FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
The
information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking
statements” relating to NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (referred to
individually as the “Parent Company” or collectively with all of its
subsidiaries as “NeoGenomics” or the “Company”), within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. These
“forward looking statements” represent the Company’s current expectations or
beliefs including, but not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s
operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any
statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical
fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “would” or the negative or other
comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements,
although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties,
such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel, variability
of quarterly results, competition and the ability of the Company to continue its
growth strategy, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should one
or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially
from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.
Any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is
made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking
statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on
which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for
management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each
such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
any forward-looking statements.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS
OF JUNE 30, 2010
NOTE A — NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Nature of
Business
NeoGenomics,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Parent”), and its subsidiary, NeoGenomics
Laboratories, Inc., a Florida corporation (“NEO”, “NeoGenomics Laboratories” or
the “Subsidiary”) (collectively referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”, “NeoGenomics”,
or the “Company”), operates as a certified “high complexity” clinical laboratory
in accordance with the federal government’s Clinical Laboratory Improvement
Amendments of 1988 (“CLIA”), and is dedicated to the delivery of clinical
diagnostic services to pathologists, oncologists, urologists, hospitals, and
other laboratories throughout the United States.
Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Parent and the Subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and
include all adjustments, in the opinion of management, which are necessary to
make the financial statements not misleading. Except as otherwise disclosed, all
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The
interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Therefore, the
interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
contained in the Company’s annual report.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The most
significant estimates in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements relate to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and
stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s (the “Commission”) Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13.A.1 (ASC
605-10-S99-1) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”, when (a) the price is fixed or
determinable, (b) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (c) the service
is performed and (d) collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably
assured.
The
Company’s specialized diagnostic services are performed based on a written test
requisition form and revenues are recognized once the diagnostic services have
been performed, the results have been delivered to the ordering physician, the
payor has been identified and eligibility and insurance have been
verified. These diagnostic services are billed to various payors,
including Medicare, commercial insurance companies, other directly billed
healthcare institutions such as hospitals and clinics, and
individuals. The Company reports revenues from contracted payors,
including Medicare, certain insurance companies and certain healthcare
institutions, based on the contractual rate, or in the case of Medicare,
published fee schedules. The Company reports revenues from
non-contracted payors, including certain insurance companies and individuals,
based on the amount expected to be collected. The difference between
the amount billed and the amount expected to be collected from non-contracted
payors is recorded as a contractual allowance to arrive at the reported
revenues. The expected revenues from non-contracted payors are based
on the historical collection experience of each payor or payor group, as
appropriate. In each reporting period, the Company reviews its
historical collection experience for non-contracted payors and adjusts its
expected revenues for current and subsequent periods accordingly. As
a result of the economic climate in the United States, we have used shorter and
more current time horizons in analyzing historical experience.
7
Accounts Receivable and
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts
receivable are reported at realizable value, net of an allowance for doubtful
accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the same period the related revenue
is recorded based on the historical collection experience for each type of
payor. In addition, the allowance is adjusted periodically, based
upon an evaluation of historical collection experience with specific payors,
payor types, and other relevant factors, including regularly assessing the state
of our billing operations in order to identify issues which may impact the
collectability of receivables or allowance estimates. Revisions to
the allowance are recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense within general
and administrative expenses. After appropriate collection efforts
have been exhausted, specific receivables deemed to be uncollectible are charged
against the allowance in the period they are deemed
uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written-off are
recorded as credits to the allowance.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic
718 Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires recognizing
compensation costs for all share-based payment awards made to employees and
directors based upon the awards’ grant-date fair value. The standard
covers employee stock options, restricted stock, and other equity
awards.
For stock
options, the Company uses a trinomial lattice option-pricing model to estimate
the grant-date fair value of stock option awards, and recognizes compensation
cost on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting periods. The
Company estimates an expected forfeiture rate, which is factored into the
determination of the Company’s periodic expense.
Research and
Development
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development
expenses consist of compensation and benefits for research and development
personnel, license fees, related supplies, inventory and payment for samples to
complete validation studies. These expenses were incurred to develop
our melanoma test and to develop other new molecular tests.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common
Share
We
compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260,
Earnings per Share. Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net income (loss) per
share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net
income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding, using the treasury stock method, during the
period. Equivalent shares consist of employee stock options and certain warrants
issued to consultants and other providers of financing to the Company that are
in-the-money based on the weighted average closing share price for the period.
Under the treasury stock method, the number of in-the-money shares that are
considered outstanding for this calculation is reduced by the number of common
shares that theoretically could have been re-purchased by the Company with the
aggregate exercise proceeds of such warrant and option exercises if such shares
were re-purchased at the weighted average market price for the
period.
There
were no common equivalent shares included in the calculation of diluted earnings
per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 because the
Company had a net loss for such periods and therefore such common equivalent
shares were anti-dilutive. Common equivalent shares
outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 using the treasury
stock method, includes approximately 3.4 and 3.0 million equivalent shares,
respectively, for unexercised warrants and approximately 2.0 million and 1.2
million shares, respectively, for unexercised stock options, and these were
included in the earnings per share calculation.
8
NOTE B — REVOLVING CREDIT AND
SECURITY AGREEMENT
On
February 1, 2008, our subsidiary, NeoGenomics Laboratories, Inc., a Florida
corporation (“Borrower”), entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement
(the “Credit Facility” or “Credit Agreement”) with CapitalSource, the terms of
which provide for borrowings based on eligible accounts receivable up to a
maximum borrowing of $3.0 million, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Subject
to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, CapitalSource shall make advances to
us from time to time during the three year term, and the Credit Facility may be
drawn, repaid and redrawn from time to time as permitted under the Credit
Agreement.
To secure
the payment and performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit
Agreement), we granted CapitalSource a continuing security interest in and lien
upon, all of our rights, title and interest in and to our Accounts (as defined
in the Credit Agreement), which primarily consist of accounts receivable and
cash balances held in lock box accounts. Furthermore, pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, the Parent guaranteed the punctual payment when due, whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the Obligations. The
Parent guaranty is a continuing guarantee and shall remain in force and effect
until the indefeasible cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) and all other amounts payable under the Credit
Agreement are made.
On April
26, 2010, the Parent Company, NeoGenomics Laboratories, Inc., the wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Parent Company (“Borrower”), and CapitalSource entered into an
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement amended and restated the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated
February 1, 2008, as amended, among the Parent Company, Borrower and
CapitalSource (the “Original Credit Agreement”). The terms of the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Original Credit Agreement are
substantially similar except that the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
among other things, (i) increases the maximum principal amount of the revolving
credit facility from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, (ii) provides that the term of
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall end on February 1,
2013, (iii) increases the amount of the collateral management fee and
unused line fees paid by Borrower to CapitalSource, (iv) modifies the
definitions of “Minimum Termination Fee” and “Permitted Indebtedness”, (v)
provides that the Borrower must maintain a minimum outstanding principal balance
under the revolving facility of at least $2,000,000, (vi) decreases the interest
rate to LIBOR plus 4.25% (provided that LIBOR shall not be less than 2.0%) and
(vii) revises certain covenants and representations and
warranties. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also made
permanent a previously enacted temporary change to the methodology for
calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant, which permits us to add
amounts of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and unused availability under
the Credit Facility to Adjusted EBITDA for the purposes of calculating this
covenant. Borrower paid CapitalSource a commitment fee of $33,500 in
connection with the execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
(CapitalSource credited $25,000 of an amendment fee previously paid by the
Borrower towards the commitment fee).
On June
30, 2010, we had an outstanding amount due on the Credit Facility of
approximately $2.96 million and the available credit under the Credit Facility
was approximately $627,000.
NOTE C — COMMON STOCK PURCHASE
AGREEMENT
On
November 5, 2008, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Stock
Agreement”) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, an Illinois limited liability
company (“Fusion”). The Stock Agreement, which has a term of 30 months, provides
for the future funding of up to $8.0 million from sales of our common stock to
Fusion on a when and if needed basis as determined by us in our sole discretion.
In consideration for entering into this Stock Agreement, on October 10, 2008, we
issued to Fusion 17,500 shares of our common stock (valued at $14,700 on the
date of issuance) and paid $17,500 as a due diligence expense reimbursement. In
addition, on November 5, 2008, we issued to Fusion 400,000 shares of our common
stock (valued at $288,000 on the date of issuance) as a commitment fee.
Concurrently with entering into the Stock Agreement, we entered into a
registration rights agreement with Fusion. Under the registration rights
agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the
417,500 shares that have already been issued to Fusion and at least 3.0 million
shares that may be issued to Fusion under the Stock Agreement. Presently, we
expect to sell no more than the initial 3.0 million shares to Fusion during the
term of this Stock Agreement. The Company filed a registration statement on Form
S-1 on November 28, 2008 and on February 5, 2009 the registration statement
became effective and on May 7, 2010, we filed Post Effective Amendment No 2 to
the registration statement which became effective on May 19, 2010.
Under the
Stock Agreement we have the right to sell to Fusion shares of our common stock
from time to time in amounts between $50,000 and $1.0 million, depending on the
market price of our common stock. The purchase price of the shares related to
any future funding under the Stock Agreement will be based on the prevailing
market prices of our stock at the time of such sales without any fixed discount,
and the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares to
Fusion. Fusion shall not have the right or the obligation to purchase any shares
of our common stock on any business day that the price of our common stock is
below $0.45 per share. The Stock Agreement may be terminated by us at any time
at our discretion without any cost to us. There are no negative covenants,
restrictions on future funding from other sources, penalties, further fees or
liquidated damages in the agreement.
9
Given our
current liquidity position from cash on hand and our availability under our
Credit Facility with CapitalSource, we have no immediate plans to issue common
stock under the Stock Agreement. If and when we do elect to sell shares to
Fusion under this agreement, we expect to do so opportunistically and only under
conditions deemed favorable by the Company. Any proceeds received by the Company
from sales under the Stock Agreement will be used for general corporate

NOTE
D — CAPITAL LEASE TRANSACTIONS
SunTrust Lease
Agreement
On
October 28, 2009, we and SunTrust Equipment Finance & Leasing Corp.
(“SunTrust”), entered into an equipment lease agreement (the “SunTrust Lease”).
The SunTrust Lease established the general terms and conditions pursuant to
which the Subsidiary could lease up to $1.5 million in equipment and other
property.
On April
13, 2010, the Company entered into Lease Schedule No. 3 of the SunTrust Lease
for approximately $249,000 which was funded to several vendors for lab equipment
and computer hardware. Lease Schedule No. 3 has a term of 60 months
with monthly payments of approximately $4,900 and a $1 final purchase payment at
termination. Lease Schedule No. 3 is being accounted for as a capital
lease.
On April
28, 2010 the lease agreement expired and we had only drawn $967,000 against the
facility. As a result of this on June 10, 2010 SunTrust amended the
lease schedules to release $500,000 of restricted cash to us.
NOTE E — RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
Consulting
Agreements
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, Steven C. Jones, a director of the
Company, earned approximately $53,000 and $115,000, respectively, for various
consulting work performed in connection with his duties as Executive Vice
President of Finance. During the three and six months ended June 30,
2009, Mr. Jones earned approximately $51,000 and $107,000, respectively, for
work performed as our Acting Principal Financial Officer.

During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, George O’Leary, a director of the
Company, did not engage in any consulting with the Company. During
the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009 Mr. O’Leary earned
approximately $16,000 and $37,000 for various consulting work performed for the
Company.
Laboratory Information
System
On March
11, 2005, we entered into an agreement with HCSS, LLC and eTelenext, Inc. to
enable NeoGenomics to use eTelenext, Inc’s Accessioning Application, AP Anywhere
Application and CMQ Application. HCSS, LLC is a holding company
created to build a small laboratory network for the 50 small commercial genetics
laboratories in the United States. HCSS, LLC was owned 66.7% by Dr.
Michael T. Dent, a member of our Board of Directors. George O’Leary,
a member of our Board of Directors was Chief Financial Officer of HCSS,
LLC.
On June
18, 2009, we entered into a Software Development, License and Support Agreement
with HCSS, LLC and eTelenext, Inc. to upgrade the Company’s laboratory
information system to APvX. The estimated costs for the development
and migration phase are anticipated to be approximately $150,000 and the system
went live on July 29, 2010. This agreement has an initial term of
five years from the date of acceptance and calls for monthly fees of
$8,000-$12,000 during the term.
During
2010, eTelenext and HCSS were merged to form PathCenter, Inc. Dr.
Michael T. Dent and Mr. George O’Leary have beneficial ownership of 12.2% and
4.6%, respectively of PathCenter, Inc.
For the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, eTelenext/PathCenter, Inc.
earned approximately $75,000 and $181,000, respectively, for work performed on
our laboratory information systems. For the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2009 Etelenext/HCSS earned approximately $59,000 and
$159,000, respectively, for work performed on our laboratory information
systems.
11
Research DX,
LLC
During
2009, we contracted with ResearchDX, L.L.C. (“ResearchDX”) to provide clinical
trial management services on our behalf. For the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2010, we began to receive various specimens for testing
from ResearchDX and we continued to outsource our clinical trial management and
cytogenetic overflow volume to them for processing. During the three
months ended June 30, 2010, we received specimen testing revenues from
ResearchDX of approximately $9,000 and incurred expenses to ResearchDX of
approximately $52,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we
received specimen testing revenues of approximately $25,000 and incurred
expenses to Research DX of approximately $121,000. Research DX was
formed in November 2008 and Dr. Mathew Moore our Vice President of Research owns
50% of ResearchDX. Dr. Moore has recused himself from all
transactions between the two entities and we believe that such transactions are
competitive with alternate options.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (referred to individually as the “Parent Company” or collectively
with all of its subsidiaries as “NeoGenomics” or the “Company” in this Form 10-Q)
is the registrant for SEC reporting purposes. Our common stock is listed
on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “NGNM.”
Introduction
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto
included herein. The information contained below includes statements of the
Company’s or management’s beliefs, expectations, hopes, goals and plans that, if
not historical, are forward-looking statements subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion on
forward-looking statements, see the information set forth in the introductory
note to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the caption “Forward Looking
Statements”, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Overview
NeoGenomics
operates a network of cancer-focused testing laboratories whose mission is to
improve patient care through exceptional cancer genetic diagnostic, prognostic
and predictive testing services. Our vision is to become America’s premier
cancer testing laboratory by delivering uncompromising quality, exceptional
service and innovative products and solutions. The Company’s laboratory network
currently offers the following types of testing services:
|
a)
|
cytogenetics
testing, which analyzes human
chromosomes;
|
|
b)
|
Fluorescence
In-Situ Hybridization (“FISH”) testing, which analyzes abnormalities at
the chromosomal and gene levels;
|
|
c)
|
flow
cytometry testing, which analyzes gene expression of specific markers
inside cells and on cell surfaces;
|
|
d)
|
immunohistochemistry
testing, which analyzes the distribution of tumor antigens in specific
cell and tissue types, and
|
|
e)
|
molecular
testing which involves analysis of DNA and RNA to diagnose and predict the
clinical significance of various genetic sequence
disorders.
|
All of
these testing services are widely utilized in the diagnosis, prognosis, and
prediction for response to therapy of various types of cancers.
Our
Focus
NeoGenomics’
primary focus is to provide high complexity laboratory testing for
community-based pathology, oncology, dermatology and urology markets in the
United States and the Caribbean. We focus on community-based practitioners for
two reasons: First, academic pathologists and associated clinicians tend to have
their testing needs met within the confines of their university affiliation.
Secondly, most of the cancer care in the United States is administered by
community based practitioners due to ease of local access. We currently provide
our services to pathologists and oncologists that perform bone marrow and/or
peripheral blood sampling for the diagnosis of blood and lymphoid tumors
(leukemias and lymphomas) and archival tissue referred for analysis of solid
tumors such as breast cancer. We also serve community-based urologists by
providing a FISH-based genetic test for the diagnosis of bladder cancer and
early detection of recurrent disease.
The high
complexity cancer testing services we offer to community-based pathologists are
designed to be a natural extension of and complementary to the services that our
pathologist clients perform within their own practices. Because fee-for-service
pathologists derive a significant portion of their annual revenue from the
interpretation of cancer biopsy specimens, they represent an important market
segment to us. We believe our relationship as a non-competitive partner to the
community-based pathologist empowers these pathologists to expand their testing
breadth and provide a menu of services that matches or exceeds the level of
service found in academic centers of excellence around the
country.
13
We also
believe that we can provide a competitive choice to those larger oncology
practices that prefer to have a direct relationship with a laboratory for cancer
genetic testing services. Our regionalized approach allows us strong
interactions with clients and our innovative Genetic Pathology Solutions (“GPS”)
report summarizes all relevant case data on one summary report.
New FISH Test for
Melanoma
In
February 2010 we launched the first of the three tests developed pursuant to our
2009 Strategic Supply Agreement with Abbott under the trade name
MelanoSITE™. MelanoSITE™ is a four probe FISH test that can be
used as a diagnostic aid to traditional histopathologic evaluation in diagnosing
melanoma. In conjunction with histopathology, the MelanoSITE™
test can help improve classification of melanocytic neoplasms with conflicting
morphologic criteria and help ensure proper follow-up. Differential
diagnosis of moderate to severely atypical nevi versus true melanoma is one of
the most challenging areas in dermatopathology. While most melanomas
can be readily distinguished from nevi on histopathologic examination, we
estimate there are about 5% of cases that are ambiguous and show conflicting
morphologic criteria. Diagnostic ambiguity has significant adverse
consequences for patients and the healthcare system at large. Failure
to recognize melanoma is potentially fatal, but labeling a benign lesion as
malignant can lead to unwarranted wide re-excisions, sentinel lymph node
biopsies, adjuvant toxic therapeutic interventions and the emotional strain of
facing a diagnosis of cancer. Considering the large number of
biopsies done in the U.S. to either confirm or rule out melanoma, diagnostic
uncertainty of this scale represents a significant challenge to the U.S.
healthcare system. We believe the MelanoSITE™ test will help address
this diagnostic uncertainty and help to reduce the medical costs associated with
melanoma by providing a more accurate diagnosis.
Seasonality
The
majority of our testing volume is dependent on patients being treated by
hematology/oncology professionals and other healthcare providers. Volume of
testing generally declines during the vacation seasons, year-end holiday periods
and other major holidays, particularly when those holidays fall during the
middle of the week. In addition, volume of testing tends to decline due to
adverse weather conditions, such as heavy snow, excessively hot or cold spells
or hurricanes, tornados in certain regions, consequently reducing revenues and
cash flows in any affected period. Therefore, comparison of the results of
successive periods may not accurately reflect trends for future
periods.
Critical Accounting
Policies
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and
assumptions and select accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
While
many operational aspects of our business are subject to complex federal, state
and local regulations, the accounting for our business is generally
straightforward with net revenues primarily recognized upon completion of the
testing process. Our revenues are primarily comprised of laboratory tests, and
approximately one-half of total operating costs and expenses consist of employee
compensation and benefits. Due to the nature of our business, several of our
accounting policies involve significant estimates and judgments. These
accounting policies have been described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2009, and there have been no material changes in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Revenue
The
Company’s specialized testing services are performed based on a written test
requisition form and revenues are recognized once the testing services have been
performed, the results have been delivered to the ordering physician, the payor
has been identified and eligibility and insurance have been verified. Our
testing services are billed to various payors, including Medicare, commercial
insurance companies, other directly billed healthcare institutions such as
hospitals and clinics, and individuals. We report revenues from contracted
payors, including Medicare, certain insurance companies and certain healthcare
institutions, based on the contractual rate, or in the case of Medicare,
published fee schedules. We report revenues from non-contracted payors,
including certain insurance companies and individuals, based on the amount
expected to be collected. The difference between the amount billed and the
amount expected to be collected from non-contracted payors is recorded as a
contractual allowance to arrive at the reported revenues. The expected revenues
from non-contracted payors are based on the historical collection experience of
each payor or payor group, as appropriate. In each reporting period, we review
our historical collection experience for non-contracted payors and adjust our
expected revenues for current and subsequent periods accordingly.
Revenues
increased approximately 14%, or $1.0 million, to $8.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $7.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2009. The revenue increase for the three months ended June 30,
2010, as compared to the comparable period in 2009, was primarily driven by
increases in the number of tests performed partially offset by a decline in
average revenue per test.
Test
volume increased approximately 28% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. Increases in test volumes were
primarily driven by the substantial increases in sales and marketing activities
by the Company over the past twelve months.
Revenues
increased approximately 18%, or $2.5 million, to $16.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $14.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009. The revenue increase for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as
compared to the comparable period in 2009, was primarily driven by increases in
the number of tests performed partially offset by a decline in average revenue
per test.
Test
volume increased approximately 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Increases in test volumes were
primarily driven by the substantial increases in sales and marketing activities
by the Company over the past twelve months.
15
Revenues
per test are a function of both the type of the test (e.g. FISH, cytogenetics,
flow cytometry, etc.) and the payer (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, third party
insurer, institutional client etc.). Average revenue per test is primarily
driven by our test type mix and our payer mix. The decrease in average revenue
per test for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 is primarily the
result of decreases in our managed care reimbursements and to a lesser extent
from lower priced tests in our test type mix.
We have
established a reserve for uncollectible amounts based on estimates of what we
will collect from: a) third-party payers with whom we do not have a contractual
arrangement or sufficient experience to accurately estimate the amount of
reimbursement we will receive, b) payments directly from patients, and c) those
procedures that are not covered by insurance or other third party payers. The
Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts increased 58%, or approximately
$344,000, to $933,000, as compared to $589,000 at December 31, 2009. The
allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately 15% of accounts receivable on
June 30, 2010 and 11% on December 31, 2009.
Cost of
Revenue
Cost of
revenue includes payroll and payroll related costs for performing tests,
depreciation of laboratory equipment, rent for laboratory facilities, laboratory
reagents, probes and supplies, and delivery and courier costs relating to the
transportation of specimens to be tested.
Cost of
revenue increased approximately 35%, or $1.2 million, to $4.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $3.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to increases
in all areas of costs of revenue as the Company scaled its operations in order
to meet increasing demand. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was
approximately 54% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 45%
for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Accordingly,
gross margin was approximately 46% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to 55% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decline in gross
margin is primarily the result of our largest customer at March 31, 2009
bringing in-house certain high margin tests in the second quarter of 2009 and
replacing a portion of that volume with additional low margin testing. This
customer represented 4% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30,
2010 compared to 12% for the comparable period in 2009.
Cost of
revenue increased approximately 38%, or $2.4 million, to $8.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $6.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in all
areas of costs of revenue as the Company scaled its operations in order to meet
increasing demand. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was approximately
53% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 45% for the six months
ended June 30, 2009.
Accordingly,
gross margin was approximately 47% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to 55% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decline in gross
margin is primarily the result of our largest customer at March 31, 2009
bringing in-house certain high margin tests in the second quarter of 2009 and
replacing a portion of that volume with additional low margin testing. This
customer represented 5% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to 15% for the comparable period in 2009.
Sales and
Marketing
Sales and
marketing expenses relate primarily to the employee related costs of our sales
management, sales representatives, sales and marketing consultants, marketing,
and customer service personnel.

The
increase in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 is driven primarily by an increase
in the number of sales representatives and sales recruiting
expenses.
16
The
increase in sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010
as compared to the same period in 2009 is primarily a result of adding
substantial numbers of sales and marketing personnel in 2009 to generate
additional revenue growth and to a lesser extent due to increased sales
consulting expenses related to the melanoma launch and development.
We expect
our sales and marketing expenses to stabilize in the near future. We expect
these expenses to decline as a percentage of revenue as our case volumes
increase and we develop more economies of scale in our sales and marketing
activities.
General and Administrative
Expenses
General
and administrative expenses relate to billing, bad debts, finance, human
resources, information technology, and other administrative functions. They
primarily consist of employee related costs (such as salaries, fringe benefits,
and stock-based compensation expense), professional services, facilities
expense, and depreciation and administrative-related costs allocated to general
and administrative expenses. In addition, the provision for doubtful accounts is
included in general and administrative expenses.

The
increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2010 as compared for the comparable period in 2009 is primarily a result of
adding information technology management and to a lesser extent research and
development costs of related to new test offerings and warrant compensation
expense as a result of the 450,000 warrants issued to Steven C. Jones as part of
his consulting agreement to serve as our Executive Vice President,
Finance. See the discussion of such warrant under Item 1. Financial
Statements, Note E.
Bad debt
expense increased by approximately 46%, or $199,000, to $626,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $427,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2009. Bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 was 7.3% as compared to 5.7% for the three months ended June
30, 2009.
The
increase in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30, 2010 as compared for the comparable period in 2009 is primarily a result of
adding additional senior level management and information technology
personnel.
Bad debt
expense increased by approximately 25%, or $232,000, to $1,166,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $934,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2009. Bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 was 6.9% as compared to 6.5% for the six months ended June 30,
2009.
The
increase in bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue is the result of managed
care organizations becoming more aggressive in limiting payments to
out-of-network providers. We negotiated and signed managed care
contracts with two of the largest insurance companies in the United States in
the last ninety days and we expect that these should help to reduce our bad debt
expense going forward.
We expect
our general and administrative expenses to increase modestly as we increase our
billing and collections activities; incur additional expenses associated with
the expansion of our facilities and backup systems; and continue to build our
physical infrastructure to support our anticipated growth. However, we expect
general and administrative expenses to decline as a percentage of our revenue as
our case volumes increase and we develop more operating leverage in our
business.
Interest Expense, net and
Other Expense
Interest
expense net, represents the interest expense we incur on our borrowing
arrangements offset by the interest income we earn on cash deposits. Interest
expense, net increased approximately 35%, or $45,000, to $175,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $130,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2009. Interest expense, net increased approximately 36%, or $89,000, to
$334,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $245,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2009. Interest expense is primarily related to the
amount of our capital leases outstanding and to a lesser extent to the borrowing
under our credit facility with CapitalSource. Interest expense increased over
the same period in the prior year primarily as a result of the higher capital
lease and working capital facility balances. Other expense for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $6,000 and represents
minimum state income taxes.

Net Income
(Loss)
As a
result of the foregoing, we reported a net loss of $978,000, or $(0.03)/share,
for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to a net income of $8,000,
or $0.00/share, for the three months ended June 30, 2009. We reported a net loss
of $1,728,000, or $(0.05) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to a net income of $41,000, or $0.00 per share, for the six months
ended June 30, 2009.

The large
increase in cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to the comparable period in 2009 is primarily the result of the loss
from operations, and increases in our accounts receivable from increased
revenues.
The
increase in cash used in investing activities relates to paying more cash for
capital expenditures than in the prior year.
The
increase in net cash flow provided by financing activities was primarily the
result of increases in funding on our Capital Source working capital facility
related to the increase in accounts receivable as well as our operating
losses. This funding was partially offset by payments on our capital
lease facilities.
On
November 5, 2008, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Stock
Agreement”) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, an Illinois limited liability
company (“Fusion”). The Stock Agreement, which has a term of 30 months, provides
for the future funding of up to $8.0 million available from sales of our common
stock to Fusion on a when and if needed basis as determined by us in our sole
discretion, depending on, among other things, the market price of our common
stock. As of June 30, 2010, we had not drawn on any amounts under the Fusion
Stock Agreement.
On
February 1, 2008, we entered into a revolving credit facility with
CapitalSource, which allows us to borrow up to $3,000,000 based on a formula
which is tied to our eligible accounts receivable that are aged less than 150
days.
On April
26, 2010, the Parent Company, NeoGenomics Laboratories, Inc., the wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Parent Company (“Borrower”), and CapitalSource entered into an
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement amended and restated the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated
February 1, 2008, as amended, among the Parent Company, Borrower and
CapitalSource (the “Original Credit Agreement”). The terms of the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Original Credit Agreement are
substantially similar except that the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
among other things, (i) increases the maximum principal amount of the revolving
credit facility from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, (ii) provides that the term of
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall end on February 1,
2013, (iii) increases the amount of the collateral management fee and
unused line fees paid by Borrower to CapitalSource, (iv) modifies the
definitions of “Minimum Termination Fee” and “Permitted Indebtedness”, (v)
provides that the Borrower must maintain a minimum outstanding principal balance
under the revolving facility of at least $2,000,000, (vi) increases the interest
rate to LIBOR plus 4.25% (provided that LIBOR shall not be less than 2.0%) and
(vii) revises certain covenants and representations and
warranties. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also made
permanent a previously enacted temporary change to the methodology for
calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant, which permits us to add
amounts of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and unused availability under
the Credit Facility to Adjusted EBITDA for the purposes of calculating this
covenant. Borrower paid CapitalSource a commitment fee of $33,500 in
connection with the execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
(CapitalSource credited $25,000 of an amendment fee previously paid by the
Borrower towards the commitment fee).
18
On June
30, 2010, we had an outstanding amount due on the Credit Facility of
approximately $2.96 million.
As of
June 30, 2010, we had approximately $2,177,000 in unrestricted cash on hand,
$627,000 of availability under our credit facility, and up to $8.0 million
available under the Fusion Stock Agreement. As such, we believe we have adequate
resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months, and
accordingly our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we
be unable to continue as a going concern.
Capital
Expenditures
We
currently forecast capital expenditures in order to execute on our business
plan. The amount and timing of such capital expenditures will be determined by
the volume of business, but we currently anticipate that we will need to
purchase approximately $3.0 million to $4.0 million of additional capital
equipment during the next twelve months. We plan to fund these expenditures with
cash, through bank loan facilities, and through capital lease financing
arrangements. If we are unable to obtain such funding, we will need to pay cash
for these items or we will be required to curtail our equipment purchases, which
may have an impact on our ability to continue to grow our
revenues. We are currently in engaged in due diligence with respect
to two leasing facilities which would provide financing for a large portion of
these expenditures.
Subsequent
Events
Addition and Appointment of
Executive Officers
Effective
as of July 16, 2010, Marydawn Miller, was appointed to the position of Vice
President of Information Technology of the Company.
Effective

Also on
August 10, 2010, Mark Smits, has been appointed to the position of Vice
President of Sales and Marketing of the Company and his start date is August 30,
2010.
As part
of his employment offer letter Mr. Smits salary was set at
$275,000. Beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010,
Mr. Smits is also eligible to receive a base incentive bonus payment which will
be targeted at 40% of his base salary based on 100% achievement of goals (the
“Base Bonus Target”) agreed to by Mr. Smits and the CEO of NeoGenomics
Laboratories and approved by the Board of Directors for such fiscal year and is
eligible to be increased up to 150% of the Base Target Bonus in any fiscal year
in which he meets certain outsize performance thresholds established by the CEO
of the Company and approved by the board of directors. Mr. Smits
targeted bonus for FY 2010 will be prorated for the amount of time served in
2010 and is guaranteed to be a minimum of $25,000. Mr. Smits is also
entitled to participate in all medical and other benefits that NeoGenomics
Laboratories has established for its employees. Mr. Smits will also
be eligible for up to four (4) weeks of paid time off per year. If
Mr. Smits were terminated without cause during the term (as such term is used in
the offer letter) he is eligible to receive his base pay and benefits for a
period of six (6) months. Mr. Smits also will receive the option to
purchase 425,000 shares of common stock. See the Company’s Current
Report on Form 8-K filed on August 12, 2010 for additional information regarding
this option. Mr. Smits was given the right to purchase up to $100,000
of common stock directly from the Company during his first seven (7) days with
the Company or at such other period as may be mutually agreed upon in writing.
The share price will be determined by the average share price of the five
trading days prior to the purchase. The company also agreed that if
the purchase right was exercised that it would provide warrants (the “Warrant”)
to purchase the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) to Mr. Smits in an
amount equal to the number of shares purchased. The exercise price of
those warrants is to be set at 125% of the price per share of the common stock
purchased. The warrants have a five (5) year term and vest based on
the following:
|
-
|
20%
of the Warrant Shares will be deemed vested as of the date of the
Warrant;
|
|
-
