Enzo Biochem, Inc.

Form 12b-25

Part IV – Other Information (3)

Form 10-Q for period ended January 31, 2023

In the Company's Form 10-Q for the three months ended October 31, 2022, filed on December 12, 2022, the Company reported a significant decline in revenues from COVID-19 testing and disclosed therein that COVID-19 testing was no longer a material part of the Company's testing business. As a result, the Company reported a significant unfavorable comparison in its immediate prior quarter ended October 31, 2022 versus the year ago period ended October 31, 2021.

The Company expects that there will be a significant unfavorable change in the results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2022. This unfavorable change is again primarily due to the substantial decline in COVID-19 testing revenues.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

Our disclosure and analysis in this Form 12b-25 contain forward-looking information about our Company's financial results and estimates, business prospects and products in research and development that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "project", "intend", "plan", "believe", "will", and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operations or financial performance.

In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, interest rates, foreign currency rates, intellectual property matters, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures we have taken in response, and financial results. We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. As a result, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements. We do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement that we make, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. We are also affected by other factors that may be identified from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, some of which are set forth in our Form 10-K filing for the July 31, 2022 fiscal year. You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we have attempted to provide a list of important factors which may affect our business, investors are cautioned that other factors may prove to be important in the future and could affect our operating results.

You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors or to assess the impact of each factor or combination of factors on our business. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
