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™ PCR 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 months ended March 31,
2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. These statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December
31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025. A summary of the
Company’s significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
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.
Liquidity
and Going Concern
In
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern, (“ASC 205-40”) the Company evaluated
whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern within one year after the date on which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed. Based on the Company’s
cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s current and forecasted level of operations,
and its forecasted cash flows, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the
necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and
to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to provide for the Company’s capital requirements through equity
financing, including through selling shares under the Company’s ATM Agreement, seeking additional grant funding, and through operational
efficiencies. Our ability to obtain additional financing in equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and
economic conditions, our performance and investor sentiment with respect to us and our industry. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to raise a sufficient amount of additional capital to fund operations with terms acceptable to the Company,
or at all. Because certain elements of management’s plans to mitigate the conditions that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern are outside of the Company’s control, including the ability to raise capital through equity
or other financings, those elements cannot be considered probable according to ASC 205-40, and therefore cannot be considered in the
evaluation of mitigating factors. As a result, management has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
7
The
condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue
as a going concern for the next 12 months after these financial statements are issued, and that contemplates the realization of assets
and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon its uncertain ability to obtain additional capital, reduce expenditures, and execute on its business plans.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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.
Operating
Segments
The
Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate
financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM
evaluates financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. There is no
expense or asset information that is supplemental to information disclosed within the condensed consolidated financial statements,
that is regularly provided to the CODM. The allocation of resources and assessment of performance of the operating segment is based
on consolidated net loss and functional expenses as reported on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss. Because the Company operates as one operating segment, financial segment information, including
expense and asset information, can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All material long-lived assets are
based in the United States.
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 March 31, 2025 total accounts receivable was $ 240,805 with an allowance for uncollectable
accounts of $ 104,414 resulting in a net amount of $ 136,391 . At December 31, 2024 total accounts receivable was $ 242,625 with an allowance
for uncollectable accounts of $ 110,055 resulting in a net amount of $ 132,570 . 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 March 31, 2025, the Company had $ 1,083,309 in inventory, of which $ 588,494 was finished
goods and $ 494,815 was raw materials. At December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 1,072,724 in inventory, of which $ 567,281 was finished goods
and $ 505,443 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 $ 41,474 and $ 311,339 related to the change in inventory reserves during the three months
ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
8
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.
Grant
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 $ 0 and
$ 0.2
million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company
has also recorded $ 0.1
million 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 months ended
March 31, 2025. Three customers accounted for approximately 59 % of product revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31,
2025. Three customers accounted for approximately 69 % of product revenue, and one granting agency accounted for 100 % of grant revenue
recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
9
Two
customers individually accounted for more than 10 % of accounts receivable at March 31, 2025 and two customers individually accounted
for more than 10 % of accounts receivable at December 31, 2024. These customers together accounted for approximately 89 % and 94 % of accounts
receivable at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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
November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements
to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures
about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for full year 2024 reporting, and for interim reporting beginning in 2025.
The adoption of this ASU did not change the way the Company evaluates its reportable segments and, as a result, did not have a material
impact on the Company’s segment-related disclosures.
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.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation
Disclosures, which requires an entity to disclose on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about specific income statement
expense categories. The guidance should be applied prospectively with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The standard
becomes effective for the Company for full year 2027 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31,
2024, 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
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:

$ 924,899
Change
in fair value of contingent consideration issued for business acquisitions
( 717,067 )
Fair value as of March 31, 2025
$ 207,832
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:

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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 March 31, 2025, consisting of: (i) 2,702,413 restricted stock units and (ii) 938,446 options and warrants. The Company
had potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2024, consisting of: (i) 2,564,310 restricted stock units and (ii) 532,112 options

Litigation
Liabilities
for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies
are expensed as incurred.
The
Company is a defendant in one class action claim 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, two 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 months ended March 31, 2025.

Executive
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. 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, proprietary approach to PCR test design of primer and probe structure (“Co-Primers ® ”)
that dramatically reduces one of the key vexing issues of PCR amplification: the exponential growth of primer-dimer amplification (false
positives) which adversely interferes with identification of the target DNA/RNA. Using our proprietary test design system and 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 patent-pending 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 which has been 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, the Co-Dx PCR COVID-19 Test, and the Co-Dx PCR mobile
app for over-the-counter (OTC) use. Following productive engagement with the FDA related to the regulatory submission, the Company withdrew
its 510(k) application. The decision to withdraw the submission was based on discussions with the FDA regarding the ability to detect
a potential deterioration of one component of the test, related to shelf-life stability. Following dialogue with the FDA and exploring
the various courses of action available, we determined that the best long-term solution would be to submit a version of the test that
has been enhanced to address the matter raised in the 510(k) review process. The Company plans to submit the next iteration of the Co-Dx
PCR COVID-19 test for 510(k) OTC clearance, following the collection of clinical evaluation data to support the new test’s performance.
A new submission also allows the Company to incorporate more recent Co-Dx PCR platform developments into the COVID-19 test, which Co-Dx
believes will also help create greater operational and manufacturing efficiencies, such as consolidating manufacturing processes to utilize
the next generation of test kits and instruments across all tests on the at-home and point-of-care Co-Dx PCR platform. 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.

Technology
We
believe our proprietary and patented 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 CE marking for regulatory
clearance in a period of just over 30 days. This is a real-world example of how 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 SARS-CoV-2 or other viruses should they not be detectable using currently available tests.
In
addition, continued development has demonstrated the unique properties of our Co-Primers 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 consists
of the predictive mathematical algorithms and patented molecular structure used in the testing process, which together represent 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 pairing 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 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 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 cleared for sale in countries
such as the United Kingdom, Australia, India, 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, including
an OEM’s PCR instrument which we refer to here as the “Co-Dx Box”.
In
addition to testing for infectious disease, Co-Primers 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 commercialized three multiplexed tests to test
mosquitos for the presence of diseases they carry, which enables municipalities to concentrate their efforts in managing mosquito populations
in specific areas where mosquitos carrying deadly viruses are known to breed.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2024
Revenues
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated revenues of $0.1 million, compared to revenues of $0.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in revenue was due to lower product and grant revenues recognized in the current period.
Cost
of Revenues
We
recorded cost of revenues of approximately $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2024. Included within cost of revenues is a decrease of approximately $41,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2025, and a decrease of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, related to reserves against certain
raw materials and finished goods inventories.
Expenses
Total
operating expenses were $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to total operating expenses of $10.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to decreased stock-based compensation
expense, personnel related expenses, tradeshow and travel expense, and expense related to development of the Co-Dx PCR platform. These
decreases were partially offset by increased legal expenses.
Sales
and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $0.7 million compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2024. The decrease of $0.9 million was primarily a result of decreased stock-based compensation expense, tradeshow and travel
expenses, consulting and professional services expenses, and personnel related expenses.
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $2.8 million compared to $2.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2024. Decreases in stock-based compensation expense and consulting and professional services expense were partially offset
by increased legal expenses.
Research
and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $4.9 million compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of decreased expenses related to development of the Co-Dx PCR platform, personnel
related expenses, and stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by increases in professional services expense.
Other
Income
Other
income was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to other income of $1.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2024. Decreases in interest income and realized gains from investments in marketable securities were offset by increases in
the change in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities.
Net
Loss
We
realized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $7.5 million, compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2024. The smaller net loss was primarily the result of decreases in sales and marketing expenses and research and development expenses. Additionally, we
recorded income tax expense of $12 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $22 thousand for the three months
ended March 31, 2024.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 million and marketable investment securities of $19.6 million. We consider our
marketable investment securities an important part of our liquidity and focus such investments in securities that can readily be converted
into cash if needed. Additionally, our total current assets at March 31, 2025, were $23.8 million compared to total current liabilities
of $5.4 million.
22
Net
cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $8.7 million, compared to $8.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to decreases in revenue, grant funding,
net interest income, and realized gains on investments.
Net
cash provided by investing activities was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $16.7 million during the
three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to the timing of the redemption
of certain investments as they matured.
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0 for the three months
ended March 31, 2024. The cash provided by financing activities during 2025 relates to issuances of common stock under the ATM.
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.
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 or debt financing. We have entered into an Amended and Restated Equity Distribution Agreement
(the “ATM Agreement”) with Piper Sandler & Co. (“Piper Sandler”) and Clear Street, LLC (“Clear
Street”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to
$17,111,650 from time to time through Piper Sandler and Clear Street acting as our agents, under our prospectus supplement dated
October 18, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, we have sold 833,806 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement resulting in net
proceeds to the Company of $0.6 million.
Although
we are seeking to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing, such funding is not assured and may not be available to us on
favorable or acceptable terms and may involve significant restrictive covenants. Any additional equity financing, if available to us
at all, will most likely be dilutive to our current stockholders. If we are not able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on a
timely basis, the impact on us will be material and adverse. These uncertainties create substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of these uncertainties .
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
