Current report
Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (“Bluejay,” the “Company,” “we” and/or “us”)) is a medical diagnostics company focused on improving patient outcomes in critical care settings. The Company is working on developing rapid tests using whole blood on its Symphony technology platform (“Symphony”), which consists of an analyzer and single-use protein detection cartridges that have a function of automatic stepwise feeding of reagent. The Company does not yet have regulatory clearance for Symphony, and it will need to receive regulatory authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) to be marketed as a diagnostic product in the United States. The Company has completed the development of the Symphony analyzer. The Company is planning to begin cartridge redevelopment either at an in-house facility or through a third-party contractor who would manage such redevelopment. Such redevelopment is intended to address several technical challenges to bring Symphony to a level consistent with necessary performance and quality requirements. After redevelopment, the Company plans to have manufacturing of the Symphony cartridges occur at a Contract Manufacturing Organization (“CMO”). To achieve its plan, the Company expects to need to raise at least $30 million of capital between the second quarter of 2025 and the end of the 2027 fiscal year, which the Company hopes to do in various tranches during this time period. The Company’s current plan, subject to achieving necessary financing, is to begin testing of samples it is collecting as part of its ongoing SYMON-II clinical trial in mid-2027, with a goal of being in position to submit a 510(k) regulatory application to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2027, with an objective of achieving FDA approval as early as the third quarter of 2028.
Current report
The Company’s first product candidate, the Symphony IL-6 test, is an immunoassay for the measurement of interleukin-6 (IL-6) to be used for the monitoring of disease progression in critical care settings. The Company is currently focused on pursuing the Symphony IL-6 test in the context of sepsis. IL-6 is a clinically established inflammatory biomarker, and is considered a ‘first-responder,’ for assessment of severity of infection and inflammation across many disease indications, including sepsis. A current challenge of healthcare professionals is the excessive time and cost associated determining a patient’s level of severity at triage and the Company believes that its Symphony IL-6 test, if ultimately successful and approved, could have the ability to consistently monitor this critical care biomarker with rapid results.
Current report
If the Company succeeds with the foregoing plan, in the future it hopes to develop additional tests for Symphony, including tests for myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure (cardiac biomarkers hsTNT and NT pro-BNP) as well as other tests using the Symphony platform.
Current report
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used approximately $1.2 million in cash for operating activities, a decrease of approximately $1.1 million as compared to approximately $2.3 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in working capital of approximately $664,000 and decreases in personnel and product development costs.
Current report
Net cash used in financing activities
Current report
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,116,103 and current liabilities of $1,316,677 on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. The Company has incurred net losses since its inception, and has negative cash flows from operations and had an accumulated deficit of $36,533,219 as of March 31, 2025. The Company expects that its net cash used in operating activities will continue to be negative over at least the next several years as it redevelops aspects of the Symphony cartridges and conducts clinical trial work and, if such redevelopment and trials are successful, begin preparation of an FDA submission. These financial results and financial position, and the Company’s expected forward-looking outwork of significant negative cash flow in the future, raise substantial doubt with respect to its ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of the Company’s lack of cash, it has slowed the timeline of its clinical trial work to preserve cash resources in the near-term, and the Company expects that this will delay its Symphony platform regulatory submission timeline until the fourth quarter of 2027, at the earliest, if it is even able to generate sufficient clinical trial results to support such a submission. If the Company fails to obtain additional material financing in the near-term, its clinical trials and targeted FDA submission timeline could be delayed further, and it could be forced to abandon such activities entirely and cease operations, with the possible loss of such properties or assets. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as it continues to generate negative cash flow, its board of directors could determine to cause the Company to undertake a process of liquidation under Chapter 7 of applicable U.S. bankruptcy laws, or otherwise seek other protection under such laws. In such event, the Company expects that holders of shares of its common stock would recoup little if any material value in such process. The Company currently estimates that the cash resources it possesses as of the date of this filing will be sufficient to fund its operations up to the third quarter of 2025.
Current report
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business.

Previous report
Our operations to date have been funded primarily through equity financings. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.8 million and current liabilities of approximately $1.0 million. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s net cash used in operating activities was approximately $6.1 million. The future viability of the Company is largely dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations. The Company expects that it will need to raise additional capital within the next twelve months to continue its operations as the current, cash resources will be sufficient to fund its operations through the first quarter of 2025. Although the Company has been able to raise capital in the past, there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In addition, recent fundraising by the Company has resulted in very high ownership dilution to shareholders, and given the Company’s current market capitalization and financing needs, it is likely that future fundraising may also be highly dilutive. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development program, product development or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects.
Previous report
We continue to develop the Symphony device and its first test for the measurement of IL-6, including conducting clinical trials to obtain additional data to support a submission to obtain FDA clearance of the Symphony device. However, our ability to continue these activities and continue operations (over the next twelve months) is dependent on the Company obtaining additional capital. If we fail to obtain additional financing within twelve months, we could be forced to abandon such activities entirely, with the possible loss of such properties or assets.
Previous report
There can be no assurance that such additional capital will be available on a timely basis or on acceptable terms. We currently do not have any contracts or commitments for additional financing. In addition, any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders.
Previous report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used approximately $6.1 million in cash for operating activities, an increase of approximately $545,000 as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily driven by the timing of payments made by the Company to their vendors when comparing the two periods.

We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $33.2 million as of September 30, 2024.
Current wording
Since inception, we have incurred net losses from operations each year and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred net losses of approximately $1.9 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Previous wording
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were approximately $0.6 million as compared to approximately $1.4 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to a reduction in technology transfer efforts which offset increased clinical trial expenses. We expect future research and development expenses to be focused on costs specifically associated with our clinical trial program supporting our regulatory strategy, technology transfer efforts and any necessary manufacturing improvements.
Current wording
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were approximately $0.8 million as compared to approximately $1.3 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to a reduction in technology transfer efforts which offset increased clinical trial expenses. We expect future research and development expenses to be focused on costs specifically associated with our clinical trial program supporting our regulatory strategy, technology transfer efforts and any necessary manufacturing improvements.
Previous wording
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were approximately $0.8 million as compared to approximately $1.0 million for the comparable period in 2023. The minor decrease in general and administrative expenses is due to continued efforts to preserve capital by limiting our investment in infrastructure and reducing professional services commensurate with our commercialization timeline. We expect to monitor and continue to pare our general and administrative spend, as necessary, to optimize operational alignment.
Current wording
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were approximately $1.1 million as compared to approximately $1.1 million for the comparable period in 2024. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to an increase in Delaware franchise tax expense of $0.1 million and largely offset by continued efforts to preserve capital by limiting our investment in infrastructure and reducing professional services commensurate with our commercialization timeline. We expect to monitor and continue to pare our general and administrative spend, as necessary, to optimize operational alignment.
Previous wording
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $753 as compared to $(19,619) for the comparable period in 2023. The low sales and marketing expenses in 2024 are due to a reduction in spending in all sales and marketing efforts and the negative 2023 amount is related to the cancellation and forfeiture of equity awards by terminated personnel.
Current wording
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were nil as compared to approximately $6,400 for the comparable period in 2024. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was due to a reduction in spending in all sales and marketing efforts.
Previous wording
Other income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $(120,352) of expense as compared to $43,235 of income for the same periods in 2023. The decrease in other income (expense), was primarily due to higher interest expense incurred associated with our notes payable under the Bridge Note Financing.
Current wording
Other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $24,482 as compared to $99,640 for the same periods in 2024. The decrease in net other income (expense) was primarily due to lower interest income due to a reduction in our cash balance resulting in a decrease of approximately $12,000 and a decrease of approximately $67,000 in related party income from NanoHybrids.
Previous wording
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used approximately $306,000 in cash for investing activities, a decrease of approximately $311,000 as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was due to limited purchasing of manufacturing equipment.
Current wording
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used no cash for investing activities, a decrease of approximately $35,000 as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was due to no purchasing of manufacturing equipment in 2025.
Previous wording
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we raised approximately $9.9 million in cash through financing activities, an increase of approximately $8.8 million as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in net cash generated by financing activities was due our public offering on January 2, 2024, the Bridge Note Financing in June 2024 and our public offering on June 28, 2024 as compared to our private placement of common stock in August 2023.
Current wording
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used $985 of cash in financing activities, a decrease of approximately $2.8 million as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in net cash generated by financing activities was due no fund raising in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to our public offering on January 2, 2024.
