| ● | In June 2026, bioAffinity completed a public offering that generated approximately $3.2 million in gross proceeds to support commercialization activities, clinical development, and general corporate purposes. |
Management Commentary
“Our commercial strategy continues to gain significant traction as physicians increasingly recognize the clinical value of CyPath Lung for evaluating patients at high risk for lung cancer and surveilling lung cancer survivors for recurrence,” said Maria Zannes, President and Chief Executive Officer of bioAffinity Technologies. “During the second quarter, CyPath Lung test volume surged 216% year-over-year. This growth reflects accelerating physician adoption and clinical confidence in our technology. As more clinics integrate CyPath Lung into their standard of care workflows, peer-to-peer education is a powerful driving force behind building broader awareness of the test’s ability to provide objective data that complements traditional imaging and supports faster, more informed clinical decisions.”
Ms. Zannes continued, “Alongside our commercial momentum, we achieved critical milestones across our strategic roadmap. In the second quarter, we expanded physician education initiatives, including scientific presentations, webinars, podcasts and real-world clinical case studies. We continued to make progress in our large-scale longitudinal study that includes VA and military medical centers, expanding our outreach to veterans. By leveraging our expertise in flow cytometry and AI and our work with siRNAs, we are building a robust pipeline of precision diagnostics for the large asthma and COPD markets and even larger therapeutic markets for topically delivered drugs that treat squamous and basal cell skin cancers.”

Ms. Zannes concluded, “Looking ahead, our priorities for the second half of 2026 are expanding physician adoption, increasing utilization among existing customers, and introducing CyPath Lung to new healthcare systems and specialty practices, including oncology. The positive results we see from research and development of precision diagnostics and a therapeutic for skin cancers are exciting as we advance our pipeline. We believe this balanced approach positions bioAffinity to create lasting value for patients, healthcare providers and shareholders.”
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $1.5 million, a 19% increase from the $1.3 million reported for the same period in 2025. The increase is primarily due to an increase in sales of CyPath Lung.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $4.8 million, compared with $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2025.
| ● | Direct costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $1.1 million, compared to $1 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher CyPath Lung test volume. | |
| ● | Research and development expenses increased 16% year-over-year to $362,000, driven by laboratory supply purchases and costs associated with relocating the research and development lab from the University of Texas at San Antonio to the Precision Pathology Laboratory services campus. | |
| ● | Clinical development expenses rose to $476,000 from $129,000 in the second quarter of 2025 due to costs associated with initiating the longitudinal clinical study. | |
| ● | Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, up from $2.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher employee compensation, reflecting the addition of sales and administrative personnel to support the expanding commercialization of CyPath Lung. |
Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $3.4 million, compared with a net loss of $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, were $2.4 million, compared with $6.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

About CyPath Lung
CyPath Lung by bioAffinity Technologies is a noninvasive test designed to improve the early detection of lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease. CyPath Lung uses advanced flow cytometry and proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) to identify cell populations in patient sputum that indicate malignancy. CyPath Lung incorporates a fluorescent porphyrin that is preferentially taken up by cancer and cancer-related cells. In a published clinical trial of high-risk patients, CyPath Lung demonstrated 92% sensitivity, 87% specificity, 88% accuracy and 99% negative predictive value (NPV) in detecting lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease who had small indeterminate lung nodules less than 20 millimeters. The high NPV gives physicians greater confidence that a negative result is truly negative, potentially sparing patients from unnecessary invasive and costly procedures. CyPath Lung is marketed as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) and is not intended for use as a sole diagnostic tool and should be considered alongside other clinical findings.
