Asset Acquisition of Razor Genomics, Inc. | 6. Asset acquisition of Razor Genomics, Inc. On September 30, 2019, Oncocyte completed the purchase of 1,329,870 shares of Razor Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), representing 25% of the outstanding equity of Razor on a fully diluted basis, for $10 million in cash (the “Initial Closing”) pursuant to a Subscription and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated September 4, 2019, among Oncocyte, Encore Clinical, Inc. (“Encore”), and Razor. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Oncocyte entered into Minority Holder Stock Purchase Agreements of like tenor (the “Minority Purchase Agreements”) with the shareholders of Razor other than Encore (the “Minority Shareholders”) for the future purchase of the shares of Razor common stock they own. Oncocyte has also entered into certain other agreements with Razor and Encore, including a Sublicense and Distribution Agreement (the “Sublicense Agreement”), a Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”), and an amendment to a Laboratory Services Agreement (the “Laboratory Agreement”) pursuant to which Oncocyte became a party to that agreement. Purchase Option The Purchase Agreement and Minority Shareholder Agreements granted Oncocyte the option to acquire the balance of the outstanding shares of Razor common stock from Encore under the Purchase Agreement and from the Minority Shareholders under the Minority Purchase Agreements (the “Option”) for an additional $10 million in cash and Oncocyte common stock valued at $5 million in total (the “Additional Purchase Payment”). Oncocyte agreed to exercise the Option if, within a specified time frame, certain milestones are met related to the contracting of clinical trial sites for a clinical trial of DetermaRx™. On January 29, 2021, the principal shareholder of Razor informed Oncocyte that the milestone requiring Oncocyte to purchase the outstanding shares of Razor common stock had been attained under the Purchase Agreement and Minority Shareholder Purchase Agreements. On February 24, 2021, Oncocyte exercised the Option and completed the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Razor and paid the selling shareholders in total $10 million in cash and issued a total of 982,318 shares of Oncocyte common stock having a market value of $5.7 million on that date. As a result of Oncocyte exercising the Option and purchasing the Razor common stock, Oncocyte is now the sole shareholder of Razor. Development Agreement Under the Development Agreement, Razor reserved as a “Clinical Trial Expense Reserve” $4 million of the proceeds it received at the Initial Closing from the sale of the Preferred Stock to Oncocyte, to fund Razor’s share of costs incurred in connection with a clinical trial of DetermaRx™ for purposes of promoting commercialization (“Clinical Trial”). On February 24, 2021, upon the completion of the outstanding shares of Razor common stock and consolidation of Razor’s accounts, Oncocyte obtained control of approximately $3.4 million in cash from Razor, which was the remaining balance in the Clinical Trial Expense Reserve account that Razor was using to pay for the Clinical Trial expenses. Beginning on February 24, 2021, this balance was transferred to Oncocyte’s control as part of the acquisition date assets and liabilities recorded from the Razor entity shown below. Oncocyte will be responsible for all expenses for the Clinical Trial up to the total budget amount approved by representatives of Oncocyte and Encore on a Steering Committee, which is expected to cover multiple years and is estimated to cost up to $16 million. Upon completion of enrollment of the full number of patients for the Clinical Trial, Oncocyte will issue to Encore and the Minority Shareholders shares of Oncocyte common stock with an aggregate market value at the date of issue equal to $3 million (“Clinical Trial Milestone Payment”). If the issuance of shares of common stock having a market value of $3 million would require Oncocyte to issue a number of shares that, when combined with any shares issued under the Purchase Agreement and the Minority Shareholder Purchase Agreements, would exceed the number of shares that may be issued without shareholder approval under applicable stock exchange rules, Oncocyte may deliver the number of shares permissible under stock exchange rules and an amount of cash necessary to bring the combined value of cash and shares to $3 million. If, within a specified time frame, Encore is substantially responsible for obtaining funding to Oncocyte or Razor for the Clinical Trial from any third-party pharmaceutical company, a portion of such additional funding amount will be paid to Encore, subject to a $3 million cap on the payment to Encore if the funding is provided by a designated pharmaceutical company. Sublicense Agreement Under the Sublicense Agreement, Razor granted to Oncocyte an exclusive worldwide sublicense under certain patent rights applicable to DetermaRx™ in the field of use covered by the applicable license held by Razor for purposes of commercialization and development of DetermaRx™. Pursuant to the Razor Sublicense Agreement, Oncocyte will pay all royalties and all revenue sharing and earnout payments owed by Razor to certain third parties with respect to DetermaRx™ revenues, including the licensor of the patent rights sublicensed to Oncocyte, but those payments will be deducted from gross revenues to determine net revenues for the purpose of paying royalties to the former Razor shareholders. Total royalty and earnout payments to the former Razor shareholders, the licensor, and other third parties will be a low double-digit percentage, and in addition certain milestone payments may become due if cumulative net revenue benchmarks are reached. Royalties and earnout payments will be payable on a quarterly basis. This payment obligation will continue after Oncocyte’s purchase of the Razor common stock from Encore and the Minority Shareholders. Laboratory Agreement Under the Laboratory Agreement, Oncocyte has assumed Razor’s Laboratory Agreement payment obligations of $450,000 per year (see Note 14). The Laboratory Agreement gives Oncocyte the right to use Razor’s CLIA laboratory in Brisbane, California. Oncocyte pays Encore a quarterly fee for services related to operating and maintaining the CLIA laboratory, including certain staffing. The Laboratory Agreement will expire on September 29, 2021, but Oncocyte may extend the term for additional one-year periods, or Oncocyte may terminate the agreement at its option. Oncocyte also has the right to terminate the Laboratory Agreement if there is an event or occurrence that adversely affects, in any material respect, DetermaRx™ or its prospects or its ability to be commercialized, and it remains continuing and uncured. Accounting for the Razor Investment Beginning on the Initial Closing and through February 23, 2021, Oncocyte has accounted for the Razor investment under the equity method of accounting under ASC 323 because prior to the Additional Purchase Payment discussed above Oncocyte exercised significant influence over, but did not control, the Razor entity. Oncocyte did not control Razor because, among other factors, Oncocyte was entitled to designate one person to serve on a three-member board of directors of Razor, with the other two members designated by Encore. Also, any deadlocked decisions by a Steering Committee of Oncocyte and Encore representatives that makes decisions with respect to the Clinical Trial, other than with respect to the Clinical Trial budget, will be resolved by a member designated by Encore. Prior to February 24, 2021, the aggregate Razor acquisition payments of $11.245 million incurred during September 2019 and a $4 million CMS milestone payment made by Oncocyte during June 2020 under the Development Agreement, were amortized over a 10-year useful life of DetermaRx™ and were reflected in Oncocyte’s pro rata earnings and losses of the equity method investment in Razor in the consolidated statements of operations. Beginning on February 24, 2021, Razor’s results are included with Oncocyte’s consolidated results, primarily consisting of outside research and development expenses incurred by Razor for the Clinical Trial. The Initial Closing equity method investment in Razor and the Additional Purchase Payment for the remaining interests in Razor are both considered an asset acquisition, rather than a business combination, because, among other factors, Razor had no workforce, no commercial product (Razor had granted all commercial rights to Oncocyte), no revenues, no distribution system and no facilities. Substantially all of the fair value of Razor’s assets at the Initial Closing and on February 24, 2021 was concentrated in Razor’s intangible asset, the DetermaRx™ patent and related know-how, thus satisfying the requirements of the practical screen test to be considered an asset acquisition in accordance with ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. Accordingly, no goodwill may be recognized in an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50. As Razor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oncocyte on February 24, 2021, the DTA associated with the previous equity method investment was reversed. There is no tax effect of this reversal as the DTA had been fully offset by a valuation allowance (see Note 12). However, upon payment of the Additional Purchase Payment, Oncocyte recorded an additional step-up to fair value for the Razor intangible asset under ASC 805-50 for financial reporting purposes but this “step-up” is not recognized for income tax purposes. As a result, the fair value adjustment of the Razor intangible asset on the acquisition date generated a DTL in accordance with ASC 740. This DTL is computed using the fair value of the intangible assets on the acquisition date multiplied by Oncocyte’s federal and state effective income tax rates, using the simultaneous equations method for asset acquisitions under the guidance provided in ASC 740-10-25-51, which requires that the DTL be recognized as part of the investment of the acquired asset instead of any immediate income tax expense or benefit arising from the recognition of the DTL. Furthermore, ASC 740 allows Oncocyte to treat acquired available deferred tax assets, such as Razor’s NOLs (subject to the annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code) as available DTAs to offset against the DTLs, as the DTLs are expected to reverse within the NOL carryforward period. Any excess DTAs over those DTLs would be assessed for a valuation allowance in accordance with ASC 740. On February 24, 2021, Oncocyte estimated and recorded a net DTL of $7.6 million after offsetting the acquired available NOLs with the intangible asset shown in the table below. See also Note 12 for a discussion related to the partial release of Oncocyte’s valuation allowance pertaining to the DTL generated above in accordance with ASC 740. On February 24, 2021, upon Oncocyte’s acquisition of the outstanding common stock of Razor, the Razor intangible asset balance recorded on the acquisition date and included in Intangible Assets was as follows (in thousands):
|  | As of February 24, 2021 |
Razor intangible asset recorded on the acquisition date: |  |  |  |
Equity method investment carrying value |  | $ | 13,147 |
Cash paid as Additional Purchase Payment for the Razor asset |  |  | 10,000 |
Oncocyte common stock issued (982,318 shares issued at market value) as Additional Purchase Payment |  |  | 5,756 |

Deferred tax liability generated from the Razor asset (Note 12) |  |  | 7,564 |
Other |  |  | 169 |
Total Razor investment asset balance as of February 24, 2021 (a) |  | $ | 33,284 |
| (a) | This balance will be amortized over the remaining useful life of the Razor asset, approximating 8.5 years, as of the February 24, 2021 acquisition date, with the amortization expense included in “Cost of revenues – amortization of acquired intangibles” on the consolidated statements of operations.
Under ASC 805-50, for asset acquisitions, the remaining Clinical Trial Milestone Payment will be recorded only if the consideration is both probable (milestone has been achieved) and estimable in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, and as of March 31, 2021, no contingent consideration payment was recorded as the Clinical Trial Milestone Payment was not deemed probable of achievement as of that date. Summarized standalone financial data for Razor from January 1, 2021 through February 23, 2021 The unaudited standalone results of operations for Razor prior to being consolidated with Oncocyte is summarized below (in thousands):

| (1) | The condensed standalone statement of operations of Razor is provided for informational purposes only. Razor’s results for the period from January 1, 2021 through February 23, 2021 are not included in Oncocyte’s consolidated results of operations because Razor was not consolidated with Oncocyte’s financial statements but had been accounted for under the equity method of accounting since the September 30, 2019 Initial Closing date, however, Oncocyte’s results included its pro rata losses from Razor. Beginning on February 24, 2021, Razor’s results are included with Oncocyte’s consolidated results, primarily consisting of outside research and development expenses incurred by Razor for the Clinical Trial discussed above.
