NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2019

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q as they are prescribed for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 28, 2019.

Certain 2018 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to 2019 presentations.

Description of Business

Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (“we,” “our,” the “Company” or “CDI”), a Utah corporation headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a molecular diagnostics company formed in April 2013 that develops, manufactures and markets a new, state-of-the-art diagnostics technology.

CDI’s diagnostics systems are designed to enable very rapid, low-cost, sophisticated molecular testing for organisms and genetic diseases by greatly automating historically complex procedures in both the development and administration of tests. CDI’s newest technical advance involves a novel approach to Polymerase Chain Reaction (“PCR”) primer design (CoPrimers™) that eliminates one of the key vexing issues of PCR amplification, the exponential growth of primer-dimer pairs which adversely interferes with identification of the target DNA. In addition, CDI scientists have enhanced the understanding of the mathematics of DNA test design, so as to “engineer” a DNA test and automate algorithms to screen millions of possible designs to optimize DNA test design. CDI’s proprietary platform of Co-Dx™ technologies integrates and streamlines these steps as it analyzes biological samples.

Co-Diagnostics’ portfolio of molecular diagnostics development products and tests represents a new advancement in the understanding of the molecular interactions of DNA. The Company uses highly specialized, proprietary cooperative-theory mathematics that may lead to a revolutionary leap forward in the detection of infectious diseases, genetic disorders and other conditions. CoDx™ tests are a fraction of the cost of other DNA-based tests, designed for a new generation of affordable, mobile point-of-care diagnostic devices and compatible with many other devices, creating opportunities for state-of-the-art diagnostics available anywhere in the world, including developing countries.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

The Company, an emerging growth company (“EGC”), has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period provided for in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards which allows the Company to defer adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

6

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to clarify guidance on the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This update was issued with the intent of reducing diversity in practice with respect to eight types of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for public EGC companies like us. The update did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842), which requires recognition of leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for annual periods and interim periods with those periods beginning after December 15, 2019, for public EGC companies like us. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. As the Company experienced net losses during the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively, no common stock equivalents have been included in the diluted earnings per common share calculations as the effect of such common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were 1,679,575 potentially dilutive shares consisting of; (i) 1,172,707 outstanding options, (ii) and 483,535 outstanding warrants and (iii) 23,333 for issued and outstanding convertible preferred stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were 1,028,969 potentially dilutive shares consisting of 322,707 outstanding options and 706,262 outstanding warrants.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates include receivables and other long-lived assets, legal and regulatory contingencies, income taxes, share based arrangements, and others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 – Equity

2019

On January 30, 2019, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with investors, whereby the investors purchased from the Company 30,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company for a purchase price of $3,000,000. The purchase price was paid by the investors with $1.0 million in cash and the conversion of a $2.0 million note owed by the Company to the investors. The investors may not convert the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the investors and their affiliates of more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

On February 4, 2019, we completed the sale of 3,925,716 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of $1.40 per share in a registered direct offering. The aggregate gross proceeds for the sale of the Common Shares was $5,496,002 and we received net proceeds of $4,903,238 after offering costs of $592,764.

On March 7, 2019, we issued 166,667 shares of our common stock to an individual who converted 2,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to common stock at a conversion price calculated by multiplying the number of preferred shares being converted by $100 and dividing the result by $1.20.

2018

In March 2018, the Company issued 9,225 shares of our common stock valued at $25,000 to a company for services rendered.

Note 4 – Notes Payable

On August 3, 2018, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Robert Salna, an existing shareholder of the Company and prior investor in the Company’s convertible debt securities. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Salna a Promissory Note, dated August 3, 2018, in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Note”) in exchange for a loan to the Company of equal principal amount.

On January 30, 2019, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with investors, whereby the investors purchased from the Company 30,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company for a purchase price of $3,000,000. The purchase price was paid by the investors with $1.0 million in cash and the conversion of a $2.0 million note owed by the Company to the investors. Upon conversion we recognized $78,241 as interest expense for the unamortized debt discount. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 we included $106,409 in interest expense of which $15,000 was for interest paid and $91,427 was for accretion of note discount.

Note 5 – Stock-based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plans

The Co-Diagnostics, Inc. 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan reserves an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares. The number of unissued stock options authorized under the plan at March 31, 2019 was 4,827,293.

Stock Options

There were no options granted in both the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 we recognized $87,794 of stock-based compensation expense, related to stock options, recorded in our general and administrative department for options vesting which were granted prior to January 1, 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, there was no stock-based compensation expense related to granted and unexercised stock options.

The following table summarizes option activity during the three months and year ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Warrants

The Company estimates the fair value of issued warrants on the date of issuance as determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company amortizes the fair value of issued warrants using a vesting schedule based on the terms and conditions of each warrant. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires various judgmental assumptions including the estimated volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected warrant term. In determining the expected volatility, our computation is based on the stock prices of three comparable companies and on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the warrant was issued with a maturity equal to the expected term of the warrant.

There were no warrants issued in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short term and long-term business operations, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this Quarterly Report, and in particular, the risks discussed below and under the heading “Risk Factors” in other documents we file with the SEC. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and notes incorporated by reference therein. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statement.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, each of which applies only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report to conform our statements to actual results or changed expectations.

You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports on Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K filed with the SEC. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors. Consequently, you should not consider this list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation:

● the results of clinical trials and the regulatory approval process;

● our ability to raise capital to fund continuing operations;

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our assumptions and estimates, including those related to recognition of revenue, valuation of investments, valuation of inventory, valuation of intangible assets, measurement of stock-based compensation expense and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

As an emerging growth company, we have elected to opt-in to the extended transition period for new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Executive Overview

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations describes the principal factors affecting the results of our operations, financial condition, and changes in financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited financial statements, and notes thereto, included elsewhere in this report. The information contained in this discussion is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We urge you to review carefully the section of this report entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” for a more complete discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with an investment in our securities.

Overview

Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (“Company,” or “CDI,”) is developing robust and innovative molecular tools for detection of infectious diseases, liquid biopsy for cancer screening, and agricultural applications.

Our diagnostics systems enable very rapid, low-cost, molecular testing for organisms and genetic diseases by automating historically complex procedures in both the development and administration of tests. CDI’s newest technical advance involves a novel approach to PCR test design (“CoPrimers”) that eliminates one of the key vexing issues of PCR amplification occurring especially in multiplexed transactions, which is the exponential growth of primer-dimer pairs (false positives and false negatives) adversely interfering with identification of the target DNA.

Our proprietary molecular diagnostics technology is paving the way for innovation in disease detection and life sciences research through our enhanced detection of genetic material. Because we own our platform, we are able to accomplish this faster and more economically, allowing for wider margins while still positioning Co-Diagnostics to be a low-cost provider of molecular diagnostics and screening services.

The Company, a Utah corporation, is a molecular diagnostics company that has developed and intends to manufacture and sell reagents used for diagnostic tests that function via the detection and/or analysis of nucleic acid molecules (DNA or RNA). In connection with the sale of our test products we may sell diagnostic equipment from other manufacturers as self-contained lab systems (which we refer to as the “MDx device”).

In addition, continued development has demonstrated the unique properties of our CoPrimer technology that make them ideally suited to a variety of applications where specificity is key to optimal results, including multiplexing several targets simultaneously, enhanced Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (“SNP”) detection and enrichment for next gen sequencing.

Our scientists were the first to understand the complex mathematics of DNA test design, to “engineer” primers and probes for DNA tests and to automate algorithms that rapidly screen millions of possible options to pinpoint the optimum design. Dr. Satterfield, our Chief Technology Officer, developed the Company’s intellectual property consisting of the predictive mathematical algorithms and proprietary reagents used in the testing process, which together represent a major advance in Polymerase Chain Reaction (“PCR”) testing systems. CDI technologies are now protected by seven granted or pending US patents, as well as certain trade secrets and copyrights.

We may either sell or lease our portable labs to existing diagnostic centers, through sale or lease agreements, and sell the reagents that comprise our proprietary test products to those laboratories and testing facilities.

Agreement with Synbiotics

The Company has entered into a joint venture agreement to manufacture diagnostics tests for seven infectious diseases with Synbiotics Limited, a pharmaceutical manufacturing company in India. The Company and Synbiotics shall be equal partners in the joint venture. The agreement provides for the manufacture of the tests named above and the joint sales and marketing of those tests in India. The Company will license its technology to the joint venture on a royalty-free basis. The profits from the partnership shall be divided as follows:

Profit Level	CDI Share			Synbiotics Share
Up to $1,000,000		50	%		50	%
$1,000,000-$2,000,000		60	%		40	%
$2,000,000-$3,000,000		70	%		30	%
Above $3,000,000		80	%		20	%

13

Synbiotics will be reimbursed by the joint venture for some expenses, such as approximately $96,000 in rent for the manufacturing plant and office space. If the joint venture needs additional funding, it will be achieved through loans obtained by the joint venture, or if loans are not available on commercially reasonable terms, from capital contributions. There is no term to the joint venture agreement but it can be dissolved by mutual agreement or by one party upon a material breach by the other party. The manufacturing plant is completed and is scheduled to be ready for production in the third quarter of 2019. We have submitted technical files describing seven difference diagnostic tests to the Indian regulatory bodies requesting approval for those tests to be manufactured in our plant and sold in the Indian market. We have received test licenses for various certain diseases allowing us to sell test products for research. The joint venture is currently marketing our products in the Indian market and sold approximately $56,000 of our probes and primers in the three months ended March 31, 2019 to various laboratories and other users to be used as Research Use Only tests in their facilities, which we anticipate will be the beginning of sales of our products in India.

Intellectual Property Protection

Because much of our future success and value depends on our proprietary technology, our patent and intellectual property strategy is of critical importance. Four of our initial U.S. patents related to our technology have been granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or PTO, including the patent for our CoPrimer technology, which we consider our most important patent. One of our patents has been issued in Great Britain, but is still pending in the United States. As of May 13, 2019, we had four additional patents pending in the U.S. and foreign counterpart applications. Two of our issued patents expire in 2034, one in 2036 and one in 2038.

We have identified additional applications of the technology, which represent potential patents that further define specific applications of the processes that are covered by the original patents. We intend to continue building our intellectual property portfolio as development continues and resources are available.

We have copyrighted our development software that can be used by any lab or developer to develop diagnostic tests based on our technology. We have allowed one potential customer access to our development software and intend to sell customized reagents through that customer to labs serviced by that customer throughout the world. To date we have not sold any products to that customer.

Major Customers

We currently have no major customers.

Competition

The molecular diagnostics industry is extremely competitive. There are many firms that provide some or all of the products we provide and provide many diagnostic tests that we have yet to develop. Many of these competitors are larger than us and have significantly greater financial resources. Because we are not established, many of our competitors have a competitive advantage in the diagnostic testing industry because they also have other lines of business in the pharmaceutical industry from which they derive revenues and for which they are well known and respected in the medical profession. We will need to overcome the disadvantage of being a start up with no history of success and no respect of the medical and testing professionals. In the diagnostic testing industry, we compete with such companies as BioMerieux, Siemans, Qiagen, and Cephied and with such pharmaceutical companies as Abbott Laboratories, Becton, Dickinson and Johnson and Johnson.

Many of these competitors already have an established customer base with industry standard technology, which we must overcome to be successful.

14

Employees

We currently employ 20 full-time personnel at our executive offices and lab facilities in Salt Lake City, Utah, and two employees outside of Utah. We have engaged independent contractors in India to promote the use of our products and develop outlets for products and employ the services of independent sales representatives on an “as needed” basis.

Government Regulation

We will be regulated by the U.S. Federal Drug Administration and our products must be approved by the FDA before we will be allowed to sell our tests in the United States. Because our lab is ISO certified we are allowed to apply for CE-Marking, which will allow us to sell in most countries in Europe, South America and Asia. We currently have CE Marks issued for our tuberculosis test, our zika virus test, and a triplex test that tests for zika, dengue, and chikungunya simultaneously.

Organizational History and Corporate Information

We were incorporated as Co-Diagnostics, Inc. in Utah on April 18, 2013. Our principal executive office is located at 2401 S. Foothill Drive, Suite D, Salt Lake City, Utah 84109. Our telephone number is (801) 438-1036. Our website address is http://codiagnostics.com

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the Three Months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 we generated $3,400 of revenues compared to revenues of $9,696 in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The revenue in 2018 represented a license fee for licensing our Zika tests and certain other Flaviviruses for limited distribution to a Canadian company, which license was subsequently acquired by the company. The revenues in 2019 represented sales of our testing products.

Cost of Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 we recorded costs of revenues of $452 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded no costs of revenues.

Expenses

We incurred total operating expenses of $1,257,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to total operating expenses of $1,287,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease of $29,687 was due primarily to decreased general and administrative costs partially offset by increased sales and marketing costs. There was a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $241,683 and an increase in sales and marketing costs of $160,840, and an increase of $49,891 in our research and development expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased $241,683 from $882,046 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $640,363 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $376,718 in independent consulting expenses, which was partially offset by an increase of $87,795 in option and warrant expenses, an increase of $26,357 in salaries and related benefits and an increase of $29,129 in insurance expense.

Our sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $256,103 compared to sales and marketing expenses of $95,263 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase of $160,840 is due primarily to an increases of $63,376 in salary and related benefits expense, an increase of $44,366 in travel and meals and an increase of $39,754 in consulting fees.

Our research and development expenses increased by $49,891 from $297,415 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $347,306 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $54,693 in payroll and employee related expenses, an increase of $51,619 in lab supplies used partially offset by a decrease of $57,514 in other professional services and a decrease in consulting fees of $16,676.

15

Other Income/expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred interest expense of $28,186 compared to no interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase of $28,186 was the result of having a $2,000,000 loan outstanding during the month of January 2019. In addition, we incurred a loss of $78,241 on extinguishment of debt incident to the payoff of the loan referenced herein.

Net Loss

We realized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $1,368,389 compared with a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $1,310,233. Of the increase in net loss of $58,156, $29,687 was the result of the increased operating expenses explained above, $78,241 resulted from a loss on extinguishment of debt and $28,186 of interest expense partially offset by a decrease of $31,636 in the loss on investment related to our joint venture.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

To date we have financed our operations through sales of common stock and the issuance of debt.

At December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $950,237, total current assets of $1,051,913, total current liabilities of $2,351,983 and total stockholders’ deficit of $1,058,811. At March 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5,412,593, total current assets of $5,577,130, total current liabilities of $337,511 and total stockholders’ equity of $5,563,832.

On January 30, 2019, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with investors, whereby the investors purchased from the Company 30,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company for a purchase price of $3,000,000. The purchase price was paid by the investors with $1.0 million in cash and the conversion of a $2.0 million note owed by the Company to the investors. The investors may not convert the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the investors and their affiliates of more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

On February 4, 2019, we completed the sale of 3,925,716 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of $1.40 per share in a registered direct offering. The aggregate gross proceeds for the sale of the Common Shares was $5,496,002 and we received net proceeds after offering costs of $4,903,238 after offering costs of $592,764.

We experienced negative cash flow used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $1,368,882 compared to negative cash flow used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $968,524. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we received net cash from financing activities of $5,903,238 and $0 as described above and used $72,000 and $15,000, respectively of our cash in contributions to our joint venture in India. The negative cash flow in the quarter was met by cash reserves from the issuances of common stock incident to the completion of registered direct offering in February and the issuance of preferred stock in January. The amount of our operating deficit could decrease or increase significantly depending on strategic and other operating decisions, thereby affecting our need for additional capital. We expect our operating losses will continue until we are able to generate material revenue. Until our operations become profitable, we will continue to rely on proceeds received from our offerings of stock. In August 2018 we filed a shelf registration of our securities with the SEC and in September 2018 it was declared effective. In February 2019 we completed the registered direct offering described above pursuant to that registration. We expect additional investment capital to come from (i) additional issuances of our common stock pursuant to our S-3 shelf registration with existing and new investors and (ii) the private placement of other securities with investors similar to those that have provided funding in the past.

16

Our monthly cash operating expenses, including our technology research and development expenses and interest expense, were approximately $407,000 per month during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The foregoing estimates, expectations and forward-looking statements are subject to change as we make strategic operating decisions from time to time and as our expenses fluctuate from period to period.

The amount of our operating deficit could decrease or increase significantly depending on strategic and other operating decisions, thereby affecting our need for additional capital. We expect our operating losses will continue until we are able to generate revenue. Revenue has commenced in 2019 and our need for additional investment will depend on the amount of revenue generated. At our current level of operating expenditures, we have sufficient cash to fund operations for the next twelve months.

Our long-term liquidity is dependent upon execution of our business model and the commencement of revenue generating activities and working capital as described above, and upon capital needed for continued commercialization and development of our diagnostic testing technology. Commercialization and future development of diagnostic tests utilizing our PCR technology are expected to require additional capital estimated to be approximately $850,000 annually for the foreseeable future. This estimate will increase or decrease depending on specific opportunities and available funding.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the SEC.

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to assess the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In performing its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, management applied the criteria described in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO - 2013”).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness identified during management’s assessment was the lack of sufficient technical expertise on certain accounting and tax requirements for new and unusual transactions. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement of accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the Company’s interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness. The Company has hired, in the second quarter of 2019, consultants with the necessary technical accounting expertise to improve the Company’s accounting processes and internal control program. The Company has unconsolidated foreign subsidiaries over which it does not exercise any financial reporting control.

Because of the material weakness, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019, based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO -2013.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company’s last three-month period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company has hired an independent consulting company to render a report on the Company’s internal control systems and provide recommendations for improving our internal control given the size of the Company’s accounting staff.

Basis of Presentation

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q as they are prescribed for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 28, 2019.

Certain 2018 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to 2019 presentations.

Description of Business

Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (“we,” “our,” the “Company” or “CDI”), a Utah corporation headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a molecular diagnostics company formed in April 2013 that develops, manufactures and markets a new, state-of-the-art diagnostics technology.

CDI’s diagnostics systems are designed to enable very rapid, low-cost, sophisticated molecular testing for organisms and genetic diseases by greatly automating historically complex procedures in both the development and administration of tests. CDI’s newest technical advance involves a novel approach to Polymerase Chain Reaction (“PCR”) primer design (CoPrimers™) that eliminates one of the key vexing issues of PCR amplification, the exponential growth of primer-dimer pairs which adversely interferes with identification of the target DNA. In addition, CDI scientists have enhanced the understanding of the mathematics of DNA test design, so as to “engineer” a DNA test and automate algorithms to screen millions of possible designs to optimize DNA test design. CDI’s proprietary platform of Co-Dx™ technologies integrates and streamlines these steps as it analyzes biological samples.

Co-Diagnostics’ portfolio of molecular diagnostics development products and tests represents a new advancement in the understanding of the molecular interactions of DNA. The Company uses highly specialized, proprietary cooperative-theory mathematics that may lead to a revolutionary leap forward in the detection of infectious diseases, genetic disorders and other conditions. CoDx™ tests are a fraction of the cost of other DNA-based tests, designed for a new generation of affordable, mobile point-of-care diagnostic devices and compatible with many other devices, creating opportunities for state-of-the-art diagnostics available anywhere in the world, including developing countries.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

The Company, an emerging growth company (“EGC”), has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period provided for in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards which allows the Company to defer adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to clarify guidance on the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This update was issued with the intent of reducing diversity in practice with respect to eight types of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for public EGC companies like us. The update did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842), which requires recognition of leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for annual periods and interim periods with those periods beginning after December 15, 2019, for public EGC companies like us. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. As the Company experienced net losses during the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively, no common stock equivalents have been included in the diluted earnings per common share calculations as the effect of such common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were 1,679,575 potentially dilutive shares consisting of; (i) 1,172,707 outstanding options, (ii) and 483,535 outstanding warrants and (iii) 23,333 for issued and outstanding convertible preferred stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were 1,028,969 potentially dilutive shares consisting of 322,707 outstanding options and 706,262 outstanding warrants.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates include receivables and other long-lived assets, legal and regulatory contingencies, income taxes, share based arrangements, and others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates.

2019

On January 30, 2019, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with investors, whereby the investors purchased from the Company 30,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company for a purchase price of $3,000,000. The purchase price was paid by the investors with $1.0 million in cash and the conversion of a $2.0 million note owed by the Company to the investors. The investors may not convert the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the investors and their affiliates of more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

On February 4, 2019, we completed the sale of 3,925,716 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of $1.40 per share in a registered direct offering. The aggregate gross proceeds for the sale of the Common Shares was $5,496,002 and we received net proceeds of $4,903,238 after offering costs of $592,764.

On March 7, 2019, we issued 166,667 shares of our common stock to an individual who converted 2,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to common stock at a conversion price calculated by multiplying the number of preferred shares being converted by $100 and dividing the result by $1.20.

2018

In March 2018, the Company issued 9,225 shares of our common stock valued at $25,000 to a company for services rendered.

Warrants

The Company estimates the fair value of issued warrants on the date of issuance as determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company amortizes the fair value of issued warrants using a vesting schedule based on the terms and conditions of each warrant. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires various judgmental assumptions including the estimated volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected warrant term. In determining the expected volatility, our computation is based on the stock prices of three comparable companies and on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the warrant was issued with a maturity equal to the expected term of the warrant.

There were no warrants issued in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

The following table summarizes warrant activity during the three months and year ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. As the Company experienced net losses during the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively, no common stock equivalents have been included in the diluted earnings per common share calculations as the effect of such common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were 1,679,575 potentially dilutive shares consisting of; (i) 1,172,707 outstanding options, (ii) and 483,535 outstanding warrants and (iii) 23,333 for issued and outstanding convertible preferred stock.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates include receivables and other long-lived assets, legal and regulatory contingencies, income taxes, share based arrangements, and others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates.
