BASIS OF PRESENTATION
−Removed: Biomerica, Inc.
−Removed: and its subsidiaries (which includes wholly owned subsidiaries, Biomerica de Mexico and BioEurope GmbH) is a biomedical technology company that develops, patents, manufactures and markets advanced diagnostic and therapeutic products used at the point-of-care (physicians' offices and over-the-counter (“OTC”) through drugstores and online) and in hospital/clinical laboratories for detection and/or treatment of medical conditions and diseases .
−Removed: Our diagnostic test kits are used to analyze blood, urine, nasal or fecal material from patients in the diagnosis of various diseases, food intolerances and other medical complications, or to measure the level of specific hormones, antibodies, antigens or other substances, which may exist in the human body in extremely small concentrations.
−Removed: The Company's products are designed to enhance the health and well-being of people, while reducing total healthcare costs.
−Removed: Our primary focus is the research, development, commercialization, and in certain cases regulatory approval, of patented, diagnostic-guided therapy (“DGT”) products based on our InFoods® Technology platform that are designed to treat gastrointestinal diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome (“IBS”), and other inflammatory diseases.
−Removed: These InFoods® based products are directed at chronic inflammatory illnesses that are widespread and common, and as such address very large markets.
−Removed: The first product we are launching using the patented InFoods Technology is our InFoods® IBS product which uses a simple blood sample and is designed to identify patient-specific foods that, when removed from the diet, may alleviate IBS symptoms such as pain, bloating, diarrhea, cramping and constipation.
−Removed: Instead of broad and difficult-to-manage dietary restrictions, the InFoods® IBS product works by identifying a patient’s above normal immunoreactivity to specific foods.
−Removed: A food identified as causing an abnormal immune response in the patient is simply removed from the diet to help alleviate IBS symptoms.
−Removed: Following the successful completion and positive statistical results from the Company’s InFoods IBS clinical trial (run at several prominent centers including Mayo Clinic, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Inc.
−Removed: - a Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital, Houston Methodist Hospital, and the University of Michigan) which was completed in early calendar 2022, Biomerica received interest from Gastroenterology (“GI”) physicians who would like to order the InFoods IBS test for their patients even prior to the product receiving FDA clearance.
−Removed: As such, we are currently working with key GI physician groups who are interested in offering this product to their patients.
−Removed: Given this, during the third quarter ended February 28, 2023, we worked to set up the InFoods® IBS test to be performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) certified, and College of American Pathologists (“CAP”) accredited high-complexity laboratory facility and offered as a laboratory developed test (“LDT”).
−Removed: During the quarter ended February 28, 2023, the CLIA lab completed all validation testing necessary for the InFoods IBS product to be offered as an LDT and, as of quarter end, is now accepting patient samples.
−Removed: We also worked to optimize the process for GI physicians to order the InFoods IBS test, send patient blood samples to the CLIA lab and receive the test results for their patients.
−Removed: We believe ease of order and workflow for physicians, with easy to understand and actionable results for patients, is critical to our success.
−Removed: During the quarter, we also set up customer service and payment systems, along with a dedicated website for patients to receive answers to questions they may have about the test and attain information about how to eliminate a specific food from their diet.
−Removed: This is especially important for foods that are ingredients in common processed foods like milk, eggs and wheat.
−Removed: As of the end of the fiscal third quarter, the product is now available to physicians and their patients.
−Removed: Our existing medical diagnostic products are sold worldwide primarily in two markets:
−Removed: 1) clinical laboratories and 2) point-of-care (physicians' offices and OTC at Walmart, Amazon, and Walgreens).
−Removed: The diagnostic test kits are used to analyze blood, urine, nasal or fecal specimens from patients in the diagnosis of various diseases, food intolerances and other medical complications, by measuring or detecting the existence and/or level of specific bacteria, hormones, antibodies, antigens, or other substances, which may exist in a patient’s body, stools, or blood, often in extremely small concentrations.
−Removed: Due to the global 2019 SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus pandemic, in March 2020 we began developing COVID-19 products to indicate if a person has been infected by COVID-19 or is currently infected.
−Removed: In fiscal 2022, we generated revenues from the international sale of our COVID-19 antigen tests that use a patient’s nasal fluid sample to detect if the patient is currently infected with the virus.
−Removed: Due to falling demand for such tests, the Company generated 0.4 % of our sales during the three months ended February 28, 2023, as compared to 79 % of our revenue during the three months ended February 28, 2022..
−Removed: Further, during the nine months ended February 28, 2023 6 % of our sales were generated from our COVID-19 related products, as compared to 80 % of our revenue during the nine months ended February 28, 2022.
−Removed: Our non-COVID-19 products that accounted for approximately 94 % and 20 % of our revenues during the nine months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, respectively, are primarily focused on gastrointestinal diseases, food intolerances, and certain esoteric tests.
−Removed: These diagnostic test products utilize immunoassay technology.
−Removed: Most of our products are CE marked and/or sold for diagnostic use where they are registered by each country’s regulatory agency.

+Added: to their patients.
