Operating results for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2020. Amounts at December 31, 20162019 are derived from audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

2019.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, there were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

2019.

The preparation of these interim condensed financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

These unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2019, contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of this report, ourthe Company’s current cash balances, together with cash generated from future operations and amounts available under ourthe Company’s credit facilities may not be sufficient to fund operations through November 2018. On May 1, 2017, we extended ourSeptember 2021.

Through the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had a line of credit.credit with Crestmark Bank. The new expiration datemaximum availability on the Company’s line of ourcredit was $1,500,000 until the line of credit was amended and extended on June 22, 2020 when the maximum availability was reduced to $1,000,000. However, because the amount available under the line of credit is June 29, 2020. The maximum availability on our line of credit remains to be $1,500,000. However,based upon the amountCompany’s accounts receivable and inventory, the amounts actually available under our line of credit is based upon our accounts receivable and inventory.(historically) have been significantly less than the maximum availability. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, based on ourthe Company’s availability calculation, there were no additional amounts available under ourthe Company’s line of credit because we drawthe Company draws any balance available on a daily basis.

In February 2020, our credit facilities with Cherokee Financial, LLC were extended for another 12 months, or until February 15, 2021 (which is less than 12 months from the date of this report). Our total debt at June 30, 2020 with Cherokee Financial, LLC is $1,120,000. We do not expect cash from operations within the next 12 months to be sufficient to pay the amounts due under these credit facilities, which is due in full on February 15, 2021. We are currently looking at alternatives to further extend or refinance these facilities.
As discussed in more detail in “Cash Flow, Outlook/Risk”, if sales levels decline, further, wethe Company will have reduced availability on ourits line of credit due to decreased accounts receivable balances. In addition, we would expect our inventory levels to decrease if sales levels decline further, and this also will result in reduced availability on our line of credit. If availability under ourthe Company’s line of credit is not sufficient to satisfy ourits working capital and capital expenditure requirements, wethe Company will be required to obtain additional credit facilities or sell additional equity securities, or delay capital expenditures.expenditures, which could have a material adverse effect on the business. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or that wethe Company will be able to complete financing on satisfactory terms, if at all.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

We have disclosed

ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the adoptionDisclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”, issued in August 2018, adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements relative to the three levels of previously released accounting standardsinputs used to measure fair value in earlier quarterly reports filedaccordance with Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 in the U.S. SecuritiesFirst Quarter 2020 and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”); these adoptionsthe adoption did not have an impact on ourthe Company’s financial statementcondition or its results of operations. In the three months ended September 30, 2017, we determined that
ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits”2019-08, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and ASU 2017-04 “Intangibles - Goodwill and OtherRevenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 350)606) (both previously disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2017) did not apply to the Company. We did not adopt any new accounting standards in the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Accounting Standards Issued; Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, Derivatives and Hedging”. ASU 2017-11 was, issued in July 2017. The amendmentsNovember 2019, clarifies that an entity must measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718. ASU 2017-11 change 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 will no longer preclude 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) would not 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. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). ASU 2017-112019-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.2019, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2019-08 in the First Quarter 2020 and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or its results of operations.

Accounting Standards Issued; Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, issued in December 2019 reduces the complexity by removing exemptions and simplifying the accounting for franchise taxes, deferred taxes and taxes related to employee’s stock ownership plan. The requirements in ASU 2019-12 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12.
ASU 2020-01, “Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”, issued in January 2020, clarifies certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815, which could change how an entity accounts for an equity security under the measurement alternative or a forward contract or purchased option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value option in accordance with Topic 825, Financial Instruments. These amendments improve current GAAP by reducing diversity in practice and increasing comparability of the accounting for these interactions. The requirements in ASU 2019-12 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within the fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-11.

ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”. ASU 2017-09 was2020-01.


Any other new accounting pronouncements recently issued, in May 2017. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changesbut not yet effective, have been reviewed and determined to the termsbe not applicable or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. More specifically, that an entity should account for the effects of modification unless all the following are met: 1) the fair value, calculated or intrinsic value of the modified award is the same fair value, calculated or intrinsic value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified, 2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified and 3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original grant is modified. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether accounting modification is applied. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-09.

ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)”. ASU 2017-01 was issued in January 2017. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-01.

ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. ASU 2016-02 was issued in February 2016 and it requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on its balance sheet for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months. Lease classification will determine whether a lease is reported as a financing transaction in the income statement and statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 does not substantially change lessor accounting, but it does make certain changeswere related to leases for which collectabilitytechnical amendments or codification. As a result, the adoption of the lease payments is uncertain or there are significant variable payments. Additionally, ASU 2016-02 makes several other targeted amendments including a) revising the definition of lease payments to include fixed payments by the lessee to cover lessor costs related to ownership of the underlying asset such as for property taxes or insurance; b) narrowing the definition of initial direct costs which an entity is permitted to capitalize to include only those incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained; c) requiring seller-lessees in a sale-leaseback transaction to recognize the entire gain from the sale of the underlying asset at the time of sale rather than over the leaseback term; and d) expanding disclosures to provide quantitative and qualitative information about lease transactions. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2019, and is required to be applied retrospectively to the earliest period presented at the date of initial application, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02.

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 was issued in May 2014 and it provides guidance for revenue recognition. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. Examples of the use of judgments and estimates may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The update also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 provides for two transition methods to the new guidance: a retrospective approach and a modified retrospective approach. In August 2015, ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date” was issued as a revision to ASU 2014-09. ASU 2015-14 revised the effective date to fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted but not prior to periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (i.e. the original adoption date per ASU No. 2014-09). The Company is currently evaluating the transition methods and the impact of adopting this ASU.

There are no other accounting pronouncements, issues during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 that arewhen effective, is not expected to have or that could have a significant impactmaterial effect on ourthe Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note D – Litigation/Legal Matters

In February 2017,

ABMC v. Todd Bailey
On August 5, 2019, we settled litigation with Todd Bailey; a former Vice President, Sales & Marketing and sales consultant of the Company filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in Columbia County against Premier Biotech Inc., Premier Biotech Labs, LLC and its principals, including its President Todd Bailey, and Peckham Vocational Industries, Inc. (together the “Defendants”). Mr. Bailey formerly served as the Company’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing and as a sales consultant until December 23, 2016.2016; hereinafter referred to as “Bailey”). The complaint seeks preliminary and permanent injunctions and a temporary restraining order against Todd Bailey (for his benefit or the benefit of another party or entity) related to the solicitation of Company customers as well as damages related to any profits and revenues that would result from actions takenlitigation was filed by the Defendants related to Company customers. In March 2017, the complaint was moved to the federal court in the Northern District of New York. In AprilYork in February 2017. Our complaint sought damages related to profits and revenues that resulted from actions taken by Bailey related to our customers. The settlement also addressed a counter-claim filed by Bailey in October 2017 (filed originally in Minnesota but, transferred to the Defendants filedNorther District of New York in January 2019). Bailey was seeking deferred commissions in the amount of $164,000 that he alleged were owed to him by the Company. These amounts were originally deferred under a motiondeferred compensation program initiated in 2013; a program in which Bailey was one of the participants. We believed the amount sought was not due to Bailey given the actions indicated in our litigation.
Under the settlement, both parties elected to resolve the litigation and settle any and all claims made within the litigation. Neither party admitted to any of the allegations contained within the ABMC v. Baily litigation (including any allegations made by Bailey in his counterclaim). Both parties also agreed to dismiss to which the Company responded on April 21, 2017. On July 10, 2017, the Company was notified that it was not awarded a contract with a state agency for which it has held a contract in excess of 10 years. The contract in question is included in the February 2017 complaint. The Company believes that the Defendants actions related to this customer and a RFP that was issued by the state agency resulted in the loss of the contract award to the Company and the award of the contract to Peckham and Premier Biotech. This contract historically accounted for 10-15% of the Company’s annual revenue. The Company continued to hold a contract with the agency through September 30, 2017. The Company did protest the award of the contract to Peckham and Premier Biotech, and the state agency advised the Company on July 26, 2017 that they denied the Company’s protest of the award. The Company amended its complaintall claims made against the Defendants to show actual damages caused by the Defendants and to show proprietary and confidential information (belonging to the Company) used by the Defendants in their response to the RFP. This confidential information belonging to the Company enabled the Defendants to comply with specifications of the RFP. The Defendants filed a response to the court opposing our supplemental motion and we filed our reply papers to the Defendants response on November 2, 2017. As of the date of this report, the Company is awaiting the court’s rulings on the parties’ motions.

In addition, fromeach other.

From time to time, the Company may be named in legal proceedings in connection with matters that arisearose during the normal course of business. While the ultimate outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted, if we arethe Company is unsuccessful in defending any such litigation, the resulting financial losses couldare not expected to have ana material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. We are aware of no significant litigation loss contingencies for which management believes it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT WITH CHEROKEE FINANCIAL, LLC

(“CHEROKEE”)

On March 26, 2015, the Company entered into a LSA with Cherokee Financial, LLC (the “Cherokee LSA”). The purpose of thedebt with Cherokee LSA was to refinance, at a better interest rate, the Company’s Series A Debentures and Cantone Asset Management Bridge Loan (both of which matured on February 1, 2015), as well as the Company’s Mortgage Consolidation Loan with First Niagara Bank (“First Niagara”). The loan is collateralized by a first security interest in real estate and machinery and equipment. Under the Cherokee LSA, the Company was provided the sum of $1,200,000 in the form of a 5-year Note at ana fixed annual interest rate of 8%. The Company is makingreceived net proceeds of $80,000 after $1,015,000 of debt payments, and $105,000 in other expenses and fees. The expenses and fees (with the exception of the interest only payments quarterlyexpense) are being deducted from the balance on the Cherokee Note,LSA and are being amortized over the term of the debt (in accordance with the first interest payment paid on May 15, 2015.ASU No. 2015-03). The Company is alsowas required to make an annual principal reduction paymentpayments of $75,000 on each anniversary of the date of the closing; with the first principal reduction payment being made on February 15, 2016 and the most recentlast principal reduction payment being made on February 16, 2017. A final balloon15, 2019; partially with proceeds received from a new, larger term loan with Cherokee (See 2019 Term Loan with Cherokee within this Note E).
On February 24, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a transaction related to a one-year Extension Agreement dated February 14, 2020 (the “Extension Agreement”) with Cherokee under which Cherokee extended the due date of the Cherokee LSA (with a balance of $900,000) to February 15, 2021. No terms of the facility were changed under the Extension Agreement. For consideration of the Extension Agreement, the Company issued 2% of the $900,000 principal, or $18,000, in 257,143 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to Cherokee on behalf of their investors.

If the amount due is not paid by the extended due date, Cherokee will automatically add a delinquent payment is duepenalty of $100,000 to the outstanding principal.
The Company will continue to make interest only payments quarterly on March 26, 2020.the Cherokee LSA.

This oversight fee is paid in cash and is paid contemporaneously with the quarterly interest payments.

LINE OF CREDIT WITH CRESTMARK BANK (“CRESTMARK”)

On June 29, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a three-year Loan and Security Agreement (“LSA”) with Crestmark related to a new Senior Lender, to refinance the Company’s Linerevolving line of Credit with Imperium Commercial Finance, LLC (“Imperium”credit (the “Crestmark LOC”). The Crestmark Line of CreditLOC is used for working capital and general corporate purposes. On May 1, 2017, theThe Company entered into term loan with Crestmark in the amount of $38,000 related to the purchase of manufacturing equipment (See “Equipment Loan with Crestmark”), and in connection with this equipment loan, the Company executed an amendment to its LSA and Promissory Note with Crestmark. The amendments addressed the inclusion of the equipment loan intoamended the Crestmark LSA and an extension of the Company’s line of credit with Crestmark. Apart from the extension of the LSA, no terms of the line of credit were changed in the amendment. The termination date of the Crestmark line of credit was changed from June 22, 2018 toLOC on June 22, 2020 underand as a result of this amendment, the amendments.

UnderCrestmark LOC expires on June 22, 2021.

Until the LSA,amendment on June 22, 2020, the Crestmark is providingLOC provided the Company with a Linerevolving line of Credit ofcredit up to $1,500,000 (“Maximum Amount”) with a minimum loan balance requirement of $500,000. The Line of Credit is secured by a first security interest in the Company’s inventory, and receivables and security interest in all other assets of the Company (in accordance with permitted prior encumbrances).

The Maximum Amount iswas subject to an Advance Formula comprised of: 1) 90% of Eligible Accounts Receivables (excluding, receivables remaining unpaid for more than 90 days from the date of invoice and sales made to entities outside of the United States), and 2) up to 40% of eligible inventory plus up to 10% of Eligible Generic Packaging Components not to exceed the lesser of $350,000, or 100% of Eligible Accounts Receivable. However, as a result of an amendment executed on June 25, 2018, the amount available under the inventory component of the line of credit was changed to 40% of eligible inventory plus up to 10% of Eligible Generic Packaging Components not to exceed the lesser of $250,000 (“Inventory Sub-Cap Limit”), or 100% of the Eligible Accounts Receivable.

So long In addition, the Inventory Sub-Cap Limit was reduced by $10,000 per month as any obligations are dueof July 1, 2018 and thereafter on the first day of the month until the Inventory Sub-Cap Limit is reduced to $0, (making the Crestmark LOC an accounts-receivable based line only). This means that as of June 30, 2020, the Inventory Sub-Cap Limit is only $10,000. Upon execution of the amendment, the Maximum Amount was reduced to $1,000,000 and with the Inventory Sub-Cap Limit gone effective July 1, 2020; the Crestmark LOC is a receivables-based only line of credit.

The Crestmark LOC has a minimum loan balance requirement of $500,000. At June 30, 2020, the Company must complydid not meet the minimum loan balance requirement as our balance was $226,000. Under the LSA, Crestmark has the right to calculate interest on the minimum balance requirement rather than the actual balance on the Crestmark LOC (and they are exercising that right). The Crestmark LOC is secured by a first security interest in the Company’s inventory, and receivables and security interest in all other assets of the Company (in accordance with permitted prior encumbrances).
Prior to the amendment on June 22, 2020, the Crestmark LOC contained a minimum Tangible Net Worth (“TNW”) Covenant. Undercovenant (previously defined in other periodic reports). With the LSA, as amended,exception of the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company must maintain a TNW of at least $650,000. Additionally, if a quarterly net income is reported,did not historically comply with the TNW covenant will increase by 50%and Crestmark previously provided a number of waivers (for which the reported net income. If a quarterly net loss is reported, theCompany was charged $5,000 each). The TNW covenant will remainwas removed effective with the same as the prior quarter’s covenant amount. TNW is defined as: Total Assets less Total Liabilities less the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of non-trade accounts receivables, including accounts receivables from affiliated or related persons, (ii) prepaid expenses, (iii) deposits, (iv) net lease hold improvements, (v) goodwill and (vi) any other asset that would be treated as an intangible asset under GAAP; plus Subordinated Debt. Subordinated Debt means any and all indebtedness presently or in the future incurred by the Company to any creditor of the Company entering into a written subordination agreement with Crestmark. The Company is in compliance with this covenant at Septemberquarter ended June 30, 2017.

If the Company terminates the LSA prior to June 22, 2020, an early exit fee of 2% of the Maximum Amount (plus any additional amounts owed to Crestmark at the time of termination) would be due.

In the event of a default ofunder the LSA, which includes but is not limited to, failure of the Company to make any payment when due, and non-compliance with the TNW covenant, Crestmark is permitted to charge an Extra Rate. The Extra Rate is the Company’s then current interest rate plus 12.75% per annum.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT
On OctoberFebruary 20, 2017, the Company received notice that Todd Bailey (“Bailey”2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Chaim Davis (the Chairman of our Board of Directors) and certain other accredited investors (the “Investors”), its former Vice Presidentpursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), 2,842,857 Units (the “Units”).
Each Unit consists of Sales & Marketingone (1) share of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Share”), at a price per Unit of $0.07 (the “Purchase Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $199,000. We received net proceeds of $199,000 from the Private Placement as expenses related to the Private Placement were minimal. We did not utilize a placement agent for the Private Placement. We used the net proceeds for working capital and sales consultant filedgeneral corporate purposes.
The July 2019 Term Loan with Chaim Davis, Et Al and the December 2019 Convertible Note (See Note E); totaling $39,000, were both converted into equity as part of a complaint againstprivate placement closed in February 2020. Any interest that was incurred under the CompanyJuly 2019 Term Loan with Chaim Davis, Et in 2019 and up to the conversion in February 2020 was forgiven by the holders and the December 2019 Convertible Note did not bear any interest.
We do not intend to register the Units issued under the Private Placement; rather the Units issued will be subject to the holding period requirements and other conditions of Rule 144.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. Although our Chairman of the Board was an investor in the StatePrivate Placement, the pricing of Minnesota seeking deferred commissions of $164,000 that Bailey alleges is owed to himthe Units was determined by the Company. Bailey is one of the defendants in the litigation discussed previously in Note D. On November 2, 2017, we filed a Notice of Removal in this action to move the matter from state to federal court. On November 9, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative to transfer venue and consolidate, the Bailey complaint with our litigation filed previously against Bailey and others (see Note D).

Overview/Plan of Operations

Our ability

Sales in the six months ended June 30, 2020 were positively impacted by the sales and marketing of a Rapid Test to maintain and/detect Covid-19 antibodies in whole blood, serum or increaseplasma (that we are selling via a distribution agreement with Healgen Scientific, LLC; hereinafter referred to as the Covid-19 rapid antibody test) while sales continuesof our drugs of abuse testing products continued to be negatively impacted by a very cost-competitive market currently dominatedthe price competitiveness in our core markets (government, employment and clinical) and by products made outside ofthe Covid-19 pandemic. In late March 2020, we began marketing the Covid-19 rapid antibody test, manufactured by Healgen Scientific, LLC, in full compliance with the March 16, 2020 Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) policy set forth by the United States. Evidenced by the fact that sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased again when compared to the same period last year. In addition, our sales have been impacted by actions taken by a former Vice President Sales & Marketing/Sales Consultant. We have initiated litigation against this former employee/consultant related to these actions (see Note D – Litigation/Legal Matters).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded an operating loss of $83,000. This compares to an operating loss of $118,000 in the same period last year. Decreased operating expenses were the primary cause of the improvement in operating loss (relative to sales). Net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $252,000, compared to a net loss of $130,000 in the same period last year. This is primarily due to other income of $200,000 (of which $150,000 was related to a tech transfer with a contract manufacturing customer) in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 that did not reoccur in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

We had cash provided by operating activities of $158,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This compares to cash provided by operating activities of $185,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

We continuously examine all expenses in efforts to achieve profitability (when/if sales levels improve) or to minimize losses going forward (if sales continue to decline). Over the course of the last two fiscal years (Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015), we refinanced substantially all of our existing debt at lower interest rates, manufactured our products in a partially consolidated operating environment, and maintained a salary and commission deferral program; all as part of our efforts to decrease expenses and improve cash flow.

The salary and commission deferral program previously referenced continued throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The deferral program currently consists of a 20% salary deferral for our executive officer and our non-executive VP Operations (and previously included the former Vice President Sales & Marketing/Sales Consultant referred to earlier in this report; until his termination in December 2016). As of September 30, 2017, we had total deferred compensation owed of $253,000. Over the course of the program, we repaid portions of the deferred compensation (with $29,000 in payments in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $70,000 in payments in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.). As cash flow from operations allows, we intend to continue to make paybacks, however the deferral program is continuing and we expect it will continue for up to another 12 months.

We continue to believe that new products and our ability to sell those products in new markets will be a future growth driver. In August 2017, the U.S.States Food and Drug Administration granted over-the-counter marketing clearance(FDA) and in accordance with an EUA issued by FDA on May 29, 2020. Due to specific regulatory events that occurred from March 2020 until May 2020, we did not record any sales of Covid-19 tests until later in May 2020, although we did take pre-orders (with payments) for our Rapid TOX Cup II (an all-inclusive, urine based drug testing cup). We are hopeful that this marketing clearance will enable usCovid-19 tests prior to further penetrate clinical markets as to increase our business with our laboratory alliance.

Although our primary markets continue to be extremely price-competitive, this marketing clearance should enable us to garner new sales in clinical markets (such as pain management and drug treatment) because although price is always a factor, quality and accuracy are equally important in these clinical markets.

New assays and product platform developments are also in our future research and development plans. We remain focused on selling our point of collection drugs of abuse tests, and growing our business through direct sales and select distributors.

Over the course of the last 12 months, we have reorganized and restructured our sales and marketing department. shipping product.

In addition we brought on newto the Covid-19 rapid antibody tests, additional products and service offeringsservices are being offered to diversify our revenue stream through third party relationships. These new products and services include products for the detection of alcohol,We currently offer a lower-cost alternative sample options for drug testing (such as lab based oral fluid testing and hair testing) as well as toxicology management services. In addition, we are now offering customers lower-cost alternatives for onsite drug testing. And finally,testing, point of care products for certain infectious diseases and alternative drug testing sample methods. With the exception of the lower-cost drug test alternative and Covid-19 rapid antibody tests, these offerings have yet to materially positively impact sales. In the year ended December 31, 2019, we are reviewingexpanded our contract manufacturing operations with two (2) new customers. Beginning in mid-2019, we can sell oral fluid drugs tests in the employment and insurance markets under a limited exemption set forth by the FDA. Prior to this point, we could only sell our oral fluid drug tests in the forensic market in the United States and to markets outside the United States. We are hopeful that gaining access to this market again will enable us to see revenue growth for our oral fluid drug tests in the future; however, we are uncertain when in the year ended December 31, 2020 we could start seeing significant sales in the employment market given the current global health crises and Covid-19.

We are focusing our efforts on further penetration of markets with new products, including, but not limited to, capitalize on offerings in that area. We have not derived any significant revenue from these new additions; however, the majority of the relationships were only finalized in March/April 2017.

In September 2016,Covid-19 rapid antibody test we are distributing along with other infectious disease products we are offering, and further expanding our contract manufacturing sales began to decrease on an annual basisbusiness.

Operating expenses increased $87,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 versus the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to a manufacturing shiftcommissions paid on sales of the Covid-19 rapid antibody tests. We continuously make efforts to control operational expenses to ensure they are in line with onesales. We have consolidated job responsibilities in certain areas of our contract customers. More specifically,the Company as a result of employee retirement and other departures and this has enabled us to implement personnel reductions. Throughout most of the six months ended June 30, 2020, we also maintained a tech transfer with10% salary deferral program for our sole executive officer, our Chief Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer Melissa Waterhouse. The 10% deferral program ceased in early June 2020 considering the customer, they are now their own primary supplier withlength of time the Company moving into a positiondeferral was in place for Waterhouse (almost 7 years) and the balance owed. Until his departure in November 2019, another member of back upsenior management participated in the program. As of June 30, 2020, we had total deferred compensation owed to these two individuals in the amount of $169,000. We did not make any payments on deferred compensation to Melissa Waterhouse in the six months ended June 30, 2020 or secondary supplier. Although contract manufacturing is not considered a material portionin the six months ended June 30, 2019. After the member of our net sales, given this expected change,senior management retired in November 2019, we are making effortsagreed to identify and secure new contract work and possible diversification alternatives. In connection withmake payments for the tech transfer, we received a $300,000 tech transfer fee from this customer. We recognized $150,000 relateddeferred comp owed to this tech transfer fee as other incomeindividual. In the six months ended June 30, 2020 we made payments totaling $29,000 to this individual; we did not make any payment to this individual in the nine monthssix month ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.

2019. We will continue to make payments to the former member of senior management throughout the year ending December 31, 2020 and when/if cash flow from operations allows, we intend to repay/make payments on the deferred compensation owed to Melissa Waterhouse.

Our continued existence is dependent upon several factors, including our ability to: 1) raise revenue levels even though we have sufferedlost significant accounts and the lossmarket continues to be infiltrated by product manufactured outside of a materialthe United States, 2) further penetrate the markets (in and outside of the United States) for Covid-19 rapid antibody tests, 3) secure new contract that will impact sales starting October 1, 2017, 2)manufacturing customers, 4) control operational costs to generate positive cash flows, 3)5) maintain our current credit facilities or refinance our current credit facilities if necessary, and 4)6) if needed, our ability to obtain working capital by selling additional shares of our common stock.

Results of operations for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017

2020 compared to the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016

2019

NET SALES:Net sales for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 decreased 9.5%2020 increased 32.2% when compared to net sales in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2019. Sales of the Covid-19 rapid antibody tests in the amount of $1,105,000 offset declines in drug test product sales and contract manufacturing sales; both of which were negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
We began selling the Covid-19 rapid antibody test in late March 2020; however there were a number of regulatory events that resulted in an inability to get supply of the product from the manufacturing plant in China until May 2020. Once those events were addressed, we were able to receive product and ship orders to customers. The decreaseCovid-19 rapid antibody test is not a diagnostic test. Recently there have been infection surges in salesand outside the United States. As these infection surges occur, there is a resulthigher demand for diagnostic tests (i.e. PCR’s or antigen tests); although the CDC has indicated that antibody testing can help establish a clinical picture when patients have late complications of COVID-19 illness, such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. We believe that the demand for Covid-19 rapid antibody tests will increase over time as the need for data increases; that is, when testing is used as a means to determine the full impact/extent of the anticipated decreasevirus, its mortality rate, the length of time antibodies remain in contractthe body and the impact of the antibodies on the virus, as well as a means to monitor the efficacy of vaccines as they are released.
Our core markets for drug test sales are clinical, government and workplace; all of which require a lower amount of testing due to stay at home orders, reduced workforce and reduced budgets. Contract sales were impacted due to strained economic conditions in the territories where the products are sold. In the latter part of the six months ended June 30, 2020, we have started to see some rebound in our drug testing markets, however, given the uncertainty of the markets (as they related to the pandemic), we are unsure at this time whether this rebound will continue.

In addition to the negative sales impact from the customer side, we also experienced delays in materials from vendors due to decreased production levels resulting from stay at home orders and reduced workforce numbers. While our staff continues to work due to the essential nature of our manufacturing, delays in materials resulted in customer backorders for specific products that required the materials in question.
We do expect the marketing of the Covid-19 test to further positively impact our revenues in the year ending December 31, 2020, however we do not yet know the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 test sales on our business, our financial condition and/or results of operations. The extent to which sales of the COVID-19 test may impact our business, operating results, financial condition, or liquidity in the future will depend on future developments which are evolving and uncertain including the duration of the outbreak and the need for antibody testing in the future.
As the market for Covid-19 testing develops over time, we are also reviewing alternative products to offer our customers; products such as PCR tests, antigen tests and tests that use new (alternative) samples (such as saliva or breath).
GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit decreased to 31.0% of sales in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 when2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. More specifically, contract manufacturing sales declined by approximately $222,000 (of which $197,000 was to the customer involved with the tech transfer). The remaining $195,000 in decreased sales resulted primarily from a decrease in government sales (most of which is due to the loss of an account in the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2016). These declines were partially offset by an increase in national accounts and international sales to Latin and South America.

GROSS PROFIT:Gross profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased to 42.7% of net sales compared to 44.2%32.5% of net sales in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. While2019. Although net sales increased, we continued to experience inefficiencies in our drug test manufacturing. Manufacturing inefficiencies typically occur when revenues decline because certain overhead costs are still maintaining manufacturing efficiencies, therefixed and cannot be reduced; if fewer testing strips are produced and fewer products are assembled this results in higher costs being expensed through cost of goods. Lower product pricing to customers also negatively impacts gross profit. We are continually taking actions to adjust our production schedules to try to mitigate future inefficiencies and we closely examine our gross profit margins on our manufactured products.

Lower gross margins from drug test sales were certain periods withinpartially offset by higher margins related to Covid-19 rapid antibody tests. It is uncertain whether the ninecurrent profit margins of Covid-19 test sales will continue at the present rate. Various factors can affect market pricing (such as an increased number of EUA issued products and their availability to customers, and costs of materials to manufacture the Covid-19 tests).
Operating expenses increased 9.3% in the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 that we produced less testing strips due to the product sales mix.

The primary reason for the increase in selling and marketing expense is commissions paid related to sales of the primary reasons for the decline in expenses is decreased commission expense.

In addition to commissions, employee benefits costs and increase shipping/freight costs contributed to the decline in commissions,increase. These increases were partially offset by decreased sales salariestravel (as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic) and benefits, customer relations expense, postagelower auto allowance costs.

In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we continued selling and marketing consulting expenses decreased. These declines were minimally offset by an increase in costs associated with trade show attendance. Our direct sales force continues to focus their efforts in our target markets, which include, but are not limited to, Workplace, Government, and Clinical (i.e. pain management and drug treatment) and in the forensic and international markets for our oral fluid product. Our sales force has also startedown drug tests and we continued to promotetake actions to secure new contract manufacturing customers. In addition, we promoted lower cost alternatives for onsite drug testing and point of care products and service offerings to diversify our revenue stream. These new products and servicesfor infectious disease (through relationships with third parties) include products for. The addition of these offerings did not result in increased selling and marketing expenses. In late March 2020, we also started selling a Covid-19 rapid antibody test from Healgen Scientific, LLC via a distribution relationship. As of result of this new product offering, we recorded increased sales commission rates. We are also taking efforts to increase the detectionsize of alcohol, alternative sample options for drug testing (such as lab based oral fluid testing and hair testing) as well as toxicology management services, and lower-cost alternatives for onsite drug testing. And finally, with the FDA marketing clearance granted in August 2017, our sales force is also promotingteam to further penetrate the newCovid-19 market application of the productand drug test markets.

The extent to which sales of the COVID-19 test may impact our business, operating results, financial condition, or liquidity in the future will depend on future developments which are evolving and a declineuncertain including the duration of the outbreak and the need for antibody testing in contract manufacturing sales.

While2019. As a result of decreased sales, we continued to experience manufacturing inefficiencies. Manufacturing inefficiencies typically occur when revenues decline because certain overhead costs are still maintaining manufacturing efficiencies, there were certain periods within the three months ended September 30, 2017 that we produced lessfixed and cannot be reduced; if fewer testing strips dueare produced and fewer products are assembled this results in higher costs being expensed through cost of goods. Lower product pricing to customers also negatively impacts gross profit. We are continually taking actions to adjust our production schedules to try to mitigate future inefficiencies and we closely examine our gross profit margins on our manufactured products.
Lower gross margins from drug test sales were partially offset by higher margins related to Covid-19 rapid antibody tests. It is uncertain whether the productcurrent profit margins of Covid-19 test sales mix.

The primary reason for the increase in selling and marketing expense is commissions paid related to sales of the primary reasons for the decline in expenses is related to decreased commission expense. In the latter part of December 2016, we terminated our relationship with a sales consultant due to competitive issues that arose during our relationship; we subsequently filed a complaint against this consultant in the early part of 2017 (See Note D – Litigation/Legal Matters).Covid-19 rapid antibody test. In addition to commissions, shipping/freight costs contributed to the decline in commissions, sales salariesincrease. These increases were partially offset by decreased attendance at trade shows (as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic) and benefits, customer relations expense,lower auto allowance costs.

In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we continued selling and marketing consulting expenses decreased. These declines were minimally offset by an increase sales travel expense. Our direct sales force continues to focus their efforts in our target markets, which include, but are not limited to, Workplace, Government, and Clinical (i.e. pain management and drug treatment) and in the forensic and international markets for our oral fluid product. Our sales force has also startedown drug tests and we continued to promotetake actions to secure new contract manufacturing customers. In addition, we promoted lower cost alternatives for onsite drug testing and point of care products and service offerings to diversify our revenue stream. These new products and servicesfor infectious disease (through relationships with third parties) include products for. The addition of these offerings did not result in increased selling and marketing expenses. In late March 2020, we also started selling a Covid-19 rapid antibody test from Healgen Scientific, LLC via a distribution relationship. As of result of this new product offering, we recorded increased sales commission rates. We are also taking efforts to increase the detectionsize of alcohol, alternative sample options for drug testing (such as lab based oral fluid testing and hair testing) as well as toxicology management services, and lower-cost alternatives for onsite drug testing. And finally, with the FDA marketing clearance granted in August 2017, our sales force is also promotingteam to further penetrate the newCOvid-19 market application of the productand drug test markets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017

2020

Our cash requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to manufacturing costs (such as raw materials, equipment, etc.), selling and marketing initiatives, product development activities, regulatory costs, legal costs, associated with current litigation, and effective management of inventory levels and production levels in response to sales history and forecasts. We expect to devote capital resources related to continue selling and marketing initiatives and product development/research and development activities.initiatives. We are examining other growth opportunities including strategic alliances. Given our current and historical cash position, we expect such activities would need to be funded from the issuance of additional equity or additional credit borrowings, subject to market and other conditions.
On February 20, 2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Chaim Davis (the Chairman of our Board of Directors) and certain other accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), 2,842,856 Units (the “Units”). Each Unit consisted of one (1) share of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Share”), at a price per Unit of $0.07 (the “Purchase Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $199,000. We received net proceeds of $199,000 from the Private Placement as expenses related to the Private Placement were minimal. We did not utilize a placement agent for the Private Placement. We used the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company does not intend to register the Units issued under the Private Placement; rather the Units issued will be subject to the holding period requirements and other conditions of Rule 144.

Our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20162019 were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.

Our current cash balances, together with cash generated from future operations and amounts available under our credit facilities may not be sufficient to fund operations through November 2018. September 2021. At June 30, 2020, we have negative Stockholders’ Equity of $883,000.

Our currentloan and security agreement and 2019 Term Note with Cherokee for $900,000 and $200,000, respectively, expired on February 15, 2020; however, the credit facilities were extended for another 12 months, or until February 15, 2021 (which is less than 12 months from the date of this report). Our total debt at June 30, 2020 with Cherokee Financial, LLC is $1,120,000. We do not expect cash from operations within the next 12 months to be sufficient to pay the amounts due under these credit facilities, which is due in full on February 15, 2021. We are currently looking at alternatives to further extend or refinance these facilities.
Through the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had a line of credit expireswith Crestmark Bank. The maximum availability on the line of credit through most of the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,500,000 but, it was reduced on June 22, 2020 to $1,000,000 under the amendment and has a maximum availabilityextension of $1,500,000.the line of credit. However, because the amount available under the line of credit is based upon our accounts receivable, the amounts actually available under our line of credit is based upon(historically) have been significantly less than the balance of our accounts receivable and inventory.

If sales levels continue to decline, further, we will have further reduced availability on our line of credit due to decreased accounts receivable balances. In addition, we would expect our inventory levels to decrease if sales levels decline further, which would result in further reduced availabilityAs of June 30, 2020, based on our availability calculation, there were no additional amounts available under the line of credit. credit because we draw any balance available on a daily basis.
If availability under our line of credit and cash received from prepaid Covid-19 rapid antibody test sales is not sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, we will be required to obtain additional credit facilities or sell additional equity securities, or delay capital expenditures.expenditures which could have a material adverse effect on our business. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or that we will be able to complete financing on satisfactory terms, if at all.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, we had the following debt/credit facilities:

This compares to a decrease of $129,000 when compared to working capital deficit of $793,000$1,239,000 at December 31, 2016.June 30, 2019. This decreaseincrease in our working capital isdeficit was primarily thea result of decreased sales.additional financing, including the $332,000 PPP Loan. We have historically satisfied working capital requirements through cash from operations and bank debt.


Dividends

We have never paid any dividends on our common shares and anticipate that all future earnings, if any, will be retained for use in our business, and therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends.

Cash Flow, Outlook/Risk

In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $346,000 and net cash used by operating activities of $158,000. Our cash position increased from $99,000 at June 30, 2019 to $225,000 at June 30, 2020 as a result of prepayments received from presales of Covid-19 rapid antibody tests, the private placement in the amount of $199,000 closed in February 2020 and proceeds from the PPP loan.
In other efforts to reduce cash requirements, we have issued shares of restricted stock in lieu of cash. More specifically, we issued 300,000 restricted shares of common stock to Cherokee in connection with a February 2020 debt extension and 129,636 restricted shares of common stock to board members in connection with their attendance at a meeting of our Board of Directors in the six months ended June 30, 2020. We doexpect to issue additional restricted shares of common stock for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors.
Our ability to repay our current debt may also be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory, legal, business and other factors beyond our control, including those discussed herein. If we are unable to meet our credit facility obligations, we would be required to raise money through new equity and/or debt financing(s) and, there is no assurance that we would be able to find new financing, or that any new financing would be at favorable terms.
On June 22, 2020, we extended the Crestmark LOC until June 22, 2021. All terms and conditions of the Crestmark LOC remain unchanged under the extension period with the exception of the following, 1) the maximum availability under the Crestmark LOC was reduced from $1,500,000 to $1,000,000, 2) availability under the Crestmark LOC is based on receivables only (under the same terms), 3) the requirement for field audits of the Company was removed, and 4) the Tangible Net Worth (TNW) covenant was removed.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 to be a pandemic. Covid-19 has spread throughout the globe, including in the State of New York where our headquarters are located, and in the State of New Jersey where our strip manufacturing facility is located. In response to the outbreak, we have followed the guidelines of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and applicable state government authorities to protect the health and safety of our employees, families, suppliers, customers and communities. While these existing measures and, Covid-19 generally, have not expect significant increasesmaterially disrupted our business operations to date, any future actions necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic may result in expenses duringdisruption to our business. While we have not seen a disruption in our business operations to date, our drug testing sales have been negatively impacted by the year ending December 31, 2017pandemic.
While the Covid-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve and as evidenced bysurges continue to occur, we continue to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic to best mitigate risk and continue the operations of our operating expenses forbusiness. The extent to which the year ended December 31, 2016 (“Fiscal 2016”),outbreak impacts our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity or longevity of the Covid-19 pandemic and actions that may be taken to contain it or treat its impact, among others. If we, have taken steps (andour customers or suppliers experience (or in some cases continue to experience) prolonged shutdowns or other business disruptions, our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial condition are likely to be materially adversely affected, and our ability to access the capital markets may be limited.

We will continue to take steps)steps to ensure that operating expenses and manufacturing costs remain in line with sales levels. In 2017, we will continueWe have consolidated job responsibilities in certain areas of the Company and this enabled us to focusimplement personnel reductions. Sales declines result in lower cash balances and lower availability on our efforts on improving sales. Such steps include, but are not limited to, further penetrating the Clinical markets such as pain management and drug treatment now that our Rapid TOX Cup II received OTC marketing clearance from FDA in August 2017 and entering into strategic relationships with third parties to offer additional products and services to our customers. This includes products for the detectionline of alcohol, alternative sample options for drug testing (such as lab based oral fluid testing and hair testing) as well as toxicology management services, and lower-cost alternatives for onsite drug testing.credit at times. We are hopeful that these additional productpromoting new products and service offerings will haveto diversify our revenue stream, including a positive impact on salesCovid-19 rapid antibody test. We also secured the business of two (2) new contract manufacturing customers in the future. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we utilized cash resources to complete our FDA marketing application process (which resulted in a marketing clearance in August 2017) and to take other steps that could result in increased sales. In addition, cash resources have been utilized to initiate litigation against Premier Biotech Inc., and its President, Todd Bailey (a former Vice President and sales consultant of the Company), and Peckham Vocational Industries, Inc., among others. While we expect additional cash resources to be used related to the ligation, we do not expect additional expenditures related to marketing clearances in the year ending December 31, 2017.

None of these efforts related to sales, or any other efforts being taken related to other operational activities, resulted in a substantial increase in cash requirements in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In the second quarter of the year ended December 31, 2016, we received our final payment of $150,000 related2019. As the market for Covid-19 testing continues to a tech transfer with one of our contract-manufacturing customers. The loss of a state agency contract starting October 1, 2017 is expected to have a material impact on our sales. Ifdevelop over time, we are unablealso reviewing alternative products to recoup this loss (which has historically been 10-15% ofoffer our annual sales), it is possiblecustomers; products such as PCR tests, antigen tests and tests that our current line of credit (and advance rates) would not be adequate for our cash requirements in the year ending December 31, 2017, especially if expense levels do not decline in line with the sales decline and especially considering the costs related to litigation. In addition, extraordinary events could occur that would result in unexpected, increased expenditures.

If events and circumstances occur such that 1) we do not meet our current operating plans to increase sales, 2) we are unable to raise sufficient additional equityuse new (alternative) samples (such as saliva or debt financing, or 3) our credit facilities are insufficient or not available, we may be required to further reduce expenses or take other steps which could have a material adverse effect on our future performance.

Our ability to repay our current debt will depend primarily upon our future operating performance, which may be affected by the loss of a material contract in October 2017, general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory, business and other factors beyond our control, including those discussed herein. In addition, we cannot assure you that future borrowings or equity financing will be available for the payment of any indebtedness we may have.

Our failure to comply with the covenant under our revolving credit facility could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in the Company being required to pay higher costs associated with the indebtedness. breath).

If we are forced to refinance our debt on less favorable terms, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by increased costs and rates. There is also no assurance that we could obtain alternative debt facilities. We may also be forced to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as restructuring, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital expenditures or seeking additional equity capital. There can be no assurances that any of these strategies could be implemented on satisfactory terms, if at all.

If events and circumstances occur such that 1) we do not meet our current operating plans to increase sales, 2) we are unable to raise sufficient additional equity or debt financing, 3), we are unable to utilize equity as a form of payment in lieu of cash, or 4) our credit facilities are insufficient or not available, we may be required to further reduce expenses or take other steps which could have a material adverse effect on our future performance.
