EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 25, 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an order Release No. 34-88465 (the “Order”) pursuant to its authority under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) granting exemptions from certain provisions of that Act and the rules thereunder related to the reporting and proxy delivery requirements for certain public companies. Interpace Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 in reliance on the Order, permitting a delay in filing due to circumstances related to COVID-19. The Company filed, on May 15, 2020, a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “May 15th 8-K”) indicating its intention to rely on the Order. As stated in the May 15th 8-K, the Company required additional time to finalize this report due to circumstances related to COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. The effects of COVID-19 have limited the abilities of the Company’s employees to conduct normal business activities. This, in turn, delayed the Company’s ability to prepare this report.

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this Amendment) amends the Company’s Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as amended, (the “Original Filing”) and is being filed to show the impact in such quarter of intangible asset amortization and impairment expense for its Barrett’s and Thyroid assets which began in 2014. Subsequent to the issuance of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Company determined that amortization should have commenced upon acquisition of those assets as opposed to the Company’s previously disclosed policy of beginning asset amortization when the product was launched and generating revenue. The impact of the additional amortization expense for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was approximately $0.1 million. The impact of the other immaterial adjustments for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was $0.1 million in expense and $0.2 million in a credit to expense, respectively

A description of these adjustments and a summary showing their effect on the restated consolidated statements of operations is provided in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. In addition to the errors described above, the restated financial statements also include adjustments to correct certain other immaterial errors, including previously unrecorded immaterial adjustments identified in audits of prior years’ financial statements.

The Company is filing this report in order to amend certain information in Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I to reflect the restatement of the March 31, 2020 and 2019 unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and Notes 1,3,5 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements attached hereto solely to the extent necessary to reflect the adjustments described herein; and the principal executive officer and principal financial officer certifications pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Except for the foregoing items, no other information in the Original Filing is revised by this Amendment.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

 

We have taken what we believe are all necessary precautions to safeguard our employees from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We are following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (“CDC”) guidance and local restrictions. The majorityoutbreak of our employees who do not work in a lab are currently on a telecommunication work arrangement and have generally been able to successfully work remotely. Our labs require in-person staffing and as of the date of this report, we have been able to successfully operate our labs through a combination of social distancing and protective equipment. Our employees in the lab are wearing what we believe is appropriate protective gear. There can be no assurance that key employees will not become ill or that we will able to continue to operate our labs. We have furloughed a number of employees as a result of reductions in customer demand.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impactscontinues to impact a significant portion of the regions in which we operate. The continuing impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our operations, is dependent on future developments, which are stillincluding duration, severity and scope, remains highly uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time, and includetime. While we believe we have generally recovered from the duration, severity and scope ofadverse impact that the outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus outbreak. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally is adversely affecting global economies and financial markets which could materially and adversely impactCOVID-19 pandemic had on our operations including, without limitation, the functioning of our laboratories, the availability of supplies including reagents, the progress and data collection of our pharma services, customer demand and travel and employee health and availability.

Webusiness during 2020, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic willcould continue to adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition forin the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and possibly beyond. Our fiscal 2020 first quarter revenue wasfuture.

As our business operations continue to be impacted by lower than expected clinical service volume throughout March 2020, whichthe pandemic, we believe has resulted from the temporary reduction in non-essential testing procedures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Our pharma services first quarter revenue increased throughout the first quarter and average daily accessions improved in March 2020 as compared to January and February 2020. However, as of the date of this Report, our overall business is still down approximately 30% from our run rate before the pandemic.

While we do not anticipate any lab closures at this time beyond periodic, temporary work stoppages from time to time to clean and disinfect the labs. Lab supplies including reagents have been secured to mitigate any potentiallabs, this could change in the future based upon conditions caused by the pandemic. It is also possible that we could experience supply chain issues forshortages if the pandemic worsens and if one or more suppliers is unable to continue to provide us with supplies.

We have restated hereindeveloped and will continue to update our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020. We have also restated impacted amounts within the accompanying footnotes to the consolidated financial statements which have been noted as such.

As a result of overall economic conditions related to the coronavirus pandemic, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Company’s financial results, and the decrease in the price of the Company’s common stock noted during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company performed an internal review of its long-lived assets. Due to an extended delay in the launch of the Company’s Barrett’s test, the Company believes there was a triggering event in Fiscal 2016. The Company applied the required procedures under ASC 360 and assessed the estimated future cash flows related to the Barrett’s intangible asset on an undiscounted basis. It was determined that the carrying value of the asset was in excess of the undiscounted cash flows as of December 31, 2016. As a result, the Company performed a formal valuation of the asset on a discounted basiscontingency plans in order to measuremitigate pandemic-related, adverse financial impacts upon our business.

Transition costs

To optimize the related impairment. Additionally,operations of laboratory operations within our pharma services, we transitioned activities from the Company concluded that amortizationRutherford, NJ facility to our Morrisville, NC facility. We invested several million dollars to facilitate this relocation, including but not limited to the transfer of both the Barrett’s intangible asset and its Thyroid intangible assets should have begun at the point in which the asset was ready for use. The Company’s policy had been to amortize such assets upon launchpersonnel, expansion of the test.

On December 7, 2020,Morrisville facility and validation of transferred processes. We believe that this investment will result in a reduction in future operating costs; however, it is not certain whether we will fully realize the Company’s management conferred with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and concluded that (1) a non-cash impairment charge for an intangible asset of approximately $12 million should have been recorded during the Company’s 2016 fiscal year; (2) the Company should have initiated amortization of such intangible asset in fiscal 2014 and therefore each of fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 and the first two quarters of fiscal 2020 require adjustment to record amortization expense; (3) the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, as well as the consolidated financial statements contained in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each quarterly period within those fiscal years as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, should no longer be relied upon. As a result the Company is restating its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 in this Form 10-Q/A.anticipated savings.

The following tables present reconciliation from our prior periods as previously reported to the restated values for the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statement of operations. A description of misstatements is listed below:

a)

Amortization expense - We recorded amortization expense starting at the dates of acquisition for our Barrett’s and Thyroid intangible assets. The impact of the additional amortization charge was approximately $0.1 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

b)

Asset impairment - We recorded an impairment charge on our Barrett’s intangible asset of approximately $11.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.

c)Adjustments - Adjustments to correct certain other immaterial errors, including previously unrecorded immaterial adjustments identified in audits of prior years’ financial statements.

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (the “Interim Financial Statements”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Interpace Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company” or “Interpace”),the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Interpace(Interpace Diagnostics Lab Inc., Interpace Diagnostics Corporation, Interpace Pharma Solutions, Inc. and Interpace Diagnostics, LLC,LLC), and related notes as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, as filed with the SECSecurities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 22, 20201, 2021 and as amended on MayApril 29, 2020 and the date hereof (the “Form 10-K”).2021.

 

The condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed Interim Financial Statements include all normal recurring adjustments that, in the judgment of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such interim financial statements. Discontinued operations include the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Group DCA, LLC, or Group DCA; InServe Support Solutions; and TVG, Inc. and its Commercial Services (“CSO”) business unit which was sold on December 22, 2015. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. All information related to common stock, stock options, restricted stock units, warrants and earnings per share have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split (1 for 10) that occurred in January 2020.2021.

 

3.LIQUIDITYGOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and that contemplates the continuity of operations, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

As of March 31, 2020,2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, net of $13.4restricted cash of $2.8 million, net accounts receivable of $9.8$7.9 million, total current assets, net of $28.1restricted cash of $13.7 million and total current liabilities of $15.7$20.5 million. For the three-monthsthree month period ended March 31, 2020,2021, the Company had a net loss of $6.5$4.2 million and cash used in operating activities was $7.1$5.0 million.

We do not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations for the year ending December 31, 2020. We intend to meet our ongoing capital needs by using our available cash, proceeds under the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, additional borrowings under the Line As of Credit as well as by increasing our lineMay 10, 2021 we had approximately $6.4 million of credit limit as a result of the additional accounts receivable acquired in July 2019 as part of our acquisition of the Biopharma business of Cancer Genetics, Inc. or CGI, now our pharma services (which requires a modification to the bank agreement and approval by Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), revenue growth and margin improvement, collecting accounts receivable, containing costs as well as exploring other financing options. Management believes that the Company has sufficient cash on hand, and sufficient access to cash to sustain operations through at least June 30, 2021.

In September 2019, we entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., as sales agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which we may, from time to time, issue and sell sharesnet of our common stock in an aggregate offering price of up to $4.8 million through the Agent. See Note 16, Equity, for more details. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 178,000 shares of common stock were sold for net proceeds of approximately $0.7 million. As a result of the preferred shares transaction mentioned below, additional shares may no longer be sold under the ATM arrangement without a majority approval by the holders of the preferred shares. See Note 16, Equity, for more detail.restricted cash.

 

In January 2020, we sold 20,000 Series B preferred shares to investors, led by 1315 Capital II, L.P. (“1315 Capital”), for net proceeds of approximately $19.5$19.2 million. See Note 16, Equity, for more detail.

 

The Company maintains an up to a $4.0 million secured Line of Credit facility including a 3-year term loan for $850,000 with SVB. The proceeds of the term loan are expected to be used for laboratory capital expenditures and will be repaid monthly. The balance of the Line of Credit is available for working capital purposes as a revolving line of credit and has a three-year term. The borrowing limit of the revolving line of credit is the lower of 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable (as adjusted by SVB) and the aggregate amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable during the three prior calendar months. Term loan outstanding amounts incur interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (the “Prime Rate”) and 5.00%. Revolving Line outstanding amounts incur interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.5%. As of March 31, 2020, $1.2 million was outstanding and $2.2 million was remaining on the Line of Credit.

In September 2020, we repaid approximately $3.4 million to Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) under our former secured revolving line of credit facility (the “Revolver”), which was part of our Loan and Security Agreement with SVB dated November 13, 2018, as amended March 18, 2019 (as so amended, the second quarter“SVB Loan Agreement”). On January 5, 2021, the Company terminated the SVB Loan Agreement.

On January 7, 2021, the Company entered into a $3 million loan through a secured promissory note with Ampersand 2018 Limited Partnership (“Ampersand”) and a $2 million loan through a secured promissory note with 1315 Capital, its Series B shareholders. Both loans are secured by substantially all of fiscal 2020 and possibly beyond.the Company’s assets. See Note 14, Notes Payable – Related Parties.

 

During AprilFiscal 2020, the Company applied for various federal stimulus grants and advances made available under Title 1 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. As of May 1, 2020, weAct (the “CARES Act”) and received $2.1 million in advances under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)(“CMS”) accelerated and advance payment program, as well as a $0.65 million grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS). The CMSprogram. This advance will be offset against future Medicare billings of the Company andbeginning in the HSS grant is subject to certain conditions regarding its use, including developing coronavirus and serology tests. These grants and advances require certain certifications by the Company and impose specific limitations on the usesecond quarter of the proceeds. Based on these restrictions and limitations, the Company is treating the $0.65 million HSS grant as restricted cash until we have clarity on how the funds can be utilized by the Company based on the specific requirements of the HSS.2021.

 

During April and early May 2020, the Company made payments totaling $888,000 to CGI for funds withheld from the Excess Consideration Note to satisfy certain adjustments and indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The funds used to satisfy this obligation were not included inCompany’s cash and cash equivalents as ofbalance is decreasing and we do not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations for the year ending December 31, 20192021.

4.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates include accounting for valuation allowances related to deferred income taxes, contingent consideration, allowances for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, unrecognized tax benefits, and asset impairments involving other intangible assets. The Company periodically reviews these matters and reflects changes in estimates in earnings as appropriate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our clinical services derive its revenues from the performance of its proprietary assays or tests. The Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled upon the completion, review and release of test results to the customer. The Company subsequently bills third-party payers or direct-bill payers for the tests performed. Under Accounting Standards Codification 606, revenue is recognized based on the estimated transaction price or NRV, which is determined based on historical collection rates by each payer category for each proprietary test offered by the Company. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, for all third party and direct-bill payers and proprietary tests, 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.

 

For our clinical services, we regularly review the ultimate amounts received from the third-party and direct-bill payers and related estimated reimbursement rates and adjust the NRV’s and related contractual allowances accordingly. If actual collections and related NRV’s vary significantly from our estimates, we will adjust the estimates of contractual allowances, which would affectaffects net revenue in the period such variances become known.

 

For our pharma services, performanceproject level activities, including study setup and project management, are satisfied over the life of the contract while performance-related obligations are satisfied at a point in time as the Company processes samples delivered by the customer. Project level activities, including study setup and project management, are satisfied over the life of the contract. Revenues are recognized at a point in time when the test results or other deliverables are reported to the customer.

Deferred Revenue

 

For our pharma services, project level fee revenue is recognized as deferred revenue and recorded at fair value. It represents payments received in advance of services rendered and is recognized ratably over the life of the contract.

18

 

Financing and Payment

 

For non-Medicare claims, our payment terms vary by payer category. Payment terms for direct-payers in our clinical or diagnostics businessservices are typically thirty days and in our pharma services, up to sixty days. Commercial third-party-payers are required to respond to a claim within a time period established by their respective state regulations, generally between thirty to sixty days. However, payment for commercial third-party claims may be subject to a denial and appeal process, which could take up to two years in some instances where multiple appeals are submitted. The Company generally appeals all denials from commercial third-party payers. We bill Medicare directly for tests performed for Medicare patients and must accept Medicare’s fee schedule for the covered tests as payment in full.

 

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Customer Contract

 

Sales commissions are expensed when incurred becausein the amortization period wouldin which they have been one year or less.earned. These costs are recorded in sales and marketing expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s accounts receivables represent unconditional rights to consideration and are generated using its clinical services and pharma services. The Company’s clinical services are fulfilled upon completion of the test, review and release of the test results. In conjunction with fulfilling these services, the Company bills the third-party payer or direct-bill payer. Contractual adjustments represent the difference between the list prices and the reimbursement rates set by third partythird-party payers, including Medicare, commercial payers, and amounts billed to direct-bill payers. Specific accounts may be written off after several appeals, which in some cases may take longer than twelve months. Pharma services represent, primarily, the performance of laboratory tests in support of clinical trials for pharma services customers. The Company bills these services directly to the customer.

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. All leases with terms greater than twelve months result in the recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Unless a lease provides all of the information required to determine the implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. We use the implicit interest rate in the lease when readily determinable.

 

Our lease terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend (or to not terminate) the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with terms of twelve months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of an asset or liability. See Note 7, Leases.

Other Current Assets

 

Other current assets consisted of the following as of March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019:2020:

Long-Lived Assets, including Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

 

Finite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of finite-lived acquired intangible assets is recognized on a straight-line basis, using the estimated useful lives of the assets of approximately two years to ten years in acquisition relatedacquisition-related amortization expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized by reducing the recorded value of the asset to its fair value measured by future discounted cash flows. This analysis requires estimates of the amount and timing of projected cash flows and, where applicable, judgments associated with, among other factors, the appropriate discount rate. Such estimates are critical in determining whether any impairment charge should be recorded and the amount of such charge if an impairment loss is deemed to be necessary.

6.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their relative short-term nature. The Company’s financial liabilities reflected at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements include contingent consideration and warrant liability. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based upon observable inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values into three broad levels as follows:

 

 Level 1:Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active markets from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
   
 Level 2:Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
   
 Level 3:Valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The valuation methodologies used for the Company’s financial instruments measured on a recurring basis at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth in the tables below:

(1)(2) See Note 9, Accrued Expenses and Long-Term Liabilities

 

In connection with the acquisition of certain assets from Asuragen, Inc., the Company recorded contingent consideration related to contingent payments and other revenue-based payments. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement.

8.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record a liability for the loss. In addition to the estimated loss, the recorded liability includes probable and estimable legal costs associated with the claim or potential claim. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business. There is no pending litigation involving the Company at this time.

 

Due to the nature of the businesses in which the Company is engaged, it is subject to certain risks. Such risks include, among others, risk of liability for personal injury or death to persons using products or services that the Company promotes or commercializes.

11.INCOME TAXES

 

Generally, accounting standards require companies to provide for income taxes each quarter based on their estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes allows use of the discrete method when it provides a better estimate of income tax expense. Due to the Company’s valuation allowance position, it is the Company’s position that the discrete method provides a more accurate estimate of income tax expense and therefore income tax expense for the current quarter has been presented using the discrete method. As the year progresses, the Company refines its estimate based on the facts and circumstances by each tax jurisdiction. The following table summarizes income tax expense on loss from continuing operations and the effective tax rate for three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

Income tax expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was primarily due to minimum state and local taxes.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in March 2020. The CARES Act includes several U.S. income tax provisions related to, among other things, net operating loss carrybacks, alternative minimum tax credits, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, and technical amendments regarding the income tax depreciation of qualified improvement property placed in service after December 31, 2017. The CARES Act is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

LINE OF CREDITNOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTIES

Secured Promissory Notes

On January 7, 2021, the Company entered into promissory notes with Ampersand, in the amount of $3 million, and 1315 Capital, in the amount of $2 million, respectively (together, the “Notes”) and a related security agreement (the “Security Agreement”).

Ampersand holds 28,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible from time to time into an aggregate of 4,666,666 shares of our Common Stock, and 1315 Capital holds 19,000 shares of the Company Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible from time to time into an aggregate of 3,166,668 shares of our Common Stock. On an as-converted basis, such shares would represent approximately 39.3% and 26.7% of our fully-diluted shares of Common Stock, respectively. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock certificate of designation and an amended and restated investor rights agreement among the Company and Ampersand and 1315 Capital, they each have the right to (1) approve certain of our actions, including our borrowing of money and (2) designate two directors to our Board of Directors; provided, that certain of such rights held by 1315 Capital have been delegated pursuant to the related Support Agreement (See Note 16). As a result, the Company considers the Notes and Security Agreement to be a related party transaction.

On November 13, 2018 the Company, Interpace Diagnostics Corporation, and Interpace Diagnostics, LLC entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “SVB Loan Agreement”) with SVB, which provides for up to $4.0 million of debt financing consisted of a term loan of up to $850,000 and a revolving line of credit based on its outstanding accounts receivable (the “Revolving Line”) of up to $3.75 million. The ability to use the term loan portion of the SVB Loan Agreement expired in 2019.

 

The amount that may be borrowed under the Revolving Line is the lower of (i) $3.75 million or (ii) 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable (as adjusted by SVB). Revolving Line outstanding amounts incur interest at a rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 0.5%. The Company is also required to pay an unused Revolving Line facility fee monthly in arrears in an amount equal to 0.35% per annum of the average unused but available portion of the Revolving Line. The Revolving Line has a maturity date three years from the effective date, or November 13, 2021.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had drawn $1.2 million of the available funds with the Revolving Line and had $2.55 million of remaining availability. As of December 31, 2019, we were in violation of a financial covenant for which we received a waiver from SVB on March 19, 2020. The Company currently is in compliance with all covenants.

As of June 17, 2020, the Company has maximized its borrowing under its line of credit facility and therefore has no further availability on its credit facility; however, we are in the process of seeking to expand availability under the credit facility on terms similar to existing terms, but there can be no assurance that such credit line extension will be granted or that it will be granted on commercially reasonable and acceptable terms

The rate of interest on the Notes is equal to eight percent (8.0%) per annum and their maturity date is the earlier of (a) June 30, 2021 and (b) the date on which all amounts become due upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined in the Notes. No interest payments are due on the Notes until their maturity date. All payments on the Notes are pari passu.

 

In connection with the Security Agreement, the Notes are secured by a first priority lien and security interest on substantially all of the assets of the Company. Additionally, if a change of control of the Company occurs (as defined in the Notes) the Company is required to make a prepayment of the Notes in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the Notes out of the net cash proceeds received by the Company from the consummation of the transactions related to such change of control. The Company may prepay the Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or premium by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. No prepaid amount may be re-borrowed.

The Notes contain certain negative covenants which prevent the Company from issuing any debt securities pursuant to which the Company issues shares, warrants or any other convertible security in the same transaction or a series of related transactions, except that Company may incur or enter into any capitalized and operating leases in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, or borrowed money or funded debt in an amount not to exceed $4.5 million (the “Debt Threshold”) that is subordinated to the Notes on terms acceptable to Ampersand and 1315 Capital; provided, that if the aggregate consolidated revenue recognized by the Company as reported on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC for any fiscal year ending after January 10, 2020 exceeds $45 million, the Debt Threshold for the following fiscal year shall increase to an amount equal to: (x) ten percent (10%); multiplied by (y) the consolidated revenue as reported by the Company on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC for the previous fiscal year.

Preferred Stock Issuance

Issuance: Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement

 

On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement”) with 1315 Capital II, L.P., (“1315 Capital”), and Ampersand 2018 Limited Partnership (“Ampersand” and, together with 1315 Capital,(collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors an aggregate of $20.0 million in Series B convertible preferred stockPreferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at an issuance price per share of $1,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, 1315 Capital agreed to purchase 19,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an aggregate purchase price of $19.0 million and Ampersand agreed to purchase 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million.

 

In addition, the Company agreed to exchange $27.0 million of the Company’s existing Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, held by Ampersand (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), represented by 270 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $100,000 per share, which represents all of the Company’s issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, for 27,000 newly issued shares of Series B Preferred Stock (such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the “Exchange Shares” and such transaction, the “Exchange”). Following the Exchange, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remained designated, authorized, issued or outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $6.00 as compared to a conversion price of $8.00 on the Series A Preferred Stock, but did not include certain rights applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock, including a six-percent (6%) dividend and a conversion price adjustment for any failure by the Company to achieve a revenue target of $34.0 million in 2020 related to its diagnostics businessclinical services or a weighted-average anti-dilution adjustment. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, Ampersand also agreed to waive all dividends and weighted-average anti-dilution adjustments accrued to date on the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

A convertible financial instrument includes a beneficial conversion feature if its conversion price is lower than the Company’s stock price at the commitment date. The Company determined that the sale of the Series B Preferred resulted in a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $2.2 million, which the Company recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital upon the sale of the Series B Preferred stock. The Company calculated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature as the difference between the estimated fair value of the common stockCommon Stock on January 15, 2020 of $6.79 per share and the effective conversion price per share of $6.00 multiplied by the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion. The Company fully amortized the beneficial conversion feature during the three months ended March 31, 2020 in accordance with GAAP. The beneficial conversion feature resulted in an increase in the loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020 in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, as it representsrepresented a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders.

 

ATM program

On September 20, 2019,In April 2020, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”)support agreements with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., as sales agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its Common Stock, at an aggregate offering price of up to $4.8 million (the “Shares”) through the Agent. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Agent may sell the Shares at market prices by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares, and may at any time suspend sales under the Agreement or terminate the Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Company has provided the Agent with customary indemnification rights, and the Agent will be entitled to a fixed commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Shares sold. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, and the Company is required to deliver customary closing documents and certificates in connection with sales of the Shares. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 178,000 shares have been sold for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $0.7 million.

19.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Federal Stimulus Programs in Connection with Coronavirus Pandemic

AsDisposition of May 1, 2020, we received $2.1 million in advances under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) accelerated and advance payment program, as well as a $0.65 million grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS). The CMS advance will be offset against future Medicare billings of the Company, and the HSS grant is subject to certain conditions regarding its use, including developing coronavirus and serology tests. These grants and advances require certain certifications by the Company and impose specific limitations on the use of the proceeds. Based on these restrictions and limitations, the Company is treating the $0.65 million HSS grant as restricted cash until we have clarity on how the funds can be utilized by the Company based on the specific requirements of the HSS. Furthermore, although the Company initially explored the possibility of requesting a loan under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program, we elected not to complete an application because we are not certain we meet certain criteria of the program.

During April and early May 2020, the Company made payments totaling $888,000 to CGI for funds withheld from the Excess Consideration Note to satisfy certain adjustments and indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The funds used to satisfy this obligation were not included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. These funds and the related liability were included in Other Current Assets and Other Accrued Expenses, respectively, as of those period ends, and the settlement of the liability had no net impact on the Company’s operating cash flow or liquidity.

OVERVIEW

 

We are an emerging leader in enabling precision medicine principally in oncology by offering specialized services along the therapeutic value chain from early diagnosis and prognostic planning to targeted therapeutic applications through our clinical services and pharma services. Through our clinical services, we enable physicians to personalize the clinical management of each individual patient by providing genomic information to better diagnose, monitor and inform cancer treatment. Our clinical services provide clinically useful molecular diagnostic tests, bioinformatics and pathology services for evaluating risk of cancer by leveraging the latest technology in personalized medicine for improved patient diagnosis and management. Through our pharma services, we develop, commercialize and provide molecular- and biomarker-based tests and services and provide companies with customized solutions for patient stratification and treatment selection through an extensive suite of molecular and biomarker-based testing services, DNA- and RNA- extraction and customized assay development and trial design consultation. Our pharma services provide pharmacogenomics testing, genotyping, biorepository and other specialized services to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries and advancesadvance personalized medicine by partnering with pharmaceutical, academic and technology leaders to effectively integrate pharmacogenomics into drug development and clinical trial programs with the goals of delivering safer, more effective drugs to market more quickly, and improving patient care.

 

During fiscal 2019, in connection with the acquisition of our pharma services, we raised $27 million with Ampersand, a diagnostic laboratory private equity investor. This was followed by raising an additional $20 million in early 2020 led by 1315 Capital, another sophisticated private equity investor. We believe that the combination of our clinical services and acquired pharma services uniquely positions us for growth and expansion in the fast-growing biopharma sector where we can provide our unique diagnostic capabilities to a broad customer base.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

We have taken what we believe are all necessary precautions to safeguard our employees from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We are following CDC guidance and local restrictions. All employees who do not work in a lab have been on a telecommunication work arrangement. Our employees in the lab are wearing what we believe is appropriate protective gear. There can be no assurance that key employees will not become ill or that we will able to continue to operate our labs. We have furloughed a number of employees as a result of reductions in customer demand and we have closed our administrative offices. Our labs require in-person staffing and as of the date of this report, we have been able to successfully operate our labs though a combination of social distancing, managing lab scheduling and protective equipment. Our management, finance staff and sales personnel have generally been able to successfully work remotely. As of June 15, 2020 we began allowing general and administrative staff to return to their respective offices on a limited basis.

 

The extent to whichoutbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic impactscontinues to impact a significant portion of the regions in which we operate. The continuing impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our operations, continues to depend on future developments, which areincluding duration, severity and scope, remains highly uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time, and includetime. While we believe we have generally recovered from the duration, severity and scope ofadverse impact that the outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus outbreak. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally has adversely affecting global economies and financial markets resulting in an economic downturn which could materially and adversely impactCOVID-19 pandemic had on our operations including, without limitation, the functioning of our laboratories, the availability of supplies including reagents, the progress and data collection of our pharma services, customer demand and travel and employee health and availability.

Webusiness during 2020, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic will alsocould continue to adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition forin the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and possibly beyond. Our fiscal 2020 first quarter revenue wasfuture.

As our business operations continue to be impacted by lower than expected clinical service volume throughout March 2020, whichthe pandemic, we believe has resulted fromcontinue to monitor the temporary reductionsituation and the guidance that is being provided by relevant federal, state and local public health authorities. We may take additional actions based upon their recommendations. However, it is possible that we may have to make further adjustments to our operating plans in non-essential testing procedures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, we did reduce overall costsreaction to match the lower volumes in the labs.developments that are beyond our control.

 

However, as of the date of this Report, our overall business is still down approximately 30% from our run rate before the pandemic. We have continued to add resources to support the increased volume consistent with the changing environment. However, as we rebuild our cost structure to support the improved volume, there is risk that the anticipated volume growth will not materialize as planned and we will be required to adjust accordingly.

To optimize the pharma services lab operations we are transitioning lab work from Rutherford, NJ to our facility in Morrisville, NC. We will be investing several million dollars to facilitate the move, transfer personnel, build out facilities and validate processes over the next several months. We believe this investment and transition will result in reduced operating costs in the future: however, there is no guarantee we will be as successful with the move or the benefits expected thereof as we currently plan.

All of our labs are currently operating and we believe we are appropriately staffed for the volume of work. At this time,While we do not anticipate any lab closures at this time beyond periodic, temporary work stoppages from time to time to clean and disinfect the labs. Lab supplies including reagents have been secured to mitigate any potentiallabs, this could change in the future based upon conditions caused by the pandemic. It is also possible that we could experience supply chain issues forshortages if the pandemic worsens and if one or more suppliers is unable to continue to provide us with supplies. For the foreseeable future, however, we do not anticipate supply chain shortages of critical supplies.

We have developed and will continue to update our contingency plans in order to mitigate pandemic-related, adverse financial impacts upon our business.

Transition costs

To optimize the operations of laboratory operations within our pharma services, we aretransitioned activities from the Rutherford, NJ facility to our Morrisville, NC facility. We invested several million dollars to facilitate this relocation, including but not observing any shortageslimited to the transfer of personnel, expansion of the Morrisville facility and validation of transferred processes. We believe that this investment will result in a reduction in future operating costs; however, it is not certain whether we will fully realize the anticipated savings.

Revenue Recognition

 

Clinical services derive its revenues from the performance of its proprietary assays or tests. The Company’sOur performance obligation is fulfilled upon completion, review and release of test results to the customer. The Company subsequently billscustomer, at which time we bill third-party payers or direct-bill payers for the tests performed. Under Accounting Standards Codification 606, revenue is recognized based onupon the estimated transaction price or net realizable value (“NRV”), which is determined based on historical collection rates by each payer category for each proprietary test offered by the Company.offered. To the extent that the transaction price includes variable consideration, for all third party and direct-bill payers and proprietary tests, the Company estimateswe estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using the expected value method based on historical experience.

 

For our clinical services, we regularly review theThe ultimate amounts received from the third-party and direct-bill payers and related estimated reimbursement rates are regularly reviewed and we adjust the NRV’s and related contractual allowances accordingly. If actual collections and related NRV’s vary significantly from our estimates, we adjust the estimates of contractual allowances, which would affectaffects net revenue in the period such variances become known.

 

ForWith respect to our pharma services, customers,customer performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time as the Company processes samples delivered by the customer. Project level activities, including study setup and project management, are satisfied over the life of the contract. Revenues are recognized at a point in time when the test results or other deliverables are reported to the customer.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

For our pharma services, project level fee revenue is recognized as deferred revenue and recorded at fair value. It represents payments received in advance of services rendered and is recognized ratably over the life of the contract.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, results provided throughout this document, we have provided certain non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate the results of our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP financial measures, are useful to both management and investors in analyzing our ongoing business and operating performance. We believe that providing the non-GAAP information to investors, in addition to the GAAP presentation, allows investors to view our financial results in the way that management views financial results.

In this 10-Q, we discuss Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to measure cash flow of the ongoing business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income or loss from continuing operations, plus depreciation and amortization, acquisition related expenses, transition expenses, noncash stock based compensation, interest and taxes, and other non-cash expenses including asset impairment costs, bad debt expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, goodwill impairment and change in fair value of contingent consideration, and warrant liability. The table below includes a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

AsSee Note 1, Overview, of June 17,the notes to the financial statements, regarding the potential adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition for fiscal 2021 and possibly beyond.

During Fiscal 2020, wethe Company applied for various federal stimulus grants and advances made available under Title 1 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (the “CARES Act”) and received $2.1 million in advances under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)(“CMS”) accelerated and advance payment program, as well as a $0.65 million grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS). The CMSprogram. This advance will be offset against future Medicare billings of the Company beginning in the second quarter of 2021.

The Company has and the HSS grant is subjectmay continue to delay, scale-back, or eliminate certain conditions regardingof its use, including developing coronavirusactivities and serology tests. These grants and advances require certain certifications by the Company and impose specific limitations on the useother aspects of the proceeds. Based on these restrictions and limitations,its operations until such time as the Company is treatingsuccessful in securing additional funding. The Company is exploring various dilutive and non-dilutive sources of funding, including equity and debt financings, strategic alliances, business development and other sources.

There can be utilized byno assurance, however, that the Company basedwill be successful in obtaining such funding in sufficient amounts, on the specific requirements of the HSS. Furthermore, althoughterms acceptable to the Company, initially exploredor at all. These factors raise substantial doubt about the possibility of requestingCompany’s ability to continue as a loan under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program, we elected not to complete an application because we are not certain we meet certain criteria of the program.going concern.

 

During April and early May 2020, the Company made payments totaling $888,000 to CGI for funds withheld from the Excess Consideration Note to satisfy certain adjustments and indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The funds used to satisfy this obligation were not included inCompany’s cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019balance is decreasing and March 31, 2020. These funds and the related liability were included in Other Assets and Other Current Liabilities, respectively, as of those period ends, and the settlement of the liability had no net impact on the Company’s operating cash flow or liquidity.

We dowe will not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations for the year ending December 31, 2020.2021. We intend to meet our ongoing capital needs by using our available cash, proceeds underincluding the Securities PurchaseAmpersand and Exchange Agreement, additional borrowings under the Line of Credit1315 Capital loans, as well as increasing our line of credit limit as a result of the additional accounts receivable acquired in July 2019 as part of our acquisition of pharma services (which requires a modification to the bank agreement and approval by SVB which cannot be assured, revenue growth and margin improvement, collectingimprovement; collection of accounts receivable, containing costs as well as exploringreceivable; containment of costs; and the potential use of other financing options. Our planned capital expenditures over the next twelve months currently includes several million dollars to be utilized in consolidating our laboratories, which includes equipment purchases, calibration and testing costs, moving and other related costs, and leasehold improvements. Management believes that the Company has sufficient cash on hand and available to sustain operations through at least June 30, 2021. However, in the event the Company is unable to maintain its Nasdaq listing for its common stock due to a failure to meet minimum stockholder equity requirements as a result of the classification of its preferred stock as temporary equity and the amortization and impairment of certain intangible assets, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted. Therefore, there is no guarantee that additional capital can be raised to fund our future operations.

Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we attempt to minimize any effects of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costs and whenever possible, seeking to insureensure that billing rates reflect increases in costs due to inflation.

Based on this assessment, management has identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to properly identifying all the events that could trigger an asset impairment. The Company did not properly amend policies and procedures associated with its valuation process for asset impairment, specifically for intangible assets, and as a result failed to develop appropriate control activities to adequately respond to the triggering events identified.

The Company believes implementation of these processes and appropriate testing of their effectiveness will remediate this material weakness.2021.
