In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods have been included in this Form 10-Q. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

The Company and Business Activities

Biocept, Inc. (“the Company”) was founded in California in May 1997 and is a commercial-stage cancer diagnostics company developing and commercializing proprietary circulating tumor cell (CTC) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) tests utilizing a standard blood sample to improve the treatment that oncologists provide to their patients by providing better, more detailed information on the characteristics of their tumor.

The Company operates a clinical laboratory that is CLIA-certified (under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment of 1988) and CAP-accredited (by the College of American Pathologists), and manufactures CEE microfluidic channels, related equipment and certain reagents to perform the Company’s diagnostic tests in a facility located in San Diego, California. CLIA certification and accreditation are required before any clinical laboratory may perform testing on human specimens for the purpose of obtaining information for the diagnosis, prevention, treatment of disease, or assessment of health. The tests the Company offers are classified as laboratory developed tests (LDTs), under the CLIA regulations.

In July 2013, the Company effected a reincorporation to Delaware by merging itself with and into Biocept, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which had been formed to be and was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company since July 23, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that requires netting unrecognized tax benefits against deferred tax assets for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of uncertain tax positions. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring share-based payments with a performance target which affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements or disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial

8

statements are issued. Certain additional financial statement disclosures are required if such conditions or events are identified. This guidance is effective for the annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and disclosures.

2. Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated February 4, 2014 between the Company and Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”), as representative of the several underwriters named therein, an IPO of 1,900,000 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share was effected on February 5, 2014. The closing of the sale of these shares to the underwriters occurred on February 10, 2014. The Company received, after deducting underwriting discounts and additional costs paid to the underwriters, approximately $17,390,000 of net cash proceeds from the sale of these 1,900,000 shares. The total increase in capital as a result of the sale of these shares was approximately $16,458,000 after deducting $932,136 of additional non-underwriter costs incurred that are netted against these proceeds under applicable accounting guidance. Additionally, the underwriters were granted a 45 day option from the closing date of the IPO to purchase up to 285,000 shares of common stock at $9.30 per share to cover overallotments with a grant date fair value of $202,143 (see Note 4), which was not exercised. In addition, designees of Aegis were issued warrants to buy (in the aggregate) up to 95,000 shares of common stock at $12.50 per share with a term of five years and a grant date fair value of $544,116 (see Note 4).

On February 4, 2014, as contemplated by the registration statement covering the IPO, 69,421,047 shares of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 1,652,851 shares of common stock and the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended to provide for an authorized capitalization of 40,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

In connection with the closing of the Company’s IPO on February 10, 2014, (i) the $1,400,000 principal amount and $233,982 of accrued interest related to the 2008 Convertible Note were converted at $10.00 per share into a total of 163,399 shares of common stock, (ii) the $5,165,000 principal amount and $313,017 of accrued interest related to the 2013 Convertible Bridge Notes were converted at $10.00 per share into a total of 547,794 shares of common stock, (iii) the exercise price of the warrants associated with the 2013 Bridge Notes was fixed at $10.00 per share for an aggregate 258,249 shares of common stock, (iv) the exercise price of the warrants associated with the $2,578,104 of collateral provided to secure the Company’s Line of Credit was fixed at $10.00 per share for an aggregate 128,903 shares of common stock, (v) 73,151 shares of common stock vested as settlement of certain restricted stock units (which were previously expressed in shares of preferred stock) and became issuable subsequent to the expiration of the 180 day lock-up period, (vi) the Company’s Executive Chairman ceased to be an employee and continues to serve as non-executive Chairman, (vii) the number of shares of common stock covered by the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan increased by 800,000, (viii) all but 1,587 of the preferred warrants previously outstanding were canceled due to early termination clauses associated with the IPO, (ix) derivative warrant liabilities of $2,475,620 associated with the aggregate of 387,152 common stock warrants related to the Company’s 2013 Convertible Bridge Notes and Line of Credit were reclassified to additional paid-in capital when their underlying exercise price was fixed, (x) unamortized discounts of $996,024 related to the warrants associated with the 2013 Convertible Bridge Notes and Line of Credit were reclassified to interest expense, and (xi) offering costs associated with the IPO of $932,136 were reclassified from prepaid expenses and other current assets to additional paid-in capital, while additional underwriter IPO costs and discounts of $279,760 and $1,330,000, respectively, were netted against the proceeds from the IPO and are reflected as an offset to additional paid-in capital.

Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the maximum amount of the Company’s Line of Credit was increased to approximately $2.6 million and common stock warrants were issued to four shareholders in conjunction with their guarantees on the Company’s additional borrowings under the line of credit. On February 10, 2014, the current outstanding balance under the line of credit of $2,346,000 plus accrued interest of $27,043 was paid in full using the net proceeds from the IPO.

On February 13, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the payment of an aggregate $1,009,552 in deferred salary obligations, including contractual interest, to current and former named executive officers pursuant to previously existing agreements, which was fully disbursed by April 2014 using the net proceeds from the IPO. An additional $344,883 in deferred salary obligations and interest thereon was paid to former employees other than named executive officers. Also on February 13, 2014, in connection with the closing of the IPO and pursuant to a Board resolution for a director compensation policy adopted in 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved annual cash retainers to non-employee directors, and granted 238,500 stock options under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to non-employee directors. These option awards vest in equal annual installments over 3 years from the date of grant with a 10 year term, subject to continuing service requirements (see Note 7). Subsequently in February 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved grants of 54,298 stock options as a result of the closing of the IPO pursuant to the terms of underlying employment agreements. Included in the stock options granted pursuant to the terms of underlying employment agreements are 53,108 option awards granted to the Company’s non-executive Chairman, which vested fully on the date of grant (see Note 7).

Under the terms of certain employment agreements with executive officers, the Company incurred additional cash compensation expense of $150,000 immediately, and $225,000 annually, upon the closing of its IPO. All payments required under these agreements

9

as a result of the closing of the Company’s IPO on February 10, 2014 have been subsequently made in February and March 2014, using the net proceeds from the IPO.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company repaid in full the remaining amounts outstanding of approximately $70,000 due for laboratory equipment under financing agreements with a supplier, which is a business owned by a member of the Company’s board of directors, using the net proceeds from the IPO.

3. Liquidity & Going Concern Uncertainty

These unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The factors below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

At December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the Company had accumulated deficits of approximately $122,421,000 and $134,405,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $3,860,000 and $11,985,000, respectively. While the Company is currently in the commercialization stage of operations, the Company has not yet achieved profitability and anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses in the foreseeable future.

Historically, the Company’s principal sources of cash have included proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred stock, proceeds from the issuance of debt, and revenues from clinical laboratory testing through contracted partners. The Company’s principal uses of cash have included cash used in operations, payments relating to purchases of property and equipment and repayments of borrowings. The Company expects that the principal uses of cash in the future will be for continuing operations, hiring of sales and marketing personnel and increased sales and marketing activities, funding of research and development, capital expenditures, and general working capital requirements. The Company expects that, as revenues grow, sales and marketing and research and development expenses will continue to grow, albeit at a slower rate and, as a result, the Company will need to generate significant net revenues to achieve and sustain income from operations.

As of September 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $8,820,000. On February 10, 2014, the Company received cash proceeds of approximately $17,390,000 as a result of the closing of its IPO, net of underwriting discounts and additional underwriting costs incurred (see Note 2). On April 30, 2014, the Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $4,927,000 pursuant to the execution of a term loan agreement with Oxford Finance LLC (see Note 6). Management expects that the Company will need additional financing in the future to execute on its current or future business strategies beyond the next six months. Until the Company can generate significant cash from operations, the Company expects to continue to fund its operations with the proceeds of offerings of the Company’s equity and debt securities. Management can provide no assurances that any sources of a sufficient amount of financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all. In addition to test revenues, such financing may be derived from one or more of the following types of transactions: debt, equity, product development, technology licensing or collaboration.

4. Fair Value Measurement

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the Company’s fair value measurements. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company believes the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

Warrant Liability Derivatives

The Company classified the fair value measurements of the Company’s warrant liability derivatives as Level 3 in all periods presented. The Company adjusted the carrying value of the warrants classified as liabilities until the completion of its IPO on February 10, 2014, at which time the exercise price was fixed at $10.00 per share and the fair value of the warrants was reclassified to shareholders’ deficit, except for a warrant for 1,587 preferred shares that remains outstanding at September 30, 2014 (see Note 2).

10

The aggregate fair value of the Company’s warrant liability at the closing of the IPO on February 10, 2014 was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions for the five-year term and two-year term common stock warrants, respectively:

The fair value attributed to such warrants as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 is as follows:

The following table includes a summary of changes in the fair value of the warrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2014:

Other Fair Value Measurements

In connection with the closing of the Company’s IPO on February 10, 2014, the IPO’s underwriters were granted a 45 day option to purchase up to 285,000 shares of common stock to cover overallotments with a grant date fair value of $202,143, which was not exercised. Additionally, certain designees of the representative of the underwriters were issued warrants to buy (in the aggregate) up to 95,000 shares of common stock with a grant date fair value of $544,116. The fair values of these stock option and common stock warrants were estimated using probability weighted Black-Scholes valuation models with the following assumptions:

The estimated grant date fair values of these non-cash equity classified instruments were recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital within common stock issuance costs.

11

In connection with the closing of the Company’s Credit Facility on April 30, 2014, the lender was granted a warrant to purchase 52,966 shares of common stock with a 10 year term and an estimated grant date fair value of $233,107 (see Note 6). The fair value of this warrant was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

The estimated grant date fair value of this non-cash equity classified instrument was recorded as a discount to outstanding debt and is amortized to interest expense utilizing the effective interest method over the underlying term of the loan.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s Credit Facility at September 30, 2014 approximated carrying value, which was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. The analysis considered interest rates of instruments with similar maturity dates, which involved the use of significant unobservable Level 3 inputs (see Note 6).

5. Balance Sheet Details

The following provides certain balance sheet details:

As of December 31, 2013, the Company incurred $538,318 in costs directly associated with its IPO, which are reflected on the unaudited condensed balance sheet as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets. As of September 30, 2014, a balance of $1,211,896 of such costs, in addition to underwriting discounts of $1,330,000 and an aggregate $746,259 of associated stock option and restricted stock awards, are offset against additional paid-in capital as a result of the closing of the Company’s IPO on February 10, 2014 (see Note 2).

6. Credit Facility

Effective as of April 30, 2014, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”) for working capital and general business purposes. The first term loan under the Credit Facility was funded on April 30, 2014 in a principal amount of $5.0 million. A second term loan of up to a principal amount of $5.0 million will be funded at the Company’s request prior to December 31, 2015, subject to the achievement of product and services revenues of at least $9.0 million for the trailing six month period by November 30, 2015. In connection with the first term loan under the Credit Facility, a facility fee of $50,000 was charged and an additional $50,000 facility fee will be due upon execution of the second term loan under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s

12

assets other than its intellectual property. Each term loan under the credit facility bears interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) 7.95% or (ii) the sum of (a) the three-month U.S. LIBOR rate reported in the Wall Street Journal three business days prior to the funding date of the applicable term loan, plus (b) 7.71%. The Company is required to make interest-only payments on the first term loan through February 1, 2016 if the funding date of the second term loan occurs before June 30, 2015, or through August 1, 2015 otherwise. If executed, interest-only payments are required to be made on the second term loan through February 1, 2016 if the funding date of the second term loan occurs before June 30, 2015, or through the seventh month following the funding date of the second term loan otherwise. The first term loan under the credit facility matures on July 1, 2018, and the second term loan matures on the first day of the 29th month following the end of the applicable interest-only period. Upon repayment of each term loan, the Company is also required to make a final payment equal to 5.50% of the original principal amount(s) funded. At the Company’s option, the outstanding principal balance of the term loans may be repaid in whole but not in part, subject to a prepayment fee of 3% of any amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or prior to April 30, 2015, 2% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs after April 30, 2015 but on or prior to April 30, 2016, and 1% of any amount prepaid after April 30, 2016. Additionally, a warrant to purchase up to 52,966 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.72 per share with a term of 10 years was issued to Oxford on April 30, 2014 (see Note 4). Additional warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock will be issued upon execution of the second term loan under the Credit Facility in an amount equal to 5.0% of the funded amount divided by the exercise price, which will be equal to the lower of (i) the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ on the date prior to the funding date of the second term loan or (ii) the ten-day average closing price per share prior to the funding date of the second term loan.

Issuance costs of $73,104 associated with the first term loan under the Credit Facility were deducted from the gross proceeds by the lender and were recorded as a discount to outstanding debt as of the closing date, resulting in net proceeds of $4,926,896. Other issuance costs of $28,932 directly related to the Credit Facility but not associated with the lender were recorded as a component of other non-current assets in the unaudited condensed balance sheet. The estimated fair value of the warrant issued of $233,107 was recorded as a discount to outstanding debt as of the closing date. The discounts and other issuance costs are amortized to interest expense utilizing the effective interest method over the underlying term of the loan. The total amount of interest expense recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the Credit Facility was $144,717 and $240,850, respectively. The Credit Facility bears an effective annual interest rate of 10.81% at both April 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014.

A summary of stock option activity for option awards granted under the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and 2013 Equity Incentive Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is as follows:

The intrinsic values of options outstanding and options vested and unvested expected to vest at September 30, 2014 were zero.

The fair values of option awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

13

Using the assumptions described above, with stock and exercise prices being equal on date of grant, the weighted-average estimated fair value of options granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $5.51 per share.

Further information about the options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2014 is as follows:

The intrinsic value of options exercisable at September 30, 2014 was zero.

Performance Stock Units

On June 12, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 44,496 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to its Chief Executive Officer pursuant to its 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Vesting of the RSU’s may occur based on the Company’s achievement of specified objectives as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, as follows:

The amount of compensation expense recognized is based on management’s estimate of the most likely outcome.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

The following table presents the effects of stock-based compensation related to equity awards to employees and nonemployees on the unaudited condensed statement of operations and comprehensive loss during the periods presented:

As of September 30, 2014, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock option and RSU awards, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was approximately $2,916,000 and $71,000, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years and 0.8 years, respectively.

8. Net Loss per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Because there is a net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock, RSUs, convertible debt, warrants, and common stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average shares used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

In November 2013, the Company effected a 1:14 reverse stock split of all common shares outstanding. The calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding has been adjusted for this reverse split as if it had occurred on January 1, 2013.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the periods presented, as they would be anti-dilutive:

9. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings or threatened legal proceedings. The Company is not party to any legal proceedings or aware of any threatened legal proceedings which are expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

15

The Company’s former Vice President of Operations filed an administrative proceeding against the Company with the California Labor Commissioner in April 2013, seeking damages for alleged unpaid wages and penalties. A hearing was held on August 19, 2013 which resulted in a finding against the Company for approximately $65,000, of which $40,000 was paid during the year ended December 31, 2013 and $25,000 was accrued as of December 31, 2013. On February 25, 2014, the aforementioned administrative proceeding filed with the California Labor Commissioner by the Company’s former Vice President of Operations was settled in full following payment of the remaining $25,000 due.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this Quarterly Report, as well as in our other filings with the SEC, in evaluating our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock may decline and you might lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks that we currently do not know about or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. Certain statements below are forward-looking statements. For additional information, see the information included under the heading “Important Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

We are an early-stage cancer diagnostics company that develops and commercializes proprietary circulating tumor cell, or CTC, and circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA, tests utilizing a standard blood sample. Our current CTC breast cancer test provides, and our planned future tests would provide, information to oncologists that enable them to select appropriate personalized treatment for their patients based on better, timelier and more-detailed data on the characteristics of their patients’ tumors.

Our current breast cancer test and our planned future tests utilize our Cell Enrichment and Extraction (CEE) technology for the enumeration and analysis of CTCs, and our CEE-Selector technology for the detection and analysis of ctDNA, each performed on a standard blood sample. The CEE technology is an internally developed, microfluidics-based CTC capture and analysis platform, with enabling features that change how CTC testing can be used by clinicians by providing real-time biomarker monitoring with only a standard blood sample. The CEE-Selector technology enables mutation detection with enhanced sensitivity and specificity and is applicable to nucleic acid from CTCs or other samples types, such as blood plasma for ctDNA. We believe the CEE-Selector technology is an important part of certain of our pipeline CTC tests and will be a stand-alone test for molecular analysis of biomarkers.

At our corporate headquarters facility located in San Diego, California, we operate a clinical laboratory that is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988, or CLIA, and accredited by the College of American Pathologists, or CAP. We manufacture our CEE microfluidic channels, related equipment and certain reagents to perform our current breast cancer test and our planned future tests at this facility. CLIA certification is required before any clinical laboratory, including ours, may perform testing on human specimens for the purpose of obtaining information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease or the assessment of health. The tests we offer and intend to offer are classified as laboratory developed tests, or LDTs, under CLIA regulations.

We are in the process of commercializing our first test, OncoCEE-BR, for breast cancer, and launched our OncoCEE-LU test for non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, in November of 2014. These tests utilize our CEE technology platform and provide CTC enumeration as well as biomarker analysis from a standard blood sample. In the case of the OncoCEE-BR test, biomarker analysis involves fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH, for the detection and quantitation of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, or HER2, gene copy number as well as immunocytochemical analysis of estrogen receptor protein, which is now launched. We plan to include immunocytochemical analysis of progesterone receptor proteins in the OncoCEE-BR test within the next year. A patient’s HER2 status provides the physician with information about the appropriateness of therapies such as Herceptin^® or Tykerb^®. Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status provides the physician with information about the appropriateness of endocrine therapies such as tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors.

The OncoCEE-LU test’s biomarker analysis currently includes FISH testing for ALK gene fusions. We plan to add FISH testing for ROS1 as well as mutation analysis for the epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR, gene, the K-ras gene and the B-raf gene in the future. The L858R mutation of the EGFR gene and Exon 19 deletions as activators of EGFR kinase activity are linked to the drugs Tarceva^®, Gilotrif^® and Iressa^®. The T790M mutation of the EGFR gene as a resistance marker for EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors is linked to drugs in clinical development that address this resistance. The codon 12 and 13 mutations of the K-ras gene are found in patients whose tumors are unlikely to respond to the EGFR kinase inhibitors such as Erbitux^® and Vectibix^®, and the codon 600 mutations of the B-raf gene are linked to Zelboraf^® and Tafinlar^®, which are both approved for melanoma and are in clinical trials for lung cancer. Our OncoCEE-LU test is performed on a standard blood sample.

17

We plan to add other biomarker analyses on blood samples to our current breast cancer test and our planned future OncoCEE tests as their relevance is demonstrated in clinical trials, for example, ret proto-oncogene gene fusions in NSCLC, which may indicate a particular course of therapy, and NRAS for melanoma, which may predict therapy resistance. In addition, we are developing a series of other CTC and ctDNA tests for different solid tumor types, including colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer and melanoma, each incorporating treatment-associated biomarker analyses specific to that cancer, planned to be launched as noted in the table below.

Our revenue generating efforts are focused in three areas:

18

We accessioned 96 commercial cases during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 10 commercial cases for the same period in 2013, an increase of 86 cases, or 860%. We accessioned 110 commercial cases during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 42 cases for the same period in 2013, an increase of 68 cases, or 162%. Revenues from commercial cases are recognized as collected. The expected collection period for the commercial cases accessioned during the three months ended September 30, 2014 extends beyond the end of the reporting period.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2014

The following table sets forth certain information concerning our results of operations for the periods shown:

Revenue

Revenues were approximately $10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $32,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $22,000, or 69%. The decrease was primarily related to lower Dana Farber Cancer Institute sample volume as the trial’s enrollment approaches completion, with three development services tests performed during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 48 during the same period in 2013. The average price collected per commercial test increased from $1,011 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to an average of $1,512 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and the average price per development services test was $400 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was approximately $538,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $619,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $81,000, or 13%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the proportion of lab volume that related to revenue-generating activities relative to the total number of samples processed for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, partially offset by increases in personnel and allocated facilities costs.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were approximately $1,311,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $975,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $336,000, or 34%. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $284,000 in validation samples and allocated costs related to the higher proportion of lab activities relating to product development, as well as increases of $229,000 in personnel costs primarily related to hiring additional development and lab personnel for new test validations and $73,000 in facilities, repairs and maintenance expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, partially offset by a decrease of $268,000 in stock-based compensation expense.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were approximately $1,061,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $807,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $254,000, or 31%. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $151,000 in insurance, legal, accounting, and consulting expenses as a result of becoming a publicly traded company in February 2014, an increase of $115,000 in personnel costs, and an increase of

19

$61,000 in legal fees associated with patents for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, partially offset by a decrease of $101,000 in stock-based compensation expense.  

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $812,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $5,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $807,000. The increase was primarily due to personnel-related expenses resulting from the deployment of our sales and marketing function. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the sales and marketing function included an average of 10 employees. We had no sales and marketing function during the three month period ended September 30, 2013.

Interest Income and Expense

Interest expense was approximately $151,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $457,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $306,000, or 67%. The decrease was due to a decrease of $400,000 in non-cash interest and discount amortization expense related to convertible notes payable that were converted into shares of common stock in conjunction with our initial public offering in February 2014, partially offset by an increase of $94,000 in cash interest expense primarily associated with the April 2014 Credit Facility.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The non-cash gain resulting from the change in the fair value of warrant liability of approximately $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared with the non-cash loss of approximately $8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 represents an increase in non-cash gain of $11,000, or 138%. The increase is due to a decline in the stock price underlying the warrants during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with an increase in the stock price underlying the warrants during the same period in 2013.

Income Taxes

Over the past several years we have generated operating losses in all jurisdictions in which we may be subject to income taxes. As a result, we have accumulated significant net operating losses and other deferred tax assets. Because of our history of losses and the uncertainty as to the realization of those deferred tax assets, a full valuation allowance has been recognized. We do not expect to report a provision for income taxes until we have a history of earnings, if ever, that would support the realization of our deferred tax assets.

We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since our formation, due to the complexity and cost associated with such a study, and the fact that there may be additional ownership changes in the future. We estimate that if such a change did occur, the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits that can be utilized in the future will be significantly limited.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2014

The following table sets forth certain information concerning our results of operations for the periods shown:

20

Revenue

Revenues were approximately $58,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $115,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $57,000, or 50%. The decrease was primarily related to lower Dana Farber Cancer Institute sample volume as the trial’s enrollment approaches completion, with 104 development services tests performed during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 212 during the same period in 2013. The average price collected per commercial test increased from $636 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to an average of $1,261 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and the average price per development services test was $400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was approximately $1,556,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $1,760,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $204,000, or 12%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the proportion of lab volume that related to revenue-generating activities relative to the total number of samples processed for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, partially offset by increases in personnel and allocated facilities costs.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were approximately $3,428,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $2,376,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $1,052,000, or 44%. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $518,000 in personnel expense primarily related to hiring additional development and lab personnel for new test validations and partially related to non-recurring compensation triggered by our initial public offering, an increase of $417,000 in validation samples and allocated costs related to the higher proportion of lab activities relating to product development, and an increase of $258,000 in facilities, repairs and maintenance costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, partially offset by a decrease of $147,000 in stock-based compensation expense.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were approximately $3,971,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $1,736,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $2,235,000, or 129%. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $923,000 in stock-based compensation expense, an increase of $754,000 in insurance, legal, accounting, and consulting expenses as a result of becoming a publicly traded company in February 2014, an increase of $313,000 in personnel expense primarily related to non-recurring compensation triggered by our initial public offering, and increases of $99,000 in legal fees associated with patents and $85,000 in general corporate expenses primarily related to taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $1,246,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $129,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $1,117,000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related expenses resulting from an expansion in sales and marketing headcount from an average of one for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to an average of six for the same period in 2014.

Interest Income and Expense

Interest expense was approximately $1,640,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with approximately $1,435,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $205,000, or 14%. The increase was due to an increase of $1,028,000 in non-cash amortization expense related to amortization and write-offs of discounts to convertible notes payable that were converted into shares of common stock in conjunction with our initial public offering in February 2014, as well as an increase of $187,000 in cash interest expense primarily associated with the April 2014 Credit Facility, partially offset by a decrease of $1,010,000 in non-cash interest expense related to the notes payable that were converted to common stock in February 2014.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The non-cash loss resulting from the change in the fair value of warrant liability of approximately $201,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with the non-cash gain of approximately $593,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 represents an increase in non-cash loss of $794,000, or 134%. The increase is due to a relative increase in the average price of the shares underlying warrants, as well as a greater number of average estimated warrants outstanding upon which the price of the shares underlying warrants is applied, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

21

Income Taxes

Over the past several years we have generated operating losses in all jurisdictions in which we may be subject to income taxes. As a result, we have accumulated significant net operating losses and other deferred tax assets. Because of our history of losses and the uncertainty as to the realization of those deferred tax assets, a full valuation allowance has been recognized. We do not expect to report a provision for income taxes until we have a history of earnings, if ever, that would support the realization of our deferred tax assets.

We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since our formation, due to the complexity and cost associated with such a study, and the fact that there may be additional ownership changes in the future. We estimate that if such a change did occur, the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits that can be utilized in the future will be significantly limited.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Our net cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods below were as follows:

Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $11,386,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $4,877,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. In all periods the primary use of cash was to fund our net loss. Additionally, an increase of $2,926,000 in cash used to fund operating assets and liabilities, primarily related to the payment of deferred salaries, interest and taxes thereon as well as initial public offering costs, was partially offset by an increase of $1,641,000 in non-cash operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013.

Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $202,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $1,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. In all periods the primary use of cash was to acquire fixed assets.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $20,338,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $4,996,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our primary source of financing in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of loans received from our major shareholder and members of our board of directors and their affiliates in exchange for convertible promissory notes and warrants, as well as proceeds from borrowings on our Line of Credit, and our primary sources of financing in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 consisted of proceeds from our initial public offering and borrowings on our credit facility and warrants.

Capital Resources and Expenditure Requirements

We expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses in the future. It may take several years to achieve positive operational cash flow or we may not ever achieve positive operational cash flow. We expect that we will use a portion of the net proceeds from our initial public offering and our revenues from operations to hire sales and marketing personnel, support increased sales and marketing activities, fund further research and development, clinical utility studies and future enhancements of our tests, acquire equipment, implement automation and scale our capabilities to prepare for significant test volume, for general corporate purposes and to fund ongoing operations and the expansion of our business, including the increased costs associated with being a public company. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds of our initial public offering to acquire or invest in businesses, technologies, services or products, although we do not have any current plans to do so.

As of September 30, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $8,820,000. While we currently are in the commercialization stage of operations, we have not yet achieved profitability and anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. On February 10, 2014, we received net cash proceeds of approximately $17,390,000 as a result of the

22

closing of our initial public offering, after deducting approximately $1,610,000 of underwriting discounts and additional underwriting costs incurred. On April 30, 2014, we received net cash proceeds of approximately $4,927,000 pursuant to the execution of a term loan agreement with Oxford Finance LLC. We expect that we will need additional financing in the future to execute on our current or future business strategies beyond the next six months. Until we can generate significant cash from operations, we expect to continue to fund operations with the proceeds of offerings of our equity and debt securities. We can provide no assurances that any sources of a sufficient amount of financing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. In addition to test revenues, such financing may be derived from one or more of the following types of transactions: debt, equity, product development, technology licensing or collaboration. If we are unable to raise a sufficient amount of financing in a timely manner, we would likely need to scale back our general and administrative activities and certain of our research and development activities. Our forecast pertaining to our current financial resources and the costs to support our general and administrative and research and development activities are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors, including:

We may raise additional capital to fund our current operations and to fund expansion of our business to meet our long-term business objectives through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, borrowings or strategic partnerships coupled with an investment in our company or a combination thereof. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of convertible debt securities, or other debt securities, these securities could be secured and could have rights senior to those of our common stock. In addition, any new debt incurred by us could impose covenants that restrict our operations. The issuance of any new equity securities will also dilute the interest of our current stockholders. Given the risks associated with our business, including our unprofitable operating history and our ability or inability to develop additional tests, additional capital may not be available when needed on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we will need to curb our expansion plans or limit our research and development activities, which would have a material adverse impact on our business prospects and results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

For a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical to our business operations and understanding of our results of operations, and that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, see Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

23

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

As of September 30, 2014, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2014. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, please see the information listed in the item captioned “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in the Form 10-K. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

None.

Use of Proceeds

Our initial public offering of common stock was effected through a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-191323), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2014. On February 4, 2014, additional shares of our common stock were registered through a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-193760) filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act. On February 10, 2014, a total of 1,900,000 shares of common stock were sold on our behalf at an initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $19 million, managed by Aegis Capital Corp. We paid to the underwriters underwriting discounts totaling approximately $1.3 million in connection with the offering. In addition, we incurred additional costs of approximately $1.2 million in connection with the offering, which when added to the underwriting discounts paid by us, amounts to total costs of approximately $2.5 million. Thus, the net offering proceeds to us, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $16.5 million. No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or persons owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates.

Upon receipt, the net proceeds from our IPO were invested in cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2014, we estimate that we had used approximately $8.6 million for the funding of commercialization of our OncoCEE-BR test, research and development and other operating activities, $2.5 million for repayments of indebtedness, and $2.3 million for payments of deferred salaries, interest, and taxes thereon as well as initial public offering costs. We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the IPO and other resources to fund commercialization of our current and future tests, further research and development, to acquire equipment, and to fund other general corporate purposes and the continued expansion of our business. The actual amounts and timing of our actual expenditures depend on numerous factors, including the success of our efforts to market OncoCEE-BR, the timing and progress of our research and development activities for the tests in our pipeline, the success of our efforts to increase sales of our laboratory services, changes in regulatory requirements for LDTs, and other unforeseen regulatory or compliance costs. The costs and timing of test development activities, particularly conducting clinical validation studies and obtaining regulatory clearance or approval, if required, are highly uncertain, subject to substantial risks and can often change. Depending on the outcome of these activities and other unforeseen events, our plans and priorities may change and we may apply the net proceeds from our IPO in different proportions than we currently anticipate.
