EXPLANATORY NOTE

As previously disclosed on Cancer Genetics, Inc.’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2020, the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”) was delayed due to circumstances related to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and its impact on the Company’s operations. In particular, COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in critical personnel’s transportation and limited access to the Company’s facilities in Rutherford, New Jersey (just outside of Manhattan) negatively impacting the ability of its staff and professional advisors to perform their various functions. This has, in turn, delayed the Company’s ability to complete its audit and prepare the 2019 Annual Report. The Company relied on the SEC’s Order Under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions From the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies, dated March 4, 2020 and amended March 25, 2020 (Release Nos. 34-88318 and 34-88465), to delay the filing of the 2019 Annual Report.

PART I
Summary of Risk Factors

Our business is subject to a number of risks, as fully described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Annual Report. The principal factors and uncertainties include, among others:
We may not realize the expected benefits of our merger with StemoniX, Inc. (“StemoniX”);

The total number of shares of CGI Common Stock that StemoniX security holders will be entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in the aggregate, is not fully adjustable based on the market price of CGI common stock, so the merger consideration at the closing may have a greater value than at the time the Merger Agreement was signed;

The post-merger company will need to raise additional capital by issuing securities or debt or through licensing arrangements, which may cause dilution to the post-merger company’s stockholders or restrict the post-merger company’s operations or proprietary rights. CGI and StemoniX have recurring losses from operations which in the past have raised substantial doubt regarding their respective abilities to continue as a going concern;

The merger may be completed even though material adverse changes may result from the announcement of the merger, industry-wide changes or other causes;

The lack of a public market for StemoniX shares makes it difficult to determine the fair market value of the StemoniX shares, and CGI may pay more than the fair market value of the StemoniX shares;

If the conditions to the merger are not met, the merger may not occur;

The COVID-19 (also referred to as novel coronavirus) outbreak, which has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, has significantly and negatively impacted financial markets and economic conditions in the United States and globally. As a result, CGI’s operations have been, and may be further, negatively impacted;

CGI is the target, and may in the future be the target, of securities class action and derivative lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the completion of the merger;

If the Company is unable to increase sales, the Company revenues will be insufficient to achieve profitability;

The potential loss or delay of the Company’s large contracts or of multiple contracts could adversely affect results;

The Company’s financial results may be adversely affected if it underprices contracts, overruns cost estimates or fails to receive approval for or experience delays in documenting change orders;

There is a scarcity of experienced professionals in the Company’s industry. If the Company is not able to retain and recruit personnel with the requisite technical skills, the Company may be unable to successfully execute the business strategy;

CGI’s business operations are more limited than prior to the sale of its Clinical Services business and the sale of its BioPharma Services business, and thus the costs of maintaining itself as a publicly traded corporation are proportionally higher as a percentage of total revenue and will be more burdensome to CGI going forward. If CGI is unable to increase sales, CGI’s revenues will be insufficient to achieve profitability;

If CGI fails to perform the services in accordance with contractual requirements, regulatory standards and ethical considerations, CGI could be subject to significant costs or liability and CGI’s reputation could be harmed. A small number of customers account for most of the sales of CGI’s services. If any of these customers require fewer services from CGI for any reason, revenues could decline;

If the Company’s laboratory facilities become damaged or inoperable, or the Company is required to vacate any facility, the ability to provide services may be jeopardized;

The Company depends on information technology and telecommunications systems, and any failure of these systems could harm the Company’s business; and

The Company offers preclinical services such as predictive tumor models, human orthotopic xenografts and syngeneic immuno-oncology relevant tumor models in its Hershey, PA facility, and is a leader in the field of immuno-oncology preclinical services in the United States. This service is supplemented with GLP toxicology and extended bioanalytical services in the Company'sCompany’s Australian-based facilities in Clayton, VIC,Victoria, and Gilles Plains, SASouth Australia (effective in February 2020).


Our business is based on demand for preclinical and discovery services from biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, academia and the research community. Biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies engaged in designing and running clinical trials to determine the safety and effectiveness of treatments and therapeutics continuously benefit from our services. In particular our preclinical development of biomarker detection methods, response to immuno-oncology directed novel treatments and early prediction of clinical outcome is supported by our extended portfolio of orthotopic, xenografts and syngeneic tumor test systems as a specialized service offering in the immuno-oncology space.

vivoPharm has developed industry recognized capabilities in early phase development and discovery, especially in immuno-oncology models, tumor micro-environment studies, and specialized pharmacology services that support basic discovery, preclinical and phase 1 clinical trials. vivoPharm’s studies have been utilized to support over 250 IND submissions to date across a range of therapeutic indications, including lymphomas, leukemia, GI-cancers, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and other non-cancer rare diseases. vivoPharm is presently serving over 50 biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies across four continents in over 100 studies and trials with highly specialized development, clinical and preclinical research. Over the past 17 years, vivoPharm has also generated an extensive library of human xenograft and syngeneic tumor models, including subcutaneous, orthotopic and metastatic models. vivoPharm offers its expertise in small and bio-molecules.

The Company continues to leverage vivoPharm’s international presence to access global market opportunities. vivoPharm’s headquarters in Australia specializes in safety and toxicology studies, including mammalian, genetic and in vitro, along with bioanalytical services including immune-analytical capabilities.

The third location, in Munich, Germany, hosts project management and business development personnel.

Pending Merger with StemoniX

The Company, CGI Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CGI (“Merger Sub”), and StemoniX, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“StemoniX”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge (the “merger”) with and into StemoniX, with StemoniX surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CGI following the merger. It is expected that the shareholders of StemoniX will become the majority owners of CGI’s outstanding common stock upon the closing of the merger. The Company has filed an effective registration statement on Form S-4, as amended, dated February 12, 2021, as supplemented by a proxy supplement filed on February 26, 2021, describing StemoniX and the terms of the Merger Agreement. The merger with StemoniX is subject to certain closing conditions including listing by Nasdaq, and no assurance can be given that the closing conditions will be satisfied or that the merger with StemoniX will occur.

StemoniX develops and manufactures human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) based neural, cardiac and pancreatic screening platforms for drug discovery and development. Engineered from human skin and blood cells, iPSCs are made with in-licensed patented processes discovered by 2012 Nobel Prize recipient Dr. Shinya Yamanaka. StemoniX’s iPSC innovations are made from living human cells and have organ-like, or organoid, characteristics; referred to as microOrgans®. StemoniX has industrialized these microOrgans into standard multi-well plate formats that are sufficiently robust and reproducible to enable drug screening and optimization activities.

StemoniX combines its microOrgan platform with software analytics and augmented intelligence, referred to as AnalytiX™. StemoniX’s integrated approach provides a compelling value proposition to pharmaceutical companies and other entities because StemoniX enables standardized, high-throughput screening of drug candidates on complex human organoids prior to human clinical studies, mitigating or in some cases avoiding the inadequacies of testing in clonal cell lines or rodents. StemoniX and its customers and collaborators believe that StemoniX’s technologies will permit drug discovery in human disease areas that are difficult to address using current methodologies, accelerate preclinical drug discovery and development, reduce risk of clinical failure, predict with greater degrees of confidence and ultimately, reduce the cost of discovering new therapeutic agents.

StemoniX’s business model combines both collaborations with integrated pharmaceutical companies on the derivation and subsequent supply of iPSC-based disease models and screens, and internal drug discovery efforts to identify drug candidates for licensure or clinical development. In StemoniX’s disease model effort, StemoniX creates novel models per the specifications of its partners, then either sells microOrgan plates to them or performs Discovery as a Service (“DaaS”) on their behalf in its facilities. StemoniX strives to receive a mixture of upfront payments, including licensing fees, milestone-based fees, and ongoing royalty payments in addition to any charges for microOrgan plates and services. While the revenue from StemoniX’s disease model and screening activities represents an important component of its business, StemoniX’s long-term strategy is to leverage its iPSC technology to pursue partnered and wholly-owned drug discovery projects that yield higher value assets. In its current drug discovery efforts, StemoniX typically collaborates with a partner by pooling its expertise in iPSC biology and screening analytics with the partner’s medicinal chemistry capabilities.

StemoniX was incorporated in 2014 in Minnesota with headquarters in Maple Grove, Minnesota, and a research and development team located in La Jolla, California. StemoniX focuses on new iPSC differential protocols, plating procedures, and expansion techniques. StemoniX’s Maple Grove manufacturing facility focuses on the growth, differentiation, plating, and shipping of its microOrgan platforms in a highly standardized and rigorous process. The Maple Grove facility includes clean-room and biohazard safe environments to house its incubators, biological safety cabinets, liquid handling machines, refrigerators, and office space. Both facilities also have diagnostic equipment for quality control and assurance. The majority of StemoniX’s DaaS revenue is generated from its Maple Grove facility.

StemoniX is a development stage company, and it had net losses of $8.7 million (unaudited) and $9.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Historical Business and Key Strategic Divestitures


The Company was founded in 1999 to conduct critical research and development of innovative diagnostic tests for the benefit of helping physicians treat complicated cancer cases for patients with blood-borne disease. Upon becoming a publicly-traded company through an initial public offering in 2013, the Company completed a series of acquisitions which expanded the footprint of the business globally, and enlarged the Company'sCompany’s capabilities to offer unique diagnostic tests and services to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and extended the Company'sCompany’s development and patient care expertise to solid tumor cancers. Until the consummation of the Business Disposals (as defined below) in July 2019, the Company was an emerging leader infocused on enabling precision medicine in oncology by providing multi-disciplinary diagnostic and data solutions, facilitating individualized therapies through the Company'sCompany’s diagnostic tests, services and molecular markers.


The Company utilized relatively the same proprietary and nonproprietary diagnostic tests, laboratory developed tests (LDTs) and technologies across all of its service offerings to deliver results-oriented information important to cancer treatment and patient management.

HPV-Associated Cancers

HPV-associated cancers, including cervical, anal, and head and neck cancers, are caused by infection with high-risk variants of human papillomavirus (HPV), and are responsible for approximately 4% of all cancer diagnoses worldwide. Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women. According to the National Institutes of Health, while there are more than 100 types of HPV, approximately 15 types are considered to be cancer-causing, with only 2 strains being responsible for 70% of cervical cancer cases worldwide. Cervical cancer may be detected by traditional methods, including Pap smears and liquid cytology, where cervical cells obtained by Pap smear are observed by a pathologist, or by HPV typing, which identifies the strain of HPV virus presently infecting the patient. Neither of these techniques is able to identify the likelihood of the HPV-infection’s developing into cancerous or precancerous lesions. According to the National Cancer Institute, about 50 million Pap smear tests to detect HPV are performed in the United States each year. It is estimated that approximately 2 million patients have abnormal Pap smear test results and are referred for biopsy/colposcopy as a result of such tests. However, only approximately 12,000 of these patients will develop cervical cancer. It is believed that early detection of HPV-associated cancers and lesions most likely to progress to cancer could eliminate unnecessary biopsies/colposcopies and thereby reduce health care costs.

Solid Tissue Cancers


The term “solid tumors” encompasses abnormal masses of cells that do not include fluid areas (e.g. blood) or cysts. Solid tumors are composed of abnormal cell growths that originate in organs or soft tissue and are normally named after the types of cells that form them. Examples of solid tumors include breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer and melanoma. Solid tumors may be benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may spread from their primary tissue of origin to other locations in the body (metastasis). There are over 200 individual chemotherapeutic drugs available for combating solid tumor cancers. Selection of an appropriate course of treatment for a patient may depend on identification of the gene mutation or mutations present in their particular cancer and on determining the cancer’s tissue of origin. Metastatic tumors with an uncertain primary site can be a difficult clinical problem. In tens of thousands of oncology patients every year, no confident diagnosis is ever issued, making standard-of-care treatment impossible.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company acquired the TOO® test through its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Response Genetics, Inc.


Tissue of Origin® Test. The Company continues to own and maintain its FDA-cleared Tissue of Origin® test, or TOO®, a gene expression test that is indicated when there is clinical uncertainty about a poorly differentiated or undifferentiated, or a metastatic tumor where the primary tissue of cancer development is unknown. The Tissue of Origin® test the Company believes is currently the only FDA-cleared test of its kind on the market, and can determine the most likely tissue of origin of a patient tumor sample from the fifteen most common tumor types - including thyroid, breast, pancreas, colon, ovarian and prostate - which account for ninety percent of all incidences of solid tissue tumors, by measuring the expression levels of 2,000 individual genes. TOO® is supported by extensive analytical and clinical validation data from robust, multi-center clinical studies. The Company believes TOO® can reduce the need for repeated testing, examinations, imaging and biopsy procedures by providing clinicians with the primary tissue type with greater certainty than traditional diagnostic techniques. This in turn empowers physicians to select the correct type of treatment earlier in the course of the patient’s therapy. The Company is holding the patent for sale.

Furthermore, the Company'sCompany’s early-stage discovery work, which is not subject to GLP standards, is typically carried out under a quality management system or internally developed quality systems. The Company'sCompany’s facilities are regularly inspected by U.S. and other regulatory compliance monitoring authorities, its clients'clients’ quality assurance departments, and its own internal quality assessment program. The Company is also accredited by AAALAC International, a private, nonprofit organization that promotes the humane treatment of animals in science through voluntary accreditation and assessment programs. The Company volunteers to participate in the AAALAC’s program to demonstrate its commitment to responsible animal care and use, in addition to its compliance with local, state and federal laws that regulate animal research.

FDA


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulates the sale or distribution, in interstate commerce, of medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), including in vitro diagnostic test kits, reagents and instruments used to perform diagnostic testing. Certain of such devices must undergo premarket review by FDA prior to commercialization unless the device is of a type exempted from such review by statute or pursuant to FDA’s exercise of enforcement discretion. FDA, to date, has not exercised its authority to actively regulate the development and use of LDTs, such as the Company's,Company’s, as medical devices and therefore the Company does not believe that its LDTs currently require premarket clearance or approval.


Post-market Regulation


The Company's Tissue of Origin® test obtained clearance under section 510(k) of the FDCA. After a device, such as its Tissue of Origin® test, is cleared or approved for marketing, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply once the test is marketed, including FDA’s current good manufacturing practice requirements. Since the Company does not offer its FDA-approved product in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) the Company is not currently subject to post-market regulation in the EEA or any member state. The FDA has broad regulatory compliance and enforcement powers. If the FDA determines that a company has failed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it can take a variety of compliance or enforcement actions, which may result in any of the following sanctions:


warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;


recalls, withdrawals, or administrative detention or seizure of products;


operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;


refusing or delaying requests for 510(k) marketing clearance or PMA approvals of new products or modified products;


reconsideration of 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals that have already been granted;


refusal to grant export approvals for products; and/or


criminal prosecution.



In addition, FDA could publicly issue a safety notice related to the Company's test or request updates to its product labeling, including the addition of warnings, precautions, or contraindications.


Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH Act”)


Under the administrative simplification provisions of HIPAA, as amended by the HITECH Act, the United States Department of Health and Human Services has issued regulations which establish uniform standards governing the conduct of certain electronic health care transactions and protecting the privacy and security of Protected Health Information used or disclosed by health care providers and other covered entities. For further discussion of HIPAA and the impact on the Company's business, see the section entitled “Risk Factors-Risks Related to its Business-The Company is required to comply with laws governing the transmission, security and privacy of health information that require significant compliance costs, and any failure to comply with these laws could result in material criminal and civil penalties.”


European General Data Protection Regulation


The collection and use of personal health data in the European Union had previously been governed by the provisions of the Data Protection Directive, which has been replaced by the General Data Protection Regulation (“GRPR”) which became effective on May 25, 2018 While the Data Protection Directive did not apply to organizations based outside the EU, the GDPR has expanded its reach to include any business, regardless of its location, that provides goods or services to residents in the EU. This expansion would incorporate the Company's clinical trial activities in EU members states. The GDPR imposes strict requirements on controllers and processors of personal data, including special protections for “sensitive information” which includes health and genetic information of data subjects residing in the EU. GDPR grants individuals the opportunity to object to the processing of their personal information, allows them to request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances, and provides the individual with an express right to seek legal remedies in the event the individual believes his or her rights have been violated. Further, the GDPR imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data out of the European
14

Union to the United States or other regions that have not been deemed to offer “adequate” privacy protections. Failure to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and the related national data protection laws of the European Union Member States, which may deviate slightly from the GDPR, may result in fines of up to 4% of global revenues, or € 20,000,000, whichever is greater. As a result of the implementation of the GDPR, the Company may be required to put in place additional mechanisms ensuring compliance with the new data protection rules.


The Company's research activities in the EU are currently limited to non-human preclinical studies, and as such, the Company does not collect, store, maintain, process, or transmit any Personal Data (as that term is defined under the GDPR) of trial subjects. However, since the Company currently has three employees located in the EU, its processing and transfer for employee Personal Data is subject to GDPR requirements. The Company has implemented a privacy and security program that is designed to adhere to the requirements of the GDPR in order to protect employee Personal Data, and in the event the Company progresses to research or clinical trials involving humans, to protect participant Personal Data. However, there is significant uncertainty related to the manner in which data protection authorities will seek to enforce compliance with GDPR. For example, it is not clear if the authorities will conduct random audits of companies doing business in the EU, or if the authorities will wait for complaints to be filed by individuals who claim their rights have been violated. Enforcement uncertainty and the costs associated with ensuring GDPR compliance be onerous and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. As a result, the Company cannot predict the impact of the GDPR regulations on its current or future business, either in the US or the EU.


Federal, State and Foreign Fraud and Abuse Laws


The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration to induce or in return for purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging for the purchase, lease or order of any health care item or service reimbursable under a governmental payor program. The definition of “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value, including gifts, discounts, credit arrangements, payments of cash, waivers of co-payments, ownership interests and providing anything at less than its fair market value. Recognizing that the Anti-Kickback Statute is broad and may technically prohibit many innocuous or beneficial arrangements within the health care industry, the Department of Health and Human Services has issued a series of regulatory “safe harbors.” These safe harbor regulations set forth certain provisions, which, if met, will assure health care providers and other parties that they will not be prosecuted under the federal Anti- Kickback Statute. Although full compliance with these provisions ensures against prosecution under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the failure of a transaction or arrangement to fit within a specific safe harbor does not necessarily mean that the transaction or arrangement is illegal or that prosecution under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute will be pursued. For further discussion of the impact of federal and state health care fraud and abuse laws and regulations on the Company'sCompany’s business, see the section entitled “Risk ."

Factors-Risks Related to its Business-The Company is subject to federal and state health care fraud and abuse laws and regulations and could face substantial penalties if the Company is unable to fully comply with such laws.”

In addition to the administrative simplification regulations discussed above, HIPAA also created two new federal crimes: health care fraud and false statements relating to health care matters. The health care fraud statute prohibits knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program, including private payors. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment or exclusion from governmental payor programs such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The false statements statute prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items or services. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment or exclusion from governmental payor programs.

Finally, another development affecting the health care industry is the increased enforcement of the federal False Claims Actand, in particular, actions brought pursuant to the False Claims Act’s “whistleblower” or “qui tam” provisions. The False Claims Act imposes liability on any person or entity that, among other things, knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment by a federal governmental payor program. The qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act allow a private individual to bring actions on behalf of the federal government alleging that the defendant has defrauded the federal government by submitting a false claim to the federal government and permit such individuals to share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. In addition, various states have enacted false claim laws analogous to the federal False Claims Act, although many of these state laws apply where a claim is submitted to any third-party payor and not merely a governmental payor program. When an entity is determined to have violated the False Claims Act, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus civil penalties ranging from approximately $11 thousand to $22 thousand for each false claim violation that occurred after January 15, 2018. (Those whose false claims violations that occurred before January 15, 2018 could be liable for treble damages plus lower civil monetary penalties.)


Additionally, in Europe various countries have adopted anti-bribery laws providing for severe consequences, in the form of criminal penalties and/or significant fines, for individuals and/or companies committing a bribery offense. Violations of these anti-bribery laws, or allegations of such violations, could have a negative impact on the Company'sCompany’s business, results of operations and reputation. For instance, in the United Kingdom, under the new Bribery Act 2010, which went into effect in July 2011, a bribery occurs when a person offers, gives or promises to give a financial or other advantage to induce or reward another individual to improperly perform certain functions or activities, including any function of a public nature. Bribery of foreign public officials also falls within the scope of the Bribery Act 2010. Under the new regime, an individual found in violation of the Bribery Act of 2010 faces imprisonment of up to 10 years. In addition, the individual can be subject to an unlimited fine, as can commercial organizations for failure to prevent bribery.

Corporate Practice of Medicine

Approximately thirty (30) states have enacted laws prohibiting business corporations, such as the Company, from practicing medicine and employing or engaging physicians to practice medicine, generally referred to as the prohibition against the corporate practice of medicine. These laws, which vary among the states that have enacted them, are designed to prevent interference in the medical decision-making process by anyone who is not a licensed physician. Violation of these laws may result in civil or criminal fines, as well as sanctions imposed against the Company and/or the professional through licensure proceedings.


Other Regulatory Requirements


The Company'sCompany’s laboratory is subject to federal, state and local regulations relating to the handling and disposal of regulated medical waste, hazardous waste and biohazardous waste, including chemical, biological agents and compounds, blood and bone marrow samples and other human tissue. Typically, the Company uses outside vendors who are contractually obligated to comply with applicable laws and regulations to dispose of such waste. These vendors are licensed or otherwise qualified to handle and dispose of such waste.


OSHA has established extensive requirements relating to workplace safety for health care employers, including requirements to develop and implement programs to protect workers from exposure to blood-borne pathogens by preventing or minimizing any exposure through needle stick or similar penetrating injuries.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.


An investment in the Company's common stock involves a high degree of risk including the risk of a loss of your entire investment. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information contained in this report and the other Company reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For instance, if our pending merger with StemoniX occurs, there are risks associated with the StemoniX business described in our prospectus/proxy statement included in our Form S-4/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2021. The risks set forth below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties may exist that could also adversely affect the Company's business, operations and financial condition. If any of the following risks actually materialize, the Company's business, financial condition and/or operations could suffer. In such event, the value of the Company's common stock could decline, and you could lose all or a substantial portion of the money that you pay for the Company's common stock.


Risks Related to the StemoniX Merger and the Post-Merger Company

We may not realize the expected benefits of our merger with StemoniX

While we anticipate certain benefits from our pending merger with StemoniX, if consummated, we may not be able to realize the expected benefits. We may not be able to integrate the two businesses successfully, and we could assume unknown or contingent liabilities. The StemoniX intellectual property may not have the scientific value and commercial potential which we envision. Any failure of the acquisition to meet our expectations could have a material negative effect on our results of operations.

The total number of shares of CGI Common Stock that StemoniX securityholders will be entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in the aggregate, is not fully adjustable based on the market price of CGI common stock, so the merger consideration at the closing may have a greater value than at the time the Merger Agreement was signed.

The Merger Agreement has set the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for the StemoniX Common Stock, which governs most but not all of the consideration to be paid by CGI in the merger, and the Exchange Ratio is only adjustable upward or downward based on (i) increases or decreases in the number of shares of StemoniX’s issued and outstanding capital stock and the number of shares of StemoniX capital stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of other StemoniX securities, (ii) increases or decreases in the number of shares of CGI’s issued and outstanding capital stock and the number of shares of CGI capital stock issuable on a net exercise basis under in-the-money CGI warrants and in-the-money CGI options (in each case excluding securities issued in the CGI PIPE (as defined below) and (iii) if the net cash of either CGI or StemoniX changes in relation to each other. Any changes in the market price of CGI common stock before the closing of the merger will have limited effect on the total number of shares of CGI common stock that most historical StemoniX security holders will be entitled to receive (or will be entitled to receive upon the exercise of options to purchase CGI common stock issued in exchange for StemoniX options). Therefore, if before the closing of the merger the market price of CGI common stock increases from the market price on the date of the Merger Agreement, then such StemoniX shareholders could receive merger consideration with substantially more value.

The amount of CGI Common Stock to be issued to the Series C Investors upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock in the merger is based on the market price per share of CGI Common Stock at the closing of the Merger, subject to a valuation cap.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of StemoniX Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”) will be converted in the merger into the right to receive a number of shares of CGI common stock (the “Series C Conversion Shares”) equal to the price per share paid for the Series C Preferred Stock divided by a conversion price (the “Series C Conversion Price”) equal to 85% of the weighted average share price of CGI common stock over the five trading days prior to the closing of the merger, which conversion price is subject to a valuation cap (the “Series C Valuation Cap”) based on a $85,000,000 valuation of CGI, after giving effect to the issuance of all shares of CGI common stock at or prior to the closing of the merger (excluding the Series C Conversion Shares and out-of-the-money options and warrants to purchase shares of CGI Common Stock, but including in-the-money options and warrants to purchase shares of CGI common stock on a net exercise basis). Therefore, if before the closing of the merger the market price of CGI common stock declines, then the Series C investors could receive more shares of CGI common stock at closing for no additional consideration, resulting in additional dilution to the other equity holders of the post-merger company. Alternatively, if the market price of CGI common stock increases to a level representing a valuation at or above the Series C Valuation Cap, the Series C Conversion Price will only increase up to a price based on the Series C Valuation Cap, and the other stockholders of CGI will suffer dilution. As of February 1, 2021, the Series C Valuation Cap would be reached if CGI’s stock prices resulted in a 5 day value weighted average price of CGI’s common stock of $4.39 or
17

more. There is expected to be an aggregate of $2 million of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger.

The post-merger company may need to raise additional capital by issuing securities or debt or through licensing arrangements, which may cause dilution to the post-merger company’s stockholders or restrict the post-merger company’s operations or proprietary rights. CGI and StemoniX have recurring losses from operations which in the past have raised substantial doubt regarding their respective abilities to continue as a going concern.

Although management of CGI and StemoniX believe that, assuming the merger and the transactions related thereto are consummated, the post-merger company’s cash reserves and cash flows from operations will be adequate to fund operations for at least the 12 months from the closing of the merger, such estimate may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Accordingly, the post-merger company may be required to raise funds sooner than currently planned.

The post-merger company’s ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon (among other things) the availability and terms of future funding. Additional financing may not be available to the post-merger company when it needs it or may not be available on favorable terms. To the extent that the post-merger company raises additional capital by issuing equity securities, such an issuance may cause significant dilution to the post-merger company’s stockholders’ ownership and the terms of any new equity securities may have preferences over the post-merger company’s common stock. Any debt financing the post-merger company enters into may involve covenants that restrict its operations. These restrictive covenants may include limitations on additional borrowing and specific restrictions on the use of the post-merger company’s assets, as well as prohibitions on its ability to create liens, pay dividends, redeem its stock or make investments. In addition, if the post-merger company raises additional funds through licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to the post-merger company.

Failure to complete the merger may result in CGI or StemoniX paying an expense reimbursement to the other party and could harm the common stock price of CGI and future business and operations of each company.

If the merger is not completed, CGI and StemoniX are subject to the following risks:

if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances and certain events occur, CGI or StemoniX will be required to pay the other party an amount equal to all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by such other party in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Merger Agreement, due diligence efforts by the party or otherwise in connection with the merger; provided, however, that the amount payable may be up to and will in no event exceed $500,000;

the price of CGI stock may decline; and

costs related to the merger, such as legal, accounting and investment banking fees must be paid even if the merger is not completed.

In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated and the CGI or StemoniX board of directors determines to seek another business combination, there can be no assurance that CGI or StemoniX will be able to find a partner willing to provide equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration to be provided by each party in the merger.

If the conditions to the merger are not met, the merger may not occur.

There are a number of conditions to the merger, including but not limited to approval by Nasdaq for listing of the shares, and certain other conditions. We cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the merger may not occur or will be delayed, and CGI may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the merger.

CGI is the target, and may in the future be the target, of securities class action and derivative lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the completion of the merger.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into merger agreements in an effort to enjoin the relevant merger or seek monetary relief. CGI is currently the defendant in eight lawsuits, and CGI may in the future be defendants in one or more lawsuits, relating to the Merger Agreement and the merger and, even if the pending or any future lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert
18

management time and resources. CGI cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, or others, nor can it predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve such litigation. An unfavorable resolution of any such litigation surrounding the merger could delay or prevent its consummation. In addition, the costs of defending the litigation, even if resolved in CGI’s favor, could be substantial and such litigation could distract CGI from pursuing the consummation of the merger and other potentially beneficial business opportunities.

No fairness opinion was obtained in connection with the merger.

While CGI engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) as its exclusive financial advisor with respect to considering strategic alternatives including finding a merger partner, neither Wainwright nor any other independent investment banker or other professional was requested to provide a fairness opinion in connection with the merger. The consideration to be received by the holders of StemoniX securities in the merger was reached through negotiation by CGI and Wainwright, on one hand, and StemoniX and Northland Securities (“Northland”), its investment banker, on the other, and was found to be fair to the stockholders of CGI by CGI’s board of directors. In determining whether to obtain a fairness opinion in connection with consideration of the merger, CGI’s board considered the cost of such an opinion as well as, among other factors, the search process leading to the Business Disposals (as defined elsewhere herein), the extensive search process conducted by CGI and Wainwright thereafter seeking a merger partner or other strategic alternative for CGI, the absence of any offers to purchase vivoPharm for other than a nominal sum, the extensive negotiations with StemoniX by CGI and Wainwright, the board’s assessment of the prospects for StemoniX based on its evaluation of its medical and scientific intellectual property and the valuation of StemoniX implicit in its prior financings, when compared to and in light of CGI’s current market value and its financial position.

The merger may be completed even though material adverse changes may result from the announcement of the merger, industry-wide changes or other causes.

In general, either CGI or StemoniX can refuse to complete the merger if there is a material adverse change affecting the other party prior to closing. However, certain types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to complete the merger, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on CGI or StemoniX, including:

any adverse effect that results from general economic, business, financial or market conditions (unless such adverse effect affects CGI or StemoniX in a disproportionate manner as compared to their respective industry peers);

any adverse effect that results from conditions in any of the industries or industry sectors in which CGI or StemoniX operates (unless such adverse effect affects CGI or StemoniX in a disproportionate manner as compared to their respective industry peers);

any adverse effect resulting from any epidemic, pandemic or disease outbreak (including COVID-19), act of terrorism, war, national or international calamity or any other similar event (unless such adverse effect affects CGI or StemoniX in a disproportionate manner as compared to their respective industry peers);

the taking of any action required to be taken by the Merger Agreement; or

with respect to CGI, any change in the stock price or trading volume of CGI Common Stock.

If adverse changes occur and CGI and StemoniX still complete the merger, the post-merger company stock price may suffer. This in turn may reduce the value of the merger to the stockholders of CGI.

The market price of the post-merger company’s common stock following the merger may decline as a result of the merger.

The market price of the post-merger company’s common stock may decline as a result of the merger for a number of reasons including if:

investors react negatively to the prospects of the post-merger company’s business and prospects from the merger;

the effect of the merger on the post-merger company’s business and prospects is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts; or

the post-merger company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the merger as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts.
19


CGI stockholders may not realize a benefit from the merger commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the merger.

If the post-merger company is unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the merger, CGI securityholders will have experienced substantial dilution of their ownership interests in CGI without receiving any commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the extent the post-merger company is able to realize only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the merger.

The lack of a public market for StemoniX shares makes it difficult to determine the fair market value of the StemoniX shares, and StemoniX shareholders may receive consideration in the merger that is less than the fair market value of the StemoniX shares and/or CGI may pay more than the fair market value of the StemoniX shares.

StemoniX is privately held and its capital stock is not traded in any public market. The lack of a public market makes it extremely difficult to determine StemoniX’s fair market value. Because the percentage of CGI equity to be issued to StemoniX stockholders was determined based on negotiations between the parties, it is possible that the value of the CGI Common Stock to be received by StemoniX shareholders will be less than the fair market value of StemoniX, or CGI may pay more than the aggregate fair market value for StemoniX.

The pendency of the merger could have an adverse effect on the trading price of CGI Common Stock and CGI’s business, financial condition, results of operations or business prospects.

While there have been no significant adverse effects to date, the pendency of the merger could disrupt CGI’s businesses in the following ways, including:

the attention of CGI’s management may be directed toward the closing of the merger and related matters and may be diverted from the day-to-day business operations; and

third parties may seek to terminate or renegotiate their relationships with CGI as a result of the merger, whether pursuant to the terms of their existing agreements with CGI or otherwise.

Should they occur, any of these matters could adversely affect the trading price of CGI Common Stock or harm CGI’s financial condition, results of operations or business prospects.

Risks Relating to the Company'sCompany’s Financial Condition and Capital Requirements


The Company has a history of net losses; the Company expects to incur net losses in the future, and the Company may never achieve sustained profitability.


The Company has historically incurred substantial net losses. The Company incurred losses of $8.0 million and $6.7 million and $20.4 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. From the Company'sCompany’s inception in April 1999 through December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $164.4$172 million. The Company expects losses to continue, only to the extent that the business does not outpace the public company-related expenses, such as legal and audit fees and director’s and officer’s liability insurance, and the potential for ongoing losses associated with operating the Discovery Services business.continue. These losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on working capital, total assets and stockholders’ equity. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the Company'sCompany’s revenue growth and costs associated with being a public company, the Company is unable to predict when the Company will become profitable, and the Company may never become profitable. Even if the Company does achieve profitability, the Company may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. The Company'sCompany’s inability to achieve and then maintain profitability would negatively affect business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.


The Company'sPrior to the closingof the CGI PIPE and CGI RD Financing, the Company’s recurring losses from operations have raised substantial doubt regarding the Company'sCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern.


At December 31, 2019, the Company's history of losses required management to assessThe Company believes that its ability to continue operating as a going concern, according to ASC 205-40, Going Concern. Even after the Business Disposals, the Company does not project that cash at December 31, 20192020, together with net proceeds of (i) $8.9 million from the issuance and sale of CGI securities in the CGI PIPE (ii) $15.8 million from the issuance and sale of CGI securities in the CGI RD Financing (as defined below), and (iii) $4.0 million from three warrant exercises between February 10, 2021 and March 23, 2021, will be sufficient to fund normal operations for the twelve24 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements inthis filing.

Nevertheless, the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on reduced losses and improved future cash flows. Alternatively, the Company may be required to raise additional equity or debt capital, or consummate other strategic transactions. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company can provide no assurance that, these actionsgiven its history of losses, it will be successful or that additional sources of financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

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

20

The Company's ability to satisfy claims of all its creditors in full is uncertain.

While in connection with the closing of the BioPharma Disposal, the SVB ABL and the PFG Term Note were terminated, and all related liens were released, the Company remains liable to various unsecured creditors, including in the amount of $100 thousand due to NovellusDx, Ltd. (“NDX”) as of the date of this Form 10-K, in connection with its October 2019 NDX Settlement Agreement, and the principal amount of $1.3 million, plus interest due to Atlas Sciences, LLC pursuant to its one-year October 2019 unsecured note. At December 31, 2019, other than those of discontinuing operations, the Company had an aggregate of $5.7 million of current liabilities and $6.3 million in total liabilities. This is compared to current assets other than those of discontinuing operations of $7.1 million, as of December 31, 2019. However, at December 31, 2019, the Company has an additional $1.2 million of liabilities associated with discontinuing operations that will be funded primarily from the Company's continuing operations. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to pay such unsecured creditors in full or that claims will not be asserted in addition to the amounts which the Company believes it is liable for at this time.


The Company’s additional sources of funds are uncertain.



The Company has three sources of potential cash receipts following the Business Disposals, with only the third, the proceedsearns revenue and generates cashflow from the Discovery Business, being material. First, as part of the sale of the Clinical Business to siParadigm, the Company is receiving earn-out payments based on the revenues of siParadigm from the former customers of the Company’s Clinical Services business. Such earn-out payments are based on revenues generated in the 12 months following the closing of the sale of the Clinical Services business, and are to be paid over 24 months following such sale. While the Company received net payments of approximately $156 thousand from siParadigm in the July through December 2019 period, the monthly payments from siParadigm have decreased since the end of the third quarter of 2019, and no assurances can be given with respect to the amount and timing of any further payments. Second, the Company is attempting to collect on certain accounts receivable it owns that were not sold to siParadigm or IDXG. The net amount of such accounts receivable expected to be collected as of December 31, 2019 was approximately $71 thousand.

Third, the Company continues to own its Discovery Business through its vivoPharmvivoPharm subsidiary. For the twelve monthtwelve-month period ended December 31, 2020, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $8.0 million, cash used in continuing operations of $4.9 million and revenues from the Discovery Services business unit of $5.8 million in the period. For the year period ended December 31, 2019, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $6.9 million, had cash used in continuing operations of $3.2 million and $7.3 million in revenues from the Discovery Business.Services business unit of $7.3 million in the period. No assurances can be given as to whether the Company will ever be profitable,profitable.

The Company’s business operations are more limited than prior to the sale of its Clinical Services business and there are substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continuesale of its BioPharma Services business, and thus the costs of maintaining itself as a publicly traded corporation are proportionally higher as a percentage of total revenue and will be more burdensome to the Company going concern.forward.


As a public company, the Company has incurred and will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the other rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market, or Nasdaq. Compliance with the various reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies requires considerable time and attention of management. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules of the SEC and national securities exchanges have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls. Management and other personnel are devoting and will continue to need to devote a substantial amount of time and money to these compliance obligations. The board may view these costs to be disproportionately expensive when viewed in light of the Company’s reduced revenues and overall operations following the Business Disposals.

As a result of the above, the board of directors elected to pursue the merger transaction with StemoniX and may elect to pursue other strategic transactions, to attempt to expand the business and create additional value for shareholders, or in light of the time, costs and uncertainties inherent in seeking such a strategic transaction, and the costs in remaining as a public company, the Company’s board may decide to pursue a dissolution and liquidation of the Company. If the Company’s board of directors were to approve and recommend, and the Company’s stockholders were to approve, a dissolution and liquidation of the Company, the Company would be required under Delaware corporate law to pay the Company’s outstanding obligations, as well as to make reasonable provision for contingent and unknown obligations, prior to making any distributions in liquidation to the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s commitments and contingent liabilities may include severance obligations related to the recent asset sales. As a result of this requirement, a portion of the Company’s assets may need to be reserved pending the resolution of such obligations. If a dissolution and liquidation were pursued, the board of directors, in consultation with its advisors, would need to evaluate these matters and make a determination about a reasonable amount to reserve. Accordingly, holders of the Company’s common stock could lose all or a significant portion of their investment in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company.

The Company identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. If the Company is not able to remediate the material weakness and otherwise maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, the reliability of its financial reporting, investor confidence in the Company and the value of its common stock could be adversely affected.


As a public company, the Company is required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal controls. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("Section 404"), requires that the Company evaluate and determine the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and provide a management report on internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.


During the fourth quarter of 2019,audit for the 2020 fiscal year, the Company identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to controls overthe Company's accounting for foreign currency exchange rate. As a result, a non-cash adjustment had to be recorded to correct the error identified during the 2019 audit procedures. In addition,potential impairment of intangible assets. This accounting requires the Company identified a material weaknessto record an impairment charge if the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable and is in internal control over financial reporting related to controls over accounting forexcess of the fair value of an investment held by the Company. Asasset group. The Company's calculation of undiscounted future cashflows resulted in a result, a non-cash adjustment hadconclusion that no impairment was necessary, however, the Company could not supply supporting evidence that its calculation was accurate.

Management is committed to be recorded to correctremediating the error identified during the 2019 audit procedures.material weakness. The Company has begunbegan the process of implementing changes to its internal control over financial reportingintangible assets to remediate the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weakness, including
21

further improvements in its processes and analyses that support the accounting for foreign currency exchanges.recording of possible impairment of intangible assets. The Company expects this deficiency to be corrected by the end of the second quarter of 2020.May 15, 2021.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company identified a continued material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to controls over accounting for uncollectible Clinical Services revenue. This material weakness in the Company's revenue and cash receipts process continued in 2018 as remediation efforts were not adequate. As a result, additional amounts had to be recorded as bad debt expense for older balances. Based on a change in financial leadership in late November 2018, the Company has demonstrated a commitment to remediate the material weakness in a timely fashion. The Company had noted the need for additional corporate accounting and financial personnel, supplemented by external resources as appropriate, with the requisite skill and technical expertise. This deficiency was ultimately corrected by the disposal of the Clinical Business in July 2019.


If the Company's steps are insufficient to successfully remediate the material weaknesses and otherwise establish and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, the reliability of its financial reporting, investor confidence in the Company and the value of its common stock could be materially and adversely affected. Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for the Company to provide reliable and timely financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to reasonably detect and prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause the Company to fail to meet its reporting obligations. For as long as the Company is a “smaller reporting company” under the U.S. securities laws, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404. An independent assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting could detect problems that management’s assessment might not. Undetected material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting could lead to financial statement restatements and require the Company to incur the expense of remediation.



Moreover, the Company does not expect that disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Failure of its control systems to prevent error or fraud could materially adversely impact the Company.

The Company’s business operations are more limited than prior to the sale of its Clinical Services business and the sale of its BioPharma Services business, and thus the costs of maintaining itself as a publicly traded corporation are proportionally higher as a percentage of total revenue and will be more burdensome to the Company going forward.

As a public company, the Company has incurred and will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the other rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market, or Nasdaq. Compliance with the various reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies requires considerable time and attention of management. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules of the SEC and national securities exchanges have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls. Management and other personnel are devoting and will continue to need to devote a substantial amount of time and money to these compliance obligations. The board may view these costs to be disproportionately expensive when viewed in light of the Company's reduced revenues and overall operations following the Business Disposals.

As a result, the board of directors may elect to pursue a strategic transaction to attempt to expand the business and create additional value for shareholders, or in light of the time, costs and uncertainties inherent in seeking such a strategic transaction, and the costs in remaining as a public company, the Company's board may decide to pursue a dissolution and liquidation of the Company. If the Company's board of directors were to approve and recommend, and the Company's stockholders were to approve, a dissolution and liquidation of the Company, the Company would be required under Delaware corporate law to pay the Company's outstanding obligations, as well as to make reasonable provision for contingent and unknown obligations, prior to making any distributions in liquidation to the Company's stockholders. The Company's commitments and contingent liabilities may include severance obligations related to the recent asset sales.

If a dissolution and liquidation were pursued, the board of directors, in consultation with its advisors, would need to evaluate these matters and make a determination about a reasonable amount to reserve. Accordingly, holders of the Company's common stock could lose all or a significant portion of their investment in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company.

Management may have conflicts of interest.

Current management of the Company, principally its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Company, including planning for the future direction of the Company after the Business Disposals. Such officers may enter into consulting agreements with Buyer (and, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, siParadigm) and have been assisting in the transition of the Clinical Business and BioPharma Business to siParadigm and IDXG, as applicable. It is possible that the dual roles will create conflicts of interest for such officers with respect to allocation of their time and otherwise. No assurance can be given that the officers of the Company will have sufficient time and resources to properly direct the future operations of the Company, or that other conflicts of interest in their dual roles will not arise.


Risks Relating to the Company'sCompany’s Business and Strategy


If the Company is unable to increase sales, the Company revenues will be insufficient to achieve profitability.


The Company currently derives substantially all revenues from testing services, laboratory services and CRO at the premarket stage. Discovery Services are services that include proprietary preclinical test systems supporting clinical diagnostic and prognostic offerings at early stages, supporting the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology companies and academic research centers. In particular, the Company'sCompany’s preclinical development of biomarker detection methods, response to immuno-oncology directed novel treatments and early prediction of clinical outcome is supported by the Company'sCompany’s extended portfolio of orthotopic, xenografts and syngeneic tumor test systems. It is unclear whether the Company will be able to maintain and grow the number of pharmaceutical and biotech companies and clinical research organizations who will avail themselves of the Company'sCompany’s services.


If the Company is unable to increase sales of tests and services, the Company will not produce sufficient revenues to become profitable.



The Company'sCompany’s business is subject to risks arising from epidemic diseases, such as the recent global outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus.COVID-19.


The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a pandemic, has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. A pandemic, including COVID-19 or other public health epidemic, poses the risk that the Company or its employees, contractors, suppliers, courier delivery services and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to spread of the disease within these groups or due to shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the impact that COVID-19 couldhas had and may have on the Company'sCompany’s business, the COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could have an adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s business and financial condition, including impairing the ability to raise capital when needed.condition.


The continued spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by the governments of countries affected could disrupt the supply chain of material needed for the Company'sCompany’s Discovery Services and could delay future projects from commencing due to COVID-19 related impacts on the demand for Company services and therefore have a material adverse effect on business, financial condition and results of operations.


In addition, the Company'sCompany’s corporate and accounting functions are located in New Jersey and are currently subject to a shelter-in-place mandate. The Company's U.S. based preclinical laboratory is located in Pennsylvania and iswere previously subject to a stay-at-home order, and manyare currently subject to social distancing orders and guidelines. The Company’s preclinical laboratories located in the United States were subject to a stay-at-home order until June 2020, and are now subject to social distancing
22

orders, and its Australia laboratories remain subject to stay-at-home orders. Many of the Company’s customers worldwide are similarly impacted. As a healthcare provider, the Company ishas been allowed to remain open in compliance with the shelter-in-place and stay-at-home mandates and continue to provide critical services in the development of new therapies and the fight against cancer.cancer and other diseases. The Company is still providing Discovery Services, and has yetbegan to experience a slowdown in project work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; however,pandemic during the second and third quarters of 2020 and expects the future of many projects may be delayed. The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve, and the extent to which COVID-19 may impact business, results of operations and financial position will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries, business closures or business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease.


Also, it may hamper the Company’s efforts to provide its investors with timely information and comply with its filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If pharmaceutical and biotech companies and clinical research organizations decide not to use the Company'sCompany’s preclinical CRO services in connection with their clinical trials, the Company may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to sustain the Company'sCompany’s business.


To generate demand for the its Discovery Services, the Company needs to educate pharmaceutical and biotech companies and clinical research organizations on the utility of the Company'sCompany’s tests and services to improve the outcomes of clinical trials for new oncology drugs and more rapidly advance targeted therapies through the clinical development process through published papers, presentations at scientific conferences and one-on-one education sessions by members of the Company'sCompany’s sales force. The Company may need to hire additional commercial, scientific, technical and other personnel to support this process. If the Company cannot convince pharmaceutical and biotech companies or clinical research organizations to order its diagnostic tests or other future tests the Company develops, the Company will likely be unable to create demand for tests in sufficient volume for it to achieve sustained profitability.


The potential loss or delay of the Company'sCompany’s large contracts or of multiple contracts could adversely affect results.


Most of the Company'sCompany’s Discovery Services customers can terminate the contracts upon 30 to 90 days’ notice. These customers may delay, terminate or reduce the scope of the contracts for a variety of reasons beyond the Company'sCompany’s control, including but not limited to:


decisions to forego or terminate a particular clinical trial;

lack of available financing, budgetary limits or changing priorities;

failure of products being tested to satisfy safety requirements or efficacy criteria;

unexpected or undesired clinical results for products; or

shift of business to a competitor or internal resources.


As a result, contract terminations, delays and alterations are a possible outcome in the Company'sCompany’s Discovery Services business. In the event of termination, the contracts often provide for fees for winding down the project, but these fees may not be sufficient for the Company to maintain margins, and termination may result in lower resource utilization rates. In addition, the Company may not realize the full benefits of the backlog of contractually committed services if customers cancel, delay or reduce their commitments under the Company'sCompany’s contracts with them, which may occur if, among other things, a customer decides to shift its

business to a competitor or revoke the Company'sCompany’s status as a preferred provider. Thus, the loss or delay of a large contract or the loss or delay of multiple contracts could adversely affect Company revenues and profitability. The Company believes the risk of loss or delay of multiple contracts potentially has greater effect where the Company is party to broader partnering arrangements with global biopharmaceutical companies.


The Company'sCompany’s quarterly operating results may be subject to significant fluctuations and may be difficult to forecast.


The timing, size and duration of the Company'sCompany’s contracts with pharmaceutical and biotech companies and clinical research organizations depend on the size, pace and duration of such customer’s clinical trial, over which the Company has no control and sometimes limited visibility. In addition, expense levels are based, in part, on expectation of future revenue levels. A
23

shortfall in expected revenue could, therefore, result in a disproportionate decrease in the Company'sCompany’s net income. As a result, quarterly operating results may be subject to significant fluctuations and may be difficult to forecast.


If the market for the Company'sCompany’s services does not experience significant growth or if services do not achieve broad acceptance, operations will suffer.


The Company cannot accurately predict the future growth rate or the size of the market for the Company'sCompany’s services. The expansion of this market depends on a number of factors, such as:


the cost, performance and reliability of the Company'sCompany’s services, and the services offered by competitors;


customers'customers’ perceptions regarding the benefits of the Company'sCompany’s services;


customers'customers’ satisfaction with the Company'sCompany’s services; and


marketing efforts and publicity regarding the Company'sCompany’s services.


The Company'sCompany’s financial results may be adversely affected if it underprices contracts, overruns cost estimates or fails to receive approval for or experience delays in documenting change orders.


Most of the Discovery Services contracts are either fee for service contracts or fixed-fee contracts. The Company'sCompany’s past financial results have been, and future financial results may be, adversely impacted if the Company initially underprices contracts or otherwise overrun cost estimates and is unable to successfully negotiate a change order. Change orders can occur when the scope of work the Company performs needs to be modified from that originally contemplated by the contract with the customer and are typically treated as new projects. Modifications can occur, for example, when there is a change in a key clinical trial assumption or parameter or a significant change in timing. Where the Company is not successful in converting out-of-scope work into change orders under current contracts, the Company bears the cost of the additional work. Such underpricing, significant cost overruns or delay in documentation of change orders could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.


If the Company fails to perform the services in accordance with contractual requirements, regulatory standards and ethical considerations, the Company could be subject to significant costs or liability and the Company'sCompany’s reputation could be harmed.


In connection with the Discovery Services business, the Company contracts with biopharmaceutical companies to provide specialized services to assist them in planning and conducting unique, specialized studies to guide drug discovery and development programs with a concentration in oncology and immuno-oncology. The Company'sCompany’s services include monitoring clinicalmanaging pre-clinical trials, data and laboratory analysis, electronic data capture and other related services. Such services are complex and subject to contractual requirements, regulatory standards and ethical considerations. If the Company fails to perform the services in accordance with these requirements, regulatory agencies may take action against the Company for failure to comply with applicable regulations governing clinical trials. Customers may also bring claims against the Company for breach of contractual obligations. Any such action could have a material adverse effect on results of operations, financial condition and reputation.


Such consequences could arise if, among other things, the following occur:


Improper performance of the Company'sCompany’s services. The performance of clinical development services is complex and time-consuming. For example, the Company may make mistakes in conducting a clinical trial that could negatively impact or obviate the usefulness of the clinical trial or cause the results of the clinical trial to be reported improperly. If the clinical trial results are compromised, the Company could be subject to significant costs or liability, which could have an adverse impact on the ability to perform services. As examples:


non-compliance generally could result in the termination of ongoing clinical trials or sales and marketing projects or the disqualification of data for submission to regulatory authorities;


compromise of data from a particular clinical trial, such as failure to verify that informed consent was obtained from patients, could require the Company to repeat the clinical trial under the terms of the contract at no further cost to the customer, but at a substantial cost to the Company; and


24

breach of a contractual term could result in liability for damages or termination of the contract.


While the Company endeavors to contractually limit exposure to such risks, improper performance of the Company'sCompany’s services could have an adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s financial condition, damage reputation and result in the cancellation of current contracts by or failure to obtain future contracts from the affected customer or other customers.


InvestigationAny investigation of customers.our customers could damage our business.

From time to time, one or more of the Company'sCompany’s customers are audited or investigated by regulatory authorities or enforcement agencies with respect to regulatory compliance of their clinical trials, programs or the marketing and sale of their drugs. There is a risk that either the Company'sCompany’s customers or regulatory authorities could claim that the Company performed services improperly or that the Company is responsible for clinical trial or program compliance. If the Company'sCompany’s customers or regulatory authorities make such claims against the Company and prove them, the Company could be subject to damages, fines or penalties. In addition, negative publicity regarding regulatory compliance of customers’ clinical trials, programs or drugs could have an adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s business and reputation.


Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm the Company'sCompany’s development efforts and increase costs and expenses.


Broad-based business or economic disruptions could adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s business and ongoing or planned research and development activities of customers. For example, in December 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businesses around the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which the Company or Company customers operate. The Company cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if the Company or any of its customers, suppliers, regulators and other third parties with whom the Company conducts business, were to experience shutdowns or other business disruptions, the ability to conduct business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materially and negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the healthcare-related facilities in which Company customers conduct studies, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s business and results of operation and financial condition.


If the Company is unable to manage growth in business, prospects may be limited and the Company'sCompany’s future results of operations may be adversely affected.


The Company intends to continue with sales and marketing programs and other activities as needed to meet future demand. Any significant expansion may strain managerial, financial and other resources. If the Company is unable to manage such growth, business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. The Company will need to improve continually the operations, financial and other internal systems to manage growth effectively, and any failure to do so may lead to inefficiencies and redundancies, and result in reduced growth prospects and diminished operational results.


The Company may acquire other businesses or make investments in other companies or technologies that could harm operating results, dilute its stockholders’ ownership, increase debt or cause the Company to incur significant expense.


As part of the Company'sCompany’s business strategy, the Company may pursue other mergers or acquisitions of businesses and assets. For example, the Company has an acquisition of StemoniX pending, and it acquired vivoPharmvivoPharm in 2017, Response Genetics, Inc. in 2015 and Gentris Corporation in 2014, and entered into a joint venture in May 2013 with Mayo Foundation for Education and Research. The Company subsequently shut down Response Genetics operations in California and moved them to New Jersey and North Carolina and in February 2020 completed the commitments thereby ending the need for the Company'sCompany’s joint venture with Mayo. The Company also purchased a business in India in August 2014 which was sold in April 2018. The Company also sold the Clinical Business and BioPharma Business in two transactions in July 2019 (the “Business Disposals”). The Company has developed experience with acquiring other companies and forming strategic alliances and joint ventures. The Company may not be able to find suitable partners or merger or acquisition candidates, and may not be able to complete such transactions on favorable terms, if at all. If the Company makes any acquisitions,

the Company may not be able to integrate these acquisitions successfully into existing business, and could assume unknown or contingent liabilities. Any future acquisitions also could result in significant write-offs or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Integration of an acquired company also may disrupt ongoing operations and require management resources that would otherwise focus on developing existing business. The Company may experience losses related to investments in other companies, which could have a material negative effect on the results of operations. The Company may not
25

identify or complete these transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all, and may not realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, technology license, strategic alliance or joint venture.


To finance any mergers or acquisitions, the Company may choose to issue shares of common stock as consideration, which would dilute the ownership of its stockholders. If the price of the Company'sCompany’s common stock is low or volatile, the Company may not be able to acquire other companies using stock as consideration. Alternatively, it may be necessary for the Company to raise additional funds for acquisitions through public or private financings. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to the Company, or at all.


There is a scarcity of experienced professionals in the Company'sCompany’s industry. If the Company is not able to retain and recruit personnel with the requisite technical skills, the Company may be unable to successfully execute the business strategy.


The specialized nature of the Company'sCompany’s industry results in an inherent scarcity of experienced personnel in the field. The Company'sCompany’s future success depends upon the ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel (including medical, scientific, technical, commercial, business, regulatory and administrative personnel) necessary to support anticipated growth, develop business and perform certain contractual obligations. Given the scarcity of professionals with the scientific knowledge that the Company requires and the competition for qualified personnel among life science businesses, the Company may not succeed in attracting or retaining the personnel required to continue and grow operations. The loss of a key employee, the failure of a key employee to perform in his or her current position or the Company'sCompany’s inability to attract and retain skilled employees could result in the inability to continue to grow the Company'sCompany’s business or to implement business strategy.


The loss or transition of any member of the Company'sCompany’s senior management team or the inability to attract and retain highly skilled scientists, clinicians, and salespeople could adversely affect Company business.


The Company'sCompany’s success depends on the skills, experience, and performance of key members of the senior management team. The individual and collective efforts of these employees will be important as the Company continues to develop tests and services, and as the Company expands commercial activities. The loss or incapacity of existing members of the senior management team could adversely affect operations if the Company experiences difficulties in hiring qualified successors.


The complexity inherent in integrating a new key member of the senior management team with existing senior management may limit the effectiveness of any such successor or otherwise adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s business. Leadership transitions can be inherently difficult to manage and may cause uncertainty or a disruption to business or may increase the likelihood of turnover of other key officers and employees. Specifically, a leadership transition in the commercial team may cause uncertainty about or a disruption to the Company'sCompany’s commercial organization, which may impact the ability to achieve sales and revenue targets.


The Company'sCompany’s inability to attract, hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified sales professionals would hamper the ability to increase demand for the Company'sCompany’s services and to expand geographically.


The Company'sCompany’s success in selling Discovery Services could require the Company to expand the sales force in the United States and internationally by recruiting additional sales representatives with extensive experience in the Company'sCompany’s field. To achieve the Company'sCompany’s marketing and sales goals, the Company will need to continue to expand sales and commercial infrastructure. Sales professionals with the necessary technical and business qualifications are in high demand, and there is a risk that the Company may be unable to attract, hire and retain the number of sales professionals with the right qualifications, scientific backgrounds and relationships with decision-makers at potential customers needed to achieve sales goals. The Company may face competition from other companies in the industry, some of whom are much larger than the Company and who can pay greater compensation and benefits than the Company can, in seeking to attract and retain qualified sales and marketing employees. If the Company is unable to hire and retain qualified sales and marketing personnel, business will suffer.


If the Company'sCompany’s laboratory facilities become damaged or inoperable, or the Company is required to vacate any facility, the ability to provide services may be jeopardized.


The Company currently derives substantially all revenues from preclinical services. The Company'sCompany’s facilities and equipment could be harmed or rendered inoperable by natural or man-made disasters, including fire, flooding and power outages, which may render

it difficult or impossible for the Company to perform tests or provide laboratory services for some period of time. The inability to perform services or the backlog of projects that could develop if any of the Company'sCompany’s facilities is inoperable for even a short period of time may result in the loss of customers or harm to the Company'sCompany’s reputation or relationships with key researchers, collaborators, and customers, and the Company may be unable to regain those customers or repair the Company's
26

Company’s reputation in the future. Furthermore, the Company'sCompany’s facilities and the equipment used to perform research and development work could be costly and time-consuming to repair or replace.


If the Company cannot compete successfully with competitors, the Company may be unable to increase or sustain revenues or achieve and sustain profitability.


The Company faces competition from companies that offer or are developing animal models for tumors and that have capabilities in toxicology and pharmacology testing. The competitors in the Company'sCompany’s Discovery Services business include Covance, Champions Oncology, Crown BioScience (recently acquired by JSR Life Sciences), Eurofins Scientific, Charles River, Jackson Labs and Explora Biolabs.


The Company'sCompany’s competitors may succeed in selling their products to pharmaceutical and biotech customers more effectively than the Company sells products. In addition, academic institutions, hospitals, governmental agencies, and other public and private research organizations also may conduct similar research, seek patent protection, and may develop and commercially introduce competing products or technologies on their own or through joint ventures. If one or more of the Company'sCompany’s competitors succeeds in developing similar technologies and products that are more effective or successful than any of those that the Company currently sells or will develop, results of operations will be significantly adversely affected.


A small number of customers account for most of the sales of the Company'sCompany’s services. If any of these customers require fewer services from the Company for any reason, revenues could decline.


Due to the early stageearly-stage nature of the Company'sCompany’s business and the limited sales and marketing activities to date, the Company has historically derived a significant portion of revenue from a limited number of customers, although the customers that generate a significant portion of Company revenue may change from period to period. The Company'sCompany’s customers are largely pharmaceutical and biotech companies as part of a clinical trial. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, four customers accounted for approximately 61% of the Company’s consolidated revenue from continuing operations. During the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for approximately 61% of the Company's consolidated revenue from continuing operations. During the year ended December 31, 2018, three customers accounted for approximately 53% of the Company'sCompany’s consolidated revenue from continuing operations. As a healthcare provider, the Company is still providing Discovery Services and has yet to experience a slowdown in its project work; however, the future of many projects may be delayed. The Company continues to vigilantly monitor the situation with its primary focus on the health and safety of its employees and clients.


If the Company uses biological and hazardous materials in a manner that causes injury, the Company could be liable for damages.


The Company'sCompany’s activities currently require the controlled use of potentially harmful biological materials and hazardous materials and chemicals. The Company cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury to employees or third parties from the use, storage, handling or disposal of these materials. In the event of contamination or injury, the Company could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed the Company'sCompany’s resources or any applicable insurance coverage the Company may have. Additionally, the Company is subject to, on an ongoing basis, federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, storage, handling and disposal of these materials and specified waste products. The cost of compliance with these laws and regulations may become significant and could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In the event of an accident or if the Company otherwise fails to comply with applicable regulations, the Company could lose permits or approvals or be held liable for damages or penalized with fines.


The Company'sCompany’s Discovery Services customers face intense competition from lower cost generic products, which may lower the amount that they spend on the Company'sCompany’s services.


The Company'sCompany’s Discovery Services customers face increasing competition from lower cost generic products, which in turn may affect their ability to pursue research and development activities with the Company. In the United States, EU and Japan, political pressure to reduce spending on prescription drugs has led to legislation and other measures which encourages the use of generic products. In addition, proposals emerge from time to time in the United States and other countries for legislation to further encourage the early and rapid approval of generic drugs. Loss of patent protection for a product typically is followed promptly by generic substitutes, reducing customers’ sales of that product and their overall profitability. Availability of generic substitutes for the Company'sCompany’s customers’ drugs may adversely affect their results of operations and cash flow, which in turn may mean that they would not have surplus capital to invest in research and development and drug commercialization, including in the Company's

Company’s services. If competition from generic products impacts customers’ finances such that they decide to curtail the Company'sCompany’s services, revenues may decline and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s business.


27

The Company depends on information technology and telecommunications systems, and any failure of these systems could harm the Company'sCompany’s business.


The Company depends on information technology and telecommunications systems for significant aspects of operations. These information technology and telecommunications systems support a variety of functions, including test processing, sample tracking, quality control, customer service and support, billing, and general and administrative activities. Information technology and telecommunications systems are vulnerable to damage from a variety of sources, including telecommunications or network failures, malicious human acts and natural disasters. Moreover, despite network security and back-up measures, some of the Company'sCompany’s servers are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems. Any disruption or loss of information technology or telecommunications systems on which critical aspects of the Company'sCompany’s operations depend could have an adverse effect on business.


The Company'sCompany’s results of operations may be adversely affected if the Company fails to realize the full value of goodwill and intangible assets.


The Company assesses the realizable condition of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill annually and conducts an interim evaluation whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as operating losses or a significant decline in earnings associated with the acquired business or asset, indicate that these assets may be impaired. The Company'sCompany’s ability to realize the value of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets will depend on the future cash flows of the businesses the Company has acquired, which in turn depend in part on how well the Company has integrated these businesses into the Company'sCompany’s own business. If the Company is not able to realize the value of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company may be required to incur material charges relating to the impairment of those assets. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized goodwill impairment of $2.9 million after considering the effects of the Business Disposals and declines in stock price. Such impairment charges could materially and adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s operating results and financial condition.


The Company'sCompany’s operations are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, with which compliance may be costly.


The Company'sCompany’s business is subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, worker health and safety and the use, management, storage, and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions. In addition, environmental laws and regulations could require the Company to pay for environmental remediation and response costs, or subject the Company to third party claims for personal injury, natural resource or property damage, relating to environmental contamination. Liability may be imposed whether or not the Company knew of, or were responsible for, such environmental contamination. The cost of defending against environmental claims, of compliance with environmental, health and safety regulatory requirements or of remediating contamination could materially adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s business, assets or results of operations.


Intellectual Property Risks Relating to the Company'sCompany’s Business


The Company'sCompany’s rights to use technologies licensed from third parties are not within the Company'sCompany’s control, and the Company may not be able to sell products if the Company loses existing rights or cannot obtain new rights on reasonable terms.


The Company'sCompany’s ability to market certain of services, domestically and/or internationally, is in part derived from licenses to intellectual property which is owned by third parties. As such, the Company may not be able to continue selling services if the Company loses existing licensed rights or sell new services if the Company cannot obtain such licensed rights on reasonable terms. As may be expected, the Company'sCompany’s business may suffer if (i) these licenses terminate; (ii) if the licensors fail to abide by the terms of the license, properly maintain the licensed intellectual property or fail to prevent infringement of such intellectual property by third parties; (iii) if the licensed patents or other intellectual property rights are found to be invalid or (iv) if the Company is unable to enter into necessary licenses on reasonable terms or at all. In return for the use of a third-party’s technology, the Company may agree to pay the licensor royalties based on sales of products as well as other fees. Such royalties and fees are a component of cost of product revenues and will impact the margins on the Company'sCompany’s tests.


If the Company is unable to maintain intellectual property protection, competitive position could be harmed.

The Company'sCompany’s ability to protect proprietary discoveries and technologies affects the Company'sCompany’s ability to compete and to achieve sustained profitability. Currently, the Company relies on a combination of copyrights, trademarks and trademark applications,

confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements, material transfer agreements, licenses, work-for-hire agreements and
28

invention assignment agreements to protect intellectual property rights. The Company also maintains as trade secrets certain company know-how and technological innovations designed to provide the Company with a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Currently, including both U.S. and foreign patent applications, the Company has only two issued U.S. patents and twelve pending patent applications relating to various aspects of the Company'sCompany’s technology. While the Company does not currently intend to pursue additional patent applications, it is possible that pending patent applications and any future applications may not result in issued patents. Even if patents are issued, third parties may independently develop similar or competing technology that avoids the Company'sCompany’s patents. Further, the Company cannot be certain that the steps that have been taken will prevent the misappropriation of the Company'sCompany’s trade secrets and other confidential information and technology, particularly in foreign countries where the Company does not have intellectual property rights.


The Company may become involved in lawsuits or other proceedings to protect or enforce patents or other intellectual property rights, which could be time-consuming and costly to defend, and could result in loss of significant rights and the assessment of treble damages.


From time to time the Company may face intellectual property infringement (or misappropriation) claims from third parties. Some of these claims may lead to litigation. The outcome of any such litigation can never be guaranteed, and an adverse outcome could affect the Company negatively. For example, were a third-party to succeed on an infringement claim against the Company, the Company may be required to pay substantial damages (including up to treble damages if such infringement were found to be willful). In addition, the Company could face an injunction, barring the Company from conducting the allegedly infringing activity. The outcome of the litigation could require the Company to enter into a license agreement which may not be pursuant to acceptable or commercially reasonable or practical terms or which may not be available at all. It is also possible that an adverse finding of infringement against the Company may require the Company to dedicate substantial resources and time in developing non-infringing alternatives, which may or may not be possible. In the case of diagnostic tests, the Company would also need to include non-infringing technologies which would require the Company to re-validate tests. Any such re-validation, in addition to being costly and time consuming, may be unsuccessful.


Furthermore, the Company may initiate claims to assert or defend intellectual property against third parties. Any intellectual property litigation, irrespective of whether the Company is the plaintiff or the defendant, and regardless of the outcome, is expensive and time-consuming, and could divert management’s attention from the Company'sCompany’s business and negatively affect operating results or financial condition. The Company may not be able to prevent, alone or with third-party collaborators or suppliers, misappropriation of the Company'sCompany’s proprietary rights, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect those rights as fully as in the United States. In addition, interference proceedings brought by the USPTO may be necessary to determine the priority of inventions with respect to patents and patent applications or those of the Company'sCompany’s current or future collaborators, suppliers or customers.


Finally, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of the Company'sCompany’s confidential and proprietary information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s financial condition.


Risks Relating to the Company'sCompany’s International Operations


International expansion of the Company'sCompany’s business exposes the Company to business, regulatory, political, operational, financial and economic risks associated with doing business outside of the United States.


The Company'sCompany’s business strategy incorporates international expansion, including recent acquisitions which have provided facilities in Australia, and the possibility of establishing and maintaining other locations outside of the United States and expanding relationships with biopharmaceutical, academic and governmental research organizations. Doing business internationally involves a number of risks, including:


multiple, conflicting and changing laws and regulations such as tax and transfer pricing laws, export and import restrictions, employment laws, regulatory requirements and other governmental approvals, permits and licenses;


being subject to additional privacy and cybersecurity laws, including the Australian Privacy Act of 1988;



failure by the Company or distributors to obtain regulatory approvals for the sale or use of tests in various countries, including failure to achieve “CE Marking”, a conformity mark which is required to market in vitro diagnostic medical devices in the European Economic Area and which is broadly accepted in other international markets;

29


difficulties in managing foreign operations;


financial risks, such as longer payment cycles, difficulty enforcing contracts and collecting accounts receivable and exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;


reduced protection for intellectual property rights;


natural disasters, political and economic instability, including wars, terrorism and political unrest, outbreak of disease, boycotts, curtailment of trade and other business restrictions; and


failure to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, including its books and records provisions and its anti-bribery provisions, by maintaining accurate information and control over sales and distributors’ activities.


Any of these risks, if encountered, could significantly harm future international expansion and operations and, consequently, have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.


The Company'sCompany’s operating results may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and restrictions on the deployment of cash across global operations.


Although the Company reports operating results in U.S. dollars, a portion of the Company'sCompany’s revenues and expenses are or will be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, particularly in Australia and Europe. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can have a number of adverse effects on the Company. Because the Company'sCompany’s consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the Company must translate revenues, expenses and income, as well as assets and liabilities, into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect during or at the end of each reporting period. Therefore, changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies will affect revenues, income from operations, other income (expense), net and the value of balance sheet items originally denominated in other currencies. There is no guarantee that the Company'sCompany’s financial results will not be adversely affected by currency exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, in some countries the Company could be subject to strict restrictions on the movement of cash and the exchange of foreign currencies, which could limit the Company'sCompany’s ability to use these funds across its global operations.


The Company could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other worldwide anti-bribery laws.


The FCPA and anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or other commercial advantage. The Company'sCompany’s policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws, which often carry substantial penalties, including criminal and civil fines, potential loss of export licenses, possible suspension of the ability to do business with the federal government, denial of government reimbursement for products and exclusion from participation in government health care programs. The Company may operate in jurisdictions that have experienced governmental and private sector corruption to some degree, and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with certain local customs and practices. The Company cannot assure that the internal control policies and procedures always will protect the Company from reckless or other inappropriate acts committed by affiliates, employees or agents. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s business, financial position and results of operations.


Risks Relating to the Company'sCompany’s Common Stock


The price of the Company'sCompany’s common stock has been and could remain volatile, and the market price of common stock may decrease.


The market price of the Company'sCompany’s common stock has historically experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility. From January 2015 through March 27, 2020,18, 2021, the market price of the Company'sCompany’s common stock has fluctuated from a high of $382.50 per share in the third quarter of 2015, to a low of $2.00$1.92 per share in the fourthfirst quarter of 2019.2020. In the month of February 2021, the market price of the Company’s stock fluctuated from a low of $3.52 per share to a high of $17.50 per share. Market prices for securities of development-stage life sciences companies have historically been particularly volatile. The factors that may cause the market price of the Company'sCompany’s common stock to fluctuate include, but are not limited


progress, or lack of progress, in developing and commercializing the Company'sCompany’s proprietary tests;

30

the Company'sCompany’s ability to recruit and retain qualified regulatory and research and development personnel;

changes in the relationship with key collaborators, suppliers, customers and third parties;

changes in the market valuation or earnings of competitors or companies viewed as similar to the Company;

changes in key personnel;

depth of the trading market in the Company'sCompany’s common stock;

changes in the Company'sCompany’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

the granting or exercise of employee stock options or other equity awards;

realization of any of the risks described under this section titled “Risk Factors”; and

general market and economic conditions.


In addition, the equity markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the securities of newly public companies for a number of reasons, including reasons that may be unrelated to business or operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may result in a material decline in the market price of the Company'sCompany’s common stock and you may not be able to sell your shares at prices you deem acceptable. In the past, following periods of volatility in the equity markets, securities class action lawsuits have been instituted against public companies. Such litigation, if instituted against the Company, could result in substantial cost and the diversion of management attention.


Reports published by securities or industry analysts, including projections in those reports that exceed actual results, could adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s common stock price and trading volume.


Securities research analysts establish and publish their own periodic projections for the Company'sCompany’s business. These projections may vary widely from one another and may not accurately predict the results the Company actually achieves. The Company'sCompany’s stock price may decline if the actual results do not match securities research analysts’ projections. Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who writes reports on the Company downgrades the Company'sCompany’s stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about the Company'sCompany’s business, stock price could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of the Company or fails to publish reports on the Company regularly, the Company'sCompany’s stock price or trading volume could decline. While the Company expects securities research analyst coverage, if no securities or industry analysts begin to cover the Company, the trading price for the Company'sCompany’s stock and the trading volume could be adversely affected.


The Company is incurring significant costs and devotes substantial management time as a result of operating as a public company.


As a public company, the Company is incurring significant legal, accounting and other expenses. For example, in addition to being required to comply with certain requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company is required to comply with certain requirements of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. The Company expects that compliance with these requirements will continue to increase legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time consuming and costly. In addition, the Company expects that management and other personnel will continue to need to divert attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to these public company requirements.


The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that the Company maintains effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, the Company must perform system and process evaluation and testing of internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, if the Company loses status as a “smaller reporting company,“non-accelerated filer,” the Company will be required to have the Company'sCompany’s independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Company'sCompany’s compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as applicable, requires the Company to incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts. The Company currently does not have an internal audit group, and the Company will need to continue to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. If the Company or the independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in the Company'sCompany’s internal control over
31

financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of the Company'sCompany’s stock could decline and the Company could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the NASDAQ, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.


The Company'sCompany’s ability to successfully implement the Company'sCompany’s business plan and maintain compliance with Section 404, as applicable, requires the Company to be able to prepare timely and accurate financial statements. The Company expects that the Company will need to continue to improve existing, and implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls

to manage the Company'sCompany’s business effectively. Any delay in the implementation of, or disruption in the transition to, new or enhanced systems, procedures or controls, may cause operations to suffer and the Company may be unable to conclude that internal control over financial reporting is effective and to obtain an unqualified report on internal controls from the Company's auditors as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.effective. If the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, the Company may not be able to accurately report financial results, and current and potential stockholders may lose confidence in the Company'sCompany’s financial reporting. This, in turn, could have an adverse impact on trading prices for the Company'sCompany’s common stock, and could adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s ability to access the capital markets.


Anti-takeover provisions of the Company'sCompany’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law could make an acquisition of the Company, which may be beneficial to the Company'sCompany’s stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by the Company'sCompany’s stockholders to replace or remove the current members of the board and management.


Certain provisions of the Company'sCompany’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change of control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. Furthermore, these provisions could prevent or frustrate attempts by the Company'sCompany’s stockholders to replace or remove members of the board of directors. These provisions also could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for the Company'sCompany’s common stock, thereby depressing the market price of the Company'sCompany’s common stock. Stockholders who wish to participate in these transactions may not have the opportunity to do so. These provisions, among other things:

authorize the board of directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock, the rights of which will be determined at the discretion of the board of directors and that, if issued, could operate as a “poison pill” to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer to prevent an acquisition that the board of directors does not approve;


establish advance notice requirements for stockholder nominations to the board of directors or for stockholder proposals that can be acted on at stockholder meetings; and


limit who may call a stockholder meeting.


In addition, the Company is governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, which may, unless certain criteria are met, prohibit large stockholders, in particular those owning 15% or more of the voting rights on the Company'sCompany’s common stock, from merging or combining with the Company for a prescribed period of time.


Because the Company does not expect to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future, you must rely on appreciation of the Company'sCompany’s common stock price for any return on your investment. Even if the Company changes that policy, the Company may be restricted from paying dividends on the Company'sCompany’s common stock.


The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends on shares of common stock for the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon results of operations, financial performance, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors the board of directors deems relevant. Accordingly, you will have to rely on capital appreciation, if any, to earn a return on your investment in the Company'sCompany’s common stock. Investors seeking cash dividends in the foreseeable future should not purchase the Company'sCompany’s common stock.

Item 3.Legal Proceedings


On April 5, 2018November 13, 2020, a purported stockholder of CGI filed a complaint against CGI, the chief executive officer of CGI and April 12, 2018, purported stockholdersthe directors of CGI in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled, Scott Sawin v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al. The complaint (the “Sawin Complaint”) alleges that CGI’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, as filed with the SEC on October 16, 2020 related to the merger (the “Prior Registration Statement”), omitted to disclose certain material information allegedly necessary to make statements made in the Prior Registration Statement not misleading and/or false, in violation of Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the CompanySecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, and alleges breach of fiduciary duty of candor/disclosure. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, enjoining the merger until the defendants to the applicable lawsuit disclose the alleged omitted material information, and costs, among other remedies.

On November 19, 2020, a purported stockholder of CGI filed nearly identical putative class action lawsuitsa complaint against CGI and the directors of CGI in the U.S.United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled, Carlos Juan Pastrana v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al. On November 19, 2020, a purported stockholder of CGI filed a complaint against CGI and the directors of CGI in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, against the Company, Panna L. Sharma, John A. Roberts, and Igor Gitelman, captioned Ben Phetteplaceentitled, Joshua Dunn v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al., No. 2:18-cv-05612 and Ruo Fen Zhang v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al., No. 2:18-06353, respectively. The complaints alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company's business, operational, and financial results. The lawsuits sought, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages in connection with purchases of the Company's stock between March On November 23, 2017 and April 2, 2018, as well as interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs. On August 28, 2018, the Court consolidated the two actions in one action captioned In re Cancer Genetics, Inc. Securities Litigation (the “Securities Litigation”) and appointed shareholder Randy Clark as the lead plaintiff. On October 30, 2018, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, adding Edward Sitar as2020, a defendant and seeking, among other things, compensatory damages in connection with purchasespurported stockholder of CGI stock between March 10, 2016 and April 2, 2018. On December 31, 2018, Defendants filed a motion to dismisscomplaint against CGI and the amended complaint for failure to state a claim. The Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss during the oral argument and on February 25, 2020, the Court issued a written order dismissing the case with prejudice. The Lead Plaintiff has not appealed the dismissal.

In addition, on June 1, 2018, September 20, 2018, and September 25, 2018, purported stockholdersdirectors of the Company filed nearly identical derivative lawsuits on behalf of the CompanyCGI in the U.S.United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, entitled, Matthew Haller v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al. On November 25, 2020, a purported stockholder of CGI filed a complaint against CGI and the Company (asdirectors of CGI in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, entitled, Steve Prentiss v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al. On December 1, 2020, a nominal defendant)purported stockholder of CGI filed a complaint against CGI and currentthe directors of CGI in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled, Virginia Weiderman v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al. On December 18, 2020, a purported stockholder of CGI filed a complaint against CGI and former membersthe directors of CGI in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled, Jason Kauffman v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al. On January 27, 2021, a purported stockholder of CGI filed a complaint against CGI and the directors of CGI in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, entitled, Joseph Sheridan v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al. Each of the Company’s Board of Directors and current and former officers of the Company. The three cases are captioned: Bell v. Sharma et al., No. 2:18-cv-10009-CCC-MF, McNeece v. Pappajohn et al., No. 2:18-cv-14093, and Workman v. Pappajohn, et al., No. 2:18-cv-14259 (the “Derivative Litigation”). Theforegoing seven complaints allege facts and seek relief substantially similar to the Sawin Complaint.

CGI believes that the claims for breach of fiduciary duty, violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (premised upon alleged omissionsasserted in the Company’s 2017 proxy statement),lawsuits described above are without merit and unjust enrichment,intends to vigorously defend CGI, CGI Acquisition, Inc. and allegethe director and officer defendants against these claims, as applicable, however, there can be no assurance that the individual defendants failedwill prevail in such lawsuits. CGI is not able to implement and maintain adequate controls, which resultedestimate any possible loss from these litigations at this time. It is possible that additional lawsuits may be filed in ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, and conspiredconnection with the merger.

In November 2020 vivoPharm Pty Ltd received a letter from counsel for a customer of vivoPharm alleging entitlement to conceal this alleged failure. The lawsuits seek, among other things, damages and/or restitution to the Company, appropriate equitable relief to remedy the alleged breachesa refund of fiduciary duty, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On November 9, 2018, the Courtprepayments made under a master services agreement in the Bell v. Sharma action entered a stipulation filedsum of approximately $306 thousand. Counsel for vivoPharm responded and denied any liability. In February 2021 counsel for the customer repeated its claim,and stated its intent to commence litigation if the matter were not resolved. Counsel for vivoPharm responded by repeating its denial of any liability but offering to pay $60 thousand to resolve the parties staying the Bell action until the Securities Litigation is dismissed, with prejudice, and all appeals havematter. No litigation has been exhausted; or the defendants’ motioncommenced to dismiss in the Securities Litigation is denied in whole or in part; or either of the parties in the Bell action gives 30 days’ notice that they no longer consent to the stay. On December 10, 2018, the parties in the McNeece action filed a stipulation that is substantially identical to the Bell stipulation. On February 1, 2019, the Court in the Workman action granted a stipulation that is substantially identical to the Bell stipulation. On May 15, 2020, the plaintiff’s in the Workman action filed a notice of voluntary dismissal to the original action. The plaintiff’s in the McNeece action sent an identical notice that they intend to file a similar notice of voluntary dismissal to their original action. Based upon the above dismissal of the securities class action litigation, the Company anticipates the plaintiffs in the remaining derivative lawsuit may voluntarily dismiss their action as well. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the Derivative Litigation and therefore cannot estimate possible losses or ranges of losses, if any. The Company is expensing legal costs associated with the loss contingency as incurred.date.

PART II
Item 5.Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information


The Company's common stock trades on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “CGIX.”


Holders


As of December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had approximately 3545 holders of record of the Company's common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of the transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. The transfer agent of the Company's common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, 17 Battery Place, 8th Floor, New York, New York, 10004.10004


Dividends


The Company has never declared dividends on the Company's equity securities, and currently dodoes not plan to declare dividends on shares of the Company's common stock in the foreseeable future.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. In addition, as the Company is located in New Jersey, the Company is currently under a shelter-in-place mandate and many of its customers worldwide are similarly impacted. The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve, and the extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Company's business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries, business closures or business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease. As a healthcare provider, the Company is still providing Discovery Services and has yet to experience a slowdown in its project work, however, the future of many projects may be delayed. The Company continues to vigilantly monitor the situation with its primary focus on the health and safety of its employees and clients.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the table below contains non-GAAP financial measures that the Company believes are helpful in understanding and comparing its past financial performance and its future results, and are reflected as "Adjusted EBITDA." The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to normalize its operations. The Company defined adjusted EBITDA as earnings before (1) net interest expense, (2) taxes, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) non-cash stock-based compensation, (5) goodwill impairment, (7) gain on troubled debt restructuring and (6) changes in fair value of various assets and liabilities that are remeasured on a recurring basis. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about the Company’s core operating results and cash flow performance and thus are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past financial performance and its prospects for the future. The non-GAAP financial measures are included in the table below.

On April 4, 2019, the Company sold $11.6 million of gross State of New Jersey NOLs relating to the 2017 tax year as well as $72 thousand of state research and development tax credits. The sale resulted in the net receipt by the Company of $512 thousand. The Company did not sell any NOLs during 2018.2020. The Company's effective rate for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 0% and 2018 was 7.1% and 0.0%, respectively.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Sources and Uses of Liquidity


The primary sources of the Company's liquidity have been cash collections from customers, funds generated from debt financings and equity financings, and cash received from the Business Disposals. The Company expects to continue generating additional cash from its customers in the future and from its Business Disposals for a limited time until the Earn-Out is paid as discussed below.future.

During January 2019, the Company closed two public offerings and issued an aggregate of 952 thousand shares of common stock for $5.4 million, net of expenses and discounts of $1.1 million. In October 2019, the Company issued the Note Payable to Atlas Sciences for $1.3 million, net of discounts, which was remitted directly to Iliad to satisfy a portion of the Convertible Note balance. The Company also sold $11.6 million of gross State of New Jersey NOL’s relating to the 2017 tax year as well as $72 thousand of state research and development tax credits in April 2019. The sale resulted in the net receipt by the Company of $512 thousand.

In July 2019, the Company completed two business disposals, resulting in an aggregate of $9.0 million of net cash proceeds at the time of closing; however, $1.0 million of the funds received is an advance from siParadigm that is being deducted from the Earn-Out amounts due during the period. At December 31, 2019. the estimated future Earn-Out payments from siParadigm, net of the remaining balance of the advance, were $285 thousand, which are expected to be collected in variable monthly payments through July 2021; the monthly payment amount is based on the number of tests performed by siParadigm for the Company's former Clinical Services' customers. At December 31, 2019, the Company also holds a note receivable from IDXG (the Excess Consideration Note) for $888 thousand. The balance at December 31, 2019 represents the AR Holdback of $153 thousand and the Indemnification Holdback of $735 thousand, which were due to the Company on January 15, 2020 and were received in full in April and May 2020, respectively.

The primary uses of the Company's liquidity have been cash used to fund the Company's operations, as detailed in the cash flows section below, as well as cash used to repay the Company's lenders. During 2019, the Company settled the Convertible Note owed to Iliad and significantly reduced the amount of its Advance from NDX. The Note Payable to Atlas Sciences matures in October 2020; furthermore, Atlas Sciences is entitled to demand monthly redemptions of up to $300 thousand beginning in April 2020. The Company is also required to remit monthly installments of $50 thousand to NDX until the Advance from NDX is repaid. Subsequent to year-end, an additional $250 thousand was repaid on the Advance from NDX.

At December 31, 2019, the Company does not project that cash at December 31, 2019 will be sufficient to fund normal operations for the twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on reduced losses and improved future cash flows. Alternatively, the Company may be required to raise additional equity or debt capital, or consummate other strategic transactions. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company can provide no assurance that these actions will be successful or that additional sources of financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

Cash Flows from Continuing Operations

The Company's net cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities from continuing operations for the periods below were as follows (in thousands):

  Year Ended December 31,

 $680

The Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $4.2 million and $511 thousand at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The $136 thousand increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash from continuing operations was principally the result of $5.4 million received in the 2019 Offerings, net of expenses. These receipts were offset, in part, by $3.2 million of net cash used to fund operations, $1.0 million used to settle the remainder of the Convertible Note with Iliad, and $892 thousand of payments on the Advance from NDX.

The $680 thousand increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, principally resulted from proceeds of $2.5 million and $1.5 million from the Convertible Note and Advance from NDX, respectively, offset, in part, by net cash used in operations of $3.2 million.

Cash Used in Operating Activities from Continuing Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2019, cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $3.2 million, consisting of net loss from continuing operations of $6.9 million, positive non-cash adjustments of $5.4 million and additional uses of cash relating to changes in working capital items of $1.7 million. Changes in cash flows from working capital items were primarily driven by a net increase in other current assets of $279 thousand, a net decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue of $1.3 million, and a decrease in obligations under operating leases of $189 thousand. These uses of cash were partially offset by a net decrease in accounts receivable of $81 thousand.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $3.2 million, consisting of net loss from continuing operations of $4.2 million, negative non-cash adjustments of $2.0 million and additional cash provided relating to changes in working capital items of $3.0 million. Cash flows from changes in working capital items were primarily driven by a net increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue of $2.9 million and a net reduction in accounts receivable of $296 thousand. These cash flows were offset by an increase in other current assets of $87 thousand and other non-current assets of $49 thousand.

Cash Provided by Investing Activities from Continuing Operations

Net cash used in continuing investing activities was $28 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019, relating to purchases of fixed assets.

Net cash used in continuing investing activities was $17 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2018, relating to purchases of fixed assets.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities from Continuing Operations

Net cash provided by continuing financing activities was $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and principally resulted from net proceeds received from the 2019 Offerings of $5.4 million, offset, in part, by principal payments of $1.0 million and $892 thousand on the Convertible Note and the Advance from NDX, respectively, as well as $72 thousand of payments on finance leases.

Net cash provided by continuing financing activities was $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and resulted from proceeds of $2.5 million and $1.5 million from the Convertible Note and Advance from NDX, respectively.

Capital Resources and Expenditure Requirements


The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses in the future, as the costs of being public have significant effect on losses that keep the Company from being profitable. The Company expects losses to continue, only to the extent that the business does not outpace the public company-related expenses, such as legal and audit fees and director’s and officer’s liability insurance. These losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company's working capital, total assets and stockholders’ equity. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with its revenue growth and costs associated with being a public company, the Company is unable to predict when it will become profitable, and it may never become profitable. Even if the Company does achieve profitability, it may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. The Company's inability to achieve and then maintain profitability would negatively affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

On October 28, 2020 the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Wainwright relating to an underwritten public offering of approximately 1.6 million shares of common stock, including approximately 0.2 million shares subject to an option to purchase additional shares, which option was exercised in full on October 30, 2020, at a price to the public of $2.20 per share. The Company received gross proceeds from the offering of approximately $3.5 million, less underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately $534 thousand. In addition, Wainwright received warrants to purchase approximately 94 thousand shares of common stock at $2.42 per share.

On December 2, 2020, the Company entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Wainwright, as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through Wainwright, shares of CGI Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2.4 million (the “ATM Shares”). Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, Wainwright may sell the ATM Shares in sales deemed to be “at-the-market” equity offerings as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company suspended the offering of shares under the ATM Agreement on February 10, 2021. Prior to the suspension, the Company has sold an aggregate of 250 thousand shares under the ATM Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $957 thousand.

On January 28, 2021, CGI entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “CGI PIPE Purchasers”), pursuant to which CGI issued and sold to the CGI PIPE Purchasers in a private placement an aggregate of (i) 2.8 million shares of CGI Common Stock and (ii) common warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2.8 million shares of CGI Common Stock, at a combined offering price of $3.625 per CGI PIPE Share and accompanying CGI PIPE Warrant to purchase one share of CGI Common Stock, for gross proceeds of approximately $10 million. The net proceeds to CGI from the CGI PIPE were approximately $8.9 million, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by CGI.

On February 10, 2021, CGI issued and sold to certain institutional investors an aggregate of 2.8 million shares of CGI Common Stock in a registered direct offering at an offering price of $6.30 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $17.5 million, or $15.8 million of net proceeds, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by
42

CGI and issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 167 thousand shares of CGI Common Stock to Wainwright as placement agent compensation.

Between February 10, 2021 and March 22, 2021, the Company received proceeds of $4.0 million from four warrant exercises for an aggregate of 1.1 million shares of common stock.

The primary uses of the Company's liquidity have been cash used to fund the Company's operations, as detailed in the cash flows section below, as well as cash used to repay the Company's lenders.

From June through September 2020, the Company settled all principal and interest on the note payable to Atlas Sciences through the exchange of shares of common stock.

The Company believes that its cash at December 31, 2020, together with net proceeds of (i) $797 thousand from post year end sales pursuant to its At The Market Offering Agreement dated December 2, 2020 (the “CGI ATM”), (ii) $8.9 million from the issuance and sale of CGI securities in the CGI PIPE, (iii) $15.8 million from the issuance and sale of CGI securities in the CGI RD Financing and (iv) $4.0 million from warrant exercises will be sufficient to fund normal operations for at least the next 24 months from the date of this filing. These conditions no longer raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash Used in Operating Activities from Continuing Operations

Net cash used by continuing operating activities was $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, consisting of a net loss from continuing operations of $5.9 million, positive non-cash adjustments of $1.2 million and a decrease in cash relating to changes in working capital items of $288 thousand.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $3.2 million, consisting of net loss from continuing operations of $6.9 million, positive non-cash adjustments of $5.4 million and additional uses of cash relating to changes in working capital items of $1.7 million. Changes in cash flows from working capital items were primarily driven by a net increase in other current assets of $279 thousand, a net decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue of $1.3 million, and a decrease in obligations under operating leases of $189 thousand. These uses of cash were partially offset by a net decrease in accounts receivable of $81 thousand.

Cash Provided by Investing Activities from Continuing Operations

Net cash provided by continuing investing activities was $885 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, relating primarily to the collection of the Excess Consideration Note of $888 thousand.

43

Net cash used in continuing investing activities was $28 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019, relating to purchases of fixed assets.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities from Continuing Operations

Net cash provided by continuing financing activities was $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and principally resulted from net proceeds received from the November 2020 Offering and the ATM Offering of an aggregate of $3.1 million, offset, in part, by principal payments of $350 thousand on the Convertible Note and the Advance from NDX, respectively, as well as $84 thousand of payments on finance leases.

Net cash provided by continuing financing activities was $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and resulted from proceeds of $5.4 million offset by principal payments of $1.0 million and $892 thousand on the Convertible Note and the Advance from NDX, respectively, as well as $72 thousand of payments on finance leases.

Capital Resources and Expenditure Requirements

The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses in the future, as the costs of being public have significant effect on losses that keep the Company from being profitable. The Company expects losses to continue, only to the extent that the business does not outpace the public company-related expenses, such as legal and audit fees and director’s and officer’s liability insurance. These losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company's working capital, total assets and stockholders’ equity. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with its revenue growth and costs associated with being a public company, the Company is unable to predict when it will become profitable, and it may never become profitable. Even if the Company is successful in acquiring StemoniX, StemoniX is not profitable and the Company is not able to predict when the combined business would become profitable, and it may never become profitable, thereby increasing the Company’s needs for additional financing. Even if the Company does achieve profitability, with or without consummating the StemoniX acquisition, it may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. The Company's inability to achieve and then maintain profitability would negatively affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As a result, it may need to raise additional capital to fund its current operations to repay certain outstanding indebtedness and to fund its business to meet its long-term business objectives through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, borrowings or strategic partnerships coupled with an investment in the Company or a combination thereof. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of convertible debt securities, or other debt securities, these securities could be secured and could have rights senior to those of its common stock. In addition, any new debt incurred by the Company could impose covenants that restrict its operations and increase its interest expense. The issuance of any new equity securities will also dilute the interest of current stockholders.

In October 2019, the Company settled the Convertible Note owed to Iliad and now owes $1.3 million in principal amount to Atlas Sciences under a new unsecured note due in October 2020. The Company also owes an aggregate of $350 thousand to NDX as of December 31, 2019 pursuant to the NDX Settlement Agreement, which is payable in monthly installments of $50 thousand. The Company has no material capital commitments outside of its existing debt arrangements.

Even after the Business Disposals, the Company does not project that cash at December 31, 2019 will be sufficient to fund normal operations for the twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on reduced losses and improved future cash flows. Alternatively, the Company may be required to raise additional equity or debt capital, or consummate other strategic transactions. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company can provide no assurance that these actions will be successful or that additional sources of financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. The Company made this assessment in light of the expected impact of COVID 19.


The Company's forecast of the period of time through which its current financial resources will be adequate to support its operations and its expected operating expenses are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors, including:
 
the expected benefits of, and potential value, including synergies, created by, the proposed merger transaction between the Company and StemoniX, Inc. (“StemoniX”) for the stockholders of CGI;
likelihood of the satisfaction of certain conditions to the completion of the merger with StemoniX, and whether and when the merger will be consummated;
CGI’s ability to control and correctly estimate its operating expenses and its expenses associated with the StemoniX merger;
the Company's ability to adapt its business for future developments in light of the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, which continues to rapidly evolve;
the Company's ability to achieve profitability by increasing sales of the Company's preclinical CRO services focused on oncology and immuno-oncology;
the Company's ability to raise additional capital to repay its indebtedness and meet its liquidity needs;
the Company's ability to execute on its marketing and sales strategy for its preclinical research services and gain acceptance of its services in the market;
the Company's ability to keep pace with rapidly advancing market and scientific developments;
the Company's ability to satisfy U.S. (including FDA) and international regulatory requirements with respect to its services;
the Company's ability to maintain its present customer base and obtain new customers;
competition from preclinical CRO services companies, many of which are much larger than the Company in terms of employee base, revenues and overall number of customers and related market share;
44

the Company's ability to maintain the Company's clinical and research collaborations and enter into new collaboration agreements with highly regarded organizations in the field of oncology so that, among other things, the Company has access to thought leaders in advanced preclinical and translational science;
potential product liability or intellectual property infringement claims;
the Company's dependency on third-party manufacturers to supply it with instruments and specialized supplies;
the Company's ability to attract and retain a sufficient number of scientists, clinicians, sales personnel and other key personnel with extensive experience in oncology and immuno-oncology, who are in short supply;
the Company's ability to obtain or maintain patents or other appropriate protection for the intellectual property in its proprietary tests and services;

the Company's ability to effectively manage its international businesses in Australia Europe and China,Europe, including the expansion of its customer base and volume of new contracts in these markets;
the Company's dependency on the intellectual property licensed to the Company or possessed by third parties; and
the Company's ability to adequately support future growth; and
other risks discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”


The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20192020 were prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be required to liquidate its assets.  The ability of the Company to meet its obligations, and to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the availability of future funding and the continued growth in revenues.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Income Taxes


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


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


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


Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgment and Estimates


The Company's management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company

evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and makes various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


The notes to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements contain a summary of its significant accounting policies. Management considers the following accounting policies critical to the understanding of the results of the Company's operations:
 
Revenue recognition;
Accounts receivable and bad debts;

Warrant liabilities and other derivatives;
Stock-based compensation;
Income taxes; and
Impairment of intangibles and long-lived assets.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The notes to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements contain a summary of recent accounting pronouncements.


Item 7A.Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk


The Company has exposure to financial market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and risk associated with how it invests its cash.


Foreign Exchange Risk


The Company conducts business in foreign markets through its subsidiary in Australia (vivoPharm Pty Ltd.). For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, approximately 39% and 2018, approximately 20% and 33%, respectively, of the Company's continuing revenues were earned outside the United States and collected in local currency. The Company is subject to risk for exchange rate fluctuations between such local currencies and the United States dollar and the subsequent translation of the Australia Dollar or Euro to United States dollars. The Company currently does not hedge currency risk. The translation adjustments for the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 20182019 were not significant.


Investment of Cash


The Company invests its cash primarily in money market funds. Because of the short-term nature of these investments, the Company does not believe it has material exposure due to market risk. The impact to the Company's financial position and results of operations from likely changes in interest rates is not material.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




To the StockholdersShareholders and Board of Directors of
Cancer Genetics, Inc. and Subsidiaries



Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheetsheets of Cancer Genetics, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss,changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the yeartwo years in the period ended December 31, 2019,2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the yeartwo years in the period ended December 31, 2019,2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph - Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has minimal working capital, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Retrospective Adjustments
We also have audited the adjustments to the financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and for the year then ended to retrospectively apply the change in accounting for the reverse stock split and discontinued operations, as described in Note 1. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2018 financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2018 financial statements taken as a whole.

Adoption of New Accounting Standard
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases in 2019 due to the adoption of the guidance in ASC Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”), as amended, effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach.


Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit.audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.


We conducted our auditaudits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our auditaudits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.


Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Cancer Genetics, Inc. and Subsidiaries


Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cancer Genetics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, except for effects of the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we been engaged to audit the Company’s restatement for discontinued operations and a reverse stock-split, as described below, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Restatement for 2019 transactions requiring retrospective accounting treatment in 2018 financial statements
We were not engaged to audit the restatement of the 2018 financial statements and disclosures for discontinued operations and a reverse stock-split, as discussed in Note 1 to the 2019 financial statements.

Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying 2018 financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the 2018 financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses, and has an accumulated deficit and negative cash flows from operations. The Company is also in violation of certain debt covenants. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the 2018 financial statements. The 2018 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 3 to the 2018 financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for recognizing revenue effective January 1, 2018 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
Except as discussed above, we conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has determined that revenue is recorded at the amount expected to be collected. The Company’s performance obligations are specific to the services included within each revenue contract which requires subjective judgment regarding the satisfaction of the performance obligation criteria for revenue recognition. Performance obligations are satisfied over time and as study data is transmitted to the customer. Revenue from the Company's Discovery Services is recognized using the time elapsed method and at a point in time as the Company delivers study results to the customers. We identified management’s determination of when the satisfaction of the performance obligation was met on the contracts as a critical audit matter.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following:

Tested the completeness of the contracts’ population as of year-end;
48

Obtained an understanding of the Company’s revenue recognition process, including processes over the determination of performance obligations for contract arrangements;
Read the contracts to obtain an understanding of the contractual requirements and deliverables;
Bifurcated the population of total contracts and performed additional audit procedures for open contracts; and
Inspected correspondence between the Company and the customer regarding actual and expected contract performance to date and compared to the estimate to complete its performance obligations.

All options to purchase shares of StemoniX Common Stock (“StemoniX Options”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into a stock option to purchase shares of CGI Common Stock, proportionately adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio. All warrants (“StemoniX Warrants”) to purchase shares of StemoniX capital stock, excluding certain warrants that are anticipated to be issued to investors purchasing at least a minimum amount of additional StemoniX Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Note Warrants”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the same consideration such warrantholder would have received had they exercised the StemoniX Warrants immediately prior to the merger, based on the Exchange Ratio, net of the exercise price. All Convertible Note Warrants will be exchanged for warrants (the “Convertible Note Exchange Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of CGI Common Stock equal to 20% of the principal amount of Convertible Notes purchased divided by the weighted average share price of CGI Common Stock over the 5 trading days prior to the closing of the merger (the “5-Day VWAP”), with an exercise price equal to the 5-Day VWAP. In addition, each share of StemoniX Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CGI Common Stock (the “Series C Conversion Shares”) equal to the price per share paid for the Series C Preferred Stock divided by a conversion price, subject to a valuation cap set forth in the Merger Agreement, equal to 85% of the 5-Day VWAP.


Pursuant to the BioPharmaMerger Agreement, Buyer purchased from PFGCGI and StemoniX have agreed that their respective equity holders’ ownership in the post-merger company would be at the 22%/78% ratio described below, but that securities issued by each party in certain assets and assumed certain liabilitiesprivate placement transactions after the date of the Company relatingoriginal Merger Agreement would not be included in determining that ratio and would instead dilute the ownership of all holders proportionately. Those transactions are (a) the private offering by StemoniX of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Financing”) which closed on March 15, 2021, in which an aggregate of up to $2 million was raised, (b) the BioPharma Business, providing as gross consideration $23.5 million, lessprivate offering by CGI of CGI Common Stock and warrants that closed on February 1, 2021 (the “CGI PIPE”) and (c) the registered direct offering by CGI of CGI Common Stock and placement agent warrants that closed on February 16, 2021 (the “CGI RD Financing”, and collectively with the Series C Financing and CGI PIPE, the “Private Placement”).

On January 26, 2019, the Company issued 507 thousand shares of common stock at a public offering price of $6.90 per share. The Company received proceeds from the offering of $3.0 million, net of expenses and discounts of $525 thousand. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 36 thousand shares of common stock to the underwriter, H.C. Wainwright, in connection with this offering. The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at a per share price of $7.59. The warrants had a fair value of $183 thousand on the date of issuance and are classified as equity in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The January 9, 2019 and January 26, 2019 offerings will be referred to collectively as the “2019 Offerings.” As disclosed in Note 20, certain of the Company's directors and executive officers purchased shares in the 2019 Offerings at the public offering price.

Note 2. Going Concern


At December 31, 2019,2020, the Company's history of losses required management to assess its ability to continue operating as a going concern, according to ASC 205-40, Going Concern. Even afterDuring the disposalyear ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of its BioPharma Business$8.0 million, including impairment charges of $2.2 million and Clinical Business$539 thousand of merger-related expenses. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $172.4 million. Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $5.4 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $2.4 million of available cash to fund ongoing operating activities. As discussed in Note 1,20, the Company does not project that cash atraised $29.5 million subsequent to December 31, 2019 will be2020. Therefore, the Company believes that with the cash available after the equity raises that the Company has sufficient cash to fund normalsupport its operations for the twelve monthsat least one year from the issuance of these financial statements inand therefore substantial doubt as to the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Company's ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on reduced losses and improved future cash flows. Alternatively, the Company may be required to raise additional equity or debt capital, or consummate other strategic transactions. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company can provide no assurance that these actions will be successful or that additional sources of financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all.


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

On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19(“COVID-19”) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. In addition, as the Company is located in New Jersey, itthe Company is currently under a shelter-in-place mandate and many of its customers worldwide are similarly impacted. The global outbreak of the COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve, and the extent to which the COVID-19 may impact the Company's business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries, business closures or business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease. As a healthcare provider, the Company is still providing Discovery Services and has yet to experience a slowdown in its project work, however, the future of many projects may be delayed. The Company continues to vigilantly monitor the situation with its primary focus on the health and safety of its employees and clients.


Note 3.2. Significant Accounting Policies


Basis of presentation: The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
56

Table of Contents
Segment reporting: Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is used by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one1 operating segment, which is the business of developing and selling diagnostic tests and services.


Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cancer Genetics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign currency: The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries, which have a functional currency in the respective country’s local currency, to U.S. dollars using month-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for revenue, costs and expenses. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are included within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss.
Use of estimates and assumptions: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, realization of amounts billed, realization of long-lived assets, realization of intangible assets, accruals for litigation and registration payments, assumptions used to value stock options, warrants and goodwill and the valuation of assets and liabilities associated with the Business Disposals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and uncertainties: The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition, government regulation and rapid technological change. the Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory, foreign operations, and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.
Cash and cash equivalents: Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents.


Restricted cash: Represents cash held at financial institutions which the Company may not withdraw and which collateralizes certain of the Company's financial commitments. All of the Company's restricted cash is invested in interest bearing certificates of deposit. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company's restricted cash collateralizescollateralized a $350 thousand letter of credit in favor of its former landlord, pursuant to the terms of the lease for its former Rutherford facility. The letter of credit was released on May 20, 2020.


Revenue recognitionThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to the balance of accumulated deficit on January 1, 2018. The transition adjustment resulted in a net reduction to the opening balance of accumulated deficit of $2.5 million on January 1, 2018 and increased deferred revenue associated with the former BioPharma Business and Discovery Services by $1.9 million and $600 thousand, respectively, due to a change in the Company's policies for recognized revenue for performance obligations fulfilled over time.

Revenue is recorded at the amount expected to be collected, which includes implicit price concessions. Performance obligations are satisfied over time and as study data is transmitted to the customer. Revenue from the Company's Discovery Services is recognized using the time elapsed method and at a point in time as the Company delivers study results to the customers. As results are delivered, the invoices are generated based on contractual rates. Some contracts have prepayments prior to services being rendered that are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company records deferred revenues (contract liabilities) when cash payments are received or due in advance of its performance, including amounts which are refundable. The Company's customer arrangements do not contain any significant financing component.


Discovery Services frequently take time to complete under their respective contacts. These times vary depending on specific contract arrangements including the length of the study and how samples are delivered to the Company for processing. However, the duration of performance obligations for Discovery Services is less than one year.


The Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes that it collects from customers that are assessed by governmental authorities and are both imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions.
Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value, which is the original invoice amount less an estimate for contractual adjustments, discounts and doubtful receivables, the amounts of which are determined by an analysis of individual accounts. The Company's policy for assessing the collectability of receivables is dependent upon the major payor

source of the underlying revenue. The Company performs an assessment of credit worthiness prior to initial engagement and reassesses it periodically. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.
Deferred revenue: Payments received in advance of services rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and are subsequently recognized as revenue in the period in which the services are performed.
Fixed assets: Fixed assets consist of diagnostic equipment and furniture and fixtures. Fixed assets are carried at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from five to twelve years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred while improvements are capitalized. Upon sale, retirement or disposal of fixed assets, the accounts are relieved of the cost and the related accumulated depreciation with any gain or loss recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss.

Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. These computations utilize judgments and assumptions inherent in the Company's estimate of future cash flows to determine recoverability of these assets. If the Company's assumptions about these assets were to change as a result of events or circumstances, the Company may be required to record an impairment loss. NoNaN impairment loss was recognized for the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019.


Goodwill: Goodwill resulted from the purchase of vivoPharm in 2017. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company is required to test goodwill for impairment and adjust for impairment losses, if any, at least annually and on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is likely impairment has occurred. The Company's annual goodwill impairment testing date is October 1 of each year using a market approach. No suchNaN impairment losses were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2018.2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized impairment of goodwill of $2.9 million.

Equity investment: The Company has an equity investment that does not have a readily determinable market value, with a cost basis of $200 thousand at December 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019. This investment is measured at cost, less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in ordinary transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Changes in the fair value of the investment are recorded as net appreciation in fair value of investment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss. At December 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the equity investment was $200 thousand and is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. No net appreciation or depreciation in fair value of investment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, as there were no observable price changes in the stock.
Financing fees: Financing fees are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt. Debt is recorded net of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Warrant liability: The Company issued warrants during the 2016 Offerings and the 2017 Offering that contain a contingent net cash settlement feature, which are described herein as derivative warrants. The Company also issued warrants that were subject to a 20% reduction if the Company achieved certain financial milestones as part of its 2017 debt refinancing; these warrants were reclassified as equity during 2018 when the number of shares issuable under the agreement became fixed.

Derivative warrants are recorded as liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, the Company estimated the fair value of these warrants using the binomial lattice, Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo valuation pricing models with the assumptions as follows: The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the warrant is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The expected life of the warrants is based upon the contractual life of the warrants. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock and the closing price of its shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

The Company computes the fair value of the warrant liability at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The key component in the value of the warrant liability is the Company's
58

Table of Contents
stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under the Company's control. The resulting effect on the Company's net loss is therefore subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the warrants are exercised, amended or expire. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when the stock price increases and non-cash income when the stock price decreases.
Derivative liabilities: The Company evaluates its debt and equity issuances to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives requiring separate recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability and the change in fair value is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated results of operations. In circumstances where there are multiple embedded instruments that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-

currentnon-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption and are recorded as interest expense in the consolidated results of operations.
Income taxes: Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Deferred income taxes are also recognized for net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards that are available to offset future taxable income and research and development credits.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has established a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 20192020 and 2018;2019; therefore, the Company has not recognized any deferred tax benefit or expense in the periods presented. However, the sale of state NOLs and research and development credits are included in current income tax benefit duringfor the period ofended December 31, 2019. There were 0 state NOL sales for the sale.year ended December 31, 2020.
ASC 740, Income Taxes, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. ASC 740 provides that a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions may be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. ASC 740 also provides guidance on measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At December 31, 20192020 and 20182019 the Company had no0 uncertain tax positions, and the Company does not expect any changes with regards to uncertain tax positions during the year ending December 31, 2020.2021.
The Company's policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. There is no0 accrual for interest or penalties on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 20192020 or 2018,2019, and the Company has not0t recognized interest and/or penalties in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss for the years ended December 31, 20192020 or 2018.2019.
The Company's major taxing jurisdictions are the United States, Australia and New Jersey. The Company's tax years for 20152017 through 20182019 are subject to examination by the tax authorities. Generally, as of December 31, 2019,2020, the Company is no longer subject to federal and state examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015.2017. In Australia, the Company's tax returns are subject to examination for five years from the date of filing. However, to the extent allowed by law, the tax authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where net operating losses or tax credits were generated and carried forward, and make adjustments up to the amount of the net operating loss or credit carryforward.

Patents and other intangible assets:assets: The Company accounts for intangible assets under ASC 350-30. Patents consisting of legal fees incurred are initially recorded at cost. The Company has also acquired patents that are initially recorded at fair value. Patents are amortized over the useful lives of the assets, which range from seven to ten years, using the straight-line method.

Table of Contents
The Company reviews the carrying value of patents at the end of each reporting period. Based upon the Company's review, there was no0 patent impairment related to continuing operations in 2019 or 2018.2019. Based upon the Company's review in 2020 it was determined that 4 of the patents are related to business areas that will no longer be pursued by the Company. The recorded value of these patents of $71 thousand was written off in 2020. In addition, a 5th patent was similarly identified and determined that it is of value to an identified third party. The Company is currently in negotiations to sell this patent and has determined that legal work of approximately $50 thousand would be necessary to prepare the patent for sale. The Company recorded a contra asset in the amount of $50 thousand related to this patent, which reduced the amount of the patent held for sale from $206 thousand to $156 thousand.

Other intangible assets consist of vivoPharm’s customer list and trade name, which are allhistorically were amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of ten years. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” provides guidance for the impairment of long-lived assets that are classified as held and used. In particular, the relevant guidance is included in the “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Asset” subsections of ASC 360-10. Long-lived assets are required to be tested for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset group to which they belong may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable, an impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over the fair value of the asset group. VivoPharm experienced an operating loss of approximately $1.5 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020 which was determined to be an indicator of impairment. Based upon the actual results for the first two months of the 2021 fiscal year, the Company updated the forecasted the operating results for the period from 2021 through 2026, the amortization period of the Company’s intangible assets and determine that the fair value of the intangible assets which was calculated using the present value of future cashflows, did not support its carrying value resulting in an impairment charge of $2.1 million, which was recorded in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Research and development: Research and development costs are associated with the Company's allocation of loss from its joint venture described in Note 19. All research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred.
Stock-based compensation: Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. See additional information in Note 14.

12.
All issuances of stock options or other issuances of equity instruments to employees as the consideration for services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued.
Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments. The fair value of warrants recorded as derivative liabilities, the note payable to VenturEast, the Earn-Out from siParadigm, and the Excess Consideration Note are described in Notes 1614 and 17.15.
Joint venture accounted for under the equity method: The Company records its joint venture investment following the equity method of accounting, reflecting its initial investment in the joint venture and its share of the joint venture’s net earnings or losses and distributions. The Company’s share of the joint venture’s net loss was $0 and $154 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is included in research and development expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss. The Company has a net receivable due from the joint venture of $10 thousand at both December 31, 2019 and 2018, which is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See additional information in Note 19.
Subsequent events: The Company has evaluated potential subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued within our Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Recent Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance codified in ASC 842, Leases, which supersedes the guidance in former ASC 840, Leases, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements (with the exception of short-term leases). In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-11 to the existing transition guidance that allows entities to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the period of adoption. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 using this new transition guidance. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those periods.
The Company has elected to use the package of practical expedients, which allows it to not (1) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (2) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) reassess the initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment.
The most significant impact of adopting ASC 842 is related to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease obligations for operating leases. The Company's accounting for finance leases remains substantially unchanged. The adoption of ASC 842 had no impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations or total cash flows from operations.
The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's consolidated January 1, 2019 balance sheet for the adoption of ASC 842 was as follows (in thousands):
  As of December 31, 2018 Adjustment for Adoption of ASC 842 As of January 1, 2019

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment,” which removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill

impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company adopted this standard July 1, 2019. Because the Company adopted ASU 2017-04, the Company did not have to fair value all of its assets and liabilities to determine the amount of goodwill impairment. Instead the Company impaired goodwill for the difference between the fair value of the Company and the book value of the Company’s stockholders’ equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The standard will become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating whether it will early adopt. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarified that before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method of accounting for an investment in equity securities, an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the fair value measurement alternative. The amended guidance will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform due to the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly referred to as “LIBOR.” The temporary guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, relationships, and
60

Table of Contents
transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The provisions of the temporary optional guidance are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate reform activity is expected to be substantially complete. When adopted, entities may apply the provisions as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements and has yet to elect an adoption date.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments in this update do not change U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are not expected to result in a significant change in practice. Section A was removed from the final update of ASU 2020-10. Section B of this update contains amendments that improve the consistency of the Codification by including all disclosure guidance in the appropriate Disclosure Section (Section 50). Section C of this update contains Codification improvements that vary in nature. Management does not expect that adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Earnings (loss) per share: Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the numerator is adjusted for the change in fair value of the warrant liability (only if dilutive) and the denominator is increased to include the number of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. For all periods presented, all common stock equivalents outstanding were anti-dilutive.


The following table summarizes potentially dilutive adjustments to the weighted average number of common shares which were excluded from the calculation (in thousands):

Note 4. Discontinuing Operations

As described in Note 1, the Company sold its India subsidiary, BioServe, in April 2018 and its BioPharma Business and Clinical Business in July 2019. In conjunction with the BioPharma Disposal, the Company repaid its debt to SVB and PFG. The Company elected to allocate $1.5 million and $389 thousand of interest expense from the Convertible Note to Iliad and Advance from NDX to discontinuing operations during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Operating Leases


The Company leases its laboratory, research facility and administrative office space under various operating leases. Following the Business Disposals, the Company assigned its office leases in North Carolina and New Jersey to the Buyer. At

Table of Contents
December 31, 2019,2020, the Company has approximately 5,800 square feet in Hershey, Pennsylvania and 1,959 square feet in Bundoora, Australia. The Company has escalating lease agreements for its Pennsylvania and Australia spaces, which expire in November 2020January 2022 and June 2021, respectively. These leases require monthly rent with periodic rent increases. The difference between minimum rent and straight-line rent was recorded as deferred rent payable until the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, as described in Note 1. The terms of the Company's former New Jersey lease required that a $350 thousand security deposit for the facility be held in a stand by letter of credit in favor of the landlord (see Note 9)7). In addition, under the assignment of leases related to the Company's New Jersey headquarters, the Buyer became obligated to replace the $350 thousand letter of credit held by the New Jersey landlord and secured by the Company's cash collateral in August 2019; however, the letter of credit was not replaced until April 2020. The cash collateral was released on May 20, 2020.


The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, obligations under operating leases, current portion, and obligations under operating leases, less current portion on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.


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


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

The components of operating and finance lease expense were as follows for the year ended December 31, 2019 for continuing operations (in thousands):

Finance lease cost:  
Amortization of right-of use assets $35
Interest on lease liabilities 13
Operating lease cost 220
Short-term lease cost 109

Note 8.6. Financing

Convertible Note

On July 17, 2018, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. (“Iliad”), with an initial principal amount of $2.6 million (“Convertible Note”). The Company received consideration of $2.5 million, reflecting an original issue discount of $100 thousand and expenses payable by the Company of $25 thousand. The Convertible Note had an 18-month term and carried interest at 10% per annum. The note was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $24.00 per share upon 5 trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments (standard dilution) and ownership limitations specified in the Convertible Note and resulted in a beneficial conversion feature discount of $328 thousand at inception.

Iliad could redeem any portion of the Convertible Note, at any time after six months from the issue date upon 5 trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $650 thousand, with the Company having the option to pay such redemptions in cash, the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price, or by a combination thereof, subject to certain conditions, including that the stock price is $30.00 per share or higher. At maturity, the Company could pay the outstanding balance in cash, the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price, or by a combination thereof, subject to certain conditions. The

Convertible Note provided that in the event of default, the lender may, at its option, elect to increase the outstanding balance applying the default effect (defined as outstanding balance at date of default multiplied by 15% plus outstanding amount) by providing written notice to the Company. In addition, the interest rate increases to 22% upon default. The default effect and default interest rate provisions qualified as embedded derivatives with an estimated fair value of $55 thousand at December 31, 2018.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a standstill agreement with Iliad, which among other things, provided that Iliad would not seek to redeem any portion of the Convertible Note prior to April 15, 2019 and, as consideration for the standstill, increased the outstanding balance of the note by $202 thousand. In May 2019, Iliad agreed to a second standstill until May 31, 2019. As consideration, the conversion price was reduced to $6.82 for $1.3 million of the balance of the Convertible Note; the remainder was still convertible at $24.00. The reduction in the conversion price increased the fair value of the embedded conversion option by $547 thousand. The future cash flows of the Convertible Note changed by more than 10% as a result of the second standstill, so the Company amortized the remaining debt discount and debt issuance costs of $37 thousand, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $584 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2019, of which $328 thousand was allocated to discontinuing operations. Loss on debt extinguishment allocated to continuing operations was recorded in interest expense.

As of June 20, 2019, the Company was in default on the Convertible Note. The Convertible Note began accruing interest at the default rate and the outstanding balance was increased by the default effect ($409 thousand) upon the notice of default.

In May 2019, Iliad converted $350 thousand of the Convertible Note into an aggregate of 51 thousand shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $6.82 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued 174 thousand shares of common stock to Iliad in exchange for the return of $612 thousand of principal amounts due under the Convertible Note using the exchange date fair market value of the Company's common stock. In October 2019, the Convertible Note was settled for $2.7 million, in cash, including accrued interest of $439 thousand. Of this settlement, $1.3 million was paid directly by Atlas Sciences, LLC ("Atlas Sciences") through the issuance of a new note payable to Atlas Sciences described below.

The Convertible Note was the general unsecured obligation of the Company. At December 31, 2019, the Convertible Note had a balance of $0. At December 31, 2018, the Convertible Note had a balance of $2.5 million, net of discounts and unamortized debt issuance costs of $136 thousand and $8 thousand, respectively. The effective interest rate during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, was 70% and 40%. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred $420 thousand and $347 thousand, respectively, of contractual interest and amortization of the beneficial conversion feature. In addition, the Company incurred $40 thousand of amortization of other debt discounts and issuance costs, $202 thousand of standstill fees, $409 thousand of default penalties, and $547 thousand of additional cost related to reducing the conversion price on a portion of the debt during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company incurred $85 thousand of amortization of other debt discounts and issuance costs during the year ended December 31, 2018.


Advance from NovellusDx, Ltd.NDX.


On September 18, 2018, the Company entered into ana merger agreement and plan of merger (“Merger Agreement”) with NovellusDx, Ltd. (“NDX”).NDX. In connection with signing the Merger Agreement,merger agreement, NDX loaned the Company $1.5 million. Interest originally accrued on the outstanding balance at 10.75% per annum (“Advance from NDX”), and the advance was to mature upon the earlier of March 31, 2019 or the date on which the Merger Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms (or ninety days thereafter in the case of certain causes for termination). Upon certain events of default, NDX would be able to convert all, but not less than all, of the outstanding balance into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $18.18 per share, which qualified as a contingent beneficial conversion feature that would only be recognized if a default occurred.

On December 15, 2018, the Company terminated the Merger Agreement. As a result, the Advance from NDX, plus interest thereon, became due and payable on March 15, 2019, and the interest rate was increased to 21% due to an event of default. As a result of the default, the Company recognized the beneficial conversion feature discount of $1.2 million. The default interest rate provision qualified as an embedded derivative with an estimated fair value of $31 thousand at December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2018, the principal balance of the Credit Agreement was $1.5 million, which is presented net of the unamortized beneficial conversion feature of $965 thousand in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Prior to the NDX Settlement Agreement, defined in the next paragraph, the effective interest rate on the Advance from NDX was 81% and 69% during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company recognized $1.2 million and $261 thousand of interest and amortization of the beneficial conversion feature during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Of these amounts, $637 thousand and $147 thousand are included in discontinued operations.

On October 21, 2019, the Company and NDX entered into a settlement agreement (“NDX Settlement Agreement”). The NDX Settlement Agreement required the Company to pay $100 thousand on the date of execution and $1.0 million upon receipt of proceeds from the Excess Consideration Note. The $1.0 million payment was made in October 2019. As a result of such payment,

pursuant to the NDX Settlement Agreement, the balance of the Advance from NDX was reduced from $708 thousand to $450 thousand and each party released the other from all claims under the original credit agreement and the Merger Agreement. The remaining amount due iswas to be paid in nine monthly payments of $50 thousand commencing in November 2019. If the Company fails to make any of the required monthly payments, NDX may convert all, but not less than all, of the amounts then owing into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $4.50 per share. The NDX Settlement Agreement adjusted the interest rate of the obligation to 0%. TheIn July 2020, the Company recognized a gainpaid the final $50 thousand on troubled debt restructuring relating to the NDX Settlement Agreement of $258 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2019. The gain was the difference between the book value of the debt at settlement and the future payments due.

The Advance from NDX is the general unsecured obligation of the Company. At December 31, 2019, the Advance from NDX had a principal balanceNDX.

The Company holds several patents that are considered intangible assets and are subject to amortization. During the 4th quarter of 2020 management reviewed the Company’s patent portfolio and determined that 4 of the patents ("New Jersey patents") are related to business areas that will no longer be pursued by the Company. In addition, a fifth patent known as the TOO patent was similarly identified and determined that it would be held for sale. The Company wrote off the net book value of the New Jersey patents in the amount of $71 thousand and recorded a contra asset of $50 thousand as an estimate to prepare the TOO asset for sale. The book value of the TOO patent held for sale was $156 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020 and is recorded as a current asset.
The customer list and trade name in the table above include foreign currency translation adjustments that were de minimusminimis during the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019. Other intangible assets consisted of vivoPharm’s customer list and trade name, which historically were amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of ten years. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” provides guidance for the impairment of long-lived assets that are classified as held and used. In particular, the relevant guidance is included in the “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Asset” subsections of ASC 360-10. Long-lived assets are required to be tested for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset group to which they belong may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable, an impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over the fair value of the asset group. VivoPharm experienced an operating loss of approximately $1.5 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020 which was determined to be an indicator of impairment. Based upon the actual results for the first two months of the 2021 fiscal year, the Company updated the forecasted operating results for the period from 2021 through 2026, the amortization period of the Company’s intangible assets and determine that the fair value of the intangible assets which was calculated using the present value of future cashflows, did not support its carrying value resulting in an impairment charge of $2.1 million, which was recorded in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Amortization expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $462 thousand and 2018 was $454 thousand, and $491 thousand, respectively. Future amortization expense for patents and other intangible assets, is estimated as follows (in thousands):

Due to a history of losses the Company has generated since inception, the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized as of December 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019. Therefore, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the federal net operating losses incurred after 2017 will have an indefinite carryforward. At December 31, 2019,2020, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $117.5$120.6 million, of which $98.9 million could expire over time, beginning in 2027, if not used. At December 31, 2019,2020, the Company has $2.7$3.7 million of Australian net operating loss carryforwards and $18.2$20.1 million of New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2019,2020, the Company also had $1.8 million of federal research and development tax credits, which expire in varying amounts between the years 20202021 and 2038. Utilization of these carryforwards is subject to limitation due to ownership changes that may delay the utilization of a portion of the carryforwards.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the fair value of the Company's common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, 0 options were exercised.

As of December 31, 2020, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted to employees was $62 thousand for continuing operations, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 1.08 years.

The fair value of options granted to employees is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This valuation model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term (the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the Company's common stock, a risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The Company records forfeitures of unvested stock options when they occur. No compensation cost is recorded for options that do not vest. The Company used the simplified calculation of expected life described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment, and volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. The Company uses an expected dividend yield of 0, as it does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

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

Note 15. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, the Topic establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that give the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the warrant liability consists of stock warrants issued as part of the 2016 Offerings that contain contingent redemption features. At December 31, 2018, the warrant liability also included warrants issued as part of the 2017 Offering that contained contingent redemption features until they expired in June 2019. In accordance with derivative accounting for warrants, the Company calculated the fair value of warrants and the assumptions used are described in Note 14, “Fair Value of Warrants.” Realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability are included in other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss.

At December 31, 2019, the Company had a note payable to VenturEast from a prior acquisition. The ultimate repayment of the note will be the value of and 3 thousand shares of common stock at the time of payment. The value of the note payable to VenturEast was determined using the fair value of the Company's common stock at the reporting date. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized gains of $4 thousand and $136 thousand, respectively, due to the changes in value of the note. Realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the VenturEast note are included in other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss.

In January 2020, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with VenturEast to satisfy the Company’s outstanding liability, which resulted in the Company issuing 3 thousand restricted shares of common stock, and making 2 lump sum payments of $50 thousand each for a total cash settlement of $100 thousand.
The Earn-Out, to be paid over the 24 months post-closing, is based on fees for all tests performed by siParadigm for the Company’s clinical customers during the 12-month period following the closing (the “Earn-Out”). The Company has netted the Earn-out and Advance from siParadigm as of September 30, 2020 as all amounts are fixed and determinable and the Company and siParadigm intend to offset. At December 31, 2020, the net Earn-Out receivable from siParadigm was approximately $91 thousand.

On November 13, 2020, a purported stockholder of CGI filed a complaint against CGI, the chief executive officer of CGI and the directors of CGI in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled, Scott Sawin v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al. The complaint (the “Sawin Complaint”) alleges that CGI’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, as filed with the SEC on October 16, 2020 related to the merger (the “Prior Registration Statement”), omitted to disclose certain material information allegedly necessary to make statements made in the Prior Registration Statement not misleading and/or false, in violation of Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, and alleges breach of fiduciary duty of candor/disclosure. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, enjoining the merger until the defendants to the applicable lawsuit disclose the alleged omitted material information, and costs, among other remedies.

On November 19, 2020, a purported stockholder of CGI filed a complaint against CGI and the directors of CGI in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled, Carlos Juan Pastrana v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al.

On January 27, 2021, a purported stockholder of CGI filed a complaint against CGI and the directors of CGI in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, entitled, Joseph Sheridan v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al. Each of the foregoing seven complaints allege facts and seek relief substantially similar to the Sawin Complaint.

CGI believes that the claims asserted in the lawsuits described above are without merit and intends to vigorously defend CGI, CGI Acquisition, Inc. and the director and officer defendants against these claims, as applicable, however, there can be no assurance that the defendants will prevail in such lawsuits. CGI is not able to estimate any possible loss from these litigations at this time. It is possible that additional lawsuits may be filed in connection with the merger.

In November 2020, vivoPharm Pty Ltd received a letter from counsel for a customer of vivoPharm alleging entitlement to a refund of prepayments made under a master services agreement in the sum of approximately $306 thousand. Counsel for vivoPharm responded and denied any liability. In February 2021 counsel for the customer repeated its claim and stated its intent to commence litigation if the matter were not resolved. Counsel for vivoPharm responded by repeating its denial of any liability but offering to pay $60 thousand to resolve the matter. No litigation has been commenced to date.

Note 17. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, the Topic establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that give the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

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

At December 31, 2018, the warrant liability also included warrants issued as part of the 2017 Offering that contained contingent redemption features until they expired in June 2019. In accordance with derivative accounting for warrants, the Company calculated the fair value of warrants and the assumptions used are described in Note 16, “Fair Value of Warrants.” Realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability are included in other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss.

In January 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with VenturEast, which is described in Note 21.
At December 31, 2019, the Company had an earn-out receivable from siParadigm that is based on tests performed by siParadigm for the Company's former Clinical Business customers between July 5, 2019 and July 4, 2020, as discussed in Note 1. The value of the earn-out is based on actual tests performed through December 31, 2019 and the Company's estimate of tests to be performed through the remainder of the earn-out period.

Note 18. Contingencies

On April 5, 2018 and April 12, 2018, purported stockholders of the Company filed nearly identical putative class action lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, against the Company, Panna L. Sharma, John A. Roberts, and Igor Gitelman,

captioned Ben Phetteplace v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al., No. 2:18-cv-05612 and Ruo Fen Zhang v. Cancer Genetics, Inc. et al., No. 2:18-06353, respectively. The complaints alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company's business, operational, and financial results. The lawsuits sought, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages in connection with purchases of the Company's stock between March 23, 2017 and April 2, 2018, as well as interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs. On August 28, 2018, the Court consolidated the two actions in one action captioned In re Cancer Genetics, Inc. Securities Litigation (the “Securities Litigation”) and appointed shareholder Randy Clark as the lead plaintiff. On October 30, 2018, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, adding Edward Sitar as a defendant and seeking, among other things, compensatory damages in connection with purchases of CGI stock between March 10, 2016 and April 2, 2018. On December 31, 2018, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim. The Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss during the oral argument and on February 25, 2020, the Court issued a written order dismissing the case with prejudice. The Lead Plaintiff has not appealed the dismissal.

In addition, on June 1, 2018, September 20, 2018, and September 25, 2018, purported stockholders of the Company filed nearly identical derivative lawsuits on behalf of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company (as a nominal defendant) and current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors and current and former officers of the Company. The three cases are captioned: Bell v. Sharma et al., No. 2:18-cv-10009-CCC-MF, McNeece v. Pappajohn et al., No. 2:18-cv-14093, and Workman v. Pappajohn, et al., No. 2:18-cv-14259 (the “Derivative Litigation”). The complaints allege claims for breach of fiduciary duty, violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (premised upon alleged omissions in the Company’s 2017 proxy statement), and unjust enrichment, and allege that the individual defendants failed to implement and maintain adequate controls, which resulted in ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, and conspired to conceal this alleged failure. The lawsuits seek, among other things, damages and/or restitution to the Company, appropriate equitable relief to remedy the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On November 9, 2018, the Court in the Bell v. Sharma action entered a stipulation filed by the parties staying the Bell action until the Securities Litigation is dismissed, with prejudice, and all appeals have been exhausted; or the defendants’ motion to dismiss in the Securities Litigation is denied in whole or in part; or either of the parties in the Bell action gives 30 days’ notice that they no longer consent to the stay. On December 10, 2018, the parties in the McNeece action filed a stipulation that is substantially identical to the Bell stipulation. On February 1, 2019, the Court in the Workman action granted a stipulation that is substantially identical to the Bell stipulation. On May 15, 2020, the plaintiff’s in the Workman action filed a notice of voluntary dismissal to the original action. The plaintiff’s in the McNeece action sent an identical notice that they intend to file a similar notice of voluntary dismissal to their original action.Based upon the above dismissal of the securities class action litigation, the Company anticipates the plaintiffs in the remaining derivative lawsuit may voluntarily dismiss their action as well. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the Derivative Litigation and therefore cannot estimate possible losses or ranges of losses, if any. The Company is expensing legal costs associated with the loss contingency as incurred.

Note 19. Joint Venture Agreement


In November 2011, the Company entered into an affiliation agreement with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”), subsequently amended. Under the agreement, the Company formed a joint venture with Mayo in May 2013 to focus on developing oncology diagnostic services and tests utilizing next generation sequencing. The joint venture is a limited liability company, with each party initially holding fifty50 percent of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the new entity (the “JV”). In exchange for its membership interest in the JV, the Company made an initial capital contribution of $1.0 million in October 2013. In addition, the Company issued 10 thousand shares of its common stock to Mayo pursuant to the affiliation agreement and recorded an expense of $175 thousand.

The Company also recorded additional expense of $231 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2013 related to shares issued to Mayo in November of 2011 as the JV achieved certain performance milestones. In the third quarter of 2014 the Company made an additional $1.0 million capital contribution.

The agreement also requires aggregate total capital contributions by the Company of up to an additional $4.0 million. The timing of the remaining installments was subject to the JV's achievement of certain operational milestones agreed upon by the board of governors of the JV. In exchange for its membership interest, Mayo’s capital contribution will take the form of cash, staff, services, hardware and software resources, laboratory space and instrumentation, the fair market value of which will be equal to $6.0 million. Mayo’s continued contribution will also be conditioned upon the JV’s achievement of certain milestones. During 2018, the Company receivedhas a cash distributionnet receivable due from the JV of $150 thousand.approximately $56 thousand at December 31, 2020, which is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The JV was dissolved effective February 14, 2020, and the dissolution terms includeincluded an estimated final cash distribution from the JV to the Company of $89$92 thousand, to be paid as soon as practicable. The Company received the first payment of $36 thousand in April 2020, which is consistent with the dissolution terms. The remaining cash distribution of $56 thousand was received in 2021. There was no other activity during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.


The joint venture is considered a variable interest entity under ASC 810-10, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary

(“PFG”), Interpace Biosciences, Inc. (“IDXG”) and a newly-formed subsidiary of IDXG, Interpace BioPharma, Inc. (“Buyer”). The BioPharma Agreement provided for a consensual private foreclosure sale by PFG of all assets relating to the Company’s BioPharma Business (as defined in the BioPharma Agreement) to Buyer (the “BioPharma Disposal”).

Pursuant to the BioPharma Agreement, Buyer purchased from PFG certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Company relating to the BioPharma Business, providing as gross consideration $23.5 million, less certain closing adjustments totaling $2.0 million, of which $7.7 million was settled in the form of a promissory note issued by Buyer to the Company (the “Excess Consideration Note”) and the remainder was paid to PFG in cash. PFG utilized the cash proceeds to satisfy the outstanding balances of the Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) asset-based revolving line of credit (“ABL”) and the $6.0 million term note to PFG (“PFG Term Note”), and to satisfy certain transaction expenses. The balance of $2.3 million was delivered to the Company in addition to the Excess Consideration Note.

with the Company’s clinical laboratory business (the “Clinical Business,” and such assets, the “Designated Assets”), and agreed to cease operating its Clinical Business. The Designated Assets include intellectual property, equipment and customer lists associated with the Clinical Business, and for a period of time the Company was providing certain transitional services to siParadigm pursuant to the Clinical Agreement. The cash consideration paid by siParadigm at closing was $747 thousand, which includes $45 thousand for certain equipment plus a $1.0 million advance payment of the Earn-Out (as defined below), less $298 thousand of supplier invoices paid directly by siParadigm, an adjustment of $11 thousand and transaction costs of $110 thousand. The Clinical Business sale (together with the sale of BioServe and the BioPharma Disposal, the “Business Disposals”) was completed on July 8, 2019.

The Clinical Business disposal resulted in the following:
Consideration received:
Cash received at closing$747 
Fair value of Earn-Out from siParadigm2,376 
Advance from siParadigm received in cash(1,000)
$2,123 
Net assets sold:
Goodwill$1,188 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses(287)
$901 
Gain on disposal of Clinical Business$1,222 

The Earn-Out, to be paid over the 24 months post-closing, is based on fees for all tests performed by siParadigm for the Company’s clinical customers during the 12-month period following the closing (the “Earn-Out”). siParadigm withholds a set percentage from each monthly earn-out payment remitted to the Company expensed $80as repayment of the Advance from siParadigm. The percentage withheld was 25% for earn-out payments for July through September 2019; siParadigm began withholding 75% from the earn-out payments for October 2019 and will continue withholding 75% each month until the Advance from siParadigm is paid in full. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of the current and long-term portion of the Earn-Out from siParadigm was $747 thousand and $356 thousand, respectively. In addition, the current and long-term portion of the Advance from siParadigm was $566 thousand and $252 thousand, respectively. The Company has netted the Earn-out and advance from siParadigm as December 31, 2020 as all amounts are fixed and determinable and the Company and SiParadigm intend to offset. At December 31, 2020 the net Earn-out receivable was approximately $91 thousand.

Under the Clinical Agreement, the Company agreed to certain non-competition and non-solicitation provisions, including that it will cease performing certain clinical tests and will not solicit or seek business from certain of its customers (other than for the Company’s other lines of business) for a period of three years following the closing date.

The Business Disposals have been classified as discontinuing operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, the operations and balances of the Company's BioPharma and Clinical operations have been reported as discontinuing operations and removed from all financial disclosures of continuing operations. As permitted by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, the Company elected to allocate $1.5 million of interest expense from the Convertible Note to Iliad and Advance from NDX to discontinuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2018 related2019. The interest was allocated based on the ratio of net assets sold less debt required to this agreement.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. In addition, as the Company is located in New Jersey, it is currently under a shelter-in-place mandate and many of its customers worldwide are similarly impacted. The global outbreak of the COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve, and the extent to which the COVID-19 may impact the Company's business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries, business closures or business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease. As a healthcare provider, the Company is still providing Discovery Services and has yet to experience a

slowdown in its project work, however, the future of many projects may be delayed. The Company continues to vigilantly monitor the situation with its primary focus on the health and safety of its employees and clients.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.


The Company evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), as amended) as of December 31, 2019,2020, the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at December 31, 2019.2020. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and were operating in an effective manner for the period covered by this report, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or the person performing similar functions as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.


Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.


The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and directors; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because of declines in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. . In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).


In connection with this assessment, the Company reports the material weakness, as described below, in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.2020. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement for the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of the material weakness described below, and based on management’s assessment, as of December 31, 2019,2020, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective:


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

80

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as follows:

Accounting for foreign currency exchange rate:potential impairment of intangible assets: The Company’sCompany's accounting for foreign currency exchange ratesthe potential impairment of intangible assets requires that the Company make certain adjustments on its subsidiary ledgers to record certain transactions denominatedan impairment charge if the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable and is in a foreign currency in transactions between its U.S. and Australian subsidiaries. Although management does perform overall reviewexcess of its intercompany transactions between its foreign locations, the controls designed to identify material misstatements did not operate at a sufficient

level of precision to prevent or detect such errors in its determination of these transactions. Management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness at December 31, 2019.

Accounting for the Company’s investments: The Company’s accounting for the fair value of the asset group. The Company provided for audit an investment accountedundiscounted cash flow analysis to support its assessment of indicators of impairment of intangible assets which included assumptions for underrevenue growth and expected gross margins that were inconsistent with the cost method requireshistorical experience of the Company and could not be further supported with underlying evidence to adjustsupport the Company’s projections and came to the incorrect conclusion of the recoverability of the asset group. As a result of the audit the Company revised its projections and used historical evidence pertaining to the base revenue amount, growth rates, and gross margins, which resulted in negative undiscounted cash flows. The Company determined that the fair value of such investments if there is an observable price change in the investment. The Companyasset group was less than the carrying value and recorded an increase in the fair valueimpairment charge of an investment accounted for under the cost method based on an “observable price change,” however,approximately $2.1 million. If this adjustment was not identified by our auditors we believe that this adjustment would not have been detected. As a result, the Company could not provide underlying supporting evidenceconcluded that this deficiency in our internal controls over financial reporting would give rise to the level of a material weakness.

Material Weakness Remediation

As previously reported, management recognized that the price change during the 2019 audit procedures, and, therefore,Company had insufficient evidence to record an increasematerial weaknesses in the investment in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Remediation plan and procedures: Management is committed to remediating the material weaknesses. The Company began the process of implementing changes to its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 related to remediateaccounting for foreign currency exchange rate and accounting for the control deficiencies that gave riseCompany’s investments.

Subsequent to the material weaknesses, including furtherevaluation made in connection with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, management implemented improvements in processes and analyses that support the recording of foreign currency exchanges and the fair value of investments. In 2020,investments, and management plans to includealso implemented additional journal entry review procedures to enhance its remediation efforts.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

By December 31, 2019,procedures. As a result of these efforts, the Company's clinical services business had been sold to siParadigm, LLC. The Company's previously noted material weakness overCompany determined that the accounting for uncollectible clinical services revenue was remediated with this transaction.

Other than the previously disclosed material weaknesses specifically identified for 2018 and 2019 above, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.remediated.

Item 12.Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.


Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management


The following table sets forth certain information as of AprilMarch 23, 20202021 with respect to the beneficial ownership of common stock of the Company by the following: (i) each of the Company’s current directors; (ii) each of the named executive officers; (iii) all of the current executive officers and directors as a group; and (iv) each person known by the Company to own beneficially more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
For purposes of the following table, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the applicable SEC rules and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Except as otherwise noted in the footnotes to the table, the Company believes that each person or entity named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of the Company’s common stock shown as beneficially owned by that person or entity (or shares such power with his or her spouse). Under the SEC’s rules, shares of the Company’s common stock issuable under options that are exercisable on or within 60 days after AprilMarch 23, 20202021 (“Presently Exercisable Options”) are deemed outstanding and therefore included in the number of shares reported as beneficially owned by a person or entity named in the table and are used to compute the percentage of the common stock beneficially owned by that person or entity. These shares are not, however, deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the common stock beneficially owned by any other person or entity.
 
The percentage of the common stock beneficially owned by each person or entity named in the following table is based on 2,107,59811,007,186 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of AprilMarch 23, 20202021 plus any shares issuable upon exercise of Presently Exercisable Options held by such person or entity.
