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 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.
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). The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock
on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to take all reasonable measures available to achieve compliance and allow for continued
listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum
bid price requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
Going Concern
The Consolidated Financial Statements for the
years ended March 31, 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 $6.8 million at March
31, 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 is expanding clinical trials to obtain additional 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 $1.4 million of current liabilities on its balance sheet at March 31,
2023 and capital commitments of approximately $2.5 million as of March 31, 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 may 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 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 March 31, 2023, its results of operations and cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 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 months ended
March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 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. As of March 31, 2023 and December
31, 2022, all of the Company’s assets were located in the United States.
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):

Class B warrants for common stock | |

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
three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31,
2022, there were no amounts accrued related to the License Agreement.

No warrants were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2023
and 2022.
Class A Warrants and Class B
Warrants
In conjunction with the Company’s
IPO in November 2021 the Company issued 2,160,000 Class A Warrants and 2,160,000 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 324,000 Class A Warrants and 324,000 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 $7.00 per share. As of March 31, 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 $10.00 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 three months ended March 31, 2023, no Class B Warrants were exercised, while
during the three months ended March 31, 2022, 39,000 Class B Warrants were exercised, all on a cashless basis. As of March 31, 2023 and
2022, respectively,75,400 and 76,500 Class B Warrants were 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, which is 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 629,440. At March 31, 2023, there were
262,269 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 1,960,000 shares of common stock were approved to be initially reserved for issuance under the 2021 Stock Plan. At March 31, 2023,
there were 807,541 shares available for grant under the 2021 Plan.

In February 2023, the Company issued 374,680
fully vested restricted stock units to certain employees in lieu of cash to satisfy their 2022 bonuses. The number of restricted stock
unit awards issued were determined based on the approved bonus amount divided by the market price of the Company’s common stock
on the date of grant. The value of fully vested restricted stock unit awards issued is recorded as stock compensation expense on the
date of grant with a reversal of the related accrued bonus recorded in 2022.

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 the first quarter of 2023, no impairment was recorded, however, 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
$45,000 of additional depreciation recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Commitments
In October 2022, the Company entered
into a non-cancelable purchase commitment with an international materials vendor for items needed for both development of the Symphony
product line and also to resell to its customers. This agreement commits the Company to purchase approximately $800,000 in goods, of
which 50% was prepaid in 2022. Approximately $90,000 of goods have been received under this arrangement as of March 31, 2023.
The Company had multiple open purchase
commitments with its primary contract manufacturing organization in Japan related to the buildout of a manufacturing line for the IL-6
cartridges for the Symphony device. As of March 31, 2023, the total open non-cancellable commitments for the manufacturing line buildout
totaled approximately $127,000.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company has entered into other non-cancelable
purchase commitments primarily for research and development supplies, prototypes, and key advisory services. The purchase commitments
covered by these agreements are for less than one year and aggregate to approximately $1.5 million.
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
Toray in such calendar year. There were no sales of or revenues from the Cartridges through March 31, 2023.
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.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 25, 2023, Nasdaq’s
Listing Qualifications Staff notified the Company that it has extended the time period 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.
The Company intends to continue to actively monitor the closing bid
price of its common stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. Specifically, the
Company has confirmed to Nasdaq that, if necessary, it will implement a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock (if approved
by the Company’s stockholders) to attempt to regain compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance within the additional
compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then
be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance
with the Minimum Bid Requirement during the 180-day additional compliance period or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing
requirements.
