CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are predictive in nature, depend on or refer to future events or conditions, and are sometimes identified by words such as “may,” “could,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “pursue,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “seek,” “potentially,” “will likely result,” “outlook,” “budget,” “objective,” “trend,” or similar expressions of a forward-looking nature and the negative versions of such expressions. The forward-looking information contained in this report is generally located under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” but may be found in other locations as well. The forward-looking statements in this report generally relate to the plans and objectives for future operations of bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. and are based on our management’s reasonable estimates of future results or trends. Although we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable, all forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and our projections and expectations may be incorrect. The factors that may affect our expectations regarding our operations include, among others, the following:
| ● | our projected financial position and estimated cash burn rate; | |
| ● | our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues, and capital requirements; | |
| ● | the success, cost, and timing of our clinical trials; | |
| ● | our ability to obtain funding for our operations necessary to complete further development and commercialization of our diagnostic tests or therapeutic product candidates; | |
| ● | our dependence on third parties, including the conduct of our clinical trials; | |
| ● | our ability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to market and commercialize our diagnostic tests or therapeutic product candidates; | |
| ● | the potential that the results of our pre-clinical and clinical trials indicate our current diagnostic tests or any future diagnostic tests or therapeutic product candidates we may seek to develop are unsafe or ineffective; | |
| ● | the results of market research conducted by us or others; | |
| ● | our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property (“IP”) protection for our current diagnostic test or future diagnostic tests and therapeutic product candidates; | |
| ● | our ability to protect our IP rights and the potential for us to incur substantial costs from lawsuits to enforce or protect our IP rights; | |
| ● | the possibility that a third party may claim we or our third-party licensors have infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated their IP rights and that we may incur substantial costs and be required to devote substantial time defending against such claims; | |
| ● | the success of competing therapies, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic products that are or will become available; | |
| ● | our ability to expand our organization to accommodate potential growth and to retain and attract key personnel; | |
| ● | our potential to incur substantial costs resulting from product liability lawsuits against us and the potential for such lawsuits to cause us to limit the commercialization of our diagnostic tests and therapeutic product candidates; | |
| ● | market acceptance of our diagnostic test and diagnostic tests in development and therapeutic product candidates, the size and growth of the potential markets for our current diagnostic test, diagnostic tests in development, and therapeutic product candidates, and any future diagnostic tests and therapeutic product candidates we may seek to develop, and our ability to serve those markets; | |
| ● | the successful development of our commercialization capabilities, including sales and marketing capabilities; | |
| ● | compliance with government regulations, including environmental, health, and safety regulations, and liabilities thereunder; | |
| ● | the impact of a health epidemic on our business, our clinical trials, our research programs, healthcare systems, or the global economy as a whole; | |
| ● | general instability of economic and political conditions in the United States (“US”), including inflationary pressures, increased interest rates, economic slowdown or recession, and escalating geopolitical tensions; |
| 2 |
| ● | compliance with government regulations, including environmental, health, and safety regulations, and liabilities thereunder; | |
| ● | anticipated uses of net proceeds from our financings; | |
| ● | the increased expenses associated with being a public company; and | |
| ● | other factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. |
Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties, as well as risks and uncertainties that are currently unknown to us, are, and may be, exacerbated by factors such as the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the war in the Middle East, escalating tensions between China and Taiwan, uncertainty regarding tariffs, increasing economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures, and any consequent worsening of the global business and economic environment. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report or any other filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) occur or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements we make herein and therein prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference within it with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, ORGANIZATION, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
bioAffinity Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” or “bioAffinity Technologies”), addresses the need for noninvasive diagnosis of lung cancer at early stage and other diseases of the lung. bioAffinity Technologies’ proprietary platform uses flow cytometry and automated data analysis built by machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence (“AI”), to preferentially target cancer cell populations and other cell populations indicative of a diseased state. The Company’s first diagnostic test, CyPath® Lung, is a noninvasive test for early detection of lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. CyPath® Lung is offered for sale to physicians by the Company’s subsidiary, Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, LLC (“PPLS”). The Company also conducted and intends to seek strategic partners to advance therapeutic discoveries that could in the future result in broad-spectrum cancer treatments. Research and optimization of the Company’s proprietary platform technologies are conducted in laboratories at PPLS and laboratory space leased at The University of Texas at San Antonio.
Organization
The Company was formed on March 26, 2014, as a Delaware corporation with its corporate offices located in San Antonio, Texas. On June 15, 2016, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, OncoSelect® Therapeutics, LLC, as a Delaware limited liability company. On August 14, 2023, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, PPLS, as a Texas limited liability company, to acquire the assets of Village Oaks Pathology Services, P.A. (“Village Oaks”), a Texas professional association d/b/a Precision Pathology Services, including the clinical pathology laboratory it owned.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and in management’s opinion include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
The Company has incurred significant
losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows for
the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the U.S. requires management to make significant judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable based upon information presently available. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect its financial statements, those of its wholly owned subsidiaries, and certain variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, OncoSelect® Therapeutics, LLC and PPLS, and the variable interest entity, Village Oaks. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
| 9 |
In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, it applies a qualitative approach that determines whether it has both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. The Company continuously assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in the Company consolidating or deconsolidating one or more of its collaborators or partners.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Concentration of Risk
The Company has significant cash balances at financial
institutions which throughout the year regularly exceed the federally insured limit of $
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred.
Advertising expense was $
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period and the weighted-average number of dilutive Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive Common Stock equivalents are comprised of in-the-money stock options, convertible notes payable, unvested restricted stock, and warrants based on the average stock price for each period using the treasury stock method.

Revenue Recognition
To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Post-acquisition of PPLS, additional revenue streams have been consolidated starting September 19, 2023. PPLS generates three sources of revenue: (1) patient service fees, (2) histology service fees, and (3) medical director fees. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for goods sold or services rendered primarily upon completion of the testing process (when results are reported) or when services have been rendered.
The Company follows a standard process, which considers historical denial and collection experience and other factors (including the period of time that the receivables have been outstanding), to estimate contractual allowances and implicit price concessions, recording adjustments in the current period as changes in estimates. The process for estimating revenues and the ultimate collection of accounts receivable involves significant judgment and estimation.

Property and Equipment
In accordance with ASC 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, such as property, equipment, and definite-lived intangible assets, to test whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If an asset’s carrying value exceeds such estimated cash flows (undiscounted and with interest charges), the Company records an impairment charge for the difference. The Company did not record any impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2025, or for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Useful lives of each asset class are as follows:
| Asset Category | Useful Life | |
| Computer equipment | ||
| Computer software | ||
| Equipment | ||
| Furniture and fixtures | ||
| Vehicles | ||
| Leasehold improvements |
| 11 |
Intangible Assets
The Company’s acquisition of
PPLS on September 18, 2023, identified goodwill and intangible assets. Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of fair
values assigned to the underlying identifiable net assets of the acquired business. The Company tests goodwill for impairment
annually, therefore, does not record amortization. The intangible assets and their respective useful lives are as follows: trade
names and trademarks (

Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company’s research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for laboratory operations, preclinical studies, compensation, and consulting costs.
Accrued Research and Development Costs
The Company records accrued liabilities for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by service providers, which include preclinical studies. The Company records the estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced and includes these costs in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and within research and development expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company accrues for these costs based on factors such as estimates of the work completed and in accordance with agreements established with service providers. The Company makes significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued expenses balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accrued liabilities. The Company has not experienced any material differences between accrued costs and actual costs incurred since its inception.
Regulatory Matters
Regulations imposed by federal, state, and local authorities in the U.S. are a significant factor in providing medical care. In the U.S., drugs, biological products, and medical devices are regulated by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), which is administered by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the CMS. The Company has not yet obtained marketing authorization from the FDA but is able to market its CyPath® Lung test as a laboratory developed test (“LDT”) sold by Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, a CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified clinical pathology laboratory and wholly owned subsidiary.

Note 7. UNEARNED REVENUE
The Company engaged in an observational study of CyPath®
Lung with the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”). A total of 70 CyPath® Lung units were ordered and shipped.
However, in compliance with FASB ASC 606, the performance obligation was complete for only 40 units as of March 31, 2025. The performance
obligation is deemed complete after samples have been collected, processed, and analyzed and results communicated to patients. The unearned
revenue balance amounted to $
Note 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the FASB accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three levels of the hierarchy and the related inputs are as follows:
| Level | Inputs | |
| 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; | |
| Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities. | ||
| 2 | Unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or | |
| inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. | ||
| 3 | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and note payable, are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Note 9. LEASES
The Company has one operating lease for its real estate
and office space for the CAP/CLIA laboratory, as well as multiple finance leases for lab equipment in Texas that were acquired through
the September 18, 2023 acquisition. Additionally, the Company entered into another operating lease on September 1, 2024, with regard to
office space. The Company has operating leases consisting of office space with remaining lease terms ranging from
The lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit
borrowing rate. Therefore, the Company used a benchmark approach as of the date of inception of the leases to derive an appropriate incremental
borrowing rate to discount remaining lease payments. The Company benchmarked itself against other companies of similar credit ratings
and comparable quality and derived imputed interest rates ranging from
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheets. There are no material residual guarantees associated with any of the Company’s leases, and there are no significant restrictions or covenants included in the Company’s lease agreements. Certain leases include variable payments related to common area maintenance and property taxes, which are billed by the landlord, as is customary with these types of charges for office space. The Company has not entered into any lease arrangements with related parties, and the Company is not the sublessor in any arrangement.
The Company’s existing leases contain escalation clauses and renewal options. The Company has evaluated several factors in assessing whether there is reasonable certainty that the Company will exercise a contractual renewal option. For leases with renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, the Company included the renewal term in the total lease term used in calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
This section presents management’s perspective on our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis (the “MD&A”) is intended to highlight and supplement data and information presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the discussion under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the 2024 Form 10-K. The MD&A is also intended to provide you with information that will assist you in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in key items in those consolidated financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes. To the extent that this discussion describes prior performance, the descriptions relate only to the periods listed, which may not be indicative of our future financial outcomes. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause the Company’s financial results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this Quarterly Report and in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2024 Form 10-K.
Data as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, has been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing at the beginning of this Quarterly Report. Results for any interim period should not be construed as an inference of what our results would be for any full fiscal year or future period.
Our MD&A is organized as follows:
| ● | Company Overview – Discussion of our business plan and strategy to provide context for the remainder of the MD&A. | |
| ● | Results of Operations – Analysis of our financial results comparing three months ended March 31, 2025, to the comparable period in 2024. | |
| ● | Liquidity and Capital Resources – Analysis of changes in our cash flows and discussion of our financial condition and potential sources of liquidity. | |
| ● | Critical Accounting Estimates – Accounting estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results and forecasts. |
Company Overview
Business
We develop noninvasive diagnostics to detect early-stage lung cancer and other diseases of the lung using flow cytometry and automated analysis developed by machine learning, a form of AI. One of our diagnostic tests analyzes cell populations, including cancer and cancer-related cells, that are indicative of a specific diseased state.
Our diagnostic test, CyPath® Lung, addresses the need for noninvasive detection of early-stage lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Physicians order CyPath® Lung to assist in their assessment of patients who are at high risk for lung cancer. The CyPath® Lung test enables physicians to more confidently identify patients who will likely benefit from timely intervention and more invasive follow-up procedures and those who are likely without lung cancer and should continue routine screening. CyPath® Lung has the potential to increase overall diagnostic accuracy of lung cancer, which could lead to increased survival, fewer unnecessary invasive procedures, reduced patient anxiety, and lower medical costs.
Commercial laboratory services, including CyPath® Lung, are performed at our wholly owned subsidiary PPLS which we acquired by purchasing the assets of Village Oaks Pathology Services, P.A., a Texas professional association d/b/a Precision Pathology Services, that included the CAP-accredited and CLIA-certified commercial laboratory it owned. We now own and operate the clinical anatomic and clinical pathology laboratory. CyPath® Lung is offered for sale to physicians by PPLS.
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, OncoSelect® Therapeutics, LLC, we have conducted research that has led to discoveries and advancement of novel cancer therapeutic approaches that specifically and selectively target cancer cells. We expect to present our findings at conferences and publish our research in the near future. We intend to seek strategic partners to develop our therapeutic discoveries which could result in broad-spectrum cancer treatments in the future.
Research and optimization of our platform technologies are conducted in laboratories at our wholly owned subsidiary PPLS and leased laboratory space at The University of Texas at San Antonio.
Current Year Financial Highlights
Key financial results for the three months quarter ended March 31, 2025, include:
| ● | Consolidated revenue decreased approximately 23% to $1.9 million as compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily as a result of the Company’s targeted strategic actions to discontinue certain unprofitable pathology services, reduce costs through operational efficiency and drive sales growth for CyPath® Lung. | |
| ● | CyPath® Lung testing revenue increased approximately 275% to $169,000 as compared to $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to an increase in total test results delivered of approximately 200 for the current quarter. | |
| ● | The Company raised approximately $1.4 million in gross proceeds from equity transactions to fund operating activities. |

Recent Developments
On May 8, 2025, the Company released “CyPath® Lung In Practice” authored by Gordon Downie, MD, PhD, Director of the Titus Regional Hospital Lung Nodule Clinic and Interventional Pulmonology, in which he presented his experience and approach to using CyPath® Lung in medical practice, including four case studies in which CyPath® Lung proved clinically determinative. Dr. Downie opined that “adding CyPath® Lung to our algorithm has accelerated diagnosis, helped guide difficult clinical discussions, and prevented unnecessary invasive procedures.”
On May 7, 2025, the Company completed a public offering of securities for gross proceeds to the Company of $3.25 million, before deducting agent fees and other estimated expenses payable by the company. The offering consisted of 10,156,250 shares of our Common Stock, of which 2,371,346 were pre-funded warrants, together with warrants to purchase up to 15,234,375 shares of Common Stock, at a combined offering price for each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant) and accompanying warrant of $0.32 per share. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.352 per share and have certain provisions that allow for additional shares to be issued in the event of a reverse split of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, the warrants include an anti-dilution adjustment which is subject to stockholders approval.
On April 1, 2025, the Company increased the list price of CyPath® Lung to $2,900 from $1,900 after evaluating reimbursement provisions in agreements executed with private insurance carriers to take best advantage of payment terms.
On March 7, 2025, we announced targeted strategic actions to improve financial performance and accelerate the commercial growth of CyPath® Lung, taking steps to deliver up to $3 to $4 million in annual cost savings at its subsidiary Precision Pathology Laboratory Services (PPLS), while increasing resources to expand CyPath® Lung sales in high-potential national markets. Specifically, cost savings are a result of labor cost reductions, operational efficiency enhancements, and discontinuing certain unprofitable pathology services to focus on high-margin services such as CyPath® Lung.
On February 26, 2025, we entered into a warrant inducement agreement with certain holders of existing warrants, such holders exercised for cash a total of 2,438,473 warrants originally issued in August 2024 and October 2024, at the reduced exercise price of $0.58 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.4 million, before deducting advisory fees and other expenses payable by it. In consideration of the immediate exercise of the October Warrants and August Warrants, the Company issued unregistered common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,926,166 shares of Common Stock (120% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants) at an exercise price of $0.85 per share, which warrants are not exercisable until our stockholders approve such exercise.
Financial
To date, we have devoted a substantial portion of our efforts and financial resources to the development of our diagnostic test, CyPath® Lung. As a result, since our inception in 2014, we have funded our operations principally through private and public sales of our equity (“IPO”). As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.4 million. As of May 13, 2025, after the 2025 equity financing, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million, which we expect will not support our operations through August 2025. We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expect to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. Based on the Company’s current expected level of operating expenditures and the cash and cash equivalents on hand at March 31, 2025, management concludes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve (12) months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Prior to acquisition of the clinical pathology laboratory by PPLS, Village Oaks, under the trade name Precision Pathology Services, had licensed and developed CyPath® Lung as a laboratory developed test (“LDT”) for sale to physicians. The license agreement provided that revenues from the sale would be split evenly between the Company and Village Oaks. In the second quarter of 2022, prior to the acquisition, we started to recognize revenue as part of a limited beta market testing program of the CyPath® Lung test. We have never been profitable, and as of March 31, 2025, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $1.6 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $56.3 million. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our diagnostic tests and advance our diagnostic tests through clinical trials.
We anticipate raising additional cash needed through the private or public sales of equity or debt securities, collaborative arrangements, or a combination thereof to continue to fund our operations and develop our products. There is no assurance that any such collaborative arrangement will be entered into or that financing will be available to us when needed in order to allow us to continue our operations or, if available, on terms acceptable to us. If we do not raise sufficient funds in a timely manner, we may be forced to curtail operations, delay our clinical trials, cease operations altogether, or file for bankruptcy.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was approximately $2.7 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Revenue
Since acquisition of the clinical pathology laboratory on September 19, 2023, additional revenue streams have been consolidated. PPLS generates three sources of revenue: (1) patient service fees, (2) histology service fees, and (3) medical director fees. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for goods sold or services rendered primarily upon completion of the testing process (when results are reported) or when services have been rendered.

Operating expenses totaled approximately $4.5 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in operating expenses is the result of the following factors:
Direct costs and expenses
Our direct costs and expenses are primarily direct labor for pathology services, laboratory supplies and reagents, laboratory equipment, and allocated shared facilities. Direct costs and expenses totaled $1.4 million and $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of approximately $206,000, or 13%, for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily attributable to the targeted strategic actions which occurred in March 2025, aimed at streamlining operations and reducing costs related to our lab operations.
| 20 |
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for lab operations, preclinical studies, compensation, and consulting costs.
Research and development expenses totaled approximately $367,000 and $394,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of $26,000, or 7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily attributable to a decrease in compensation costs and benefits and lab supplies.
Clinical Development
Clinical development expenses totaled approximately $138,000 and $49,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $89,000, or 183%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily attributable to an increase in professional fees in 2025 related to managing our clinical strategy for our pivotal clinical trial.
Selling, General and Administrative
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenditures related to employee compensation, selling and marketing costs, legal, accounting, tax and other professional services, and general operating expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $2.4 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of approximately 267,000, or 12%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily attributable an increase in employee compensation related to administrative and sales due to additional personnel and support services to support the growth of sales of our diagnostic test, CyPath® Lung.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled $154,588 and $149,637 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The depreciation and amortization remained relatively consistent compared to the prior year period as the assets have remained consistent.

Interest income (expense)
Interest expense of approximately $14,000 and $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, increased in the current year due to the interest recognized related to the financing lease for laboratory equipment compared to the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a decrease in interest income earned on cash balances.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense), net totaled ($9,640) and $4,510 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the other income (expense) of $14,150 is primarily attributable to property taxes.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern
To date, we have funded our operations primarily through our IPO, exercise of stock options and warrants, and the sale of our securities, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $46.0 million. We have evaluated whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
We have incurred losses since our inception in 2014 as a result of significant expenditures for operations and research and development and, prior to April 2022, the lack of any approved diagnostic test or therapeutic products to generate revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we had net losses of $2.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and we expect to incur substantial additional losses in future periods. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $56.3 million as of March 31, 2025. Despite our recent financing in May 2025 in which we raised gross proceeds of $3.25 million, and our financing in February 2025, in which we raised gross proceeds of approximately $1.4 million, we believe our current cash and anticipated revenue from operations will be sufficient to support our operations through August 2025. Based on our current expected level of operating expenditures, current expected levels of revenue, and the cash and cash equivalents on hand at March 31, 2025, of $0.4 million, management concludes that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve (12) months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We need to raise further capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or other debt instruments, strategic relationships or grants, or through exercised outstanding warrants to support our future operations unless our revenue increases significantly. Our business plan includes expansion for our commercialization efforts which will require additional funding. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue and raise capital from financing transactions. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing these objectives.
We continue to seek sources of financing to fund our continued operations and research and development programs. To raise additional capital, we may sell additional equity or debt securities, or enter into collaborative, strategic, and/or licensing transactions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any financing transaction in a timely manner or on acceptable terms or otherwise enter into a collaborative or strategic transaction. If we are not able to raise additional cash, we may be forced to delay, curtail, or cease development of our diagnostic tests or therapeutic products, or cease operations altogether.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.6 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of approximately $0.7 million in cash used by operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $660,000 in our loss from operations, a decrease in patient accounts receivables of approximately $487,000, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $863,000.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
We used approximately $51,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, in investing activities related primarily to the purchase of computer and laboratory equipment, compared to $41,000 used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.0 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change is primarily attributable to the net proceeds from our financing in February 2025, in which we raised gross proceeds of approximately $1.4 million, compared to our March 2024 financing, in which we raised gross proceeds of $2.5 million.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with third-party contract organizations for clinical trials and other services and products used for research and development and operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination following a certain period after notice, and therefore we believe that any non-cancelable obligations under these agreements are not material.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make significant judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable based upon information presently available. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.
Patient Fee Revenues
We follow ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires revenue recognition in the period in which the service was performed. To be able to report timely net revenues for the period, estimates are used for a portion of uncollected balances. The Company follows a standard process, which considers historical denial and collection experience and other factors (including the period of time that the receivables have been outstanding), to estimate contractual allowances and implicit price concessions, recording adjustments in the current period as changes in estimates. The process for estimating revenues and the ultimate collection of accounts receivable involves significant judgment and estimation.
Patient Fee Receivables and Considerations for Credit Losses
We follow accounting considerations of CECL - Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. With the acquisition of PPLS and control of Village Oaks, the Company’s board-certified pathologists provide anatomic and clinical pathology services for patients and other customers. The Company’s other customer types include contract research organizations (“CROs”), hospitals, and independent laboratories. The majority of the Company’s revenues stem from fees for services provided to patients, and thus in those arrangements, the patient is the customer, although the services may be requested by a physician on the patient’s behalf. Furthermore, in addition to its contracts with patients, the Company separately contracts with third-party payors (insurance companies and governmental payors), who are typically responsible for all or the majority of the fees agreed upon for such services provided to patients. Historically, material amounts of gross charges are not collected due to various agreements with insurance companies, capped pricing levels for government payors, and uncollectible balances from individual payors. To estimate these allowances of credit losses, the Company assesses the portfolio risk segments and historical data on collection rates. These estimated allowances offset patient revenues and accounts receivables.
Discount Rate for Finance Leased Equipment
We follow ASC 842, Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued Topic ASC 842, under which a lessee is required to recognize most leases on its balance sheet. We have elected to apply a third-party valuation incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) as the discount rate by class of underlying assets when the rate is not implicit in the lease.
Stock-Based Compensation
We follow ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors, and non-employees based on estimated fair values. We have used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate grant date fair value for all option grants. The assumptions we use in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. Since we use different assumptions based on a change in factors, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
Accounting for Income Taxes
We are governed by U.S. income tax laws, which are administered by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). We follow ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which the related temporary difference becomes deductible.

Going Concern
Our evaluation of our ability to continue as a going concern requires us to evaluate our future sources and uses of cash sufficient to fund our currently expected operations and research and development activities one year from the date our consolidated financial statements are issued. We evaluate the probability associated with each source and use of cash resources in making our going concern determination. The research and development of our diagnostic tests and therapeutic products are inherently subject to uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not engage in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, as a part of our ongoing business. Accordingly, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during any of the periods presented.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are both an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and are therefore subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
As a smaller reporting company, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified under the rules of the SEC. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of March 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. Based on their assessment, they have concluded that as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the period covered by this Quarterly Report, that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we are involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. To date, we have had no material pending legal proceedings, and we are not engaged in any legal proceedings that are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in the 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial might materially adversely affect our actual business, financial condition, and operating results. The following information updates and should be read in conjunction with the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our 2024 Form 10-K. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Risks Related to Our Financial Position
Our business plan relies upon our ability to obtain additional sources of capital and financing. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may be required to cease operations.
Prior to 2022, we had not generated any revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated revenue of approximately $1.9 million, and $9.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.
To become and remain profitable, we must succeed in generating additional laboratory revenue and developing and commercializing our diagnostic tests and therapeutic products that we expect will generate significant income in the planned timeframe. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including completing preclinical testing and clinical trials of our diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, obtaining regulatory approval for our diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, manufacturing, marketing, and selling any diagnostic tests and therapeutic products for which we may obtain regulatory approval, and establishing and managing our collaborations at various phases of each diagnostic test and therapeutic product candidate’s development. We are in the preliminary phases of these activities. We may never succeed in these activities and, even if we do, may never generate sufficient income to achieve profitability.
To become profitable, we must develop our diagnostic tests and therapeutic products, which will depend in large part on our ability to:
| ● | Develop, enhance, and protect our diagnostic tests and therapeutic products; | |
| ● | Raise sufficient funding to support our diagnostic tests and therapeutic product development program(s); | |
| ● | Complete pre-clinical testing; |
| 24 |
| ● | Work with our partners to expand commercialization of our first diagnostic test, CyPath® Lung, as an LDT under the CAP/CLIA guidelines and regulations administered by CMS and CAP; | |
| ● | Obtain de novo classification from FDA for our CyPath® Lung as a Class II in vitro diagnostic; | |
| ● | Work with our partners to develop and commercialize our first diagnostic test, CyPath® Lung, as a CE-marked test in accordance with the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (“IVDR”) of the European Union (“EU”); | |
| ● | Synthesize, test, and attract licensing partners for drug conjugates, siRNAs, and other therapeutics (and methods for their use) developed by the Company; | |
| ● | Develop and conduct human clinical studies to support the regulatory approval and marketing of our diagnostic test(s) and therapeutic product(s); | |
| ● | Develop and manufacture the test(s) and product(s) to FDA standards, appropriate EU standards, and appropriate standards required for the commercialization of our tests and products in countries in which we seek to sell our diagnostic test(s) and therapeutic product(s); | |
| ● | Obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to market our diagnostic test(s) and therapeutic product(s); | |
| ● | Secure the necessary personnel and infrastructure to support the development, commercialization, and marketing of our diagnostic test(s) and therapeutic product(s); and | |
| ● | Develop strategic relationships to support development, manufacturing, and marketing of our diagnostic test(s) and therapeutic product(s). |
Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to become and remain profitable would depress our value and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, maintain the research and development efforts, diversify our diagnostic tests and therapeutic product offerings, or even continue our operations. A decline in our value could also cause you to lose all or part of your investment.
We must raise additional capital to fund our operations in order to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $56.3 million and $0.4 million cash on hand. As of May 13, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents were $2.3 million. Despite our recent financings, we will need to raise further capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or other debt instruments, strategic relationships or grants, or other arrangements to support our future operations. Our business plan includes expansion for our commercialization efforts which will require additional funding. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue and raise capital from financing transactions. Without funding from the proceeds of a capital raise or strategic relationship or grant, management anticipates that our cash resources are sufficient to continue operations through August 2025. Based on our current expected level of operating expenditures, current expected levels of revenue, and the cash and cash equivalents on hand at March 31, 2025, of $0.4 million, management concludes that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve (12) months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of new business opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. Without such additional capital, we may be required to curtail or cease operations and be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment. WithumSmith+Brown, PC, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, has included an explanatory paragraph in its opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We are unable to precisely estimate when we will begin to generate significant profit from revenue, if ever, from PPLS’ services, the amount of profit or revenue that will be generated, or the expenses that will be incurred.
We do not expect to immediately derive profit from revenue from PPLS’ services. Since its acquisition in September 2023, we have generated $13.7 million in revenue from PPLS. Once we begin to generate such profit, there is no guarantee that it will be sufficient to realize the expected financial benefits of the acquisition. In addition, since we have limited experience operating a clinical laboratory, we may not accurately estimate the expenses we will incur.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock and Warrants
Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a de-listing of our Common Stock.
The shares of our Common Stock are listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BIAF” and our Tradeable Warrants are listed under the symbol “BIAFW.” On February 7, 2025, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (December 23, 2024, through February 6, 2025), our Common Stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our Common Stock, and the Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BIAF.” In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 6, 2025, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance may be achieved without further action if the closing bid price of our Common Stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify us if it determines we are in compliance and the matter will be closed; however, Nasdaq may require the closing bid price to equal or to exceed the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for more than 10 consecutive business days before determining that a company complies.
If, however, we do not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by August 6, 2025, we may be eligible for additional time to comply. In order to be eligible for such additional time, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and must notify Nasdaq in writing of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. We intend to actively monitor the bid price of our Common Stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements.
If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, such as the corporate governance requirements, the stockholder’s equity requirement, or the minimum closing bid price requirement, The Nasdaq Capital Market may take steps to de-list our Common Stock or Tradeable Warrants. As reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our stockholders’ equity of approximately $1.4 million is below the Nasdaq required stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million. As a result, we will be unable to request an additional 180 day period within which to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Such a de-listing or even notification of failure to comply with such requirements would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and Tradeable Warrants and would impair the ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a de-listing, we would take actions to restore our compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Common Stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price, improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from dropping below The Nasdaq Capital Market minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements.
The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, it is a covered security. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were to be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, our Common Stock would cease to be recognized as a covered security and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.
Our management collectively owns a substantial percentage of our Common Stock.
Based on the provisions for determining beneficial ownership in accordance with Rule 13d-3 and Item 403 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, our officers and directors own or exercise control of approximately 26% of the voting power of our outstanding Common Stock. As a result, investors may be prevented from affecting matters involving our Company, including:
| ● | the composition of our board and, through it, any determination with respect to our business direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of officers; | |
| ● | any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations; | |
| ● | our acquisition or disposition of assets; and | |
| ● | our corporate financing activities. |
Furthermore, this concentration of voting power could have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change of control or other business combination that might otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders. This significant concentration of share ownership may also adversely affect the trading price for our Common Stock because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning stock in a company that is controlled by a small number of stockholders.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
We did not sell any equity securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act other than as previously disclosed in our filings with the SEC.
