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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, we generated revenue of approximately $4.6 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 of new diagnostic and therapeutic products; |
| ● | Expand commercialization of CyPath® Lung as an LDT under the CAP/CLIA guidelines and regulations administered by CMS and CAP and/or, if and when we obtain clearance from FDA for our CyPath® Lung test, to expand sales in accordance with FDA rules and regulations. |
| ● | Develop and commercialize CyPath® Lung as a CE-marked test in accordance with the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (“IVDR”) of the European Union (“EU”); |
| ● | Conduct research studies resulting in scientific results required to successfully develop therapeutic products based on our discoveries that the knockdown of certain cell receptors results in cancer death without harm to healthy tissue; |
| ● | 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 operations. A decline in our value could also cause you to lose all or part of your investment.
As of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $65.4 million and $7.7 million cash on hand. As of October 29, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents were $8.4 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 May 2026. Based on our current expected level of operating expenditures, current expected levels of revenue, and the cash and cash equivalents on hand at September 30, 2025, of $7.7 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.
Since its acquisition in September 2023, we have generated $16.4 million in revenue from PPLS. Once we begin to generate profit from revenue, 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.
Our failure to maintain compliance with 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 currently listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BIAF” and our tradeable warrants are listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BIAFW.” We must satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million and a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share or risk delisting, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities.
We have in the past, and may in the future, be unable to comply with certain of the listing standards that we are required to meet to maintain the listing of our securities on The Nasdaq Capital market. For example, 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). Therefore, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were provided 180 calendar days, or util August 6, 2025, to regain compliance with the rule.
In addition, on May 27, 2025 we received written notice from the Staff stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Continued Listing Equity Requirement”) because our stockholders’ equity of $1,439,404 as of March 31, 2025, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance (a “Compliance Plan”) with the Continued Listing Equity Requirement. On July 14, 2025, the Company submitted its plan to regain compliance with the Continued Listing Equity Requirement.
On August 7, 2025, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq that we had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by August 6, 2025 and were not eligible for a second 180-day compliance period as we did not comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result, unless we requested an appeal to a hearings panel (the “Panel”) by August 14, 2025, our securities would be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and would be suspended at the opening of business on August 18, 2025.
We submitted an appeal to Nasdaq on August 14, 2025, which stayed the delisting and suspension of the Company’s securities pending the decision of the Panel. On August 14, 2025, we received written notice from Nasdaq that our hearing has been scheduled for September 11, 2025. At the hearing, the Company presented its views and its plans to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the Continued Listing Equity Requirement to the Panel. On September 18, 2025, Nasdaq granted us an extension until October 2, 2025 to demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and Continued Listing Equity Requirement. On October 14, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that the Panel had found the Company to be in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) and 5550(b)(1) (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule”). The letter also indicated that the Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Company fails to comply with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule, the Company will not be permitted additional time to regain compliance. However, the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel prior to the Company’s securities being delisted from Nasdaq.
There is no assurance that we will maintain compliance with the minimum listing requirements with all applicable requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. If our securities were delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our securities would most likely take place on an over-the-counter market established for unlisted securities, such as the OTCQB or the Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. An investor would likely find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our securities on an over-the-counter market, and many investors would likely not buy or sell our securities due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. In addition, as a delisted security, our securities would be subject to SEC rules as a “penny stock,” which impose additional disclosure requirements on broker-dealers. The regulations relating to penny stocks, coupled with the typically higher cost per trade to the investor of penny stocks due to factors such as broker commissions generally representing a higher percentage of the price of a penny stock than of a higher-priced stock, would further limit the ability of investors to trade in our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities.
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.
For these reasons and others, delisting would adversely affect the liquidity, trading volume and price of our securities, causing the value of an investment in us to decrease and having an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and to raise capital.
