Organization |
|
Vermillion, Inc. (“Vermillion”; Vermillion and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company”) is incorporated in the state of Delaware, and is engaged in the business of developing and commercializing diagnostic tests for gynecologic disease. In March 2010, the Company commercially launched OVA1™ ovarian tumor triage test (“OVA1”). The Company distributes OVA1 through Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (“Quest Diagnostics”) (see Note 2) and through its wholly-owned Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (“CLIA”) certified clinical laboratory, ASPiRA LABS, Inc. (“ASPiRA LABS”), which opened on June 23, 2014. |
Liquidity |
The Company expects cash for OVA tests to be its only material, recurring source of cash in 2015. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow from operations. In addition, there is no assurance of our ability to generate substantial revenues and cash flows from ASPiRA’s operations. |
Our management believes that the current working capital position will be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. However, our management also believes that the successful achievement of our business objectives will require additional financing. We expect to raise capital through a variety of sources, which may include the public equity market, private equity financing, collaborative arrangements, licensing arrangements, and/or public or private debt. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital over the next year, it may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate key research and development activities, including a planned registry study, which would eliminate or delay our plans to launch future products. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. |
|
Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and dilution to stockholders. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, it may be required to relinquish its rights to certain technologies or products that it might otherwise seek to retain. Additional funding may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company. |

Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of results for the periods presented, have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any other interim period. |
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 included in this report has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in Vermillion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2015. |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated results. |
Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to current year presentation. |
Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies |
The Company has made no significant changes in its critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in Vermillion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. |
