1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Business Description
Precipio, Inc., and Subsidiary, (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Precipio”) is a cancer diagnostics company providing diagnostic products and services to the oncology market. We have built and continue to develop a platform designed to eradicate the problem of misdiagnosis by harnessing the intellect, expertise and technology developed within academic institutions and delivering quality diagnostic information to physicians and their patients worldwide. We operate a cancer diagnostic laboratory located in New Haven, Connecticut and have partnered with the Yale School of Medicine to capture the expertise, experience and technologies developed within academia so that we can provide a better standard of cancer diagnostics and solve the growing problem of cancer misdiagnosis. We also operate a research and development facility in Omaha, Nebraska which will focus on further development of ICE-COLD-PCR (“ICP”), the patented technology which was exclusively licensed by us from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. (“Dana-Farber”) at Harvard University (“Harvard”). The research and development center will focus on the development of this technology, which we believe will enable us to commercialize other technologies developed by our current and future academic partners. Our platform connects patients, physicians and diagnostic experts residing within academic institutions. Launched in 2017, the platform facilitates the following relationships:
Patients: patients may search for physicians in their area and consult directly with academic experts that are on the platform. Patients may also have access to new academic discoveries as they become commercially available.
Physicians: physicians can connect with academic experts to seek consultations on behalf of their patients and may also provide consultations for patients in their area seeking medical expertise in that physician’s relevant specialty. Physicians will also have access to new diagnostic solutions to help improve diagnostic accuracy.
Academic Experts: academic experts on the platform can make themselves available for patients or physicians seeking access to their expertise. Additionally, these experts have a platform available to commercialize their research discoveries.
We intend to continue updating our platform to allow for patient-to-patient communications and allow individuals to share stories and provide support for one another, to allow physicians to consult with their peers to discuss and share challenges and solutions, and to allow academic experts to interact with others in academia on the platform to discuss their research and cross-collaborate.
ICP was developed at Harvard and is licensed exclusively by us from Dana-Farber. The technology enables the detection of genetic mutations in liquid biopsies, such as blood samples. The field of liquid biopsies is a rapidly growing market, aimed at solving the challenge of obtaining genetic information on disease progression and changes from sources other than a tumor biopsy.
Gene sequencing is performed on tissue biopsies taken surgically from the tumor site in order to identify potential therapies that will be more effective in treating the patient. There are several limitations to this process. First, surgical procedures have several limitations, including:
· | Cost: surgical procedures are usually performed in a costly hospital environment. For example, according to a recent study the mean cost of lung biopsies is greater than $14,000; surgery also involves hospitalization and recovery time. |
6 |
· | Surgical access: various tumor sites are not always accessible (e.g. brain tumors), in which cases no biopsy is available for diagnosis. |
· | Risk: patient health may not permit undergoing an invasive surgery; therefore a biopsy cannot be obtained at all. |
· | Time: the process of scheduling and coordinating a surgical procedure often takes time, delaying the start of patient treatment. |
Second, there are several tumor-related limitations that provide a challenge to obtaining such genetic information from a tumor:
· | Tumors are heterogeneous by nature: a tissue sample from one area of the tumor may not properly represent the tumor’s entire genetic composition; thus, the diagnostic results from a tumor may be incomplete and non-representative. |
· | Metastases: in order to accurately test a patient with metastatic disease, ideally an individual biopsy sample should be taken from each site (if those sites are even known). These biopsies are very difficult to obtain; therefore physicians often rely on biopsies taken from the primary tumor site. |
The advent of technologies enabling liquid biopsies as an alternative to tumor biopsy and analysis is based on the fact that tumors (both primary and metastatic) shed cells and fragments of DNA into the blood stream. These blood samples are called “liquid biopsies” that contain circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA, which hold the same genetic information found in the tumor(s). That tumor DNA is the target of genetic analysis. However, since the quantity of tumor DNA is very small in proportion to the “normal” (or “healthy”) DNA within the blood stream, there is a need to identify and separate the tumor DNA from the normal DNA.
ICP is an enrichment technology that enables the laboratory to focus its analysis on the tumor DNA by enriching, and thereby “multiplying” the presence of, tumor DNA, while maintaining the normal DNA at its same level. Once the enrichment process has been completed, the laboratory genetic testing equipment is able to identify genetic abnormalities presented in the ctDNA, and an analysis can be conducted at a higher level of sensitivity, to enable the detection of such genetic abnormalities. The technology is encapsulated into a chemical that is provided in the form of a kit and sold to other laboratories who wish to conduct these tests in-house. The chemical within the kit is added to the specimen preparation process, enriching the sample for the tumor DNA so that the analysis will detect those genetic abnormalities.
Merger Transaction
On June 29, 2017, the Company (then known as “Transgenomic, Inc.”, or “Transgenomic”), completed a reverse merger (the “Merger”) with Precipio Diagnostics, LLC, a privately held Delaware limited liability company (“Precipio Diagnostics”) in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated October 12, 2016, as amended on February 2, 2017 and June 29, 2017, by and among Transgenomic, Precipio Diagnostics and New Haven Labs Inc. (“Merger Sub”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transgenomic. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Precipio Diagnostics, with Precipio Diagnostics surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the combined company (See Note 3 - Reverse Merger). In connection with the Merger, the Company changed its name from Transgenomic, Inc. to Precipio, Inc., relisted its common stock under Precipio, Inc. on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“NASDAQ”), and effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of its common stock.company. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the historical financial statements of Precipio Diagnostics become the Company's historical financial statements. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Precipio Diagnostics are included in the comparative prior periods. As a result of the Merger, historical preferred stock, common stock, restricted units, warrants and additional paid-in capital, including share and per share amounts, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the equity structure of the combined company, including the effect of the Merger exchange ratio. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of capital stockunit of Precipio DiagnosticDiagnostics was exchanged for 10.2502 pre-reverse stock split shares of Company Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”). See Note 3 - Reverse Merger for additional discussion of the Merger.Stock.

Going Concern
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable for a going concern, which assume that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and has used cash in its operating activities for the past severalfew years. As of June 30, 2017,2018, the Company had a net loss of $4.4$5.3 million, and negative working capital of $14.5$8.1 million and net cash used in operating activities of $3.6 million. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of this Form 10-Q is dependent upon a combination of achieving its business plan, including generating additional revenue, and raising additional financing to meet its debt obligations and paying liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned circumstances, there remains substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the Form 10-Q. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully achieve its initiatives summarized above in order to continue as a going concern.concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the Form 10-Q. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern as a result of the outcome of this uncertainty.
Nasdaq Delisting Notice
On March 26, 2018, Precipio, Inc. received written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of Precipio’s common stock, and its common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PRPO” at this time. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Precipio has a period of 180 calendar days, or until September 24, 2018 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and consider its available options to resolve its noncompliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance requiresCustomers and has subsequently issued supplemental and/or clarifying ASUs (collectively “ASC 606”). ASC 606 outlines a five-step framework that intends to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and eliminate industry-specific guidance. In addition, ASC 606 revises current disclosure requirements in an entityeffort to recognizehelp financial statement users better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. ASC 606 may be applied either retrospectively to which it expectseach prior reporting period presented or use the modified retrospective transition method with the cumulative effect of initial adoption recognized at the date of initial application. We adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2018, by using the modified-retrospective method. An adjustment was not required and a change to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer. ASU No. 2014-09 will replace most existingprior revenue recognition guidance in generally accepted accounting principles inprocess and policy to adopt the U.S. when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date of this new accounting guidance by one year. As a result, ASU No. 2014-09 will be effective for us for all annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption would be permitted as of the original effective date. The new standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We dowas not expect to early adopt this guidancenecessary. See Note 11 – Sales Service Revenue, Net and we have not selected a transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases.Leases. The new standard amends the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases and amends disclosure requirements associated with leasing arrangements. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01,Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU No. 2017-01 adds guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believeadoption of ASU No. 2017-01 willdid not have a material effect on itsthe Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Depreciation expense was $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of the business acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. We perform this impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each year or when a significant event occurs that may indicate that the assets might be impaired. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company experienced a decline in its share price and a reduction in its market capitalization, as such the Company determined that an assessment of goodwill should be performed using the qualitative approach. Based on the qualitative assessment, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company was less than its carry value. As part of its analysis, the Company considered triggering events and compared its fair value with its carrying value. The analysis of the fair value of the Company involved using the discounted cash flow model. Based on the analysis, the Company concluded that its carrying value exceeded its fair value and goodwill impairment in the amount of $0.3 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018. There was no impairment for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $0.3 million and zero for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 2016$0.6 million and zero during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets is expected to be $1.2 million, $1.0 million, $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.9 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discounts.
Debt issuance costs and debt discounts are being amortized over the lives of the related financings on a basis that approximates the effective interest method. Both are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 4 – Long-Term Debt and Convertible Bridge Notes for further information.
Revenue Recognition.
Revenue recognition occurs when a customer obtains control of the promised goods and service. Revenue assigned to the goods and services reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services.
The Company derives its revenues from Diagnostic Testing - histology, flow cytometry, cytology and molecular testing; Clinical Research from bio-pharma customers, state and federal grant programs; and from Biomarker Testing from bio-pharma customers. All sources of revenue are recorded net of accruals for estimated chargebacks, rebates, cash discounts, other allowances, and returns. Due to differences in the substance of these revenue types, the transactions require, and the Company utilizes, different revenue recognition policies for each. See more detailed information on revenue in Note 11 – Sales Service Revenue, Net And Accounts Receivable.
The Company recognizes revenue utilizing the five-step framework of ASC 606. Control of the laboratory testing services is transferred to the customer at a point in time. As such, the Company recognizes revenue for diagnostic testing at a point in time based on the delivery method (web-portal access or fax) for a patient’s laboratory report. Diagnostic testing service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors and others for services rendered, including retroactive adjustment under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. Revenue under third-party payor agreements is subject to audit and retroactive adjustment. Provisions for third-party payor settlements are provided in the period in which the related services are rendered and adjusted in the future periods, as final settlements are determined. For clinical research and biomarker services, the Company utilizes an “effort based” method of assessing performance and measures progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation based upon the delivery of results per the contract.
When we receive payment in advance, we initially defer the revenue and recognize it when we deliver the service. Deferred net sales included in the balance sheet as deferred revenue was $0.1 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government agencies for specific net sales producing transactions are recorded net with no effect on the income statement.
Loss Per Share.
Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants or conversion rights that have exercise or conversion prices below the market value of our common stock. Options, warrants and conversion rights pertaining to 14,128,219 and 2,545,463 shares of our common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, because the effect is anti-dilutive due to the net loss.

Department of Economic and Community Development.
On January 8, 2018, the Company received gross proceeds of $400,000 when it entered into a 10-year term loanan agreement with the Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”) on May 1, 2013 forby which the Company received a grant of $100,000 and a loan of $300,000 with interest paid monthly at 3%, due on April 23, 2023. The loan was secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets but was subordinate to the term loan with Webster Bank and the Connecticut Innovations line of credit. In connection with the Merger, the Company was to pay(the “DECD 2018 Loan”.) The grant is included in full its loan obligations with DECD. The outstanding balance was $225,714 and $243,287 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The outstanding principal and accrued interest balance was paid in full in July 2017.
11 |
Debt issuance costs associated with the DECD 2018 Loan were approximately $31,000. Amortization of the debt issuance cost was approximately $1,000 for the six months ended June 29,30, 2018. Net debt issuance costs were $29,000 at June 30, 2018 and are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Secured Debt Obligations
In 2017, the Company entered into Debt Settlement Agreements (the “Settlement Agreements”) with certain of its accounts payable and accrued liability vendors (the “Creditors”) pursuant to which the Creditors, who were owed $6.3 million (the “Debt Obligations”) by the Company, agreed to reduce and exchange the Debt Obligations for a secured obligation in the amount of $3.2 million, $1.9 million in shares of the Company’s common stock and 108,112 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Debt Obligations were restructured as follows:
· | The Company entered into a scheduled long-term debt repayment agreement of approximately $3.2 million, which includes interest of approximately $0.6 million, to be paid in forty-eight equal monthly installments beginning in July 2018 (the “Secured Debt Obligations”). |
· | Debt Obligations of $1.9 million were canceled in exchange for 1,814,754 shares of the Company’s common stock with a weighted average price per share of $1.04 (the “Settlement Common Shares”). The stock was issued in February 2018. |
· | Warrants to purchase 108,112 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share (the “Creditor Warrants”) were issued to certain Creditors. The Creditor Warrants were issued in February 2018. |
Financed Insurance Loan.
During 2017, the Company financed certain of its insurance premiums (the “Financed Insurance Loan”). The original amount financed in July 2017 was $0.4 million with a 4.99 % interest rate. The Company will make monthly payments through May 2018. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Financed Insurance Loan outstanding balance of zero and $0.2 million, respectively, was included in current maturities of long-term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. A corresponding prepaid asset was included in other current assets.

Convertible Bridge Notes.
On April 20, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2018 Note Agreement”) with certain investors (the “April 2018 Investors”), pursuant to which the Company will issue up to approximately $3,296,702 in Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes along with warrants. (the “Transaction”). The number of warrants will be equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes based on the conversion price at the time of issuance. Half of the warrants will have a one-year term and half will have a five-year term (the “Transaction”). The 2018 Note Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions.
12 |
The Transaction consists of unregistered Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Bridge Notes”), bearing interest at a rate of 8% annually and an original issue discount of 9%. The initial Senior Secured Convertible Notes shall be convertible at a price of $0.50 per share, provided that if the notes are not repaid within 180 days, the conversion price shall be adjusted to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price during the prior 10 days, subject to a minimum conversion price of $0.30 per share. The Transaction consists of a number of drawdowns. The initial closing on April 20, 2018 provided the Company with proceeds of $1,660,000, net of an original issue discount of 9% and before debt issuance costs, for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of $1,824,176 (the “April 2018 Bridge Notes”). Subject to prior stockholder approval, which was obtained in July 2018, the April 2018 Investors funded an additional $348,099 in July 2018 for Bridge Notes with an aggregate principal of $382,526 and the Company shall have the option to draw down two additional tranches of $495,950 each ($545,000 principal amount of Bridge Notes), 120 days following the initial closing and 150 days following the initial closing.
The Bridge Notes are payable by the Company on the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary after the initial closing date or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering, namely the Company raising gross proceeds of at least $7,000,000 (the “Maturity Date”). At any time, provided that the Company gives 5 business days written notice, the Company has the right to redeem the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Notes, including accrued but unpaid interest, all liquidated damages and all other amounts due under the Bridge Notes, for cash as follows: (i) an amount which is equal to the sum of 105% if the Company exercises its right to redeem the Bridge Notes within 90 days of the initial closing, (ii) 110% if the Company exercises its right to redeem the Bridge Notes within 180 days of the initial closing, or (iii) 115% if the Company exercises its right to redeem 180 days from the initial closing.
The terms of the 2018 Note Agreement also stipulates that upon written demand by one of the April 2018 Investors after August 22, 2018, the Company shall file a registration statement within thirty (30) days after written demand covering the resale of all or such portion of the conversion shares for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The registration statement filed shall be on Form S-3 or Form S-1, at the option of the Company. If the Company does not file a registration statement in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Note Agreement, then on the business day following the applicable filing date and on each monthly anniversary of the business day following the applicable filing date (if no registration statement shall have been filed by the Company in accordance herewith by such date), the Company shall pay to the April 2018 Investors an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages, equal to 1% per month (pro-rata for partial months) based upon the gross purchase price of the Bridge Notes (calculated on a daily basis) under the 2018 Note Agreement.
The obligations under the Bridge Notes are secured, subject to certain exceptions and other permitted payments by a perfected security interest on the assets of the Company.
The 9% discount associated with the April 2018 Bridge Notes was approximately $164,000 and was recorded as a debt discount. The Company also incurred legal and advisory fees associated with the April 2018 Bridge Notes of approximately $164,000 and these were recorded as debt issuance costs.
As part of the initial closing, the April 2018 Investors received 3,648,352 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the “April 2018 Warrants”) exercisable at a 150% premium to the April 2018 Bridge Notes conversion price or $0.75. Half of such April 2018 Warrants have a five-year term and half have a one-year term. The Company reviewed the provisions of the April 2018 Warrants to determine the balance sheet classification of the April 2018 Warrants. The Company concluded that there is an obligation to repurchase the April 2018 Warrants by transferring assets and accordingly the warrants will be classified as a liability. The April 2018 Warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with an initial value of approximately $1.1 million at the date of issuance and were recorded as a liability with an offset to debt discount. See Note 9 –Fair Value for further discussion.

Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of April 20, 2018 (the “Letter Agreement”), the Company engaged a registered broker dealer as a financial advisor (the “Financial Advisor”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company paid the Financial Advisor a fee of $116,000, approximately 7% of the proceeds from the sale of the April 2018 Bridge Notes. This is included in the debt issuance costs discussed above. Per the Letter Agreement, the Company also issued to the Financial Advisor 232,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $0.75 (the “Advisor Warrants”). The Advisor Warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four-year period commencing six months from the date of the Merger,Letter Agreement. Like the April 2018 Warrants, the Advisor Warrants met the criteria to be classified as a liability. The Advisor Warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with an initial value of approximately $0.1 million at the date of issuance and were recorded as a liability with an offset to debt discount. See Note 9 –Fair Value for further discussion.
The Company reviewed the conversion option of the April 2018 Bridge Notes and determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature in connection with the issuance of the April 2018 Bridge Notes since the calculated effective conversion price was at a discount to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at issuance date. For purposes of calculating the beneficial conversion feature, the proceeds of $1.7 million from the April 2018 Bridge Notes were allocated to the notes and warrants based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance. The portion allocated to the April 2018 Bridge Notes was $0.6 million with the remaining $1.1 million allocated to the April 2018 Warrants. As a result of the allocation of the proceeds, the Company calculated a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $1.1 million which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to additional paid in full its loan obligations (including principalcapital.
The Company reviewed the redemption features of the April 2018 Bridge Notes and interest)determined that there is a redemption feature that qualifies as an embedded derivative instrument which is required to be separated from the debt host contract and accounted for separately as a derivative. The Company determined the initial fair value of the derivative to be approximately $0.1 which was recorded as a debt discount with Webster Bank.an offset to derivative liability. The outstandingvaluation was performed using the “with and without” approach, whereby the April 2018 Bridge Notes were valued both with the embedded derivative and without, and the difference in values was recorded as the derivative liability. See Note 9 –Fair Value for further discussion
As detailed above, the debt discounts and debt issuance costs related to the April 2018 Bridge Notes total $2.7 million. Since the costs exceeded the $1.8 million face amount of the debt, the Company recorded $1.8 million of debt discount and debt issuance costs as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet with the excess $0.9 million expensed as a loss on issuance of convertible notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The debt discount and debt issuance costs will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the April 2018 Bridge Notes on a basis that approximates the effective interest method. Amortization of the discount was zero and $328,000 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Common Stock.
Pursuant to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, we currently have
150,000,00016 |
On February 8, 2018 the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “2018 Purchase Agreement”) with Leviston Resources LLC (“Leviston” or the “Investor”) for the purchase of up to $8,000,000 (the “Aggregate Amount”) of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock from time to time, at the Company’s option. Shares offered and sold prior to February 13, 2018 were issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (and the related prospectus) that the Company filed with the Merger,Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and which was declared effective by the SEC on February 13, 2015 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”).
Sales of the Company’s common stock, if any, may be made in sales deemed to be “at-the-market” equity offerings as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), at a purchase price equal to 97.25% of the volume weighted average sales price of the common stock reported on the date that Leviston receives a capital call from the Company.
Leviston purchased 721,153 shares (the “Investor Shares”) of the Company’s common stock following the close of business on February 9, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions, at a price per share of $1.04. The shares were sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. The net proceeds to the Company effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock splitfrom this sale were approximately $744,000. In addition to the $6,000 fee (0.75% fee discussed below), the Company incurred approximately $136,000 of its common stock. This reverse stock split became effective on June 13, 2017 and, unless otherwise indicated, all share amounts, per share data, share prices, exercise prices and conversion rates set forthadditional costs, both of which have been treated as issuance costs within additional paid-in capital in these notes and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsbalance sheet.
In consideration of Leviston’s agreement to enter into the 2018 Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to Leviston a commitment fee in shares of the Company’s common stock equal in value to 5.25% of the total Aggregate Amount (the “Commitment Shares”), payable as follows: 1.75% on or before February 12, 2018. This amount, of $140,000, was paid to Leviston through the issuance of 170,711 shares of the Company’s common stock on February 12, 2018; 1.75% on the third calendar day after the date on which the registration statement on Form S-1 filed on April 16, 2018 is declared effective by the SEC; and 1.75% on the thirtieth calendar day after the date on which such registration statement on Form S-1 is declared effective by the SEC.
In accordance with the terms of the 2018 Purchase Agreement, the Company provided the Investor with a price protection against their initial investment of Investor Shares at the $1.04 price and the commitment fee at a price of $0.82. The provision states that until the effective date of a registration statement, on the occasion the Company sells, or agrees in writing to issue any common stock or common stock equivalents and any of the terms and conditions appurtenant to such issuance or sale are more favorable to the new investors than are the terms and conditions granted the Investor for less than the purchase price at any time, the Company shall amend the terms of the 2018 Purchase Agreement so as to give the Investor the benefit of such more favorable terms or conditions. Due to the Company entering into the 2018 Note Agreement and accepting the exercise of warrants outstanding at a conversion price of $0.30, the Company is required to reprice the initial investment and the commitment fee at $0.30. As such, at the triggering date of April 20, 2018, the total number of shares that the Company is required to issue to the Investor in relation to the repricing of their initial investment and commitment fee is approximately 3.0 million shares of which 0.9 million were issued at the time of the 2018 Purchase Agreement. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has not issued the additional 2.1 million shares to the Investor and at the time of issuance would record the additional issuance of stock against additional paid in capital.
In addition, within the price protection provision, if the Company issues any warrants in connection with issuances, sales or an agreement in writing to issue common stock or common stock equivalents by the Company, the Investor will have where applicable, been adjusted retroactivelythe right to reflect this reverse stock split. Additionally, asreceive a proportionate amount of such warrants, cash or shares, at Investor’s sole election, valued using the Black Scholes formula. As a result of 2018 Note Agreement and the Merger,April 2018 Warrants issued, the Company is required to provide the Investor with a proportionate and equivalent coverage in the form of warrants, stock or cash in the amount of approximately $460,000. As the Investor has the ability to elect the form of compensation, the Company has recapitalized its stock. All historical preferred stock, common stock, restricted units, warrants and additional paid-in capital, including share and per share amounts, have been retroactively adjusted to reflectrecorded the equity structure$460,000 as a liability within the other current liabilities line of the combined company, includingaccompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and has recorded a corresponding dividend. The Company is collectively negotiating the effecttwo amounts resulting from the price protection provision, with the Investor, to agree on a mutually acceptable settlement.
The Company agreed to pay to Leviston, on each day that Leviston receives a capital call from the Company, all expenses associated with depositing, clearing, selling and mailing of the Merger exchange ratio. Pursuantstock certificates, a fee of 0.75% of any amount purchased by Leviston. Also, the Company paid $35,000 to Leviston for a documentation fee for preparing the 2018 Purchase Agreement. This was recorded in additional paid-in-capital as an off-set to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of capital stock of Precipio Diagnostics was exchanged for 10.2502 pre-reverse stock split sharesproceeds received. Leviston will refund the Company $15,000 if certain future conditions are met. Such conditions have not been met as of the Company's common stock.
Because the Company’s existing registration statement on Form S-3 expired on February 13, 2018 and, due to the timing of the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company will not be eligible to file a new Form S-3 registration statement until September 1, 2018, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 the (“S-1 Registration Statement”), by April 15, 2018 and to use reasonable best efforts to cause the S-1 Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within ninety days thereafter. The Company filed the S-1 Registration Statement with the SEC on April 16, 2018, which was in a timely manner since the SEC was not open for filings on April 15, 2018. On August 10, 2018, the Company filed with the SEC, on Form RW, to withdraw the S-1 Registration Statement because the Company is seeking to re-negotiate the terms of the 2018 Purchase Agreement in order to comply with the requirements of the SEC pursuant to a letter from the SEC dated August 7, 2018. Accordingly, as of the date of issuance of this form 10-Q, the Company is awaiting an order from the SEC granting withdrawal of the S-1 Registration Statement. The Company is also required to pay liquidated damages of $100,000 on each event of default under the 2018 Purchase Agreement, of which there were 449,175 sharenone as of common stock outstanding.
During 2017, restricted stock of 59,563 shares were granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, none2018, the Company issued 3,120,000 shares of which vested priorits common stock in connection with conversions of its Series B Preferred Stock and 3,345,334 shares of its common stock in connection with conversions of its Series C Preferred Stock. Aside from 60,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with conversions of its Series C Preferred Stock, all of the shares of common stock issued in the six months ended June 30, 2018 in connection with conversions of its Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock (together the “Preferred Stock”) were issued after the Company induced the holders of its Preferred Stock to convert their shares of Preferred Stock to shares of the company’s common stock (see below - Preferred Stock induced conversions).

9. FAIR VALUE
FASB guidance on fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements for our financial assets and liabilities, as well as for other assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
FASB guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price assets or liabilities. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2—Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions and best estimate of what inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Common Stock Warrant Liabilities.
Certain of our issued and outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock do not qualify to be treated as equity and, accordingly, are recorded as a liability.
2016 Warrant Liability
The Company assumed the 2016 Warrant Liability in the Merger and it represents the fair value of Transgenomic warrants issued in January 2016, of which, 5,368 warrants remain outstanding as of June 30, 2018.
In March 2018, a portion of the 2016 Warrant Liability was part of a settlement agreement pursuant to a lawsuit that was filed against the Company by one of the warrant holders. As such, approximately $0.4 million of the warrant liability, representing 20,216 warrants, was canceled on the date of the settlement agreement and replaced by and amounts now recorded as other current liabilities or other long-term liabilities. For further detail, see discussion of the Crede Agreement in Note 5 – Other Current Liabilities.
The 2016 Warrant Liability is considered a Level 3 financial instrument and iswas valued using a binomial lattice simulation model. This method is well suited to valuing options with non-standard features. Assumptionsthe Monte Carlo methodology. As of June 30, 2018, assumptions and inputs used in the valuation of the common stock warrants2016 Warrant Liability include: our equity value, which was estimated using our stock priceremaining life to maturity of $9.00 as of June 30, 2017;2.50 years; annual volatility of 121%173%; and a risk-free interest rate of 1.64%2.57%.
2018 Warrant Liabilities
At the time of the April 2018 Bridge Note issuance, the Company issued 3,648,352 of the April 2018 Warrants and 232,000 of the Advisor Warrants and both warrant issuances were classified as a warrant liability (the “2018 Warrant Liabilities”). See Note 4 Long-Term Debt And Convertible Bridge Notes for further discussion of each warrant.
The 2018 Warrant Liabilities are considered Level 3 financial instruments and were valued using the Black Scholes model. As of June 30, 2018, assumptions used in the valuation of the 2018 Warrant Liabilities include: remaining life to maturity of 0.8 to 4.8 years; annual volatility of 140% to 163%; and risk free rate of 2.33% to 2.73%

Derivative Liability.
At the time of the April 2018 Bridge Note issuance, the Company recorded a derivative instrument as a liability with an initial fair value of approximately $0.1 million. The valuation was performed using the “with and without” approach, whereby the April 2018 Bridge Notes were valued both with the embedded derivative and without, and the difference in values was recorded as the derivative liability. See Note 4 Long-Term Debt And Convertible Bridge Notes for further discussion.
The estimated fair value of the derivative will be remeasured at each reporting date and any change in estimated fair value of the derivative will be recorded as a non-cash adjustment to earnings. The gains or losses included in earnings are reported in other income (expense) in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
As of June 30, 2018 the calculated fair value of the derivative liability was approximately $0.1 million and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $1,000 which is included in derivative revaluation in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

· | increase the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by 5,389,500 shares to 6,056,166 shares and cumulatively increased on January 1, 2019 and on each January 1 thereafter by the lesser of the annual increase for such year or 500,000 shares; |
· | increase the maximum number of shares that may be granted in the form of stock options or stock appreciation rights to any one individual in any one calendar year and the maximum number of shares underlying any award intended to qualify as performance-based compensation to any one individual in any performance cycle, in each case to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock; and |
· | add an “evergreen” provision, pursuant to which the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan will be automatically increased each year beginning on January 1, 2019 by 5% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. |
Stock Options.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company granted stock options to employees and directors to purchase up to 3,286,528 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.71.

11. SALES SERVICE REVENUE, NET AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from contracts with customers”
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 that amends the guidance for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers to transfer goods and services by using the modified-retrospective method applied to any contracts that were issued solelynot completed as of January 1, 2018. The Company performed a comprehensive review of its existing revenue arrangements following the five-step model:
25 |
Step 1: Identification of the contract with the customer. Sub-steps include determining the customer in a contract; Initial contract identification and determine if multiple contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single transaction.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligation in the contract. Sub-steps include identifying the promised goods and services in the contract and identifying which performance obligations within the contract are distinct.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Sub-steps include variable consideration, constraining estimates of variable consideration, the existence of a significant financing component in the contract, noncash consideration and consideration payable to a former chief executive officer. The weighted-average exercise pricecustomer.
Step 4: Allocate transaction price. Sub-steps include assessing the amount of these SARs was $129.60 per shareconsideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer.
Step 5: Satisfaction of performance obligations. Sub-steps include ascertaining the point in time when an asset is transferred to the customer and the aggregate intrinsiccustomer obtains control of the asset upon which time the Company recognizes revenue.
Based on the Company's analysis, there were no changes identified that impacted the amount or timing of revenues recognized under the new guidance as compared to the previous guidance (ASC 605). Additionally, the Company's analysis indicated that there were no changes to how costs to obtain and fulfill our customer contracts would be recognized under the new guidance as compared to the previous guidance. Accordingly, the initial application of the new revenue standard did not result in the recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018.
Nature of Contracts and Customers
The Company’s contracts and related performance obligations are similar for its customers and the sales process for all customers start upon the receipt of requisition forms from the customers for patient diagnostic testing and the execution of contracts for biomarker testing and clinical research. Payment terms for the services provided are 30 days, unless separately negotiated.
Diagnostic testing
Control of the laboratory testing services is transferred to the customer at a point in time. As such, the Company recognizes revenue for laboratory testing services at a point in time based on the delivery method (web-portal access or fax) for the patient’s laboratory report, per the contract.
Clinical research grants
Control of the clinical research services are transferred to the customer over time. The Company will recognize revenue utilizing the “effort based” method, measuring its progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
Biomarker testing and clinical project services
Control of the biomarker testing and clinical project services are transferred to the customer over time. The Company utilizes an “effort based” method of assessing performance and measures progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation based upon the delivery of results.
The Company generates revenue from the provision of diagnostic testing provided to patients, biomarker testing provided to bio-pharma customers and clinical research grants funded by both bio-pharma customers and government health programs.

Disaggregation of Revenues by Transaction Type
We operate in one business segment and, therefore, the results of our operations are reported on a consolidated basis for purposes of segment reporting, consistent with internal management reporting. Revenues, net of contractual allowances and adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (prior-period amounts are not adjusted under the modified-retrospective method of adoption):

Revenue from the Medicare and Medicaid programs account for a portion of the Company’s patient diagnostic service revenue. Laws and regulations governing those programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using the expected value method based on historical experience. The Company does not typically enter arrangements where multiple contracts can be combined as the terms regarding services are generally found within a single agreement/requisition form. The Company derives its revenues from three types of transactions: diagnostic testing, clinical research grants from state and federal research programs, and other revenues from the Company’s ICP technology and bio-pharma projects encompassing genetic diagnostics.
Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue, or unearned revenue, refers to advance payments for products or services that are to be delivered in the future. The Company records such prepayment of unearned revenue as a liability, as revenue that has not yet been earned, but represents products or services that are owed to a customer. As the product or service is delivered over time, the Company recognizes the appropriate amount of revenue from deferred revenue. For the period ended June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the deferred revenue was zero$116,000 and $66,000, respectively.
Contractual Allowances and Adjustments
We are reimbursed by payors for services we provide. Payments for services covered by payors average less than billed charges. We monitor revenue and receivables from payors and record an estimated contractual allowance for certain revenue and receivable balances as of the revenue recognition date to properly account for anticipated differences between amounts estimated in our billing system and amounts ultimately reimbursed by payors. Accordingly, the total revenue and receivables reported in our financial statements are recorded at the amounts expected to be received from these payors. For service revenue, the contractual allowance is estimated based on several criteria, including unbilled claims, historical trends based on actual claims paid, current contract and reimbursement terms and changes in customer base and payor/product mix. The billing functions for the remaining portion of our revenue are contracted and fixed fees for specific services and are recorded without an allowance for contractual discounts. The following table presents our revenues initially recognized for each associated payor class during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Overview
Precipio, Inc., and Subsidiary, (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Precipio”) is a cancer diagnostics company providing diagnostic products and services to the oncology market. We have built and continue to develop a platform designed to eradicate the problem of misdiagnosis by harnessing the intellect, expertise and technology developed within academic institutions and delivering quality diagnostic information to physicians and their patients worldwide. We operate a cancer diagnostic laboratory located in New Haven, Connecticut and have partnered with the Yale School of Medicine to capture the expertise, experience and technologies developed within academia so that we can provide a better standard of cancer diagnostics and solve the growing problem of cancer misdiagnosis. We also operate a research and development facility in Omaha, Nebraska which will focus on further development of ICE-COLD-PCR.ICE-COLD-PCR, or ICP, the patented technology which was exclusively licensed by us from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc., or Dana-Farber, at Harvard University. The research and development center will focus on the development of this technology, which we believe will enable us to commercialize other technologies developed by our current and future academic partners. Our platform connects patients, physicians and diagnostic experts residing within academic institutions. Launched in 2017, the platform facilitates the following relationships:
Recent Highlights
During the second quarter of 2017, both Precipio Diagnostics2018, we continued the development of ICP. Our ICP sales growth plan remains focused on hospitals, large contract research organizations (CRO), OEM’s and Transgenomic worked to preparenational scale labs. In June 2018, we announced that we had eight ICP trials underway with three reference laboratories, one hospital laboratory, two CRO’s and two diagnostic equipment companies. We also have agreements for the Merger. From an operation perspective, since each company had a certified CLIA lab, management determined that consolidation would both streamline company operations and reduce the regulatory burden, while significantly decreasing operating costs on a going forward basis. Both companies continued to work to integrate their various teams and related operations; the finance teams of both companies worked together to prepare for the combination of both companies financial, billing, AP and accounting systems to ensure a smooth transition upon completion of the Merger. Customer service and logistics functions also were combined to ensure that the proper efficiencies were achieved once the Merger was completed.

Going Concern
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable for a going concern, which assume that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and has used cash in its operating activities for the past several years. As of June 30, 2017,2018, the Company had a net loss of $4.4$5.3 million, and negative working capital of $14.5$8.1 million and net cash used in operating activities of $3.6 million. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of this form 10-Q is dependent upon a combination of achieving its business plan, including generating additional revenue, and raising additional financing to meet its debt obligations and paying liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned circumstances, there remains substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of this form 10-Q. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully achieve its initiatives summarized above in order to continue as a going concern.concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the form 10-Q. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern as a result of the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our judgments and estimates are based on experience and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Further, we evaluate our judgments and estimates from time to time as circumstances change. Actual financial results based on judgments or estimates may vary under different assumptions or circumstances. For additional information regarding ourOur critical accounting policies and estimates, seeare discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 2 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated Financial Statements and Note 1 of the audited financial statements and notes thereto of Precipio Diagnostics for thefiscal year ended December 31, 2016 contained in our current report on Form 8-K/A,2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 31, 2017.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management has concluded thatperformed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures nor our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all fraudas defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and material error.15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of achievingthe Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including our objectivesChief Executive Officer and our President and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that ourto allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, arenot effective at amanagement recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance level. Further,of achieving the design of adesired control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,objectives, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Companya company have been detected. The designManagement is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of any system ofpossible controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have evaluated the changes in our internal control over the financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Management has identified a lack of sufficient personnel in2018 and concluded that there have not been any changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 by using the accounting function due to our limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles. Management is addressing this material weakness with the addition of accounting and financial resource with proper skills, training and experience. As of the merger date, June 29, 2017, Management has added experienced accounting staff consisting of a Director of Accounting, Director of Financial Reportingmodified-retrospective method. An adjustment was not required and a staff accountantchange to the prior revenue recognition process and additional administrative staff.

As disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that may have a material effect on the operating results of our business and our financial condition. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K as updated in our Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and this Quarterly Report, are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We cannot be certain that we will achieve or sustain profitability.
We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to incur losses in the future. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have an accumulated total deficit of approximately $12.7 million and $10.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2018, we had a net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $1.8$5.3 million, negative working capital of $8.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively.net cash used in operating activities of $3.6 million. To date, we have experienced negative cash flow from development of our diagnostic technology, as well as from the costs associated with establishing a laboratory and building a sales force to market our products and services. We expect to incur substantial net losses for the foreseeable future to further develop and commercialize our diagnostic technology. We also expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase due to the additional costs associated with market development activities and expanding our staff to sell and support our products. Our ability to achieve or, if achieved, sustain profitability is based on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the market acceptance of our products, competitive product development and our market penetration and margins. We may never be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or, if achieved, sustain profitability.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with further development and commercialization of our diagnostic technology and any future tests, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if ever. We may never become profitable and you may never receive a return on an investment in our common stock.securities. An investor in our common stocksecurities must carefully consider the substantial challenges, risks and uncertainties inherent in the development and commercialization of tests in the medical diagnostic industry. We may never successfully commercialize our diagnostic technology or any future tests, and our business may fail.
We will need to raise substantial additional capital to commercialize our diagnostic technology, and our failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or collaboration efforts.
As of June 30, 2017,2018, our cash balance was $1.0$0.1 million and our working capital was approximately negative $16.3$8.1 million. Due to our recurring losses from operations and the expectation that we will continue to incur losses in the future, we will be required to raise additional capital to complete the development and commercialization of our current product candidates.candidates and to pay off our obligations. To date, to fund our operations and develop and commercialize our products, we have relied primarily on equity and debt financings. When we seek additional capital, we may seek to sell additional equity and/or debt securities or to obtain a credit facility, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, restrict or cease our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms.
