Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.     Organization, Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, 2019 Offerings, Forbearance Agreements, Standstill Agreements, Recently Adopted Accounting Standard, and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We are an emerging leader in enabling precision medicine in oncology by providing multi-disciplinary diagnostic and data solutions, facilitating individualized therapies through our diagnostic tests, services and molecular markers. We develop, commercialize and provide molecular- and biomarker-based tests and services, including proprietary preclinical oncology and immuno-oncology services, that enable biotech and pharmaceutical companies engaged in oncology and immuno-oncology trials to better select candidate populations and reduce adverse drug reactions by providing information regarding genomic and molecular factors influencing subject responses to therapeutics. Through our clinical services, we enable physicians to personalize the clinical management of each individual patient by providing genomic information to better diagnose, monitor and inform cancer treatment. We have a comprehensive, disease-focused oncology testing portfolio, and extensive set of anti-tumor referenced data based on predictive xenograft and syngeneic tumor models. Our tests and techniques target a wide range of indications, covering all ten of the top cancers in prevalence in the United States, with additional unique capabilities offered by our FDA-cleared Tissue of Origin® test for identifying difficult to diagnose tumor types or poorly differentiated metastatic disease. Following the acquisition of vivoPharm, Pty Ltd. (“vivoPharm”) we provide contract research services, focused primarily on unique specialized studies to guide drug discovery and development programs in the oncology and immuno-oncology fields.

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 8, 1999 and currently have offices and state-of-the-art laboratories located in New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Australia. Our laboratories comply with the highest regulatory standards as appropriate for the services they deliver including CLIA, CAP, and NY State. Our services are built on a foundation of world-class scientific knowledge and intellectual property in solid and blood-borne cancers, as well as strong academic relationships with major cancer centers such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Mayo Clinic, and the National Cancer Institute. We offer preclinical services such as predictive tumor models, human orthotopic xenografts and syngeneic immuno-oncology relevant tumor models in our Hershey PA facility, and a leader in the field of immuno-oncology preclinical services in the United States. This service is supplemented with GLP toxicology and extended bioanalytical services in our Australian based facility in Bundoora VIC.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for interim reporting as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company evaluates its debt and equity issuances to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives requiring separate recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability and the change in fair value is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated results of operations. In circumstances where there are multiple embedded instruments that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

Table of Contents

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption and are classified in interest expense in the consolidated results of operations.

2019 Offerings

On January 9, 2019, we entered into an underwriting agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“H.C. Wainwright”), relating to an underwritten public offering of 13,333,334 shares of our common stock for $0.225 per share. We received proceeds from the offering of approximately $2,437,000, net of expenses and discounts of approximately $563,000. We also issued warrants to purchase 933,334 shares of common stock to H.C. Wainwright in connection with this offering. The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at a per share price of $0.2475.

On January 26, 2019, we issued 15,217,392 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $0.23 per share. We received proceeds from the offering of approximately $2,975,000, net of expenses and discounts of approximately $525,000. We also issued warrants to purchase 1,065,217 shares of common stock to the underwriter, H.C. Wainwright, in connection with this offering. The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at a per share price of $0.253.

The January 9, 2019 and January 26, 2019 offerings will be referred to collectively as the “2019 Offerings.” As disclosed in Note 13, certain of our directors and executive officers purchased shares in the 2019 Offerings at the public offering price.

Forbearance Agreements

On January 16, 2019, we entered into forbearance agreements with both Partners for Growth IV, L.P. (“PFG”) and Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) that among other things, (i) required us to comply with certain milestones in connection with a potential strategic transaction satisfactory to PFG and SVB with an anticipated closing date of on or before April 15, 2019 (the “Milestones”), and (ii) provided for PFG and SVB’s forbearance of their respective rights and remedies resulting from existing and stated potential events of default under the $6.0 million term note (“PFG Term Note”) and SVB asset-based line of credit (“ABL”) until the earlier of (a) the occurrence of an additional event of default or (b) February 15, 2019; provided such date was to automatically extend to (1) February 28, 2019 and then to (2) April 15, 2019 so long as we were in compliance with the Milestones required as of such dates. In addition, the ABL interest rate was increased to 2.25% over the Wall Street Journal prime rate, and the maturity date was extended until April 15, 2019. While the expired forbearance agreements with PFG and SVB acknowledged that we were and anticipated that we would be in violation of certain financial and other covenants of the ABL and the PFG Term Note as of December 31, 2018, January 31, 2019, February 28, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the ABL is currently past its maturity date. We are in discussions with SVB and PFG about possible extensions of the forbearance agreements and of the maturity of the ABL as part of the overall strategic process.

Standstill Agreements

On February 15, 2019, we entered into a standstill agreement with Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. (“Iliad”), related to the $2,625,000 convertible promissory note dated July 17, 2018 (“Convertible Note”) described further in Note 6. The standstill agreement, among other things, provided that Iliad will not seek to redeem any portion of the Convertible Note until April 15, 2019 (the “Standstill”) and increased the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note by approximately $202,000, representing a fee to Iliad for such Standstill. In May 2019, we entered into a second standstill agreement with Iliad (“Second Standstill”). The Second Standstill provides that Iliad will not seek to redeem any portion of the Convertible Note until May 31, 2019. In consideration for the Second Standstill, we agreed to adjust the conversion price on the first $1,250,000 of our debt to Iliad from $0.80 to $0.2273. The Standstill and Second Standstill are referred to collectively as the Standstill Agreements. In May 2019, Iliad converted $350,000 of the Convertible Note balance into 1,539,815 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.2273 per share.

Advance from NovellusDx, Ltd.

On September 18, 2018, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (“Merger Agreement”) with NovellusDx, Ltd. (“NDX”). In connection with signing the Merger Agreement, NDX loaned us $1,500,000 (“Advance from NDX”). Interest accrued on the outstanding balance at 10.75% per annum until we terminated the Merger Agreement on December 15, 2018. As a result of the termination, the Advance from NDX, plus interest thereon, became due and payable on March 15, 2019. The Company and NDX are currently negotiating a possible resolution or settlement of the Advance from NDX.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, which supersedes the guidance in former ASC 840, Leases, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements (with the exception of short-term leases).
In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-11 to the existing transition guidance that allows entities to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the period of adoption. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 using this new transition guidance. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those periods.
We have elected to use the package of practical expedients, which allows us to not (1) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (2) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) reassess the initial direct costs for any existing leases. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment.
The most significant impact of adopting ASC 842 is related to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. Our accounting for finance leases remains substantially unchanged. The adoption of ASC 842 had no impact on our consolidated statements of operations or total cash flows from operations.
The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2019 balance sheet for the adoption of ASC 842 were as follows (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. The update will become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and may be adopted either retrospectively or prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this standard prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and whether or not to early adopt.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment,” which removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and applied prospectively. We do not expect ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Going Concern

At March 31, 2019, our cash position and history of losses required management to assess our ability to continue operating as a going concern, according to FASB ASC 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going

Concern. The Company does not have sufficient cash at March 31, 2019 to fund normal operations beyond the next three months from the date of this report. In addition, while the expired forbearance agreements with PFG and SVB acknowledged that we were and anticipated that we would be in violation of certain financial and other covenants of the ABL and the PFG Term Note as of December 31, 2018, January 31, 2019, February 28, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the ABL is currently past its maturity date. We are in discussions with SVB and PFG about possible extensions of the forbearance agreements and of the maturity of the ABL as part of the overall strategic process. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to extend the forbearance agreements and the term of the ABL, raise additional equity or debt capital or spin-off non-core assets to raise additional cash. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.5 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million at March 31, 2019, an increase from $0.2 million at December 31, 2018. The Company has negative working capital at March 31, 2019 of $18.0 million.

The Company currently requires a significant amount of additional capital to fund operations and pay its accounts payable, and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise such additional capital and achieve profitability. Raymond James & Associates, Inc. continues to assist us with evaluating strategic options. Such options could include raising more capital, the sale of the Company or another type of strategic partnership. We have reduced our cost of sales and operating expenses by migrating our California laboratory services to New Jersey and North Carolina during the third quarter of 2018, and we are continuing to pursue strategies to reduce our operating costs. We can provide no assurances that our current actions will be successful or that additional sources of financing with be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. If the Company is not able to raise such additional capital on a timely basis or on favorable terms, the Company may need to scale back or, in extreme cases, discontinue its operations or liquidate its assets.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

We have historically derived a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of test ordering sites. Test ordering sites account for all of our Clinical Services revenue. Our test ordering sites are largely hospitals, cancer centers, reference laboratories, physician offices and biopharmaceutical companies. Oncologists and pathologists at these sites order the tests on behalf of the needs of their oncology patients or as part of a clinical trial sponsored by a biopharmaceutical company in which the patient is being enrolled. We generally do not have formal, long-term written agreements with such test ordering sites, and, as a result, we may lose a significant test ordering site at any time, except with biopharmaceutical companies.

Remaining Performance Obligations:

Services offered under the Biopharma and Discovery Services frequently take time to complete under their respective contacts. These times vary depending on specific contract arrangements including the length of the study and how samples are delivered to us for processing. In the case of Clinical Services and Discovery Services, the duration of performance obligations is less than one year. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $36.8 million in remaining performance obligations in the Biopharma Services area. We expect to recognize the remaining performance obligations over the next two years.

Note 5. Leasing Arrangements

Operating Leases

We lease our laboratory, research facility and administrative office space under various operating leases. We also lease office and scientific equipment under various finance leases.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in fixed assets, net of accumulated depreciation and obligations under finance leases.

Table of Contents

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our incremental borrowing rate was determined by adjusting our secured borrowing interest rate for the longer-term nature of our leases. Our variable lease payments primarily consist of maintenance and other operating expenses from our real estate leases. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. We have elected to account for these lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We are also electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of twelve months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 6. Financing

Term Note and Line of Credit


10

Table of Contents

On March 22, 2017, we entered into a two year asset-based revolving line of credit agreement (“ABL”) with SVB. The SVB credit facility provided for an ABL for an amount not to exceed the lesser of (a) $6.0 million or (b) 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 50% of the net collectible value of third party accounts receivable or three (3) times the average monthly collection amount of third party accounts receivable over the previous quarter. The ABL required monthly interest payments at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.50% and was scheduled to mature on March 22, 2019. We also pay a fee of 0.25% per year on the average unused portion of the ABL. In August 2018, the maximum borrowings were reduced from $6.0 million to $3.0 million. In January 2019, the interest rate was adjusted to the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 2.25% (7.75% at March 31, 2019) and the maturity date was extended through April 15, 2019, subject to the Company satisfying certain milestones of the forbearance agreement discussed in Note 1. At March 31, 2019, we have borrowings of approximately $2.4 million on the ABL.

We concurrently entered into the PFG Term Note, which is a three year $6.0 million term loan agreement. The PFG Term Note is an interest only loan with the full principal and any outstanding interest due at maturity on March 22, 2020. Interest is payable monthly at a rate of 11.5% per annum. We may prepay the PFG Term Note in whole or part at any time without penalty. At March 31, 2019, the principal amount of the PFG Term Note was $6,000,000.

Both loan agreements require us to comply with certain financial covenants, including minimum adjusted EBITDA, revenue and liquidity covenants, and restrict us from, among other things, paying cash dividends, incurring debt and entering into certain transactions without the prior consent of the lenders. Repayment of amounts borrowed under the loan agreements may be accelerated if an event of default occurs, which includes, among other things, a violation of such financial covenants and negative covenants. While the expired forbearance agreements with PFG and SVB acknowledged that we were and anticipated that we would be in violation of certain financial and other covenants of the ABL and the PFG Term Note as of December 31, 2018, January 31, 2019, February 28, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the ABL is currently past its maturity date. We are in discussions with SVB and PFG about possible extensions of the forbearance agreements and of the maturity of the ABL as part of the overall strategic process. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred approximately $167,000 of lender fees associated with the forbearance agreements that were expensed due to prior and expected future violations of the covenants.

Our obligations to SVB under the ABL facility are secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all of our assets, and our obligations under the PFG Term Note are secured by a second priority security interest subordinated to the SVB lien.

Convertible Note

On July 17, 2018, the Company entered into the Convertible Note, pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible promissory note to an institutional accredited investor in the initial principal amount of $2,625,000. The Company received consideration of $2,500,000, reflecting an original issue discount of $100,000, a beneficial conversion feature discount of approximately $328,000 and expenses payable by the Company of $25,000. The Convertible Note has an 18 month term and carries interest at 10% per annum. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.80 per share (“Conversion Price”) upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments (standard dilution) and ownership limitations specified in the Convertible Note. In May 2019, the conversion price was reduced to $0.2273 for $1,250,000 of the balance of the Convertible Note; the remainder is still convertible at $0.80.

Prior to the Standstill Agreements, the investor could redeem any portion of the Convertible Note upon five trading days’ notice, beginning January 17, 2019, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $650,000, with the Company having the option to pay such redemptions in cash, the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price, or by a combination thereof, subject to certain conditions, including that the stock price is $1.00 per share or higher. After taking into consideration the Standstill Agreements, Iliad cannot request a monthly redemption until June 1, 2019. The Company may prepay the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note, in part or in full, at a 10% premium to par value if prior to the one year anniversary of the date of issuance and at par if prepaid thereafter. At maturity, the Company may pay the outstanding balance in cash, the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price, or by a combination thereof, subject to certain conditions. The note provides that in the event of default, the lender may, at its option, elect to increase the outstanding balance applying the default effect (defined as outstanding balance at date of default multiplied by 15% plus outstanding amount) by providing written notice to the Company. In addition, the interest rate increases to 22% upon default. The default effect and default interest rate provisions qualify as embedded derivatives with an estimated fair value of $55,000 at March 31, 2019.

The Convertible Note is the general unsecured obligation of the Company and is subordinated in right of payment to the ABL and PFG Term Note. The following is a summary of the Convertible Note balance at March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

In May 2019, Iliad converted $350,000 of the Convertible Note balance into 1,539,815 shares of our common stock at $0.2273 per share.

Advance from NDX

On September 18, 2018, we entered into the Merger Agreement with NDX. In connection with signing the Merger Agreement, NDX loaned us $1,500,000. Interest accrued on the outstanding balance at 10.75% per annum until we terminated the Merger Agreement on December 15, 2018. As a result of the termination, the Advance from NDX, plus interest thereon, became due and payable on March 15, 2019. The termination was a specified event of default, so on December 15, 2018, the interest rate was increased to 21%. The default also gives NDX the right to convert all, but not less than all, of the outstanding balance into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.606 per share. At March 31, 2019, the principal balance of the Advance from NDX was $1,500,000.

The Advance from NDX is the general unsecured obligation of the Company and is subordinated in right of payment to the ABL and PFG Term Note, provided that NDX has asserted that its obligation to standstill under its subordination agreements will not be applicable at a time when the Company attains certain levels of unrestricted cash, as a result of the Company having improperly terminated the Merger Agreement. The Company does not believe it improperly terminated the Merger Agreement. The Company and NDX are currently negotiating a possible resolution or settlement of the Advance from NDX.

Note 7. Capital Stock

2019 Offerings

On January 9, 2019, we entered into an underwriting agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“H.C. Wainwright”), relating to an underwritten public offering of 13,333,334 shares of our common stock for $0.225 per share. We received proceeds from the offering of approximately $2,437,000, net of expenses and discounts of approximately $563,000.

On January 26, 2019, we issued 15,217,392 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $0.23 per share. We received proceeds from the offering of approximately $2,975,000, net of expenses and discounts of approximately $525,000.

In May 2019, Iliad converted $350,000 of the Convertible Note into an aggregate of 1,539,815 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.2273 per share.

Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation

We have two equity incentive plans: the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”) and the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”, and together with the 2008 Plan, the “Stock Option Plans”). The Stock Option Plans are meant to provide additional incentive to officers, employees and consultants to remain in our employment. Options granted are generally exercisable for up to 10 years. Effective April 9, 2018, the Company cannot issue additional options from the 2008 Plan.

At March 31, 2019, 730,051 shares remain available for future awards under the 2011 Plan.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the fair value of our common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options.

As of March 31, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted to employees was $780,553 which we expect to recognize over the next 3.20 years.

The fair value of options granted to employees is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This valuation model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term (the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of our common stock, a risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. Forfeitures will be recorded when they occur. No compensation cost is recorded for options that do not vest. We use the simplified calculation of expected life described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment, and volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. We use an expected dividend yield of zero, as we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted to employees during the periods presented:

Note 11. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, the Topic establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that give the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had a liability payable to VenturEast from a prior acquisition. The ultimate payment to VenturEast will be the fair value of 84,278 shares of our common stock at the time of payment. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded a gain of approximately $17,000 due to the change in value of the note. No adjustment was required during the three months ended March 31, 2019, as the closing price of our common stock on March 31, 2019 was the same as it was on December 31, 2018.

At March 31, 2019, the warrant liability consists of stock warrants issued as part of the 2016 Offerings and 2017 Offering that contain contingent net settlement features. In accordance with derivative accounting for warrants, we calculated the fair value of warrants and the assumptions used are described in Note 10, “Fair Value of Warrants.” During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized a loss of approximately $7,000 on the derivative warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded a gain of approximately $692,000 on the derivative warrants primarily due to changes in our stock price.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value of the VenturEast note, warrant liability and other derivatives are included in other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss.

Note 12. Joint Venture Agreement

In November 2011, we entered into an affiliation agreement with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”), subsequently amended. Under the agreement, we formed a joint venture with Mayo in May 2013 to focus on developing oncology diagnostic services and tests utilizing next generation sequencing. The joint venture is a limited liability

16

Table of Contents

company, with each party initially holding fifty percent of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the new entity (the “JV”).

The agreement requires aggregate capital contributions by us of up to $6.0 million, of which $2.0 million has been paid to date. The timing of the remaining installments is subject to the JV's achievement of certain operational milestones agreed upon by the board of governors of the JV. In exchange for its membership interest, Mayo’s capital contribution takes the form of cash, staff, services, hardware and software resources, laboratory space and instrumentation, the fair market value of which will be approximately equal to $6.0 million. Mayo’s continued contribution will also be conditioned upon the JV’s achievement of certain milestones. We are in the process of winding down the JV.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there was no activity in the JV. Our share of the JV’s net loss was approximately $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and is included in research and development expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss. We have a net receivable due from the JV of approximately $10,000 at March 31, 2019, which is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The joint venture is considered a variable interest entity under ASC 810-10, but we are not the primary beneficiary as we do not have the power to direct the activities of the JV that most significantly impact its performance. Our evaluation of ability to impact performance is based on our equal board membership and voting rights and day-to-day management functions which are performed by the Mayo personnel.

Note 13. Related Party Transactions

We had a consulting agreement with Equity Dynamics, Inc. (“EDI”), an entity controlled by the Chairman of our Board of Directors, John Pappajohn, effective April 1, 2014 through August 31, 2018, pursuant to which EDI received a monthly fee of $10,000. Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $30,000. As of March 31, 2019, we owed EDI $70,000.

As described in Note 1, the Company closed two public offerings in January 2019, in which various executives and directors purchased shares at the public offering price. On January 14, 2019, John Pappajohn, John Roberts, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Geoffrey Harris, a Director, purchased 1,000,000 shares, 100,000 shares and 100,000 shares, respectively, at the public offering price of $0.225 per share. On January 31, 2019, John Pappajohn, John Roberts, Edmund Cannon, a Director, and M. Glenn Miles, our Chief Financial Officer, purchased 1,000,000 shares, 185,436 shares, 43,479 shares and 150,000 shares, respectively, at the public offering price of $0.23 per share.

Note 14. Contingencies

On April 5, 2018 and April 12, 2018, purported stockholders of the Company filed nearly identical putative class action lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, against the Company, Panna L. Sharma, John A. Roberts, and Igor Gitelman, captioned Ben Phetteplace v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al., No. 2:18-cv-05612 and Ruo Fen Zhang v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al., No. 2:18-06353, respectively. The complaints alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions regarding our business, operational, and financial results. The lawsuits sought, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages in connection with purchases of our stock between March 23, 2017 and April 2, 2018, as well as interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs. On August 28, 2018, the Court consolidated the two actions in one action captioned In re Cancer Genetics, Inc. Securities Litigation (the “Securities Litigation”) and appointed shareholder Randy Clark as the lead plaintiff. On October 30, 2018, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, adding Edward Sitar as a defendant and seeking, among other things, compensatory damages in connection with purchases of CGI stock between March 10, 2016 and April 2, 2018. On December 31, 2018, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the Securities Litigation and therefore cannot estimate possible losses or ranges of losses, if any.

In addition, on June 1, 2018, September 20, 2018, and September 25, 2018, purported stockholders of the Company filed nearly identical derivative lawsuits on behalf of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company (as a nominal defendant) and current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors and current and former officers of the Company. The three cases are captioned: Bell v. Sharma et al., No. 2:18-cv-10009-CCC-MF, McNeece v. Pappajohn et al., No. 2:18-cv-14093, and Workman v. Pappajohn, et al., No. 2:18-cv-14259 (the “Derivative Litigation”). The complaints allege claims for breach of fiduciary duty, violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (premised upon alleged omissions in the Company’s 2017 proxy statement), and unjust enrichment, and allege that the individual defendants failed to implement and maintain adequate controls, which resulted in ineffective disclosure controls and

17

Table of Contents

procedures, and conspired to conceal this alleged failure. The lawsuits seek, among other things, damages and/or restitution to the Company, appropriate equitable relief to remedy the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On November 9, 2018, the Court in the Bell v. Sharma action entered a stipulation filed by the parties staying the Bell action until the Securities Litigation is dismissed, with prejudice, and all appeals have been exhausted; or the defendants’ motion to dismiss in the Securities Litigation is denied in whole or in part; or either of the parties in the Bell action gives 30 days’ notice that they no longer consent to the stay. On December 10, 2018, the parties in the McNeece action filed a stipulation that is substantially identical to the Bell stipulation. On February 1, 2019, the Court in the Workman action granted a stipulation that is substantially identical to the Bell stipulation. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the Derivative Litigation and therefore cannot estimate possible losses or ranges of losses, if any.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

Sale of NOL’s

On April 4, 2019, we sold $11,638,516 of gross State of New Jersey NOL’s relating to the 2017 tax year as well as $71,968 of state research and development tax credits. The sale resulted in the net receipt by the Company of approximately $512,000. This figure includes all costs and expenses associated with the sale of these state tax attributes as deducted from the gross sales price of approximately $521,000.

Second Standstill

On May 3, 2019, we entered into the Second Standstill with Iliad. The Second Standstill provides that Iliad will not seek to redeem any portion of the Convertible Note until May 31, 2019. In consideration for the Second Standstill, we agreed to adjust the conversion price on the first $1,250,000 of our debt to Iliad from $0.80 to $0.2273. The remaining balance will still be convertible at $0.80 per share. On May 6, 2019 and May 8, 2019, Iliad converted an aggregate of $350,000 of the Convertible Note balance into 1,539,815 shares of our common stock at $0.2273 per share.

Nasdaq Notifications

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other requirements including, without limitation, a requirement that our closing bid price be at least $1.00 per share and that we hold an annual meeting of stockholders within twelve months of the end of our fiscal year. In addition, on January 29, 2019, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was required to seek stockholder approval of the execution of the NDX Credit Agreement, under which the Company was advanced $1,500,000, the outstanding balance of which, including interest, is convertible, at the option of NDX, into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.606 per share, due to the potential for the Company, upon a conversion of such outstanding balance, with interest, to be required to issue common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock on the day of execution of such agreement in excess of 20% of the pre-transaction outstanding shares of common stock, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (the “Approval Requirement”).

Nasdaq’s notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(C), the Company had 45 calendar days from January 29, 2019 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Approval Requirement, which the Company submitted on March 15, 2019, and which was approved on May 15, 2019, subject to the Company’s shareholders approving the potential issuances to Novellus at the annual meeting of shareholders currently scheduled for May 31, 2019, or the Company otherwise curing the deficiency on or before May 31, 2019. There can be no assurance that the shareholders will approve such issuances.

On January 3, 2019, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff Nasdaq notifying us that we no longer comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) due to our failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within twelve months of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting Requirement”). We had 45 calendar days from January 3, 2019, or until February 19, 2019, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Annual Meeting Requirement, which we submitted on February 19, 2019. On May 15, 2019, Nasdaq accepted our plan subject to our holding our annual meeting on May 31, 2019.

On November 13, 2018, we received a written notice from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We had 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance, or until May 13, 2019, which we did not do. On May 15, 2019, Nasdaq granted us an additional 180 days within which to regain compliance.

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

As used herein, the “Company,” “CGI,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms, refer to Cancer Genetics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries at March 31, 2019: Cancer Genetics Italia, S.r.l., Gentris, LLC, and vivoPharm Pty, Ltd, except as expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help facilitate an understanding of our financial condition and our historical results of operations for the periods presented. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2019. This MD&A may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Overview

We are an emerging leader in enabling precision medicine in oncology by providing multi-disciplinary diagnostic and data solutions, facilitating individualized therapies through our diagnostic tests, services and molecular markers. We develop, commercialize and provide molecular- and biomarker-based tests and services, including proprietary preclinical oncology and immuno-oncology services, that enable biotech and pharmaceutical companies engaged in oncology trials to better select candidate populations and reduce adverse drug reactions by providing information regarding genomic factors influencing subject responses to therapeutics. Through our clinical services, we enable physicians to personalize the clinical management of each individual patient by providing genomic information to better diagnose, monitor and inform cancer treatment. We have a comprehensive, disease-focused oncology testing portfolio, and an extensive set of anti-tumor referenced data based on predictive xenograft and syngeneic tumor models. Our tests and techniques target a wide range of indications, covering all ten of the top cancers in prevalence in the United States, with additional unique capabilities offered by our FDA-cleared Tissue of Origin® test for identifying difficult to diagnose tumor types or poorly differentiated metastatic disease. Following the acquisition of vivoPharm Pty Ltd (“vivoPharm”) we provide contract research services, focused primarily on unique specialized studies to guide drug discovery and development programs in the oncology and immuno-oncology fields.

We are currently executing a strategy of partnering with pharmaceutical and biotech companies and clinicians as oncology diagnostic specialists by supporting therapeutic discovery, development and patient care. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies are increasingly attracted to work with us to provide molecular profiles on clinical trial participants. Similarly, we believe the oncology industry is undergoing a rapid evolution in its approach to diagnostic, prognostic and treatment outcomes (theranostic) testing, embracing precision medicine and individualized testing as a means to drive higher standards of patient treatment and disease management. These profiles may help identify biomarker and genomic variations that may be responsible for differing responses to oncology therapies, thereby increasing the efficiency of trials while lowering costs. We believe tailored and combination therapies can revolutionize oncology care through molecular- and biomarker-based testing services, enabling physicians and researchers to target the factors that make each patient and disease unique.

We believe the next shift in cancer management will bring together testing capabilities for germline, or inherited mutations, and somatic mutations that arise in tissues over the course of a lifetime. We have created a unique position in the industry by providing both targeted somatic analysis of tumor sample cells alongside germline analysis of an individual's non-cancerous cells' molecular profile as we attempt to continue achieving milestones in precision medicine.

Our clinical offerings include our portfolio of proprietary tests targeting hematological, urogenital and HPV-associated cancers, in conjunction with ancillary non-proprietary tests. Our proprietary tests target cancers that are difficult to prognose and predict treatment outcomes through currently available mainstream techniques. We provide our proprietary tests and services, along with a comprehensive range of non-proprietary oncology-focused tests and laboratory services, to oncologists and pathologists at hospitals, cancer centers, and physician offices, as well as biotech and pharmaceutical companies to support their clinical trials. Our proprietary tests are based principally on our expertise in specific cancer types, test development methodologies and proprietary algorithms correlating genetic events with disease specific information. Our portfolio primarily includes comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) microarrays and next generation sequencing (NGS) panels, gene expression tests, and DNA fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) probes.

The non-proprietary testing services we offer are focused in part on specific oncology categories where we are developing our proprietary tests. We believe that there is significant synergy in developing and marketing a complete set of tests and services that are disease focused and delivering those tests and services in a comprehensive manner to help with treatment decisions. The insight that we develop in delivering the non-proprietary services are often leveraged in the development of our proprietary programs and now increasingly in the validation of our proprietary programs, such as Focus::NGS.

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.5 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million at March 31, 2019, an increase from $0.2 million at December 31, 2018. The Company has negative working capital at March 31, 2019 of $18.0 million.

The Company currently requires a significant amount of additional capital to fund operations and pay its accounts payable, and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise such additional capital and achieve profitability. If the Company is not able to raise such additional capital on a timely basis or on favorable terms, the Company may need to scale back or, in extreme cases, discontinue its operations or liquidate its assets.

While we have implemented an aggressive consolidation strategy to reduce our operating costs in 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, including the closure of our California laboratory and facility, we expect to continue to incur material losses for the near future. We incurred losses of $20.4 million and $20.9 million for fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $162.3 million. We need to raise additional capital or execute on our plans to execute a strategic transaction. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, or that we will complete a strategic transaction. In addition, we are in default of certain financial covenants in our credit agreements with our senior lenders and our ABL matured on April 15, 2019. While the expired forbearance agreements with PFG and SVB acknowledging that we were and anticipating that we would be in violation of certain financial and other covenants of the ABL and the PFG Term Note as of December 31, 2018, January 31, 2019, February 28, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the ABL is currently past its maturity date. We are in discussions with SVB and PFG about possible extensions of the forbearance agreements and of the maturity of the ABL as part of the overall strategic process.

2019 Offerings

In January 2019, we closed two public offerings and issued an aggregate of 28,550,726 shares of common stock for approximately $5.4 million, net of expenses and discounts of approximately $1.1 million. The Company also issued 1,998,551 warrants to its underwriters in conjunction with these offerings.

Key Factors Affecting our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Our overall long-term growth plan is predicated on our ability to develop or acquire technology solutions to accelerate the penetration into the Biopharma community to achieve more revenue supporting clinical trials and develop and commercialize unique or proprietary services and tests to achieve sustainable organic growth. Our unique and proprietary tests include CGH microarrays, NGS panels, and DNA FISH probes. To facilitate market adoption of our proprietary tests, we anticipate having to successfully complete additional studies with clinical samples and publish our results in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Our ability to complete such studies is dependent upon our ability to leverage our collaborative relationships with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and leading institutions to facilitate our research and obtain data for our quality assurance and test validation efforts.

We believe that the factors discussed in the following paragraphs have had and are expected to continue to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Revenues

Our revenue is generated through our Biopharma Services, Discovery Services and Clinical Services. Biopharma Services are billed to the customer directly. While we have agreements with our Biopharma clients, volumes from these clients are subject to the progression and continuation of the clinical trials which can impact testing volume. We also derive revenue from Discovery Services, which are services provided in the development of new compounds testing assays and methods and include pre-clinical toxicology and efficacy studies. Discovery Services are billed directly to the customer. Our Clinical Services can be billed to Medicare, another third party insurer or the referring community hospital or other healthcare facility, or patients in accordance with state and federal law.

We have historically derived a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of test ordering sites, although the test ordering sites that generate a significant portion of our revenue have changed from period to period. Test ordering sites account for all of our Clinical Services revenue along with a portion of the Biopharma Services revenue. Our test ordering sites are hospitals, cancer centers, reference laboratories, physician offices, and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Oncologists and pathologists at these sites order the tests on behalf of their oncology patients or as part of a clinical trial sponsored by a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company in which the patient is being enrolled.

Table of Contents

We receive revenue for our Clinical Services from Medicare, other insurance carriers and other healthcare facilities. Some of our customers choose, generally at the beginning of our relationship, to pay for laboratory services directly as opposed to having patients (or their insurers) pay for those services and providing us with the patients’ insurance information. A hospital may elect to be a direct bill customer and pay our bills directly, or may provide us with patient information so that their patients pay our bills, in which case we generally expect payment from their private insurance carrier or Medicare. In a few instances, we have arrangements where a hospital may have two accounts with us, so that certain tests are billed directly to the hospital, and certain tests are billed to and paid by a patient’s insurer. The billing arrangements generally are dictated by our customers and in accordance with state and federal law. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, Medicare and other third party payors accounted for approximately 5% and 15% of our total revenue, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues consists principally of internal personnel costs, including non-cash stock-based compensation, laboratory consumables, shipping costs, overhead and other direct expenses, such as specimen procurement and third party validation studies. We are pursuing various strategies to reduce and control our cost of revenues, including automating our processes through more efficient technology and attempting to negotiate improved terms with our suppliers. Overall, we have made significant progress with integrating our resources and services and leveraging enterprise wide purchasing power to gain supplier discounts, in an effort to reduce costs. We will continue to assess other possible advantages to help us improve our cost structure, including other consolidations of operations and further reductions in headcount.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expenses into four categories: research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and merger costs. Our operating expenses principally consist of personnel costs, including non-cash stock-based compensation, outside services, laboratory consumables and overhead, development costs, marketing program costs and legal and accounting fees.

Research and Development Expenses. We incur research and development expenses principally in connection with our efforts to develop our proprietary tests. Our primary research and development expenses consist of direct personnel costs, laboratory equipment and consumables and overhead expenses. All research and development expenses are charged to operations in the periods they are incurred.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist principally of personnel-related expenses, professional fees, such as legal, accounting and business consultants, occupancy costs, bad debt and other general expenses. We have incurred increases in our general and administrative expenses and anticipate only modest increases as we expand our business operations.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Our sales and marketing expenses consist principally of personnel and related overhead costs for our sales team and their support personnel, travel and entertainment expenses, and other selling costs including sales collaterals and trade shows. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to decrease as we expand into existing geographies and customize clinical tests and services.

Merger Costs. In the pursuit of various strategic options for the Company, legal and other professional costs are incurred while evaluating, negotiating, executing and implementing merger and acquisition alternatives. While this expense is a non-recurring cost, until such time as we complete a strategic transaction, we expect to incur these expenses in the near term.

Seasonality

Our business experiences decreased demand during spring vacation season, summer months and the December holiday season when patients are less likely to visit their health care providers. We expect this trend in seasonality to continue for the foreseeable future.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the table below contains non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are helpful in understanding and comparing our past financial performance and our future results. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company exclude the non- operating changes in the fair value of derivative instruments. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about the Company’s core operating results and thus are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past financial performance and its prospects for the future. The non-GAAP financial measures in the table below include adjusted net (loss) and the related adjusted basic and diluted net (loss) per share amounts.

Revenue decreased 11%, or $0.8 million, to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, principally due to a decrease in Clinical Services of $1.0 million, partially offset by an increase in Biopharma Services of $0.3 million.

Revenue from Biopharma Services increased 8%, or $0.3 million, to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 due to the ongoing delivery of our services under existing contracts and the continued demand for our services. Revenue from Clinical Services customers decreased by $1.0 million, or 42%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to the reduction in number of direct sales personnel and the elimination of certain tests from our testing requisition forms. Revenue from Discovery Services decreased 9%, or $0.1 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to the sale of our India subsidiary in April 2018, which accounted for $0.2 million of our Discovery Services revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues decreased $0.4 million to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, principally due to decreased payroll and benefit costs of $0.4 million and decline in facility costs and depreciation of $0.1 million each, all of which are primarily due to the migration of our California lab services to our New Jersey and North Carolina locations in the third quarter of 2018. These decreases were offset, in part, by increases in lab supplies and shipping costs of $0.1 million each. Gross margin declined to 32% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 34% during the three months ended March 31, 2018, due to lower revenue in the comparable periods and an increase in lab supplies and shipping costs.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased 33%, or $0.2 million, to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, principally due to reduced lab supplies usage and payroll and benefit costs of $0.1 million each due to the shift in our staffing costs as we reduced the amount of research and development initiatives and concentrated our staff on the delivery of our services. Given the current financial condition of the Company, we are limiting our spending for research and development expenses to our most promising projects.

General and administrative expenses decreased 37%, or $2.0 million, to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, principally due to decreased payroll and benefit costs of $1.2 million and declines in rent expense and depreciation and amortization of $0.1 million each, all of which are primarily due to the migration of our California lab services to our New Jersey and North Carolina locations in the third quarter of 2018. In addition, our bad debt expense decreased by $0.5 million.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 30%, or $0.5 million, to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, principally due to decreased payroll and benefit costs of $0.4 million and decreased travel, meals and entertainment costs of $0.1 million.

Merger costs of $0.2 million were incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2019 principally due to the evaluation and pursuit of strategic options.

Interest Income (Expense)

Net interest expense increased 690%, or $1.5 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 principally due to the amortization of the discount on debt and debt issuance costs on the Advance from NovellusDx, Ltd. and the Convertible Note of $1.1 million. We also incurred $0.2 million of standstill fees in conjunction with the Convertible Note standstill agreement and an aggregate $0.2 million of forbearance fees associated with the forbearance agreements with SVB and PFG.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

Changes in fair value of some of our common stock warrants may impact our quarterly results.  Accounting rules require us to record certain of our warrants as a liability, measure the fair value of these warrants each quarter and record changes in that value in earnings. As a result of changes in our volatility expectations, we recognized non-cash expense of $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as opposed to a non-cash income of $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that resulted from a decrease in our stock price. Consequently, we may be exposed to non-cash charges, or we may record non-cash income, as a result of this warrant exposure in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds generated from our debt financings and equity financings. In addition, we have generated funds from the following sources: (i) cash collections from customers and (ii) cash received from the sale of state NOL’s. In January 2019, we closed two public offerings and issued an aggregate of 28,550,726 shares of common stock for approximately $5.4 million, net of expenses and discounts of approximately $1.1 million. On April 4, 2019, we sold $11.6 million of gross State of New Jersey NOL’s relating to the 2017 tax year as well as $0.1 million of state research and development tax credits. The sale resulted in the net receipt by the Company of approximately $0.5 million.

In general, our primary uses of cash are providing for operating expenses, working capital purposes and servicing debt.

Cash Flows

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

We had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1.0 million at March 31, 2019, and $0.5 million at December 31, 2018.

The $0.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash for the three months ended March 31, 2019, principally resulted from net proceeds from the 2019 Offerings of $5.4 million, offset, in part by net cash used in operations of $4.5 million.

The $5.5 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash for the three months ended March 31, 2018, principally resulted from net cash used in operations of $4.5 million.

At March 31, 2019, we had total indebtedness of $12.7 million, excluding finance lease obligations.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. We used $2.9 million in net cash to fund our core operations, which included $0.3 million in cash paid for interest. We incurred additional uses of cash when adjusting for working capital items as follows: a net decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue of $1.1 million, a net reduction in operating lease liabilities of $0.2 million, a net increase in accounts receivable of $0.3 million, and a net increase in other current assets of $0.3 million, offset, in part by a decrease in operating lease right-of-use assets of $0.2 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we used $4.5 million in operating activities. We used $3.9 million in net cash to fund our core operations, which included $0.2 million in cash paid for interest. We incurred additional uses of cash when adjusting for working capital items as follows: a net increase in accounts receivable of $0.2 million, an increase in other current assets of $0.1 million and a net decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue of $0.3 million.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and principally resulted from the purchase of fixed assets.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and principally resulted from the purchase of fixed assets.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and principally resulted from net proceeds from the 2019 Offerings of $5.4 million, offset by a net reduction in borrowings on our ABL of $0.2 million and principal payments on finance lease obligations of $0.1 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and resulted from the repayment of borrowings on our ABL of $0.6 million and principal payments on finance lease obligations of $0.1 million.

Capital Resources and Expenditure Requirements

We expect to continue to incur material operating losses in the future. It may take several years, if ever, to achieve positive operational cash flow. We may need to raise additional capital to fund our current operations, to repay certain outstanding indebtedness and to fund expansion of our business to meet our long-term business objectives through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, borrowings or strategic partnerships coupled with an investment in our company or a combination thereof. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of convertible debt securities, or other debt securities, these securities could be secured and could have rights senior to those of our common stock. In addition, any new debt incurred by the Company could impose covenants that restrict our operations and increase our interest expense. The issuance of any new equity securities will also dilute the interest of our current stockholders. Given the risks associated with our business, including our unprofitable operating history and our ability to develop additional proprietary tests, additional capital may not be available when needed on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may need to sell off non-core assets, further consolidate or, in extreme cases, discontinue our operations or liquidate our assets. In January 2019, we entered into forbearance agreements with PFG and SVB acknowledging that we were and anticipating we would be in violation of certain financial and other covenants of the ABL and the PFG Term Note as of December 31, 2018, January 31, 2019, February 28, 2019 and March 31, 2019. These agreements, among other things, (i) required us to comply with certain milestones in connection with a potential strategic transaction satisfactory to PFG and SVB with an anticipated closing date of on or before April 15, 2019 (the “Milestones”), (ii) provided for PFG and SVB’s forbearance of their respective rights and remedies resulting from existing and stated potential events of default under the PFG Term Note and ABL until the earlier of (a) the occurrence of an additional event of default or (b) February 15, 2019; provided such date was to be automatically extended to (1) February 28, 2019 and then to (2) April 15, 2019 so long as we were in compliance with the Milestones required as of such dates and (iii) extended the maturity date of the ABL until April 15, 2019. Under the terms of the forbearance agreement, we can borrow up to $3 million. On March 31, 2019, the outstanding balance on the ABL was $2.4 million based on eligible accounts receivable. In addition, the forbearance agreements have now expired and the ABL is currently past its maturity date. We are in discussions with SVB and PFG about possible extensions of the forbearance agreements and of the maturity of the ABL as part of the overall strategic process.

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.5 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million at March 31, 2019, an increase from $0.2 million at December 31, 2018. The Company has negative working capital at March 31, 2019 of $18.0 million.

We do not believe that our current cash will support operations beyond the next three months from the date of this report unless we raise additional equity or debt capital or spin-off non-core assets to raise additional cash. We have hired Raymond James & Associates Inc. as our financial advisor to assist with evaluating strategic alternatives. Such alternatives could include raising more capital, the sale of the Company or another type of strategic partnership. There is no assurance that the review of

25

Table of Contents

strategic alternatives will result in the Company changing its business plan, pursuing any particular transaction, if any, or, if it pursues any such transaction, that it will be completed.

Meanwhile we are taking steps to improve our operating cash flow. We can provide no assurances that our current actions will be successful or that any additional sources of financing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all, when needed. Our cash position, recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and as a result, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 with respect to this uncertainty. This going concern opinion, and any future going concern opinion, could materially limit our ability to raise additional capital. The perception that we may not be able to continue as a going concern may cause customers, potential partners or investors to choose not to deal with us due to concerns about our ability to meet our contractual and financial obligations. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in our common stock.

Our forecast of the period of time through which our current financial resources will be adequate to support our operations and our expected operating expenses are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors, including:
 
our ability to extend our forbearance agreements and the ABL;
our ability to secure financing and the amount thereof;
our ability to achieve revenue growth and profitability;
the costs for funding the operations we recently acquired and our ability to realize anticipated benefits from the vivoPharm acquisition;
our ability to improve efficiency of billing and collection processes;
our ability to execute on our marketing and sales strategy for our tests and gain acceptance of our tests in the market;
our ability to obtain adequate reimbursement from governmental and other third-party payors for our tests and services;
our ability to maintain our present customer base and obtain new customers;
our ability to clinically validate our pipeline of tests currently in development;
our ability to obtain approvals for our new diagnostic tests;
the costs of operating and enhancing our laboratory facilities;
our ability to succeed with our cost control initiative;
our ability to satisfy US (FDA) and international regulatory regiments with respect to our tests and services, many of which are new and still evolving;
the costs of maintaining, expanding and protecting our intellectual property portfolio, including potential litigation costs and liabilities;
our ability to manage the costs of manufacturing our tests;
the effect of competing technological and market developments; and
other risks and uncertainties discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as updated in other reports, as applicable, we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be required to liquidate its assets.  The ability of the Company to meet its obligations, and to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the availability of future funding and the continued growth in revenues.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Income Taxes

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Since inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet activities as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgment and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and make various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The notes to our audited consolidated financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 contain a summary of our significant accounting policies. The adoption of ASC 842 is discussed in Note 1 of Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We consider the following accounting policies critical to the understanding of the results of our operations:
 
Revenue recognition;
Accounts receivable and bad debts;
Warrant liabilities and other derivatives;
Stock-based compensation;
Income taxes; and
Impairment of intangibles and long-lived assets.

Item 3.        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4.        Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), as amended, as of March 31, 2019, the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level at March 31, 2019 because of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that existed at December 31, 2018 that has not been fully remediated by the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, 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. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our internal control policies changed during the three months ended March 31, 2019 to accommodate the implementation of ASC 606 and specifically its effect on the different customer types within Clinical Services in part for a legacy location as well as the practical recording of the relevant accounts receivable and subsequent cash receipts.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we finalized enhancements and modifications to existing internal controls and procedures to ensure compliance with new leasing guidance in accordance with ASC 842. These changes to our control environment were completed in the first quarter of 2019.

Other than changes to accommodate the implementation of ASC 606 and ASC 842, and the remediation activities discussed below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with filing our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, management has begun the process of remediation of the material weakness. The further remediation is being conducted due to latency effects associated with the ASC 606 implementation as well as a legacy location that involves design changes to our internal controls over revenue recognition. In 2019, management plans to include additional reconciliations between its general ledger and billing systems to enhance its remediation efforts. We believe these actions to be sufficient to remediate the

28

Table of Contents

identified material weakness and to enhance our internal control over financial reporting. However, the new enhanced controls have not operated long enough to conclude at the time of this filling that the material weakness was fully remediated. The Company expects this deficiency to be corrected by the end of 2019.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

On April 5, 2018 and April 12, 2018, purported stockholders of the Company filed nearly identical putative class action lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, against the Company, Panna L. Sharma, John A. Roberts, and Igor Gitelman, captioned Ben Phetteplace v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al., No. 2:18-cv-05612 and Ruo Fen Zhang v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al., No. 2:18-06353, respectively. The complaints alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions regarding our business, operational, and financial results. The lawsuits sought, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages in connection with purchases of our stock between March 23, 2017 and April 2, 2018, as well as interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs. On August 28, 2018, the Court consolidated the two actions in one action captioned In re Cancer Genetics, Inc. Securities Litigation (the “Securities Litigation”) and appointed shareholder Randy Clark as the lead plaintiff. On October 30, 2018, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, adding Edward Sitar as a defendant and seeking, among other things, compensatory damages in connection with purchases of CGI stock between March 10, 2016 and April 2, 2018. On December 31, 2018, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the Securities Litigation and therefore cannot estimate possible losses or ranges of losses, if any.

In addition, on June 1, 2018, September 20, 2018, and September 25, 2018, purported stockholders of the Company filed nearly identical derivative lawsuits on behalf of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company (as a nominal defendant) and current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors and current and former officers of the Company. The three cases are captioned: Bell v. Sharma et al., No. 2:18-cv-10009-CCC-MF, McNeece v. Pappajohn et al., No. 2:18-cv-14093, and Workman v. Pappajohn, et al., No. 2:18-cv-14259 (the “Derivative Litigation”). The complaints allege claims for breach of fiduciary duty, violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (premised upon alleged omissions in the Company’s 2017 proxy statement), and unjust enrichment, and allege that the individual defendants failed to implement and maintain adequate controls, which resulted in ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, and conspired to conceal this alleged failure. The lawsuits seek, among other things, damages and/or restitution to the Company, appropriate equitable relief to remedy the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On November 9, 2018, the Court in the Bell v. Sharma action entered a stipulation filed by the parties staying the Bell action until the Securities Litigation is dismissed, with prejudice, and all appeals have been exhausted; or the defendants’ motion to dismiss in the Securities Litigation is denied in whole or in part; or either of the parties in the Bell action gives 30 days’ notice that they no longer consent to the stay. On December 10, 2018, the parties in the McNeece action filed a stipulation that is substantially identical to the Bell stipulation. On February 1, 2019, the Court in the Workman action granted a stipulation that is substantially identical to the Bell stipulation. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the Derivative Litigation and therefore cannot estimate possible losses or ranges of losses, if any.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 except as noted below:

We have a history of net losses; we expect to incur net losses in the future, and we may never achieve sustained profitability.

We have historically incurred substantial net losses. We incurred losses of $20.4 million and $20.8 million for fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $4.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019. From our inception in April 1999 through March 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $162.3 million. We expect losses to continue, which will continue to have, an adverse effect on our working capital, total assets and stockholders’ equity. We are unable to predict when we will become profitable, and we may never become profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our inability to achieve and then maintain profitability would negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our recurring losses from operations have raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

At December 31, 2018, our cash position and history of losses required management to assess our ability to continue operating as a going concern, according to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). We did not have sufficient cash at December 31, 2018 to fund normal operations for the next twelve months, and do not have sufficient cash at March 31, 2019. In

addition, we have been in violation of certain financial covenants under our debt agreements. While our lenders have historically agreed to forbear from exercising all of their rights and remedies resulting from existing and potential defaults, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to negotiate new forbearance conditions, raise additional equity or debt capital and/or spin-off non-core assets to raise additional cash. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have hired Raymond James & Associates, Inc. as our financial advisor to assist with evaluating strategic alternatives. Such alternatives could include raising more capital, the sale of the Company or another type of strategic partnership. We can provide no assurances that our current actions will be successful or that additional sources of financing with be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

We are in default of financial covenants in the credit agreements with our senior lenders, which were subject to forbearance agreements that expired on April 15, 2019, and our asset- based revolving line of credit agreement matured on April 15, 2019.

We have been in violation of certain of the financial and other covenants under our asset-based revolving line of credit agreement (“ABL”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and our term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”) with Partners for Growth IV, L.P. (“PFG”). On August 20, and November 19, 2018, the Company received waivers from its senior lenders for the covenant violations.

On January 16, 2019, we entered into a Forbearance and Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Forbearance and Amendment”) with SVB, further amending the ABL, and a Forbearance Agreement and Modification No. 4 to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Forbearance and Modification”) with PFG, further amending the Term Loan.

The Forbearance and Amendment agreements with SVB and PFG, among other things, required us to comply with certain milestones in connection with progressing towards a potential strategic transaction satisfactory to our lenders with an anticipated closing date of on or before April 15, 2019 (the “Milestones”).

The Company did not close on a strategic transaction on or before April 15, 2019. While the forbearance agreements have expired and the ABL is currently past its maturity date, our lenders have not demanded payment, and we are in discussions with SVB and PFG about possible extensions of the forbearance agreements and the maturity date of the ABL, along with further milestones to be achieved with respect to a strategic process. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to successfully negotiate further extensions and milestones with SVB and PFG.

We currently have limited funds and we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations.
We will need to raise additional financing to fund our operations. At March 31, 2019, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million. Net cash used in operating activities was $12.6 million and $13.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2019. We have continued to have negative cash flow in the second quarter of 2019, and we have limited availability under our asset-based revolving line of credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank.

The Company has retained Raymond James & Associates, Inc. as a financial advisor to assist the Company in its evaluation of a broad range of financial and strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, including additional capital raising transactions, or the potential sale or merger of the Company, disposition of non-core assets, or another type of strategic partnership. There is no assurance that the review of strategic alternatives will result in the Company changing its business plan, pursuing any particular transaction, if any, or, if it pursues any such transaction, that it will be completed. The Company does not expect to make further public comment regarding the strategic review until the Board of Directors has approved a specific transaction or otherwise deems disclosure of significant developments is appropriate.

We believe that our current cash and availability under our revolving line of credit, together with the Offering Proceeds, will support operations for approximately three months from the date of this report, assuming we are able to negotiate an extension of the maturity date of the ABL and an extension of the forbearances with SVB and PFG. We can provide no assurances that any additional sources of financing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all, when needed. Our forecast of the period of time through which our current financial resources will be adequate to support our operations and the costs to support our general and administrative, sales and marketing and research and development activities are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties. Absent sufficient additional financing, we may be unable to remain a going concern.

We are not currently in compliance with the continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market. If we do not regain compliance and continue to meet the continued listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, which could affect the market price and liquidity for our common stock and reduce our ability to raise additional capital.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other requirements including, without limitation, a requirement that our closing bid price be at least $1.00 per share and that we hold an annual meeting of stockholders within twelve months of the end of our fiscal year. In addition, on January 29, 2019, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was required to seek stockholder approval of the execution of the Novellus Credit Agreement, under which the Company was advanced $1.5 million, the outstanding balance of which, including interest, is convertible, at the option of Novellus, into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.606 per share, due to the potential for the Company, upon a conversion of such outstanding balance, with interest, to be required to issue common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock on the day of execution of such agreement in excess of 20% of the pre-transaction outstanding shares of common stock, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (the “Approval Requirement”).

Nasdaq’s notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(C), the Company had 45 calendar days from January 29, 2019 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Approval Requirement, which the Company submitted on March 15, 2019, and which was approved on May 15, 2019, subject to the Company’s shareholders approving the potential issuances to Novellus at the annual meeting of shareholders currently scheduled for May 31, 2019, or the Company otherwise curing the deficiency on or before May 31, 2019. There can be no assurance that the shareholders will approve such issuances.

On January 3, 2019, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff Nasdaq notifying us that we no longer comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) due to our failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within twelve months of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting Requirement”). We had 45 calendar days from January 3, 2019, or until February 19, 2019, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Annual Meeting Requirement, which we submitted on February 19, 2019. On May 15, 2019, Nasdaq accepted our plan subject to our holding our annual meeting on May 31, 2019.

On November 13, 2018, we received a written notice from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We had 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance, or until May 13, 2019, which we did not do. On May 15, 2019, Nasdaq granted us an additional 180 days within which to regain compliance.

We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and consider our available options to resolve our noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To that end, we have submitted for approval by our stockholders a proposal to grant discretionary authority to our board of directors to amend our certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of our outstanding shares of common stock within a range of 5-for-1 to 30-for-1, with the exact reverse split ratio to be decided and publicly announced by the board of directors prior to the effective time of the amendment to our certificate of incorporation. There can be no assurance that our shareholders will grant our board the discretionary authority to effect a reverse split or that we otherwise will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

If we fail to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement, the Annual Meeting Requirement or the Approval Requirement or to meet the other applicable continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market in the future and Nasdaq determines to delist our common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock and reduce our ability to raise additional capital. In addition, if our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq and the trading price remains below $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock might also become subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trade involving a stock defined as a “penny stock” (generally, any equity security not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on Nasdaq that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions).
