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 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.

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.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

The following table sets forth our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

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.

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 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 30^th 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.
