Description of Business

 

bioAffinity Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” or “bioAffinity Technologies”), addresses the need for noninvasive diagnosis of early-stage cancer and diseases of the lung. The Company also is conducting early-stage research focused on advancing therapeutic discoveries that could result in broad-spectrum cancer treatments. bioAffinity Technologies develops proprietary noninvasive diagnostic tests using technology that preferentially targets cancer cells and 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”). Research and optimization of the Company’s proprietary platform for in vitro diagnostics and technologies are conducted in laboratories at The University of Texas at San Antonio and PPLS. The Company is developing its platform technologies so that in the future they will be able to detect, monitor, and treat diseases of the lung and other cancers.

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Going Concern

 

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 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 $44.6 million at December 31, 2023. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023, were approximately $2.8 million, representing 34% of total assets. Based on the Company’s current expected level of operating expenditures and the cash and cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2023, 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 consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company may 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 its future operations. If such funding is not available or not available on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company’s current development plan may be curtailed. On March 8, 2024, the Company issued to certain investors, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) (1) 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”), par value $0.007 per share (“Common Stock”) in a registered direct offering, and (2) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants”) with an exercise price of $1.64, in a concurrent private placement. The direct offering resulted in net proceeds of $2.05 million. Furthermore, an alternative source of funding to the sale of additional equity or debt securities is the exercising of outstanding warrants. No adjustments have been made to the presented consolidated financial statements as a result of this uncertainty.
