CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We make forward-looking statements under the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”). In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
While we believe we have identified material risks, these risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Form 10-Q may describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and we do not intend to do so.
We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q in the case of forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of the forward-looking statements. In addition, with respect to all of our forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business
Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (“Bluejay” or the “Company”) is a medical diagnostics company developing rapid tests using whole blood on our Symphony technology platform (“Symphony”) to improve patient outcomes in critical care settings. The Company’s Symphony platform is a combination of Bluejay’s intellectual property (“IP”) and exclusively licensed and patented IP that consists of a mobile device and single-use test cartridges that if cleared, authorized, or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), can provide a solution to a significant market need in the United States. Clinical trials indicate the Symphony device produces results in less than 20 minutes for intensive care units and emergency rooms, where rapid and reliable results are required.
Bluejay’s first product, the Symphony IL-6 test, is for the monitoring of disease progression in critical care settings. IL-6 is a clinically established inflammatory biomarker, 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 Symphony IL-6 test has the ability to consistently monitor this critical care biomarker with rapid results.
In the future Bluejay plans to develop additional tests for Symphony including two cardiac biomarkers (hsTNT and NT pro-BNP), as well as other tests using the Symphony platform. The Company does not yet have regulatory clearance for its Symphony products, and its Symphony products will need to receive regulatory authorization from the FDA in order to be marketed as a diagnostic product in the United States.
We were incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 20, 2015. Our headquarters is located in Acton, Massachusetts.
On June 4, 2021, the Company formed Bluejay Spinco, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for purposes of further development of the Company’s ALLEREYE diagnostic test. ALLEREYE is a point-of-care device offering healthcare providers a solution for diagnosing Allergic Conjunctivitis.
FDA Regulatory and Clinical Trial Update
Our current regulatory strategy is designed to support commercialization of Symphony in the United States pending marketing authorization from the FDA. Previously, our regulatory strategy involved clinical studies involving COVID-19 patients. However, we have shifted our focus away from COVID-19 patients due to a significant decline in the number of COVID-19 related hospitalizations. Pursuant to this revised strategy, we are in the process of completing a pilot clinical study (SYMON-1) and plan to begin clinical study (SYMON-2) to validate the results of the pilot study to support an FDA regulatory submission with an initial indication for risk stratification of hospitalized sepsis patients. We submitted a pre-submission application to the FDA presenting the new study design in May 2023 and participated in a pre-submission meeting on August 11, 2023. At the meeting, the FDA provided feedback on the new study design, determined that the submission of a 510(k) is the appropriate premarket submission pathway, and requested that certain data be provided in the 510(k). Based on this feedback, we determined to proceed on this basis, which considers the FDA’s feedback.
In the first quarter of 2024, we initiated multicenter SYmphony IL-6 MONitoring Sepsis (“SYMON”) clinical studies investigating the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients diagnosed with sepsis and septic shock. This prospective study aims to assess the performance of IL-6 upon initial presentation to the intensive care unit (ICU). A preliminary analysis of the SYMON-I pilot clinical study (registered clinical trial number NCT06181604) highlighted that baseline levels of IL-6 are strongly associated with both in-hospital (40 survivors, 7 non-survivors) and 28-day mortality (31 survivors, 7 non-survivors) among sepsis patients. In contrast, baseline Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score which is used to assess organ dysfunction in sepsis patients did not predict in-hospital or 28-day mortality. We believe that the findings underscore the potential importance of IL-6 as a predictor and provide new insights into the potential pathways for improving sepsis outcomes.
5
Following these results, we are planning next steps in our clinical study process, which include a final analysis of the SYMON-I clinical study dataset upon completion of the study. Subject to our ability to remain a going concern, we intend to present the data at a future national scientific meeting and publish in peer-reviewed publications. The final results from the SYMON-I clinical study would inform the SYMON-II validation study, which we would plan to use to support a 510(k) application, which we are targeting for submission in 2025.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other companies in its industry, including rapid technological change, competition from larger biotechnology companies and dependence on key personnel. The Company is also impacted by inflationary pressures and global supply chain disruptions currently impacting many companies.
Our
common stock currently is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We are required to meet specified financial requirements
in order to maintain such listing, including a requirement that the bid price for our common stock remain above $
On
February 28, 2024, we received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
notifying us that the closing bid price for our common stock had been below $
Under
the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we have a period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of
our common stock must be at least $
We
intend to take all reasonable measures available to us to achieve compliance to allow for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise
be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria. If our common stock does not regain compliance with the minimum price requirement
during the applicable compliance period, we may need to effect a reverse stock split, whereby shares of our common stock are consolidated
so that the per-share trading price becomes greater than $
As of the close of business on May 9, 2024, the
market value of our publicly held common stock (which is our only outstanding class of securities) was approximately $
If our common stock is delisted, we may seek to have our common stock quoted on an over-the-counter marketplace, such as on the OTCQX. The OTCQX is not a stock exchange, and if our common stock trades on the OTCQX rather than a securities exchange, there may be significantly less trading volume and analyst coverage of, and significantly less investor interest in, our common stock, which may lead to lower trading prices for our common stock.
Any potential delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market may have materially adverse consequences to our stockholders, including:
| ● | A reduced market price and liquidity with respect to our shares of common stock, which could make our ability to raise new investment capital more difficult; | |
| ● | limited dissemination of the market price of our common stock; | |
| ● | limited news coverage; | |
| ● | limited interest by investors in our common stock; | |
| ● | volatility of the prices of our common stock, due to low trading volume; | |
| ● | our common stock being considered a “penny stock,” which would result in broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock being subject to the regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act; | |
| ● | increased difficulty in selling our common stock in certain states due to “blue sky” restrictions; and | |
| ● | limited ability to issue additional securities or to secure additional financing. |

Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 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.
Our
operations to date have been funded primarily through
the proceeds of (i) our initial public offering (the “IPO”) in November 2021 (the “IPO Date”), (ii) the registered
direct offering of common stock and concurrent private placement of warrants that we completed on August 28, 2023, and (iii) the public
offering of common stock and warrants that we completed on January 2, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company possessed cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) consistent with those applied in, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s audited financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2024, its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, in accordance with US GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements, as allowed by the relevant U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that its disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, or any other interim period within this fiscal year.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no changes to the significant accounting policies as described in the 2023 Audited Financial Statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company believes judgment is involved in accounting for the fair value-based measurement of stock-based compensation, accruals, and warrants. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
7
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees, directors and non-employees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees is determined using the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted. The Company recognizes the compensation cost of stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For stock awards for which vesting is subject to performance-based milestones, the expense is recorded over the implied service period after the point when the achievement of the milestone is probable, or the performance condition has been achieved.
The Company recognizes forfeitures related to employee stock-based payments when they occur. Forfeited options are recorded as a reduction to stock compensation expense.
Research and development expenses
Costs incurred in the research and development of new products are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include, but are not limited to, salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, laboratory supplies, fees for professional service providers and costs associated with product development efforts, including preclinical studies and clinical trials.
The Company estimates preclinical study and clinical trial expenses based on the services performed, pursuant to contracts with research institutions and clinical research organizations that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on its behalf.
Segment Reporting
Management
has determined that the Company has
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock and if-converted methods. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, options outstanding under the Company’s stock option plan and warrants. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This amends the ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity to simplify the guidance on (1) accounting for convertible instruments, and (2) the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance on earnings per share (“EPS”) has also been amended to simplify the calculations and make them more internally consistent. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2024. The new standard had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. LICENSE AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT WITH TORAY INDUSTRIES
On
October 23, 2023, the Company and Toray entered into an Amended and Restated License Agreement (the “New Toray License Agreement”)
and a Master Supply Agreement (the “New Toray Supply Agreement”). Under the New Toray License Agreement, the Company continues
to license from Toray intellectual property rights needed to manufacture single-use test cartridges, and the Company has received the
right to sublicense certain Toray intellectual property to Sanyoseiko in connection with Sanyoseiko’s ongoing agreement with the
Company to manufacture its Symphony device and cartridges (including in connection with the Company’s clinical trials). In addition,
the New Toray License Agreement provides for the transfer of certain technology related to the cartridges to Sanyoseiko. The royalty
payments payable by the Company to Toray have been reduced under the New Toray License Agreement from
Under the New Toray Supply Agreement, Toray is manufacturing (through its wholly owned subsidiary Kamakura Techno- Science, Inc.) certain product intermediate components for use in cartridges being manufactured for the Company by Sanyoseiko. These cartridges made using Toray intermediates are for the purpose of obtaining FDA approval and not for commercial sale. The New Toray Supply Agreement has a term ending on the earlier of October 23, 2025 or the date that the Company obtains FDA approval for its product, and may be extended for up to six months by mutual agreements of the parties. If FDA approval is obtained, Sanyoseiko will be required to manufacture the intermediates and cartridges under a separate supply agreement between the Company and Sanyoseiko.
At March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no amounts accrued related to the New Toray License Agreement.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment
when events, expectations, or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. As a result
of this review in 2023, the Company revised the useful life of certain lab equipment in the first quarter of 2023 due to a change in
expectations of the time the equipment will be used which resulted in approximately $

Indemnification
The Company has certain agreements with service providers with which it does business that contain indemnification provisions pursuant to which the Company typically agrees to indemnify the party against certain types of third-party claims. The Company accrues for known indemnification issues when a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company would also accrue for estimated incurred but unidentified indemnification issues based on historical activity. As the Company has not incurred any indemnification losses to date, there were no accruals for or expenses related to indemnification issues for any period presented.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are a clinical-stage medical diagnostics company developing rapid tests using whole blood on our Symphony platform (“Symphony”) to improve patient outcomes in critical care settings. Our Symphony technology platform is an exclusively licensed, patented system that consists of a mobile device and single-use test cartridges that if cleared, authorized, or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), can provide a solution to a significant market need in the United States. Clinical trials indicate Symphony produces results in less than 20 minutes for intensive care units and emergency rooms, where rapid and reliable results are required.
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 $2.3 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We had negative cash flow from operating activities of approximately $2.3 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $29.2 million as of March 31, 2024.
As further described below under “Liquidity and Going Concern Uncertainty” as of March 31, 2024, the Company possessed cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.7 million, while having current liabilities of approximately $1.5 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s net cash used in operating activities approximately $2.3 million. The Company will need to raise a material amount of additional capital in the imminent near-term to continue as a going concern, and that absent such near-term funding, it will likely run out of available cash resources in the near-term. If we are unable to obtain financing in the near-term, or otherwise consummate strategic alternatives, we could determine to undertake a process of liquidation under U.S. bankruptcy laws.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
The following table sets forth our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||||
| Operating expenses: | ||||||||
| Research and development | 1,334,796 | 1,354,549 | ||||||

| Total other income | 99,640 | 139,729 | ||||||
| Net loss | $ | (2,328,465 | ) | $ | (2,539,843 | ) | ||
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were approximately $1.3 million as compared to approximately $1.4 million for the same period in 2023. The slight 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.
14
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were approximately $1.1 million as compared to approximately $1.2 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.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were approximately $6,500 as compared to approximately $148,000 for the comparable period in 2023. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was due to a reduction in spending in all sales and marketing efforts.
Other Income, net
Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $100,000 as compared to $140,000 for the same periods in 2023. The decrease in net other income 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 $22,000 in related party income from NanoHybrids.
Liquidity and Going Concern Uncertainty
Our operations to date have been funded primarily through the proceeds of (i) our initial public offering (the “IPO”) in November 2021 (the “IPO Date”), (ii) the registered direct offering of common stock and concurrent private placement of warrants that we completed on August 28, 2023, and (iii) the public offering of common stock and warrants that we completed on January 2, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company possessed cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.7 million, while having current liabilities of approximately $1.5 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.3 million. The Company expects that it will need to raise a material amount of additional capital in the imminent near-term to continue as a going concern, and that absent such near-term funding, it will likely run out of available cash resources in the near-term
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 (both over the next 12 months and in the near-term) is dependent on the Company obtaining additional capital in the near-term. As a result of our lack of cash, we have slowed the timeline of our clinical trial work to preserve cash resources in the near-term, and we expect that this will delay our Symphony platform regulatory submission timeline until 2025. If we fail to obtain additional financing in the near-term, this timeline could be delayed further, and we could be forced to abandon such activities entirely and cease operations, with the possible loss of such properties or assets.
As a result of the foregoing, we are actively exploring potential opportunities to raise additional capital in the near-term to fund our operations. To date, our board of directors has not been able to identify alternatives that it believes to be viable. 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. If we are unable to obtain financing in the near-term, our board of directors could determine to cause the Company to undertake a process of liquidation under Chapter 7 of applicable U.S. bankruptcy laws. In such event, we do not currently expect that holders of shares of our common stock would recoup any material value in such process.

Summary Statement of Cash Flows
The following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash and cash equivalents for each of the periods presented.

Net cash used in operating activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we used approximately $2.3 million in cash for operating activities, a decrease of approximately $0.6 million as compared to approximately $2.9 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs and product development costs.
Net cash used in investing activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we used approximately $35,000 in cash for investing activities, a decrease of approximately $306,000 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.
Net cash used in financing activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we raised approximately $2.8 million in cash through financing activities, an increase of approximately $2.8 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements (under the caption “Recently Adopted Accounting Standards”).
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. We are using the extended transition period for any other new or revised accounting standards during the period in which we remain an emerging growth company.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of our first fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of IPO (November 2021), (b) in which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.
16
We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
The JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.
We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and may impact our financial statements and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as Amended (the “Exchange Act”) and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024. We continue to review our disclosure controls and procedures and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our Company’s business. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
17
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we may be involved in legal proceedings, the outcomes of which may not be determinable. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. We are not able to estimate an aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses for those legal matters for which losses are not probable and estimable. We have insurance policies covering potential losses where such coverage is cost effective.
We are not at this time involved in any legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
For a discussion of potential risks or uncertainties, see “Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2023 annual report on Form 10-K on file with the SEC. The following disclosures supplement such Risk Factors, and should be read in conjunction therewith:
Additional Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements
To remain a going concern, we are in need of imminent material additional capital and absent our ability to raise such material capital in the imminent near-term, we may be required to undertake a process of liquidation under U.S. bankruptcy laws, which we expect would holders of our common stock not recouping any material value for their shares.
As of March 31, 2024, we possessed cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.7 million, while having current liabilities of approximately $1.5 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, our net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.3 million, and we will need to raise a material amount of additional capital in the imminent near-term to continue as a going concern, and that absent such near-term funding, we will likely run out of available cash resources in the near-term. Our board of directors has been exploring potential pathways for material financing, or other strategic alternatives, and to date, the board of directors has not been able to identify alternatives that it believes to be viable. If we are unable to obtain financing in the imminent future, our board of directors could determine to cause the Company to undertake a process of liquidation under Chapter 7 of applicable U.S. bankruptcy laws. In such event, we do not currently expect that holders of shares of our common stock would recoup any material value in such process.
In addition to our current non-compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, a further decline in the price of our common stock could cause us to be delisted by Nasdaq on that basis.
In addition to Nasdaq’s $1.00 per share bid price requirement, we are also required under Nasdaq rules to maintain a market value of our publicly held securities of at least $1 million. As of the close of business on May 9, 2024, the market value of our publicly held common stock (which is our only outstanding class of securities) was approximately $1.25 million. If the value of our publicly held common stock declines below $1 million, we would also be subject to Nasdaq delisting proceedings on that basis.
