+Added: to common stockholders,” in each case, below the presentation of net loss.
+Added: In addition, these non-book entry line items were not
+Added: included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 in the Company’s
+Added: Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024.
+Added: Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, management
+Added: has concluded that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial
+Added: position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.
+Added: In addition, the Company intends to include an “out-of-period
+Added: adjustment” in its upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 to provide these additional
+Added: non-book entry line item amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
+Added: independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over
+Added: financial reporting for as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business
+Added: Startups Act.
+Added: Plan to Remediate Material Weakness
+Added: As noted above, our President and Chief Executive
+Added: Officer currently serves as our principal executive officer, and our principal financial and accounting officer, and has done so since
+Added: we separated with our prior Chief Financial Officer in October 2023 and our prior Interim Chief Financial Officer in March 2024.
+Added: Our President
+Added: and Chief Financial Officer, who is not a certified public accountant and does not have a prior background in public accounting, works
+Added: with external and internal consultants in preparing and reviewing the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
+Added: As a result of
+Added: the material weakness determination that occurred in connection with the preparation of this Form 10-K, we plan to enhance our processes
+Added: by designing and implementing controls to review the results of valuations and estimates, including the completeness and accuracy of relevant
+Added: data elements included in the valuation or estimate.
+Added: We also plan, subject to the availability of sufficient financial resources in the
+Added: future, to engage additional qualified resources and/or hire additional staff to ensure these incremental controls are properly implemented
+Added: and to ensure proper segregation of duties around the review of manual journal entries.
+Added: Management is currently evaluating steps to remediate
+Added: the material weaknesses, including enhanced processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better
+Added: evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our consolidated financial statements.
+Added: This includes
+Added: providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials, and documents, and increasing communication among our personnel
+Added: and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications.
+Added: When fully implemented and operational, we believe
+Added: the measures described above will remediate the underlying causes of the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weakness
+Added: and will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: However, remediation efforts are expected to continue into future fiscal
+Added: Further, we will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until these steps have been completed and have been operating
+Added: effectively for a sufficient period of time.
+Added: We may also identify additional measures that may be required to remediate the material weakness
+Added: in our internal control over financial reporting, necessitating further action.
+Added: in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: Other than the material weakness determination
+Added: described above and the commencement of the Company’s remediation activities in connection therewith, there
+Added: have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter, that has materially
+Added: affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Limitations of Controls
+Added: does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all
+Added: errors and all fraud.
+Added: Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
+Added: their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
+Added: Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
+Added: all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
+Added: These inherent limitations include the realities
+Added: that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake.
+Added: Additionally, controls
+Added: can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.
+Added: The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there
+Added: can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

−Removed: FDA Regulatory Strategy
−Removed: The Company’s current regulatory strategy
−Removed: is designed to support commercialization of Symphony in the United States pending marketing authorization from the FDA.
−Removed: Previously, the
−Removed: Company’s regulatory strategy involved clinical studies involving COVID-19 patients.
−Removed: However, the Company has shifted its focus
−Removed: away from COVID-19 patients due to a significant decline in the number of COVID-19 related hospitalizations.
−Removed: Pursuant to this revised
−Removed: strategy, the Company is beginning to conduct a clinical study to support an FDA regulatory submission with an initial indication for
−Removed: risk stratification of hospitalized sepsis patients.
−Removed: The Company submitted a pre-submission application to the FDA presenting the new
−Removed: study design in May 2023 and participated in a pre-submission meeting on August 11, 2023.
−Removed: At the meeting, the FDA provided feedback on
−Removed: the new study design, determined that the submission of a 510(k) is the appropriate premarket submission pathway, and requested that certain
−Removed: data be provided in the 510(k).
−Removed: Based on this feedback, the Company determined to proceed as planned while taking into account the FDA’s
−Removed: In the first quarter
−Removed: of 2024, the Company initiated the study at multiple sites, which study is intended to use the Symphony IL-6 test to monitor IL-6 concentrations
−Removed: in patients who are diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock and are admitted or intended to be admitted to the ICU.
−Removed: The objective of this
−Removed: study is to establish IL-6 concentrations in these sepsis patients that best predict 28-day all-cause mortality.
−Removed: The Company expects that
−Removed: it will need to bring several additional sites into the study in the future, which it believes will help support initial commercialization
−Removed: and market penetration.
−Removed: The Company believes that this clinical trial expansion could also support additional indications, but that
−Removed: any such expansion also could delay obtaining marketing authorization for the product.
−Removed: As a result of its lack of cash resources, the
−Removed: Company has recently slowed the timeline of this study to preserve cash resources in the near-term, and the Company expects that this
−Removed: will delay its Symphony platform regulatory submission timeline until 2025.
−Removed: Product Manufacturing
−Removed: The Company maintains contracts with Sanyoseiko
−Removed: Ltd (“Sanyoseiko”) to manufacture our device and cartridges, and with Toray Industries, Inc (“Toray”) to manufacture
−Removed: in the near-term (through its wholly owned subsidiary Kamakura Techno-Science, Inc.) certain product intermediate components for use in
−Removed: cartridges being manufactured for the Company by Sanyoseiko.
−Removed: Risks and Uncertainties
−Removed: As noted above, Bluejay is reliant upon Toray
−Removed: and Sanyoseiko to provide cartridges in sufficient quantity and quality to complete our clinical trials, and our clinical trials could
−Removed: be delayed if the Company encountered any material supply interruptions while the clinical trials are being conducted.
−Removed: In addition, there
−Removed: can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary regulatory authorization for the manufacturing or marketing of the Symphony
−Removed: in the United States or elsewhere.
−Removed: There also can be no assurance that we will successfully complete any clinical evaluations necessary
−Removed: to receive regulatory approvals, or that the clinical trial will demonstrate sufficient safety and efficacy of the Symphony.
−Removed: to adequately demonstrate the clinical performance of the Symphony device could delay or prevent regulatory approval of the device, which
−Removed: could prevent or result in delays to market launch and could materially harm our business.
−Removed: In addition to the FDA regulatory strategy risks
−Removed: and uncertainties, the Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other companies in its industry, including rapid technological
−Removed: change, competition from larger biotechnology companies and dependence on key personnel.
−Removed: The Company is also impacted by inflationary
−Removed: pressures and global supply chain disruptions currently impacting many companies.
−Removed: On October 25, 2022, the Company received a notification
−Removed: letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the
−Removed: closing bid price for its common stock had been below $ 1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days and that the Company therefore
−Removed: is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing
−Removed: Rule 5550(a)(2).
−Removed: On April 25, 2023, at the Company’s request, Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Staff notified the Company that
−Removed: it had extended the time for the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement until October 23, 2023.
−Removed: To regain compliance,
−Removed: the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock needed to be at least $ 1.00 or higher for a minimum of ten consecutive business
−Removed: On July 24, 2023, the Company effected a reverse
−Removed: stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), with a corresponding reduction
−Removed: in the number of authorized outstanding number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 7,500,000 .
−Removed: All of the Company’s
−Removed: historical share and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock and outstanding options and warrants exercisable
−Removed: for common stock in these financial statements have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-20 reverse stock split.
−Removed: On August 8, 2023, the Company received a letter
−Removed: from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, based on the closing bid price of the Company’s
−Removed: common stock having been at least $ 1.00 per share for the required period, the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
−Removed: 5550(a)(2) and the minimum bid price deficiency matter previously disclosed by the Company on October 25, 2022 was closed.
−Removed: further described below under note 12, on February 28, 2024, the Company received a new deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications
−Removed: Department as a result of the closing bid price for its common stock having again been below $ 1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business
−Removed: Going Concern
−Removed: The Company had cash and cash equivalents of
−Removed: $ 2,208,516 , as of December 31, 2023.
−Removed: The Company has incurred net losses since its inception, and has negative cash flows from
−Removed: operations and had the accumulated deficit of $26,950,990 as of December 31, 2023.
−Removed: The Company continues to develop the Symphony
−Removed: device and its first test for the measurement of IL-6.
−Removed: The Company remains committed to obtaining FDA clearance and will conduct
−Removed: clinical trials to obtain sufficient data to support its FDA submission, while also continuing to build its manufacturing operations
−Removed: with its contract manufacturing organizations.
−Removed: Current cash resources and expected operating expenses are considered in determining
−Removed: its liquidity requirement;
−Removed: as well as $ 1,771,375 of current liabilities on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.
−Removed: Company estimates cash resources will be sufficient to fund its operations through the second quarter of 2024.
−Removed: The Company will need
−Removed: additional capital to fund its planned operations for the next 12 months.
−Removed: These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
−Removed: Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: The consolidated financial statements for the
−Removed: years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
−Removed: that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business.
−Removed: The Company expects that it will seek to raise
−Removed: such additional capital through public or private equity offerings, grant financing and support from governmental agencies, convertible
−Removed: debt, collaborations, strategic alliances and distribution arrangements.
−Removed: Additional funds may not be available when it needs them on terms
−Removed: that are acceptable to them, or at all.
−Removed: If adequate funds are not available, it may be required to delay its FDA regulatory strategy,
−Removed: and to delay or reduce the scope of its research or development programs, its commercialization efforts or its manufacturing commitments
−Removed: and capacity.
−Removed: In addition, if it raises additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or distribution arrangements with
−Removed: third parties, it may have to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies or future revenue streams.

+Added: Based on this feedback, the Company determined to proceed
+Added: on this basis, which considers the FDA’s feedback.
+Added: the second quarter of 2024, we completed a multicenter SYmphony IL-6 MONitoring Sepsis (“SYMON”) clinical study investigating
+Added: the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients diagnosed with sepsis and septic shock.
+Added: This prospective study assessed the performance
+Added: of IL-6 upon initial presentation to the intensive care unit (ICU).
+Added: A primary analysis of the SYMON-I pilot clinical study (registered
+Added: clinical trial number NCT06181604) highlighted that IL-6 levels within 24 hours of sepsis or septic shock diagnosis and admission to
+Added: the ICU may predict patient mortality out to 28 days.
+Added: Furthermore, a secondary outcome of the SYMON-I study showed that IL-6 levels within
+Added: 24 hours of sepsis or septic shock diagnosis and admission to the ICU is a predictor of patient mortality during their hospitalization.
+Added: Other secondary outcomes showed that lactate and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), standard clinical tests used for sepsis
+Added: and septic shock patients, were not predictors of patient mortality out to 28 days.
+Added: We believe that the findings underscore the potential
+Added: importance of IL-6 as a predictor and provide new insights into the potential pathways for improving sepsis outcomes.
+Added: In the third quarter
+Added: of 2024, we initiated SYMON-II pivotal clinical study to validate the findings of the SYMON-I pilot clinical study.
+Added: a result of its lack of cash resources, the Company has recently slowed the timeline of this study to preserve cash resources in the

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
−Removed: Basis of Presentation
−Removed: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
−Removed: have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include
−Removed: all adjustments necessary for the presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
−Removed: flows for the periods presented.
−Removed: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary.
−Removed: All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
−Removed: Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
−Removed: with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in these consolidated
+Added: with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in these consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
−Removed: The Company believes judgment
−Removed: is involved in accounting for the fair value-based measurement of stock-based compensation, accruals, and warrant issuances.
−Removed: evaluates its estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate.
−Removed: As future events and their effects cannot be determined with
−Removed: precision, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to the condensed
−Removed: consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: Cash and Cash Equivalents
−Removed: The Company considers all highly liquid investments
−Removed: with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
−Removed: Cash equivalents, consisting of highly liquid
−Removed: money market funds are carried at fair market value which approximates cost.
−Removed: The Company recognized interest income associated with cash
−Removed: equivalents of $ 164,900 and $ 89,673 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
−Removed: Revenue Recognition
−Removed: The Company recognizes revenue under the core
−Removed: principles of depicting the transfer of control to the Company’s customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the
−Removed: Company expected to be entitled.
−Removed: In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five step approach:
−Removed: the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in that contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate
−Removed: the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
−Removed: The Company recognizes revenue when performance
−Removed: obligations under the terms of the contract with the customer are satisfied and are recognized at a point in time, which is also when
−Removed: control is transferred.
−Removed: When the Company performs shipping and handling activities after the transfer of control to the customer (e.g.
−Removed: when control transfers prior to delivery), they are considered fulfillment activities and, accordingly, the costs are accrued for when
−Removed: the related revenue is recognized.
−Removed: Sales tax and valued added taxes collected from the customers relating to product sales and remitted
−Removed: to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.
−Removed: The Company accounts for its leases under the
−Removed: Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 842, Leases
−Removed: The Company has arrangements involving the lease
−Removed: of facilities and the lease of copiers.
−Removed: Under ASC 842, at inception of the arrangement, the Company determines whether the contract is
−Removed: or contains a lease and whether the lease should be classified as an operating or a financing lease.
−Removed: This determination, among other considerations,
−Removed: involves an assessment of whether the Company can control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic
−Removed: benefits or outputs from the asset.
−Removed: The Company accounts for the leases of less than 12 months as short-term leases.
−Removed: The Company recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”)
−Removed: assets and lease liabilities as of the lease commencement date based on the net present value of the future minimum lease payments over
−Removed: the lease term.
−Removed: The Company amortizes the right-of-use assets over the remaining terms of the lease.
−Removed: ASC 842 requires the leases to use
−Removed: the rate implicit in the lease unless it is not readily determinable and then it may use its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”)
−Removed: to discount the future minimum lease payments.
−Removed: Most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate;
−Removed: therefore, the Company
−Removed: uses its IBR to discount the future minimum lease payments.
−Removed: The Company determines its IBR with its credit rating and other economic information
−Removed: available as of the commencement date, as well as the identified lease term.
−Removed: During the assessment of the lease term, the Company considers
−Removed: its renewal options and extensions within the arrangements and the Company includes these options when it’s reasonably certain to
−Removed: extend the term of the lease.
−Removed: The Company has lease arrangements that contain
−Removed: incentives for tenant improvements as well as fixed rent escalation clauses.
−Removed: For contracts with tenant improvement incentives that are
−Removed: determined to be leasehold improvements and the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, it records a reduction to the lease liability
−Removed: and amortizes the incentive over the identified term of the lease as a reduction to rent expense.
−Removed: The Company records rental expense on
−Removed: a straight-line basis over the identified lease term on contracts with rent escalation clauses.
−Removed: Fair Value Measurements
−Removed: The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes
−Removed: a consistent framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value
−Removed: on either a recurring or non-recurring basis.
−Removed: Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to
−Removed: sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
−Removed: As such, fair value is a market-based
−Removed: measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
−Removed: for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs
−Removed: used in measuring fair value as follows:
−Removed: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
−Removed: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.
−Removed: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
−Removed: The Company determines fair value for cash equivalents
−Removed: with Level 1 inputs through the reference to the quoted market prices.
−Removed: There were no liabilities measured at fair value
−Removed: on a recurring basis, and no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
−Removed: The carrying values of financial instruments such as prepaid expenses,
−Removed: accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated fair value as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 due to their short-term maturities.
−Removed: Impairment of Property and Equipment
−Removed: The Company evaluates its long-lived assets with
−Removed: definite lives, such as fixed assets and right-of-use assets for impairment.
−Removed: The carrying value of fixed assets and right-of use assets
−Removed: is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment.
−Removed: Some factors which the Company considers to be triggering events for impairment review include a significant decrease in the market value
−Removed: of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, a significant adverse change in the business climate
−Removed: that could affect the value of an asset, an accumulation of costs for an asset in excess of the amount originally expected, a current
−Removed: period operating loss or cash flow decline combined with a history of operating loss or cash flow uses or a projection that demonstrates
−Removed: continuing losses and a current expectation that, it is more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be disposed of at a loss before
−Removed: the end of its estimated useful life.
−Removed: The factors that drive the estimate of the life are often uncertain and are reviewed on a periodic
−Removed: basis or when events occur that warrant review.
−Removed: Recoverability is measured by comparison of the assets’ book value to future net
−Removed: undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate.
−Removed: If the assets are not recoverable, the impairment charge is measured
−Removed: as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the fair value.
−Removed: Concentration of Credit Risk
−Removed: Cash, and cash equivalents consist of financial
−Removed: instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk in the event of a default by the related financial
−Removed: institution holding the securities, to the extent of the value recorded in the balance sheet.
−Removed: The Company invests cash that is not required
−Removed: for immediate operating needs primarily in highly liquid instruments with lower credit risk.
−Removed: Research and Development Expenses
−Removed: Costs incurred in the research and development
−Removed: of new products are expensed as incurred.
−Removed: Research and development costs include, but are not limited to, salaries, benefits, stock-based
−Removed: compensation, laboratory supplies, fees for professional service providers and costs associated with product development efforts, including
−Removed: preclinical studies and clinical trials.
−Removed: The Company estimates preclinical study and clinical
−Removed: trial expenses based on the services performed, pursuant to contracts with research institutions and clinical research organizations that
−Removed: conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on its behalf.
−Removed: In accruing service fees, the Company estimates the time period
−Removed: over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period.
−Removed: If the actual timing of the performance of
−Removed: services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, the Company will adjust the accrual accordingly.
−Removed: Payments made to third parties
−Removed: under these arrangements in advance of the receipt of the related services are recorded as prepaid expenses until the services are rendered.
−Removed: Stock-Based Compensation
−Removed: Share-based compensation expense for all
−Removed: share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and non-employees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
−Removed: Share-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees is determined using the fair value of the consideration received
−Removed: or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.
−Removed: The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing
−Removed: model to determine the fair value of options granted.
−Removed: The Company recognizes the compensation cost of share-based awards on a straight-line
−Removed: basis over the requisite service period.
−Removed: For stock awards for which vesting is subject to performance – based milestones, the expense
−Removed: is recorded over the implied service period after the point when the achievement of the milestone is probable, or the performance condition
−Removed: has been achieved.
−Removed: The determination of the fair value of share-based
−Removed: payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by the stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility,
−Removed: expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.
−Removed: The Company does not have a history of market prices of its common stock,
−Removed: and as such, volatility is estimated using historical volatilities of similar public entities.
−Removed: The expected life of the awards is estimated
−Removed: based on the simplified method for grants to employees and is based on the contractual term for non-employee awards.
−Removed: The risk-free interest
−Removed: rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the terms of the awards.
−Removed: The dividend yield assumption is based on
−Removed: history and expectation of paying no dividends.
−Removed: The Company recognizes forfeitures related to
−Removed: employee share-based payments when they occur.
−Removed: Segment Reporting
−Removed: Management has determined that the Company has
−Removed: one operating segment, which is consistent with the Company structure and how it manages the business.
−Removed: The Company follows accounting guidance regarding
−Removed: the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: Tax positions
−Removed: taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns are required to be evaluated to determine whether
−Removed: the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authorities.
−Removed: Tax positions not deemed
−Removed: to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: There are no uncertain tax positions
−Removed: that require accrual or disclosure as of December 31, 2023.
−Removed: Any interest or penalties are charged to expense.
−Removed: During the years ended December
−Removed: 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no significant interest and penalties.
−Removed: Tax years subsequent to December 31, 2019 are subject to examination
−Removed: by federal and state authorities.
−Removed: The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and
−Removed: liabilities based on the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for tax and financial reporting purposes
−Removed: measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse, net operating loss
−Removed: carryforwards and tax credits.
−Removed: Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is
−Removed: more likely than not to be realized.
−Removed: The deferred tax benefit or expense for the period represents the change in the deferred tax asset
−Removed: or liability from the beginning to the end of the period.
−Removed: Deferred Offering Costs
−Removed: Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting,
−Removed: legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through December 31, 2023 that are directly related to the January 2024 Offering and
−Removed: that will be charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the January 2024 Offering.
−Removed: Net Loss per Share
−Removed: loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period,
−Removed: without consideration for potentially dilutive securities.
−Removed: Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted
−Removed: average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury
−Removed: stock and if-converted methods.
−Removed: Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of options outstanding under the Company’s stock
−Removed: option plan, restricted stock units, and warrants.
−Removed: For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate
−Removed: basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive.
+Added: The Company evaluates its estimates
+Added: and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate.
