As
of December 31, 2024,2025, we had 17,407,12043,480,411 shares of our common stock outstanding and 530,613790,376 shares of our common stock reserved for future
issuance to employees, directors and consultants pursuant to our employee stock plans, which excludes 876,2493,114,229 shares of our common stock
that were subject to outstanding options and 149,061 restricted stock units.options. In addition, as of December 31, 2024,2025, warrants to purchase
4,475,068 21,235,745 shares of our common stock were outstanding. These warrants are exercisable at the election of the holders thereof, in accordance
with the terms of the related warrant, at an average exercise price of $2.90$0.98 per share.
The
great majority of laboratory tests in the United States are paid for by third party payers. Accordingly, our current revenues are from,
and our future revenues will be dependent upon, third-party reimbursement payments to Aspira Labs. Insurance coverage and reimbursement
rates for diagnostic tests are uncertain, subject to change and particularly volatile during the early stages of commercialization. There
remain questions as to what extent third-party payers, like Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies will provide coverage
for our products and for which indications. Some payers have determined not to cover our tests. While Novitas Solutions, the Medicare
Administrative Contractor responsible for paying Medicare claims for all Aspira laboratory tests, has determined to cover Ova1, there
is no assurance that they will continue to do so. Moreover, while The CentersCMS for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”)
has issued PAMA reimbursement rates for Ova1 effective January 1, 2018, there is no guarantee that the payment rates will not be reduced.
Although the PAMA legislation allows for no more than a 15% fee reduction between 2025 and 2026, uncertainty regarding reimbursement
rates could create payment uncertainty from other payers as well. The reimbursement rates for Ova1 and OvaWatch are reviewed by
third-party payers. We have experienced volatility in the coverage and reimbursement of our products due to contract negotiation with
third-party payers and implementation requirements, and the reimbursement amounts we have received from third-party payers varies from
payer to payer, and, in some cases, the variance could be material.
Our
success depends on our ability to continue to develop and commercialize diagnostic products. There is considerable risk in developing
diagnostic products based on our biomarker discovery efforts, as candidate biomarkers may fail to demonstrate clinical validity in larger
clinical studies or may not achieve acceptable levels of analytical accuracy. For example, markers being evaluated for one or more next-generation
diagnostic tests may not be validated in downstream pre-clinical or clinical studies, once we undertake and perform such studies. In
addition, development of products combining biomarkers with imaging, patient risk factors or other risk indicators carry higher than
average risks due to technical, clinical and regulatory uncertainties. While we have a published proof of concept on combining Ova1 and
imaging, for example, our ability to develop, verify and validate an algorithm that generalizes to routine testing populations cannot
be guaranteed. In addition, our efforts to develop other diagnostic tests, such as ENDOinform and OVAinform, are in the earlydevelopment development
phase, and future pre-clinical or clinical studies may not support our early data. If successful, the regulatory pathway and clearance/approval
process may require extensive discussion with applicable authorities and possibly advisory panels. These pose considerable risk in projecting
launch dates, requirements for clinical evidence and eventual pricing and return on investment. Although we are engaging important stakeholders
representing gynecologic oncology, benign gynecology, patient advocacy, women’s health research, legislators, payers, and others,
success, timelines and value will be uncertain and require active management at all stages of innovation and development.
Competitive
offerings include Fujirebio Diagnostics’ FDA cleared ROMA test. ROMA combines two tumor markers and menopausal status into a numerical
score using a publicly available algorithm. ROMA is a competitive test with the Ova1Plus workflow that has adversely impacted and may
continue to materially adversely impact our revenue. In addition, competitors, AOA Dx, ClearNote, Cleo Diagnostics, Mercy BioAnalytics,
and others have publicly disclosed that they have been or are currently working on ovarian cancer diagnostic assays. Exact Sciences,
Grail, and others are working on multi-cancer early diagnosticMCED tests that include ovarian cancer detection. Academic institutions periodically
report new findings in ovarian cancer diagnostics that may have commercial value.
We
have priced our products at a point that recognizes the value-added by itstheir increased sensitivity for detecting ovarian malignancy. If
others develop a test that is viewed to be similar to any of these products in safety and efficacy but is priced at a lower point, we
and/ or our strategic partners may have to lower the price of that product in order to effectively compete, which would impact our margins
and potential for profitability.
We are currently offering and developing multiple tests as LDTs and intend to develop and perform LDTs at Aspira Labs in the future. If FDA were to begin actively regulating our tests, we would incur substantial costs and delays associated with the effort to obtain premarket 510(k) clearance, de novo classification, or premarket approval and incur costs related to compliance with post-market controls.
With the exception of Ova1 and Overa, we believe our tests are LDTs. The FDA generally considers an LDT to be a test that is designed, manufactured, and used within a single laboratory that is certified under CLIA and meets the regulatory requirements under CLIA to perform high complexity testing. Our laboratories are currently regulated under CLIA and accredited by the College of American Pathologists (“CAP”). We are subject to additional federal and state laws and regulations. The FDA issued a final rule in May 2024 that would have subjected many LDTs to regulatory requirements including, in some cases, premarket authorization. A federal district court vacated the FDA final rule in May 2025, holding that LDTs are not subject to FDA regulation. The FDA rescinded the final rule in September 2025. The FDA has not indicated how it will interpret the court ruling or whether it will seek a different regulatory approach with respect to LDTs or components thereof. In June 2025, Congress re-introduced the Verifying Accurate, Leading-edge IVCT Development Act (“VALID Act”) to establish a new risk-based regulatory framework for in vitro clinical tests (“IVCTs”), including IVDs, LDTs, collection devices and instruments used with such tests. This legislation was previously introduced in 2021 and 2023. If we are unable to comply with requirements that the FDA , either on its own initiative or at the direction of Congress, decides to implement in the future, or if we cannot do so within the timeframes specified by the FDA, we may be forced to stop selling our tests or be required to modify claims or make such other changes while we update our processes.
We
are currently offering and developing multiple tests as LDTs and intend to develop and perform LDTs at Aspira Labs in the future. FDA’s
newly-issued rule for LDTs, which will be phased in over a period of four years, will significantly change the regulatory landscape for
LDTs. Unless the rule is overturned by a court or superseded by Congressional action, our currently marketed LDTs and those we develop
in the future will be subject to new requirements including, for some tests, premarket authorization. The new rule will lead to additional
compliance costs and may delay or prevent market entry for new or modified tests and there is a risk that their commercialization, and
our results of operations and financial condition, will be negatively affected.
The
FDA considers an LDT to be a test that is designed, developed, validated, and used within a single, CLIA-certified high complexity laboratory.
The FDA has historically taken the position that it has the authority to regulate LDTs as in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) medical
devices under the FDC Act, but it has generally exercised enforcement discretion with regard to LDTs, meaning that most LDTs have not
been subject to FDA oversight. On May 6, 2024, the FDA published a final rule amending the definition of an IVD device to include IVDs
manufactured by a clinical laboratory, effectively codifying its position that LDTs are IVDs and, therefore, that LDTs fall under FDA’s
regulatory authority. The final rule also announced the FDA’s intention to phase out its general enforcement discretion policy.
Unless the rule is overturned by a court or superseded by Congressional action, the medical device requirements for most LDTs will be
phased in beginning on May 6, 2025.
The
new rule implements a phased approach to ending FDA’s policy of enforcement discretion for LDTs. The phased approach establishes
timelines for LDT sponsors to comply with different categories of FDA device regulations, and the clock starts on the final rule’s
publication date – May 6, 2024, the date to which all five phases are anchored. The phases are as follows: (1) LDTs are subject
to Medical Device Reporting (“MDR”), as well as adverse event reporting, one year after the final rule’s publication
date (i.e., May 6, 2025); (2) LDTs are subject to registration/listing, labeling, and investigational use requirements two years after
the final rule’s publication date (i.e., May 6, 2026); (3) LDTs are subject to Quality System regulations three years after the
final rule’s publication date (i.e., May 6, 2027); (4) high-risk LDTs are subject to premarket review (i.e., 510(k) clearance,
de novo classification, or PMA, as applicable) three-and-a-half years after the final rule’s publication date (i.e., Nov.
6, 2027), unless a premarket submission has been received by the beginning of this stage in which case FDA intends to continue to exercise
enforcement discretion for the pendency of its review; and (5) mid- and low-risk LDTs are subject to premarket review (i.e., 510(k) clearance,
de novo classification, or PMA, as applicable) four years after the final rule’s publication date (i.e., May 6, 2028), unless
a premarket submission has been received by the beginning of this stage in which case FDA intends to continue to exercise enforcement
discretion for the pendency of its review.
Certain
categories of LDTs will be subject to enforcement discretion with respect to some or all of these requirements. In total, the new rule
identifies eight (8) types of LDTs for which it will continue to exercise enforcement discretion with respect to some or all regulatory
requirements. For example, the FDA will apply enforcement discretion to currently marketed LDTs that were first offered prior to May
6, 2024, with respect to most quality system requirements and the requirement for premarket authorization if they are not modified or
modified in only limited ways. The FDA will similarly exercise enforcement discretion with respect to premarket authorization for LDTs
approved by the New York State Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program. However, laboratories performing these tests are subject to all
other requirements outlined in FDA’s phase-out policy, including, but not limited to, the requirement to submit the labeling for
the LDT to FDA for review. As outlined in the new rule, FDA will also exercise enforcement discretion with respect to some or all regulatory
requirements for certain LDTs designed for rare, unmet, or specific needs, LDTs manufactured and performed within the Veterans Health
Administration (“VHA”) or the Department of Defense (“DoD”), so-called “1967-Type LDTs,” and forensic
use LDTs.
Compliance
with these additional regulatory requirements will be time-consuming and expensive, potentially diverting resources from other aspects
of our business, and will potentially affect the sales of our products and how customers use our products and will require reevaluation
of our business model in order to maintain compliance with these laws. Moreover, failure to comply with these and other FDA regulations
could result in legal actions, including fines, penalties, and exclusion from federal healthcare programs (e.g., Medicare).
If
we develop tests in the future that are unablesubject to comply with FDA requirements, or to do so within the timeframes specified by the FDA, we may be forced to stop selling
our tests or be required to modify claims or make such other changes while we update our processes. For existing or future tests subject
to FDA clearance, approval or de novo classification, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be negatively
affected until such a review is completed and clearance, approval or de novo classification to market were obtained. There can
be no assurance that any tests we develop will be cleared, approved or classified on a timely basis, if at all. Obtaining FDA clearance,
approval or de novo classification for diagnostics can be expensive, time consuming and uncertain, and for higher-risk devices
generally takes several years and requires detailed and comprehensive scientific and clinical data. Ongoing compliance with FDA regulations
for those tests will increase the cost of conducting our business, significantly affect our operations, and could have a significant
negative impact on our financial performance.
Legislative
proposals addressing the FDA’s oversight of LDTs have been previously introduced. In June 2021, Congress introduced the Verifying
Accurate, Leading-edge IVCT Development (“VALID”) Act, which would have established a new risk-based regulatory framework
for in vitro clinical tests (“IVCTs”), a category which would have included IVDs, LDTs, collection devices and instruments
used with such tests. This legislation was not enacted during that session of Congress, but was reintroduced in 2023. FDA’s new
LDT final rule may renew attention to VALID and may lead to the introduction of new proposals to limit the FDA’s regulatory authority.
FDA’s
new rule, which establishes the phase-out policy for enforcement discretion with respect to LDTs, has been challenged in two separate
lawsuits – one brought in the District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and the other brought in the District Court for
the Southern District of Texas. As of the time of this filing, both cases are still pending.
Our
Certain of our diagnostic tests and associated software are subject to ongoing regulation by the FDA, and we may develop additional FDA-regulated diagnostic tests and software in the future. Any failure to comply with applicable FDA regulations for our current FDA regulated products, and any delay by or failure of the FDA to authorize ourfuture diagnostic
testsproducts submittedwe submit to the FDA may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our
activitiesSome relatedof toour currently marketed and potential future diagnostic products and associated software are, or havemay in the potential tofuture be, subject to regulatory oversight by the FDA under provisions
of the FDC Act and regulations thereunder, including regulations governing the development, marketing, labeling, promotion, manufacturing
and export of our products. Failure to comply with applicable pre-market and post-market requirements can lead to sanctions, including withdrawal of products from
the market, recalls, refusal to authorize government contracts, product seizures, civil money penalties, injunctions and criminal prosecution.
The
FDC Act requires that medical devices introduced to the United States market, unless exempted by regulation, be authorized by FDA pursuant
to either the premarket notification pathway, known as 510(k) clearance, the de novo classification pathway, or the PMA pathway.
The FDA granted a request for a de novo authorizationclassification for Ova1 in September 2009, and we commercially launched Ova1 in March 2010.
In March 2016, we received FDA 510(k) clearance for a second-generation biomarker panel known as Ova1 Next Generation, which we call
Overa. Ova1 was the first FDA-clearedFDA-authorized blood test for the pre-operative assessment of ovarian masses. With respect to devices reviewed
through the 510(k) process, we may not market a device until it is determined that our product is substantially equivalent to a legally
marketed device known as a predicate device. A 510(k) submission may involve the presentation of a substantial volume of data, including
clinical and analytical data, as well as extensive information regarding software. The FDA may agree that the product is substantially
equivalent to a predicate device and allow the product to be marketed in the United States. On the other hand, the FDA may determine
that the device is not substantially equivalent and require a PMA or de novo classification, or require further information, such
as additional test data, including data from clinical studies, before it is able to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence.
By requesting additional information, the FDA can delay market introduction of our products. Delays in receipt of or failure to receive
any necessary 510(k) clearance, de novo classification, or PMA, or the imposition of stringent restrictions on the labeling and
sales of our products, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If the FDA
determines that a PMA is required for any of our potential future clinical products, the application will require extensive clinical
studies, manufacturing information and could require review by an FDA advisory panel comprising experts outside the FDA. Clinical studies
to support a 510(k) submission, de novo classification or a PMA application would need to be conducted in accordance with FDA
requirements. Failure to comply with FDA requirements could result in the FDA’s refusal to accept the submission or denial of the
application. We cannot ensure that any necessary 510(k) clearance, de novo classification, or PMA will be granted on a timely
basis, or at all. To the extent we seek FDA 510(k) clearance, de novo classification or FDA pre-market approval for other diagnostic
tests, any delay by or failure of the FDA to clear, classify, or approve those diagnostic tests may adversely affect our consolidated
revenues, results of operations and financial condition.
Certain
of our software algorithms have been authorized for marketing by FDA as part of our cleared or de novo classified tests.IVDs. If any
of the software that we use in our LDTs or that we make available to third parties is determined by FDA to be non-exempt clinical decision
support software, this could impede our ability to offer our tests or distribute our software to third parties and we could incur substantial
costs and delays associated with trying to obtain premarket 510(k) clearance, de novo classification, or premarket review and
incur costs associated with complying with post-market controls.
Additionally,
if the FDA were to view any of our actions as non-compliant, it could initiate enforcement actions, such as a warning letter and possible
imposition of penalties. For instance, we are subject to a number of FDA requirements, including compliance with the FDA’s QSR
QMSR requirements, which establish extensive requirements for quality assurance and control as well as manufacturing procedures. Failure to
comply with these regulations could result in enforcement actions for us or our potential suppliers. Adverse FDA actions in any of these
areas could significantly increase our expenses and reduce our revenue. We will need to undertake steps to maintain our operations in
line with the FDA’s QSRQMSR requirements. Some components of Ova1 and Overa are manufactured by other companies and we are required
to ensure that, to the extent that we incorporate those components into our finished Ova1 and Overa products, we use those components
in compliance with QSR.QMSR. Any failure to do so would have an adverse effect on our ability to commercialize the Ova1Plus workflow. Our
suppliers that manufacture finished devices at their manufacturing facilities that we use in our products and services are subject to
periodic regulatory inspections by the FDA and other federal and state regulatory agencies. Our facility also is subject to FDA inspection.
We or our suppliers may not satisfy such regulatory requirements, and any such failure to do so may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
In
June 2014, we launched a clinical laboratory, Aspira Labs, in Texas. Clinical laboratories that perform tests on human subjects in the
United States for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of disease or the assessment of human
health must be certified under CLIA and licensed or permitted under applicable state laboratory laws. CLIA is a federal law that regulates
the quality of clinical laboratory testing by requiring laboratories to comply with various technical, operational, personnel and quality
requirements intended to ensure that the services provided are accurate, reliable and timely. A few states, including New York State,
may require that additional quality standards be met and that detailed review of scientific validations and technical procedures for
tests occur. In the future, the federal government may change the way that clinical laboratory tests are regulated, which may adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2014, we launched a clinical laboratory, Aspira Labs, in Texas. Aspira Labs holds a CLIA Certificate of Accreditation and a CAP Certificate of Accreditation, as well as a state laboratory license or permit in California, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. This allows the lab to perform Ova1 and Overa testing (through the Ova1Plus workflow) on a national basis. We are subject to periodic surveys and inspections to maintain our CLIA certification, and such certification is also required to obtain payment from Medicare, Medicaid and certain other third-party payers. Failure to comply with CLIA or state law requirements may result in the imposition of corrective action or the suspension or revocation of our CLIA certification or state licenses. If our CLIA certification or state licenses are suspended or revoked or our right to bill the Medicare and Medicaid programs or other third-party payers is suspended, we would no longer be able to sell our tests, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are able to successfully reinstate the ARPA-H award and yet are unable to complete the required milestones
under our federal award milestone-based funding agreement, our business, results of operations and financial condition willwould be adversely
affected.
On October 23, 2024, we announced that we had been selected by the federal government’s Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (“ARPA-H”) as an awardee of a milestone-based funding agreement. On June 9, 2025, we received a notice from ARPA-H that our ENDOinform contract was terminated for failure to meet the specifications of Milestone 3. The loss of this non-dilutive funding eliminates a planned source of support for development activities and may delay the timeline to commercialize ENDOinform unless we are able to reinstate the award or secure alternative financing.
Failure to renew our Quest Diagnostics agreement could impact our business
Our current agreement with Quest Diagnostics expired as of December 31, 2025. If we fail to renew the agreement on acceptable terms, we could experience a disruption in logistics as well as a loss of revenue.
On October 23, 2024, we announced
that we had been selected by the federal government as an awardee of a milestone-based funding agreement. A failure to meet the milestone
deadlines in the agreement would require good faith negotiations with the awarding party, including a request for an extension. There
is no guarantee that such an extension would be granted.
Our
milestone-based funding from a federal award could be delayed or eliminated based on actions from the Trump Administration.
On
January 27, 2025, the Trump Administration announced that all federal grants and loans would be paused for a period of time. The announcement
resulted in confusion as to what programs would be affected and for how long. As of the date of this filing, we are not aware of any
pause or termination of our federal award. However, the possibility exists that the federal award could be restricted or terminated by
the Trump Administration in the future. If the federal award is restricted or terminated, it would have a material adverse effect on
our development of our endometriosis diagnostic test which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business
and results of operations.
The
testing, manufacturing and marketing of medical diagnostic tests entail an inherent risk of product liability claims. Potential product
liability claims may exceed the amount of our insurance coverage or may be excluded from coverage under the terms of the policy. We will
need to increase ourthe amount of our insurance coverage in the future if we are successful at introducing new diagnostic products, and this
will increase our costs. If we are held liable for a claim or for damages exceeding the limit of our insurance coverage, we may be required
to make substantial payments. This may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There is a limited market for our Common Stock.
Our common stock is not listed on any national exchange. We were delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market on April 15, 2025. Our common stock immediately began trading on the OTC Markets Group and currently trade on the OTC Markets OTCQX system. As such, owners of our common stock experience reduced liquidity and limited availability of market quotations for our securities. Our access to capital and facilities such as an At-the-Market or equity line of credit that require a national exchange listing could be impaired. Owners of our stock may be impacted by the loss of institutional investor interest, the limited amount of analyst coverage and the requirement for brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent “penny-stock” rules, which could possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity for our securities.
If
we fail to maintain compliance with the NasdaqOTC QX minimum listing requirements, our common stock will be subject to delisting.removal to the OTC QB market. Our ability
to publicly or privately sell equity securities and the liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected if our common stock
is delisted.downgraded.
Our
common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The continued listingtrading of our common stock on The NasdaqOTC CapitalQX Best Market is contingent
on our continued compliance with a number of listing requirements. If we are unable to comply with the continued listing requirements
of The NasdaqOTC CapitalQX Best Market, our common stock would be delisteddowngraded fromto Thethe NasdaqOTC CapitalQB Market, which would further limit investors’
ability to effect transactions in our common stock and subject us to additional trading restrictions. In order to maintain
our listing,trading status, we must maintain certain share prices, financial and share distribution targets, including maintaining a minimum amount
of stockholders’ equity and a minimum number of publicrevenue, stockholders,assets asor wellmarket as satisfying other listing requirements of The Nasdaq
Capital Market. In addition to these objective standards, The Nasdaq Capital Market may delist the securities of any issuer for other
reasons involving the judgment of The Nasdaq Capital Market.capitalization.
On
July 1, 2024, we received a deficiency letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock
Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notice, our Market Value
of Listed Securities was below the minimum of $35 million required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2)
(the “MVLS Requirement”). To regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement, the market value of our common stock must have
met or exceeded $35.0 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180-day grace period ending on December 30, 2024
(the “MVLS Compliance Date”), unless the Staff of Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend this 10 consecutive business
day period. As of December 30, 2024, we were unable to regain compliance by the MVLS Compliance Date. As such, on December 31,
2024, Nasdaq notified us that our securities are subject to delisting. While we requested an appeal of Nasdaq’s delisting
determination and presented our plan at a hearing on February 18, 2025, no assurance can be provided that we will be successful in appealing
such determination and maintaining the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
We
presented an appeal of Nasdaq’s determination to delist our common stock. As a result of the hearing, on March 6, 2025, we received
written notice from Nasdaq that it would grant our request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market subject to certain conditions.
Although we have been granted the conditional exception to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, no assurance can be provided that
we will successfully meet the conditions of the exception and that our common stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital
Market.
Furthermore,
on October 17, 2024, we received written notice from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the
minimum bid price of our common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5810, and assuming our common stock is not delisted for our failure to satisfy the MVLS Requirement by the MVLS Compliance Date,
we will have a period of 180 calendar days, or until April 15, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and
market value of common stock requirement. To regain compliance with the Nasdaq bid price requirement, the closing bid price of our common
stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days during this 180- calendar day period. In the event
we do not regain compliance by April 15, 2025, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period.
On February 11, 2025, we received
written notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC that based on the closing bid price per share immediately preceding entering into a binding
agreement to issue the securities for the Private Placement of $1.47 per share plus $0.125 attributable to the value of the warrants,
the market value of the transaction for purposes of Listing Rule 5625(c) was $1.595. Since the shares and warrants sold in the private
placement were issued below the market value, and we failed to obtain shareholder approval, we violated Listing Rule 5635(c). Accordingly,
this matter served as an additional basis for delisting our securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market.
Subsequently,
on February 11, 2025, we completed amendments to the warrants prohibiting exercise until shareholder approval has been obtained. As a
result, the Staff of Nasdaq determined that we had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5635(c).
There
is no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with The NasdaqOTC CapitalQX Best Market continued listingtrading standards and/or continue
our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market in the future.
If
the Nasdaq Capital Market delists our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national
securities exchange, we expect our securities would qualify to be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could
face significant material adverse consequences, including:
Unless
our common stock continues to be listed on a national securities exchange it will become subject to the so-called “penny stock”
rules that impose restrictive sales practice requirements.
If
we are unable to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange, our common
stock could become subject to the so-called “penny stock” rules if the shares have a market value of less than $5.00 per
share. The SEC has adopted regulations that define a penny stock to include any stock that has a market price of less than $5.00 per
share, subject to certain exceptions, including an exception for stock traded on a national securities exchange. The SEC regulations
impose restrictive sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and
accredited investors. For transactions covered by this rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the
purchaser and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. This means that if we are unable
to maintain the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange, the ability of stockholders to sell their common stock
in the secondary market could be adversely affected. If a transaction involving a penny stock is not exempt from the SEC’s rule,
a broker-dealer must deliver a disclosure schedule relating to the penny stock market to each investor prior to a transaction. The broker-dealer
also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and its registered representative, current quotations for the penny
stock, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed
control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the
customer’s account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
In
addition, pursuant to a stockholders agreement we entered into in connection with a May 2013 private placement,placement (the “2013 Stockholders Agreement”), one of our stockholders
has the right to designate a director to be nominated by us to serve on our board of directors. Furthermore, this stockholderStockholders agreement
Agreement gives two investors the right to participate in future equity offerings, on the same terms as other investors. In addition, the stockholders
agreementStockholders Agreement prohibits us from taking certain material actions without the consent of at least one of the primary investors in the May 2013
private placement. These material actions include:
The
foregoing rights terminate for a primary investor when that investor ceases to beneficially own less than 50% of the shares and warrants
(taking into account shares issued upon exercise of the warrants), in the aggregate, that were purchased at the closing of the 2013 private
placement. We believe that the rights of one of the primary investors have terminated. The interests of the parties to the stockholders
agreement2013 Stockholders Agreement could conflict with or differ from our interests or the interests of other stockholders.
In
connection with our private placement offering of common stock and warrants in May 2013 we entered into athe stockholders agreement (the
“2013 Stockholders Agreement”) which, among other things, includes agreements limiting our ability to effect a change in
control without the consent of at least one of the primary investors in that offering. These and other provisions may have the effect
of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of us. The amendment of any of the provisions of either our
certificate of incorporation or bylaws described in the preceding paragraph would require not only approval by our board of directors
and the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of our then outstanding voting securities, but also consent pursuant to the terms of the
2013 Stockholders Agreement. We are also subject to certain provisions of Delaware law that could delay, deter or prevent a change in
control of the Company. These provisions could make a third-party acquisition of the Company difficult and limit the price that investors
might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

our decentralizedboth technologyin-house transferand servicedistributed platform, Aspira Synergy.pathways. We also intend to continue to raise public awareness regarding
the diagnostic superiority of the Ova1Plus workflow as compared to CA-125 on its own for all women with adnexal masses, as well as the
superior performance of machineour learning algorithmstests in detecting ovarian cancer in different racial and ethnic populations. We plan to
continue to expand access to our tests among Medicaid patients as part of our corporate mission to make the best care available to all
women, and we plan to advocate for legislation and the adoption of our technology in professional society guidelines to provide broad
access to our products and services.
We
are focused on commercializing our products and have established medical and advisory support and a Key Opinion Leader Network aligned
with our territories in the U.S. In addition, we added to our direct salesforce, and in 2021, we put Ova1 on our global testing platform,
Aspira Synergy. This platform allows tests to be deployed internationally as well as run by clients in the United States at major customer
sites. In 2024, we plan to continue our efforts to commercialize the Ova1Plus workflow by utilizing select partnerships for distribution
and expanding our managed care coverage and contracts in select markets.
2025 Strategic Shift
At the beginning of 2025, our new management team initiated a decisive strategic shift to position the Company on a path to profitability. This transformation was designed to significantly reduce cash burn while maintaining revenue performance.
As part of this effort, we streamlined our organization, reducing total headcount from 66 full-time employees as of December 31, 2024 to 36 full-time employees and two part-time employees in early 2025. In parallel, we executed a comprehensive reset of our commercial strategy. Leveraging detailed geographic profit and loss analysis, we reallocated resources to regions with favorable reimbursement profiles and reduced or eliminated outside sales efforts in markets with limited or no reimbursement. These actions were reinforced through enhanced sales training and a redesigned compensation structure aligned with profitability objectives.
We also optimized our marketing investments by eliminating spend that was not generating measurable revenue growth and implemented disciplined expense management practices consistent with a more efficient operating model.
To further improve margins, we intensified our focus on higher-reimbursement opportunities and expanded engagement with large accounts, including OB-GYN and hospital networks. This targeted approach resulted in two new contracts and a growing pipeline of additional large customer opportunities. Notably, we executed a contract with Mayo Clinical Laboratories and began generating new 2025 testing volume from Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
Concurrently, management conducted a comprehensive review of vendor and service agreements, resulting in renegotiated terms for key services, the transition to lower-cost vendors while maintaining service levels, and the elimination of non-essential contracts through process improvements.
As discussed in “Results of Operations,” these strategic actions delivered meaningful financial impact. We maintained year-over-year revenue while reducing operating loss by 51% and decreasing cash used in operations by 40%, demonstrating tangible progress toward profitability.
Management will continue to execute on these initiatives, with a focus on cost efficiency, improved average unit pricing for its tests, and increased unit sales. In 2026, we plan to build on this momentum as we advance our path to profitability and achieve key milestones across our product pipeline.
Product Pipeline
We aim to introduce new gynecologic diagnostic products and to expand our product offerings to additional women’s gynecologic health diseases by adding additional gynecologic bio-analytic solutions involving biomarkers, genetics, clinical risk factors and patient data to aid diagnosis and risk stratification. Future product expansions will be accelerated by the development of lab developed testing in a CLIA environment, relationships with strategic research and development partners, and access to specimens in our biobank.
The miRNAs used in the OVAinform test were the subject of a 2017 paper, “Diagnostic potential for a serum miRNA neural network for detection of ovarian cancer” published in the peer-reviewed journal Cancer Biology. In November 2024 a peer review journal publication entitled “Serum miRNA improves the accuracy of a multivariate index assay for triage of an adnexal mass” was published by our collaborator Dr. Kevin Elias’ lab in the journal Gynecologic Oncology. This paper demonstrated that the combination of miRNAs with serum protein biomarkers from Aspiras’s ovarian cancer risk tests provided superior performance over existing ovarian cancer risk assessment blood tests.
We have tested our entire set of selected miRNA biomarkers and, based on their performance, we are refining the features on our droplet digital PCR commercial platform. As a next step, we intend to increase our patient sample testing to refine the algorithm for the expanded utility of OVAinform.
ARPA-H
On October 23, 2024, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (“ARPA-H”) announced that it had selected Aspira as an awardee of the Sprint for Women’s Health. As an awardee, we would have received $10,000,000 in funding over two years through the Sprint for Women’s Health launchpad track for later-stage health solutions. We were entitled to payments based on the completion of certain agreed-upon milestones. The award also provided for access to advisors to support the successful completion and commercial launch of the test before the end of the two-year contract term.
Through our development of ENDOinform, as discussed above, we met the first milestone for payment in the fourth quarter of 2024 and received a payment of $2,000,000. The second milestone was met during the first quarter of 2025, and we received a payment of $1,500,000. These payments are recognized in Other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025.
On June 9, 2025, Aspira received notice from VentureWell, the assigned managing contractor for ARPA-H, that Aspira had not met the specifications of the third milestone, and therefore elected to terminate the contract award. We disagree with this finding and believe we have successfully completed the third milestone per the agreement.
After the termination of this award, we have continued to fund ENDOinform development work. We will require additional funding to maintain the working capital necessary to continue our existing operations while also developing our product pipeline.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
significant accounting policies are described in Note 1, Basis for Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies,
of the Notes to theour Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Consolidated Financial Statements
are prepared in conformity with GAAP. Preparation of the financial statements requires us to make critical judgments, estimates, and
assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods (and related disclosures). We believe the policies discussed below are our critical accounting estimates, as they include the
more significant, subjective, and complex judgments and estimates made when preparing our consolidated financial statements.
Common Stock Warrants
In August 2022, we entered into an underwriting agreement, pursuant to which we issued warrants to purchase up to 799,985 shares of our Common Stock (the “August 2022 Warrants”). The August 2022 Warrants are classified as a liability on our financial statements and fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model uses Level 2 inputs.
In March 2025, we recorded warrants to purchase up to 12,298,177 shares of our Common stock in connection with the conversion of Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “March 2025 Warrants”). The March 2025 Warrants are classified as a liability on our financial statements. The March 2025 Warrants had an exercise price of $0.25 per share for the first 24 months after issuance, and $0.50 per share thereafter, but were modified in September 2025 to an exercise price of $0.35 per share (the “Amended March 2025 Warrants”), utilizing a fixed expiration date. Prior to the modification, the fair value of the March 2025 Warrants was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model, which uses Level 3 inputs due to its incorporation of significant inputs that are not observable in the market. The mean present value across multiple simulation iterations was used to estimate the fair value of the March 2025 Warrants. Following the modification, the fair value of the Amended March 2025 Warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Level 2 assumption inputs generally require analysis to develop.
Warrants to purchase 450,000 shares of our Common Stock were exercised in September 2025.
As
discussed in Note 1 to theour consolidated financial statements, Basis for Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies, we have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations
since inception, and as a result have an accumulated deficit of approximately $531,397,000$544,177,000 at December 31, 2024.2025. We expect to incur a
net loss in 20252026 as well. In order to continue our operations as currently planned through 20252026 and beyond, we will need to raise additional
capital. Given the above conditions, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.
On June 9, 2025, we received a notice from Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (“ARPA-H”) that our ENDOinform contract originally signed in October 2024 was terminated for failure to meet the specifications of the third milestone under the contract. We received $2,000,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $1,500,000 in the first quarter of 2025 prior to the termination of the contract. The loss of this non-dilutive funding eliminates a planned source of support for development activities and may delay the timeline to commercialize ENDOinform unless we are able to reinstate the award or secure alternative financing.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there was a net increase in the Change in fair value of Warrant Liabilities of $5,607,000. The increase was due to the modification of the March 2025 Warrants, as well as the increase in our stock price during the year. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there was a net decrease in fair value of $1,346,000. The change in fair value during the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in our stock price during the year.
Change in fair value of Convertible Notes. The change in fair value of Convertible Notes for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $170,000, which was the gain recognized upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes into Units.
Loss upon issuance of Convertible Notes carried at fair value. The loss upon issuance of Convertible Notes carried at fair value for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1,198,000. This represents an immediate loss recognized by the Company upon the issuance of the Convertible Notes.

31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in the net interest expense was primarily related to a decrease in the interest earned on
our money market accounts, offset by the lower interest on the DECD loan after the forgiveness of $1,000,000.
Forgiveness
of DECD loan. Forgiveness of the DECD loan decreased $1,000,000, compared to the same period in 2023. $1,000,000 of our loan

The
loan may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. We received an initial disbursement of $2,000,000 on April 15, 2016 under
the DECD Loan Agreement. As we had achieved the target employment milestone necessary to receive an additional $1,000,000 under the DECD
Loan Agreement and the DECD determined to fund the remaining $1,000,000 under the DECD Loan Agreement after concluding that the required
revenue target would likely have been achieved in the first quarter of 2020 in the absence of the impacts of COVID-19, on December 3,
2020, we received a disbursement of the remaining $2,000,000 available under the DECD Loan Agreement.
Under
the terms of the DECD Loan Agreement, we were eligible for forgiveness of up to $1,500,000 of the principal amount of the loan had we

Our product revenue is generated by performing diagnostic services using our OvaSuite tests, and the service is completed upon the delivery of the test result to the prescribing physician. The entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation contained in a contract with a patient. Under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, all revenue is recognized upon completion of the OvaSuite test and delivery of test results to the physician based on estimates of amounts that will ultimately be realized. In determining the amount of revenue to be recognized for a delivered test result, we consider factors such as payment history and amount, payer coverage, whether there is a reimbursement contract between the payer and us, and any developments or changes that could impact reimbursement. These estimates require significant judgment by management. For OvaSuite tests, we also review our patient account population and determine an appropriate distribution of patient accounts by payer (i.e., Medicare, patient pay, other third-party payer, etc.) into portfolios with similar collection experience. When evaluated for collectability, this results in a materially consistent revenue amount for such portfolios as if each patient account were evaluated on an individual contract basis.
Results of Operations – Three Months Ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025
The selected summary financial and operating data of the Company for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows.
Product Revenue. Revenue for Aspira Labs is recognized when the Ova1, Overa, Ova1Plus or OvaWatch test is completed based on estimates of what we expect to ultimately realize. The 14% product15% revenue decrease is primarily due to a decrease in OvaSuite test volume compared to the prior year.
The number of OvaSuite tests performed decreased 14%12% to 4,8965,059 during the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to 5,679 product5,728 tests for the same period in 2025. This decrease is a result of our reduced field sales headcount. We expect revenue to increase in the secondthird quarter due to our focus on higher revenue generating payers.
The volume and AUP for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows.
Cost of Revenue – Product.Revenue. The increase in Cost of product revenue was primarily due to an increase in phlebotomy expenses of $296,000 and personnelconsulting costs of $33,000,$53,000, postage costs of $24,000 and software licenses of $21,000, partially offset by a decrease in consultinglab costssupplies of $103,000,$33,000, and postage costsroyalties of $61,000.$11,000. We expect the cost of revenue to increase slightly in 2026 as the number of tests performed increases.
Gross Profit Margin. Gross profit margin for product revenue decreased from 68.5%63.8% to 54.4%55.3% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to develop our technology and carry out clinical studies, and include personnel-related expenses, regulatory costs, reagents and supplies used in research and development laboratory work, infrastructure expenses, contract services and other outside costs. The increasedecrease in research and development expenses for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to a increasedecrease in clinical trial costs of $295,000 and personnel costs of $52,000,$58,000, partially offset by aan decreaseincrease in consulting costs of $34,000 and lab supplies of $31,000.$32,000. We expect research and development expenses to increase modestly over the secondthird quarter of 2026, as a result of our focus on the product pipeline.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, education and promotional expenses. These expenses include the costs of educating physicians and other healthcare professionals regarding our products. Sales and marketing expenses also include the costs of sponsoring continuing medical education, medical meeting participation, and dissemination of scientific and health economic publications. Sales and marketing expenses decreased for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to decreased personnel costs of $425,000,$61,000, costs related to our contracted sales team of $48,000,$40,000, and consulting costs of $41,000.$28,000, partially offset by an increase in software costs of $13,000. We expect sales and marketing expenses to remaindecrease flatslightly during the secondthird quarter of 2026.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, professional fees and other costs, including legal, finance and accounting expenses and other infrastructure expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnelconsulting costs of $292,000,$415,000, legalboard fees of $267,000,$60,000, temporary help costs of $53,000, audit and tax costs of $257,000,$44,000, partially offset by public company costs of $195,000$114,000 and boardlegal fees of $90,000.$242,000. We expect general and administrative expenses to increaseremain modestlyflat during the secondthird quarter of 2026, due to our annual shareholders’ meeting.2026.
Change in fair value of Warrant Liabilities. For each of the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, aan declineincrease in our stock price during the quarter resulted in a gainloss recognized in the Change in fair value of Warrant Liabilities.
Results of Operations – Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
The selected summary financial and operating data of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows.
Revenue. Revenue for Aspira Labs is recognized when the Ova1, Overa, Ova1Plus or OvaWatch test is completed based on estimates of what we expect to ultimately realize. The 14% revenue decrease is due to a decrease in OvaSuite test volume compared to the prior year.
The number of OvaSuite tests performed decreased 13% to 9,955 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 11,407 tests for the same period in 2025. This decrease is a result of our reduced field sales headcount.
The volume and AUP for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows.
Cost of Revenue. The increase in Cost of revenue was primarily due to a one-time increase in phlebotomy expenses of $286,000 and increases in software license costs of $47,000 and personnel costs of $40,000, partially offset by a decrease in consulting costs of $50,000, and lab supplies of $50,000.
Gross Profit Margin. Gross profit margin for revenue decreased from 66.1% to 54.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025.
Research and Development Expenses. The increase in research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to an increase in clinical trial costs of $237,000 and personnel costs of $59,000, partially offset by a decrease in lab supplies of $36,000.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to decreased personnel costs of $493,000, costs related to our contracted sales team of $89,000, and consulting costs of $69,000.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in consulting costs of $448,000, audit and tax costs of $301,000, personnel costs of $268,000, board fees of $149,000, temporary help costs of $90,000, public company costs of $81,000, business insurance costs of $50,000 and legal fees of $25,000,.
Change in fair value of Warrant Liabilities. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, a decline in our stock price during the quarter resulted in a gain recognized in the Change in fair value of Warrant Liabilities.
Net Income. A decline in our stock price during the three months ended March 31, 2026 generated a $3,100,000 decrease in the warrant liability valuation. Despite our operating loss this quarter, the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities offset those losses, resulting in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, and as a result have an accumulated deficit of approximately $543,501,000$545,921,000 as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. We also expect to incur a net loss and negative cash flows from operations for the remainder of 2026. Working capital levels may not be sufficient to fund operations as currently planned through the next twelve months, absent a significant increase in revenue over historic revenue or additional financing. Given the above conditions, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these consolidated interim financial statements are issued.
Under the terms of the DECD Loan Agreement, we were eligible for forgiveness of $1,500,000 of the principal amount of the loan after achieving certain job creation and retention milestones. If we fail to maintain our Connecticut operations through March 22, 2026, the DECD may require early repayment of a portion or all of the loan plus a penalty of 5% of the total funded loan. For additional information, see Note 5 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements Commitments, Contingencies and Debt. If we choose to repay the loan early, it may be done at any time without premium or penalty. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the remaining balance outstanding under the DECD Loan Agreement is $1,218,000.$1,160,000.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we have sold 20,000 shares under the Lincoln Park Agreement and the value of the remaining availability under the Lincoln Park Agreement as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was $9,994,080.
The term loan is evidenced by a Subordinated Secured Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”), which was issued in the principal amount of $1,050,000, includes an interest rate of 42%, and is scheduled to mature on August 26, 2026. The Promissory Note is expressly subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness, as described in the Promissory Note. The Promissory Note is secured by a pledge on all assets. The collateral agent is authorized to take actions to perfect the security interests; however, the Subordinated Loan Agreement provides that a financing statement may be filed only upon an event of default. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the remaining balance outstanding under the Promissory Note iswas $775,000.$344,000.
On July 6, 2026, we entered into a second Subordinated Business Loan and security Agreement (the “Second Subordinated Loan Agreement”) with the same parties, which is evidenced by a Subordinated Secured Promissory Note (the “Second Promissory Note”) in the form attached to the Subordinated Loan Agreement. The Second Subordinated Loan Agreement was effective July 1, 2026. The Note was issued in the principal amount of $1,050,000, includes an interest rate of 42%, and settled the Promissory Note, which was secured in January. The Second Promissory Note is scheduled to mature on January 26, 2027. The Second Promissory Note is expressly subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness, as described in the Second Promissory Note. The Promissory Note is secured by a pledge on all assets. The collateral agent is authorized to take actions to perfect the security interests; however, the Subordinated Loan Agreement provides that a financing statement may be filed only upon an event of default.
On June 5, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors in a private placement (the “2026 Private Placement Offering”). Pursuant to the 2026 Private Placement Offering, we issued an aggregate of 3,133,333 shares of our common stock and accompanying warrants (the “June 2026 Warrants”) to purchase 4,230,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.45 per share and accompanying warrant. The June 2026 Warrants have an exercise price of $0.75 per share and are exercisable until their expiration on the third anniversary of the issuance date. The gross proceeds from the 2026 Private Placement Offering were approximately $1,410,000, before deducting issuance costs of approximately $58,000.
As mentioned, we have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, and we expect to continue to incur a net loss and negative cash flows from operations in 2026. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026 we had an accumulated deficit of $543,501,000$545,921,000 and stockholders’ deficit of $6,207,000.$7,256,000. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had $1,344,000$477,000 in cash and cash equivalents, $5,595,000$5,338,000 in current liabilities, and a working capital deficit of $1,810,000.$2,542,000. There can be no assurance that we will achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow from operations. While we expect to grow revenue through Aspira Labs, there is no assurance of our ability to generate substantial revenues and cash flows from Aspira Labs’ operations. We expect revenue from our products to be our only material, recurring source of cash for the remainder of 2026.
Net cash used in operating activities was $359,000$2,370,000 for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, resulting primarily from changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $3,110,000$2,625,000, net loss of $1,744,000 and changes in accounts receivable of $217,000,$278,000, offset by changes in other liabilities of $1,380,000, changes in accounts payable of $731,000,$1,516,000, netchanges incomein accrued liabilities of $676,000$287,000 and changes in prepaid assets of $120,000.$242,000.
