Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 –Overview and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Co-Diagnostics, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company” or “CODX”), is a molecular diagnostics company that develops, manufactures and markets state-of-the-art diagnostics technologies. The Company’s technologies are utilized for tests that are designed using the detection and/or analysis of nucleic acid molecules (DNA or RNA). The Company also uses its proprietary technology to design specific tests for its Co-Dx™ PCR platform and to locate genetic markers for use in applications other than infectious disease. In connection with the sale of our tests we may sell diagnostic equipment from other manufacturers as self-contained lab systems.
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information as they are prescribed for smaller reporting companies. As permitted under those rules and regulations, certain notes or other financial information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates include receivables and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, income taxes, share based arrangements, and others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates.
Liquidity and Going Concern
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern, (“ASC 205-40”) the Company evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date on which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed. Based on the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s current and forecasted level of operations, and its forecasted cash flows, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to provide for the Company’s capital requirements through equity financing, including through selling shares under the Company’s ATM Agreement, seeking additional grant funding, and through operational efficiencies. Our ability to obtain additional financing in equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our performance and investor sentiment with respect to us and our industry. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise a sufficient amount of additional capital to fund operations with terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Because certain elements of management’s plans to mitigate the conditions that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern are outside of the Company’s control, including the ability to raise capital through equity or other financings, those elements cannot be considered probable according to ASC 205-40, and therefore cannot be considered in the evaluation of mitigating factors. As a result, management has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern for the next 12 months after these financial statements are issued, and that contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its uncertain ability to obtain additional capital, reduce expenditures, and execute on its business plans. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported results.
Operating Segments
The Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM evaluates financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. There is no expense or asset information that is supplemental to information disclosed within the condensed consolidated financial statements, that is regularly provided to the CODM. The allocation of resources and assessment of performance of the operating segment is based on consolidated net loss and functional expenses as reported on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Because the Company operates as one operating segment, financial segment information, including expense and asset information, can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All material long-lived assets are based in the United States.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount (net of allowance) and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for amounts the Company does not expect to collect. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses, current market condition, customers’ financial condition, the age of receivables, and current payment patterns. Account balances are written off against the allowance once the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when collected. At March 31, 2025 total accounts receivable was $240,805 with an allowance for uncollectable accounts of $104,414 resulting in a net amount of $136,391. At December 31, 2024 total accounts receivable was $242,625 with an allowance for uncollectable accounts of $110,055 resulting in a net amount of $132,570. At December 31, 2023 total accounts receivable was $504,264 with an allowance for uncollectable accounts of $200,338 resulting in a net amount of $303,926.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net-realizable value. Inventory cost is determined on a first-in first-out basis that approximates average cost in accordance with ASC 330-10-30-12. At March 31, 2025, the Company had $1,083,309 in inventory, of which $588,494 was finished goods and $494,815 was raw materials. At December 31, 2024, the Company had $1,072,724 in inventory, of which $567,281 was finished goods and $505,443 was raw materials. The Company establishes reserves to reduce low-moving, obsolete, or unusable inventories to their estimated useful or scrap values. The Company recognized $41,474 and $311,339 related to the change in inventory reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from customers from product and license sales. The Company recognizes revenue from customers when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company constrains revenue by giving consideration to factors that could otherwise lead to a probable reversal of revenue. The Company records any payments received from customers prior to the Company fulfilling its performance obligation(s) as deferred revenue.
Grant Revenue
The Company may submit applications to receive grant funding from governmental and non-governmental entities. The Company accounts for grants by analogizing to the contribution accounting model under ASC 958-605, Not-for-Profit Entities (“ASC 958”). Revenues from grants, contracts, and awards provided by governmental and non-governmental agencies are recorded based upon the terms of the specific agreements. The Company recognizes grant funding without conditions or continuing performance obligations as revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company recognizes grant funding with conditions or continuing performance obligations as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets if the conditions or performance obligations have not yet been met. The Company recognized grant funding revenue of $0 and $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company has also recorded $0.1 million of deferred revenue related to grant funding for which the cash was received, but the underlying conditions or performance obligations have not yet been met. Cash received from federal grants, contracts, and awards can be subject to audit by the grantor and, if the examination results in a disallowance of any expenditure, repayment could be required.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities represent the tax effect of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax reporting measured at enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes only the impact of tax positions that, based on their technical merits, are more likely than not to be sustained upon an audit by the taxing authority.
Valuation allowances are provided when it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets may not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company has considered its historical levels of income, expectations of future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies.
Developing the provision for income taxes, including the effective tax rate and analysis of potential tax exposure items, if any, requires significant judgment and expertise in federal and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred income tax assets and liabilities and any estimated valuation allowances deemed necessary to value deferred income tax assets. Judgments and tax strategies are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. The Company has uncertain income tax positions in the condensed consolidated financial statements, and adverse determinations by these taxing authorities could have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial positions, result of operations, or cash flows.
Concentrations Risk and Significant Customers
The Company had certain customers which were each responsible for generating 10% or more of the total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Three customers accounted for approximately 59% of product revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Three customers accounted for approximately 69% of product revenue, and one granting agency accounted for 100% of grant revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Two customers individually accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2025 and two customers individually accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2024. These customers together accounted for approximately 89% and 94% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for full year 2024 reporting, and for interim reporting beginning in 2025. The adoption of this ASU did not change the way the Company evaluates its reportable segments and, as a result, did not have a material impact on the Company’s segment-related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires an entity to disclose annually additional information related to the company’s income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid during the period. The guidance should be applied prospectively with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The standard becomes effective for the Company for full year 2025 reporting. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires an entity to disclose on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about specific income statement expense categories. The guidance should be applied prospectively with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The standard becomes effective for the Company for full year 2027 reporting. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 –Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures and records certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is based on the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The following three levels of inputs are used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, by level within the fair value hierarchy:
| (Level 1) · (Level 2) · (Level 3) · Total | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets: | |||||||
| Cash equivalents | $225,132 | $ | - | $ | - | $225,132 | |
| Marketable securities (U.S. treasury bills and notes) | - | 19,575,902 | - | 19,575,902 | |||
| Total assets measured at fair value | $225,132 | $19,575,902 | $ | - | $19,801,034 | ||

| Cash equivalents | $441,000 | $ | - | $ | - | $441,000 | |
| Marketable securities (U.S. treasury bills and notes) | - | 26,811,098 | - | 26,811,098 | |||
| Total assets measured at fair value | $441,000 | $26,811,098 | $ | - | $27,252,098 | ||
| Liabilities: | |||||||
| Contingent consideration - common stock | $ | - | $ | - | $743,794 | $743,794 | |
| Contingent consideration - warrants | - | - | 181,105 | 181,105 | |||
| Total liabilities measured at fair value | $ | - | $ | - | $924,899 | $924,899 | |
The Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of U.S. treasury bills and notes as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The fair value of contingent consideration is calculated using a discounted probability weighted valuation model. Discount rates used in such calculations are a significant assumption that are not observed in the market, and therefore, the resulting fair value represents a Level 3 measurement.
The changes for Level 3 items measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:
| Fair value as of December 31, 2024 | $924,899 |
|---|---|
| Change in fair value of contingent consideration issued for business acquisitions | (717,067) |
| Fair value as of March 31, 2025 | $207,832 |
The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on the fair value of the contingent consideration-common stock and contingent consideration-warrants. The fair value of the contingent consideration-common stock is equal to the probability-adjusted value of the Company’s common stock as of the valuation date. The fair value of the contingent consideration-warrants is equal to the probability adjusted value of a call option with terms consistent with the terms of the warrants as of the valuation date. Prior to the probability adjustments, the warrants were valued based on the following inputs:
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Stock price | $0.31 | $0.75 |
| Strike price | $9.13 | $9.13 |
| Volatility | 419.1% | 246.4% |
| Risk-free rate | 4.0% | 4.3% |
| Expected term (years) | 1.8 | 2.0 |
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash held in banks, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities and are excluded from the fair value tables above.

Note 6 –Revenue
The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| United States | ||
| Product revenue | $40,177 | $86,295 |
| Grant revenue | - | 215,109 |

| Percentage of revenue by area: | ||
| United States | 80% | 64% |
| Rest of World | 20% | 36% |
Changes in the Company’s deferred revenue balance for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were as follows:
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $40,857 |
|---|---|
| Revenue recognized included in deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period | - |
| Increase due to prepayments from customers | - |
| Balance as of March 31, 2025 | $40,857 |
Note 7 –Loss Per Share
The following table reconciles the numerator and the denominator used to calculate basic and diluted loss per share for three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Numerator | ||
| Net loss, as reported | $(7,533,271) | $(9,312,043) |
| Denominator | ||
| Weighted average shares, basic | 32,048,953 | 29,842,874 |
| Dilutive effect of stock options, warrants and RSUs | - | - |
| Shares used to compute diluted loss per share | 32,048,953 | 29,842,874 |
| Basic loss per share | $(0.24) | $(0.31) |
| Diluted loss per share | $(0.24) | $(0.31) |
The computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, also excludes approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock and approximately 465,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock that are contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones.
As a result of incurring a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, no potentially dilutive securities are included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because such effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company had potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2025, consisting of: (i)2,702,413 restricted stock units and (ii)938,446 options and warrants. The Company had potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2024, consisting of: (i)2,564,310 restricted stock units and (ii)532,112 options and warrants.
Note 8 –Stock-Based Compensation
Stock Incentive Plans
The Company’s board of directors adopted, and shareholders approved, the Co-Diagnostics, Inc. Amended and Restated 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) providing for the issuance of stock-based incentive awards to employees, officers, consultants, directors and independent contractors. On August 31, 2022, the shareholders approved an increase in the number of awards available for issuance under the Incentive Plan to an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of common stock. The number of awards available for issuance under the Incentive Plan was 3,182,340 at March 31, 2025.
Stock Options
The following table summarizes option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025:
| Number of Options | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Weighted Average Fair Value | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 1,040,572 | $2.19 | $1.37 | 3.88 |
| Granted | - | - | - | |
| Expired | (70,002) | $1.29 | $0.76 | |
| Forfeited/Cancelled | - | - | - | |
| Exercised | - | - | - | |
| Outstanding at March 31, 2025 | 970,570 | $2.26 | $1.41 | 3.82 |
| Exercisable at March 31, 2025 | 970,570 | $2.26 | $1.41 | 3.82 |
The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options at March 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $0 and $0.1 million, respectively.
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award granted and recognized as expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value options granted. As of March 31, 2025, there were no unvested options and no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to options.
Restricted Stock Units
The grant date fair value of RSUs granted is determined using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date with the associated compensation expense amortized over the vesting period of the awards. The following table sets forth the outstanding RSUs and related activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025:
| Number of RSUs | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested at December 31, 2024 | 2,742,316 | $2.50 |
| Granted | - | - |
| Vested | - | - |
| Forfeited/Cancelled | (50,389) | 4.51 |
| Unvested at March 31, 2025 | 2,691,927 | $2.46 |
As of March 31, 2025, there was approximately $3.8 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.
Warrants
The Company has issued warrants related to financings, acquisitions and as compensation to third parties for services provided. The Company estimates the fair value of issued warrants on the date of issuance as determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company amortizes the fair value of issued warrants using a vesting schedule based on the terms and conditions of each warrant if granted for services.
The following table summarizes warrant activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025:
| Number of Warrants | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Weighted Average Fair Value | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 485,000 | $8.81 | $1.00 | 2.0 |
| Granted | - | - | - | |
| Expired | - | - | - | |
| Forfeited/Cancelled | - | - | - | |
| Exercised | - | - | - | |
| Outstanding at March 31, 2025 | 485,000 | $8.81 | $0.63 | 1.7 |
The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding warrants at March 31, 2025 was $0.
The total number of warrants exercisable at March 31, 2025 is 20,000. The ability to exercise the remaining 465,000 warrants issued in connection with acquisitions in prior years is contingent upon the achievement of certain development and revenue milestones on or before January 1, 2027. There wasno unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to warrants.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 · 2024 | |||
| Cost of revenue | $ | - | $8,141 |
| Sales and marketing | 136,197 | 370,381 | |
| General and administrative | 735,915 | 1,086,495 | |
| Research and development | 3,116 | 106,217 | |
| Total stock-based compensation expense | $875,228 | $1,571,234 | |
Note 9 –Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized expense from income taxes of $12,004, representing an effective tax rate of (0.2%).
