Co-Dx PCR Platform Development:
- Co-Diagnostics continue to advance their Co-Dx PCR platform towards initiating clinical evaluations, with significant progress on COVID-19, TB, 4-plex respiratory panel, and 8-plex HPV panel tests.

Financial Performance:
- Total revenue for Q1 2025 decreased to $0.1 million, compared to $0.5 million in the prior year.

Regulatory and Clinical Milestones:
- The company plans to submit its updated Co-Dx PCR COVID-19 test to the FDA with a 510(k) application post updated clinical data collection.
- The commencement of clinical evaluations for TB and HPV tests in India and South Africa is expected in the back half of 2025.

Operating Expenses and Cash Position:
- Total operating expenses for Q1 2025 decreased to $8.6 million from $10.5 million in Q1 2024, primarily due to lower research and development expenses.
