SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets related to the business combination, allowance for contractual adjustments and discounts related to service revenues, and the useful lives of fixed assets. Principles of Consolidation The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect its financial statements, those of its wholly owned subsidiaries, and certain variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, OncoSelect ® In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, it applies a qualitative approach that determines whether it has both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. The Company continuously assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in the Company consolidating or deconsolidating one or more of its collaborators or partners. Business Combination On September 18, 2023, the Company, in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement it entered into with Village Oaks and Roby P. Joyce, M.D., dated September 18, 2023, acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Village Oaks in exchange for total consideration of $ 3,500,000 2.5 564,972 1 ® The Company recognized goodwill of $ 1,404,000 The following table summarizes the purchase price and finalized purchase price allocations relating to the acquisition: SCHEDULE OF PURCHASE PRICE AND FINALIZED PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATIONS Cash $ 2,500,000 Common Stock 1,000,000 Total purchase consideration $ 3,500,000 Assets Net working capital (including cash) $ 912,000 Property and equipment 326,000 Other assets 8,000 Customer relationships 700,000 Trade names and trademarks 150,000 Goodwill 1,404,000 Total net assets $ 3,500,000 Goodwill represents the excess fair value after the allocation to the identifiable net assets. The calculated goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary purchase price allocations relating to the acquisition previously reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed November 14, 2023, reported net working capital of $ 1,167,000 1,149,000 811,000 For prior year comparative purposes, the pro-forma statement of operations as if combined on January 1, 2023, would result in net revenues of $ 5,639,186 6,244,179 0.73 Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, because of the short maturity of these instruments. Concentration of Risk The Company has significant cash balances at financial institutions which throughout the year regularly exceed the federally insured limit of $ 250,000 Advertising Expense The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $ 232,396 42,947 101,271 15,206 Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period and the weighted-average number of dilutive Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive Common Stock equivalents are comprised of in-the-money stock options, convertible notes payable, unvested restricted stock, and warrants based on the average stock price for each period using the treasury stock method. The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, as they would be anti-dilutive: SCHEDULE OF POTENTIALLY DILUTIVE SECURITIES 2024 2023 As of September 30, 2024 2023 Shares underlying options outstanding 337,810 683,695 Shares underlying warrants outstanding 9,573,898 4,649,952 Shares underlying unvested restricted stock 415,282 133,414 Anti-dilutive securities 10,326,990 5,467,061 Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes as revenue the amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for goods sold or services rendered primarily upon completion of the testing process (when results are reported) or when services have been rendered. Patient Service Fee Revenue Net revenues from patient service fees accounted for greater than 85 The process for estimating revenues and the ultimate collection of accounts receivable involves significant judgment and estimation. The Company follows a standard process, which considers historical denial and collection experience and other factors (including the period of time that the receivables have been outstanding), to estimate contractual allowances and implicit price concessions, recording adjustments in the current period as changes in estimates. Further adjustments to the allowances, based on actual receipts, may be recorded upon settlement.

The Company’s research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for laboratory operations, preclinical studies, compensation, and consulting costs. Accrued Research and Development Costs The Company records accrued liabilities for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by service providers, which include preclinical studies. The Company records the estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced and includes these costs in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and within research and development expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company accrues for these costs based on factors such as estimates of the work completed and in accordance with agreements established with service providers. The Company makes significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued expenses balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accrued liabilities. The Company has not experienced any material differences between accrued costs and actual costs incurred since its inception. Regulatory Matters Regulations imposed by federal, state, and local authorities in the United States (“U.S.”) are a significant factor in providing medical care. In the U.S., drugs, biological products, and medical devices are regulated by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), which is administered by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the CMS.
