NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Business Description.

Precipio, Inc., and its subsidiaries, (collectively, “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Precipio”) is a healthcare solutions company focused on cancer diagnostics. The Company’s business mission is to address the pervasive problem of cancer misdiagnoses by developing solutions to mitigate the root causes of this problem in the form of diagnostic products, reagents and services. Misdiagnoses originate from outdated commercial diagnostic cancer testing technologies, lack of subspecialized expertise, and sub-optimal laboratory processes that are needed in today’s diagnostic cancer testing in order to provide accurate, rapid, and resource-effective results to treat patients. Industry studies estimate 1 in 5 blood-cancer patients are misdiagnosed. As cancer diagnostic testing has evolved from cellular to molecular (genes and exons), laboratory testing has become extremely complex, requiring even greater diagnostic precision, attention to process and a more appropriate evaluation of the abundance of genetic data to effectively gather, consider, analyze and present information for the physician for patient treatment. Precipio believes cancer diagnostics requires a holistic approach to improve the quality of diagnostic data and achieve more accurate interpretations of the patient situation, with the intent to reduce misdiagnoses. By delivering products, reagents and services that improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnostics, leading to fewer misdiagnoses, we believe patient outcomes can be improved through the selection of appropriate therapeutic options. Furthermore, we believe that better patient outcomes will have a positive impact on healthcare expenses as misdiagnoses are reduced. Better Diagnostic Results – Better Patient Outcome – Lower Healthcare Expenditures.

To deliver its strategy, the Company has structured its organization to develop diagnostic products. Laboratory and R&D facilities located in New Haven, Connecticut and Omaha, Nebraska house teams that collaborate on the development of new products and services. The Company operates CLIA laboratories in both the New Haven, Connecticut and Omaha, Nebraska locations providing essential blood cancer diagnostics to office-based oncologists in many states nationwide. To deliver on our strategy of mitigating misdiagnoses we rely heavily on our CLIA laboratory to support R&D beta-testing of the products we develop, in a clinical environment.

Our Products Division commercial team generates direct sales as well as works with our key distributors. Global healthcare distributors, such as ThermoFisher and McKesson, have partnered with us to form the backbone of the Company’s go-to-market strategy and enable us to access laboratories around the country that can benefit from using our diagnostic products.

Our operating structure promotes the harnessing of our proprietary technology and genetic diagnostic expertise to bring to market the Company’s robust pipeline of innovative solutions designed to address the root causes of misdiagnoses.

Joint Venture.

The Company has determined that it holds a variable interest in a joint venture formed in April 2020 (the “Joint Venture”) and is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity (“VIE”). See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion regarding consolidation of variable interest entities.

The Joint Venture was dissolved on November 1, 2023 with an effective date of December 31, 2022.

Going Concern.

Table of Contents

operating losses and has used cash in its operating activities for the past several years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $6.8 million and net cash used in operating activities of $3.7 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $99.1 million and a negative working capital of $1.1 million. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is dependent upon a combination of achieving its business plan, including generating additional revenue and avoiding potential business disruption due to the macroeconomic environment and geopolitical instability, and raising additional financing to meet its debt obligations and paying liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

To meet its current and future obligations the Company has taken the following steps to capitalize the business and successfully achieve its business plan:

●

On April 14, 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement with AGP, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell its common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $5.8 million, to or through AGP, as sales agent (the “AGP 2023 Sales Agreement”). The sale of our shares of common stock to or through AGP, pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement, will be made pursuant to the registration statement (the “2023 Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-271277), filed by the Company with the SEC on April 14, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed by the Company with the SEC on April 25, 2023, and declared effective on April 27, 2023. As of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, we have received less than $1 thousand in gross proceeds through the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement from the sale of 25 shares of common stock. The Company has approximately $3.8 million available for future sales pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement. See Note 7 Stockholders’ Equity, AGP 2023 Sales Agreement, for further discussion.

●

On June 8, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which it received $2.0 million in gross proceeds through the sale of 206,250 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. Issuance costs were approximately $0.2 million and the Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. See Note 7 Stockholders’ Equity, Registered Direct Offering, for further discussion.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned circumstances, there remains substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully achieve its initiatives summarized above in order to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern as a result of the outcome of this uncertainty.

Nasdaq Compliance.

On October 28, 2022, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that for the past 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price per share of our common stock was below $1.00, the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). On April 27, 2023, Nasdaq notified us that we were eligible for an extension to comply with the Bid Price Rule until October 23, 2023, by which date we must have regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule for at least ten consecutive business days along with compliance of other Nasdaq listing rules.

On September 21, 2023 we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, pursuant to which we effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our issued and outstanding common stock. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on September 21, 2023, and our common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the market open on September 22, 2023. On October 6, 2023, we received notification from Nasdaq that for ten consecutive business days, the closing bid price of our common stock was at least $1.00 per share, and accordingly, the Company regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, and that the matter is now closed.

Certain reclassifications were made to the statements of cash flows related to splitting accruals and deferred revenue to separate lines in order to conform to the 2023 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported retained earnings, net income, total assets or liabilities, or cash flows used in operating activities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which replaces current methods for evaluating impairment of financial instruments not measured at fair value, including trade accounts receivable and certain debt securities, with a current expected credit loss model. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU 2022-03”). The amendments in ASU 2022-03 clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments in this Update also require additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The provisions in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt this ASU. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” This ASU amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those annual periods and early adoption is permitted in annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Loss Per Share.

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares (including pre-funded warrants) outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants or conversion rights that have exercise or conversion prices below the market value of our common stock. Shares of the Company’s common stock underlying pre-funded warrants are included in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share due to the negligible exercise price of the pre-funded warrants. Options, warrants and conversion rights pertaining to 705,976 and 226,434 shares of our common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because the effect is anti-dilutive due to the net loss.

The following table summarizes the outstanding securities not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share:


	September 30,
	2023	2022
Stock options	234,213	184,936
Warrants	465,888	35,623
Preferred stock	5,875	5,875
Total	705,976	226,434

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

We evaluate any entity in which we are involved to determine if the entity is a VIE and if so, whether we hold a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. We consolidate VIEs that are subject to assessment when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The process for determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE is to conclude whether we are a party to the VIE holding a variable interest that meets both of the following criteria: (1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE.

We have determined that we hold a variable interest in the Joint Venture, have the power to make significant operational decisions on behalf of the VIE and also have the obligation to absorb the majority of the losses from the VIE. As such we have also determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The following table presents information about the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the Joint Venture which we consolidate and which are included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation and not reflected in the following table.

Department of Economic and Community Development.

On January 8, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”) by which the Company received a loan of $300,000 secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets (the “DECD 2018 Loan”). The DECD 2018 Loan is a ten-year loan due on December 31, 2027 and includes interest paid monthly at 3.25%. The maturity date of the DECD 2018 Loan was extended to May 31, 2028 and the modification did not have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows.

Amortization of the debt issuance costs were less than $1 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2 thousand and $3 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Financed Insurance Loan.

The Company finances certain of its insurance premiums (the “Financed Insurance Loans”). In July 2023, the Company financed $0.4 million with a 9.99% interest rate and is obligated to make payments on a monthly basis through June 2024. In July 2022, the Company financed $0.4 million with a 5.99% interest rate and made payments on a monthly basis through June 2023. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Financed Insurance Loan’s outstanding balance of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, was included in current maturities of long-term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. A corresponding prepaid asset was included in other current assets.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, zero and $3 thousand, respectively, were recorded as a gain on settlement of

Table of Contents

liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, zero and $4 thousand, respectively, were recorded as a gain on settlement of liability.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in legal proceedings related to matters, which are incidental to its business. Also, the Company is delinquent on the payment of outstanding accounts payable for certain vendors and suppliers who have taken or have threatened to take legal action to collect such outstanding amounts. See below for a discussion on these matters.

PURCHASE COMMITMENTS

The Company has entered into purchase commitments for reagents from suppliers. These agreements started in 2011 and run through 2025. The Company and the suppliers will true up the amounts on an annual basis. The future minimum purchase commitments under these and other purchase agreements are approximately $0.7 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

LITIGATIONS

CPA Global provides us with certain patent management services. On February 6, 2017, CPA Global claimed that we owed approximately $0.2 million for certain patent maintenance services rendered. CPA Global has not filed claims against us in connection with this allegation. A liability of less than $0.1 million has been recorded and is reflected in accounts payable within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirement, reimbursement for patient services and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers.

Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government healthcare programs together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with fraud and abuse regulations, as well as other applicable government laws and regulations. While no material regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

6. LEASES

The Company leases administrative facilities and laboratory equipment through operating lease agreements. In addition, we rent various equipment used in our diagnostic lab and in our administrative offices through finance lease arrangements. Our operating leases include both lease (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common area or other maintenance costs). The facility leases include one or more options to renew, from 1 to 5 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion, therefore, the renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. We regularly evaluate the renewal options and, when they are reasonably certain of exercise, we include the renewal period in our lease term. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.

Operating leases result in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease

Table of Contents

payments. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The primary leases we enter into with initial terms of 12 months or less are for equipment.

The Company also recognizes ROU assets from finance leases in connection with its HemeScreen Reagent Rental (“HSRR”) program. For certain customers in the HSRR program, the Company leases diagnostic testing equipment and then subleases the equipment to the customer. Finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date, and at the sublease commencement date the finance lease ROU asset is derecognized and is recorded as cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no derecognized finance lease ROU assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Where Precipio is the lessor, customers lease diagnostic testing equipment from the Company with the transfer of ownership to the customer at the end of the lease term at no additional cost. For these contracts, the Company accounts for the arrangements as sales-type leases. The lease asset for sales-type leases is the net investment in leased asset, which is recorded once the finance lease ROU asset is derecognized and a related gain or loss is noted. The net investment in leased assets was $0.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is included in other current assets and other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The balance sheet presentation of our operating and finance leases is as follows:

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock.

Pursuant to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, we currently have 150,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance. On December 20, 2018, the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors to, in its discretion, amend the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 150,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares. The Company has not yet implemented this increase.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued zero shares of its common stock, respectively, in connection with the exercise of warrants. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company 1,327 and 1,340 shares of its common stock, respectively, in connection with the exercise of 1,327 and 1,340 warrants, respectively. The warrant exercises during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted in net cash proceeds to the Company of $11 thousand, respectively.

At The Market Offering Agreement

AGP Sales Agreement

On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”), pursuant to which the Company was permitted to offer and sell its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Shares”), having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $22.0 million. Shares can be sold either directly to or through AGP as a sales agent (the “AGP Sales Agreement”), from time to time, in an “at the market offering” (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Shares (the “2021 ATM Offering”). The Company

Table of Contents

is limited in the number of shares it can sell in the 2021 ATM Offering due to the offering limitations currently applicable to the Company under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3 and the Company’s public float as of the applicable date of such sales, as well as the number of authorized and unissued shares available for issuance, in accordance with the terms of the AGP Sales Agreement.

The sale of our shares of Common Stock to or through AGP, will be made pursuant to the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-237445), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13, 2020, for an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million.

Under the AGP Sales Agreement, Shares were permitted to be sold by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering.” AGP will also be able to sell shares of Common Stock by any other method permitted by law, including in negotiated transactions with the Company’s prior written consent. Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the AGP Sales Agreement, AGP was required to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations, and the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market to sell the Shares from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions, including any price, time or size limits specified by the Company. AGP is not under any obligation to purchase any of the Shares on a principal basis pursuant to the AGP Sales Agreement, except as otherwise agreed by AGP and the Company in writing and expressly set forth in a placement notice. AGP’s obligations to sell the Shares under the AGP Sales Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including customary closing conditions. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Shares under the AGP Sales Agreement and any determination by the Company to do so will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and the Company’s capital raising needs.

The Company agreed to pay AGP a cash fee of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares on the Company’s behalf pursuant to the AGP Sales Agreement. The AGP Sales Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this type. In addition, the Company has provided AGP with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company also agreed to reimburse AGP for certain specified expenses, including the expenses of counsel to AGP. The offering of the Shares pursuant to the AGP Sales Agreement terminated upon the expiration of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-237445).

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received net proceeds of zero and $0.5 million from the sale of zero and 30,827 shares of common stock through the AGP Sales Agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we received net proceeds of $0.1 million in each period from the sale of 4,251 shares of common stock through AGP, respectively.

As of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have received an aggregate of $15.6 million in net proceeds, after issuance costs of approximately $0.5 million, from the sale of 260,128 shares of common stock pursuant to the AGP Sales Agreement.

AGP 2023 Sales Agreement

On April 14, 2023, the Company entered into the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement, in an “at the market offering” (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the shares of Common Stock. AGP will be entitled to a commission at a fixed rate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement.

The sale of our shares of Common Stock to or through AGP, pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement, will be made pursuant to the 2023 Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-271277), filed by the Company with the SEC on April 14, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed by the Company with the SEC on April 25, 2023, and declared effective on April 27, 2023, for an aggregate offering price of up to $5.8 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received net proceeds of less than $1 thousand, respectively, from the sale of 25 shares of common stock pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement. As a result of sales

Table of Contents

already made through the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement and the Registered Direct Offering, mentioned below, the Company has approximately $3.8 million available for future sales pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement.

Registered Direct Offering

On June 8, 2023, the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers, in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”), an aggregate of: (i) 206,250 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $9.00 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 15,972 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $8.98 per Pre-Funded Warrant. The Company reviewed the provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrants to determine the balance sheet classification and concluded that these warrants are to be classified as equity and are not subject to remeasurement on each balance sheet date. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of $0.02 per share, and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. As of September 30, 2023, no Pre-Funded Warrants have been exercised.

In a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement” and together with the Registered Direct Offering, the “Offering”), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers, for no additional consideration, warrants (the “RDO Common Warrants” and, together with the Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Securities”) to purchase up to 444,444 shares of Common Stock. The Company reviewed the provisions of the RDO Common Warrants to determine the balance sheet classification and concluded that these warrants are to be classified as equity and are not subject to remeasurement on each balance sheet date. The RDO Common Warrants are exercisable beginning six months after the date of issuance, have an exercise price of $12.60 per share, and will expire December 12, 2028. The fair value of the RDO Common Warrants of approximately $3.5 million at the date of issuance was estimated using the Black-Scholes model which used the following inputs: term of 5 years; risk free rate of 3.89%; volatility of 143%; and share price of $9.00 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock. The Company allocated $1.3 million of the issuance proceeds to the RDO Common Warrants based on the relative fair value of the RDO Common Warrants, Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants issued in the Offering. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants may not exercise the warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants may increase or decrease this percentage not in excess of 19.99% by providing at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.

The Registered Direct Offering resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $2.0 million. The net proceeds to the Company from the Registered Direct Offering are approximately $1.8 million, excluding any proceeds that may be received upon the cash exercise of the RDO Common Warrants, after deducting the financial advisor’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, research and development expenditures, regulatory affairs expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, acquisitions of new technologies and investments and others.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions. Additionally, each of the directors and executive officers of the Company, pursuant to lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”), agreed not to sell or transfer any of the Company securities which they hold, subject to certain exceptions, during the 90-day period following the closing of the Registered Direct Offering. The Purchase Agreement also requires the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale by the Purchasers of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the RDO Common Warrants within thirty (30) days of the date of the Purchase Agreement. The Company filed this registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-273172), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 19, 2023.

On June 7, 2023, the Company also entered into a financial advisory agreement (the “Financial Advisor Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Financial Advisor”). Pursuant to the terms of the Financial Advisor Agreement, the Financial Advisor agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the Securities.

Table of Contents

The Company paid the Financial Advisor a cash fee of $140,000 generated from the sale of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants.

The Financial Advisor Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Financial Advisor, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, (i) it will not issue any shares of common stock or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock or to file any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto for a period of ninety (90) days following the closing of the Offering and that (ii) it will not enter into a variable rate transaction for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the closing of the Offering.

The Registered Direct Offering was made pursuant to the 2023 Registration Statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated June 9, 2023. There is $3.8 million of remaining availability under the 2023 Registration Statement.

Preferred Stock.

The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, from time to time, with such designations, powers, preferences and rights and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions as may be provided in a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors.

Series B Preferred Stock.

The Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) with the State of Delaware, which designates 6,900 shares of our preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1 thousand per share and a par value of $0.01 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock includes a beneficial ownership blocker but has no dividend rights (except to the extent dividends are also paid on the common stock). On August 28, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering consisting of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and warrants.

The conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock contains a down round feature. The Company will recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. At that time, the effect would be treated as a deemed dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in our basic earnings per share calculation.

There were no conversions of Series B Preferred Stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 6,900 shares of Series B Preferred Stock designated and issued and 47 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. Based on the stated value of $1 thousand per share and a conversion price of $8.00 per share, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at September 30, 2023 were convertible into 5,875 shares of common stock.

(4) These warrants were issued in connection with convertible notes issued in May 2019.

(5)(6) These warrants were issued in connection with the 2023 registered direct offering and concurrent private placement and are the pre-funded warrants and RDO common warrants discussed below.

There were 1,327 and 1,340 warrants exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 for proceeds to the Company of $11 thousand, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the intrinsic value of the warrants exercised was $20 thousand, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 5,593 and 13,012 warrants expired, respectively. The warrants had been issued in connection with transactions that were completed in 2018.

Pre-Funded Warrants. In connection with the Registered Direct Offering in June 2023, the Company issued 15,972 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 15,972 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $8.98 per Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of $0.02 per share, and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. Shares of the Company’s common stock underlying Pre-Funded warrants are included in the calculation of basic loss per share due to the negligible exercise price of the Pre-Funded warrants.

RDO Common Warrants. In connection with the Registered Direct Offering in June 2023, the Company issued 444,444 RDO Common Warrants to purchase up to 444,444 shares of Common Stock.

8. FAIR VALUE

FASB guidance on fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements for our financial assets and liabilities, as well as for other assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

FASB guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price assets or liabilities. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; and

Table of Contents

Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions and best estimate of what inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Common Stock Warrant Liabilities.

Certain of our issued and outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock do not qualify to be treated as equity and, accordingly, are recorded as a liability. We are required to record these instruments at fair value at each reporting date and changes are recorded as a non-cash adjustment to earnings. The gains or losses included in earnings are reported in other income (expense) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities

During 2018 and 2019, the Company issued warrants in connection with the issuance of convertible notes. All of these warrants issuances were classified as warrant liabilities (the “Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities”).

The Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities are considered Level 3 financial instruments and were valued using the Black Scholes model. As of September 30, 2023, Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities outstanding were the result of convertible note issuances on various dates in 2018 and 2019. The assumptions used in the valuation of the Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities include the following ranges: remaining life to maturity of 0.25 to 0.62 years; volatility rate of 69% to 85%; and risk-free rate of 5.53% to 5.55%. As of December 31, 2022, assumptions used in the valuation of the Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities include: remaining life to maturity of 0.3 to 1.4 years; volatility rate of 69% to 77%; and risk free rate of 4.42 to 4.76%.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were less than $1 thousand, respectively.

The changes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were comprised of the following:

9. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company currently issues stock awards under its 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2017 Plan”) which will expire on June 5, 2027. The shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan were 249,693 at September 30, 2023, of which 12,926 were available for future grant. The shares authorized under the 2017 Plan are subject to annual increases on January 1 by 5% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lessor number of shares determined by the Company’s Board of Directors

Table of Contents

or Compensation Committee. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the shares authorized for issuance increased by 57,051 shares.

Stock Options.

The Company accounts for all stock-based compensation payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options, at fair value at the date of grant and expenses the benefit in operating expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the service period of the awards. The Company records the expense for stock-based compensation awards subject to performance-based milestone vesting over the remaining service period when management determines that achievement of the milestone is probable based on the expected satisfaction of the performance conditions as of the reporting date. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires various assumptions including estimating stock price volatility, expected life of the stock option, risk free interest rate and estimated forfeiture rate.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted stock options to purchase up to 58,530 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $12.12 per share. These awards have vesting periods of up to four years and had a weighted average grant date fair value of $11.60. The fair value calculation of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 used the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.66% to 4.05%, based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant; expected life of six years; and volatility of 146% to 162% based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a time that is consistent with the expected life of the option.

The following table summarizes stock option activity under our plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:


	Number of	Weighted-Average
	Options	Exercise Price
Outstanding at January 1, 2023	184,067	$	56.75
Granted	58,530		12.12
Forfeited	(8,384)		24.12
Outstanding at September 30, 2023	234,213	$	46.77
Exercisable at September 30, 2023	141,908	$	57.93

As of September 30, 2023, there were 210,096 options that were vested or expected to vest with aggregate intrinsic value of zero and a remaining weighted average contractual life of 7.8 years.

Restricted Stock Awards.

Restricted stock awards are subject to vesting restrictions. If a grantee’s service with the Company is terminated prior to vesting of the restricted stock, all unvested shares shall be forfeited and returned to the Company. Upon vesting, the restricted stock award shall no longer be deemed restricted.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted 2,492 restricted stock awards to directors of the Company. The awards vested immediately and had a weighted average grant date fair value of $5.90. As of September 30, 2023, there were 2,492 and zero restricted stock awards that were vested and unvested, respectively.

There were no restricted stock awards granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Stock Compensation.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense for all stock awards of $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, within operating expense in the accompanying statements of operations. Stock compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, includes approximately $16,000, respectively, of expense related to restricted stock awards. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense for all stock awards of $0.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, within operating expense in the accompanying statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023, the unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock awards was $2.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

10. SALES SERVICE REVENUE, NET AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from contracts with customers”

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 606 for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers to transfer goods and services. The Company performed a comprehensive review of its existing revenue arrangements following the five-step model:

Step 1: Identification of the contract with the customer. Sub-steps include determining the customer in a contract, initial contract identification and determining if multiple contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single transaction.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligation in the contract. Sub-steps include identifying the promised goods and services in the contract and identifying which performance obligations within the contract are distinct.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Sub-steps include variable consideration, constraining estimates of variable consideration, the existence of a significant financing component in the contract, noncash consideration and consideration payable to a customer.

Step 4: Allocate transaction price. Sub-steps include assessing the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer.

Step 5: Satisfaction of performance obligations. Sub-steps include ascertaining the point in time when an asset is transferred to the customer and when the customer obtains control of the asset upon which time the Company recognizes revenue.

Nature of Contracts and Customers

The Company’s contracts and related performance obligations are similar for its customers and the sales process for all customers starts upon the receipt of requisition forms from the customers for patient diagnostic testing and the execution of contracts for biomarker testing and clinical research. Payment terms for the services provided are 30 days, unless separately negotiated.

Diagnostic testing

Control of the laboratory testing services is transferred to the customer at a point in time. As such, the Company recognizes revenue for laboratory testing services at a point in time based on the delivery method (web-portal access or fax) for the patient’s laboratory report, per the contract.

Clinical research grants

Control of the clinical research services are transferred to the customer over time. The Company will recognize revenue utilizing the “effort based” method, measuring its progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Table of Contents

Biomarker testing and clinical project services

Control of the biomarker testing and clinical project services are transferred to the customer over time. The Company utilizes an “effort based” method of assessing performance and measures progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation based upon the delivery of results.

The Company generates revenue from the provision of diagnostic testing provided to patients, biomarker testing provided to bio-pharma customers and clinical research grants funded by both bio-pharma customers and government health programs.

Reagents and other diagnostic products

Control of reagents and other diagnostic products are transferred to the customer at a point in time and, as such, the Company recognizes these revenues at a point in time based on the delivery method. These revenues include revenues from reagent sets for our HSRR program and other product sales and are included in other revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Disaggregation of Revenues by Transaction Type

We operate in one business segment and, therefore, the results of our operations are reported on a consolidated basis for purposes of segment reporting, consistent with internal management reporting. Service revenue, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in thousands)	Diagnostic Testing
	2023		2022
Medicaid	$	10	$	12
Medicare		1,691		936
Self-pay		39		109
Third party payers		1,998		1,003
Service revenue, net	$	3,738	$	2,060


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in thousands)	Diagnostic Testing
	2023		2022
Medicaid	$	22	$	39
Medicare		3,736		2,986
Self-pay		155		206
Third party payers		4,661		3,060
Service revenue, net	$	8,574	$	6,291

Revenue from the Medicare and Medicaid programs account for a portion of the Company’s patient diagnostic service revenue. Laws and regulations governing those programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using the expected value method based on historical experience. The Company does not typically enter arrangements where multiple contracts can be combined as the terms regarding services are generally found within

Table of Contents

a single agreement/requisition form. The Company derives its revenues from the following types of transactions: diagnostic testing (“Diagnostic”), revenues from the Company’s ICP technology and bio-pharma projects encompassing genetic diagnostics (collectively “Biomarker”), revenues from clinical research grants from state and federal research programs and diagnostic product sales, including revenues from equipment leases and reagent sales associated with our HSRR program.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue, or unearned revenue, refers to advance payments for products or services that are to be delivered in the future. The Company records such prepayment of unearned revenue as a liability, as revenue that has not yet been earned, but represents products or services that are owed to a customer. As the product or service is delivered over time, the Company recognizes the appropriate amount of revenue from deferred revenue. For the periods ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the deferred revenue was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Contractual Allowances and Adjustments

We are reimbursed by payers for services we provide. Payments for services covered by payers average less than billed charges. We monitor revenue and receivables from payers and record an estimated contractual allowance for certain revenue and receivable balances as of the revenue recognition date to properly account for anticipated differences between amounts estimated in our billing system and amounts ultimately reimbursed by payers. Accordingly, the total revenue and receivables reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements are recorded at the amounts expected to be received from these payers. For service revenue, the contractual allowance is estimated based on several criteria, including unbilled claims, historical trends based on actual claims paid, current contract and reimbursement terms and changes in customer base and payer/product mix. The billing functions for the remaining portion of our revenue are contracted and fixed fees for specific services and are recorded without an allowance for contractual discounts. The following table presents our revenues initially recognized for each associated payer class during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company provides for a general allowance for collectability of services when recording net sales. The Company has adopted the policy of recognizing net sales to the extent it expects to collect that amount. Reference is made to FASB 954-605-45-5 and ASU 2011-07, Health Care Entities: Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debt, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The change in the allowance for doubtful accounts is directly related to the increase in patient service revenues.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Customer Contract

Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping and handling costs are comprised of inbound and outbound freight and associated labor. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as fulfillment costs which are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Accounts Receivable

The Company has provided an allowance for potential credit losses, which has been determined based on management’s industry experience. The Company grants credit without collateral to its patients, most of who are insured under third party payer agreements.

Overview

We are a healthcare solutions company focused on cancer diagnostics. Our business mission is to address the pervasive problem of cancer misdiagnoses by developing solutions to mitigate the root causes of this problem in the form of diagnostic products, reagents and services. Misdiagnoses originate from outdated commercial diagnostic cancer testing technologies, lack of subspecialized expertise, and sub-optimal laboratory processes that are needed in today’s diagnostic cancer testing in order to provide accurate, rapid, and resource-effective results to treat patients. Industry studies estimate 1 in 5 blood-cancer patients are misdiagnosed. As cancer diagnostic testing has evolved from cellular to molecular (genes and exons), laboratory testing has become extremely complex, requiring even greater diagnostic precision, attention to process and a more appropriate evaluation of the abundance of genetic data to effectively gather, consider, analyze and present information for the physician for patient treatment. We believe cancer diagnostics requires a holistic approach to improve the quality of diagnostic data and achieve more accurate interpretations of the patient situation, with the intent to reduce misdiagnoses. By delivering products, reagents and services that improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnostics, leading to fewer misdiagnoses, we believe patient outcomes can be improved through the selection of

Table of Contents

appropriate therapeutic options. Furthermore, we believe that better patient outcomes will have a positive impact on healthcare expenses as misdiagnoses are reduced. Better diagnostic results – Better Patient Outcome – Lower Healthcare Expenditures.

To deliver our strategy, we have structured our organization to develop diagnostic products. Laboratory and R&D facilities located in New Haven, Connecticut and Omaha, Nebraska house teams that collaborate on the development of new products and services. The Company operates CLIA laboratories in both the New Haven, Connecticut and Omaha, Nebraska locations providing essential blood cancer diagnostics to office-based oncologists in many states nationwide. To deliver on our strategy of mitigating misdiagnoses we rely heavily on our CLIA laboratory to support R&D beta-testing of the products we develop, in a clinical environment.

In April 2020, we formed a Joint Venture with Poplar. Poplar provides specialized laboratory testing services to a nationwide client base of gastroenterologists, dermatologists, oncologists, urologists, gynecologists and their patients. The business purpose of the Joint Venture is to facilitate and capitalize on the combined capabilities, resources and healthcare industry relationships of its members by partnering, promoting and providing oncology services to office based physicians, hospitals and medical centers. Under the terms of the Joint Venture, Precipio SPV has a 49% ownership interest in the Joint Venture, with Poplar having a 51 % ownership. We have determined that we hold a variable interest in the Joint Venture and that we are the primary beneficiary of the Joint Venture. Due to this determination, we consolidate the Joint Venture. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report for further discussion. The Joint Venture was dissolved on November 1, 2023 with an effective date of December 31, 2022.

Going Concern

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable for a going concern, which assume that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and has used cash in its operating activities for the past several years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $6.8 million and net cash used in operating activities of $3.7 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $99.1 million and negative working capital of $1.1 million. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued is dependent upon a combination of achieving its business plan, including generating additional revenue, and raising additional financing to meet its debt obligations and paying liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

To meet its current and future obligations the Company has taken the following steps to capitalize the business and successfully achieve its business plan:

On April 14, 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement with AGP, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell its common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $5.8 million, to or through AGP, as sales agent (the “AGP 2023 Sales Agreement”). The sale of our shares of common stock to or through AGP, pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement, will be made pursuant to the registration statement (the “2023 Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-271277), filed by the Company with the SEC on April 14, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed by the Company with the SEC on April 25, 2023, and declared effective on April 27, 2023. As of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, we have received less than $1 thousand in gross proceeds through the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement from the sale of 25 shares of common stock. The Company approximately $3.8 million available for future sales pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned circumstances, there remains substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully achieve its initiatives summarized above in order to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern as a result of the outcome of this uncertainty.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Net Sales. Net sales were as follows:


	Dollars in Thousands
	Three Months Ended
	September 30,				Change
	2023		2022		$		%
Service revenue, net, less allowance for doubtful accounts	$	3,687	$	1,980	$	1,707	86	%
Other		831		235		596	254	%
Net Sales	$	4,518	$	2,215	$	2,303	104	%

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were approximately $4.5 million, an increase of $2.3 million as compared to the same period in 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, patient diagnostic service revenue increased $1.7 million as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was due to a greater number of cases processed in the current year period. We processed 2,105 cases during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 1,031 cases during the same period in 2022, or a 104% increase in cases. Other revenue increased by $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The other revenues were primarily related to increased sales of our HemeScreen product as a result of a greater number of customers purchasing reagents during the current year period.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes material and supply costs for the patient tests performed, costs related to HSRR products and other direct costs (primarily personnel costs, pathologist interpretation costs and rent) associated with the operations of our laboratory. Cost of sales increased by $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.

Gross Profit. Gross profit and gross margins were as follows:


	Dollars in Thousands
	Three Months Ended
	September 30,				Margin %
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Gross Profit	$	1,885	$	436	42	%	20	%

Gross margin was 42% of total net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 20% of total net sales for the same period in 2022. Gross profit was approximately $1.9 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The gross profit increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period, as a result of increases in case volume and revenue. We operate a fully staffed CLIA and CAP certified clinical pathology and molecular laboratory. As such, it is necessary to maintain appropriate staffing levels to provide industry standard laboratory processing and reporting to ordering physicians. An increase in case volume will enable our laboratory to yield economies of scale and to leverage fixed expenses.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, professional fees, travel costs, facility costs, stock-based compensation costs and depreciation and amortization. Our operating expenses decreased by $0.3 million to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The decreases included a decrease of $0.4 million in stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and a decrease in research and development expenses of $0.1 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in general and administrative expenses, which was due to an increase in personnel costs and legal and professional fee expenses, and an increase of $0.1 million in sales and marketing expenses due mainly to increased personnel costs associated with the increased revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Other (Expense) Income. We recorded net other expense of $7 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023 which was related to net interest expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded net other income of $0.1 million which was primarily attributable to non-cash income recorded on warrant revaluations and was partially offset by $6 thousand of net interest expense.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Net Sales. Net sales were as follows:

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were approximately $10.9 million, an increase of $3.8 million as compared to the same period in 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, patient diagnostic service revenue increased $2.4 million as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was due to a greater number of cases processed in the current year period. We processed 4,915 cases during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 3,037 cases during the same period in 2022, or a 62% increase in cases. Other revenue increased by $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The other revenues were primarily related to increased sales of our HemeScreen product as a result of a greater number of customers purchasing reagents during the current year period.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes material and supply costs for the patient tests performed, costs related to HSRR products and other direct costs (primarily personnel costs, pathologist interpretation costs and rent) associated with the operations of our laboratory. Cost of sales increased by $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.

	2023		2022		2023		2022
Gross Profit	$	4,005		1,912	37	%	27	%

Gross margin was 37% of total net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 27% of total net sales for the same period in 2022. Gross profit was approximately $4.0 million and $1.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The gross profit increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period, as a result of increases in case volume and revenue. We operate a fully staffed CLIA and CAP certified clinical pathology and molecular laboratory. As such, it is necessary to maintain

appropriate staffing levels to provide industry standard laboratory processing and reporting to ordering physicians. An increase in case volume will enable our laboratory to yield economies of scale and to leverage fixed expenses.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, professional fees, travel costs, facility costs, stock-based compensation costs and depreciation and amortization. Our operating expenses decreased by $1.6 million to $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease included a decrease of $0.2 million in general and administrative expenses, which was due to a decreases of $0.1 million in personnel costs and $0.1 million in legal and professional fee expenses, and a decrease of $2.2 million in stock-based compensation expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in sales and marketing expenses due mainly to increased personnel costs as we expanded our product sales force starting in the second half of 2022, and an increase in research and development expenses of less than $0.1 million.

Other (Expense) Income. We recorded net other expense $12 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 which was related to net interest expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded net other income of $0.6 million which was primarily attributable to non-cash income recorded on warrant revaluations and was partially offset by $6 thousand of net interest expense.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At each of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, other than certain purchase commitments of approximately $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. The purchase commitments are mostly for laboratory reagents used in our normal operating business.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

No significant changes to contractual obligations and commitments occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements may involve the use of management judgments and estimates. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical as they are both important to the portrayal of our financial statements and require significant or complex judgments on the part of management. Our judgments and estimates are based on experience and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Further, we evaluate our judgments and estimates from time to time as circumstances change. Actual financial results based on judgments or estimates may vary under different assumptions or circumstances. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 2 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation generally affects us with increased cost of labor and operating supplies. We do not believe that price inflation had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations during the periods presented.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and no evaluation of controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and concluded that there have not been any changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The outcome of legal proceedings and claims brought against us are subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, if one or more of these legal matters were resolved against us in the same reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, our financial statements for such reporting period could be materially adversely affected. In general, the resolution of a legal matter could prevent us from offering our services or products to others, could be material to our financial condition or cash flows, or both, or could otherwise adversely affect our operating results.

The Company is involved in legal proceedings related to matters, which are incidental to its business and is delinquent on the payment of outstanding accounts payable for certain vendors and suppliers who have taken or have threatened to take legal action to collect such outstanding amounts. See below for a discussion on these matters.

CPA Global provides us with certain patent management services. As previously reported, on February 6, 2017, CPA Global claimed that we owed approximately $0.2 million for certain patent maintenance services rendered. CPA Global has not filed claims against us in connection with this allegation. A liability of less than $0.1 million has been recorded and is reflected in accounts payable within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that may have a material effect on the operating results of our business and our financial condition. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We cannot be certain that we will achieve or sustain profitability.

We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to incur losses in the future. At September 30, 2023, we had working capital of negative $1.1 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had an operating cash flow deficit of $3.7 million and a net loss of $6.8 million. For the period ended September 30, 2023, we have experienced negative cash flow from development of our diagnostic technology, as well as from the costs associated with establishing a laboratory and building a sales force to market our products and services. We expect to incur substantial net losses through at least 2023 as we further develop and commercialize our diagnostic technology. We also expect that our selling,

Table of Contents

general and administrative expenses will continue to increase due to the additional costs associated with market development activities and expanding our staff to sell and support our products. Our ability to achieve or, if achieved, sustain profitability is based on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the market acceptance of our products, competitive product development and our market penetration and margins. We may never be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or, if achieved, sustain profitability.

We may need to raise substantial additional capital to commercialize our diagnostic technology, and our failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or collaboration efforts or force us to restrict or cease operations.

As of September 30, 2023, we had cash of $1.6 million and our working capital was negative $1.1 million. Due to our recurring losses from operations and the expectation that we will continue to incur losses in the future, we may be required to raise additional capital to complete the development and commercialization of our current product candidates and to pay off our obligations. To date, to fund our operations and develop and commercialize our products, we have relied primarily on equity and debt financings. In future periods, when we seek additional capital, we may seek to sell additional equity and/or debt securities or to obtain a credit facility, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, restrict or cease our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms.

If we fail to satisfy Nasdaq listing requirements and other rules, our securities may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities and hinder our ability to raise capital.

On October 28, 2022, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that for the past 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price per share of our common stock was below $1.00, the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). As a result, Nasdaq notified us that we were not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule. The notice from Nasdaq had no immediate effect on the listing of the shares of our common stock. Nasdaq provided us until April 26, 2023 to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

On April 27, 2023, Nasdaq notified us that we were eligible for an extension to comply with the Bid Price Rule until October 23, 2023, by which date we must regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule for at least ten consecutive business days along with compliance of other Nasdaq listing rules.

On September 21, 2023 we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, pursuant to which we effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our issued and outstanding common stock. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on September 21, 2023, and our common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on Nasdaq at the market open on September 22, 2023. On October 6, 2023, we received notification from Nasdaq that for ten consecutive business days, the closing bid price of our common stock was at least $1.00 per share, and accordingly, we regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, and that the matter is now closed.

However, we cannot guarantee continued satisfaction of the Nasdaq listing requirements and other rules in the future. If we fail to satisfy these requirements and rules and Nasdaq were to delist our securities, we could face significant consequences, including:

●

a limited availability for market quotations for our securities;

●

reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;

●

a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in reduced trading;

●

reduced activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock;

●

reduced or limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

●

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Table of Contents

These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our common stock and would substantially impair our ability to raise additional funds and could result in a loss of institutional investor interest and fewer development opportunities for us.

Our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent all possible errors that could occur.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate, and weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which we may be required to include in our periodic reports that we file with the SEC under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, or result in a restatement of our prior period financial statements. If we are not able to demonstrate compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, that our internal control over financial reporting is perceived as inadequate, or that we are unable to produce timely or accurate financial statements, investors may lose confidence in our operating results, and the price of our common stock could decline.

We are required to comply with certain of the SEC rules that implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment needs to include the disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by our management or our independent registered public accounting firm. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or if we are unable to complete our evaluation, testing, and any required remediation in a timely fashion, we will be unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

These developments could make it more difficult for us to retain qualified members of our Board of Directors, or qualified executive officers. We are presently evaluating and monitoring regulatory developments and cannot estimate the timing or magnitude of additional costs we may incur as a result. To the extent these costs are significant, our general and administrative expenses are likely to increase.

The sale or issuance of our common stock to, or through, AGP, or otherwise, may cause significant dilution and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by AGP or others, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

On April 14, 2023, we entered into a sales agreement with AGP, pursuant to which we may offer and sell our Common Stock, having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $5.8 million, to or through AGP, from time to time, in an at-the-market offering (the “2023 ATM Offering”). We are limited in the number of shares we can sell in the 2023 ATM Offering due to the offering limitations currently applicable to the Company under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3 and the Company’s public float as of the applicable date of such sales, as well as the number of authorized and unissued shares available for issuance, in accordance with the terms of the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement. Sales to, or through, AGP by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

Table of Contents

From April 14, 2023 through September 30, 2023, we received less than $1 thousand in gross proceeds through the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement from the sale of 25 shares of Common Stock. The Company has an additional $3.8 million available for future sales pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement.

We have issued a substantial number of warrants and equity awards from our equity plans which are exercisable into shares of our common stock which could result in substantial dilution to the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.

As of September 30, 2023, approximately 481,860 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise or conversion of outstanding warrants. Additionally, 234,213 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options. The exercise or conversion of these securities will result in a significant increase in the number of outstanding shares and substantially dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders. The shares underlying the equity awards from our equity plans are registered on a Form S-8 registration statement. As a result, upon vesting these shares can be freely exercised and sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to volume limitations applicable to affiliates. The exercise of options and the subsequent sale of the underlying common stock could cause a decline in our stock price. As of September 30, 2023, our outstanding warrants included 15,972 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of pre-funded warrants, which are already included in our calculation of our weighted average common shares outstanding.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market after the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement of June 2023 could cause our stock price to fall.

We sold 206,250 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 15,972 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 444,444 shares of common stock in our June 2023 registered direct offering and concurrent private placement. The sales of a substantial number of the shares and/or the exercise and sale of a substantial number of the pre-funded warrants and common warrants in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock. In addition, the sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely impact the price of our common stock. The sale, or the availability for sale, of a large number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

We may become subject to the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, False Claims Act, Civil Monetary Penalties Law and may be subject to analogous provisions of applicable state laws and could face substantial penalties if we fail to comply with such laws.

There are several federal laws addressing fraud and abuse that apply to businesses that receive reimbursement from a federal health care program. There are also a number of similar state laws covering fraud and abuse with respect to, for example, private payers, self-pay and insurance. Currently, we receive a substantial percentage of our revenue from private payers and from Medicare. Accordingly, our business is subject to federal fraud and abuse laws, such as the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, the False Claims Act, the Civil Monetary Penalties Law and other similar laws. Moreover, we are already subject to similar state laws. We believe we have operated, and intend to continue to operate, our business in compliance with these laws. However, these laws are subject to modification and changes in interpretation, and are enforced by authorities vested with broad discretion. Federal and state enforcement entities have significantly increased their scrutiny of healthcare companies and providers which has led to investigations, prosecutions, convictions and large settlements. We continually monitor developments in this area. If these laws are interpreted in a manner contrary to our interpretation or are reinterpreted or amended, or if new legislation is enacted with respect to healthcare fraud and abuse, illegal remuneration, or similar issues, we may be required to restructure our affected operations to maintain compliance with applicable law. There can be no assurances that any such restructuring will be possible or, if possible, would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

subject to analogous provisions of applicable state laws and could face substantial penalties if we fail to comply with such laws” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Disruptions at the FDA and other government agencies caused by funding shortages could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, prevent new products and services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner, or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal business functions, which could negatively impact our business.

The ability of the FDA to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory, and policy changes. Average review times at the agency have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of government agencies on which our operations may rely is subject to the impacts of political events, which are inherently fluid and unpredictable.

Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which could adversely affect our business. For example, over the last several years, the U.S. government has shut down several times and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, have had to furlough critical FDA, SEC and other government employees and stop critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

There have been no other material changes from the risk factors disclosed in “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report. The above risk factor should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed therein.
