(1) This adjustment compensates for the effects of the if-converted impact of convertible notes in adjusted net income. Since an entity using the if-converted method assumes that a convertible debt instrument was converted into common shares at the beginning of the reporting period, the numerator is adjusted to reverse any recognized interest expense (including any amortization of discounts).

Note A –1. Nature of the Business, and Basis of Presentation

and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of the Business
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.

Basis of Presentation
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.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information
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 with the SEC on March 14, 2017.  

2019.

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

Principles of Consolidation
The Company reports its activities in 2 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 whichand represents 100% of the Company’s consolidated assets, net revenues and net income (loss)for each period presented. For further financial information about these segments see Note 15. Segment Information, in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company determines whether investments in affiliates are a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) at the start of each new venture and when a reconsideration event has occurred. A reporting entity must consolidate a VIE if that reporting entity has a variable interest (or combination of variable interests) and is determined to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company accounts for its equity investments that are under 20% of the total equity outstanding and for which the Company does not have significant influence by applying the cost method. Investments that are under 20% of the total equity outstanding and for which the entity does have significant influence are accounted for using the equity method unless a scope exception is applicable. Investments in which the Company holds a non-controlling interest and are between 20-50% equity are accounted for using the equity method. For any equity investments in which the Company holds over 50% of the outstanding stock, or for investments in which the Company controls the investee, the Company consolidates those entities into their consolidated financial statements.
Marketable Securities
The Company classifies all securities as available-for-sale, including those with maturity dates beyond 12 months, and therefore these securities are classified within current assets on the consolidated balance sheets as they are available to support current operational liquidity needs
Marketable securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized holding gains and losses, net of income taxes, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. We evaluate our marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. Unrealized losses are charged against net earnings when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. We review several factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary, such as the length and extent of the fair value decline, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and whether we have the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell before the securities' anticipated recovery. Regardless of our intent to sell a security, we perform additional analysis on all securities with unrealized losses to evaluate losses associated with the
12

NEOGENOMICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
creditworthiness of the security. Credit losses are identified where we do not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of a security.
For the purposes of computing realized and unrealized gains and losses, cost and fair value are determined on a specific identification basis.
Income Taxes
We compute income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. During the quarter the Company performed an analysis of its historical research and development expenses and determined that federal and state research and development tax credits for the tax years 2016 – 2019 are available. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $1.9 million as a tax benefit in the reporting period for the expected realizable amount of such credits.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and the disease has since spread across the world, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The outbreak of the pandemic is materially adversely affecting the Company’s employees, patients, communities and business operations, as well as the United States (“U.S.”) economy and financial markets. The full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows are likely to continue to be materially adversely affected, particularly if the pandemic persists for a significant amount of time.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
The Federal government passed legislation and the President of the United States signed into law on March 27, 2020, known as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). On April 10, 2020, the U.S Department of Health & Human Services (“HHS”) announced that Medicare-enrolled providers would receive a portion of a direct deposit disbursement totaling $50 billion. The $50 billion is part of a $100 billion Public Health and Emergency Fund created by the CARES Act. Payments made under the CARES Act are intended to reimburse healthcare providers for health care related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19 and are not required to be repaid provided that recipients attest to and comply with certain terms and conditions, including limitations on balance billing for COVID-19 patients. In the absence of specific guidance to account for government grants under GAAP, the Company accounts for such grants in accordance with international accounting standards for government grants. Such amounts are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will (1) comply with the conditions associated with the grant and (2) receive the grant.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $7.9 million in grant income related to the CARES Act. This amount was recorded during the second quarter of 2020. NaN such amounts were recorded in the third quarter of 2020. CARES Act grant income is classified in “Other (income) expense, net”, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was 0 grant income recognized for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019.
The CARES Act also permits the deferral of payment of the employer portion of social security taxes between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount due on December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due on December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2020, the accrued deferred social security taxes related to the CARES Act were $2.9 million. This amount was recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were 0 such amounts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019.
Additionally, the CARES Act included an Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”) provision designed to encourage employers to keep employees on their payroll. The ERTC is a refundable tax credit against certain payroll taxes paid by employers for eligible wages paid between March 13, 2020 and December 31, 2020 that meet the requirements of the ERTC provision. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $1.1 million under the ERTC. This amount was recorded during the third quarter of 2020.

Note 2. Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which 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 accordingly as other assets, current and non-current on the balance sheet and expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The Company adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2020 and the impact was not material to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Under the new guidance, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. However, public companies are required to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and related changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2020 and the impact was not material to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The new guidance requires that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown in the statement of cash flows include cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. ASU 2016-08 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods, using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. As a result, restricted cash of approximately $32 million as of September 30, 2020 is included in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending balances in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Please refer to Note 4. Leases, for additional information regarding the use of restricted cash. There were no restricted cash balances in any reportable period prior to January 2020.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“Topic 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as modified by subsequently issued ASUs 2018-19 (issued November 2018), 2019-04 (issued April 2019), 2019-05 (issued May 2019), 2019-11 (issued November 2019), 2020-02 (issued February 2020) and 2020-03 (issued March 2020). Topic 326 modifies the measurement and recognition of credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard was effective January 1, 2020 and requires the use of forward-looking expected credit loss models based on historical experience, current economic 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. It 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 required a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company adopted and applied the standard as of January 1, 2020. Based on management’s analysis, Topic 326 is applicable to the Company’s trade receivables as well as contract assets recognized within the Pharma Services segment. An assessment was performed on historical trends, current economic conditions, supportable forecasts, and customer and credit risks. The adoption of Topic 326 did not result in a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. These changes will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that was bifurcated according to previously existing rules. In addition, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt this pronouncement and the impact that this new guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides for temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on certain contract modifications and hedging relationships to ease the burdens related to the expected market

transition from the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other reference rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy has been established based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including its marketable securities and certain cash equivalents. The Company considers all securities available-for-sale, including those with maturity dates beyond 12 months, and therefore these securities are classified within current assets on the consolidated balance sheets as they are available to support current operational liquidity needs. The money market accounts are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The marketable securities are generally valued based on other observable inputs for those securities (including market corroborated pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves) based on information provided by independent third-party pricing entities, except for U.S. Treasury securities which are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.
The following table sets forth the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair values of the Company's marketable securities accounted for as available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2020. There were 0 such amounts as of December 31, 2019.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and other current assets and liabilities, including our prior revolving credit facility are considered reasonable estimates of their respective fair values at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to their short-term nature.
We also measure certain non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily intangible assets, goodwill, and long-lived assets in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment. We estimate the fair value of these assets using primarily unobservable inputs and, as such, these are considered Level 3 fair value measurements.

Note 4. Leases
The Company leases corporate offices and laboratory space throughout the world, all of which are classified as operating leases expiring at various dates and generally have concludedterms ranging from 1 to 15 years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Some of the Company’s real estate lease agreements include options to either renew or early terminate the lease. Leases with renewal options allow the Company to extend the lease term typically between 1 and 5 years. When it is reasonably certain that the error identified was not materialCompany will exercise an option to any prior annualrenew or interim periods.  Weterminate a lease, these options are considered in determining the classification and measurement of the lease.
Lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term and assessed as of the commencement date. Incentives received from landlords, such as reimbursements for tenant improvements and rent abatement periods, effectively reduce the total lease payments owed for leases.
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 of this error and it was correctedthat such payments are either fixed amounts or variable amounts based on a rate or index (fixed in substance) as stipulated in the third quarterlease contract. Any actual costs in excess of 2017, resultingsuch amounts are expensed as incurred as variable lease cost.
The Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate by lease term in order to calculate the present value of its future lease payments. The discount rate represents a reductionrisk-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 the lease term. The discount rate is determined using the incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement and based on the lease term.
Operating Leases
Operating lease costs include an immaterial amount of variable lease cost, and are recorded in cost of revenue and thusgeneral and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the leased asset. Aside from variable lease costs, operating lease costs represent fixed lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As of September 30, 2020, the maturities of our operating lease liabilities and a reconciliation to the present value of lease liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

Lease contracts that have been executed but have not yet commenced are excluded from the tables above. As of September 30, 2020 the Company has entered into $34.6 million of contractually binding minimum lease payments for leases executed but not yet commenced. This amount primarily relates to the lease of the laboratory and headquarters facility in Fort Myers, Florida that is expected to commence in 2021. In addition to the minimum lease payments, the Company will pay approximately $25 million relating to the construction of the underlying assets and approximately $17 million in leasehold improvements. These amounts were placed into separate construction disbursement escrow accounts and are classified as “Restricted cash, non-current”, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Disbursements to the landlord will take place from time to time to pay for the costs of the landlord’s work. These disbursements will be classified as a prepaid lease asset or leasehold improvements, as appropriate, until the lease commences. Upon lease commencement, the prepaid lease asset will be included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and the leasehold improvements will be placed in service. Construction of the infrastructure of this facility commenced in the first quarter of 2020. The Company is not expected to control the underlying assets during the construction period and therefore is not considered the owner of the underlying assets for accounting purposes.
Note 5. Revenue Recognition and Contractual Adjustments
The Company has 2 operating segments for which it recognizes revenue; Clinical Services and Pharma Services. The Clinical Services segment provides various clinical testing services to community-based pathology practices, oncology practices, hospital pathology labs, reference labs, and academic centers with reimbursement from various payers including client direct billing, commercial insurance, Medicare and other government payers, and patients. The Pharma Services segment supports pharmaceutical firms in their drug development programs by providing testing services and data analytics 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 client direct billing, commercial insurance, Medicare and other government payers, and patients. 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 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 sole deliverable is a final report that is sent to sponsors at the completion of contracted activities. For these contracts, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the final 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 as previously disclosed. The Company negotiates billing schedules and payment terms on a contract-by-contract basis. While the contract terms generally provide for payments based on a unit-of-service arrangement, the billing schedules, payment terms and related 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 deferred as contract liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The associated revenue is recognized and the contract liability is reduced as the contracted services are subsequently performed. Contract assets are established for revenue that has been recognized but not yet billed. These contract assets are reduced once

the customer is invoiced and a corresponding reductionreceivable 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 current assets. 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.

The following table summarizes the values of contract assets, capitalized commissions and contract liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Pharma contract assets increased $0.7 million, or 56%, from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020. Pharma contract liabilities increased $1.6 million, or 57%, during the same period, while there was a slight increase in accounts receivablecapitalized commissions. Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 related to Pharma contract liability balances outstanding at the beginning of $2.4the period was $0.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Amortization of capitalized commissions for both three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company considered various factors for both its Clinical Services and Pharma Services segments in determining appropriate levels of homogeneous data for its disaggregation of revenue, including 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. 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.

On January 10, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired the Oncology Division assets of Human Longevity, Inc. (“HLI - Oncology”) for a purchase price of $37 million in cash. Acquisition and integration costs related to HLI - Oncology were approximately $0.4 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. See Item 4.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations.  This standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides 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 guidancewhole genome sequencing capabilities to the Company's current Pharma Services offerings. Revenue related to HLI - Oncology is reported in the Pharma Services segment. The acquisition included assets, primarily consisting of lab equipment, inventory, maintenance agreements for acquired equipment, backlog contracts with HLI - Oncology's customers, as well as HLI - Oncology’s molecular workforce that is experienced with Next-Generation Sequencing.

The above purchase price and purchase price allocation are preliminary and subject to future revision as the 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 adjustmentliabilities assumed are dependent upon the finalization of the related valuations. The fair values assigned to retained earnings of $6.6 millionassets acquired and liabilities assumed for HLI - Oncology are based upon management's best estimates and assumptions 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 adopt the requirement to present cash flows related to 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 issued 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 update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-12 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  This standard provides guidance related to the scope of stock option modification accounting, to reduce diversity in practice and reduce cost and complexity regarding existing guidance. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017 the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other:  Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.  This standard eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This update is effective for annualdate, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021.  Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.  

In August 2016, the FASB issued “ASU” 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.  This standard clarifies how specific cash receipts and cash payments 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 lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a

lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those periods.  The adoption of this ASU will result in an increase on the balance sheet for lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.  The Company is currently evaluating the quantitative impact that adopting ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. This standard update calls for a number of revisions in the revenue recognition rules. 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 our Pharma Services revenue, specifically the timing 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 surrounding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  The Company continues to assess the full impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

1.25% Convertible Senior Notes
On December 22, 2016,May 4, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the sale of $201.3 million of Convertible Senior Notes with a stated interest rate of 1.25% and a maturity date of May 1, 2025 (the “Convertible Notes”), unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The Convertible Notes were issued at a discounted price of 97% of their principal amount. The total net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and exercise of the Over-allotment Option was approximately $194.4 million, which includes approximately $6.9 million of discounts, commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company. On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”), with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), governing the Convertible Notes.
Prior to February 1, 2025, noteholders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option, only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the 5 business day period after any 5 consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after February 1, 2025 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, noteholders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 27.5198 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amounts of Convertible Note, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $36.34 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date as described in the Indenture, the Company will pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances. The value of the Convertible Notes, if-converted, exceeds it's principal amount by $3.1 million based on a closing stock price of $36.89 on September 30, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 the Company included 5,538,360 shares in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the if-converted impact of

the Convertible Notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company is in a net loss position, therefore, the shares that would be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes are excluded from the net loss per share calculation as it would have an antidilutive effect. For further details on the impact of the Convertible Notes on net (loss) income per share please refer to Note 12. Net Income (Loss) Per Share.
The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to May 6, 2023. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after May 6, 2023 if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of notice by the Company of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes.
If an event involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Convertible Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable. If any other default event occurs and is continuing, then noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Convertible Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change” as defined in the Indenture, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The Convertible Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and will be equal in right of payment with its existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to its existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Convertible Notes and effectively junior to its existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The Convertible Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of its subsidiaries.
The interest expense recognized on the Convertible Notes includes $0.6 million, $1.8 million and $25,600 for the contractual coupon interest, the accretion of the debt discount and the amortization of the debt issuance costs, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the interest expense recognized on the Convertible Notes for the contractual coupon interest, the accretion of the debt discount and the amortization of the debt issuance costs includes $1.0 million, $2.7 million and $44,700, respectively. The effective interest rate on the Convertible Notes is 5.5%, which includes the interest on the Convertible Notes and amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs. Interest on the Convertible Notes began accruing upon issuance and is payable semi-annually.
The Convertible Notes are accounted for as separate liability and equity components. The allocation was performed in a manner that reflected the Company’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate for similar debt. The equity component of the Convertible Notes was recognized as a debt discount and represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the fair value of the liability of the Convertible Notes on the date of issuance. At the Closing Date, the equity component representing the conversion option was determined to be $21.6 million, net of tax, and was initially recorded by deducting the carrying value of the liability component from the initial proceeds from the Convertible Notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 the Company adjusted the equity component representing the conversion option. At September 30, 2020 the equity component of the conversion option was $23.1 million, net of tax. The excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes over the carrying amount of the liability component represents a debt discount that is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes under the effective interest rate method. The equity component is not re-measured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Cash Flow Hedges

As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements. In DecemberJune of 2016,2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce ourthe Companys exposure to interest rate fluctuations on ourthe Companys variable rate debt obligations. This derivative financial instrument iswas accounted for at fair value as a cash flow hedge whichto effectively modifies ourmodify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of ourits prior floating rate debt to a fixed rate obligation, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense.

We account for derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, see Note B-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our accounting policy related to derivative instruments and hedging activities.  

Under thisthe swap agreement, we receivethe Company received a variable rate of interest based on LIBOR and we paypaid a fixed rate of interest at 1.59%.  interest. The following table summarizes the previous interest rate swap agreement.

Fixed Rate2.98 %

As discussed in Note 8. Debt, concurrently with the closing of the Convertible Notes, the proceeds from this transaction were used to pay off all amounts outstanding under our Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement, after which the Company had no outstanding debt with variable rate interest. On May 1, 2020, the remaining obligation to make any further payments under the swap agreement was effective asterminated. As a result of December 30, 2016 andthe termination, the company paid a termination datefee of $3.3 million, which is included within Loss on Termination of Cash Flow Hedge in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note F – Class A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On December 30, 2015, NeoGenomics issued 14,666,667 shares of its Series A Preferred stock as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Clarient.  11. Stock-Based Compensation

The Series A Preferred Stock has a face value of $7.50 per share for a total liquidation value of $110 million.  During the first year, the Series A Preferred Stock had a liquidation value of $100 million if the shares were redeemed prior to December 29, 2016.  On December 22, 2016, the Company redeemed 8,066,667 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for $55.0 million in cash.  The redemption amount per share equaled $6.8181825 ($7.50 minus the liquidation discount of 9.0909%).  At September 30, 2017, 6,600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding.  

The carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock at September 30, 2017 was $30.1 million as compared to the carrying amount at December 31, 2016 of $22.9 million.  The increase in the carrying amount is due to the accrual of deemed dividends ofrecorded approximately $2.7 million the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature of approximately $5.1and $3.3 million during the nine months ending September 30, 2017 and the additional BCF discounts for payment-in-kind shares accrued during the nine months ending September 30, 2017 of $0.6 million.  Both the deemed dividends and the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature are recorded as distributions to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock on the income statement with the corresponding entry recorded as an increase to the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Issue Discount

The Company recorded the Series A Preferred Stock at a fair value of approximately $73.2 million or $4.99 per share on the date of issuance.  The difference between the fair value of $73.2 million and the liquidation value of $110 million represents a discount of $36.8 million from the initial face value as a result of assessing the impact the rights and features of the instrument and their effect on the value to the Company.  After the partial redemption, the Series A Preferred stock has a fair value of approximately $32.9 million or $4.99 per share.  The difference between the fair value of $32.9 million and the liquidation value of $49.5 million represents a discount of approximately $16.6 million.  

Beneficial Conversion Features

The fair value of the common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible exceeded the allocated purchase price fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock at the date of issuance and after redemption by approximately $44.7 and $20.1 million, respectively, resulting in a beneficial conversion feature.  The Company will recognize the beneficial conversion feature as non-cash, deemed dividend to the holder of Series A Preferred Stock over the first three years the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, as the date the stock first becomes convertible is three years from the issue date.  The amount recognizedstock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was2020 and 2019, respectively, and approximately $1.7$7.5 million and $5.1$7.7 million respectively.  

In addition to the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) recorded at the original issue date, we recorded additional BCF discounts for payment-in-kind shares accrued for quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, as dividends.  After the early redemption, the face value of the remaining Series A Preferred Stock is $49.5 million.  We will issue 264,000 additional shares ($49.5 million * 4.0%) / $7.50) of Series A Preferred Stock as payment-in-kind dividendsin stock-based compensation expense for the year ending December 31, 2017, the first year dividends are payable.  The additional 264,000 shares will be discounted and amortized to the income statement over the remaining period up to the earliest conversion date, which is three years from the original issue date.  The additional BCF discount recorded for the three and nine monthsmonth periods ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $201,2402020 and $603,7202019, respectively.

Automatic Conversion

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of the tenth anniversary of the original issue date will automatically convert into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock.

Classification  

The Company classified the Series A Preferred Stock as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets due to certain change in control events that are outside the Company’s control, including deemed liquidation events described in the Series A Certificate of Designation.

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 I – Commitments

During12. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

We present both basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing “Net income (loss)” by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock awards were exercised and if our Convertible Notes were converted. The potential dilution from stock awards is accounted for using the treasury stock method based on the average market value of the Company's common stock. The potential dilution from conversion of the Convertible Notes is accounted for using the if-converted method, which requires that all of the shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes will be included in the calculation of diluted EPS assuming conversion of the Convertible Notes at the beginning of the reporting period (or at time of issuance, if later).
The following table shows the calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except per share amounts).

On May 22, 2020, the Company formed a capital leasestrategic alliance with Inivata Limited, a 36 month termcompany incorporated in England and Wales (“Inivata”), and entered into a $1.00 buyout option.Strategic Alliance Agreement and Laboratory Services Agreement whereas Inivata will render and perform certain laboratory testing which the Company will make available to customers. The terms and conditions of the Laboratory Services Agreement are consistent with those that would be negotiated between willing parties on an arm's length basis. Related party amounts related to Inivata for the third quarter were immaterial.
In addition to the Laboratory Services Agreement, the Company also entered into an Investment Agreement with Inivata (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company acquired Series C1 Preference Shares (the “Preference Shares”) for $25 million in cash (the “Investment”) resulting in a minority interest ratein Inivata’s outstanding equity and an Option Deed which provides the Company with an option to purchase Inivata (the “Purchase Option”). The Investment was made in 2 equal installments, with the initial installment made in May 2020 and the second installment in August 2020.
Inivata is a VIE and the Company's investment is under this lease will vary20% of the total equity outstanding. The Company considers qualitative factors in assessing the primary beneficiary of the VIE which include understanding the purpose and design of the VIE, associated risks that the VIE creates, activities that could be directed by the Company, and the expected relative impact of those activities on the economic performance of the VIE. Based on an evaluation of these factors, the Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of Inivata.
The power to control the activities that most significantly impact Inivata’s economic performance are the sole responsibility of Inivata's management, however the Company does have significant influence over Inivata. As the Preference Shares were determined to not be in-substance common stock, and because the Preference Shares and the Purchase Option do not have readily determinable fair values, the Company has elected to measure the Preference Shares and the Purchase Option at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. There were no such events and the Company determined no adjustments to the carrying amounts of the Preference Shares and the Purchase Option were necessary at September 30, 2020.
Upon acquisition, the Investment was allocated between the Preference Shares and the Purchase Option based on the timingrelative fair value of each and is recorded, along with associated transaction costs, as “Investment in non-consolidated affiliate” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2020, the investment is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as its equity is not traded on a public exchange. At September 30, 2020, the carrying amount of the construction payments.  We anticipate this projectinvestment in non-consolidated affiliate is $25.6 million. The value is comprised of $19.2 million in Preference Shares, a $5.8 million Purchase Option and $0.6 million of associated transaction costs.
The Company and Inivata also entered into a line of credit agreement in the amount of $15 million (the “Line of Credit”). The Line of Credit will be available to be complete indrawn by Inivata beginning on January 1, 2021 and has a maturity date of December 1, 2025. The Line of Credit bears interest at 0% per annum and the first quarterunpaid principal balance is payable on January 1, 2026. The Line of 2018.

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ CapitalNasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “NEO”.

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included herein. The information contained below includes statements of the Company’s or management’s beliefs, expectations, hopes, goals and plans that, if not historical, are forward-looking statements subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion on forward-looking statements, see the information set forth in the introductory note to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements”, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

COVID-19 Pandemic
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and the disease has since spread across the world, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The outbreak of the pandemic is materially adversely affecting the Company’s employees, patients, communities and business operations, as well as the United States (“U.S.”) economy and financial markets. The full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows are likely to continue to be materially adversely affected, particularly if the pandemic persists for a significant amount of time.
The impact from the COVID-19 pandemic and the related disruptions have had a material adverse impact on our results of operations, volume growth rates and clinical test volumes in 2020. Demand may fluctuate to historically low levels depending on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume, additional governmental actions that may be taken and/or extensions of time for restrictions that have been imposed to date, and numerous other uncertainties. Such events may result in business disruption, reduced revenues and number of tests, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We have implemented significant actions to protect our employees and maintain a safe environment while maintaining a continuity of critical oncology testing for cancer patients. Among other actions, we have de-densified our laboratories and facilities, adjusted laboratory shifts, restricted visitors to facilities, restricted employee travel, implemented an Emergency Paid Time Off policy, provided remote work-environment training and support, and managed its supply chains. Importantly, all main laboratory facilities have remained open and there has been an uninterrupted continuity of high-quality testing services for clients. The Company's top priority remains the health and safety of employees and continued quality and service for all clients with a focus on patient care. We are positioned to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The addition of COVID-19 PCR testing capabilities and our broad test menu enables our sales teams to identify opportunities for increasing revenues.
For additional information on risk factors related to the pandemic or other risks that could impact our results, please refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.
Overview

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, 2017,2020, the Company had laboratory locations in Fort Myers and Tampa, Florida; Aliso Viejo, Carlsbad and Fresno, CA; TampaSan Diego, California; Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; 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 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.

abnormal chromosomes and their relationship to disease. Cytogenetics involves analyzing the chromosome structure to identify changes from patterns seen

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.

34

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.

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.

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) monitoring.
d.Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Digital Imaging – 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 – 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: liquid biopsy tests for advanced non-small cell lung cancer, all solid tumor types (pan-cancer), and certain breast cancer cases; DNA fragment length analysis; polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis; reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, real-time (or quantitative) polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis; bi-directional Sanger sequencing analysis; and next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis.
f.Morphologic analysis – 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 from 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.
Clinical Cancer Testing Services

Segment

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.

NeoGenomics is a leading provider of Molecular and next-generation sequencing (“NGS”) testing. These tests are interpreted by NeoGenomics’ team of Molecular experts and are often ordered in conjunction with other testing modalities. NGS panels are one of our fastest growing testing areas and clients can often receive a significant amount of biomarker information from very

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

limited samples. These comprehensive panels can allow for faster treatment decisions for patients as compared to a series of single-gene molecular tests being ordered sequentially. NeoGenomics has one of the broadest Molecular menus in the industry and our targeted NeoTYPE panels include genes relevant to a particular cancer type, as well as other complementary tests such as immunohistochemistry and FISH. This comprehensive menu means that NeoGenomics can be a “one-stop shop” for our clients who can get all of their oncology testing needs satisfied by our laboratory. This is attractive to our clients as patient samples do not need to be split and then managed across several laboratories. NeoGenomics expects our Molecular laboratory and NGS capabilities to be a key growth driver in the coming years.
In addition, we directly serve oncology, dermatology and other clinician practices that prefer to have a direct relationship with a laboratory for cancer-related genetic 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. In certain instances, larger clinician practices have begun to internalize pathology interpretation services, and 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 divisionrevenue consists of three revenue streams:
Clinical trials and research;
Validation laboratory services; and
Informatics
Our Pharma Services segment 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 provideprovides 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 experience in supporting submissions to the Federal Drug Administration (“FDA”) for companion diagnostics. Our Pharma Services strategy is focused on helping bring more effective oncology treatments to market through providing world classworld-class laboratory services in oncology to key pharmaceutical companies in the industry.

2017 Focus Areas: Develop High Performance Culture, Inspire & “Own” Quality, Accelerate Growth

We believe that NeoGenomics is uniquely positioned to service Pharma sponsors across the full continuum of the drug development process. Our Pharma Services team can work with them during the basic research and Advance Our Strategy

Overdevelopment phase as compounds come out of translational research departments as well as work with clients from Phase 1 clinical trials through Phases II and III as the past several years,sponsors work to prove the efficacy of their drugs. The laboratory biomarker tests that are developed during this process may become companion diagnostic, or CDx tests, that will be used on patients to determine if they could respond to a certain therapy. NeoGenomics has experienced rapid growth including organic growth from offering newis able to offer these CDx tests to existing customers, growth from gainingthe market share fromimmediately after FDA approval as part of our competitors,Day 1 readiness program. This ability helps to speed the commercialization of their drug and growth from acquisitions.  We expectenables Pharma sponsors to continue to grow our businessreach patients through NeoGenomics broad distribution channel in 2017 and are focused on several initiatives to continue to build our Company to be the World’s leading cancer testing and information company.

Accelerate Profitable Growth

Our plans for 20172020 include many initiatives to continue our strong organicto drive profitable 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.innovate. We will continue to pursue market share gains by providing high complexity, cancer-related laboratory testing services to hospitals, community-based pathology and oncology practices, academic centers, clinicians, and clinicians throughout the United States.  

pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, we will focus on continued reimbursement effectiveness through improving coverage, streamlining processes and providing clients more efficient, automated ordering methods, which we believe will continue to fuel our growth and market share.

Our growth has also been aided by stronglaboratory and informatics teams will continue focus on new assays and product offerings, including continued progress towards liquid biopsy, minimal residual disease (“MRD”) and other high-quality tests. We expect this to result in increased market share as well as enabling us to maintain our high levels of client retention.  We believe our client retention success is due to our strong service levels, our tech-only service offerings,
Our 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, including NGS, immunohistochemistry, and immunohistochemistryother testing has helped make us a “one stop“one-stop shop” for many clients who like the factvalue that all of their testing can be sent to one laboratory.

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

time frame. We are committedalso focused on investing in business development and informatics capabilities to being an innovative leaderpartner with our key stakeholders, including patients, providers, payers 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 ablecompanies to provide cutting-edge developments in molecular genetics with clientssolutions to current or near-term problems that they face.

Competitive Strengths
In addition to the competitive strengths discussed below, the Company believes that its superior testing technologies and their patientsinstrumentation, laboratory information system, client education programs 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 offeringsbroad domestic and growing international presence 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-gradedifferentiates NeoGenomics 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 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 approach to serving the needs of pathology clients’ results in longer term, more committed client relationships that are, in effect, strategic partnerships. Our extensive tech-only service offerings have differentiated us and allowed us to compete more effectively against larger, more entrenched competitors in our niche of the industry.

Global Service Offerings

We offer a comprehensive suite of technical and interpretation services, to meet the needs of those clients who are not credentialed and trained in interpreting genetic tests and who require pathology specialists to interpret thetheir testing results for them.results. In our global service offerings, our lab performs the technical component of the tests and our M.D.s and Ph.Ds. provide the service of interpreting the results of those tests. Our professional staff is also available for post-test consultative services. Clients using our global service offering rely on the expertise of our medical team to give them the answers they need in a timely manner to help inform their diagnoses and treatment decisions. Many of our tech-only clients also rely on our medical team for difficult or challenging cases by ordering our global testing services on a case-by-case basis or our medical team can serve as a backup to support our clients who need help to satisfy the continued and demanding requirements of their practice. Our reporting capabilities allow for all relevant case data from our global services to be captured in one summary report. When providing global services, NeoGenomics bills for both the technical and professional component of the test, which results in a higher reimbursement level.

Client Education Programs

We believe we have one of the most extensive client education programsbroadest Molecular and Next-Generation Sequencing test menus in the genetic andworld. Clients have the ability to order single gene molecular tests, targeted NeoTYPE panels that include the relevant actionable genes for a particular cancer type as well as large NGS panels. Our Pharma Services Division offers a full range of sequencing testing industry. We train pathologists how to use and interpret genetic testing services so that they can better interpret technical data and render their diagnosis.

including whole exome sequencing. Our educational programs include an extensive library of on-demand training modules, online courses, webinars and custom tailored on-site training programs that are designed to prepare clients to utilize our tech-only services. We offer training and information on new cancer tests and the latest developments in the field of molecular genetic testing. Each year, we also regularly sponsor seminars and webinars on emerging topics of interest in our field. Our medical staff is involved in many aspects of our training programs.

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 allowsmenu enables 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 tobe a true “one-stop shop” for our clients and our flow cytometry laboratory uses 10-color flow cytometry analysis technology on a technical-only basis.  NeoGenomics is continuallyas we can meet all of their oncology 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,- Northeast, Southeast, North Central, South Central and West), and we have a separate sales team for ourWest. 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 I, II and III 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 LISLaboratory Information Services (“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 Our sales force educates clients on either the West Coast or the East Coast of the United States to service the needs ofnew test offerings and their customers around the country. We believeproper utilization and 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 inrepresentatives are often seen as trusted advisors by 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 spells, heavy snow, hurricanes or tornadostornadoes in certain regions, consequently reducing revenues and cash flows in any affected period.

In our Pharma Services segment, we enter into both short-term and long-term contracts, ranging from one month to several years. While the third quartervolume of 2017, Hurricane Harvey forcedthis testing is not as directly affected by seasonality as described above, the closuretesting volume does vary based on the terms of the contract. Our volumes are often based on how quickly sponsors can get patient enrollees for their trials and seasonality can impact how quickly they can get patients enrolled.

Revenue

Clinical testingServices revenue increased for both the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2017 as2020 increased $16.2 million and $7.8 million when compared to the same periods in 2016.  Testing volumes also2019. These increases in revenue were primarily driven by COVID-19 PCR testing revenue of $17.0 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2020. Clinical testing volume(1) increased in our clinical genetic testing business by approximately 16.6%2.0% and 16.0%decreased by approximately 3.3% for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019.
Pharma Services revenue for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  The increases in revenue and volume were due to strong growth in molecular and histology testing as well as growth in immuno-histochemistry tests due to demand for the PD-L1 test as a result 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 volumes2020 increased quarter over quarter and year over year, we believe the impact of hurricanes Harvey and Irma depressed our revenues by approximately $1.0$4.6 million and volumes by approximately 1.5% during the third quarter of 2017.  Our sales team has largely finished integration related

activities, which was a distraction from their efforts to sell new business.  We believe the team can now be re-focused on growth and selling the benefits of the combined company.    

Pharma Services revenue increased approximately 37% and 7% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 as$8.6 million compared to the same periods in 2016.2019, primarily due to the impact of an increase in revenues related to clinical trials and the acquisition of HLI - Oncology. This growth was partially offset by an overall decrease in revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, our backlog of signed contracts has continued to grow from $46.5$130.3 million as of June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 to $58.0$185.4 million as of September 30, 2017.2020. We expect this backlog to result in higher revenues in future quarters.  We also expect to see growth in our Pharma Services division due to our international expansion into Geneva, Switzerland.  This facility will be operational 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.

New immuno-histochemistry tests such 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.

Average revenue per test decreasedwas approximately flat for boththe three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the corresponding periods in 2019.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Average cost per clinical test increased 3.7% and 10.8% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 as2020, compared to the corresponding periods in the previous year.  These decreases are primarily2019, reflecting a volume reduction due to the changeCOVID-19 pandemic and the fixed nature of many of our laboratory costs. In addition, the Company did not reduce its workforce due to temporary declines in test mix, specifically the increase in PD-L1 testing which has a lower average unit price (“AUP”) than our overall Company AUP.  The 19% Medicare cut in Flow Cytometry reimbursement as a result of the 2017 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule also contributedvolume related to the lower revenue per test.

These decreases to our average revenue per test were offset by our higher volumes 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.

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

Gross profit margin increased slightly for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period last year.  These increases were achieved despite the reduction in our 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, 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 milliondecreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to the timing of Pharma Services revenue, higher costs due to the integration of Genoptix and HLI - Oncology and additional testing capacity which was unused due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of employee-relatedpayroll and payroll related costs (salaries, fringe benefits, and stock based compensation expense) for our billing, finance, human resources, information technology and other administrative personnel.personnel as well as stock-based compensation. We also allocate professional services, facilities expense, IT infrastructure costs, bad debt expense, depreciation, amortization and other administrative-related costs to general and administrative expenses.

The increase in our general


General and administrative expenses increased $3.1 million and $12.3 million for the three and nine months 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 when2020, compared to the same period in 2016.  Bad debt as a percentage of revenue was 7.9%, which was 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 compared2019. These increases reflect acquisition costs and incremental expenses related to the same period in 2016.  Bad debt as a percentageacquisition 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 primarily related to changes in payer dynamics including pre authorization denialsHLI - Oncology as well as increased denials for next generation sequencing testshigher payroll 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, primarilypayroll related costs due to feesincreases in 2017personnel to support our near and long-term growth. Acquisition and integration costs related to the Pharma Services facility in Geneva, Switzerland opening in November of 2017HLI - Oncology were approximately $0.4 million and an increase in legal reserves for the three months ended September 30, 2017 related to a lawsuit brought against Clarient.

Payroll expenses increased$1.9 million 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.

2020.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in total but decrease 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 costcosts 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.

These decreases are subject to variable accounting 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 decreasethe timing of project expenses offset by investments in amortization expense for the Health Discovery Corporation license agreements which were being amortized as intangible assets, but were fully impairednew test development, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2016.

ResearchCOVID-19 PCR test development, our Next-Generation Sequencing 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.  FDA initiatives.

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.

Use of non-GAAPNon-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s financial results and financial guidance 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 the presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company’s core operating results and comparison of core operating results across reporting periods and between entities.periods. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting purposes and to manage the Company’s business.

NEOGENOMICS, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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 ourthe Company’s 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.

27


NEOGENOMICS, INC.

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

Definitions of non-GAAP measures

Non – GAAPNon-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

We define “EBITDA”

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined by NeoGenomics as net income from continuing operations before: (i) interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.

Non – GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” 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 transactionacquisition and integration related expenses, (vi) non-cash impairments of intangible assets, (vii) 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.

including any debt financing costs.

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 analyses that are 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


(1) Other significant non-recurring income 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.  Revisionsexpenses includes grant income received related to the allowance are recorded as an adjustment to badCARES Act, cash flow hedge termination fees, debt expense within generalretirement fees 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 compared 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 years which resulted in a higher balance in accounts receivable and the allowance as of December 2016.  The decreases are also due to changes in the timing 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.

The increase in cash used in operating activities was partially offset by net working capital adjustments of $48.1 million. Included in the net loss of $11.2 million was grant income of $7.9 million related to the CARES Act. The change in operating assets was primarily driven by an increase in accounts receivable due to an increases in revenue, an increase in funds distributed for the construction of the new senior secured creditheadquarters facility, in orderand an increase in inventory due to reduce our exposurehigher spend on materials to interest rate fluctuationsmitigate the risk of potential supply chain disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as inventory purchased to perform COVID-19 testing.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used in investing activities was $130.6 million, an increase of approximately $117.0 million compared to the same period in 2019. This was primarily due to a net investment of $50.3 million in marketable securities, $37.0 million for the acquisition of the HLI - Oncology, the $25.0 million investment made in Inivata and $3.2 million of cash used for capital expenditures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash provided by financing activities was $227.3 million compared to $162.6 million in the same period in 2019. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted of convertible debt proceeds of $194.5 million, net of deferred finance charges, proceeds from the equity offering of $127.3 million and $10.8 million for the net issuance of common stock. This activity was primarily offset by the use of cash in the amounts of $101.9 million for the net repayment of the term loan and other financing obligations and $3.3 million in cash flow hedge terminations fees.
Liquidity Outlook
On May 4, 2020, the Company completed the sale of $175.0 million of 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due May 2025 (the “Convertible Notes”). And on this floating rate debt obligation, we alsoMay 19, 2020, the Underwriters of the Convertible Notes exercised their option to purchase an additional $26.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes (the “Over-allotment Option”) on the same terms and conditions, solely to cover over-allotments with respect to the Convertible Notes offering. The total net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the total exercise of the Over-allotment Option was approximately $194.4 million, which includes approximately $6.9 million of discounts, commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company. For further details regarding the Convertible Notes, please refer to Note 8. Debt, in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In addition, in April 2020, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement relating to the issuance and sale of 4,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock Offering”), $0.001 par value per share. The price to the public in this offering was $28.50 per share and the Company agreed to sell the shares to the Underwriters at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commission of $1.71 per share. Under the terms of the underwriting agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 660,000 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. In June 2020, closing took place on a partial exercise of the Underwriters’ option and the Company issued the Underwriters an additional 351,500 shares. The net proceeds from the Common Stock

Offering and partial exercise of the Underwriters’ option were approximately $127.3 million, net of underwriting commissions of approximately $8.1 million.
The Company used $96.3 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes and the Common Stock Offering to repay all outstanding amounts, including principal, accrued interest rate swap agreement.  For more information on this hedging instrument, see Note Eand fees, under its Prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement with PNC Bank National Association and intends to Consolidated Financial Statements herein.  The interest rate swap agreement effectively convertsuse the remainder for general corporate purposes and may use a portion of our floating rate debtthe net proceeds 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$233.2 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017.  In addition, we have a revolving credit facility which provides for up2020. The Company had $50.4 million of marketable securities and considers all securities available-for-sale, including those with maturity dates beyond 12 months as they are available to $75 million in borrowing capacity of which at September 30, 2017, based on our level of adjusted EBITDA, approximately $9.3 million was available.support current operational liquidity needs. We believe that the cash on hand, available credit linesmarketable securities and positive cash flows generated from operationscollections 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 cash payments for capital expenditures for the year endedending December 31, 20172020 will be in the range of $16.0$25 million to $18.5$30 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, we purchased, with cash, approximately $10.2$17.6 million of capital equipment, software and leasehold improvements and an additional $3.2 million was acquired through capital lease obligations.improvements. We have in the pasthistorically funded and plan to continue funding these capital expenditures with capital lease financing arrangements,obligations, 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

Please refer 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 describedas 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.
