Lifeloc Technologies Secures $750,000 Financing to Support Growth and Innovation
Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. (OTC PINK:LCTC), a leading provider of portable breath alcohol testing devices and related solutions, today announced the successful closing of a $750,000 financing transaction through a subordinated debenture agreement with Diamond Bridge Capital, LP. The financing also includes a warrant granting Diamond Bridge Capital the right to purchase up to 62,500 shares of Lifeloc's common stock at a strike price of $4.50 per share.
The subordinated debenture carries an annual interest rate of 8.25% and matures on December 31, 2030. The proceeds will be used to support the Company's ongoing growth initiatives, fund research and development efforts, including commercialization of Lifeloc's SpinDx technology, and strengthen its financial position as it continues to innovate in the field of alcohol detection and drug screening technologies. The financing agreement also provides for registration rights, obligating the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC for the resale of the shares underlying the warrant issued to Diamond Bridge Capital. This demonstrates Lifeloc's commitment to transparency and its ongoing focus on creating value for shareholders.
"This financing marks an important step forward for Lifeloc as we expand our capabilities and build on our legacy of innovation," said Wayne Willkomm, CEO of Lifeloc Technologies. "The commitment from Diamond Bridge Capital reflects confidence in our business model and future growth prospects. With these funds, we intend to focus on bringing our SpinDx technology to market, expanding our industry-leading testing solutions into a new and growing market."
"At the beginning of the computer age, data was gathered and then sent to an outside service center for processing," said Vern Kornelsen, Lifeloc's Chief Financial Officer and largest individual shareholder. "Later, with the evolution of the personal computer, data was gathered and processed locally. We believe SpinDx™ will drive the same evolution in drug testing."
Under current industry practice, testing samples are collected and sent to an outside lab for analysis, with the results available a day later, sometimes several days later - at a usual cost of upwards of $100 - $300 per test. Lifeloc expects SpinDx™ to make it possible to collect a sample and get the results locally within minutes - at a cost expected to be in the range of $25 per test.
"There are efforts underway by others to capture this market," said Kornelsen. "However, SpinDx™ is unique in its ability to accurately and quickly process the sample and provide a quantitative result versus the very few devices available today."
Lifeloc's extensive in-house testing has confirmed that the technology "works." The reader's ability to produce accurate output using samples provided by Anschutz Medical Center has been demonstrated, with next steps being the achievement of entire analysis within the disk followed by the SpinDx™ reader's subsequent placement with several beta test sites where it will be further validated. The company also intends to reduce the current prototype reader's size by 25% to make it more market friendly. Initially, Lifeloc expects the analytical disk to be produced and supplied in small quantities by a large international microfluidics company. By the time the system is market ready, currently planned for Q4 of 2025, the Company plans to have acquired high volume automation equipment, and to have identified microfluidics-experienced personnel such that Lifeloc is able to produce the disk in quantity in house.
Lifeloc has prepared the following forward-looking financial projections, contemplating the potential effect of commercialization and market adoption of its SpinDx™ technology:

Lifeloc anticipates that its standing in the alcohol breathalyzer market will provide an edge in introducing the SpinDx™ drug detection product to the market. After commercialization of the initial SpinDx™ product, the company plans to begin teaming SpinDx™ with Lifeloc's alcohol breathalyzer, with the goal of developing a marijuana breathalyzer.
"The strategic funding we're receiving from Diamond Bridge Capital not only reinforces our financial stability but also enables us to stay at the forefront of technological advancements in safety and public health," Willkomm added. "We are excited about the opportunities this investment creates and look forward to driving value for all our stakeholders."
