1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Business Description


Description.

Precipio, Inc., and Subsidiary, (“we”its subsidiaries, (collectively, “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Precipio”) is a cancer diagnostics and reagent technology company providing diagnostic products, reagents and services to the oncology market. We have built and continue to develop a platform designed to eradicate the problem of misdiagnosis by harnessing the intellect, expertise and technologytechnologies developed withinin collaboration with academic institutions, and deliveringto deliver quality diagnostic information to physicians and their patients worldwide.

We operate a cancer diagnostic laboratory located in New Haven, Connecticut and have partnered with the Yale School of Medicinevarious academic institutions to capture the expertise, experience and technologies developed within academia so that we canto provide a better standard of cancer diagnostics and aim to solve the growing problem of cancer misdiagnosis. We

In support of our platform, we also operate a research and development facility in Omaha, Nebraska which will focusfocuses on furtherthe development of various technologies, among them our internally developed proprietary products IV-Cell and HemeScreen. To expand and accelerate our product offering capabilities to commercial laboratories, the Omaha facility was recently CLIA and CAP certified. Functioning side-by-side as a CLIA operating laboratory, the Omaha facility is designed to expand our proficiencies and knowledge in transitioning R&D lab generated technology into a commercial laboratory environment.

Capitalizing on this strategy, during the end of the third quarter 2020, we transitioned our HemeScreen technology from the R&D facility to the commercial laboratory setting launching the HemeScreen Reagent Rental (HSRR) program. HSRR offers oncology practices and hospitals diagnostic reagent sets of the patent-pending HemeScreen technology at significantly lower costs, while reducing the test reporting time from seven (7) to ten (10) days down to one (1) day and improving patient care. HemeScreen tests various molecular markers required for the diagnosis of certain hematologic malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). The HSRR program provides a turn-key test offering together with an option to lease-to-own diagnostic testing equipment from the Company. In most practice settings, such hematologic cancer tests are referenced out as both the cost of equipment and the cost of the diagnostic reagents are prohibitive. By utilizing our HSRR program, the customer can generate in-house testing revenues through reagent purchase contracts and economical lease-to-own rates instead of sending out the same tests to large commercial reference laboratories. The HSRR customer also benefits from obtaining faster results, thus ultimately providing better patient care.  During the first half of 2021, the Company began to recognize recurring revenues from its first few HSRR accounts.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company expanded access to its COVID-19 rapid antibody test by listing on Amazon.com’s healthcare website platform.  The antibody test is manufactured in the U.S. by Nirmidas Biotech, of California.  Precipio holds the exclusive rights to distribute this product on Amazon’s platform.  The Company’s COVID-19 rapid antibody test may currently be purchased by any medical practitioner having a National Provider Identifier (“NPI”), hospitals, medical centers and other qualified medical POC providers

The Company also holds an exclusive license to patented ICE-COLD-PCR (“ICP”), the patented technology which was exclusively licensed by us from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. (“Dana-Farber”), or Dana-Farber, at Harvard UniversityUniversity. We believe that such technology will provide additional services and products directed at improving diagnostic outcomes and providing physicians with options for targeted therapies.

Joint Venture.

In April 2020, the Company formed a joint venture with Poplar Healthcare PLLC (“Harvard”Poplar”), which we refer to as the “Joint Venture”. The research and development center will focus onJoint Venture was formed by the developmentLimited Liability Company Agreement of this technology, which we believe will enable us to commercialize other technologies developed by our current and future academic partners. Our platform connects patients, physicians and diagnostic experts residing within academic institutions. Launched in 2017, the platform facilitates the following relationships:Precipio


9

Patients: patients may search for physicians in their area and consult directly with academic experts that are on the platform. Patients may also have access to new academic discoveries as they become commercially available.

Physicians: physicians can connect with academic experts to seek consultations on behalf of their patients and may also provide consultations for patients in their area seeking medical expertise in that physician’s relevant specialty. Physicians will also have access to new diagnostic solutions to help improve diagnostic accuracy.

Academic Experts: academic experts on the platform can make themselves available for patients or physicians seeking access to their expertise. Additionally, these experts have a platform available to commercialize their research discoveries.

We intend to continue updating our platform to allow for patient-to-patient communications and allow individuals to share stories and provide support for one another, to allow physicians to consult with their peers to discuss and share challenges and solutions, and to allow academic experts to interact with others in academia on the platform to discuss their research and cross-collaborate.

ICP was developed at Harvard and is licensed exclusively by us from Dana-Farber. The technology enables the detection of genetic mutations in liquid biopsies, such as blood samples. The field of liquid biopsies is a rapidly growing market, aimed at solving the challenge of obtaining genetic information on disease progression and changes from sources other than a tumor biopsy.

Gene sequencing is performed on tissue biopsies taken surgically from the tumor site in order to identify potential therapies that will be more effective in treating the patient. There are several limitations to this process. First, surgical procedures have several limitations, including:

Cost: surgical procedures are usually performed in a costly hospital environment. For example, according to a recent study the mean cost of lung biopsies is greater than $14,000; surgery also involves hospitalization and recovery time.

Surgical access: various tumor sites are not always accessible (e.g. brain tumors), in which cases no biopsy is available for diagnosis.

Risk: patient health may not permit undergoing an invasive surgery; therefore a biopsy cannot be obtained at all.

Time: the process of scheduling and coordinating a surgical procedure often takes time, delaying the start of patient treatment.

Second, there are several tumor-related limitations that provide a challenge to obtaining such genetic information from a tumor:

Tumors are heterogeneous by nature: a tissue sample from one area of the tumor may not properly represent the tumor’s entire genetic composition; thus, the diagnostic results from a tumor may be incomplete and non-representative.

Metastases: in order to accurately test a patient with metastatic disease, ideally an individual biopsy sample should be taken from each site (if those sites are even known). These biopsies are very difficult to obtain; therefore physicians often rely on biopsies taken from the primary tumor site.

The advent of technologies enabling liquid biopsies as an alternative to tumor biopsy and analysis is based on the fact that tumors (both primary and metastatic) shed cells and fragments of DNA into the blood stream. These blood samples are called “liquid biopsies” that contain circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA, which hold the same genetic information found in the tumor(s). That tumor DNA is the target of genetic analysis. However, since the quantity of tumor DNA is very small in proportion to the “normal” (or “healthy”) DNA within the blood stream, there is a need to identify and separate the tumor DNA from the normal DNA.

ICP is an enrichment technology that enables the laboratory to focus its analysis on the tumor DNA by enriching, and thereby “multiplying” the presence of, tumor DNA, while maintaining the normal DNA at its same level. Once the enrichment process has been completed, the laboratory genetic testing equipment is able to identify genetic abnormalities presented in the ctDNA, and an analysis can be conducted at a higher level of sensitivity, to enable the detection of such genetic abnormalities. The technology is encapsulated into a chemical that is provided in the form of a kit and sold to other laboratories who wish to conduct these tests in-house. The chemical within the kit is added to the specimen preparation process, enriching the sample for the tumor DNA so that the analysis will detect those genetic abnormalities.
Merger Transaction

On June 29, 2017, the Company (then known as “Transgenomic, Inc.”, or “Transgenomic”), completed a reverse merger (the “Merger”) with Precipio Diagnostics,

Oncometrix LLC, a privately held Delaware limited liability company (“POC”), which was entered into as of April 11, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and among POC, Poplar, and Precipio Diagnostics”SPV Inc. (“Precipio SPV”), a newly formed subsidiary of the Company, together with such other persons who from time to time become party to the Limited Liability Company Agreement by executing a counterpart signature page in accordance with the terms hereof. POC was formed as a limited liability company on April 2, 2020 in accordance with the statutes and laws of the Agreement and PlanState of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated October 12, 2016, as amendedDelaware relating to limited liability companies. Precipio SPV was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 2, 2017 and June 29, 2017, by and among Transgenomic,March 10, 2020 for the sole purpose of being a party to the Joint Venture.

Under the terms of the Joint Venture, Precipio Diagnostics and New Haven Labs Inc. (“Merger Sub”)SPV has a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transgenomic.49% ownership interest in the Joint Venture, with Poplar having a 51 % ownership. Pursuant to the MergerLimited Liability Company Agreement, Merger Sub merged withPoplar, at any time, has the right to require Precipio SPV to purchase all, but not less than all, of Poplar’s shares in the Joint Venture (the “Poplar Put Right”). The purchase price for Poplar’s shares shall be $1.00 per share, or NaN dollars, and into Precipio Diagnostics, with Precipio Diagnostics survivingSPV would, therefore, become the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiarysole 100% owner of the Joint Venture at the time the Poplar Put Right became effective. The Company has determined that it holds a variable interest in the Joint Venture and is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity (“VIE”). See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion regarding consolidation of variable interest entities.

The business purpose of the Joint Venture is to facilitate and capitalize on the combined company (See Note 3 - Reverse Merger). In connectioncapabilities, resources and healthcare industry relationships of its members by partnering, promoting and providing oncology services to office based physicians, hospitals and medical centers. Operational services of the Joint Venture are performed entirely by its members and employees of its members. Precipio SPV’s responsibilities include product and account management services, selling & marketing, laboratory diagnostic services and general & administrative services. Precipio SPV is entitled to a management fee for the services it provides. This management fee is established through service agreements which were executed in conjunction with the Merger, the Company changed its name from Transgenomic, Inc. to Precipio, Inc., relisted its common stock under Precipio, Inc. on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“NASDAQ”), and effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of its common stock. Upon the consummationformation of the Merger,Joint Venture. Poplar receives a similar fee for the historical financial statements of Precipio Diagnostics become the Company's historical financial statements. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Precipio Diagnostics are included in the comparative prior periods. As a result of the Merger, historical preferred stock, common stock, restricted units, warrants and additional paid-in capital, including share and per share amounts, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the equity structure of the combined company, including the effect of the Merger exchange ratio. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding unit of Precipio Diagnostics was exchanged for 10.2502 pre-reverse stock split shares of Company Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”). See Note 3 - Reverse Merger for additional discussion of the Merger.

Going Concern

Concern.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable for a going concern, which assume that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and has used cash in its operating activities for the past several years. As of September 30, 2017,2021, the Company had a net loss of $10.7$6.3 million, and negative working capital of $12.6$11.4 million and net cash used in operating activities of $5.2 million. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is dependent upon a combination of achieving its business plan, including generating additional revenue and avoiding potential business disruption due to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and raising additional financing to meet its debt obligations and paying liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.


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

On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Shares”), having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $22.0 million, to or through AGP, as sales agent (the “AGP Sales Agreement”), from time to time, in an “at the market offering” (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Shares (the “ATM Offering”). The Company is limited in the number of shares it can sell in the ATM Offering due to the offering limitations currently applicable to the Company under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3 and the Company’s public float as of the applicable date of such sales, as well as the number of authorized and unissued shares available for issuance, in accordance with the terms of the AGP Sales Agreement. The offer and sales of our shares of Common Stock to or through AGP, will be made pursuant to the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-237445), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13,
On October 31, 2017, the Company entered into a Debt Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with certain of its accounts payable vendors (the “Creditors”) pursuant to which the Creditors agreed to a reduction of approximately $5.0 million in currently due vendor liabilities. The Company and the Creditors agreed to restructure

these liabilities into approximately $2.5 million in secured, long-term vendor obligations with payments beginning in July 2018 and continuing over 48 months.
On November 7, 2017, the Company completed its capital raise initiative issuing $2.8 million in units consisting of Series C Preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock.

2020, for an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. From April 2, 2021 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, we have already received approximately $15.4 million in gross proceeds through the AGP Sales Agreement from the sale of 4,501,000 shares of common stock, leaving the Company an additional $6.6 million available for future sales pursuant to the AGP Sales Agreement.

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


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with GAAP. We have evaluated events occurring subsequent toGAAP and, as of September 30, 2017 for potential recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements and concluded that, other than what is disclosed in Note 13 - Subsequent Events, there were no other subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from our audited balance sheet as of that date. There has been no change in the balance sheet from December 31, 2016. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 20162020, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of Precipio Diagnostics for the year ended December 31, 20162020 contained in our current reportAnnual Report on Form 8-K/A,10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 31, 2017.March 29, 2021. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for fiscal year 2017.
Reclassifications.
Certain reclassifications were made2021.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Precipio and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and the Joint Venture which is a VIE in which we are the primary beneficiary. Refer to the 2016 financial statementssection titled “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” for further information related to our accounting for the Joint Venture. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications.

Certain prior period amounts of property and equipment, net and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets have been reclassified to finance lease right-of-use assets to conform to the current year financial statementperiod presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net earnings.earnings or total assets. As of December 31, 2020, the amounts reclassified to finance lease right-of-use assets were $0.2 million of property and equipment, net and less than $0.1 million of operating lease right-of-use assets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which is intended to improve consistent application and simplify the accounting for income taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, Lease (Topic 842), “Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments”. This guidance amends the lease classification accounting for lessors for certain leases with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate and would have resulted in the recognition of a loss at lease commencement if classified as a sales-type or direct financing lease. Under the new guidance, these leases will be classified

Principles

11

as an operating lease. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements includeand related disclosures.

In May 2021, the accountsFASB issued ASU 2021-04, “Issuers Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Precipio, Inc.Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” which clarifies the accounting for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after a modification or exchange and our wholly owned subsidiary. All inter-company balancesthe related EPS effects of such transaction if recognized as an adjustment to equity.  This ASU becomes effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and transactionsshould be applied prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates.

The preparation ofon its condensed consolidated financial statements requires managementand related disclosures.

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

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”), which replaces current methods for evaluating impairment of financial instruments not measured at fair value, including trade accounts receivable and certain debt securities, with a current expected credit loss model. Topic 326, as amended, is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Loss Per Share.

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants or conversion rights that have exercise or conversion prices below the market value of our common stock. Options, warrants and conversion rights pertaining to 3,596,917 and 1,832,514 shares of our common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, because the effect is anti-dilutive due to the net loss.

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

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

We evaluate any entity in which we are involved to determine if the entity is a VIE and if so, whether we hold a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. We consolidate VIEs that are subject to assessment when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The process for determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE is to conclude whether we are a party to the VIE holding a variable interest that meets both of the following criteria: (1)

12

has the power to make estimates and assumptionsdecisions that most significantly affect the reported amountseconomic performance of the VIE, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE.

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

Department of Economic and Community Development.

On January 8, 2018, the Company received gross proceeds of $400,000 when it entered into an agreement with the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”) by which the Company received a grant of $100,000 and a loan of $300,000 secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets (the “DECD 2018 Loan”). The DECD 2018 Loan is a ten-year loan due on December 31, 2027 and liabilitiesincludes interest paid monthly at 3.25%.

Due to the economic impact of COVID-19, DECD offered financial relief to all businesses with certain loans, including the Company’s DECD 2018 Loan. The relief includes the option to defer all payments from April 1, 2020 to August 1, 2020 and the deferred payments will be added to the end of the loan. The Company chose to defer its payments and the maturity date of the financial statements andDECD 2018 Loan was extended to May 31, 2028. The payment deferral modification did not have a material impact on the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, estimates and assumptionsCompany’s cash flows.

Debt issuance costs associated with the determinationDECD 2018 Loan were approximately $31,000. Amortization of the fair valuedebt issuance costs were less than $1,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and approximately $3,000 and $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net debt issuance costs were approximately $19,000 and $22,000 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are presented as a reduction of certain assets andthe related impairments require considerable judgment by management. Actual results could differ fromdebt in the estimates and assumptions used in preparing theseaccompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.balance sheets. Amortization for each of the nextfiveyears is expected to be approximately $3,000.

Risks

13

Paycheck Protection Program.

On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) evidencing an unsecured $787,200 loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The Paycheck Protection Program (or “PPP”) was established under the recently congressionally-approved Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Uncertainties.

Certain risksEconomic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and uncertainties are inherentis administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The PPP Loan to the Company was made through Webster Bank, N.A.

Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP Loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payroll costs and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels.

As of December 31, 2020, using the eight-week forgiveness period, the Company had incurred approximately $0.8 million in our day-to-day operationspayroll, payroll related costs and other anticipated qualifying expenses with $0.6 million the PPP Loan’s outstanding balance included in current maturities of long-term debt and $0.2 million included in long-term debt in the process of preparing our financial statements. The more significant of those risks are presented below and throughout the notes to the unauditedCompany’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

balance sheet.

On February 11, 2021, the Company filed its application for loan forgiveness with Webster Bank and was subsequently notified by Webster Bank that effective March 24, 2021 the PPP Loan, plus accrued interest, was considered fully forgiven. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on forgiveness of debt of $0.8 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

4. CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Convertible Bridge Notes.

On April 20, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2018 Note Agreement”) with certain investors, as amended on November 29, 2018 (the “Amendment Agreement”) and amended on April 16, 2019 (“Amendment No.2 Agreement”). The Company operatesalso entered into a securities purchase agreement on May 14, 2019. In connection with these securities purchase agreements, the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Bridge Notes”) along with warrants during 2018 and 2019.

On March 26, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment agreement (the “March 2020 Amendment”) amending the terms of that certain Amendment No. 2 Agreement dated April 16, 2019 and the securities purchase agreement dated May 14, 2019.  As a result of the March 2020 Amendment, (i) the maturity date of the Bridge Notes issued in April 2019 (the “April 2019 Bridge Notes”) and the Bridge Notes issued in May 2019 (the “May 2019 Bridge Notes”) was extended three months from April 16, 2020 to July 16, 2020, (ii) the floor price at which conversions may occur under the April 2019 Bridge Notes and the May 2019 Bridge Notes was amended from $2.25 to $0.40, and (iii) guaranteed interest on the April 2019 Bridge Notes and the May 2019 Bridge Notes was amended from twelve months to eighteen months.

The Company reviewed the modifications and concluded that the March 2020 Amendment would be treated as an extinguishment of the related April 2019 Bridge Notes and May 2019 Bridge Notes. As a result, the Company recorded a debt premium on the post-modification debt of $0.8 million and a loss on extinguishment of convertible notes of $1.2 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, 0 and $2.2 million, respectively, of bridge notes, plus interest, were converted into 0 and 3,908,145 shares of common stock of the Company, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, there was no Bridge Note activity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the change in Bridge Note debt discounts and debt premiums was as follows:

LEGAL AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

The healthcare industry which is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not necessarily limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirements,requirement, reimbursement for patient services and Medicare and Medicaid fraud

and abuse. Government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers.

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

Unless otherwise specified, book

7. LEASES

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

Operating leases result in the recognition of ROU assets and operating lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The common stock warrant liabilityprimary leases we enter into with initial terms of 12 months or less are for equipment.

The Company also recognizes ROU assets from finance leases in connection with its HSRR program. For certain customers in the HSRR program, the Company leases diagnostic testing equipment and then subleases the equipment to the customer.  Finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date, and at the sublease commencement date the finance lease ROU asset is derecognized and is recorded at fair value. See Note 11 - Fair Value for additional information.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Other Current Assets.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments with original maturities at the dateas cost of acquisition of three months or less. Other current assets as of September 30, 2017 of $0.1 million includes prepaid assets of less than $0.1 million and other receivables of less than $0.1 million and consisted of primarily prepaid assets as of December 31, 2016.
Concentrations of Risk.
From time to time, we may maintain a cash position with financial institutions in amounts that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on such accounts as of September 30, 2017.
Service companiessales in the health care industry typically grant credit without collateral to patients. The majoritycondensed consolidated statements of these patients are insured under third-party insurance agreements. The services provided by the Company are routinely billed utilizing the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code set designed to communicate uniform information about medical services and procedures among physicians, coders, patients, accreditation organizations, and payersoperations. Derecognized finance lease ROU assets for administrative, financial, and analytical purposes. CPT codes are currently identified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and third-party payors. The Company utilizes CPT codes for Pathology and Laboratory Services contained within codes 80000-89398.
Property and Equipment.
Depreciation expense related to property and equipment was less than $0.1 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Depreciation expense during each period includes depreciation related to equipment acquired under capital leases.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets.
As a result of the Merger, the Company recorded goodwill and intangible assets as part of its allocation of the purchase consideration. See Note 3 - Reverse Merger for the amounts recorded.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of the business acquired. See Note 3 - Reverse Merger for the amount recorded. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. We perform this impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each year or when a significant event occurs that may indicate that the assets might be impaired. In assessing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is2021 were less than its carrying amount, for which the consolidated Company is considered one reporting unit. If this is the case, then performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. An entity can choose not to perform a qualitative assessment for any or all of its reporting units, and proceed directly to the use of the quantitative impairment test. In assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the relevant events and circumstances that may impact the fair value and the carrying amount of a reporting unit are assessed. The identification of relevant events and circumstances and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgments by management. These judgments include the consideration of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, events which are specific to the company, and trends in the market price of our common

stock. Each factor is assessed to determine whether it impacts the impairment test positively or negatively, and the magnitude of any such impact. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company experienced a decline in its share price and a significant reduction in its market capitalization, as such the Company determined that an assessment of goodwill should be performed using the qualitative approach described above. Based on the qualitative assessment, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company was less than its carry value. While there were positive qualitative factors discovered during the qualitative analysis, the instability of the market price of the Company’s common stock and the decline in revenues were significant adverse factors that directed a full assessment. In estimating fair value, the Company utilized the market capitalization to estimate the fair value. The impairment test performed by the Company indicated that the estimated fair value of the Company was less than its carrying amount. As a result of the analysis performed, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1.0$0.1 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Intangibles

We review our amortizable long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of the asset (group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss may be needed if the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset (group). The amount of the loss would be determined by comparing the fair value of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset (group).respectively. There were no impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) represents the fair value assigned to research and development assets that were not fully developed at the date of the Merger. Until the IPR&D projects are completed, the assets are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets and subject to impairment testing. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there was no impairment of IPR&D.
Stock-Based Compensation.
All stock-based awards to date have exercise prices equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant and have ten-year contractual terms. Unvested awards as of September 30, 2017 had vesting periods of up to four years from the date of grant. None of the awards outstanding at September 30, 2017 are subject to performance or market-based vesting conditions.
Net Sales Recognition.
Revenue is realized and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
Collectability is reasonably assured.

In our New Haven, Connecticut laboratory, we primarily recognize revenue for services rendered upon completion of the testing process. Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors and others for services rendered, including retroactive adjustment under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. Revenue under third-party payor agreements is subject to audit and retroactive adjustment. Provisions for third-party payor settlements are provided in the period in which the related services are rendered and adjusted in the future periods, as final settlements are determined.

In our Omaha, Nebraska laboratory, we perform services on a project by project basis. When we receive payment in advance, we initially defer the revenue and recognize it when we deliver the service. These projects typically do not extend beyond one year.

At each of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, deferred net sales included in the balance sheet in deferred revenue were $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government agencies for specific net sales producing0 finance lease ROU asset transactions are recorded net with no effect on the income statement.

Beneficial Conversion Features.

The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible note payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible note payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the first conversion date using the effective interest method. If the note payable is retired prior tocustomer at the end of its contractualthe lease term at no additional cost.  For these contracts, the unamortized discountCompany accounts for the arrangements as sales-type leases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and has subsequently issued supplemental and/or clarifying ASUs (collectively “ASC 606”). ASC 606 outlines a five-step framework that intends to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and eliminate industry-specific guidance. In addition, ASC 606 revises current disclosure requirements in an effort to help financial statement users better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. ASC 606 will be effective for our annual reporting period beginning on January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that year. ASC 606 may be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or use the modified retrospective transition method with the cumulative effect of initial adoption recognized at the date of initial application. We expect to apply the new standard using the modified retrospective method upon its adoption date on January 1, 2018. Under the modified retrospective method, we will recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information will not be restated and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Implementation steps we are taking include reviewing our current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from the application of this standard, determining key factors to recognize revenue as prescribed by the new standard that may be applicable to each of our business segments, analyzing our current portfolio of business contracts including our third-party payor contracts and evaluating our historical accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences in applying the new guidance. We anticipate that our evaluation will include the related qualitative disclosures regarding the potential impact of the effects of the accounting policies we expect to apply and a comparison to our current revenue recognition policies. We expect to complete this process prior to the filing of, and make disclosures in, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Based on our evaluation so far, we believe there will be no significant changes required to our2020, the estimated future minimum lease payments, excluding non-lease components, are as follows:

Adoption of the new standard is not expected to materially change the timing or amount of revenue recognized2020, operating cash flows from operating leases was $0.2 million, respectively, and operating lease ROU assets obtained in our Consolidated Financial Statements.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard amends the recognition of lease assets andexchange for operating lease liabilities by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases and amends disclosure requirements associated with leasing arrangements. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, statutory tax withholding requirements, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09 as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance does not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.ASU No. 2016-15 eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within that fiscal year. We do not believe ASU No. 2016-15 will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU No. 2017-01 adds guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe ASU No. 2017-01 will have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. It is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed with a measurement date after January 1, 2017. The Company has adopted this standard and, as discussed above, performed interim impairment testing of goodwillwas 0, respectively.

Operating Lease Costs

Operating lease costs were approximately $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 which resulted in2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the Company recording a goodwill impairment charge of $1.0 million.


In July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earning Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which was issued in two parts, Part I, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and Part II, Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of ASC No. 2017-11 addresses the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The amendments in Part II of ASU 2017-11 recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the codification, to a scope exception. Part II amendments do not have an accounting effect. The ASU 2017-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has early adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017 with the only impact being that the warrants with down round provisions are classified within equity.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt in the approximate amount of $53,000, related to the extinguishment of the Connecticut Innovations, DECD and Webster Bank loans.

Convertible Promissory Notes.

The Company, as part of the merger, assumed an Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) with an accredited investor (the “Investor”) in the aggregate principal amount of $125,000 and interest accrues at a rate of 6% per year. The Note provided that two-thirds of the outstanding principal amount of the Note was due upon the earlier to occur of the close of the Merger or June 17, 2017 (such applicable date, the “Maturity Date”).  The remaining one-third of the principal amount outstanding on the Note was to be paid on the six month anniversary of the Maturity Date.

On the Maturity Date, the then outstanding aggregate amount owed on the Note of $143,041 ($125,000 in principal amount and $18,041 of accrued interest) became due. Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company’s failure to pay any principal or interest within 10 days of the date such payment is due will constitute an event of default (the “Prospective Event of Default”). On June 21, 2017, the Investor agreed to waive the Prospective Event of Default and agreed to further extend the Maturity Date of the Note pursuant to a side letter to the Note (the “Side Letter”). The Side Letter provides that two-thirds of the outstanding principal amount of the Note must be paid upon the earlier to occur of (1) the closing of a public offering by the Company of either common stock, convertible preferred stock or convertible preferred notes or (2) August 16, 2017 (such applicable date, the “Deferred Maturity Date”).

The remaining one-third of the principal amount outstanding on the Note must be paid on the six month anniversary of the Deferred Maturity Date (the “Extended Maturity Date”). All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Note will be due and immediately payable on the Extended Maturity Date, unless the Note is converted in which case such interest will be payable in shares of the Company’s common stock as part of the conversion. As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding principal amount due was $41,666 and accrued interest was approximately $20,000 and is included within accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The convertible bridge notes had conversion terms of (i) convertible into Series C Preferred Units of the Company (at a 30% discount) upon a Qualified Series C Financing (as defined in the note agreement), (ii) at the option of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding principal amount of the notes, convertible into Series C Preferred Units of the Company (at a 30% discount) upon any other Series C Financing, or (iii) if no such Qualified Series C Financing occurs, or no such optional conversion takes place by the maturity date (as hereinafter defined), the convertible notes will be fully repaid by Company or the notes and accrued and unpaid interest shall convert into Preferred Series B Units (at a 30% discount) of the Preferred Series B conversion Price as defined in the operating agreement provided that notice is given to the Company at least one day prior to maturity.  In the event a Deemed Liquidity Event (merger, sale, IPO, or transaction with exchange of 50% or more of voting power) the holders of the notes at their sole discretion can (a) require the Company to pay an amount equal to two times the principal and accrued and unpaid interest or (b) convert all unpaid principal and interest at a rate of 70% of the applicable security.  These notes were subordinated to Connecticut Innovations, DECD and Webster Bank.

In connection with the Merger, on the Closing Date, convertible bridge notes of $695,000, plus $192,000 of accrued interest, were converted into 155,639 shares of Precipio common stock.

2017 New Bridge Notes I.

Prior to the Merger, the Company (then Transgenomic) completed the sale of an aggregate of $1.2 million of non-convertible promissory notes (the “2017 Bridge Notes”) in a bridge financing pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), for which $561,500 was then given to Precipio Diagnostics through the issuance of a promissory note and is eliminated in consolidation. The financing was intended to help facilitate the completion of the Merger. The 2017 Bridge Notes had an annual interest rate of 4% and a 90-day maturity. The 2017 Bridge Notes may be repaid by the Company at any time in cash upon payment of a 20% premium. In connection with the issuance of the 2017 Bridge Notes, the Company issued warrants (the “2017 Bridge Warrants”) to acquire 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share, subject to anti-dilution protection. The Purchase Agreement provides certain piggyback registration rights for the holders of the 2017 Bridge Warrants for a period of six months after the closing of the bridge financing. Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”) acted as placement agent for the bridge financing and received a placement agent fee of $84,000 and warrants (the “Aegis Warrants”) to acquire 5,600 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share. The Aegis Warrants are identical to the 2017 Bridge Warrants except that the Aegis Warrants do not have anti-dilution protection.

At the time of the Merger, the 2017 Bridge Notes were extinguished and replaced with convertible promissory notes (the “2017 New Bridge Notes I”) with an original principal amount of $1.2 million in the aggregate pursuant to an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) entered into on the Closing Date. The 2017 New Bridge Notes I have an annual interest rate of 8.0% and are due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) October 1, 2017 or (ii) the closing of a Qualified Offering (as defined in the 2017 New Bridge Notes I). The 2017 New Bridge Notes I are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $3.736329 per share, subject to adjustment, and may be convertible into shares of our preferred stock at the holder’s option if the Company does not complete a Qualified Offering (as defined in the 2017 New Bridge Notes I) by October 1, 2017. The Company may redeem the 2017 New Bridge Notes I at any time in cash upon payment of a 20% premium, or $240,000. As the convertible promissory notes were convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion rate lower than the fair market value of the common stock at the time of issuance, the Company recorded $989,000 as a beneficial conversion feature, which was recorded as a debt discount in the balance sheet. The discount will be amortized using the effective interest method through the first conversion date of the 2017 New Bridge Notes I. On August 28, 2017, these 2017 New Bridge Notes I were partially converted and the remaining were paid off, refer below for further discussion.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the 2017 Bridge Warrants were canceled and replaced with new warrants to acquire 45,600 shares of our common stock (the “2017 New Bridge Warrants”). The initial exercise price of the 2017 New Bridge Warrants is $7.50 (subject to adjustments). If the Company completes a Qualified Offering (as defined in the 2017 New Bridge warrants), the exercise price of the 2017 New Bridge Warrants will become the lower of (i) $7.50, or (ii) 110% of the per share offering price in the Qualified Offering, but in no event lower than $1.50 per share, which has been considered a down round provision. At issuance, the 2017 New Bridge Warrants had a fair value of $211,000 and were recorded as a debt discount to the related 2017 New Bridge Notes I, with the corresponding entry to additional paid in capital as the warrants were considered classified as equity in accordance with GAAP. As discussed in Note 2 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-11, which allowed the Company to treat the warrants as equity classified, despite the down round provision.

2017 New Bridge Note II.

In connection with the Merger, on the Closing Date and pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Bridge Purchase Agreement”), the Company completed the sale of an aggregate of $800,000 of a convertible promissory note (the “2017 New

Bridge Note II”). The Company received net proceeds of $721,000 from the sale of the 2017 New Bridge Note II, which will be used for working capital purposes. The 2017 New Bridge Note II has an annual interest rate of 8.0% and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) October 1, 2017 or (ii) the closing of a Qualified Offering (as defined in the 2017 New Bridge Note II). The 2017 New Bridge Note II is convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $3.736329 per share, subject to adjustment, and may be convertible into shares of our preferred stock at the holder’s option if the Company does not complete a Qualified Offering (as defined in the 2017 New Bridge Note II) by October 1, 2017. The Company may redeem the 2017 New Bridge Note II at any time in cash upon payment of a 20% premium, or $160,000.

As the 2017 New Bridge Note II was convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion rate lower than the fair market value of the common stock at the time of issuance, the Company recorded $656,000 as a beneficial conversion feature, which was recorded as a debt discount in the balance sheet. The discount will be amortized using the effective interest method through the first conversion date of the 2017 New Bridge Note II. On August 28, 2017, this 2017 New Bridge Note II was partially converted and the remaining was paid off, refer below for further discussion.

In connection with the bridge financing and the assumption of certain obligations by an entity controlled by Mark Rimer (a director of the Company), the Company issued to that entity warrants (the “Side Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 91,429 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share (subject to adjustment), with a fair value of $487,000 at the date of issuance. The Side Warrants have a term of 5 years and are exercisable as to 22,857 shares of the Company's common stock upon grant and as to 68,572 shares of the Company's common stock upon the entity’s performance of the assumed obligations. All performance obligations have been met and the Company has recorded a merger advisory expense of $73,000 and $487,000 related to the Side Warrants during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
In addition, upon the Company consummating one or more rounds of equity financing following July 1, 2017, with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $7 million, the Company will use a portion of the proceeds from such financing to repay the principal amount of the 2017 New Bridge Notes, together with any premium2021 and interest.

Conversion and Payment of the 2017 New Bridge Notes I and New Bridge Note II (collectively, the “New Bridge Notes”).

On August 28, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the “August 2017 Offering”) of 6,000 units consisting of one share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and one warrant to purchase up to 400 shares of the Company's common stock at a combined public offering price of $1,000 per unit for gross proceeds of $6.0 million (see Note 10 - Stockholders' Equity).

At the time of the closing of the August 2017 Offering, the aggregate amount due to the holders of the New Bridge Notes was $2,436,551 ($2,000,000 in principal, $400,000 for a 20% redemption premium and $36,551 in accrued interest). Upon the closing of the August 2017 Offering, the Company made a cash payment of $1,536,551 to extinguish certain notes and the remaining $900,000 of the Company’s New Bridge Notes were converted into an aggregate of 359,999 shares of the Company's common stock (the “Note Conversion Shares”) at a conversion price of $2.50 per share and 359,999 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock (the “Note Conversion Warrants”).2020. The Company issued the Note Conversion Warrants to the holders of the New Bridge Notes as consideration for their election to convert their New Bridge Notes into shares of the Company's common stock. The Company treated the $900,000 debt conversion as an induced conversion and determined that the fair value of the consideration given in the conversion exceeded the fair value of the debt pursuant to its original conversion terms by approximately $1.0 million. This amount was recorded as an expense included in loss on extinguishment of debt and induced conversion of convertible bridge notes in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company also recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.4 million related to the extinguishment of the $1,536,551 portion paid in cash, which was also recorded as an expensebalances within the loss on extinguishment of debt and induced conversion of convertible bridge notes line in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 10 Stockholders Equity (Deficit) for discussion of the Note Conversion Warrants.

Upon conversion and payment of the New Bridge Notes, all remaining debt discounts and debt issuance costs associated with the conversions were fully amortized to interest expense and debt discounts and debt issuance costs associated with the portion paid in cash were amortized to interest expense up through the payment date.

8. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in legal proceedings related to matters, whichthese accounts are incidental to its business. The Company has also assumed a number of claims as a result of the Merger. See below for a discussion on these matters.

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

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

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

Claims assumed in the Merger

The Company assumed a number of claims as a result of the Merger. In addition to the claims described below, we are delinquent on the payment of outstanding accounts payable for certain of our vendors and suppliers who have taken or have threatened to take legal action to collect such outstanding amounts.

On February 25, 2016, the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska (“UNMC”) filed a lawsuit against us in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, for breach of contract and seeking recovery of $0.7 million owed by us to UNMC. A $0.4 million liability was recorded and is reflected in accrued expenses at December 31, 2016. We and UNMC entered into a settlement agreement dated February 6, 2017, which included, among other things, a mutual general release of claims, and our agreement to pay $0.4 million to UNMC in installments over a period of time. On September 8, 2017, we and UNMC entered into a First Amendment to the Settlement Agreement with quarterly payments in the amount of $25,000 due commencing on December 15, 2017 and ending on June 15, 2020 and a final payment of $100,000 due on or before September 15, 2020. A $0.4 million liability has been recorded and is reflected in accrued expenses at September 30, 2017.

On April 13, 2016, Fox Chase Cancer Center (“Fox Chase”) filed a lawsuit against Transgenomic in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, First Judicial District of Pennsylvania Civil Trial Division (the “Court of Common Pleas”), alleging, among other things, breach of contract, tortious interference with present and prospective contractual relations, unjust enrichment, fraudulent conversion and conspiracy and seeking punitive damages in addition to damages and other relief. This lawsuit relates to a license agreement Transgenomic entered into with Fox Chase in August 2000, as amended (the “License Agreement”), as well as the assignment of certain of Transgenomic's rights under the License Agreement to Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. (“IDT”) pursuant to the Surveyor Kit Patent, Technology and Inventory Purchase Agreement Transgenomic entered into with IDT effective as of July 1, 2014 (the “IDT Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the IDT Agreement, Transgenomic agreed to indemnify IDT with respect to certain of the claims asserted in the Fox Chase proceeding. On July 8, 2016, the Court of Common Pleas sustained Transgenomic's preliminary objections to several of Fox Chase’s claims and dismissed the claims for tortious interference,

fraudulent conversion, conspiracy, punitive damages and attorney’s fees.  Accordingly, the case has been narrowed so that only certain contract claims and an unjust enrichment claim remained pending against Transgenomic.
During June 2017, prior to the Merger, Transgenomic entered into a settlement agreement with Fox Chase (the “Agreement”) to pay $175,000 in three installments, which will resolve all outstanding claims in the litigation brought in April 2016 by Fox Chase against Transgenomic in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County (the “Action”). The case will remain pending with the Court until all settlement payments have been made to Fox Chase. On October 3, 2017, the final payment of $55,000 was paid to Fox Chase totaling $175,000. Once received Fox Chase was obligated to cause the Action to be formally dismissed with prejudice. The dismissal is still pending as of November 15, 2017. Also, on July 13, 2017 the Company entered into an agreement with its co-Defendant, IDT, regarding the Company’s indemnity obligations to IDT for legal fees and expenses incurred in the Action pursuant to the terms of the IDT Agreement. The IDT Agreement provides for monthly payments of $27,800 from the Company to IDT, in the total amount of $139,000, commencing on August 15, 2017 and concluding on December 15, 2017.

Effective as of October 31, 2017, we and Mount Sinai agreed to enter into a new settlement agreement to restructure these liabilities into a secured, long-term debt obligation of $0.4 million accruing interest at 10% with monthly principal and interest payments of $12,700 beginning in July 2018 and continuing over 48 months and to issue warrants in the amount of 24,900 shares, that are exercisable for common stock, on a 1-for-1 basis, with an exercise price of $7.50 per share, exercisable on the date of issuance with a term of 5 years.

We and SPDC entered into a settlement agreement dated March 6, 2017, which included, among other things, a mutual general release of claims, and our agreement to pay approximately $0.4 million to SPDC in installments over a period of time.

On March 9, 2016, counsel for Edge BioSystems, Inc. (“EdgeBio”) sent a demand letter on behalf of EdgeBio to us in connection with the terms of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 8, 2015 (the “EdgeBio Agreement”). EdgeBio alleges, among other things, that certain customers of EdgeBio erroneously remitted payments to us, that such payments should have been paid to EdgeBio and that we failed to remit these funds to EdgeBio in violation of the terms of the EdgeBio Agreement. On September 13, 2016, we received a demand for payment letter from EdgeBio’s counsel alleging that the balance due to EdgeBio is approximately $0.1 million. On September 19, 2017 a summary of action from the Judicial District of New Haven, CT for a judgement of $113,000 was issued. A liability of approximately $0.1 million has been recorded and is reflected in accrued expenses at September 30, 2017 and we and EdgeBio are currently in discussions regarding settlement.
On February 17, 2017, Jesse Campbell (“Campbell”) filed a lawsuit individually and on behalf of others similarly situated against us in the District Court for the District of Nebraska alleging we have a materially incomplete and misleading proxy relating to a potential merger and that the merger agreement’s deal protection provisions deter superior offers.  As a result, he alleges that we have violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereafter.  Although we intend to defend the lawsuit, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of this case. Given the uncertainty of litigation, the legal standards that must be met for, among other things, class certification and success on the merits, we are unable to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, at this time that may result from this action. In the event that a settlement is reached related to these matters, the amount of such settlement may be material to our results of operations and financial condition and may have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.

9. INCOME TAXES

The Company's transaction with Precipio Diagnostics, LLC constitutes a reverse acquisition under Treas. Reg.§˜1.1502-75(d)(3). Consequently, the Company's portion of the year, prior to the transaction will not be included in the current year’s US federal consolidated income tax return, but instead filed in a separate short period tax return.

Income tax expense for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was zero as a result of recording a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset generated predominantly by net operating losses.

We had no material interest or penalties during fiscal 2017 or fiscal 2016, and we do not anticipate any such items during the next twelve months. Our policy is to record interest and penalties directly related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As a result of the merger, there was a change in ownership as defined in IRS § 382. Because of this change, use of a portion of the accumulated net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards will be eliminated and the remainder will be limited in future periods. Since the net deferred tax assets have a full valuation allowance recorded, any limitation generated from this calculation would not effect the current financial statements.

The authority of the Board of Directors includes, but is not limited to, the determination or fixing of the following with respect to shares of such class or any series thereof: (i) the number of shares; (ii) the dividend rate, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, from which date; (iii) whether shares are to be redeemable and, if so, the terms and amount of any sinking fund providing for the purchase or redemption of such shares; (iv) whether shares shall be convertible and, if so, the terms and provisions thereof; (v) what restrictions are to apply, if any, on the issue or reissue of any additional preferred stock; and (vi) whether shares have voting rights. The preferred stock may be issued with a preference over the common stock as to the payment of dividends. We have no current plans to issue any additional preferred stock. Classes of stock such as the preferred stock may be used, in certain circumstances, to create voting impediments on extraordinary corporate transactions or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a merger or otherwise to gain control of the Company. For the foregoing reasons, any additional preferred stock issued by the Company could have an adverse effect on the rights of the holders of the common stock.

So long as the shares of Series A Senior stockextent dividends are outstanding certain actions will require the separate approval of at least two-thirds of the Series A Senior stock, including: changes to the terms (requires three-fourths approval) of the Series A Senior stock, changes to the number of authorized shares of Series A Senior stock, issuing a series of preferred stock that is senior to the Series A Senior stock, changing the size of the board of directors, certain changes to the capital stock of the Company, bankruptcy proceedings and granting security interests in the Company’s assets.
The Series A Senior stock will be convertible into the Company's common stock at any time at the then applicable conversion price. The initial conversion price for the Series A Senior stock issued in connection with the Merger and the other transactions described herein is $3.736329, but will be subject to anti-dilution protections including adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, other distributions, recapitalizations and the like. Additionally, each holder of the Series A Senior stock will have a right to convert such holder's Series A Senior stock into securities issued in any future private offering of the Company's securities at a 15% discount to the proposed price in such private offering.
The Series A Senior stock will be entitled to an annual 8% cumulative payment in lieu of interest or dividends, payable in-kind for the first two years and in cash or in-kind thereafter, at the option of the Company. The Series A Senior stock also will be entitled to share in any dividends paid on the Company's common stock.
As discussed in Note 3 - Reverse Merger, in connection with the Merger, the Company issued 1) to holders of certain Transgenomic secured indebtedness, 802,925 shares of Series A Senior stock in an amount equal to $3 million, 2) to holders of certain Precipio Diagnostic indebtedness, 802,920 shares of Series A Senior stock in an amount equal to $3 million and 3) to certain investors, 107,056 shares of Series A Senior stock in exchange for $400,000 in a private placement.
We determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature in connection with the issuances of the Series A Senior stock since the conversion price of $3.736329 was at a discount to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at issuance date. The Series A Senior stock is non-redeemable and as a result, the Company recognized the full beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $5.2 million as a deemed dividend at the time of issuance.

Upon the closing of the August 2017 Offering, all of the Company’s outstanding Series A Senior stock converted into an aggregate of 1,712,901 shares of the Company's common stock, at the existing conversion rate of one share of Common Stock for one share of Series A Senior stock (the “Conversion”)stock). The Company also issued an aggregate of 22,518 shares of Series A Senior stock to these holders, which shares represented the Series A Preferred Payment (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock) accrued through the date of Conversion and immediately converted into an aggregate of 22,518 shares of the Company's common stock in connection with the Conversion. The Company issued warrants (the “Series A Conversion Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 856,446 shares of Common Stock to these former holders of Series A Senior stock as consideration for the conversion of their shares of Series A Senior stock into shares of Common Stock. The Company treated this as an induced conversion of the Series A Senior stock.

At the date of the Conversion, the fair value of the Series A Conversion Warrants was approximately $1.4 million. The Company determined that the $1.4 million represented the excess fair value of all consideration transferred to the Series A Senior holders as compared to the fair value of the Series A Senior stock pursuant to its original conversion terms. The $1.4 million was recorded as a deemed dividend at the time of the Conversion.

The Series A Preferred Payment of 22,518 shares of Series A Senior stock had a fair value of approximately $84,000 at the time of issuance and was recorded as a deemed dividend on preferred shares.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had zero shares of Series A Senior outstanding.
Series B Preferred Stock.

On August 28, 2017, the Company completed the Augustan underwritten public offering (the “August 2017 Offering of 6,000 unitsOffering”) consisting of one share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock par value $0.01 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), which is convertible into 400 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a conversion price of $2.50 per share, and one warrant to purchase up to 400 shares of common stock (the “August 2017 Offering Warrants”) at a combined public offering price of $1,000 per unit. The August 2017 Offering included the sale of 280,000 August 2017 Offering Warrants pursuant to the over-allotment option exercised by Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”) for $0.01 per share or $2,800. The Offering was completed pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement dated as of August 22, 2017 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Company and Aegis. The net proceeds

received by the Company from the sale of the units was approximately $5.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, which have been recorded as stock issuance costs within additional paid in capital.

For purposes of recording this transaction, the gross proceeds of $6.0 million from the August 2017 Offering were allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock and the August 2017 Offering Warrants based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance. The portion allocated to the Series B Preferred stock was $3.1 million with the remaining $2.9 million allocated to the August 2017 Offering Warrants. As a result of the allocation of the proceeds, we determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature in connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock since the calculated effective conversion price was at a discount to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at issuance date. The Company recognized the full beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $2.3 million as a deemed dividend at time of issuance.

warrants.

The conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock contains a down round feature. As discussed in Note 2 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-11, which allowed the Company to treat the preferred stock as equity classified, despite the down round provision. The Company will recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. At that time, the effect would be treated as a deemed dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in our basic earnings per share calculation.


During

The March 2020 Amendment, see Note 4 – Convertible Notes, triggered the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, 2,359 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 943,600 shares of our common stock.


At September 30, 2017, the Company had 3,641 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.
Common Stock Warrants.
Prior to the Merger, in connection with the line of credit with Connecticut Innovations, the Company issued warrants to purchase 8,542 Series A Preferred shares of the Company, which were classified as an equity warrant, at an exercise price of $2.93 per unit, subject to adjustments as defined in the warrant agreement. The warrants were valued at $6,000 at the date of the grant utilizing the Black-Sholes model (volatility 40%, expected life 7 years, and risk free rate .36%). The value of the warrants was treated as a debt discount. At the Merger date, the warrants were exercised and then converted into shares of Precipio common stock.
In connection with the Webster Bank agreement, the Company issued 7 years warrants to purchase 20,000 Series B Preferred shares of the Company. At the Merger date, Webster Bank declined to exercise their warrants and, per the terms of the warrant agreement, the warrants were retired.
In March 2016, the Company entered into a redemption and exchange agreement with certain member's relating to their 275,237 Preferred A Units and 208,087 Preferred B Units. Under the terms of the agreement, the unit holders would exchange their units in the Company for the issuance of debt. The aggregate purchase price per the agreement was the member's initial investment of $750,000 for Preferred A Units and $965,000 for Preferred B Units, along with a preferred return of 8%, recorded as a dividend in the amount of $432,716. In addition to the debt issued as consideration for the members' preferred units, the Company also issued common warrant units, which allows the holders to collectively purchase common units of the Company, representing approximately 60% of the Company at the time of exercise. At the time of issuance, this represented approximately 1,958,204 common units. The common warrant units had a $0.00 exercise price with a ten year expiration date. The common warrant units were classified as equity awards and the fair value upon issuance was calculated utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis to value the Company's equity and an option pricing method to allocate the value of the equity. The fair value of the warrants was determined directly utilizing the option pricing method as the exercise price was $0.00. The aggregate value of the common warrant units was $1,421,738, which was considered a deemed dividend. At the time of the Merger, these warrants were converted into 1,958,204 shares of Precipio common stock.

9. FAIR VALUE


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

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

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

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

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


Common Stock Warrant Liabilities.


Certain of our issued and outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock do not qualify to be treated as equity and, accordingly, are recorded as a liability.


2016 Warrant Liability
The Company assumed the 2016 Warrant Liability in the Merger and it represents the fair value of Transgenomic warrants issued in January 2016, of which, 25,584 warrants remain outstanding as of September 30, 2017. We are required to record these instruments at fair value at each reporting date and changes are recorded as a non-cash adjustment to earnings. The gains or losses included in earnings are reported in other income (expense) in our condensed consolidated Statementstatements of Operations.operations.

2016 Warrant Liability

The Company has a warrant liability related to warrants issued in January 2016 (the “2016 Warrant Liability”) and it represents the fair value of such warrants, of which, 357 warrants were settled for cash of approximately $0.1 million in January 2021. The balance of the 2016 Warrant Liability was 0 as of September 30, 2021.

The 2016 Warrant Liability is considered a Level 3 financial instrument and iswas valued using a binomial lattice simulationthe Black Scholes model. This method is well suited to valuing options with non-standard features. AssumptionsAs of December 31, 2020, assumptions and inputs used in the valuation of the common stock warrants2016 Warrant Liability include: our equity value, which was estimated using our stock priceremaining life to maturity of $2.16 as of September 30, 2017;less than one month; annual volatility of 137%135%; and a risk-free interest rate of 1.20%0.08%.

Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities

During 2018 and 2019, the Company issued warrants in connection with the issuance of Bridge Notes. All of these warrants issuances were classified as warrant liabilities (the “Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities”). See Note 4 - Convertible Notes for further discussion.

The Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities are considered Level 3 financial instruments and were valued using the Black Scholes model. As of September 30, 2021, assumptions used in the valuation of the Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities include: remaining life to maturity of 0.6 to 2.6 years; volatility rate of 169% to 206%; and risk free rate of 0.05% to 0.41%. As of December 31, 2020, assumptions used in the valuation of the Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities include: remaining life to maturity of 1.3 to 3.4 years; volatility rate of 162% to 201%; and risk free rate of 0.10% to 0.17%.

The Company's 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan") was terminated as to futureCompany currently issues stock awards on July 12, 2016. The Company'sunder its 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2017 Plan") was adopted by the Company's stockholders on June 5, 2017 andwhich will expire on June 5, 2027. The shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan were 2,717,431 at September 30, 2021, of which 68,767 were available for future grant. The shares authorized under the 2017 Plan were increased by 925,000 shares by stockholder vote on June 18, 2021 and are subject to annual increases on January 1 by 5% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lessor number of shares determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the shares authorized for issuance increased by 1,803,845 shares.

Stock Options.

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted stock options to purchase up to 1,907,347 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.89 per share.

11. SALES SERVICE REVENUE, NET AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from contracts with customers”

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

26

Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)

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

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

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

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

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

Nature of Contracts and Customers

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

Diagnostic testing

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

Clinical research grants

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

Biomarker testing and clinical project services

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

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

Reagents and other diagnostic products

Control of reagents and other diagnostic products are transferred to the customer at a point in time and, as such, the Company recognizes these revenues at a point in time based on the delivery method. These revenues include revenues from reagent sets for our HSRR program, COVID-19 antibody tests and other product sales and are included in other revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

27

Equipment leasing

The Company accounts for sales-type leases within the scope of ASC 842, Leases, as ASC 606 specifically excludes leases from its guidance. The sales-type leases result in the derecognition of the underlying asset, the recognition of profit or loss on the sale, and the recognition of an investment in leased asset.  Revenue from sales-type leases is recognized upfront on the commencement date of the lease, and is included in other revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, zero SARs shares were outstanding. During2021, revenue from sales-type leases was less than $0.1 million, respectively. There was 0 revenue from sales-type leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Disaggregation of Revenues by Transaction Type

We operate in 1 business segment and, therefore, the results of our operations are reported on a consolidated basis for purposes of segment reporting, consistent with internal management reporting. Service revenue, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was as follows:

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

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using the expected value method based on historical experience. The Company does not typically enter arrangements where multiple contracts can be combined as the terms regarding services are generally found within a single agreement/requisition form. The Company derives its revenues from the following types of transactions: diagnostic testing (“Diagnostic”), revenues from the Company’s ICP technology and bio-pharma projects encompassing genetic diagnostics (collectively “Biomarker”), revenues from clinical research grants from state and federal research programs and diagnostic product sales, including revenues from equipment leases and reagent sales associated with our HSRR program.

28

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue, or unearned revenue, refers to advance payments for products or services that are to be delivered in the future. The Company records such prepayment of unearned revenue as a liability, as revenue that has not yet been earned, but represents products or services that are owed to a customer. As the product or service is delivered over time, the Company recognizes the appropriate amount of revenue from deferred revenue. For the period ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the deferred revenue was $148,000 and $6,000, respectively.

Contractual Allowances and Adjustments

We are reimbursed by payers for services we provide. Payments for services covered by payers average less than billed charges. We monitor revenue and receivables from payers and record an estimated contractual allowance for certain revenue and receivable balances as of the revenue recognition date to properly account for anticipated differences between amounts estimated in our billing system and amounts ultimately reimbursed by payers. Accordingly, the total revenue and receivables reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements are recorded at the amounts expected to be received from these payers. For service revenue, the contractual allowance is estimated based on several criteria, including unbilled claims, historical trends based on actual claims paid, current contract and reimbursement terms and changes in customer base and payer/product mix. The billing functions for the remaining portion of our revenue are contracted and fixed fees for specific services and are recorded without an allowance for contractual discounts. The following table presents our revenues initially recognized for each associated payer class during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

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

Issuance of preferred stock and warrants

On November 2, 2017, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp. for the sale on a reasonable best efforts basis of 2,748 units, each consisting of one share of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $1,000 divided by $1.40 and warrants to purchase up to 1,962,857 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.63 per share (the “Warrants”) at a combined offering price of $1,000 per unit, in a registered direct offering (the “Series C Preferred Offering”). The Series C Preferred Stock includes a beneficial ownership blocker but has no dividend rights (except to the extent dividends are also paid on the common stock). The securities comprising the units are immediately separable and were issued separately.

The gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants, before deducting the placement agent fee and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company and assuming no exercise of the Warrants, were $2,748,000. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, growth of the Company’s sales force and business development team, progression of the Company’s product development and working capital. The offering closed on November 9, 2017.

The Series C Preferred Offering required the Company to adjust downward the exercise and conversion prices of various warrants and Series B Preferred Stock that were outstanding at the time of the closing of the Series C Preferred Offering due to the down round provisions contained in certain of the Company's warrants and Series B Preferred Stock.

Merger

On June 29, 2017, or the Closing Date, the Company (then known as Transgenomic, Inc., or Transgenomic), completed a reverse merger, or the Merger, with Precipio Diagnostics, LLC, a privately held Delaware limited liability company, or Precipio Diagnostics, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, dated October 12, 2016, as amended on February 2, 2017 and June 29, 2017, by and among Transgenomic, Precipio Diagnostics and New Haven Labs Inc., or Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transgenomic. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Precipio Diagnostics, with Precipio Diagnostics surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the merged company. In connection with the Merger, the Company changed its name from Transgenomic, Inc. to Precipio, Inc. and effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of its common stock. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the historical financial statements of Precipio Diagnostics become the Company's historical financial statements. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Precipio Diagnostics

Overview

We are included in the comparative prior periods.


Overview

Precipio, Inc., and Subsidiary, (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Precipio”) is a cancer diagnostics and reagent technology company providing diagnostic products, reagents and services to the oncology market. We have built and continue to develop a platform designed to eradicate the problem of misdiagnosis by harnessing the intellect, expertise and technologytechnologies developed withinin collaboration with academic institutions, and delivering quality diagnostic information to physicians and their patients worldwide. We operate a cancer diagnostic laboratory located in New Haven, Connecticut and have partnered with the Yale School of Medicinevarious academic institutions to capture the expertise, experience and technologies developed within academia so that we canto provide a better standard of cancer diagnostics and aim to solve the growing problem of cancer misdiagnosis. WeIn support of this platform, we also operate a research and development facility in Omaha, Nebraska which will focusfocuses on furtherthe development of various technologies, among them our internally developed proprietary products IV-Cell and HemeScreen. To expand our product offering capabilities, the Omaha facility was recently CLIA and CAP certified in order to process a variety of commercial molecular tests previously referenced out and to further expand our capabilities and know-how in transitioning R&D lab generated technology into a commercial laboratory environment.

The Company also holds an exclusive license to patented ICE-COLD-PCR or ICP, the patented(“ICP”) technology which was exclusively licensed by us from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc., or Dana-Farber, at Harvard University. We believe that such technology will provide additional

32

services and products directed at improving diagnostic outcomes and providing physicians with options for targeted therapies.

In April 2020, we formed a Joint Venture with Poplar. Poplar provides specialized laboratory testing services to a nationwide client base of gastroenterologists, dermatologists, oncologists, urologists, gynecologists and their patients. The researchbusiness purpose of the Joint Venture is to facilitate and development center will focuscapitalize on the developmentcombined capabilities, resources and healthcare industry relationships of its members by partnering, promoting and providing oncology services to office based physicians, hospitals and medical centers. Under the terms of the Joint Venture, Precipio SPV has a 49% ownership interest in the Joint Venture, with Poplar having a 51% ownership. We have determined that we hold a variable interest in the Joint Venture and that we are the primary beneficiary of the Joint Venture. Due to this determination, we consolidate the Joint Venture. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion.

Recent Developments

Business Activities – HemeScreen

The HemeScreen Reagent Program (“HSSR”) offers oncology practices and hospitals diagnostic reagent sets of our patent-pending HemeScreen technology which we believe will enable usat significantly lower costs, while reducing the test reporting time from 7 to commercialize other technologies developed by10 days down to 1 day and improving patient care.  The HSRR program provides a turn-key test offering together with an option to lease-to-own diagnostic testing equipment from the Company.  In most practice settings, such hematologic cancer tests are referenced out as both the cost of equipment and the cost of the diagnostic reagents are prohibitive.  By utilizing our currentHSSR program the customer can generate in-house testing revenues through reagent purchase contracts and future academic partners. Our platform connects patients, physicianseconomical lease-to-own rates.  Customers can generate in-house revenues and diagnostic experts residing within academic institutions. Launched in 2017,profits instead of sending out the platform facilitatessame tests to large commercial reference laboratories.  The HSSR customer also benefits from obtaining faster results, thus ultimately providing better patient care.  During the following relationships:


Patients: patients may search for physicians in their area and consult directly with academic experts that are onfirst half of 2021, the platform. Patients may also haveCompany began to recognize recurring revenues from its first few HSRR accounts.

Business Activities – COVID Testing

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company expanded access to new academic discoveries as they become commercially available.


Physicians: physicians can connect with academic experts to seek consultationsits COVID-19 rapid antibody test by listing on behalf of their patients and may also provide consultations for patients in their area seeking medical expertise in that physician’s relevant specialty. Physicians will also have access to new diagnostic solutions to help improve diagnostic accuracy.

Academic Experts: academic experts on the platform can make themselves available for patients or physicians seeking access to their expertise. Additionally, these experts have a platform available to commercialize their research discoveries.

We intend to continue updating our platform to allow for patient-to-patient communications and allow individuals to share stories and provide support for one another, to allow physicians to consult with their peers to discuss and share challenges and solutions, and to allow academic experts to interact with others in academia on the platform to discuss their research and cross-collaborate.

ICP was developed at Harvard andAmazon.com’s healthcare website platform.  The antibody test is licensed exclusively by us from Dana-Farber. The technology enables the detection of genetic mutations in liquid biopsies, such as blood samples. The field of liquid biopsies is a rapidly growing market, aimed at solving the challenge of obtaining genetic information on disease progression and changes from sources other than a tumor biopsy.

Gene sequencing is performed on tissue biopsies taken surgically from the tumor site in order to identify potential therapies that will be more effective in treating the patient. There are several limitations to this process. First, surgical procedures have several limitations, including:

Cost: surgical procedures are usually performed in a costly hospital environment. For example, according to a recent study the mean cost of lung biopsies is greater than $14,000; surgery also involves hospitalization and recovery time.

Surgical access: various tumor sites are not always accessible (e.g. brain tumors), in which cases no biopsy is available for diagnosis.

Risk: patient health may not permit undergoing an invasive surgery; therefore a biopsy cannot be obtained at all.

Time: the process of scheduling and coordinating a surgical procedure often takes time, delaying the start of patient treatment.

Second, there are several tumor-related limitations that provide a challenge to obtaining such genetic information from a tumor:
Tumors are heterogeneous by nature: a tissue sample from one area of the tumor may not properly represent the tumor’s entire genetic composition; thus, the diagnostic results from a tumor may be incomplete and non-representative.

Metastases: in order to accurately test a patient with metastatic disease, ideally an individual biopsy sample should be taken from each site (if those sites are even known). These biopsies are very difficult to obtain; therefore physicians often rely on biopsies taken from the primary tumor site.

The advent of technologies enabling liquid biopsies as an alternative to tumor biopsy and analysis is based on the fact that tumors (both primary and metastatic) shed cells and fragments of DNA into the blood stream. These blood samples are called “liquid biopsies” that contain circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA, which hold the same genetic information foundmanufactured in the tumor(s). That tumor DNA isUSA by Nirmidas Biotech, of California.  Precipio holds the target of genetic analysis. However, since the quantity of tumor DNA is very small in proportionexclusive rights to the “normal” (or “healthy”) DNA within the blood stream, there isdistribute this product on Amazon’s platform.  The COVID-19 rapid antibody test may currently be purchased by any medical practitioner having a need to identify and separate the tumor DNA from the normal DNA.

ICP is an enrichment technology that enables the laboratory to focus its analysis on the tumor DNA by enriching, and thereby “multiplying” the presence of, tumor DNA, while maintaining the normal DNA at its same level. Once the enrichment process has been completed, the laboratory genetic testing equipment is able to identify genetic abnormalities presented in the ctDNA, and an analysis can be conducted at a higher level of sensitivity, to enable the detection of such genetic abnormalities. The technology is encapsulated into a chemical that is provided in the form of a kit and sold to other laboratories who wish to conduct these tests in-house. The chemical within the kit is added to the specimen preparation process, enriching the sample for the tumor DNA so that the analysis will detect those genetic abnormalities.

The following discussion should be read together with our financial statements and related notes contained in this Quarterly Report. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be attained in the future.

Third Quarter 2017 Overview and Recent Highlights

During the third quarter of 2017, laboratory operations for Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments regulated commercial diagnostic testing were relocated and consolidated from the Omaha, Nebraska facility to New Haven, Connecticut. The initiative has enabled the Company to leverage its laboratory assets to accelerate commercialization of research and development products. The Company continued to work to integrate the finance organizations providing financial, billing, AP and accounting functions.
From a corporate governance perspective, we enhanced our board of directors by electing three experienced industry individuals. In addition, we also formulated our scientific advisory board, to create a strong scientific backbone to support the management team, and ensure that we continue product development.  We continue to build on our long standing relationships with Yale Medicine, Harvard, and Dana Farber. Collaboration with academia and biopharma remains an integral component of our strategy to access advanced genetic technology and diagnostic testing in the cancer marketplace for future growth.
During the three months ending September 30, 2017, we focused on expanding our product offering and market awareness for ICP-PCR. These efforts will continue through 2017 and beyond. In addition, significant resource was directed on communicating the broad technical synergies and product development capabilities created through the Merger. We signed our first multi-national distribution agreement with Clearbridge Health, a Singaporean-based healthcare company that will be providing Precipio’s services in numerous countries throughout Asia.

We have continued efforts to restructure our pre-merger debt obligations to manage expenses and cash flow obligations. On October 31, 2017, we entered into a Debt Settlement Agreement, or the Settlement Agreement, with certain of our accounts payable vendors, or the Creditors, pursuant to which the Creditors agreed to a reduction of approximately $5.0 million in currently due

vendor liabilities. We and the Creditors agreed to restructure these liabilities into approximately $2.5 million in secured, long-term vendor obligations with payments beginning in July 2018 and continuing over 48 months. In connection with the settlement, we agreed to issue to certain of the Creditors warrants to purchase approximately 86,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share.

We also entered into a Security Agreement, dated October 31, 2017, with a collateral agent for the Creditors, pursuant to which we granted to the collateral agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, a security interest in certain of our property to secure our obligations under the Settlement Agreement.

Uncertainties
We have historically operated at a loss and have not consistently generated sufficient cash from operating activities to cover our operatingNational Provider Identifier (“NPI”), hospitals, medical centers and other cash expenses. We have been able to historically finance our operating losses through borrowings or from the issuance of additional equity. At September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.4 million. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon a combination of generating additional revenue and raising necessary financing to meet our obligations and pay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raises substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016
Net Sales. Net sales were as follows:

 $(95) (26)%
Net sales decreased by $0.1 million, or 26%, during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease is entirely due to the decrease in cases processed during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. We processed 207 cases during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 269 cases during the same period in 2016, or a 23% decrease in cases. The decrease in volume is the result of turnover of key sales personnel.
Cost of Diagnostic Services. Cost of diagnostic services includes material and supply costs for the patient tests performed and other direct costs (primarily personnel costs and rent) associated with the operations of our laboratory. Cost of diagnostic services increased by $0.1 million, or 46%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase is due to increased professional fees involved with the processing of patient tests in the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Gross Profit. Gross profit and gross margins were as follows:

Gross loss was a negative (29)% of total net sales, during the third quarter of 2017, compared to 35% of total net sales during the same quarter in 2016. The gross profit decreased by $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 due to the decreased revenues discussed above and associated fixed costs to operate our laboratories.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, professional fees, travel costs, facility costs and depreciation. Our operating expenses increased by $3.1 million to $3.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in operating expenses reflects the increase in professional fees attributed to legal expenses related to the Merger and increased compensation and other costs associated with restructuring the organization resulting from the Merger. Additional increases in our general and administrative expenses resulted from increased amortization

related to acquired intangibles from the Merger and expenses related to operating as a public company. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2017 also included a $1.0 million impairment of goodwill charge resulting from interim impairment testing of goodwill during the current quarter. The interim impairment testing was triggered by the significant reduction in our market capitalization during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 includes interest expense of approximately $1.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense is due to $1.8 million of debt discounts and debt issuance costs that were amortized to interest expense during the third quarter of 2017 as a result of the payment and conversion of all of our convertible bridge notes during the quarter.
Also included in other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.1 million of advisory fees related to the Merger.
Lastly, other expense included $1.3 million in losses on extinguishment of debt and induced conversion of convertible bridge notes related to the conversion and payment of our convertible bridge notes during the current quarter.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, other income included $0.6 million in gains on settlements of certain vendor liabilities.

Net sales decreased by $0.6 million, or 45%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease is entirely due to the decrease in cases processed during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. We processed 636 cases during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 996 cases during the same period in 2016, or a 36% decrease in cases. The decrease in volume is the result of turnover of key sales personnel.
Cost of Diagnostic Services. Cost of diagnostic services includes material and supply costs for the patient tests performed and other direct costs (primarily personnel costs and rent) associated with the operations of our laboratory. Cost of diagnostic services increased by $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase is due to increased expenses to restructure and relocate the laboratory operations as a result of the Merger in 2017 and increased professional fees involved with the processing of patient tests during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Gross profit was a negative (5)% of total net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 49% of total net sales for the same period in 2016. The gross profit decreased by $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 and was due to the decreased revenues discussed above.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, professional fees, travel costs, facility costs and depreciation. Our operating expenses increased by $3.4 million to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in operating expenses reflects the increase in professional fees attributed to legal expenses related to the Merger and increased compensation and other costs associated with the increased headcount and additional facility resulting from the Merger. Additional increases in our general and administrative expenses resulted from increased amortization related to acquired intangibles from the Merger and expenses related to operating as a public company. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 also included a $1.0 million impairment of goodwill charge

resulting from interim impairment testing of goodwill during the third quarter. The interim impairment testing was triggered by the significant reduction in our market capitalization during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 includes interest expense of approximately $2.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense in the current year is due to $1.9 million of debt discounts and debt issuance costs that were amortized to interest expense during 2017 related to our convertible bridge notes which were paid or converted to common stock during the third quarter.
Also included in other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $2.7 million of advisory fees related to the Merger.

Going Concern

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable for a going concern, which assume that wethe Company will realize ourits assets and discharge ourits liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We haveThe Company has incurred substantial operating losses and havehas used cash in ourits operating activities for the past several years. As of September 30, 2017, we2021, the Company had a net loss of $10.7$6.3 million, and negative working capital of $12.6$11.4 million and net cash used in operating activities of $5.2 million. OurThe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is dependent upon a combination of achieving ourits business plan, including generating additional revenue and avoiding potential business disruption due to COVID-19, and raising additional financing to meet ourits debt obligations and paying liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.


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

On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Shares”), having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $22.0 million, to or through AGP, as sales agent (the “AGP Sales Agreement”), from time to time, in an “at the market

offering” (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Shares (the “ATM Offering”). The Company is limited in the number of shares it can sell in the ATM Offering due to the offering limitations currently applicable to the Company under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3 and the Company’s public float as of the applicable date of such sales, as well as the number of authorized and unissued shares available for issuance, in accordance with the terms of the AGP Sales Agreement. The offer and sales of our shares of Common Stock to or through AGP, will be made pursuant to the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-237445), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13, 2020, for an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. From April 2, 2021 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, we have already received approximately $15.4 million in gross proceeds through the AGP Sales Agreement from the sale of 4,501,000 shares of common stock, leaving the Company an additional $6.6 million available for future sales pursuant to the AGP Sales Agreement.

We completed the Merger on June 29, 2017 and in connection with the Merger we raised approximately $1.2 million in gross proceeds and during the third quarter we completed an underwritten public offering with net proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. These proceeds were used to fund our operating expenses and for payments on our debt and other liabilities. At September 30, 2017, we had cash on hand of $0.4 million. To execute our strategic plan, on November 9, 2017 we raised additional funds from the sale of our Series C Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase our common stock. Net proceeds from this offering were approximately $2.4 million. Also, on October 31, 2017, we entered into the Settlement Agreement with the Creditors pursuant to which the Creditors agreed to a reduction of approximately $5.0 million in currently due vendor liabilities. We and the Creditors agreed to restructure these liabilities into approximately $2.5 million in secured, long-term vendor obligations with payments beginning in July 2018 and continuing over 48 months.


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

Outlook - COVID-19 related

The COVID-19 outbreak, which spread worldwide in the first quarter of 2020, has caused significant business disruption. The extent of the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and impact on the Company's customers, employees and vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. These uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We have been actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation and its impact on the global economy and the Company. As the global pandemic evolves, we will continue to monitor the extent to which COVID-19 impacts our revenues, expenses and liquidity.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $2.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million as compared to the same period in 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, patient diagnostic service revenue increased $0.5 million as compared to the same period in 2020 due to an increase in cases processed. This increase was the result of a lower allowance for doubtful accounts recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the prior year period. We processed 1,103 cases during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 1,135 cases during the same period in 2020, or a 3% decrease in cases. Contract diagnostics revenue of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was flat as compared to the same period in 2020.  Other revenue increased $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, mostly resulting from increased revenue related to our HSRR program.

Analysis

Cost of Cash Flows -Sales. Cost of sales includes material and supply costs for the patient tests performed, costs related to HSRR products and other direct costs (primarily personnel costs, pathologist interpretation costs and rent) associated with the operations of our laboratory. Cost of sales increased by $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase included a $0.2 million increase in patient diagnostic costs and a $0.3 million increase in costs related to our HSRR program revenue as we increased personnel and other costs to support new customers.

Gross margin was 24% of total net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 23% of total net sales for the same period in 2020. Gross profit was approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The gross margin increased during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, as a result of an increase in patient diagnostic case revenue partially offset by the increase in costs associated with our HSRR program as discussed above. We operate a fully staffed CLIA and CAP certified clinical pathology and molecular laboratory. As such, it is necessary to maintain appropriate staffing levels to provide industry standard laboratory processing and reporting to ordering physicians. An increase in case volume will enable our laboratory to yield economies of scale and to leverage fixed expenses. We anticipate case volume and HSRR revenues to increase during the remainder of 2021 and into 2022 and for our costs per case to improve as additional economies of scale are possible.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, professional fees, travel costs, facility costs and depreciation and amortization. Our operating expenses increased by $0.2 million to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase included increases of $0.2 million in general and administrative expenses and $0.3 million in stock based compensation expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in sales and marketing expenses.

Other (Expense) Income. We recorded net other income of $0.6 million and net other expense of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The current year period other income of $0.6 is primarily attributable to income recorded on warrant revaluations.

The gross margin increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, as a result of increases in case volume and revenue.

As such, it is necessary to maintain appropriate staffing levels to provide industry standard laboratory processing and reporting to ordering physicians. The increase in case volume enabled our laboratory to yield economies of scale and to leverage fixed expenses. We anticipate case volume to increase during 2021 and for our costs per case to improve as additional economies of scale are possible.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, professional fees, travel costs, facility costs and depreciation and amortization. Our operating expenses increased by $0.9 million to $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase included an increase of $0.6 million in general and administrative expenses due to an increase in personnel costs and professional fees and an increase of $0.8 million in stock based compensation expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in sales and marketing expenses resulting from a decrease in personnel costs.

Other (Expense) Income. We recorded net other income of $0.4 million and net other expense of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The current year period other income of $0.4 million includes $0.4 million of expense from warrant revaluations partially offset by $0.8 million of a gain on forgiveness of debt related to the forgiveness of our PPP Loan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net other expense of $1.8 million includes $0.3 million of interest expense from the amortization of debt discounts, net of accretion of debt premiums, related to convertible notes, $0.2 million of other interest expense, $1.2 million expense for loss on extinguishment of convertible notes which was recorded in conjunction with the March 2020 Amendment and $0.3 million of expense recorded on warrant revaluations. The expenses were partially offset by $0.2 million of other income. Approximately $0.1 million of the other income is funds we received from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”). As part of the CARES Act, HHS distributed funds to healthcare providers that received Medicare fee-for-service reimbursements in 2019. The payments from HHS are not loans and will not be required to be repaid.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluatedan evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of September 30, 2017. Our management recognizes that neither our disclosure controls and procedures nor our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all fraud and material error.the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives. Further, the design of adesired control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,objectives, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Companya company have been detected. The designManagement is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of any system ofpossible controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.procedures. Based on the evaluation, of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017, ourthe Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are notwere effective at a reasonable assurance level.


A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that,level as of September 30, 2017, the following deficiencies, that were noted in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, continue to be material weaknesses:2021.


38

The Company’s inability to account for the complex technical accounting treatment
The Company’s controls as related to revenue recognition resulting from the fact the Company does not have contracts with certain payors and does not have proper controls over the estimates for doubtful accounts and contractual allowances.

Accounting for technical accounting and valuation of complex debt and equity instruments:

A material weakness exists pertaining to a lack of expertise in the technical accounting and valuation of complex debt and equity instruments that are required to be reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the valuation of fair values.  To address the material weaknesses the Company continues to seek assistance with various third parties with expertise in such instruments and matters of fair value, in order to ensure that the Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on a timely basis.

Controls related to revenue recognition:

A material weakness exists due to the fact the Company does not have contracts with certain payors and does not have proper controls over the estimates for doubtful accounts and contractual allowances. The Company’s net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors and others for services rendered. Revenue estimates are also subject to retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements. Healthcare reimbursement laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs that represent a portion of the Company’s net patient service revenues

are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates could change by a material amount in the near future. To address the material weakness the Company has added an additional review and reconciliation step to the revenue recognition process to ensure that all reported revenue recognizes appropriate third party contractual allowances and allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, the additional review process will include current collection trends of payments and their impact on realizable revenues.

While implementation of the remediation actions are in process, it will take time for such actions to be fully integrated and confirmed to be effective and sustainable. Until such time, the material weaknesses described above will continue to exist.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 20172021 and concluded that there have not been any changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

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

Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government healthcare programs together with the Notesimposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with fraud and abuse regulations, as well as other applicable government laws and regulations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that may have a material effect on the operating results of our business and our financial condition. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K as updated in our Quarterly Report for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and this Quarterly Report, are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.


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


We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to incur losses in the future. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have an accumulated total deficit of approximately $21.5 million and $10.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2021, we had a net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $19.8$6.3 million, working capital of $11.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively.net cash used in operating activities of $5.2 million. To date, we have experienced negative cash flow from development of our diagnostic technology, as well as from the costs associated with establishing a laboratory and building a sales force to market our products and services. We expect to incur substantial net losses for the foreseeable future to further develop and commercialize our diagnostic technology. We also expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase due to the additional costs associated with market development activities and expanding our staff to sell and support our products. Our ability to achieve or, if achieved, sustain profitability is based on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the market acceptance of our products, competitive product development and our market penetration and margins. We may never be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or, if achieved, sustain profitability.


Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with further development and commercialization of our diagnostic technology and any future tests, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if ever. We may never become profitable and you may never receive a return on an investment in our securities. An investor in our securities must carefully consider the substantial challenges, risks and uncertainties inherent

40

in the development and commercialization of tests in the medical diagnostic industry. We may never successfully commercialize our diagnostic technology or any future tests, and our business may fail.


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


As of September 30, 2017,2021, our cash balance was $0.4$13.2 million and our working capital was approximately negative $12.6$11.4 million. Due to our recurring losses from operations and the expectation that we will continue to incur losses in the future, we willmay be required to raise additional capital to complete the development and commercialization of our current product candidates and to pay off our obligations. To date, to fund our operations and develop and commercialize our products, we have relied primarily on equity and debt financings. WhenIn future periods, when we seek additional capital, we may seek to sell additional equity and/or debt securities or to obtain a credit facility, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, restrict or cease our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms.


We will needface risks related to obtain stockholder approvalhealth pandemics and other widespread outbreaks of contagious disease, including the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, which could significantly disrupt our operations and impact our financial results.

Our business could be disrupted and materially adversely affected by the recent outbreak of COVID-19. In December 2019, an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a strain of novel coronavirus, COVID-19, began in China. As of September 2021, that outbreak has led to numerous confirmed cases worldwide, including in the United States. The outbreak and government measures taken in response have also had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the third parties with whom we engage operate.

The spread of COVID-19 has created a worldwide humanitarian and economic crisis. The events we are living through are in many ways unprecedented, with large-scale quarantines, border closings, school closings, and physical distancing.  Governments and communities have been jolted into action to “flatten the curve.”  As an organization we have accelerated our actions to protect employees, customers and suppliers.

The progression of the shares issuedoutbreak and issuable inits effects on our November 2017 registered direct offering beforebusiness and operations are uncertain. While we can raise additional capital.


Our Series C Certificate of Designation prohibits us from issuing any shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into common stock at a price per share belowonly estimate the then effective conversion price offinancial impacts to our Series C Preferred Stock, subject to certain

exceptions, or entering into any agreement or making any public announcement with respect to such a dilutive issuance, untilbusiness, based on current data, we have filed a proxy statement under Section 14(a)experienced business interruptions in certain urban markets that continue to range from 30% to 85%.  With the understanding that it is extremely difficult to project the full and ongoing impact of the Exchange Act or information statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act with the SECstate-by-state quarantine and obtained approval of our November 2017 registered direct offering from our stockholders, or the Stockholder Approval, including approval of issuances in excess of the maximum number of shares issuable under theshelter-in-place orders, we anticipate that such rules and regulationsrestrictions on businesses will continue through 2021 and quite possibly beyond, in various degrees, as the country re-opens state by state, county by county and city by city. Returning to normalcy is conditioned on many factors surrounding the control and or eradication of the Nasdaq Capital Market. In addition, pursuant to the placement agency agreement for our November 2017 registered direct offering, or the November Offering, we have agreed, until the later of (i) 90 days after the closing date of the November Offering, and (ii) the date on which Stockholder Approval has been obtained, not to issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into common stock, subject to certain exceptions; provided that the foregoing restriction under the placement agency agreement will lapse atCOVID-19.  As such, time as each holder of Series C Preferred Stock owns less than 20% of the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock originally purchased in the November Offering and less than 20% of the warrants (based on the number of shares underlying the warrants) originally purchased in the November Offering. If we are not able to obtain Stockholder Approval or a waiver of the foregoing restriction under the placement agency agreement, we will not be able to raise additional capital and we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates or restrict or cease our operations.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that could, if not remediated, result in material misstatements in our financial statements.

Based on our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, we have identified the following deficiencies that we believe to be material weaknesses: (i) our lack of expertise necessary to validate the proper accounting and valuation for the complex technical accounting treatment of complex debt and equity instruments and (ii) our controls as related to revenue recognition resulting from the fact we do not have contracts with certain payors and do not have proper controls over the estimates for doubtful accounts and contractual allowances.

We have initiated remedial measures, but if our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weaknesses, or if the material weaknesses are not remediated within the time period we currently anticipate, or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting are discovered or occur in the future, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements, and we could be required to restate our financial results. In addition, if we are unable to successfully remediate these material weaknesses and if we are unableprovide additional insight on the impact to produce accurate and timely financial statements, our stock price may be materially adversely affected and we may be unable to maintain compliance with applicable stock exchange listing requirements. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business at this time.

Going forward, we expect that challenges to our business will continue.  We have been and will continue to be prudent in managing through this economic crisis.  Digital connectivity is now fundamental to the continuity of our business operations. We continually engage our employees and customers in keeping safe.  We monitor adherence to governmental guidelines.  We have employed remote work where possible.  In this unchartered time, we recognize the need for frequent and transparent communication to all parties.  As necessary, we will provide additional information related to this economic condition, including the impact to our future operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidencedue to downturns in our reportedglobal economies and financial information, and the trading pricemarkets.
