NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note
1 – Overview and Basis of Presentation
Description
of Business
Co-Diagnostics,
Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company” or “CODX”), is a molecular diagnostics company that develops, manufactures
and markets state-of-the-art diagnostics technologies. The Company’s technologies are utilized for tests that are designed using
the detection and/or analysis of nucleic acid molecules (DNA or RNA). The Company also uses its proprietary technology to design specific
tests for its Co-Dx™ platform and to locate genetic markers for use in applications other than infectious disease. In connection
with the sale of our tests we may sell diagnostic equipment from other manufacturers as self-contained lab systems.
Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information as they are prescribed for smaller reporting companies. As permitted
under those rules and regulations, certain notes or other financial information normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have
been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited
financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC on March 14, 2024. The Company’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates include receivables
and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, income taxes, share based arrangements, and others. These estimates and assumptions
are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates.
Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications have no impact
on the previously reported results.
7
Accounts
Receivable
Trade
accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount (net of allowance) and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance
for doubtful accounts for amounts the Company does not expect to collect. In establishing the required allowance, management considers
historical losses, current market condition, customers’ financial condition, the age of receivables, and current payment patterns.
Account balances are written off against the allowance once the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously
written off are recorded when collected. At June 30, 2024 total accounts receivable was $ 710,898 with an allowance for uncollectable
accounts of $ 159,394 resulting in a net amount of $ 551,504 . At December 31, 2023 total accounts receivable was $ 504,264 with an allowance
for uncollectable accounts of $ 200,338 resulting in a net amount of $ 303,926 .
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or net-realizable value. Inventory cost is determined on a first-in first-out basis that approximates
average cost in accordance with ASC 330-10-30-12. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $ 1,463,960 in inventory, of which $ 620,825 was finished
goods and $ 843,135 was raw materials. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 1,664,725 in inventory, of which $ 700,467 was finished goods
and $ 964,258 was raw materials. The Company establishes reserves to reduce low-moving, obsolete, or unusable inventories to their estimated
useful or scrap values. The Company recognized $ 24,333 and $ 287,006 related to the change in inventory reserves during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $ 198,978 and $ 242,695 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 respectively.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company generates revenue from customers from product and license sales. The Company recognizes revenue from customers when all of the
following criteria are satisfied: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether
the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii)
measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to
the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The
Company constrains revenue by giving consideration to factors that could otherwise lead to a probable reversal of revenue. The Company
records any payments received from customers prior to the Company fulfilling its performance obligation(s) as deferred revenue.

The
Company may submit applications to receive grant funding from governmental and non-governmental entities. The Company accounts for grants
by analogizing to the contribution accounting model under ASC 958-605, Not-for-Profit Entities (“ASC 958”). Revenues from
grants, contracts, and awards provided by governmental and non-governmental agencies are recorded based upon the terms of the specific
agreements. The Company recognizes grant funding without conditions or continuing performance obligations as revenue in the consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company recognizes grant funding with conditions or continuing performance
obligations as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets if the conditions or performance obligations have not yet been met.
The Company recognized grant funding revenue of $ 2,495,738 and $ 2,710,847 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively,
compared to $ 0 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. At June 30, 2024, the Company has also recorded $ 127,710
of deferred revenue related to grant funding for which the cash was received, but the underlying conditions or performance obligations
have not yet been met. Cash received from federal grants, contracts, and awards can be subject to audit by the grantor and, if the examination
results in a disallowance of any expenditure, repayment could be required.

Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, d eferred
income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities represent the tax effect of temporary differences between financial reporting and
tax reporting measured at enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes
only the impact of tax positions that, based on their technical merits, are more likely than not to be sustained upon an audit by the
taxing authority.
Valuation
allowances are provided when it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets may not be realized. In assessing
the need for a valuation allowance, the Company has considered its historical levels of income, expectations of future taxable income
and ongoing tax planning strategies.
Developing
the provision for income taxes, including the effective tax rate and analysis of potential tax exposure items, if any, requires significant
judgment and expertise in federal and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred income
tax assets and liabilities and any estimated valuation allowances deemed necessary to value deferred income tax assets. Judgments and
tax strategies are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. The Company has uncertain income tax positions in the condensed consolidated
financial statements, and adverse determinations by these taxing authorities could have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated
financial positions, result of operations, or cash flows.
Concentrations
Risk and Significant Customers
The
Company had certain customers which were each responsible for generating 10 % or more of the total revenue for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2024. Two customers accounted for approximately 37 % of product revenue, and two granting agencies accounted for approximately
94 % of the grant revenue recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2024. One customer accounted for approximately 29 % of product
revenue, and two granting agencies accounted for approximately 94 % of grant revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Three customers accounted for approximately 44 % of product revenue and two customers accounted for approximately 33 % of product revenue
recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Four
customers accounted for more than 10 % of accounts receivable at June 30, 2024 and three customers accounted for more than 10 % of accounts
receivable at December 31, 2023. These customers together accounted for approximately 89 % and 97 % of accounts receivable at June 30,
2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted
by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards,
which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires an entity
to disclose annually additional information related to the company’s income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid during
the period. The guidance should be applied prospectively with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The standard becomes
effective for the Company for full year 2025 reporting. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated
financial statements.

4 – Fair Value Measurements
The
Company measures and records certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is based on the
price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date.
The
following three levels of inputs are used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities:
Level
1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The
following table summarizes the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31,
2023, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

The
Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of U.S. treasury bills and notes as
of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The
fair value of contingent consideration is calculated using a discounted probability weighted valuation model. Discount rates used in
such calculations are a significant assumption that are not observed in the market, and therefore, the resulting fair value represents
a Level 3 measurement.
The
changes for Level 3 items measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:
Schedule
of Changes in the Fair Value Measurement
Fair value as of December 31, 2023
$ 1,639,775
Change in fair value of contingent consideration issued for business acquisitions
( 206,144 )
Fair value as of June 30, 2024
$ 1,433,631
The
fair value of the contingent consideration is based on the fair value of the contingent consideration-common stock and contingent consideration-warrants.
The fair value of the contingent consideration-common stock is equal to the probability-adjusted value of the Company’s common
stock as of the valuation date. The fair value of the contingent consideration-warrants is equal to the probability adjusted value of
a call option with terms consistent with the terms of the warrants as of the valuation date. Prior to the probability adjustments, the
warrants were valued based on the following inputs:

1.4 million shares of common stock and approximately 465,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock that are contingent upon the
achievement of certain milestones.
As
a result of incurring a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, no potentially dilutive securities
are included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because such effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company had potentially dilutive
securities as of June 30, 2024, consisting of: (i) 1,758,323 restricted stock units and (ii) 532,112 options and warrants. The Company
had potentially dilutive securities as of June 30, 2023, consisting of: (i) 2,890,985 restricted stock units and (ii) 512,112 options
and warrants.

The
Company is a defendant in two class action claims and four derivative actions claiming that the Company promulgated false and misleading
press releases to increase the price of our stock to improperly benefit the officers and directors of the Company. The plaintiffs demand
compensatory damages sustained as a result of the Company’s alleged wrongdoing in an amount to be proven at trial. The Company
is also a party to three civil actions, one in the US and the other in the United Kingdom. Each of the civil actions is based on breach
of contract claims against the Company. The Company believes these lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend the cases vigorously.
The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse final decision in these cases.
As of the date of this report, the Company does not believe it is probable that these cases will result in an unfavorable outcome; however,
if an unfavorable outcome were to occur in these cases, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results
of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.
Note
11 – Share Repurchase Program
In
March 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that would allow the Company to repurchase up
to $ 30.0 million of CODX common stock. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of common
shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. The timing and amount
of any share repurchases under the share repurchase program will be determined by Co-Diagnostics’ management at its discretion
based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of the Company’s common stock, corporate and
regulatory requirements, and general market conditions.
For
accounting purposes, common stock repurchased under the stock repurchase program is recorded based upon the transaction date of the applicable
trade. Such repurchased shares are held in treasury and are presented using the cost method. These shares are not retired and are considered
issued but not outstanding. No shares were repurchased during the three or six months ended June 30, 2024.

Overview
The
following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations describes the principal factors
affecting the results of our operations, financial condition, and changes in financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction
with the accompanying unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The information contained in
this discussion is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We urge you to review carefully the section of this report entitled
“ Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. ”
Business
Overview
Co-Diagnostics,
Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company” or “CODX”), develops, manufactures and sells reagents used for diagnostic
tests that function via the detection and/or analysis of nucleic acid molecules (DNA or RNA), including robust and innovative molecular
tools for detection of infectious diseases, liquid biopsy for cancer screening, and agricultural applications. Our diagnostics systems
enable dependable, low-cost, molecular testing for organisms and genetic diseases by automating or simplifying historically complex procedures
in both the development and administration of tests. CODX’s technical advance involves a novel, patented approach to PCR test design
of primer and probe structure (“Co-Primers®”) that eliminates one of the key vexing issues of PCR amplification: the
exponential growth of primer-dimer pairs (false positives and false negatives) which adversely interferes with identification of the
target DNA/RNA. Using our proprietary test design system and proprietary reagents, we have designed and obtained regulatory approval
to sell PCR diagnostic tests for the detection of COVID-19, influenza, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, human papillomavirus, malaria,
chikungunya, dengue, and the Zika virus. These initial diagnostic tests are cleared for use in clinical labs only and not for point-of-care
or at-home use.
We
are currently developing a unique, groundbreaking portable diagnostic device and test system designed for point-of-care and at-home use.
The system is comprised of our PCR instrument that we refer to as the Co-Dx™ PCR Pro™ instrument, our proprietary diagnostic
test cup system and a mobile application to be installed on the user’s mobile device. We refer to the system as the “Co-Dx™
PCR platform that is being designed to bring affordable, reliable polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) testing to patients in
point-of-care and at-home settings. The Co-Dx PCR platform is subject to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) review
and is not available for sale at the time of this filing. In June 2024, we completed our first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
application for 510(k) clearance for the Co-Dx™ PCR Pro™ instrument, and the Co-Dx PCR COVID-19 Test for over-the-counter
(OTC) use. We have received acknowledgement from the FDA that the 510(k) application was received and is under review. Additionally,
in December 2023, we submitted the Co-Dx PCR platform for review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization
(EUA). There is no guarantee that our Co-Dx PCR platform will receive the necessary regulatory approvals for commercialization, or that,
if regulatory approval is received, we will be able to successfully commercialize this platform.
18
Technology
We
believe our proprietary molecular diagnostics technology is paving the way for innovation in disease detection and life sciences research
through our enhanced detection of genetic material. For various reasons, including owning our own platform, we believe we will be able
to accomplish this faster and more economically than some competitors, allowing for significant margins while still positioning ourselves
as a low-cost provider of molecular diagnostics and screening services. For example, we were the first US-based company to receive a
CE-marking for a COVID-19 test in early 2020, as we worked to help slow the spread of the pandemic through our global network of distributors
covering clinical labs in more than 50 countries. Our Logix Smart® COVID-19 test was designed, developed, submitted for regulatory
approval and ready to be used as an in vitro diagnostic or IVD in countries that accept a CE Mark as approval for use of the test in
a period of just over 30 days. This is a real-world example of how the CODX technology can be used in an evolving epidemic or pandemic
to get diagnostic tools in the hands of medical professionals in a timely manner. It can be similarly used to design a test for mutated
strains of the virus should they not be detectable using currently available tests.
In
addition, continued development has demonstrated the unique properties of our CoPrimer technology that we believe makes it ideally suited
for a variety of applications where specificity is key to optimal results, including multiplexing several targets, enhanced Single Nucleotide
Polymorphism (“SNP”) detection and enrichment for next generation sequencing.
Our
scientists use the complex mathematics of DNA/RNA PCR test design to engineer and optimize PCR tests and to automate algorithms that
rapidly screen millions of possible options to pinpoint the optimum design. The intellectual property we use in our business, consisting
of the predictive mathematical algorithms and patented molecular structure used in the testing process, which together represents a major
advance in PCR testing systems. CODX technologies are now protected by more than 20 granted or pending US and foreign patents, as well
as certain trade secrets and copyrights. Ownership of our proprietary platform permits us the advantage of avoiding payment of patent
royalties required by other PCR test systems, which may allow the sale of diagnostic PCR tests at a lower price than competitors, while
enabling us to maintain profit margins.
Our
proprietary test design process involves identifying the optimal locations on the target genes for amplification and pair the locations
with the optimized primer and probe structure to achieve outputs that meet the design input requirements identified from market research.
This is done by following planned and documented processes, procedures and testing. In other words, we use the data resulting from our
tests to verify whether we succeeded in designing what we intended. Verification involves a series of testing that concludes that the
product is ready to proceed to validation in an evaluation either in our laboratory or in an independent laboratory setting using initial
production tests to confirm that the product as designed meets the user needs.
Using
our proprietary test design system and proprietary reagents, we have designed and obtained regulatory approval in the European Community
and in India to sell PCR diagnostic tests for the detection of COVID-19, influenza, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, human papillomavirus,
malaria, chikungunya, dengue, and the Zika virus. In the United States, we obtained Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) for
our Logix Smart ® COVID-19 detection test from the Food and Drug Administration, or
FDA, and we sell that test to qualified labs. In addition, our COVID-19 detection test and certain of our other suite of COVID-19 products
have been approved for sale in countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia and Mexico by the regulatory bodies in those countries
and have been registered for sale in many more countries. In connection with the sale of our tests we may sell diagnostic equipment from
other manufacturers as self-contained lab systems (which we refer to as the “MDx Device”).
In
addition to testing for infectious disease, the technology lends itself to identifying any section of a DNA or RNA strand that describes
any type of genetic trait, which creates several significant applications. We, in conjunction with our customers, have designed and licensed
tests that identify genetic traits in plant and animal genomes. We also have three multiplexed tests developed to test mosquitos for
the identification of diseases carried by the mosquitos to enable municipalities to concentrate their efforts in managing mosquito populations
on the specific areas known to be breeding the mosquitos that carry deadly viruses.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The
Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months ended June 30, 2023
Revenues
For
the three months ended June 30, 2024, we generated revenues of $2,656,840, compared to revenues of $197,806 for the three months ended
June 30, 2023. Grant revenue accounted for $2,495,738 of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0 for the three
months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in grant revenue was primarily due to the achievement of certain milestones under various grants
the Company was awarded.
19
Cost
of Revenues
We
recorded cost of revenues of $212,148 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $459,095 for the three months ended June
30, 2023. The decrease in cost of revenues of $246,947 is primarily due to lower inventory obsolescence reserves recorded in the current
quarter.
Expenses
We
incurred total operating expenses of $10,124,654 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to total operating expenses of $11,733,150
for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to decreased stock-based compensation
expense, bad debt expense, and expense related to clinical trials for the Co-Dx PCR platform. These decreases were partially offset by
increased legal expenses.
Our
sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $1,041,243, compared to $1,732,966 for the three months ended
June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily a result of decreased stock-based compensation expense, tradeshow and travel expenses, and
website development expenses.
General
and administrative expenses were $3,132,385 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3,713,895 for the three months ended
June 30, 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to decreases in stock-based compensation expense,
bad debt expense, and insurance expense, partially offset by increased legal and professional services expenses.
Our
research and development expenses were $5,612,691 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5,981,043 for the three months
ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily a result of decreased expenses related to clinical trials for the Co-Dx PCR platform
and stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by increases in personnel related expenses.
Other
Income
For
the three months ended June 30, 2024 we had total other income of $101,234, compared to total other income of $837,294 for the three
months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in other income is primarily due to a change in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities
and decreased realized gains from investments in marketable securities, partially offset by increased interest income.
Net
Loss
We
realized a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $7,599,318, compared to a net loss for the three months ended June 30,
2023 of $8,918,825. The smaller net loss was primarily the result of an increase in grant revenue, combined with a decrease in operating
expenses, as well as changes in the fair value of acquisition contingencies and income related to investments in marketable securities.
Additionally, we recorded income tax expense of $20,590 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to an income tax benefit of
$2,238,320 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The primary reason for the change in the provision for income taxes is a result
of the Company now being in a full valuation allowance.
The
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Six Months ended June 30, 2023
Revenues
For
the six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated revenues of $3,124,694, compared to revenues of $799,763 for the six months ended June
30, 2023. Grant revenue accounted for $2,710,847 of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0 for the six months
ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in product revenue of $385,916 was primarily due to lower sales of our Logix Smart COVID-19 throughout
the world. The increase in grant revenue was primarily due to the achievement of certain milestones under various grants the Company
was awarded.
20
Cost
of Revenues
We
recorded cost of revenues of $446,653 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $961,336 for the six months ended June 30,
2023. The decrease in cost of revenues of $514,683 is primarily due to lower inventory obsolescence reserves being recorded in the current
year.
Expenses
We
incurred total operating expenses of $20,617,390 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to total operating expenses of $21,783,516
for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to decreased stock-based compensation expense,
bad debt expense and expense related to clinical trials for the Co-Dx PCR platform. These decreases were partially offset by increased
personnel related expenses and legal expenses.
Our
sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $2,604,925, compared to $3,439,297 for the six months ended
June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily a result of decreased stock-based compensation expense, tradeshow and travel expenses, and
website development expenses.
General
and administrative expenses were $6,051,188 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $6,727,860 for the six months ended June
30, 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to decreases in stock-based compensation expense, bad
debt expense, and insurance expense, partially offset by increased legal and professional services expenses.
Our
research and development expenses were $11,292,369 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $10,995,103 for the six months
ended June 30, 2023. The primary increase in expenses was a result of increased personnel related expenses, partially offset by decreased
expenses related to clinical trials for the Co-Dx PCR platform and stock-based compensation expense.
Other
Income
For
the six months ended June 30, 2024 we had total other income of $1,071,342, compared to total other income of $2,772,742 for the six
months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in other income is primarily due to a change in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities,
an increased loss related to the Company’s joint venture investment, and decreased realized gains from investments in marketable
securities, partially offset by increased interest income.
Net
Loss
We
realized a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $16,911,361, compared to a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023
of $14,674,216. The larger net loss was primarily the result of changes in the fair value of acquisition contingencies and income taxes,
partially offset by an increase in grant revenue combined with a decrease in operating expenses. We recorded income tax expense of $43,354
for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to an income tax benefit of $4,498,131 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The primary
reason for the change in the provision for income taxes is a result of the Company now recording a full valuation allowance.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13,858,866. Additionally, we had $31,020,811 of marketable investment securities
that could readily be converted into cash if needed. Additionally, our total current assets of June 30, 2024, were $48,219,239 compared
to total current liabilities of $5,305,385.
Net
cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $13,694,532, compared to $11,538,068 for the six months
ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to increased operating expenses and the impact
of non-cash items.
Net
cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $12,636,520, primarily from maturities of marketable
investment securities, compared to $3,433,041 during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Net
cash used in financing activities was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1,037,930 for the same period in the prior
year. This is due to the repurchase of outstanding common shares during the prior period, compared to no such repurchases in the current
period.
21
Since
commencing sales of our Logix Smart COVID-19 test in March 2020, we have used our cash generated from those sales to fund the purchase
of inventories and the development of our Co-Dx PCR platform, and to pay our operating expenses. We have increased our work force most
significantly in research and development in order to continue development of the Co-Dx PCR platform and additional tests that will enable
continued use of our distributor network to sell additional products throughout the world.
We
believe that our existing capital resources and the cash generated from future sales will be sufficient to meet our projected operating
requirements for the next 12 months. However, our available capital resources may be consumed more
rapidly than currently expected and we may need or want to raise additional financing for strategic opportunities. It is anticipated
that the Company will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations in the near term. If
needed, we expect additional investment capital to come from additional issuances of our common stock or other equity-based securities
with existing and new investors similar to those that have provided funding in the past. On March 16, 2023, the Company entered into
an Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Sandler & Co. (“Piper”), pursuant to which we may sell from time to time,
shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million through Piper, as agent. No shares have been sold
under the distribution agreement as of June 30, 2024. We may not be able to secure financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms,
if at all.
