Note A – Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Parent”), and its subsidiaries NeoGenomics Laboratories, Inc.(the “Parent”, a Florida corporation (“NEO” or, “NeoGenomics Laboratories”), NeoGenomics Bioinformatics Inc., a Florida corporation, Path Labs LLC., a Delaware limited liability company (“PathLogic”) and Clarient Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary Clarient Diagnostic Services, Inc. (together, “Clarient”), (collectively referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”, “NeoGenomics”“Company”, or the “Company”“NeoGenomics”), operates as a certified “high complexity”high complexity clinical laboratory in accordance with the federal government’s Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act, as amended (“CLIA”), and is dedicated to the delivery of clinical diagnostic services to pathologists, oncologists, urologists, hospitals, and other laboratories throughout the United States and Europe.  

as well as providing clinical trial services to pharmaceutical firms.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. These accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been condensed or omitted in these accompanying interim consolidated financial statements.statements and footnotes. Accordingly, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with2018.  The year-end consolidated balance sheet informationhas been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements in the SEC on March 14, 2017.  

annual report as of December 31, 2018, but does not include all the disclosures required by accounting principles.

The results of operations presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any future periods. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the results of all interim periods reported herein.

We have one

The Company reports its activities in two operating segments; the Clinical Services Segment and the Pharma Services Segment. These reportable operating segment that deliverssegments deliver testing services to hospitals, pathologists, oncologists, other clinicians, pharmaceutical firms and researchers which representsand represent 100% of the Company’s consolidated assets, net revenues and net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.  We have evaluated our segments based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer, reviews performance and makes decisions in managing the Company.  At September 30, 2017, we provided services within the United States and Europe and had assets located within the United States and Europe.

We have two primary types of customers, clinical and pharma.  Our clinical customers include community based pathology practices, oncology groups, hospitals and academic centers.  Our pharma customers include pharmaceutical companies to whom we provide testing and other services to support their studies and clinical trials.  As we grow, we continue to assess the information available to the CODM.  Currently, discreteeach period presented. For further financial information is not available to the CODM about the separate financial performance of our clinical and our pharma customers.  As we continue to grow and focus separately on the two customer types we will routinely assess the information available and reviewed by the CODM and determine if we meet the criteria for having separate segments.

Correction of Immaterial Accounting Error

The Company performed an internal analysis in the third quarter of 2017 which identified an immaterial error in the revenue reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.  We have concluded that the error identified was not material to any prior annual or interim periods.  We assessed the extent of this error and it was corrected in the third quarter of 2017, resulting in a reduction of revenue, and thus a corresponding reduction in accounts receivable of $2.4 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. See Item 4. Controls and Procedures for additional details regarding this error.

these segments, see Note N.


Note B – Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance

Adopted

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease accounting standard using the modified retrospective method and using the optional transition method to apply the new lease accounting standard prospectively as of January 1, 2019, rather than as of the earliest period presented. Therefore, the adoption of the new lease accounting standard did not change our previous reported financial statements. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. This allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification and not reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease, or determination of initial direct costs.  Adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of net operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $9.7 million and corresponding operating lease liabilities of $10.1 million. We elected the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of leases as a single lease component. Additionally, we elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease terms for existing leases. The adoption did not materially impact the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Cash Flows. Refer to Note C herein for further details regarding the impact of the adoption of Topic 842 and other information related to the Company's lease portfolio.

Issued
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which modifies the measurement and recognition of credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The new standard requires the use of forward-looking expected credit loss models based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount, which may result in earlier recognition of credit losses under the new standard. This new standard also requires that credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities be recorded as an allowance through net income rather than reducing the carrying amount under the current, other-than-temporary-impairment model. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years. The Company plans to implement the new standard in the first quarter of 2020, and is in the process of reviewing its credit loss models to assess the impact of the adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This standard clarifies the definition of a business and providesnew guidance on when transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets and when they should be accounted for as acquisitions of businesses.  The Company early adopted this standard on July 1, 2017 and applied this guidance to the customer list

that was acquired on August 1, 2017.  The customer list acquired was not determined to meet the definition of a business under this standard and was therefore determined to be an asset acquisition.  

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The standard update required excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded directly through earnings as a component of income tax expense. Under previous GAAP, these differences were generally recorded in additional paid-in capital and thus had no impact on net income. The change impacted the computation of diluted earnings per share, and the cash flows associated with those items are now classified as operating activities on the condensed statements of consolidated cash flows.  Entities were permitted to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards. Forfeitures could be estimated, as required under previous GAAP, or recognized when they occur.  

The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017 using the transition method prescribed for each applicable provision:

Based on the implementation guidance, previously unrecognized excess tax benefits should be on a modified retrospective basis beginning in the period the guidance is adopted.  Accordingly, the Company recorded an increase in deferred tax assets and an offsetting cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $6.6 million as of January 1, 2017 for excess tax benefits not previously recognized.

Based on the implementation guidance, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share based compensation will be reported in net income (loss) on a prospective basis.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, no income (loss) was reported.  

The Company has elected to retrospectively adopteliminates the requirement to present cash flows relatedcalculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess tax benefits as cash flows from operating activities.  This adoption had no effect on cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures in compensation cost as they occur.

Issued

In August 2017 the FASB issuedof a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging.  This standard refines hedge accounting to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results.   This update2017-14 is effective for annual periodspublic business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and2019, including interim periods within those annual periods.  Earlyfiscal years, and early adoption is permitted.

This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.2019, and interim periods within those periods, and early adoption is permitted. Certain provisions of the ASU must be adopted retrospectively, while others must be adopted prospectively. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, or ASU 2018-15, that changes the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The implementation costs should be presented as a prepaid asset on the balance sheet and expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The standard is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expectis in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material effectthe standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Note CGoodwillLeases
The Company is a lessee of corporate office, laboratory space, and Other:  Simplifyingequipment throughout the Test for Goodwill Impairment.  This standard eliminates Step 2world, nearly all of which are classified as operating leases expiring at various dates. The Company determines if an arrangement qualifies as a lease at lease inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet. Operating lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of the goodwill impairment test. Instead,future lease payments over the lease term, assessed as of the commencement date. The Company’s real estate leases, which are comprised primarily of office and laboratory space, represent the vast majority of our operating lease liabilities and generally have a lease term between 1 and 10 years. The remaining leases consist primarily of machinery and equipment used in the lab and office equipment, each with various lease terms. The vast majority of the Company's leases are comprised of fixed lease payments. Certain real estate leases also include executory costs such as common area maintenance (non-lease component), as well as property insurance and property taxes (non-components). Lease payments, which may include lease components, non-lease components and non-components, are included in the measurement of the Company’s lease liabilities to the extent that such payments are either fixed amounts or variable amounts based on a rate or index (fixed in substance) as stipulated in the lease contract. Any actual costs in excess of such amounts are expensed as incurred as variable lease cost.
Substantially all of our operating lease agreements do not specify an entity should performimplicit borrowing rate, and as such, the Company utilizes its annual or interim goodwill impairment testincremental borrowing rate by comparinglease term in order to calculate the fairpresent value of our future lease payments. The discount rate represents a reporting unitrisk-adjusted rate on a secured basis, and is the rate at which the Company would borrow funds to satisfy the scheduled lease liability payment streams commensurate with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment chargethe lease term. On January 1, 2019, the discount rate used on existing leases at adoption was determined based on the remaining lease term using available data as of that date. For new or renewed leases starting in 2019, the discount rate is determined using available data at lease commencement and based on the lease term.
Some of the Company's lease agreements, primarily related to real estate, include options for the Company to either renew (extend) or early terminate the lease. Leases with renewal options allow the Company to extend the lease term typically between 1 and 5 years. Renewal options are reviewed at lease commencement to determine if such options are reasonably certain of being exercised, which could impact the lease term. When determining if a renewal option is reasonably certain of being exercised, the Company considers several factors, including but not limited to, the significance of leasehold improvements incurred on the property, whether the asset is difficult to replace, or specific characteristics unique to the particular lease that would make it reasonably certain that we would exercise such option. In most cases, the Company has concluded that renewal and early termination options are not reasonably certain of being exercised by the Company (and thus not included in our ROU asset and lease liability) unless there is an economic, financial or business reason to do so.

Operating Leases
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, total operating lease cost was $1.5 million, which includes an immaterial amount of variable lease cost, and is recorded in cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the leased asset. Other than variable lease cost, operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The following summarizes: (i) the future minimum undiscounted lease payments under non-cancelable leases for the remainder of 2019 as well as each of the next five years and thereafter, incorporating the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for our existing real estate leases, and (ii) a reconciliation of the undiscounted lease payments to the present value of the lease liabilities recognized as of March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Note D – Revenue Recognition and Contractual Adjustments
The Company has two operating segments for which it recognizes revenue; Clinical Services and Pharma Services. Our Clinical Services segment provides various clinical testing services to community-based pathology practices, hospital pathology labs and academic centers with reimbursement from various payers including client direct billing, commercial insurance, Medicare and other government payers, and patients. Our Pharma Services segment supports pharmaceutical firms in their drug development programs by providing testing services for clinical trials and research.
Clinical Services Revenue
The Company’s specialized diagnostic services are performed based on a written test requisition form or electronic equivalent. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenues are recognized once the diagnostic services have been performed and the results have been delivered to the ordering physician. These diagnostic services are billed to various payers, including Medicare, commercial insurance companies, other directly billed healthcare institutions such as hospitals and clinics, and individuals. Revenue is recorded for all payers based on the amount expected to be collected, which considers implicit price concessions. Implicit price concessions represent differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration the Company expects to receive based on negotiated discounts, historical collection experience and other anticipated adjustments, including anticipated payer denials. Collection of consideration the Company expects to receive typically occurs within 30 to 60 days of billing for commercial insurance, Medicare and other governmental and self-pay payers and within 60 to 90 days of billing for client payers.
Pharma Services Revenue
The Company’s Pharma Services segment generally enters into contracts with pharmaceutical and biotech customers as well as other Contract Research Organizations (“CROs”) to provide research and clinical trial services ranging in duration from one month to several years. The Company records revenue on a unit-of-service basis based on number of units completed and the total expected contract value. The total expected contract value is estimated based on historical experience of total contracted units compared to realized units as well as known factors on a specific contract-by-contract basis. Certain contracts include upfront fees, final settlement amounts or billing milestones that may not align with the completion of performance obligations. The value of these upfront fees or final settlement amounts is usually recognized over time based on the number of units completed, which aligns with the progress of the Company towards fulfilling its obligations under the contract.
The Company also enters into other contracts, such as validation studies, for which the carrying amount exceedssole deliverable is a final report that is sent to sponsors at the reporting unit’s fair value; however,completion of contracted activities. For these contracts, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the lossfinal report to the sponsor. Any contracts that contain multiple performance obligations and include both units-of-service and point in time deliverables are accounted for as separate performance obligations and revenue is recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021.  Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.as previously disclosed. The Company does not expectnegotiates billing schedules and payment terms on a contract-by-contract basis. While the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to havecontract terms generally provide for payments based on a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.  

In August 2016,unit-of-service arrangement, the FASB issued “ASU” 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receiptsbilling schedules, payment terms and Cash Payments.  This standard clarifies how specific cash receipts andrelated cash payments may not align with the performance of services and, as such, may not correspond to revenue recognized in any given period.

Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are classified and presented in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The updaterequires organizations to recognize lease assets and leasedeferred as contract liabilities on the balance sheetsheet. The associated revenue is recognized and the contract liability is reduced as the contracted services are subsequently performed. Contract assets are established for those leasesrevenue that has been recognized but not yet billed. These contract assets are reduced once the customer is invoiced and a corresponding account receivable is recorded. Additionally, certain costs to obtain contracts, primarily for sales commissions, are capitalized when incurred and are amortized over the term of the contract. Amounts capitalized for contracts with an initial contract term of twelve months or less are classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a

current assets and all others are classified as non-current assets.
Most contracts are terminable by the customer, either immediately or according to advance notice terms specified within the contracts.  All contracts require payment of fees to the Company for services rendered through the date of termination and may require payment for subsequent services necessary to conclude the study or close out the contract.

In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this ASU to the first quarter of 2018, with optional early adoption beginning in the first quarter of 2017.  The ASU can be applied using a full retrospective method or a modified retrospective method of adoption.  The Company expects to adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 using a full retrospective method of adoption.  We anticipate the adoption of this standard to impact ourClinical Services and Pharma Services revenue, specifically the timingsegments in determining appropriate levels of homogeneous data for its disaggregation of revenue, recognition for our long term research and clinical trials contracts.  Many of these contracts have distinct terms which need to be evaluated separately, therefore, we are still in the process of contract review in order to determine the quantitative impact this standard will have on our Pharma Services revenue.  We also expect this standard to impact our Clinical testing revenue.  Under the new standard, substantially all of our bad debt expense which has historically been presented as part of selling, general and administrative expenses will be considered an implicit price concession and will be reported as a reduction in revenue.  We also anticipate enhanced financial statement disclosures surroundingincluding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. For Clinical Services, the categories identified align with our type of customer due to similarities of billing method, level of reimbursement and timing of cash receipts at this level. Unbilled amounts are accrued and allocated to payor categories based on historical experience. In future periods, actual billings by payor category may differ from accrued amounts. Pharma Services revenue was not further disaggregated as substantially all of our revenue relates to contracts with large pharmaceutical and biotech customers as well as other CROs for which the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows is similar and primarily driven by individual contract terms.

(“Genoptix”, and collectively with its subsidiaries and Genesis, referred to herein as "Genoptix"), for a purchase price consisting of (i) cash consideration of approximately $127.0 million, which included approximately $2.0 million in estimated working capital adjustments and adjustments for estimated cash on hand of Genoptix on the Closing Date and (ii) 1.0 million shares of NeoGenomics’ common stock pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 23, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”).

Cartesian Medical Group, Inc. (“Cartesian”) is a California professional corporation that provided hematopathology and other pathology services to Genoptix as an independent contractor. Cartesian was consolidated into Genoptix as a variable interest entity. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the professional services agreement between Genoptix and Cartesian was terminated and the Company entered into separate medical services agreements with the entities owned by the physicians who were previously employees of Cartesian. The termination of the agreement with Cartesian did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company issued approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock as consideration for the acquisition of Genoptix. This common stock was issued as uncertificated shares, which carries a minimum six-month holding period before they may be sold to the public. We estimated the fair value of the common stock consideration using inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. The key assumption in the fair value determination was a 5 percent discount due to lack of marketability of the common stock as a result of the restrictions imposed on the holder. The acquisition date fair value of common stock transferred is calculated below (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date of December 10, 2018 and measurement period adjustments recorded during the first quarter of 2019. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a $2.4 million working capital adjustment to the original cash consideration, as defined within the Merger Agreement, of which $0.4 million is payable in cash and the remainder is payable as a return of shares. Additionally, certain other measurement period adjustments were recorded related to property and equipment and accounts receivable during the first quarter of 2019. The Company is in the process completing its valuation of certain assets and liabilities, primarily related to accounts receivable and accounts payable assumed; thus, the provisional measurements of current assets and current liabilities are subject to change.

Upon termination of the interest rate swap agreement, we will reclassify gains or losses on derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI)(“AOCI”) to earnings. If the swap were terminated, based on interest rates in effect at March 31, 2019, we estimate that we would reclassify approximately $1.0 million from AOCI to earnings during the next twelve months as it was determined that there wasthe anticipated cash flows occur.

Note G – Revenue Recognition and Contractual Adjustments

The Company recognizes revenues when (a) the price is fixed or determinable, (b) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (c) the service is performed and (d) collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company’s specialized diagnostic services are performed based on a written test requisition form or electronic equivalent, and revenues are recognized once the diagnostic services have been performed, and the results have been delivered to the ordering physician.  These diagnostic services are billed to various payers, including Medicare, commercial insurance companies, other directly billed healthcare institutions such as hospitals and clinics, and individuals.  The Company reports revenues from contracted payers, including Medicare, certain insurance companies and certain healthcare institutions, based on the contractual rate, or in the case of Medicare, published fee schedules.  The Company reports revenues from non-contracted payers, including certain insurance companies and individuals, based on the amount expected to be collected.  The difference between the amount billed and the amount estimated to be collected from non-contracted payers is recorded as an allowance to arrive at the reported net revenues.  The expected revenues from non-contracted payers are based on the historical collection experience of each payer or payer group, as appropriate.  The Company records revenues from patient pay tests net of a large discount and as a result recognizes minimal revenue on those tests.  The Company regularly reviews its historical collection experience for non-contracted payers and adjusts its expected revenues for current and subsequent periods accordingly.  On January 1, 2017, we had a significant reduction in our patient fee schedule that primarily impacts the amount billed to uninsured patients.

The table below shows the adjustments made to gross service revenues to arrive at net revenues (in thousands), the amount reported on our statements of operations.

Note K - Income Taxes

To calculate its interim tax provision, at the end of each interim period the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate and $0, respectively.  Duringapplies that to its ordinary quarterly earnings. The effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates and excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to future stock option exercises are recognized in the nineinterim period in which the change occurs. In addition, the effect of significant, unusual, or infrequent items are recognized in the interim period in which the event occurs. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences between book and tax amounts, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes.

The income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019, relates primarily to pre-tax loss incurred for the period including the Health Discovery Corporation litigation (see Note L) for which the income tax benefit is recognized within the quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate of 45.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to permanent differences from stock compensation and 2016, employees purchased 74,756losses in foreign jurisdictions with no associated tax benefit.

We operate a network of cancer-focused genetic testing laboratories in the United States.  States,Europe and Asia. Our mission is to improve patient care through exceptional genetic and molecularcancer-focused testing services. Our vision is to become the World’s leading cancer testing and information company by delivering uncompromising quality, exceptional service and innovative solutions.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Company had laboratory locations in Ft. Myers and Tampa, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; Aliso Viejo, Carlsbad and Fresno, CA; TampaCalifornia; Houston, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; Rolle, Switzerland and Fort Myers, FL; Houston, TX and Nashville, TN.  Singapore. The Company currently offers the following types of genetictesting services:
a.Cytogenetics (karyotype analysis) - the study of normal and abnormal chromosomes and their relationship to disease. It involves analyzing the chromosome structure to identify changes from patterns seen in normal chromosomes. Cytogenetic studies are often performed to provide diagnostic, prognostic and occasionally predictive information for patients with hematological malignancies.
b.Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (“FISH”) - a molecular cytogenetic technique that focuses on detecting and localizing the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences and genes on chromosomes. The technique uses fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with which they show a high degree of sequence similarity. Fluorescence microscopy is used to visualize the fluorescent probes bound to the chromosomes. FISH can be used to help identify numerous types of gene alterations, including amplifications, deletions, and translocations.
c.Flow cytometry - a technique utilized to measure the characteristics of cell populations. Typically performed on liquid samples such as peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate, it may also be performed on solid tissue samples such as lymph nodes following additional processing steps. Cells are labeled with selective fluorescent antibodies and analyzed as they flow in a fluid stream through a beam of light. The properties measured in these antibodies include the relative size, relative granularity or internal complexity, and relative fluorescence intensity. These fluorescent antibodies bind to specific cellular antigens and are used to identify abnormal and/or malignant cell populations. Flow cytometry is typically utilized in diagnosing a wide variety of hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms. Flow cytometry is also used to monitor patients during the course of therapy to identify extremely low levels of residual malignant cells, known as minimal residual disease (MRD).
d.Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Digital Imaging – Refers to the process of localizing cellular proteins in tissue sections and relies on the principle of antigen-antibody binding.. IHC is widely used in the diagnosis of abnormal cells such as those found in cancer. Specific surface membrane, cytoplasmic, or nuclear markers may be identified. IHC is also widely used to understand the distribution and localization of differentially expressed proteins. Digital imaging allows clients to visualize scanned slides, and also perform quantitative analysis for certain stains. Scanned slides are received online in real time and can be previewed often a full day before the glass slides can be shipped back to clients.
e.Molecular testing services:

a)

Cytogenetics - the study of normal and abnormal chromosomes and their relationship to disease. It involves looking at the chromosome structure to identify changes from patterns seen in normal chromosomes. Cytogenetic studies are often utilized to answer diagnostic, prognostic and predictive questions in the treatment of hematological malignancies.

- a rapidly growing field which includes a broad range of laboratory techniques utilized in cancer testing. Most molecular techniques rely on the analysis of DNA and/or RNA, as well as the structure and function of genes at the molecular level. Molecular testing technologies include: DNA fragment length analysis; polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis; reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, real-time (or quantitative) polymerase chain reaction (pPCR) analysis; bi-directional Sanger sequencing analysis;and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis.

b)

Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (“FISH”) - a branch of cancer genetics that focuses on detecting and locating the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences and genes on chromosomes. FISH helps bridge abnormality detection between the chromosomal and DNA sequence levels. The technique uses fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with which they show a high degree of sequence similarity. Fluorescence microscopy is used to visualize the fluorescent probes bound to the chromosomes. FISH can be used to help identify a number of gene alternations, such as amplification, deletions, and translocations.

f.Morphologic analysis – refers to the process of analyzing cells under the microscope by a pathologist, usually for the purpose of diagnosis. Morphologic analysis may be performed on a wide variety of samples, such as peripheral blood, bone marrow, lymph node, and other sites such as lung, breast, etc. The services provided at NeoGenomics may include primary diagnosis, in which a sample is received for processing and our pathologists provide the initial diagnosis; or may include secondary consultations, in which slides and/or tissue blocks are received from an outside institution for second opinion. In the latter setting, the expert pathologists at NeoGenomics assist our client pathologists on their most difficult and complex cases.

c)

Flow cytometry - a rapid way to measure the characteristics of cell populations. Cells from peripheral blood, bone marrow aspirate, lymph nodes, and other areas are labeled with selective fluorescent antibodies and analyzed as they flow in a fluid stream through a beam of light. The properties measured in these antibodies include the relative size, relative granularity or internal complexity, and relative fluorescence intensity. These fluorescent antibodies bind to specific cell surface antigens and are used to identify malignant cell populations. Flow cytometry is typically performed in diagnosing a wide variety of leukemia and lymphoma neoplasms. Flow cytometry is also used to monitor patients through therapy to determine whether the disease burden is increasing or decreasing, otherwise known as minimal residual disease monitoring.

Clinical Services Segment

d)

Immunohistochemistry (“IHC”) and Digital Imaging – Refers to the process of localizing proteins in cells of a tissue section and relies on the principle of antibodies binding specifically to antigens in biological tissues. IHC is widely used in the diagnosis of abnormal cells such as those found in cancerous tumors. Specific surface cytoplasmic or nuclear markers are characteristic of cellular events such as proliferation or cell death (apoptosis). IHC is also widely used to understand the distribution and localization of differentially expressed proteins.  Digital imaging allows clients to see and utilize scanned slides and perform quantitative analysis for certain stains.  Scanned slides are received online in real time and can be previewed often a full day before the glass slides can be shipped back to clients.

e)

Molecular testing - a rapidly growing cancer testing methodology that focuses on the analysis of DNA and RNA, as well as the structure and function of genes at the molecular level. Molecular testing employs multiple technologies including DNA fragment length analysis, real-time polymerase chain reaction (“RT-PCR”) RNA analysis, bi-directional Sanger sequencing analysis, and Next-Generation Sequencing (“NGS”).

f)

Pathology consultation - services provided to clients whereby our pathologists review surgical samples on a consultative basis. NeoGenomics pathologists are some of the foremost experts on pathology in the country, and are used as experts on difficult and challenging cases.

Clinical Cancer Testing Services

The clinical cancer testing services we offer to community-based pathologists are designed to be a natural extension of, and complementary to, the services that they perform within their own practices. We believe our relationship as a non-competitive partner to community-based pathology practices, hospital pathology labs and academic centers empowers them to expand their

breadth of testing and provide a menu of services that matches or exceeds the level of service found in any center of excellence around the world.

Community-based pathology practices and hospital pathology labs may order certain testing services on a technical component only (“TC” or “tech-only”) basis, which allows them to participate in the diagnostic process by performing the professional component (“PC”) interpretation services without having to hire laboratory technologists or purchase the sophisticated equipment needed to perform the technical component of the tests. We also support our pathology clients with interpretation and consultative services using our own specialized team of pathologists for difficult or complex cases and provide overflow interpretation services when requested by clients.

In addition, we directly serve oncology and other clinician practices that prefer to have a direct relationship with a laboratory for cancer-related testing services. We typically service these types of clients with a comprehensive service offering where we perform both the technical and professional components of the tests ordered. Included in these service offerings are our COMPASS and CHART reports. COMPASS is a hematopathologist-directed multi-platform comprehensive evaluation, which includes an integrated assessment in the final COMPASS consultation report. CHART is a longitudinal patient report comprised of a series of COMPASS reports generated over time. In certain instances larger clinician practices have begun to internalize some components of pathology services.When pathology interpretation services are internalized, our “tech-only” service offering allows these larger clinician practices to also participate in the diagnostic process by performing the PC interpretation services on TC testing performed by NeoGenomics. In these instances, NeoGenomics will typically provide all of the more complex, Molecular testing services.
Pharma Services and Clinical Trials

Segment

Our Pharma Services divisionsegment supports pharmaceutical firms in their drug development programs by supporting various clinical trials.trials and research. This portion of our business often involves working with the pharmaceutical firms (sponsors) on study design as well as performing the required testing. Our medical team often advises the sponsor and works closely with them as specimens are received from the enrolled sites. We also work on developing tests that will be used as part of a companion diagnostic to determine patients’ response to a particular drug. As studies unfold, our clinical trials team reports the data and often provide key analysis and insights back to the sponsors.

Our Pharma Services and Clinical Trials groupsegment provides comprehensive testing services in support of our pharmaceutical clients’ oncology programs from discovery to commercialization. In biomarker discovery, our aim is to help our customers discover the right content. We help our customers develop a biomarker hypothesis by recommending an optimal platform for molecular screening and backing our discovery tools with the informatics to capture meaningful data. In other pre and non-clinical work, we can use our platforms to characterize markers of interest. Moving from discovery to development, we help our customers refine their biomarker strategy and, if applicable, develop a companion diagnostic pathway using the optimal technology for large-scale clinical trial testing.

Whether serving as the single contract research organization or partnering with one, our Pharma Services and Clinical Trials team provides significant technical expertise, working closely with our customers to support each stage of clinical trial development. Each trial we support comes with rapid turnaround time, dedicated project management and quality assurance oversight.

We have renovatedbeen successful in retaining clients while also gaining market share. As we integrate Genoptix, our Aliso Viejo, CA laboratorygoal is to ensure that we maintain the highest quality operation.
Pursue Exceptional Service and are currently working on the expansion of our Houston, TX facility which we expect to complete by the end of the first quarter of 2018.  We completed the consolidation of our Irvine Lab facility into the Aliso Viejo Lab facility, and we fully vacated the Irvine facility on April 30, 2017.  We have also completed the sale of PathLogic on August 1, 2017 and therefore no longer have a laboratory in West Sacramento, CA.  We expect these changes in our business to result in additional capacity, economies of scale and operating efficiencies.

Accelerate Profitable Growth

Our plans for 20172019 include many initiatives to continue our strong organic growth by gaining market share, introducing new tests, and expanding our Pharma business.  Through the acquisition of Clarient we have significantly expanded our Pharma Services business, and plan to develop it further by creating an international presence and incorporating new technologies.  Also, as a result of the Clarient acquisition, we have expanded our sales team and now offer our services in geographic areas where we did not previously have sales representation.  We believe our highly trained sales team has been successful in competing against other laboratories because of our exceptional service levels, and because we have one of the broadest and most comprehensive test menus in our industry. Our broad menu of molecular and immunohistochemistry testing has helped make us a “one stop shop” for many clients who like the fact that all of their testing can be sent to one laboratory.

We currently perform comprehensive analyses for hematopoietic cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma (blood and lymphoid tumors) as well as solid tumors such as breast, lung, colon, and bladder cancers.  Our sales team is experienced with the scientific complexity and medical necessity of our testing services, and understands the needs of our client pathologists and oncologists.drive profitable growth. We will continue to pursue market share gains by providing high complexity, cancer-related laboratory testing services to hospitals, community-based pathology practices, academic centers, clinicians, and clinicians throughoutpharmaceutical companies.

Our laboratory teams will focus on service by improving the United States.  

Our growth has also been aided by strongcustomer experience. We intend to accomplish this through the development and launch of innovative assays, informatics products and companion diagnostics as well as enhancements to our educational programs. We expect this to result in increased product and process understanding, increased ability to gain market share as well as enabling us to maintain our high levels of client retention.

We believewill work to maintain our client retention success is due to our strong service levels, our tech-only service offerings,broad and a culture of customer focus in which our engaged employees seek to deliver highest customer satisfaction possible.   Our strong service levels are reinforced by a disciplined management process with a system of detailed measures and metrics to ensure committed turnaround times and customer service.  Our broadinnovative test menu of molecular, immunohistochemistry, and immunohistochemistryother testing, which has helped make us a “one stop shop” for many clients who like the factvalue that all of their testing can be sent to one laboratory.

19


NEOGENOMICS, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

broaden its offering of innovative cancer diagnostic tests to hospitals and physicians across the country, and to accelerate its growth in the fast-growing worldwide market for pharmaceutical clinical trials and research.  Complementary product offerings and expanded geographical reach of the combined Company will provide customers with substantial benefits and create a significantly larger and more diversified provider of precision oncology diagnostics.  The Clarient transaction is a good example of the type of acquisition opportunity we will consider in the future.

Advance Our Strategy

We are committed to being an innovative leader and believe this has been and will be a key factor in our growth.  We plan to accomplish this goal through strategic actions designed to: 1) advance the technology we use in our laboratories, 2) evaluate, develop and deploy new products and services, and 3) evaluate and experiment with value-based payment models in collaboration with oncology groups and other health care providers.

Our broad and innovative testing menu allows us to serve community-based pathologists and clinicians as well as pharmaceutical customers and nationally recognized academic centers.  Over the past year, we have developed approximately 50 new molecular oncology tests and disease-specific panels, and we believe we have one of the most comprehensive oncology test menus of any laboratory in the world.  By launching new medically significant and necessary tests at a steady rate, we are able to provide cutting-edge developments in molecular genetics with clients and their patients and are developing our reputation as a leader in the field of molecular oncology.  In many cases, customers who begin using us because of our new innovative test offerings also begin to refer portions of their other testing.  

Our comprehensive test offering allows us to be a one-stop shop for all of the oncology testing needs of our clients.  Pharmaceutical firms are also attracted to our laboratory based on extensive test menu, and based on our knowledgeable research and development team as well as our ability to offer tests at the forefront of medical developments. 

We continue to pursue opportunities to offer “liquid biopsy” testing, particularly for hematological diseases.  We have launched twelve NEOLABTM liquid biopsy tests for hematological disease using next generation sequencing and other advanced molecular technologies.  Liquid Biopsy testing uses cell-free circulating DNA and RNA found in blood plasma to identify molecular abnormalities in the bone marrow without the need for a bone marrow biopsy. The technology is based on the concept that hematologic cells release their DNA, RNA, and protein into circulation as the cells are immersed in blood.  The cell-free circulating DNA, RNA and protein are referred to as exosomes, microvesicles, apoptotic bodies or simply DNA- or RNA-protein complexes.  Our new tests use proprietary methods to extract these circulating nucleic acids and analyze them using next generation sequencing and advanced methods in order to evaluate molecular abnormalities present in hematological cancers.  

We also continue to develop new testing approaches by combining the capabilities of a variety of testing technologies.   Our NeoTYPETM multimodality testing is somewhat unique in the industry and combines immunohistochemistry testing, molecular testing, and FISH testing into disease-specific panels that are very effective and efficient for improving patient care.  We introduced a number of NeoTYPETM molecular panels that combine multiple molecular tests into multi-gene panels targeting specific types of cancer to help pathologists and oncologists determine cancer subtypes on difficult cases.  Managed care payers have expressed interest in the more targeted panels as a more cost effective alternative to ordering large whole genome panels that include genes that have never been tied to a particular type of cancer.

Our NeoLAB (Liquid Biopsy) Prostate cancer test which is performed on blood plasma and urine rather than on prostate tissue biopsies is currently available as a Laboratory Developed Test and we have received clinical orders for it.  There are two goals for this test: 1) to diagnose the presence of cancer in patients and 2) to distinguish high-grade from low-grade cancer in patients with prostate cancer.  We are working to gain reimbursement for this test which we believe could significantly increase the acceptance and the number of test orders we receive for this important test.

Our medical team is a key differentiator as we have a depth of medical expertise that many other laboratories cannot offer to service a wider range of specialties.  

Extensive Tech-OnlyPharmaceutical companies.

Innovative Service Offerings

We believe we currently have the most extensive menu of tech-only FISH services in the country as well as extensive and advanced tech-only flow cytometry and IHC testing services. These types of testing services allow the professional interpretation component of a test to be performed and billed separately by our physician clients. Our FISH, flow cytometry and other tech-only service offerings allow properly trained and credentialed community-based pathologists to extend their own practices by performing professional interpretations services, which allows them to better service the needs of their local clientele without the need to invest in the lab equipment and personnel required to perform the technical component of genetic and molecular testing.

Our tech-only services are designed to give pathologists the option to choose, on a case by case basis, whether they want to order just the technical information and images relating to a specific test so they can perform the professional interpretation, or order “global” services and receive a comprehensive test report which includes a NeoGenomics Pathologist’spathologist’s interpretation of the test results. Our clients appreciate the flexibility to access NeoGenomics’ medical staff for difficult or complex cases or when they are otherwise unavailable to perform professional interpretations.

We believe this innovative approachoffer a comprehensive suite of technical and interpretation services, to servingmeet the needs of those clients who are not credentialed and trained in interpreting genetic tests and who require pathology clients’specialists to interpret the testing results in longer term, more committed client relationships that are, in effect, strategic partnerships.

Superior Testing Technologies and Instrumentation

We use some of the most advanced testing technologies and instrumentation in the laboratory industry. The use of next generation sequencing in our molecular testing allows us to detect multiple mutations and our proprietary techniques allow us to achieve high sensitivity in our next generation sequencing testing.  In addition, we use high sensitivity Sanger sequencing, RNA and DNA quantification, SNP/Cytogenetic arrays, Fragment Length analysis, and other molecular testing technologies.  Our automated FISH and Cytogenetics tools allow us to deliver the highest quality testing to our clients and our flow cytometry laboratory uses 10-color flow cytometry analysis technology on a technical-only basis.  NeoGenomics is continually testing new laboratory equipment in order to remain at the forefront of new developments in the testing field.

Laboratory Information System

We believe we have a state-of-the-art LIS that interconnects our locations and provides flexible reporting solutions to clients.  This system allows us to standardize testing and deliver uniform test results and images throughout our network, regardless of the location that any specific portion of a test is performed within our network.  This allows us to move specimens and image analysis work between locations to better balance our workload.  Our LIS also allows us to offer highly specialized and customizable reporting solutions to our tech-only clients.  For instance, our tech-only FISH and flow cytometry applications allow our community-based pathologist clients to tailor individual reports to their specifications and incorporate only the images they select and then issue and sign-out such reports using our system.  Our customized reporting solution also allows our clients to incorporate test results performed on ancillary tests not performed at NeoGenomics into summary report templates.  This FlexREPORT feature has been well-received by clients.

National Direct Sales Force

Our direct sales force has been trained extensively in cancer genetic testing and consultative selling skills to service the needs of clients. Our sales team for the clinical cancer testing services is organized into five regions (Northeast, Southeast, North Central, South Central and West), and we have a separate sales team for ourten regions. Our Pharma Services division.segment has a dedicated team of business development specialists who are experienced in working with pharma sponsors and helping them with the testing needs of their research and development projects as well as Phase 1-3 studies. These sales representatives utilize our custom Customer Relationship Management System (“CRM”) to manage their territories, and we have integrated all of the important customer care functionality within our LIS into the CRM so that our sales representatives can stay informed of emerging issues and opportunities within their regions. Our in-house customer care team is aligned with our field sales team to serve the needs of our clients by utilizing the same LIS and CRM. Our field teams can see in real-time when a client calls the laboratory, the reason for the call, the resolution, and if face-to-face interaction is needed for follow-up.

Geographic Locations

Many high complexity laboratories within the cancer testing niche have frequently operated a core facility on either the West Coast or the East Coast of the United States to service the needs of their customers around the country. We believe our clients and prospects desire to do business with a laboratory with national breadth and a local presence. We have six facilities including three large laboratory locations in Fort Myers, Florida, Aliso Viejo, California and Houston Texas.  We also have three smaller laboratory locations in Fresno, California, Nashville, Tennessee and Tampa, Florida. Our objective is to “operate one lab with multiple locations” in order to deliver standardized, high quality, test results. We have completed renovations in our Aliso Viejo facility and have successfully transitioned all Irvine employees and tests into the much larger Aliso Viejo laboratory during late March 2017.  We are also working to expand our Houston, Texas facility in order to increase capacity and plan to complete this expansion by the end of the first quarter of 2018.  In addition, our new lab in Geneva, Switzerland is fully operational with a grand opening planned for early November of 2017.  We intend to continue to develop and open new laboratories and/or expand our current facilities as market situations dictate and business opportunities arise.

Scientific Pipeline

In the past few years our field has experienced a rapid increase in tests that are tied to specific genomic pathways. These predictive tests are typically individualized for a small sub-set of patients with a specific subtype of cancer. The therapeutic target in the genomic pathway is typically a small molecule found at the level of the cell surface, within the cytoplasm and/or within the nucleus. These genomic pathways, known as the “Hallmarks of Cancer”, contain a target-rich environment for small-molecule anti-therapies. These anti-therapies target specific mutations in the major cancer pathways such as the Proliferation Pathway, the Apoptotic Pathway, the Angiogenic Pathway, the Metastasis Pathway, and the Signaling Pathways and Anti-Signaling Pathways.

Seasonality

The majority of our clinical testing volume is dependent on patients being treated by hematology/oncology professionals and other healthcare providers. The volume of our testing services generally declines modestly during the summer vacation season, year-end holiday periods and other major holidays, particularly when those holidays fall during the middle of the week. In addition, the volume of our testing tends to decline due to extreme adverse weather conditions, such as excessively hot or cold

During the third quarter of 2017, Hurricane Harvey forced the closure of our Houston laboratory for three days and Hurricane Irma forced the closure of our Fort Myers facility for five days.  Therefore, comparison of the results of successive periods may not accurately reflect trends for future periods.

Please see the section captioned Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016; 2018, as filed with the SEC on March 14, 2017 February26, 2019 and as amended and filed with the SEC on May 8, 2019, for a detailed description of our business.

Clinical testingServices revenue increased for both the three and nine month periodsperiod ending September 30, 2017 asMarch 31, 2019 increased $29.2 million, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2018.  Testing volumes also increased in our clinical genetic testing business by approximately 16.6% and 16.0% 31.1%for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively.period ending March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The increases in revenue and volume were due to strongprimarily reflect the acquisition of Genoptix, organic volume growth, in molecular and histology testing as well as growth in immuno-histochemistry tests duethe benefit of reimbursement initiatives. We continue to demand fornegotiate managed care and group purchasing contracts to increase our in-network coverage, which should improve reimbursement rates and facilitate the PD-L1 test as a resultaddition of the FDA approving Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in October 2016 as first-line treatment for PD-L1 positive non-small cell lung cancer.  We have also seen accelerating growth in flow cytometry and FISH.  While revenues and volumes increased quarter over quarter and year over year, we believe the impact of hurricanes Harvey and Irma depressed our revenues by approximately $1.0 million and volumes by approximately 1.5% during the third quarter of 2017.  Our sales team has largely finished integration related

Pharma Services revenue increased approximately 37% and 7% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 asperiod ended March 31, 2019 increased $2.9 million, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2018.  In addition, our backlog of signed contracts has continued to grow from $46.5$98.9 million as of December 31, 2018 to $100.8 million as of June 30, 2017March 31, 2019. The expansion of our Pharma facility in Houston, Texas, provides additional capacity to $58.0 million as of September 30, 2017.manage this backlog. We expect this backlog to result in higher revenues in future quarters.

We also expect to seeachieve accelerating revenue growth in our Pharma Services divisionsegment due to our international presence. In addition to our laboratory in Rolle, Switzerland, we announced a global strategic partnership with Pharmaceutical Product Development, LLC (“PPD”) in 2018, and continued our international expansion into Geneva, Switzerland.  This facility will be operationalincluding the opening of a laboratory in the fourth quarter of 2017 and already has a backlog of approximately $1.5 million.  

Revenue was also impacted due to an error that we identified during an internal analysis in the third quarter of 2017.  The error impacted revenue reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  Specifically, we determined that certain unbillable tests were inadvertently included in the revenue accrual recorded for these periods.  The Company assessed the extent of this error and it was corrected in the third quarter of 2017, resulting in an understatement of revenue of $2.4 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  See Item 4. Controls and Procedures for additional details regarding this error.

We continue to realize growth in our clinical testing revenue, which we believe is the direct result of our efforts to innovate by developing and maintaining one of the most comprehensive cancer testing menus in the industry.  Our broad test menu enables our sales teams to identify opportunities for increasing revenues from existing clients and allows us to gain market share from competitors. New immuno-histochemistry tests suchcompetitors as Micro Satellite Instability, DNA Mismatch Repair, PD1 and PD-L1 have continued to show solid growth and have increased our volume and revenue growth in the third quarter.  We believe the field of immuno-therapy will continue to show substantial growth in coming years and our ability to offer multi-modality testing in one lab will allow us to capitalize on this increased demand.  

well as attract new clients looking for a one-stop shop.

Average revenue per test decreasedincreased 15.5% for both the three and nine month periods periodended September 30, 2017 asMarch 31, 2019, compared to the corresponding periodsperiod in 2018. These changes reflect the previous year.  These decreases are primarily due toacquisition of Genoptix as well as the change in test mix, specifically the increase in PD-L1 testing which has a lower average unit price (“AUP”) thanpositive impact of our overall Company AUP.  The 19% Medicare cut in Flow Cytometryinternal reimbursement as a result of the 2017 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule also contributed to the lower revenue per test.

These decreases to our average revenue per test wereinitiatives, partially offset by our higher volumeschanges in Medicare reimbursement and reductions in cost per test.  The cost per test reductions were partially a result of the change in test mix, specifically the higher mix of lower cost histology tests.  In addition, we continue to have success in reducing costs in the laboratory as synergies are being realized from the consolidation of our Irvine and Aliso Viejo, California laboratories.  We have also seen a reduction in send-out costs, as our extensive menu makes it rare for us to need to send a test to another laboratory.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Average cost per test increased 4.8% for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, compared to the corresponding period in 2018, primarily reflecting the acquisition of Genoptix. This increase was partially offset by increased automation in our laboratories as well as the benefit of increased economies of scale.  In addition, our laboratory teams have been extremely focused on reducing their cost per test across all departments. 
Cost of revenue includes payroll and payroll related costs for performing tests, maintenance and depreciation of laboratory equipment, rent for laboratory facilities, laboratory reagents, probes and supplies, and delivery and courier costs relating to the transportation of specimens to be tested.

Genoptix.

Gross profit margin increased slightly for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, asMarch 31, 2019, compared to the same period last year.  These increases were achieved despitein 2018. Gross margin improvement reflects the reduction in ourimpact of volume growth, higher revenue per test, over these time periods.  We were able to increase gross profit margin due to our laboratories processing the increased test volumes more efficiently.  We had only limited staffing increases in the laboratory to handle the increased volumes,productivity gains, and our laboratory teams have been extremely focused on reducing their cost per test across all departments. As a result of the correction of the aforementioned error in the third quarter of 2017, gross profit was understated by $2.4 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

The increase in our general

General and administrative expenses increased $15.1 million for the three and nine monthsmonth period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 was largely due to increased expenses in the following areas:  bad debt, professional fees and personnel fees (including stock based compensation).    

Bad debt expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by approximately $2.3 million whenMarch 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2016.  Bad debt2018. The increase reflects the acquisition of Genoptix as a percentage of revenue was 7.9%, which waswell as higher than last year’s rate of 4.5%.  Bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by approximately $4.8 million when comparedpayroll and payroll related expenses due to the same period in 2016.  Bad debt as a percentage of revenue was 6.8%, which was higher than last year’s rate of 4.5%.  The increases in bad debt for both periods are primarilyheadcount. Additionally, these expenses include approximately $1.3 million in acquisition and integration related to changes in payer dynamics including pre authorization denials as well as increased denials for next generation sequencing tests and disease specific multi-gene panels.  In addition, there was an impact from the integration of Clarient into our billing system, which began in July of 2016. Clarient had higher bad debt rates than did NeoGenomics’ legacy business.   Billings of the legacy Clarient billing system have now been either fully collected or written off.  The performance of our billing team was also impacted by the integration which ultimately contributed to certain receivables not being collected and increased bad debt expense.

Professional fees increased by approximately $616,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to fees in 2017 related to the Pharma Services facility in Geneva, Switzerland opening in November of 2017 and an increase in legal reserves for the three months ended September 30, 2017 related to a lawsuit brought against Clarient.

Payroll expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to the same periods in 2016.  This increase is partially due to additional staff hired for certain functions such as billing, IT and accounts payable that were performed by outside vendors or by General Electric in early 2016 under the Clarient “Transition Services Agreement”.  We have also seen an increase in stock based compensation which has increased from $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  This increase is due to the increase in NeoGenomics stock price as well as increase in stock option grants and restricted stock awards.

costs.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase but remain stable as a percentage of revenue as we add personnelemployee and equity-related compensation expenses, increase our billing and collections activities; incur additional expenses associated with the expansion of our facilities and backup systems; incur additional bad debt expense as sales increase, and as we continue to expand our physical and technological infrastructure to support our anticipated growth.  A significant portion of our stock based compensation is for non-employee options which are subject to variable accounting, and our expenses will fluctuate based on the performance of our common stock.  A rise in the price of our stock will increase our stock compensation expense, and a decline in our stock price will reduce this expense.  However, we anticipate that general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenue will drop over the coming years as we continue to grow.  

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses relate to costs of developing new proprietary and non-proprietary genetic tests, including payroll and payroll related costs, maintenance and depreciation of laboratory equipment, laboratory supplies (reagents), and outside consultants and experts assisting our research and development team.

Research and development expense increasedexpenses increased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 asMarch 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2016.2018. This increase is attributable to non-employee stock options which are subject to variable accountingincrease reflects the acquisition of Genoptix as well as investments in personnel and the increase in our stock price during the third quarter of 2017.  Excluding stock based compensation expense of approximately $531,000 and $187,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, research and development expense was approximately $739,000 and $780,000.  This decrease is largely due to a decrease in amortization expense for the Health Discovery Corporation license agreements which were being amortized as intangible assets, but were fully impaired in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Research and development expense decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.  This decrease is partially attributable to the reduction in the balance of unvested options outstanding in 2017 as compared to 2016 in addition to the decrease in amortization expense for the Health Discovery Corporation license agreements.  Excluding stock based compensation expense of approximately $858,000 and $550,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, research and development expense was approximately $2.2 million and $3.2 million.  The increase in stock based compensation recorded in G&A expense is attributable to non-employee stock options which are subject to variable accounting and the increase in our stock price during the third quarter of 2017.

We expect our research and development expenses to fluctuate in future quarters because of increases or decreases in our stock price and the corresponding stock based compensation expense for non-employee stock options. Increases in our stock price result in additional expense and decreases in our stock price can result in recovery of previously recorded expense.  assay development.


We anticipate research and development expenditures will increase over timein future quarters as we continue to invest in innovation projects and bringing new tests to market.

Interest

Net interest expense net is comprised of interest incurred on our term debt, revolving credit facility and our capital leaseother financing obligations offset by the interest income we earn on cash deposits. InterestNet interest expense net decreased in bothfor the three and nine month periodsmonths ending September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 increased 22.9%, or $0.3 million, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016. The decreases2018.These increases reflect changes in interest expense, net of $70,000 forrates as well as the three month period and $336,000 for the nine month period reflect the significantly lower borrowing rate in the Loan Agreementadditional $30 million term loan entered into in Decemberthe second quarter of 2016.  Due to these lower interest rates, while total borrowings have been higher in 2017 compared to 2016,2018. We expect our interest expense has been lower.  In addition, we have entered into a swap agreement to hedge a significant portionfluctuate based on timing of the interestadvances and payments on our term loan, however part of that loan is not hedged and will continue to fluctuate as the LIBOR rates change.

Non-GAAP Measures


Use of non-GAAPNon-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s financial results are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)(“GAAP”) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Management believes that presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of
34

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


the Company’s operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods and between entities. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting purposes and to manage the Company’s business. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric for our business because it is used by our lenders in the calculation of our debt covenants.  Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to evaluate our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management.  The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.  There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not therefore present the full measure of the Company’s recorded costs against its net revenue.  In addition, the Company’s definition of the non-GAAP financial measures below may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Definitions of non-GAAPNon-GAAP measures

Non –

Non–GAAP EBITDA

We define “EBITDA” as net income from continuing operations before: (i) interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.

Non –

Non–GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

We define “Adjusted

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined by NeoGenomics as net income (loss) from continuing operations before: (i) interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and if applicable in a reporting period, (v) acquisition-related transaction expenses, (vi) non-cash impairments of intangible assets, (vii) debt financing costs, (viii) and other significant non-recurring or non-operating (income) or expenses.

Basis for Non-GAAP Adjustments

Our basis for excluding certain expenses from GAAP financial measures, are outlined below:

Interest expense – The capital structure of companies significantly affects the amount of interest expense incurred.  This expense can vary significantly between periods and between companies.  In order to compare performance between periods and companies that have different capital structures and thus different levels of interest obligations, NeoGenomics excludes this expense.

Income tax expense (benefit) The tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and the provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies.  In order to compare performance between companies, NeoGenomics excludes this expense (benefit).


Depreciation expense – Companies utilize assets with different useful lives and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating these assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. In order to compare performance between companies, NeoGenomics excludes this expense.

Amortization expense – The intangible assets that give rise to this amortization expense relate to acquisitions, and the amounts allocated to such intangible assets and the terms of amortization vary by acquisition and type of asset.  NeoGenomics excludes these items to provide a consistent basis for comparing operating results across reporting periods, pre and post-acquisition.  

Stock-based compensation expenses – Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation paid to NeoGenomics employees and consultants, the related expense is substantially driven by changes in the Company’s stock price in any given quarter, which can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and result in large positive or negative impacts to total operating expenses.  The variable accounting treatment causing expense to be driven by changes in quarterly stock price is required because many of the Company’s full-time physicians reside in California and are classified as consultants rather than employees due to state regulations.  GAAP provides that variable stock based compensation treatment be applied for consultants but not for employees. Without adjusting for these non-cash expenses, the Company believes it would be difficult to compare financial results from operations across reporting periods on a consistent basis.  

Loss on sale of business - The impact of disposals of assets or businesses have been excluded as these losses represent infrequent transactions that impact the comparability between operating periods. We believe the adjustment of these losses supplements the GAAP information by providing a measure that may be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.

Moving expenses – These expenses include costs associated with the move of our Irvine, California facility into our Aliso Viejo facility.  Irvine was the former NeoGenomics laboratory in Southern California and was eight miles from Clarient’s much larger facility in Aliso Viejo.  After investing in updating and redesigning the Aliso Viejo facility, we combined the

28


NEOGENOMICS, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

two facilities in March of 2017.  Equipment had to be moved and re-validated in the new location.  There was also significant overtime and investment of resources to coordinate the move project.  Our Irvine, California lease terminated on April 30, 2017 and we also incurred costs in cleaning out and restoring that facility to its original state.  We are adjusting for these costs in Adjusted EBITDA as the move was the direct result of the Clarient acquisition and will not be an annually recurring item.  Without adjusting for these expenses, the Company believes it would be difficult to compare financial results from operations across reporting periods on a consistent basis.  

We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide more consistent measures of operating performance between entities and across reporting periods by excluding cash and non-cash items of expense that can vary significantly between companies.In addition, adjusted EBITDA is a metric that is used by our lenders in the calculation of our debt covenants.  Adjusted EBITDA also assists investors in performing analysesanalysis that areis consistent with financial models developed by independent research analysts.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined by us) are not measurements under GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.  We believe there are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because they exclude a variety of charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not therefore present the full measure of NeoGenomics' recorded costs against its net revenue.  Accordingly, we encourage investors to consider both non-GAAP results together with GAAP results in analyzing our financial performance.

As discussed above and in Item 4, revenue recognized from the fourth quarter of 2016 through the second quarter of 2017 was impacted due to an error relating to revenue accrued for unbilled tests. We assessed the extent of this error and it was corrected in the third quarter of 2017, resulting in a reduction of revenue, and thus a corresponding reduction in Adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. See Item 4. Controls and Procedures for additional details regarding this error.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is estimated based on the aging of accounts receivable with each payer category and the historical data on bad debts in these aging categories.  In addition, the allowance is adjusted periodically for other relevant factors, including regularly assessing the state of our billing operations in order to identify issues which may impact the collectability of receivables or allowance estimates.  Revisions to the allowance are recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense within general and administrative expenses.  After appropriate collection efforts have been exhausted, specific receivables deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance in the period they are deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of receivables previously written-off are recorded as credits to the allowance.

The allowance for doubtful accounts as well as the allowance as a percentage of gross accounts receivable has decreased for the period ended September 30, 2017 as comparedamount expected to the period ended December 31, 2016.  In December of 2016, due to the Clarient acquisition and integrated related activities; NeoGenomics did not perform a year-end write off of uncollectible receivables as had been done in previous yearsbe collected, which resulted in a higher balance in accounts receivableconsiders implicit price concessions. Implicit price concessions represent differences between amounts billed and the allowance asestimated consideration the Company expects to receive based on negotiated discounts, historical collection experience and other anticipated adjustments, including anticipated payer denials.

Pharma Services
The Company negotiates billing schedules and payment terms on a contract-by-contract basis which often includes payments based on certain milestones being achieved. Receivables are generally reported over time based on the number of December 2016.  The decreases are also due to changes inunits completed, which aligns with the timingprogress of when items are written off and decisions to accelerate certain write-offs in 2017.  In 2017, our mix of client billed accounts receivable has increased substantially which tends to lower our allowance as a percentage of gross receivables since client billed accounts receivable have historically had a lower percentage of bad debt than commercial insurance.  

Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) has increased from 84 days at December 31, 2016 to 91 days as of September 30, 2017.  The increase in DSO was partially attributable to an increase in client billed accounts receivable during the third quarter of 2017.  Additionally Pharma Services DSO’s were 93 days on December 31, 2016 compared to 104 days on September 30, 2017.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash flows from operating activities was $12.3 million, a $9.4 million decrease compared to the same period in 2016.  The decrease was primarily due to an $11.5 million increase in our accounts receivable partially offset by increases in accrued expenses.  Our receivables have increased over this period due to growth as well as our higher DSO.  We have experienced reimbursement delays due to changes in payer dynamics for Medicare and insurance companies, specifically the increase in these payers requiring pre-authorization and the additional time it may take to get the required authorizations.  We have enhanced procedures in our labs to identify requisitions that require pre-authorizations and also educate our clients in order to secure pre-authorizations before the samples arrive in our lab.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash used in investing activities increased by approximately $4.8 million compared to the same period in 2016.  This increase was due to equipment purchases and building improvements, which were necessary to support our continued growth and efficiency.  Specifically, we have remodeled and upgraded our laboratory facilities in Aliso Viejo, California, expanded our Houston, Texas facility, invested in additional laboratory equipment to accommodate our growth and update existing equipment that was acquired with the purchase of Clarient.  Our Geneva laboratory was substantially finished at the end of the third quarter of 2017 and we have made significant investments in this laboratory facility.  We have also invested in a new trade show booth as well as upgrades to our IT security environment and our next generation Laboratory Information System (LIS).  

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash flows from financing activities decreased by approximately $8.5 million compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to a $10.0 million repayment on our 2016 revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2016.  The decrease also reflects $5.0 million in advances on our revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2017, partially offset by a $2.5 million repayment on our revolving credit facility during the third quarter of 2017. The 2016 revolving credit facility was originally used to finance the acquisition of Clarient.

Cash flows from financing activities also include cash received for the issuance of our common stock upon exercise of stock options as well as cash received to purchase shares of our common stock through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  These sources of cash were offset in 2017 as we made three quarterly repayments of $0.9 million each on our Term Loan as well as payments for various capital lease obligations in both 2016 and 2017.  We will continue to have quarterly term loan repayments of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 and throughout 2018.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash flows from operating activities were $6.1 million, a $8.2 million decreasecompared to the same period in 2018.  The decrease was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $8.1 million as well as an increase in inventory of $1.0 million, offset by a decrease in the change related to accounts payable and other accrued expenses of $2.3 million as compared to the prior year. Our receivables have increased over this period due to increases in revenue. Total accrued expenses reflects higher payroll and payroll-related expenses and increased accrued expenses associated with higher test volumes and strategic initiatives. The change in cash flows from operations is also due to our net loss for the period ending March 31, 2019 compared to our net income for the period ended March 31, 2018.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash used in investing activities was $3.2 million, a decrease of approximately $1.5 million compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to costs incurred for the construction of our laboratory in Houston, Texas in 2018.  
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash provided by financing activities was $0.5 million as compared to cash used in financing activities of $7.2 million in the same period in 2018. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 consisted primarily of net cash proceeds of $4.2 million from stock option exercises, offset by repayment of term loan and other finance obligations of $3.8 million.
Credit Facility

During December of 2016, we

We entered into a new senior secured credit facility inin December 2016, which was subsequently amended in June 2018 to include additional loan capacity. In order to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on this floating rate debt obligation, we also entered into an interest rate swap agreement.agreements.  For more information on thisthese hedging instrument,instruments, see Note EH to Consolidated Financial Statements herein.  The interest rate swap agreement effectively converts a portion of our floating rate debt to a fixed obligation, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense.  We believe this strategy will enhance our ability to manage cash flow within our Company.

Liquidity Outlook

We had approximately $12.2$13.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. In addition, we have a revolving credit facilityRevolving Facility which provides for up to $75 million in borrowing capacity of which $5 million is outstanding at September 30, 2017, basedMarch 31, 2019. Based on our level of adjustedAdjusted EBITDA and the balance drawn, approximately $9.3$70 million was available.was available at that same date. We believe that the cash on hand, available credit lines and positive cash flows generated from operations will provide adequate resources to meet our operating commitments and interest payments for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements.

Our Series A Preferred Stock has certain restrictions that will result in the Company having to dedicate fifty percent of the net proceeds from any future equity raise, to redeeming shares of the Series A Preferred Stock until such time as all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been redeemed. In addition, our Credit Agreement contains certain provisions beginning with the Annual Compliance Certificate for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (to be filed no later than March 31, 2018), that would require a portion of the excess cash flow (as defined) to be repaid to our lenders.  The debt repayment would be required five business days after the filing of our Annual Compliance Certificate.

Capital Expenditures

We currently forecast capital expenditures in order to execute on our business plan and keep up with the growth in our testing volumes, althoughmaintain growth; however, the actual amount and timing of such capital expenditures will ultimately be determined by the volume of our business. We currently anticipate that our capital expenditures for the year endedending December 31, 20172019 will be in the range of $16.0$16 million to $18.5$20 million. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we purchased approximately $10.2$5.2 million of capital equipment, software and leasehold improvements and an additional $3.2of which $2.0 million was acquired through capital lease obligations. We have in the past funded and plan to continue funding these capital expenditures with capital lease financing arrangements, cash, and through bank loan facilities, if necessary.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions and select accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

While many operational aspects of

There have been no significant changes to our business are subject to complex federal, state and local regulations, the accounting for our business is generally straightforward with net revenues primarily recognized upon completion of the testing process. Our revenues are primarily comprised of laboratory tests, and approximately one-half of total operating costs and expenses consist of employee compensation and benefits. Due to the nature of our business, several of ourcritical accounting policies involve significant estimates and judgments. These accounting policies have been describedfrom those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and other relevant market rate or price changes. We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in the LIBOR interest rate and foreign currency exchange rates.  We regularly evaluate our exposure to such changes and may elect to minimize this risk through the use of interest rate swap agreements.  For further details regarding our significant accounting policies relating to derivative instruments and hedging activities, see Note B to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.  We do not have any material foreign operations or foreign sales and thus have limited exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As required by SEC Rule 15d-15, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.Based on thisthat evaluation, weour principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as a result of a control deficiency that has been identified as a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.  This material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and our remediation activities are described below.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During an internal analysis conducted in the third quarter of 2017, we identified an error in the revenue reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  Specifically, we determined that certain unbillable tests were inadvertently included in the revenue accrual recorded for the periods beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016 through the second quarter of 2017.  These unbillable tests were worked through our laboratory, however we were unable to produce a final result on the sample.  The tests were reported back to the ordering physician as Quantity Not Sufficient (“QNS”) or Test Not Performed (“TNP”).  Although we incur costs attempting to test these QNS and TNP samples, and often attempt to get a result more than once, we cannot bill payors for any tests in which a full result is not reported.  As a result of the inclusion of these unbillable tests in the monthly revenue accrual, revenue was overstated.  This error was corrected in the third quarter of 2017.

We have a policy of writing off any unbilled tests greater than six months old and many of these tests were written off via this process.  We assessed the extent of the error on each reported period.  As a result of the error, the net impact to revenue reported in the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 has been determined to be immaterial.  The net impact of the error in the first quarter of 2017, resulted in an overstatement of revenue by approximately $1.7 million.  The net impact of the error in the second quarter of 2017, resulted in an overstatement of revenue by approximately $0.2 million.  As a result of the cumulative misstatement through the second quarter of 2017, we recorded a correcting entry in the amount of $1.3 million at the end of the third quarter of 2017. This correction, in addition to approximately $1.1 million in revenues that were reversed earlier in the quarter through the automatic six month write off process, resulted in a reduction of revenueperiod covered by $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2017.  

The management review control that should have detected this error was determined to be ineffective.  Management has concluded that this deficiency constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Nonetheless, we have concluded that this material weakness does not require a restatement or change in our consolidated financial statements for any prior annual or interim period. We have taken certain remediation steps to address the material weakness referenced above, and to improve our internal control over financial reporting as described below.

We have filled the open position of Vice President and Principal Accounting Officer and we are providing additional resources to our finance team by actively recruiting for a Corporate Controller.

We have reviewed, identified and corrected errors in the recognition of revenue

We have established steps in our monthly closing process to improve our internal control over financial reporting. These steps include:

a.

monthly review of revenue reports by the Director of Billing to ensure that all unbilled tests outstanding for 60 days or greater are appropriate for accrual and will ultimately be billed out

b.

monthly review of revenue reports by the Assistant Controller to ensure that revenue is not being accrued for tests that based on laboratory results are determined to be unbillable

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

However, as noted above, we will be implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to address the material weakness described above.
