Covid-19 COVID-19
During 2020, due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the Company experienced a reduction in patient test volumes, delays in patient enrollment in ongoing and planned clinical studies, and delays in the procurement of its testing supplies. In response to the pandemic, the Company has curtailed non-essential employee travel, equipped employees with the ability to work remotely with the exception of clinical laboratory employees, and reduced marketing spend and employee headcount. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly continue to impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, including, the success of ongoing vaccination efforts, the emergence and prevalence of variant strains of COVID-19, the institution or reinstitution of shutdowns, "stay-at-home-orders" and other public health measures as well as the related economic impact of these matters on local, regional and international markets.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits net operating loss (NOL) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate or income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), NOLs generated post TCJA were allowed to be carried forward indefinitely but were only allowed to offset 80% of taxable income. As a result of the CARES Act and the change to permit NOLs generated in taxable years 2018, 2019 and 2020 to offset 100% of taxable income, the Company released valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in the amount of $0.1 million. The release of valuation allowance resulted in a discrete tax benefit of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2020.

In April 2020, the Company received $0.7 million of funding under the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund, subject to the Company's agreement to comply with the Department of Health & Human Services' standard terms and conditions. The CARES Act Provider Relief Fund is a federal fund allocated for general distributions to Medicare facilities and providers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and is intended to support COVID-related expenses or lost revenue attributable to COVID-19. The funding received is considered a government grant, which is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that conditions attached to the grant have been met. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $0 and $0.7 million, respectively, due to lost revenue attributable to COVID-19, which is reflected in other income, net, on its condensed statements of operations.
On April 16, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note (the Note) with BOKF, NA dba Bank of Oklahoma (BofO), the lender, evidencing an unsecured loan pursuant to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) of the CARES Act of approximately $2.9 million (the PPP Loan). The Company applied for and received the PPP Loan pursuant to the then published PPP qualification and certification requirements. On April 23, 2020, the SBA, in consultation with the Department of Treasury, issued new guidance that created uncertainty regarding the qualification requirements for the PPP Loan (the New Guidance). In light of the New Guidance, on May 11, 2020, the Company paid off in full the principal and interest on the PPP Loan, resulting in the termination of the Note.

On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law. It provides additional COVID-19 focused relief and extends certain provisions of the CARES Act. At this time, the Company does not believe that the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 has a material impact on its financial statements.
