Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Risks and Uncertainties [Policy Text Block] | Risks and Uncertainties We are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties similar to those of other companies, such as those associated with the continued expansion of our sales and marketing network, technological developments, intellectual property protection, development of markets for new products and services offered by us, the economic health of our principal customers , financial and operational risks associated with expansion of testing facilities we use, government regulation (including, but not limited to, FDA regulations, proposed laws and regulations, and delays in implementation of laws and regulations), competition and general economic conditions. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates, including those related to bad debts, long-lived asset lives, income tax valuation and share based compensation, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less as cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, there were no |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Property and Equipment Property & equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using the straight-line method. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives of the assets are: Computer software 3 to 5 years Office furniture and equipment 3 to 7 years Laboratory equipment 5 to 7 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of estimated useful life or lease term We recorded depreciation and amortization related to property and equipment and capitalized software of $1.7 million, $2.4 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. We had $613 thousand of capitalized software and equipment that was not placed in service as of December 31, 2023, which is included as a component of computer software on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. |
Research, Development, and Computer Software, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Capitalized Software Development Costs We capitalize costs related to significant software projects developed or obtained for internal use, including costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement. Costs incurred during the preliminary project work stage or conceptual stage, such as determining the performance requirements, system requirements and data conversion, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the application development phase, such as coding, testing for new software and upgrades that result in additional functionality, are capitalized and are amortized using the straight-line method over the useful life of the software for three five |
Other Assets [Policy Text Block] | Other Assets Other assets primarily consist of capitalized legal costs relating to patent applications. We amortize these costs over the lesser of the legal life or estimated useful life of the patent from the date of grant of the applicable patent. The typical life is twenty |
Receivables, Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses is based on management’s assessment of the ability to collect amounts owed to us by our customers. Management reviews the collectability of our accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for estimated losses that could result from the inability of our customers to make required payments, taking into consideration customer credit history and financial condition, industry and market segment information, credit reports, and economic trends and conditions. We maintain an allowance for potential credit losses but historically has not experienced any significant losses related to individual customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area. |
Revenue [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition We are in the business of performing drug testing services and reporting the results thereof. Our services are primarily drug and alcohol testing for our customers for an agreed-upon fee per unit tested. The revenues are recognized when the drug test is performed and reported to the customer. Revenue is recognized when control of the services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration (none of which is variable) we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services. We typically invoice customers monthly for services provided and payments are generally due within 30 to 60 days of the invoice date. The table below disaggregates our external revenue by major source (in thousands). For additional revenue detail relating to geographic breakdown of sales, see Note 13 – “Business Segment Reporting” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report. Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Consolidated Revenue: Testing $ 18,661 $ 21,608 Shipping / Collection (hair) 3,316 3,476 Other 121 156 Total Revenue $ 22,098 $ 25,240 Testing Revenue Drug and alcohol tests for drugs of abuse using hair, performed in our forensic laboratory in California, represents our primary service. Sales to customers are initiated through sales agreements, most of which have standard terms. Most tests are identified through a chain of custody form (“CCF”) and can therefore be uniquely tracked. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our service, which occurs at a specific point-in-time. The specific point-in-time is the completion of the test and availability of test results to the customer. Most tests are completed the same day that the hair specimen is received. Substantially all tests are completed within a few days once received for processing at our laboratory in California. As the tests are performed in a forensic laboratory, the exact date and time of each test completion is available and used in the timing of recognition of revenue. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for providing services. Sales taxes we pay concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Shipping and Hair Collection Revenue Shipping revenue represents the amount billed to customers related to shipping of the hair specimen and CCF (collectively called the “sample”) to our laboratory. Collection revenue represents the amount billed to customers related to the collection of the hair specimen. This collection is done by third parties who we have contracted with. Shipping and hair collection revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our service, which occurs at a specific point-in-time. The specific point-in-time is the completion of the test (associated with the shipping or hair collection charge) and availability of test results to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for providing services. As we control the service before transferring to the customer, we are considered a principal in the transaction, and therefore record revenues on a gross basis, with shipping and hair collection costs in costs of revenues. Other Revenue Other revenue represents several items including: urine testing performed by other labs, medical review officer charges, legal/testifying services, and other miscellaneous charges. The total of all these items is less than 1% of total revenue. The amounts are generally billed to customers as services are performed, which occurs at a specific point-in-time. Practical Expedients and Exemptions We generally expense sales commissions when incurred as they are typically not related to costs to fulfill customer contracts but relate to overall sales targets. These costs are recorded within marketing and selling expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Research and Development Expenses We expense all research and development costs as incurred. |
Contingent Liability Reserve Estimate, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Contingencies Loss contingencies from legal proceedings and claims may occur from government investigations, shareholder lawsuits, product liability, contractual claims, tax and other matters. Accruals are recognized when it is probable a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the liability method pursuant to ASC 740, “ Income Taxes |
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are principally cash and accounts receivable. Our policy is to place our cash in high quality financial institutions. At times, including presently, these deposits may exceed or be exempt from federally insured limits. We do not believe significant credit risk exists with respect to these institutions. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to certain customers to whom we make substantial sales. To reduce risk, we routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and, as a consequence, believe that our accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. We maintain an allowance for potential credit losses but historically have not experienced any significant losses related to individual customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area. We do not require collateral. We have no significant off-balance-sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. |
Major Customers, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk We had no two one |
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block] | Stock-Based Compensation We account for equity awards in accordance with ASC 718, “ Compensation Stock Compensation Stock compensation expense by statements of operations account is as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Cost of revenues $ 40 $ 63 General & administrative 756 626 Marketing & selling 47 113 Research & development 65 70 Total stock compensation $ 908 $ 872 See Note 7 – “Stock-Based Awards” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for additional information relating to our stock plan. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period has been determined in accordance with the treasury-stock method. Common equivalent shares consist of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and the unvested portion of stock unit awards (“SUAs”). Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding are as follows (in thousands): 2023 2022 Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic 5,740 5,626 Dilutive common equivalent shares - - Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution 5,740 5,626 For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, options to purchase 512 thousand and 508 thousand common shares were outstanding but not included in the dilutive common equivalent share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The following outstanding common stock equivalents were not included in the dilutive common equivalent share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands): 2023 2022 Options 512 508 SUAs 140 238 652 746 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value Measurements The fair values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities. The carrying value of long term debt approximates its fair value, as it is based on current market rates at which we could borrow funds with similar terms. |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Preparation and Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Segment Reporting We manage our operations as one segment, drug testing services. As a result, the financial information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to our principal operating segment. See Note 13 – “Business Segment Reporting” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for geographic breakdown of revenue. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires disclosures to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, among other provisions. The ASU is effective for fiscal year periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The ASU primarily enhances and expands both the income tax rate reconciliation disclosure and the income taxes paid disclosure. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption to our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
