bioAffinity Technologies Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

  • Successfully completed $15.6 million IPO, including the exercise of warrants
  • Awarded therapeutic patents in China, Mexico and Australia
  • Company on track to expand marketing outreach for its initial product, CyPath® Lung, that detects early-stage lung cancer

bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company addressing the need for noninvasive diagnosis of early-stage cancer and diseases of the lung, and targeted cancer treatment, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2022 and provided a business update.

“Since our founding, bioAffinity Technologies has been dedicated to addressing the urgent need for noninvasive, early-stage cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment,” said Maria Zannes, President and Chief Executive Officer of bioAffinity Technologies. “Now that we have successfully raised the needed funds, we are confident that the outstanding scientific and commercialization team we have assembled will demonstrate the clinical value of CyPath® Lung in the marketplace. We will continue the development of additional non-invasive diagnostics for early-stage disease. With funds raised from our recent IPO and the exercise of warrants, bioAffinity Technologies also will pursue its promising research and development of broad-spectrum cancer therapeutics.

“We have begun a limited test-market launch in the San Antonio area and recently have started to recognize revenue from sales of CyPath® Lung by our licensee, Precision Pathology Services, a CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified clinical pathology laboratory,” Zannes said. “The limited launch allows us to evaluate our marketing program and help ensure each step in the care pathway – from the initial order by physicians, to sputum collection and processing, to generating and delivering the patient report – is efficient and effective. This limited test-market approach allows us to refine future positioning and develop strategic insight for our CyPath® Lung test before expanding to a larger national market. We believe our current efforts will be essential to developing a strategic and cost-effective plan for a robust national rollout.”

Corporate Highlights

Award of Therapeutic Patents in China, Mexico and Australia: In October, the Company was pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, OncoSelect®, has been awarded patents to protect novel porphyrin-conjugated compounds for selective delivery of cancer treatments by the People’s Republic of China.

Additionally, bioAffinity Technologies announced that Mexico and Australia recently awarded the Company therapeutic patents with claims directed to novel compounds of porphyrin-conjugates for selective delivery of cancer treatment. The patents grant protection to 2037.

Presentation at CHEST Conference: Also in October, bioAffinity Technologies announced that results of its research into the use of flow cytometry for analyzing the lung environment to detect diseases of the lung were accepted for presentation at the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) 2022 conference. The data showed how flow cytometry can be used in development of diagnostics for COPD and asthma – similar to how the Company successfully uses flow cytometry in the CyPath® Lung test to detect early-stage lung cancer.

Publication of Peer-Reviewed Results in PLOS ONE: In September, the Company announced publication of its research in high-throughput flow cytometry analysis of sputum in the journal, PLOS ONE. The article, titled Sputum analysis by flow cytometry; an effective platform to analyze the lung environment, reports on results of analyzing sputum by flow cytometry as the basis for high-throughput diagnostic tests to determine the health of the lung.

Successful Closing of IPO: On September 6, bioAffinity Technologies announced the successful closing of its Initial Public Offering (IPO) of 1,282,600 units, each consisting of one share of common stock, one tradeable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.35 per share, and one non-tradeable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.656 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7.8 million, prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses.

Subsequent to the close of the IPO, the Company announced receipt of approximately $7.7 million in additional gross proceeds from the exercise of tradeable and non-tradeable warrants. Specifically, investors exercised a total of 725,576 tradeable warrants at a price of $7.35 per share and 310,910 non-tradeable warrants at a price of $7.656 per share. Combined with the Company’s underwritten public offering, the Company received an aggregate of approximately $15.6 million as of September 28, 2022. In addition, the Company converted almost $11 million in debt and related accrued interest as a result of the IPO.

Financial Highlights

bioAffinity Technologies reported revenue of about $1,150 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. There was no revenue to report the prior year.

bioAffinity Technologies reported a net loss of $4.6 million or $1.10 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million or $0.57 per share for the same period in 2021.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, were $319,744 compared to $330,772 for the third quarter of 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in legal costs related to patents and annuities compared to the prior year.

General and administrative expenses were $596,476 for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $161,549 for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting, legal and professional fees incurred in 2022 compared to 2021 and costs due to the activities associated with being a public company.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $13.5 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2021. In September 2022, the Company completed an Initial Public Offering resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $15.6 million.
