ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT**’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Current report
On July 25, 2024, our board of directors approved a plan to implement a strategic cost savings initiative, primarily related to the consolidation of the operations of our Birmingham laboratory into our Pittsburgh laboratory. We began implementing the cost savings initiative in August 2024 and continue to review its progress and effectiveness, including the impact of the changes on our operating segments as described immediately above. In particular, we anticipate that our three segments will be reduced to two in future reporting periods with the closure of our Birmingham laboratory. The initiative is expected to reduce the Company’s run rate for cash used in operating activities by approximately 20% annually when fully implemented in Q4 2024.
Current report
We recorded revenue of $698,368 and $730,005 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily derived from the Eagan operating segment. The decrease in revenue from the comparative period was primarily due to a change in sales mix with decreased sales related to biologics in our Birmingham operating segment during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Current report
Cost of sales was $340,383 and $279,900 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The gross profit margin was approximately 51% and 62% in the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The decline in gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to increased labor costs.
Current report
G&A expense decreased by $276,246 to $4,764,265 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5,040,511 in the comparable period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreased employee compensation and decreased investor relations costs, offset by increased audit fees and consultant fees.
Current report
Operations expense increased by $124,024 to $1,995,584 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1,871,560 in the comparable period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher employee compensation.
Current report
Sales and marketing expense increased by $224,815 to $1,024,155 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $799,340 in the comparable period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to severance related to a former executive.
Current report
Loss on impairment of property and equipment. We recorded no losses on impairment of property and equipment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. We recorded a loss on impairment of property and equipment of $162,905 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. We prepared an undiscounted cash flow for our Birmingham asset group as of June 30, 2023, to evaluate long-lived assets, then completed a fair value assessment which resulted in the impairment and allocated the impairment to the assets of the affected asset group. Please seeNote 5–* Property and Equipment* to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Current report
Other expense. We incurred other expense of $1,834 during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to no other expense in the comparable period in 2023. We incurred other expense of $3,571 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to no other expense in the comparable period in 2023. Other expense in 2024 consisted primarily of interest expense.
Current report
Net cash used in operating activities was $6,634,072 and $7,002,033 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Cash used in operating activities decreased in the 2024 period primarily because of changes in working capital.
Current report
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,246,692 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The cash provided in the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to the ATM offering completed in May 2024.
Current report
On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into an ATM Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), to sell shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), having an aggregate sales price of up to $3,696,000, from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program pursuant to which Wainwright will act as sales agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Wainwright is permitted to sell the Shares by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Sales Agreement provides that Wainwright will be entitled to compensation for its services of 3.0% of the gross sales price of all shares sold through Wainwright under the Sales Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has sold 1,607,100 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $2.30 per share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3,696,000.

We have incurred significant and recurring losses from operations for the past several years and, as of March 31, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of $171,980,726. We had cash of $5,197,235 as of March 31, 2024, and need to raise significant additional capital to meet our operating needs. We had short-term obligations of $4,516,661 and long-term operating lease obligations of $2,027,348 as of March 31, 2024. We do not expect to generate sufficient operating revenue to sustain our operations in the near term. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred negative cash flows from operations of $3,416,021. Although we have attempted to improve our cash flows from operations by bolstering revenues and continue to seek ways to generate revenue through business development activities, there is no guarantee that we will be able to improve our cash flows from operations sufficiently or achieve profitability in the near term. As a result of these conditions, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are issued.

Previous wording
We are evaluating alternatives to obtain the required additional funding to maintain future operations. These alternatives may include, but are not limited to, equity financing, issuing debt, entering into other financing arrangements, or monetizing operating businesses or assets. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders or that result in our existing stockholders losing part or all of their investment. Despite these potential sources of funding, we may be unable to access financing or obtain additional liquidity when needed or under acceptable terms, if at all. If such financing or adequate funds from operations are not available, we would be forced to limit our business activities and we could default on existing payment obligations, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, and may ultimately be required to cease our operations and liquidate our business. Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
