Pro Forma Adjustments

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are as follows:

Pro Forma Adjustments – Balance Sheet

a) Reflects goodwill and deferred tax liability resulting from the acquisition method of accounting based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Transgenomic. This also includes the elimination of Transgenomic’s historical stockholders’ deficit accounts because Transgenomic is not considered to be the accounting acquirer.

b) Reflects acquired intangibles resulting from the acquisition method of accounting based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Transgenomic.

c) Elimination of historical intangibles of Transgenomic.

d) Issuance of New Precipio common stock.

e) Transgenomic pre-merger preferred stock converted to common stock.

f) Transgenomic pre-merger debt and accrued interest converted to common stock and $3 million of New Precipio preferred stock with an 8% annual dividend.

g) Issuance of New Precipio preferred stock of $0.4 million and $0.8 million in a convertible note to investors in a private placement. The pro forma reflects an investment of $1.2 million to be received at the time of the merger. The total expected to be received from the investors will be between $1.2 million and $7.0 million. The balance sheet impact of any amount received above the initial $1.2 million would be an increase to both cash and stockholders’ equity.

h) Precipio pre-merger debt and accrued interest converted to common stock and $3 million of New Precipio preferred stock with an 8% annual dividend.

i) Precipio pre-merger preferred shares converted to New Precipio common stock.
