EXPLANATORY NOTE

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

INTERPACE DIAGNOSTICS GROUP, INC.Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations is dependent on future developments, which are still highly uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus outbreak. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally is adversely affecting global economies and financial markets which could materially and adversely impact our operations including, without limitation, the functioning of our laboratories, the availability of supplies including reagents, the progress and data collection of our pharma services, customer demand and travel and employee health and availability.

We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic will adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and possibly beyond. Our fiscal 2020 first quarter revenue was impacted by lower than expected clinical service volume throughout March 2020, which we believe has resulted from the temporary reduction in non-essential testing procedures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Our pharma services first quarter revenue increased throughout the first quarter and average daily accessions improved in March 2020 as compared to January and February 2020. However, as of the date of this Report, our overall business is still down approximately 30% from our run rate before the pandemic.

We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these dynamic circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan.

8

At this time, we do not anticipate any lab closures beyond temporary work stoppages from time to time to clean and disinfect the labs. Lab supplies including reagents have been secured to mitigate any potential supply chain issues for the foreseeable future and we are not observing any shortages due to supply chain issues. Our third party clinical services billing and collections company has taken steps to continue operations remotely.

We are monitoring the situation on a daily basis and have developed contingency plans to potentially mitigate the anticipated adverse financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These contingency plans include significant cost saving actions to offset any volume shortfall and additional action plans to react to further potential declines. While we are continuing to make progress on a regular basis in returning to volumes prior to the pandemic there is, however, no guarantee in the future we will recover the business which has been lost or inactive.

The CMS advance will be offset against future Medicare billings of the Company, and the HSS grant is subject to certain conditions regarding its use, including developing coronavirus and serology tests. These grants and advances require certain certifications by the Company and impose specific limitations on the use of the proceeds. Based on these restrictions and limitations, the Company is treating the $0.65 million HSS grant as restricted cash until we have clarity on how the funds can be utilized by the Company based on the specific requirements of the HSS.

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

As of June 17, 2020 we have approximately $16.2 million of cash on hand. Also as of June 17, 2020, the Company has no further availability on its credit facility, but is in the process of completing an agreement with SVB to expand the credit facility. No assurance can be given that such an expansion agreement will be entered into.

 

3.4.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Accounting Estimates

 

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

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 genomic tests and related first line assays principally focused on early detection of patients with indeterminate biopsies and at high risk of cancer using the latest technology to help personalized medicine and improve patient diagnosis and management. Our tests andclinical 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 tests in the marketplace for which we are receiving reimbursement: PancraGEN®, which is a pancreatic cyst and pancreaticobiliary solid lesion genomic test that helps physicians better assess risk of pancreaticobiliary cancers using our proprietary PathFinderTG® platform; ThyGeNEXT®, which is an expanded oncogenic mutation panel that helps identify malignant thyroid nodules, and replaced ThyGenX®; ThyraMIR®, which assesses thyroid nodules for risk of malignancy utilizing a proprietary microRNA gene expression assay; and RespriDx®, which is a genomic test that helps physicians differentiate metastatic or recurrent lung cancer from the presence of newly formed primary lung cancer and which also utilizes our PathFinderTG® platform to compare the genomic 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 assist us in positioning our product for full launch, partnering and potentially supporting reimbursement with payers.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)

The Company derivesderive its revenues from the performance of its proprietary assays or tests. The Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled upon the completion, review and release of test results to the customer. The Company subsequently bills third-party payers or direct-bill payers for the proprietary tests performed. RevenueUnder Accounting Standards Codification 606, revenue is recognized based on the estimated transaction price or net realizable value (“NRV”),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 CompanyFor our clinical services, we regularly reviewsreview the ultimate amounts received from the third-party and direct-bill payers and related estimated reimbursement rates and adjustsadjust 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.

Financing and Payment

 

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

 

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 receivablereceivables represent unconditional rights to consideration and are generated using its proprietary molecular diagnostic tests.clinical services and pharma services. The Company’s clinical services are fulfilled upon completion of the test, review and release of the test results. In conjunction with fulfilling these services, the Company bills the third-party payer or directly bills the hospital or service provider. Accounts receivable is recognized for all payer groups net of contractual adjustment and net of estimated uncollectable amounts.direct-bill payer. Contractual adjustments represent the difference between the list prices and the reimbursement raterates set by third party payers, including Medicare, commercial payers, orand amounts billed directly to hospitals and service providers.direct-bill payers. Specific accounts may be written off after several appeals, which in some cases may take longer than twelve months. Pharma services represent, primarily, the performance of laboratory tests in support of clinical trials for pharma services customers. The Company bills these services directly to the customer.

 

Leases

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

 

Our lease terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend (or to not terminate) the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with terms of twelve months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of an asset or liability.See Note 6, 7,Leases.

Long-Lived Assets, including Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

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

 

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

Discontinued Operations

The Company accounts for business dispositions and its businesses held for sale in accordance with ASC 205-20,Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”).

5.6.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

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

 

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

15

 

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

(1)(2)See Note 8,9,Accrued Expenses and Long-Term Liabilities

 

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 issued 575,000 Underwriters Warrants, related to a public offering on the same date that included a cash settlement feature in the event of certain circumstances. Accordingly, the 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 underlying exchange agreement. Changes to the fair value of the warrant liabilities were recorded in Other income (expense), net.

6.7.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-useFinance lease assets and $2.5 millionare included in fixed assets, net 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.depreciation.

10.11.INCOME TAXES

 

Generally, accounting standards require companies to provide for income taxes each quarter based on their estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes allows use of the discrete method when it provides a better estimate of income tax expense. Due to the Company’s valuation allowance position, it is the Company’s position that the discrete method provides a more accurate estimate of income tax expense and therefore income tax expense for the current quarter has been presented using the discrete method. As the year progresses, the Company refines its estimate based on the facts and circumstances by each tax jurisdiction. The following table summarizes income tax expense on (loss) incomeloss from continuing operations and the effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018:2019:

17.18.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently adopted standardsStandards not yet effective

 

In February 2016,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, LeasesNo. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 842), which740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 will simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendment is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Topic 842 establishes a right-of-use model2020. We do not expect 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. Leases are to be classified as either finance or operating leases, with such classification affecting the pattern or expense recognition in the statementrequirements of operations. We adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2019, by using the alternative modified transition method. See Note 3,Significant Accounting Policies, for more details.

18.SUBSEQUENT EVENT

As previously disclosed on the Company’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 requirement of NASDAQ. 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 14, 2019 to regain compliance with this requirement or face delisting. To regain compliance, the bid price of our common stock mustASU 2017-04 will 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 we do not regain compliance by October 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 Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice ofmaterial impact on 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.consolidated financial statements.

19.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Federal Stimulus Programs in Connection with Coronavirus Pandemic

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

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

Amendment to Morrisville, North Carolina lease

On June 3, 2020, Interpace Pharma Solutions, Inc. (“IPS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with Southport Business Park Limited Partnership (“the Landlord”) to amend its Morrisville, North Carolina lease effective June 1, 2020 (the “Amendment”). This lease was originally entered into on June 12, 2004 by the Landlord and Cancer Genetics, Inc., the Company’s predecessor-in-interest (the “Original Lease”) and was assigned to the Company on July 15, 2019 (the “Lease Assignment”). The Original Lease together with all amendments, as assigned by the Lease Assignment constitutes the “Lease.” The Company re-affirmed its Guaranty of Lease, dated July 15, 2019, in the Amendment, guaranteeing the obligations of IPS under the Lease.

The Amendment provides for an extension of the term of the Lease, which consists of approximately 24,906 square feet utilized by IPS as laboratory and office space to provide its pharma solutions services. The terms of the Lease were set to expire on May 31, 2020. Pursuant to the Amendment, the term of the Lease was extended for ten additional years, commencing on June 1, 2020 and continuing until May 31, 2030 (the “Term”). The minimum rent per rentable square foot pursuant to the Amendment is $14.10 from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021, with annual increases of 3%. The minimum rent during the first year under the Amendment is $351,174.60, which is subject to a rent abatement consisting of six months of rent forgiveness totaling $175,587, provided there is no outstanding uncured event of default (as defined in the Lease). The Company shall continue to pay to Landlord additional rent, representing the Company’s proportionate share of any direct expenses, as stipulated in the Lease.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company has two options to extend the Term for a period of five years each (the “Extended Terms”). Minimum rent during the Extended Terms, if such options are exercised by the Company, is subject to certain “market value” adjustments as provided for in the Amendment. Also pursuant to the Amendment, the Company has the irrevocable right to terminate the Lease on November 30, 2025, as well as on November 30, 2027, providing certain timely notification is given to Landlord, specified events occur (such as a merger or sale of the Company’s business), and specified termination payments are made to Landlord.

OVERVIEW

 

We are a fully integrated commercialan emerging leader in enabling precision medicine principally in oncology by offering specialized services along the therapeutic value chain from early diagnosis and bioinformatics company that developsprognostic planning to targeted therapeutic applications through our clinical services and providespharma services. Through our clinical services, we enable physicians to personalize the clinical management of each individual patient by providing genomic information to better diagnose, monitor and inform cancer treatment. Our clinical services provide clinically useful molecular diagnostic tests, bioinformatics and pathology services. We develop and commercialize genomic tests and related first line assays principally focused on early detection of patients with indeterminate biopsies and at highservices for evaluating risk of cancer usingby leveraging the latest technology to helpin personalized medicine and improvefor improved patient diagnosis and management. OurThrough our pharma services, we develop, commercialize and provide molecular- and biomarker-based tests and services and provide mutational analysiscompanies with customized solutions for patient stratification and treatment selection through an extensive suite of genomic material contained in suspicious cysts, nodulesmolecular and lesionsbiomarker-based testing services, DNA- and RNA- extraction and customized assay development and trial design consultation. Our pharma services provide pharmacogenomics testing, genotyping, biorepository and other specialized services to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries and advances personalized medicine by partnering with pharmaceutical, academic and technology leaders to effectively integrate pharmacogenomics into drug development and clinical trial programs with the goalgoals of better informing treatment decisions in patients at risk of thyroid, pancreatic,delivering safer, more effective drugs to market more quickly, 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 tests in the marketplace for which we are receiving reimbursement: PancraGEN®, which is a pancreatic cyst and pancreaticobiliary solid lesion genomic test that helps physicians better assess risk of pancreaticobiliary cancers using our proprietary PathFinderTG®platform; ThyGeNEXT®, which is an expanded oncogenic mutation panel that helps identify malignant thyroid nodules and replaced ThyGenX®; ThyraMIR®, which assesses thyroid nodules for risk of malignancy utilizing a proprietary microRNA gene expression assay; and RespriDx®, which is a genomic test that helps physicians differentiate metastatic or recurrent lung cancer from the presence of newly formed primary lung cancer and which also utilizes our PathFinderTG® platform to compare the genomic 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 assist us in positioning our product for full launch, partnering and potentially supporting reimbursement with payers.improving patient care.

 

Our mission is to provide personalized medicine through genomics-based diagnostics and innovation to advance patient care based on rigorous science. Our laboratories are licensed pursuant to federal law under CLIA and are accreditedDuring fiscal 2019, in connection with the acquisition of our pharma services, we raised $27 million with Ampersand, a diagnostic laboratory private equity investor. This was followed by 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,raising an additional $20 million 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 licensed and accredited laboratories to develop and commercialize our assays and products. We aim to provide physicians and patients with diagnostic options for detecting genomic and other molecular alterations that are associated with gastrointestinal, endocrine, and 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.early 2020 led by 1315 Capital, another sophisticated private equity investor. We believe that the molecular diagnostics market offers significantcombination of our clinical services and acquired pharma services uniquely positions us for growth and strong patient value givenexpansion in the substantial opportunity it affordsfast-growing biopharma sector where we can provide our unique diagnostic capabilities to lower healthcare costs by helpinga broad customer base.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

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

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our molecular diagnostic tests, introducing related first line productoperations continues to depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and service extensions, as well as expandingcannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus outbreak. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally has adversely affecting global economies and financial markets resulting in an economic downturn which could materially and adversely impact our business by developingoperations including, without limitation, the functioning of our laboratories, the availability of supplies including reagents, the progress and promoting synergistic products indata collection of our markets. pharma services, customer demand and travel and employee health and availability.

We also believe that BarreGen®the COVID-19 pandemic will also adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and possibly beyond. Our fiscal 2020 first quarter revenue was impacted by lower than expected clinical service volume throughout March 2020, which we believe has resulted from the temporary reduction in non-essential testing procedures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, we did reduce overall costs to match the lower volumes in the labs.

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

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

All of our labs are currently operating and we believe we are appropriately staffed for the volume of work. At this time, we do not anticipate any lab closures beyond temporary work stoppages from time to time to clean and disinfect the labs. Lab supplies including reagents have been secured to mitigate any potential supply chain issues for the foreseeable future and we are providing necessary resourcesnot observing any shortages due to acceleratesupply chain issues. Our third party clinical services billing and collections company has taken steps to continue operations remotely. There have been indications that payer processing may slow down but so far there has been little or no material impact to our development process. Further,collections.

As of May 2020, we believe BarreGEN® is synergistic with our capabilitiesare in the gastrointestinal market, whichprocess of launching a new product line of antibody testing for the COVID-19 virus. Validation is onecomplete; we have acquired acceptable kits and reference samples and are now offering this testing to our employees and customers. The serological, or antibody, test measures the amount of antibodies present in the blood. In response to an infection, such as COVID-19, the body develops an overall immune response to fight the infection. One component of the sectorsimmune system’s response is the development of antibodies that attach to the virus and help eliminate it. Antibody tests detect the body’s immune response to the infection caused by the virus rather than detecting the virus itself. The FDA has issued guidance allowing companies to market serological tests that have been validated following notification to FDA. Validated antibody tests offered under the policy should, among other things, include in whichtest reports language explaining that negative results do not rule out COVID-19 infection and that follow-up testing with a molecular diagnostic should be considered to rule out infection. There is no guarantee that we operate.

DESCRIPTION OF REPORTING SEGMENTSRevenue Recognition

 

Since December 22, 2015, the Company reportsClinical services derive 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.

Revenue

The Company’s revenue is generatedrevenues from the performance of its proprietary molecular diagnosticsassays or tests. The Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled upon completion, review and release of test results and subsequent billing to the customer. The Company subsequently bills third-party payers or direct-bill payers for the tests performed. Under Accounting Standards Codification 606, revenue is recognized based on the estimated transaction price or net realizable value (“NRV”), which is determined based on historical collection rates by each payer or hospital.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.

 

Under ASC 606,For our clinical services, we regularly review the ultimate amounts received from the third-party and direct-bill payers and related estimated reimbursement rates and adjust the NRV’s and related contractual allowances accordingly. If actual collections and related NRV’s vary significantly from our estimates, we adjust the estimates of contractual allowances, which would affect net revenue in the period such variances become known.

For our pharma services customers, performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time as the Company recognizes revenue for billings less contractual allowancesprocesses samples delivered by the customer. Project level activities, including study setup and estimated uncollectable amounts for all payer groups onproject management, are satisfied over the accrual basis based uponlife of the contract. Revenues are recognized at 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 NRV is evaluated quarterly or as needed and then applied to future periods until recalculated.

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery is deemed to have occurred upon completion, review, and release ofpoint in time when the test results or other deliverables are reported to the customer.

Deferred Revenue

For our pharma services, project level fee revenue is recognized as deferred revenue and recorded at which time we billedfair value. It represents payments received in advance of services rendered and is recognized ratably over the third-party payor or hospital. The assessmentlife of the fixed or determinable naturecontract.

Cost of the fees charged for diagnostic testing performed, and the collectability of those fees, requires significant judgment by our management. Our management believes 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 believe 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.Revenue

 

Cost of servicesrevenue 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, royalty expenses, and facility expenses.

This increase was principally attributable to increased testour acquisition of our pharma services business in 2019. Our first quarter revenue was impacted by lower than expected clinical service volume for our thyroid tests.throughout March 2020, which we believe has resulted from the temporary reduction in non-essential testing procedures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our accounts receivable increased to $11.0January 2020, $0.4 million from $6.4sales of common stock, and was partially offset by $1.8 million at the endin a net repayment of Q1funds under our revolving line of 2018, principally due to our growing revenues and partially due to the impact of the adoption of ASC 606. We began recognizing all of our revenue on an accrual basis effective January 1, 2018. Prior to that date, revenue from certain payer groups was being recognized on a cash basis. Therefore as of March 31, 2019, we have been using the full accrual basis for 15 months, as compared to only 3 months as of March 31, 2018. Additionally we changed our billing and collections contractor and we are still in the process of finalizing transition.

credit with SVB. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, there was cash provided from financing activities of $6.0 million which resulted from the issuance of common stock in our underwritten public offering completed in January 2019.

 

In September 2019, we entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., as sales agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock in an aggregate offering price of up to $4.8 million through the Agent. See Note 16,Equity of the notes to the financial statements for more details. In January 2020, 80,341 shares (as adjusted for the reverse stock split) of common stock were sold for net proceeds of approximately $0.4 million.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had drawn $1.2 million of the $3.75 million of available funds under its Revolving Line with SVB. As of June 17, 2020, we had no funds available on the Revolving Line because we were fully drawn.

In January 2020, we sold 20,000 preferred shares to investors, led by 1315 Capital, for net proceeds of approximately $19.5 million; see Note 16,Equityof the footnotes to the financial statements for more detail.

As of June 17, 2020, we received $2.1 million in advances under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) accelerated and advance payment program, as well as a $0.65 million grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS). The CMS advance will be offset against future Medicare billings of the Company, and the HSS grant is subject to certain conditions regarding its use, including developing coronavirus and serology tests. These grants and advances require certain certifications by the Company and impose specific limitations on the use of the proceeds. Based on these restrictions and limitations, the Company is treating the $0.65 million HSS grant as restricted cash until we have clarity on how the funds can be utilized by the Company based on the specific requirements of the HSS. Furthermore, although the Company initially explored the possibility of requesting a loan under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program, we elected not to complete an application because we are not certain we meet certain criteria of the program.

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

We do not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations for the year ending December 31, 2020. We intend to meet our ongoing capital needs by drivingusing our available cash, proceeds under the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, additional borrowings under the Line of Credit as well as increasing our line of credit limit as a result of the additional accounts receivable acquired in July 2019 as part of our acquisition of pharma services (which requires a modification to the bank agreement and approval by SVB which cannot be assured, revenue growth and margin improvement, collecting accounts receivable, containing costs as well as exploring other financing options. Our planned capital expenditures over the next twelve months currently includes several million dollars to be utilized in consolidating our laboratories, which includes equipment purchases, calibration and testing costs, moving and other related costs, and leasehold improvements. Management believes that the Company has sufficient cash on hand and available to sustain operations through at least May 31, 2020. ThereJune 30, 2021. However, in the event the Company is unable to maintain its Nasdaq listing for its common stock due to a failure to meet minimum stockholder equity requirements due to the classification of its preferred stock as temporary equity, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted. Therefore, there is no guarantee that additional capital can be raised to fund our future operations.

Inflation

 

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