TABLE OF CONTENTS
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.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
In this Form 10-Q, and
unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to
Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Bluejay SpinCo, LLC, taken as a whole.

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 laboratory-quality
results in less than 20 minutes in 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.
Bluejay’s operations to date have been
funded primarily through the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) in November 2021 (the “IPO
Date”).
On June 4, 2021, the Company formed Bluejay Spinco,
LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for potential 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 Strategy
The Company’s
current regulatory strategy is designed to support commercialization of Symphony in the United States pending marketing authorization
from the FDA. The Company has shifted its focus away from COVID-19 patients due to a significant decline in the number of COVID-19 related
hospitalizations. Based on this revised strategy, the Company plans to conduct a clinical study to support an FDA regulatory submission
with an initial indication for risk stratification of hospitalized sepsis patients. The Company 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, the Company intends to proceed as planned
while taking into account the FDA’s feedback. The Company believes that it will maintain the previously disclosed Symphony IL-6
regulatory submission timeline of the first half of 2024.
The Company
has targeted large, well-known medical and academic institutions for its study, which the Company believes will help support initial commercialization
and market penetration. The Company believes that this clinical trial expansion could also support additional indications, but that any
such expansion also could delay obtaining marketing authorization for the product. Based on the pre-submission meeting with the FDA, the
focus of the clinical trial will be the risk stratification of hospitalized sepsis patients.
The Company
maintains contracts with Toray Industries, Inc (“Toray”) to manufacture our cartridges and Sanyoseiko Co. Ltd (“Sanyoseiko”)
to manufacture both our device and cartridges.
Risks and Uncertainties
As noted above, Bluejay
is reliant upon Toray and Sanyoseiko to provide cartridges in sufficient quantity and quality to complete our clinical trials, and our
clinical trials could be delayed if the Company encountered any material supply interruptions while the clinical trials are being conducted.
In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary regulatory authorization for the manufacturing
or marketing of the Symphony in the United States or elsewhere. There also can be no assurance
that we will successfully complete any clinical evaluations necessary to receive regulatory approvals, or that the clinical trial will
demonstrate sufficient safety and efficacy of the Symphony. The failure to adequately demonstrate the clinical performance of the Symphony
device could delay or prevent regulatory approval of the device, which could prevent or result in delays to market launch and could materially
harm our business.
In addition to the FDA regulatory strategy 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.
On October 25, 2022, the
Company received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
notifying the Company that the closing bid price for its common stock had been below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days
and that the Company therefore is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital
Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). On April 25, 2023, at the Company’s request, Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications
Staff notified the Company that it has extended the time for the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement until October
23, 2023. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 or higher for a minimum
of ten consecutive business days.
On July 24, 2023, the Company
executed a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), with a corresponding
reduction in the number of authorized outstanding number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 7,500,000. The Reverse Stock Split
became effective on July 24, 2023, when the Company’s common stock opened for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split
basis under the Company’s existing trading symbol, “BJDX.” At such time, the Company’s common stock also commenced
trading with a new CUSIP number, 095633301.
On August 8, 2023, the
Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, based on the closing bid price
of the Company’s common stock having been at least $1.00 per share for the required period, the Company has regained compliance
with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and the minimum bid price deficiency matter previously disclosed by the Company on October 25, 2022
is now closed.
All of the Company’s
historical share and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock and outstanding options and warrants exercisable
for common stock in these financial statements have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-20 reverse stock split.
Going Concern
The Consolidated Financial Statements for the
interim periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 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. However, the
Company has incurred net losses since its inception, and has negative cash flows from operations and will need additional funding to
complete planned development efforts. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$5.1 million as of June 30, 2023. It continues to develop the Symphony device and its first test for the measurement of IL-6. It remains
committed to obtaining FDA clearance and will conduct clinical trials to obtain sufficient data to support its FDA submission, while
also continuing to build its manufacturing operations with its contract manufacturing organizations. Current cash resources and expected
operating expenses are considered in determining its liquidity requirement; as well as $1.8 million of current liabilities on its balance
sheet as of June 30, 2023 and commitments of approximately $1.9 million as of June 30, 2023 (see Notes 8 and 9). The Company estimates
cash resources will be sufficient to fund its operations into the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company will need additional capital to
fund its planned operations for the next 12 months.
The Company expects that it will seek to raise
such additional capital through public or private equity offerings, grant financing and support from governmental agencies, convertible
debt, collaborations, strategic alliances and distribution arrangements. Additional funds may not be available when it needs them on
terms that are acceptable to them, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, it may be required to delay its FDA regulatory strategy,
and to delay or reduce the scope of its research or development programs, its commercialization efforts or its manufacturing commitments
and capacity. In addition, if it raises additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or distribution arrangements with
third parties, it may have to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies or future revenue streams.
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, 2022 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, its results
of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 and six
months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2023, or any other interim period within this fiscal year.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there
were no changes to the significant accounting policies as described in the 2022 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.
Stock-based compensation
Share-based compensation expense for all share-based
payment awards made to employees, directors and non-employees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Share-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 share-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 share-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
one operating segment, which is consistent with the Company structure and how it manages the business.
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.
Potentially dilutive securities not
included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, because to do so would be anti-dilutive, are as follows (in common stock equivalent
shares):

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08,
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU
805”), an amendment of the ASC. The amendments to ASU 805 address diversity and inconsistency related to the recognition and
measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination and require that an acquirer recognize and
measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in accordance with ASC 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606) (“ASC 606”). Under GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination,
including contract assets and liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU No.
2021-08 will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded
by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC 606. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2023. The new standard had
no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.
3. LICENSE AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT WITH TORAY
INDUSTRIES
On October 6, 2020, the Company entered
into a License and Supply Agreement (“License Agreement”) with Toray Industries, Inc. (“Toray”). Under the License
Agreement, the Company received the exclusive license (outside of Japan) to make and distribute protein detection cartridges that have
a function of automatic stepwise feeding of reagent (the “Cartridges”). In addition, following the first sale of the Cartridges
after regulatory approval, the Company will make royalty payments to Toray equal to 15% of the net sales of the Cartridges for the period
that any underlying patents exist or five years after the first sale. Following the first sale after obtaining regulatory approval, the
Company will make minimum annual royalty payments of $60,000 for the first year and $100,000 for each year thereafter, which shall be
creditable against any royalties owed to Toray in such calendar year. There were no sales of or revenues from the Cartridges during the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31,
2022, there were no amounts accrued related to the License Agreement.

Class A Warrants and Class B
Warrants
In conjunction with the Company’s
IPO in November 2021 the Company issued 108,000 Class A Warrants and 108,000 Class B Warrants. Additionally, the underwriter of the IPO
exercised their overallotment option, solely with respect to the Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants, shortly after the IPO Date resulting
in an additional issuance of 16,200 Class A Warrants and 16,200 Class B Warrants. From the net IPO proceeds, $5,164,751 and $7,323,161,
respectively, were apportioned to the Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants.
Class A Warrants entitle the holder
to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $140.00 per share. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022 all Class A Warrants were
outstanding.
Class B Warrants entitle the holder
to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $200.00 per share. Holders of Class B Warrants may also exercise such warrants
on a “cashless” basis after the earlier of (i) 10 trading days from closing date of the offering or (ii) the time when $10.0
million of volume is traded in the Company’s common stock, if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock
on any trading day on or after the closing date of the offering fails to exceed the exercise price of the Class B Warrant (subject to
adjustment as described in the warrant agreement). During the six months ended June 30, 2023, no Class B Warrants were exercised, while
during the six months ended June 30, 2022, 2,005 Class B Warrants were exercised, all on a cashless basis. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022,
there were 3,770 Class B Warrants outstanding.
5. STOCK COMPENSATION
Stock Incentive Plans
In 2018, the Company adopted the 2018
Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) for employees, consultants, and directors. The 2018 Plan, administered by the Board
of Directors, permits the Company to grant incentive and nonqualified stock options for the purchase of common stock and restricted stock
awards. The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan is 31,472. As of June 30, 2023, there were 13,113
shares available for grant under the 2018 Plan.
On July 6, 2021, the Company’s board of
directors and stockholders approved and adopted the Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. 2021 Stock Plan (the “2021 Plan”). A total
of 98,000 shares of common stock were approved to be initially reserved for issuance under the 2021 Stock Plan. As of June 30, 2023,

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 $247,000 of additional depreciation recorded in the
six months ended June 30, 2023.

open, non-cancelable purchase commitments with its primary contract manufacturing organization (CMO) of $383,000 for manufacturing line
development and $580,000 for initial production units. The Company also had $416,000 of other non-cancelable purchase commitments for
research and development supplies and key advisory services.
Minimum Royalties
As required under the License Agreement
(see Note 3), following the first sale of Cartridges, the Company will also make royalty payments to Toray equal to 15% of the net sales
of the Cartridges for the period that any underlying patents exist or for 5 years after the first sale. Following the first sale, the
Company will pay a one-time minimum royalty of $60,000, which shall be creditable against any royalties owed to Toray in such calendar
year. The Company will pay a minimum royalty of $100,000 in each year thereafter, which are creditable against any royalties owed to

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.

On July 24, 2023, the
Company executed a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20, with a corresponding reduction in the number
of authorized outstanding number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 7,500,000. All of the Company’s historical share
and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock and outstanding options and warrants exercisable for common
stock in these financial statements have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-20 reverse stock split.
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 laboratory-quality results in
less than 20 minutes in 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 $5.3 million
and $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We had negative cash flow from operating activities of
approximately $4.4 million and $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit
of approximately $22.4 million as of June 30, 2023.

Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenue and gross profit decreased approximately
$249,000 and $49,000 respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same periods in 2022.
The decrease was due to a minor sale of five Symphony analyzers to our business partner, Toray during 2022. Future sales to Toray after
2022 were not anticipated.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2023 were approximately $1.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $756,000
and $1.5 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2022. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due
to an increase in personnel costs and product development expenses. We expect future research and development expenses to be focused
on our clinical trial program and any necessary manufacturing improvements.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2023 were approximately $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $1.2
million and $2.5 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2022. The minor decrease in general and administrative expenses
is due to continued efforts to preserve capital by limiting our investment in infrastructure 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 and
six months ended June 30, 2023 were approximately $154,000 and $302,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $81,000 and $135,000,
respectively, for the comparable periods in 2022. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to increased personnel
costs.
Other Income, net
Other income, net for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $90,000 and $230,000 as compared to approximately $48,000 and $103,000 for the same periods in
2022. The increase in net other income was primarily due to higher interest rates and an increase in related party income from NanoHybrids,
as compared to the comparative three- and six-month periods.
Liquidity and Going Concern
We have funded our operations primarily through
the net proceeds from our IPO on November 10, 2021. We had cash and cash equivalents of $5.1 million as of June 30, 2023. We continue
to develop the Symphony device and its first cartridge for the measurement of IL-6. We remain committed to obtaining FDA clearance and
will conduct clinical trials to obtain sufficient data to support our FDA submission, while also continuing to build our manufacturing
operations with our contract manufacturing organizations. Current cash resources and expected operating expenses are considered in determining
our liquidity requirement; as well as $1.8 million of current liabilities on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and commitments of
approximately $1.9 million as of June 30, 2023 (see Notes 8 and 9). As of the filing of this report, we expect to need additional capital
to fund our planned operations for the next twelve months.
We expect that we will seek to raise such additional
capital through public or private equity offerings, grant financing and support from governmental agencies, convertible debt, collaborations,
strategic alliances and distribution arrangements. Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable
to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay our FDA regulatory strategy, and to delay or reduce
the scope of our research or development programs, our commercialization efforts or our manufacturing commitments and capacity. In addition,
if we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or distribution arrangements with third parties, we may have
to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies or future revenue streams.
If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to raise
additional capital, based on our current and expected levels of operating expenses, our current capital will not be sufficient to fund
our operations for the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Net cash used in operating activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we
used approximately $4.4 million in cash for operating activities, an increase of approximately $875,000 million as compared to approximately
$3.5 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to increases in personnel
and product development costs.
Net cash used in investing activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we
used approximately $542,000 in cash for investing activities, an increase of approximately $372,000 as compared to the same period in
2022. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to capital purchases of manufacturing equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we
used approximately $61,000 in cash for financing activities, an increase of approximately $61,000 as compared to the same period in 2022.
The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to shares withheld to cover tax withholdings on restricted stock
units vested during the period.
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 this offering,
(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.
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 the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, respectively), 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as
of June 30, 2023. We continue to review our disclosure controls and procedures and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing
their effectiveness and ensuring 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 June
30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
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 2022 annual report on Form 10-K on file with the SEC. Except as set forth below,
there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in such registration statement.
We recently determined to adapt our clinical
trial design to obtain more patient data to reflect recent FDA feedback, and our regulatory pathway remains subject to further FDA review
and feedback and the results of future clinical studies.
Our current
regulatory strategy is designed to support commercialization of Symphony in the United States pending marketing authorization from the
FDA. We have shifted our focus away from COVID-19 patients due to a significant decline in the number of COVID-19 related hospitalizations.
Based on this revised strategy, we plan to conduct a clinical 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 intend to proceed as planned while taking into account the FDA’s feedback.
We believe that we will maintain the previously disclosed Symphony IL-6 regulatory submission timeline of the first half of 2024.
We have
targeted large, well-known medical and academic institutions for our study, which we believe will help support initial commercialization
and market penetration. We believe that this clinical trial expansion could also support additional indications, but that any such expansion
also could delay obtaining marketing authorization for the product. Based on the pre-submission meeting with the FDA, the focus of the
clinical trial will be the risk stratification of hospitalized sepsis patients.
Although we believe that we have
a sound strategy for obtaining FDA regulatory approval and clearance, there can be no assurance that it will ultimately be obtained. Reasons
that approval and clearance might not be obtained, on our expected timeline or at all, include that we are unable to complete our planned
studies (due to lack of funding, delays or interruptions in the manufacturing of quality-sufficient cartridges needed to be used in the
study, or otherwise), that clinical results are not sufficient to demonstrate required efficacy, or that the FDA does not agree with our
study design or aspects of our submission. In addition, the FDA could also change its clearance and approval policies, adopt additional
regulations, or revise existing regulations, or take other actions which could prevent or delay approval or clearance. Any of these
actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
