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 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 identifies cancer cells and cell populations indicative of a diseased state for analysis using proprietary platforms developed using artificial intelligence (“AI”). 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 forin vitro diagnostics and technologies are conducted in laboratories at PPLS and The University of Texas at San Antonio. 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.

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, Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, LLC (“PPLS”), as a Texas limited liability company, to acquire the assets of Village Oaks Pathology Services, P.A., a Texas professional association d/b/a Precision Pathology Services (“Village Oaks”), 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (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, 2023, 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, 2024, 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, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 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 $48.7 million at June 30, 2024. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024, were approximately $0.8 million. Based on the Company’s current expected level of operating expenditures and the cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2024, 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. Therefore, on August 2, 2024, the Company entered into warrant agreements to existing accredited investors to exercise the current outstanding warrants and issue additional warrants in return. The Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor to purchase common stock shares. Between the warrant and purchase agreements, the Company raised an additional $1.7 million in cash, seeNote 15. Subsequent Events. However, 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 revenue from operations does not significantly increase. If such funding is not available or not available on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company’s current development plan may be curtailed. Furthermore, an alternative source of funding to the sale of additional equity or debt securities is the exercising of outstanding warrants for which there can be no guarantee. No adjustments have been made to the presented condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of this uncertainty.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets related to the business combination, allowance for contractual adjustments and discounts related to service revenues, and the useful lives of fixed assets.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s condensed 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 condensed 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.

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.

Business Combination

On September 18, 2023, the Company, in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement it entered into with Village Oaks and Roby P. Joyce, M.D., dated September 18, 2023, acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Village Oaks in exchange for total consideration of $3,500,000, which consists of: (1) $2.5 million in cash paid at closing and (2)564,972 shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at $1 million. The assets purchased included a clinical pathology laboratory regulated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and accredited by the College of American Pathologists (“CAP”) and certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (“CLIA”). The primary reason for the acquisition is control of the laboratory in which CyPath®Lung is ordered and processed.

The Company recognized goodwill of $1,404,000 arising from the acquisition. The acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has determined the preliminary fair values of the accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses that make up the majority of the net working capital assumed in the acquisition. These values are subject to change, within a year of the acquisition date of September 18, 2023, as the Company performs additional reviews of its assumptions utilized, and any future period adjustments would impact the consolidated statement of operations post-acquisition.

The following table summarizes the purchase price and preliminary purchase price allocations relating to the acquisition:

Goodwill represents the excess fair value after the allocation to the identifiable net assets. The calculated goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The preliminary purchase price allocations relating to the acquisition previously reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed October 14, 2023, reported net working capital of $1,167,000 and goodwill of $1,149,000. The amounts have been updated to reflect the purchase price adjustments to accounts payable and accounts receivable that existed at the time of the acquisition. The Company incurred and expensed approximately $811,000 in acquisition costs.

For prior year comparative purposes, the pro-forma statement of operations as if combined on January 1, 2023, would result in net revenues of $3,631,208, net loss of $(3,765,983) and loss per share of $(0.44) for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

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 $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $131,125 and $27,741 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $119,205 and $21,692 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Loss Per Share

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, and warrants based on the average stock price for each period using the treasury stock method.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, as they would be anti-dilutive:

Revenue Recognition

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.

Patient Service Fee Revenue

Net revenues from patient service fees accounted for greater than 85% of the Company’s consolidated net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and are primarily comprised of a high volume of relatively low-dollar transactions. The laboratory, which provides clinical testing services and other services, satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues primarily upon completion of the testing process (when results are reported) or when services have been rendered. The Company estimates the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to receive from payer customer groups in exchange for providing services using the portfolio approach. These estimates include the impact of contractual allowances (including payer denials) and patient price concessions. The portfolios determined using the portfolio approach consist of the following groups of payer customers: healthcare insurers, government payers (Medicare and Medicaid programs), client payers and self-pay. Contracts do not contain significant financing components based on the typical period of time between performance of services and collection of consideration.

The process for estimating revenues and the ultimate collection of accounts receivable involves significant judgment and estimation. 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. Further adjustments to the allowances, based on actual receipts, may be recorded upon settlement.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2024, or fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

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:

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, and goodwill are summarized as follows as of June 30, 2024:

The Company incurred amortization of intangible assets of$29,167 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $14,538 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company continues to monitor new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and does not believe any accounting pronouncements issued through the date of this Quarterly Report will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures on December 31, 2023. The Company used the five steps to ASC 280 to evaluate what, if any, segment reporting would be beneficial for shareholders. These five steps included: 1) evaluate operating segments for aggregation, 2) perform quantitative threshold tests, 3) evaluate remaining operating segments for aggregation, 4) ensure that 75% of revenue is reported, and 5) consider practical limit. Based on the analysis above against those five steps, management concludes that segment reporting is required for two segment operations: 1) diagnostic R&D and 2) laboratory services.

Segment Information

The Company is organized in two operating segments, Diagnostic Research and Development (“R&D”) and Laboratory Services, whereby its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) assesses the performance of and allocates resources. The CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. Diagnostic R&D includes research and development and clinical development on diagnostic tests. Any revenues assigned to Diagnostic R&D are proceeds received from observational studies. Laboratory services include all the operations from Village Oaks and PPLS in addition to sales and marketing costs of CyPath®Lung from bioAffinity Technologies.

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 lab operations, preclinical studies, compensation, and consulting costs.

The Company incurred research and development expenses of $796,072 and $704,741 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $402,433 and $335,125 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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 United States (“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 (“LTD”) sold by Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, a CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified clinical pathology laboratory and wholly owned subsidiary.

Note 3. ACCOUNTS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES, NET

The following is a summary of accounts receivables and other:

Note 4. PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

Prepaid expenses and other current assets are summarized below:

Note 5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

Property and equipment are summarized below:

Depreciation expense was $79,054 and $41,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $40,243 and $21,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 6. ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accrued expenses are summarized below:

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 37 units as of June 30, 2024. The performance obligation is deemed complete after samples have been collected, processed, analyzed, and results communicated to patients. The unearned revenue balance amounted to $26,135 and $33,058 as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

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 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 loan 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. The operating lease has a remaining lease term of 3.08 years as of June 30, 2024. The Company has finance leases consisting of office and lab equipment with remaining lease terms ranging from approximately 1.75 to 3.50 years as of June 30, 2024, for which the Company has determined that it will use the equipment for a major part of its remaining economic life.

The lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate. Therefore, the Company used a benchmark approach as of September 18, 2023, 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 8.02% to 8.07% for the lease term lengths.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. 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.

The components of lease expense, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, are as follows:

Supplemental balance sheet information relating to leases was as follows as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable lease as of June 30, 2024, are as follows:

Note 12. COMMON STOCK

Common Stock

The Company has authorized a total of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.007 par value per share. On June 4, 2024, the Company received stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 25,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares and on June 5, 2024, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the increase. The Company has issued 11,752,178 shares of Common Stock, of which 265,132 are unvested restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2024, and 9,505,255 shares of Common Stock, of which 110,645 are unvested restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2023.

Note 13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company granted options and restricted stock awards under its 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). Under the 2014 Plan, the Company is authorized to grant options or restricted stock for up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock. On June 6, 2023, the Company received stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares from 1,142,857 to 2,000,000. Options or restricted stock awards may be granted to employees, the Company’s board of directors, and external consultants who provide services to the Company. Options and restricted stock awards granted under the 2014 Plan have vesting schedules with terms of one to three years and become fully exercisable based on specific terms imposed at the date of grant. The 2014 Plan expired according to the respective 10-year term of the 2014 Plan in March 2024. A new 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2024 Plan”) was approved at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 4, 2024.

The Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of restricted stock awards in the following line items in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations:

The following table summarizes stock option activity under the 2014 and 2024 Plan:

As of June 30, 2024, there wasno unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024,208,031 options were exercised at an exercise price of $1.155, of which 143,183 options were from a cashless exercise, and 137,854 options were forfeited due to a cashless exercise.

The following table summarizes restricted stock award activity under the 2014 and 2024 Plan:

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) for 419,756 shares of Common Stock to employees, non-employees, and the board of directors. The shares vest in equal monthly installments over terms of between immediately up to three years, subject to the employees and non-employees providing continuous service through the vesting date. During the three months ended June 30, 2024,6,846 shares vested from RSAs granted prior to January 1, 2024, and 266,774 shares vested from RSAs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Note 14. WARRANTS

The Company’s outstanding Common Stock warrants are equity classified. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had 8,838,717 and 4,649,952 warrants outstanding to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock for each warrant at a weighted average exercise price of $3.53 and expire at various dates through March 2029. During the six months ended June 30, 2024,48 warrants were exercised into an equivalent number of Common Shares as compared to zero warrants being exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

On March 8, 2024, the Company issued to certain investors (i) in a registered direct offering,1,600,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $1.64 (collectively, the “Transaction”), which Transaction constitutes a Dilutive Issuance under the terms of the warrants. In addition, the placement agent was granted warrants to purchase 32,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $1.64.

The following table summarizes the calculated aggregate fair values for the warrant derivative liability using the Black-Scholes method based on the following assumptions for the March 8, 2024 Direct Offering:

Section 3(b) of the Warrant Agreement executed during the IPO in September 2022 provides that in the event of a Dilutive Issuance, the exercise price of the warrants shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the effective price per share of the Dilutive Issuance (the “Base Share Price”), and the number of warrant shares issuable thereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable pursuant to the warrant, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment, provided that the Base Share Price shall not be less than $3.0625 (50% of the public offering price of the Units sold in the Company’s IPO) (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, recapitalizations, and similar transactions).

The effect of the Transaction was such that the exercise price of the warrants was reduced to $3.0625 per share. The new number of warrant shares was calculated by dividing (x) the number of warrant shares underlying the warrant immediately prior to the Transaction multiplied by the exercise price in effect immediately prior to the Transaction, by (y) $3.0625. The calculations was made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share.

As of June 30, 2024, and prior to the Transaction, there were tradeable warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,601,259 shares of Common Stock outstanding and non-tradeable warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,704,506 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Note 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into warrant exercise agreements with three existing accredited investors to exercise certain outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,041,667 of the Company’s shares of Common Stock (the “Existing Warrants”). In consideration for the immediate exercise in full of the Existing Warrants for gross cash proceeds of approximately $1,302,083, the exercising holders received in a private placement new unregistered warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,302,082 shares of Common Stock (equal to 125% of the shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise of the Existing Warrants) with an exercise price of $1.50 per share and are initially exercisable on the date that stockholder approval of the exercise of the New Warrants is obtained and will expire five years from the date of such approval. In connection with the exercise of the Existing Warrants, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of the Existing Warrants from $1.64 to $1.25 per share. The exercise of the Existing Warrants and the issuance of the New Warrants occurred on August 5, 2024.

On August 2, 2024, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchaser, (i) in a registered direct offering,360,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, warrants (the “Private Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price of $1.50 (collectively, the “Offering”). The Company received aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering of approximately $450,000, before deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
