NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular information in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (the “Interim Financial Statements”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Interpace Diagnostics Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Interpace”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Interpace Diagnostics Lab Inc., Interpace Diagnostics Corporation and Interpace Diagnostics, LLC, and related notes as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 23, 2018.21, 2019. The condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed Interim Financial Statements include all normal recurring adjustments that, in the judgment of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such interim financial statements. Discontinued operations include the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Group DCA, LLC, or Group DCA; InServe Support Solutions; and TVG, Inc. and its Commercial Services (“CSO”) business unit which was sold on December 22, 2015. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.2019.

 

2.LIQUIDITY

 

As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $12.6$9.1 million, net accounts receivable of $6.4$11.2 million, total current assets of $20.1$22.2 million and total current liabilities of $7.8$9.8 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had a net loss of $3.2$3.4 million and cash used in operating activities was $2.5$3.0 million.

 

While the Company has significantly increased its cash balance and has eliminated all of its long-term debt, theThe Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations for the year ending December 31, 2018.2019. The Company believes however, that it has sufficient cash balances to meet near term obligations and further intends to meet its capital needs by revenue growth, containing costs, entering into strategic alliances as well as exploring other options, including the possibility of raising additional debt or equity capital as necessary. There is, however, no assurance the Company will be successful in meeting its capital requirements prior to becoming cash flow positive.

 

In November 2018, the Company entered into up to a $4.0 million secured Line of Credit facility including a 3-year term loan for $850,000 with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). The proceeds of the term loan are expected to be used for laboratory capital expenditures and will be repaid monthly. The term loan draw date will be on or before June 30, 2019. The $3.15 million balance of the Line of Credit is available for working capital purposes as a revolving line of credit and has a three-year term, ending November 2021. As of April 2, 2019, $0.25 million of this amount has been reserved, but not drawn, for a letter of credit related to the security deposit for our Pittsburgh facility lease. The borrowing limit of the revolving line of credit is the lower of 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable (as adjusted by SVB) and the aggregate amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable during the three prior calendar months. Term loan outstanding amounts incur interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (the “Prime Rate”) and 5.00%. Revolving Line outstanding amounts incur interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.5%.

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Estimates

 

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

Our Services

 

We are a fully integrated commercial and bioinformatics company that develops and provides clinically useful molecular diagnostic tests and pathology services. We develop and commercialize molecular diagnosticgenomic tests and related first line assays principally focused on early detection of patients with indeterminate biopsies and at high risk of cancer and leverageusing the latest technology andto help personalized medicine for improvedand improve patient diagnosis and management. Our tests and services provide mutational analysis of genomic material contained in suspicious cysts, nodules and lesions with the goal of better informing treatment decisions in patients at risk of thyroid, pancreatic, and other cancers. The molecular diagnostic tests we offer enable healthcare providers to better assess cancer risk, helping to avoid unnecessary surgical treatment in patients at low risk. We currently have four commercialized molecular diagnostic assaystests in the marketplace for which we are receiving reimbursement: PancraGEN®, which is a pancreatic cyst and pancreaticobiliary solid lesion moleculargenomic test that helps physicians better assess risk of pancreaticobiliary cancers using our proprietary PathFinderTG®platform; ThyGenXThyGeNEXT®, which is an expanded oncogenic mutation panel that helps identify malignant thyroid nodules;nodules, and replaced ThyGenX®; ThyraMIR®, which assesses thyroid nodules for risk of malignancy utilizing a proprietary microRNA gene expression assay; and RespriDX™RespriDx®, launched in September 2017, for assessingwhich is a genomic test that helps physicians differentiate metastatic versusor recurrent lung cancer from the presence of newly formed primary lung cancer tumors. RespriDX™and which also utilizes our PathFinderTG®platform and comparesto compare the geneticgenomic fingerprint of two or more sites of lung cancer. BarreGEN®, an esophageal cancer risk classifier for Barrett’s Esophagus that also utilizes our PathFinder TG® platform, is currently in a Clinical Evaluation Program or (“CEP”) whereby we gather information from physicians using BarreGEN®to determine whether the neoplastic deposits are representative of a recurrence of cancer or a new primary (independent) cancer.

Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contractsassist us in positioning our product for full launch, partnering and potentially supporting reimbursement with Customers”payers.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 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 not completed as of January 1, 2018. The results for the reporting period beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented in accordance with the new standard, although comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards and policies in effect for those periods.

Upon adoption, the Company performed a comprehensive analysis of existing revenue arrangements as of January 1, 2018 following the five-step model. Based on our analysis, we recorded a cumulative adjustment to opening accumulated deficit and increase of accounts receivable of approximately $2.5 million as of January 1, 2018. The cumulative impact was driven by a change in the timing of revenue recognition for certain payer categories and the related proprietary tests performed. The balance of accounts receivable related to the adjustment is approximately $1.6 million as of March 31, 2018. The impact on our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was an increase of approximately 9%.

Revenue, net $4,809  $4,409  $400 

Historically, for certain third-party payers that did not have established contractual reimbursement rates or a predictable pattern of collectability, including commercial insurance carriers, Medicaid and certain hospitals, the Company previously recognized revenues when the fee was fixed or determinable and collectability was reasonably assured, which was upon request of third-party payer notification of payment or when cash was received. Under the new standard, the Company estimates the variable consideration within the transaction price for all third-party payers and proprietary tests and recognizes revenue as the Company satisfies its performance obligations.

In addition, the Company updated its estimates of the expected transaction price and related reimbursement rates for its payer categories and related proprietary tests based on the variable consideration guidance in ASC Topic 606. This consisted of updating the reimbursement rates realized by the Company’s proprietary tests based on historical amounts received by each payer category for the corresponding tests performed.

Overall, other than an initial acceleration in the timing of our revenue recognition for certain payer categories, the adoption of this new standard will not have a significant impact on our reported total revenues and operating results as compared to amounts that would have been reported under the prior revenue recognition standard over our typical revenue cycle. Our accounting policies under the new standard were applied prospectively and are discussed further below.

 

Revenue Recognitionfrom Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)

Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue 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 derives its revenues from the performance of its proprietary tests. The Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled upon completion, review and release of test results to the customer. The Company subsequently bills third-party payers or hospitalsdirect-bill payers for the proprietary tests performed. Revenue is recognized based on the estimated transaction price or net realizable value (“NRV”), which is determined based on historical collection rates by each payer category for each proprietary test offered by the Company. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, for all third party and direct-bill payers and proprietary tests, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using the expected value method based on historical experience.

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

Disaggregated Revenues

 

We operate in a single operating segment and, therefore, the results of our operations are reported on a consolidated basis for purposes of segment reporting, which is consistent with internal management reporting. For the three-month periods endingended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and March 31, 2017, the majoritysubstantially all of the Company’s revenues were derived from its Gastrointestinal and Endocrine molecular diagnostic tests.

 

Financing and Payment

OurFor non-Medicare claims, our payment terms vary by payer category. Payment terms for direct-payers are typically thirty days. Commercial third-party-payers are required to respond to a claim within a time period established by their respective state regulations, generally between thirty to sixty days. However, payment for commercial third-party payersclaims may be subject to a denial and type of proprietary testing services performed.appeal process, which could take up to two years in some instances where multiple appeals are submitted. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.Company generally appeals all denials from commercial third-party payers.

 

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Customer Contract

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

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s accounts receivable represent unconditional rights to consideration and are generated using its proprietary molecular diagnostic tests. The Company’s services are fulfilled upon completion of the test, review and release of the test results. In conjunction with fulfilling these services, the Company bills the third-party payer or hospital. Prior todirectly bills the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, the Company recognized accountshospital or service provider. Accounts receivable related to billings for Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and hospitals (direct-bill clients) on an accrual basis, net of contractual adjustment, when collectability is reasonably assured. Under ASC 606 accounts receivable is now recognized for all payer groups net of contractual adjustment and net of estimated uncollectable amounts. Contractual adjustments represent the difference between the list prices and the reimbursement rate set by third party payers, including Medicare, commercial payers, or amounts billed directly to hospitals.hospitals and service providers. Specific accounts may be written off after several appeals, which in some cases may take longer than twelve months.

 

Leases

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

Our lease terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend (or to not terminate) the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with terms of twelve months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of an asset or liability.See Note 6, Leases.

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

 

Discontinued Operations

 

The Company accounts for business dispositions and its businesses held for sale in accordance with ASC 205-20,Discontinued Operations.Operations (“ASC 205-20”). ASC 205-20 requires the results of operations of business dispositions to be segregated from continuing operations and reflected as discontinued operations in current and prior periods. See Note 11,12,Discontinued Operations for further information.

5.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

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

 

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

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

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

 

On June 21, 2017, the Company closed onissued 575,000 Underwriters Warrants, related to a public offering issuing both Pre-Funded Warrants and Underwriters Warrants to purchase 2,600,000 shares and 575,000 shares ofon the Company’s common stock, respectively. Both the Pre-Funded and Underwriters Warrants includesame date that included a cash settlement feature in the event of certain circumstances. Accordingly, both the Pre-Funded and Underwriters Warrants are classified as liabilities and were fair valued using the Black Scholes Option-Pricing Model, the inputs for which include exercise price of the respective warrants, market price of the underlying common shares, expected term, volatility based on the Company’s historical market price, and the risk-free rate corresponding to the expected term of the Exchange Agreement.underlying exchange agreement. Changes to the fair value of the warrant liabilities were recorded in Other income (expense), net. The Pre-Funded Warrants were fully exercised in 2017 and therefore the Company has no remaining liability associated with those warrants.

6.LEASES

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the provisions of Topic 842 using the alternative modified transition method, with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the date of adoption, and prior periods not restated, as allowed under the provisions of Topic 842. The Company also elected to use the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of Topic 842, which provides for the following: the carryforward of the Company’s historical lease classification, no requirement for reassessment of whether an expired or existing contract contains an embedded lease, no reassessment of initial direct costs for any leases that exist prior to the adoption of the new standard, and the election to consolidate lease and non-lease components. The Company also elected to keep all leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet.

The Company recorded $2.4 million of right-of-use lease assets and $2.5 million of lease liabilities upon adoption, primarily relating to rentals of space for our corporate headquarters and laboratories, as well as equipment leases, all under operating leases. In addition, the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment to opening accumulated deficit of $0.1 million.

Prolias Technologies, Inc v. PDI, Inc.

On April 8, 2015, Prolias Technologies, Inc. (“Prolias”) filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) against the Company with the Superior Court of New Jersey (Morris County) (the “Court”) in a matter entitled Prolias Technologies, Inc. v. PDI, Inc. (Docket No. MRS-L-899-15). In the Complaint, Prolias alleged that it and the Company entered into an August 19, 2013 Collaboration Agreement and a First Amendment thereto (collectively, the “Agreement”) whereby Prolias and the Company agreed to work in good faith to commercialize a diagnostic test known as “Thymira.” On March 9, 2017, the Court entered a final judgment in the Company’s favor against Prolias for the sum of $636,053 plus ten percent interest continuing to accrue on the principal balance of $500,000 (per diem $136.99) unless and until paid. Final judgment was also entered in the Company’s favor, and against Prolias, declaring Prolias is deemed to have executed and delivered to the Company a promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 and Prolias is obligated to repay the Company the principal amount and all interest in accordance with the terms of the promissory note and Article 10.2(a) of the Collaboration Agreement by and between Prolias and the Company. On April 3, 2017, the final judgment against Prolias was recorded as a statewide lien. No assurance, however, can be given that the Company will ever be able to recover on the judgment against Prolias.

9.10.INCOME TAXES

 

Generally, accounting standards require companies to provide for income taxes each quarter based on their estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes allows use of the discrete method when it provides a better estimate of income tax expense. Due to the Company’s valuation allowance position, it is the Company’s position that the discrete method provides a more accurate estimate of income tax expense and therefore income tax expense for the current quarter has been presented using the discrete method. As the year progresses, the Company refines its estimate based on the facts and circumstances by each tax jurisdiction. The following table summarizes income tax expense on (loss) income from continuing operations and the effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017:2018:

16.17.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Recently adopted standards

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASC Topic 606). The standard, including subsequently issued amendments, replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The key focus of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this key focus, there is a five-step approach outlined in the standard. We adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2018, by using the modified-retrospective method. See Note 3,Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further details.

New standards not yet adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which when effective will require organizations that lease assets (e.g., through "leases") to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by the leases on the balance sheet. A lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with terms that exceed twelve months. The standard will also require disclosures to help investors and financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, andincluding interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingfiscal years. Topic 842 establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, on the impactbalance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are to be classified as either finance or operating leases, with such classification affecting the pattern or expense recognition in the statement of operations. We adopted this new standard on its consolidated financial position and resultsas of operations.January 1, 2019, by using the alternative modified transition method. See Note 3,Significant Accounting Policies, for more details.

 

17.18.SUBSEQUENT EVENTSEVENT

 

On May 4, 2018,As previously disclosed on the Company wasCompany’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 18, 2019, we were notified by NASDAQ on April 16, 2019 that we were no longer in compliance with the minimum bid price requirementsrequirement of NASDAQNASDAQ. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of thirty (30) consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of our common stock for the thirty (30) consecutive business days from March 5, 2019 to April 15, 2019, we no longer meet the minimum bid price requirement. The Notification Letter does not impact our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market at this time. We have 180 calendar days or until October 31, 201814, 2019 to regain compliance with this requirement or face delisting. The CompanyTo regain compliance, the bid price of our common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. We may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period if it doeswe do not regain compliance by October 31, 2018.14, 2019. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Company isNasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the staff of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq would notify us that our securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such a notification, we may appeal the Staff’s determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance the Staff would grant our request for continued listing. We are currently considering available options to regain compliance.

OVERVIEW

 

We are a fully integrated commercial and bioinformatics company that develops and provides clinically useful molecular diagnostic tests and pathology services. We develop and commercialize molecular diagnosticgenomic tests and related first line assays principally focused on early detection of patients with indeterminate biopsies and at high risk of cancer and leverageusing the latest technology andto help personalized medicine for improvedand improve patient diagnosis and management. Our tests and services provide mutational analysis of genomic material contained in suspicious cysts, nodules and lesions with the goal of better informing treatment decisions in patients at risk of thyroid, pancreatic, and other cancers. The molecular diagnostic tests we offer enable healthcare providers to better assess cancer risk, helping to avoid unnecessary surgical treatment in patients at low risk. We currently have four commercialized molecular diagnostic assaystests in the marketplace for which we are receiving reimbursement: PancraGEN®, which is a pancreatic cyst and pancreaticobiliary solid lesion moleculargenomic test that helps physicians better assess risk of pancreaticobiliary cancers using our proprietary PathFinderTG®platform; ThyGenXThyGeNEXT®, which is an expanded oncogenic mutation panel that helps identify malignant thyroid nodules;nodules and replaced ThyGenX®; ThyraMIR®, which assesses thyroid nodules for risk of malignancy utilizing a proprietary microRNA gene expression assay; and RespriDX™RespriDx®, launched in September 2017, for assessingwhich is a genomic test that helps physicians differentiate metastatic versusor recurrent lung cancer from the presence of newly formed primary lung cancer tumors. RespriDX™and which also utilizes our PathFinderTG®platform and comparesto compare the geneticgenomic fingerprint of two or more sites of lung cancer to determine whether the neoplastic deposits are representative of a recurrence of cancer or a new primary (independent) cancer. We are also in the process of “soft launching” while we gather additional market data, BarreGEN®, an esophageal cancer risk classifier for Barrett’s Esophagus that also utilizes our PathFinderTGPathFinder TG® platform.platform, is currently in a Clinical Evaluation Program or (“CEP”) whereby we gather information from physicians using BarreGEN® to assist us in positioning our product for full launch, partnering and potentially supporting reimbursement with payers.

 

Our mission is to provide personalized informationmedicine through moleculargenomics-based diagnostics and innovation to advance patient care based on rigorous science. Our laboratories are licensed pursuant to federal law under CLIA and are accredited by CAP and New York State. In August 2018, we acquired a majority of the Philadelphia laboratory equipment of Rosetta Genomics Ltd., a molecular diagnostics company, in order to further support our CLIA and CAP certified lab expansion in our New Haven, Connecticut and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania laboratories.

We are leveraging our Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”)licensed and College of American Pathologists (“CAP”), accredited laboratories to develop and commercialize our assays and products. We aim to provide physicians and patients with diagnostic options for detecting geneticgenomic and other molecular mutationsalterations that are associated with gastrointestinal, endocrine, and endocrine cancer.lung cancers. Our customers consist primarily of physicians, hospitals and clinics.

 

The global molecular diagnostics market is estimated to be approximately $6.5 billion and is a segment within the approximately $60 billion in vitro diagnostics market according to statistics from Kalorama Information, publisher ofthe Worldwide Market for In Vitro Diagnostic Tests.Tests. We believe that the molecular diagnostics market offers significant growth and strong patient value given the substantial opportunity it affords to lower healthcare costs by helping to reduce unnecessary surgeries and ensuring the appropriate frequency of monitoring. We are keenly focused on growing our test volumes, securing additional insurance coverage and reimbursement, maintaining and growing our current reimbursement and supporting revenue growth for our four commercialized innovativemolecular diagnostic tests, introducing related first line product and service extensions, as well as expanding our business by developing acquiring and promoting synergistic products in our markets. BarreGEN®We also believe that BarreGen® is a majorpotentially significant pipeline product, built on the PathFinderTGÒ platform whichand we are providing necessary resources to accelerate our development process. Further, we believe BarreGEN®is synergistic towith our capabilities and potentially is a significant product opportunity in the gastrointestinal market, which is one of the sectors in which we operate. Additionally, we are focused on either acquiring or licensing products that either leverage our commercial capabilities and/or diversify our revenue base away from the risks associated with reimbursement by leveraging our molecular data and capabilities.

 

Additional Reimbursement Coverage During 20182019

 

Reimbursement progress is key for any molecular diagnostic company. We werehave been successful to date in expanding the reimbursement of our products in 2017 and that has continued into 2018.2019. Specifically, the most significant progress we have made the following progress with payorsregarding payers to date in 2018:2019 is as follows:

 

In February 2018, we announced that Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, the oldest and largest health plan in New Jersey, covering 3.8 million patients living in the Northeastern United States, has agreed to cover ThyGenX® and ThyraMIR®for its members effective January 9, 2018.
In March 2018, we announced coverage of ThyGenX®and ThyraMIR®by four new Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina, Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Iowa, and Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Dakota. These four plans combined represent over 5 million members.
In March 2018, we presented five abstracts as posters and podium presentations at the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) meeting being in Vancouver, British Columbia. The posters reflect a review of data from the Company’s extensive experience in molecular testing, including experience with over 5,000 analyses of indeterminate thyroid nodules using its combined mutational (ThyGenX(®) and microRNA classifier (ThyraMIR®) testing format, 30,000 tests of Pancreatic cyst fluid and solid lesions using PancraGen® as well as results from its recently launched product for lung cancer, RespriDx™.
In March 2018, we announced the execution of a new agreement with LabCorp to further expand the Company’s national network of cytology providers in support of its Thyroid molecular business unit. The arrangement builds on the parties’ 2016 agreement, which established electronic ordering and result reporting through LabCorp for our proprietary ThyGenX® and ThyraMIR®. Under the parties’ new agreement, physicians will be able to order both thyroid biopsy analysis and molecular testing from us. Dianon Pathology, a member of the LabCorp Specialty Testing Group, will be available to the biopsy analysis, and in the event of an indeterminate result, we will then perform our molecular tests.

DESCRIPTION OF REPORTING SEGMENTS

 

Since December 22, 2015, the Company reports its operations as one segment, molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics. The Company’s reporting segment structure is reflective of the way both the Company’s management and chief operating decision maker view the business, make operating decisions and assess performance. This structure allows investors to better understand Company performance, better assess prospects for future cash flows, and make more informed decisions about the Company.

 

Interpace DiagnosticsRevenue

 

The Company’s revenue is generated from the performance of its proprietary molecular diagnostics tests. The Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled upon completion, review and release of test results and subsequent billing to the third-party payer or hospital. Historically, the Company recognized revenue related to billings for Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and hospitals on an accrual basis, net of contractual adjustment, when there was a predictable pattern of collectability. Contractual adjustments represent the difference between the list prices and the reimbursement rate set by Medicare and Medicare Advantage, or the amounts billed to hospitals, which approximates the Medicare rate. Upon ultimate collection, the amount received from Medicare, Medicare Advantage and hospitals with a predictable pattern of payment is compared to the previous estimates and the contractual allowance is adjusted, if necessary. Beginning January 1, 2018 under

Under ASC 606, the Company began to recognizerecognizes revenue for billings less contractual allowances and estimated uncollectable amounts for all payer groups.groups on the accrual basis based upon a thorough analysis of historical receipts. The net amount derived and used for revenue recognition is referred to as the “net realizable value” or (“NRV”) for the particular test and payer group from which reimbursement is received. This derived “net realizable value” will beNRV is evaluated quarterly or as needed and then applied to future periods until recalculated.

Through December 31, 2017, for certain third-party payers that did not have established contractual reimbursement rates or a predictable pattern of collectability, including commercial insurance carriers, Medicaid and certain hospitals, the Company believed that the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured only upon request of third-party payer notification of payment or when cash is received, and recognized revenue at that time.

The Company completed its analysis of the ASC 606 impact and incorporated further analysis of first quarter 2018 collections from its commercial payer base in finalizing its ASC 606 adjustments. The impact of recording the cumulative catch-up adjustment under the modified retrospective method was $2.5 million, recorded as an increase to opening retained earnings on January 1, 2018. Prior periods have not been retrospectively adjusted. The Company also finalized its analysis of modified internal controls over financial reporting and the disclosures required starting with this Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2018.

Through December 2017, the Company recognized revenue from services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; services have been rendered; the selling price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.

INTERPACE DIAGNOSTICS GROUP, INC.

Until a contract has been negotiated with a commercial insurance carrier or governmental program, the services may or may not be covered by these entities existing reimbursement policies. In the absence of an agreement with the patient or other clearly enforceable legal right to demand payment, the related revenue was only recognized upon the earlier of payment notification or cash receipt. Accordingly, we recognize revenue from commercial insurance carriers, government programs, and direct-bill healthcare providers without contracts, when payment was received.

 

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery is deemed to have occurred upon completion, review, and release of the test results at which time we billed the third-party payor or hospital. The assessment of the fixed or determinable nature of the fees charged for diagnostic testing performed, and the collectability of those fees, requiredrequires significant judgment by our management. Our management believedbelieves that these two criteria have been met when there is contracted reimbursement coverage or a predictable pattern of collectability with individual third-party payers or hospitals and accordingly, recognized revenue upon delivery of the test results. In the absence of contracted reimbursement coverage or a predictable pattern of collectability, we believedbelieve that the fee was fixed or determinable and collectability was reasonably assured only upon request of third-party payor notification of payment or when cash was received, and we recognize revenue at that time.

 

Cost of services consists primarily of the costs associated with operating our laboratories and other costs directly related to our tests. Personnel costs, which constitute the largest portion of cost of services, include all labor related costs, such as salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits and payroll taxes for laboratory personnel. Other direct costs include, but are not limited to, laboratory supplies, certain consulting expenses, and facility expenses.

In addition, management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible disclosure controls and procedures relative to their costs to implement and maintain.
