Current providers misdiagnose up to 44% of patients* MARKET OVERVIEW Increasingly complex disease states are met with eroding specialization rather than increased expertise Economic pressures drive towards generalization Shortage of pathologists Industry competes on price & TAT; Quality/accuracy are not a key, measured factor ~2% ALL HEALTHCARE DECISIONS ~70 % DIAGNOSTIC INDUSTRY COSTS BUT IMPACTS

Misdiagnosis has massive downstream consequences MARKET OVERVIEW Estimated cost of misdiagnosis (and other inefficiencies) to the US healthcare system $750B ANNUALLY PHYSICIANS Physicians administer incorrect treatments, creating adverse effects rather than improving outcomes PAYERS Payers waste of valuable treatment dollars applied incorrectly and incur massive downstream costs PATIENTS Patients pay the ultimate price: increased morbidity and mortality

THE SOLUTION A Platform to achieve superior accuracy through academic expertise PATIENTS Become part of a network providing higher quality services Engage and take a role in their healthcare decisions PHYSICIANS Access to unparalleled expertise Increase their success in caring for patients Financially benefit by reducing patient care costs Precipio is addressing the issue with an innovative, robust, scalable platform connecting all players: Physicians and their patients gain access to world-class academic experts & technologies Payers benefit from quality-based outcomes to their patients and achieve cost savings Academic institutions build a new revenue stream; access to diverse specimens for research Establishes a barrier to entry for competitors by creating an interactive platform serving all constituents Patients Physicians Academia Payers PLATFORM

Academic institutions possess underutilized expertise & technology THE OPPORTUNITY VOLUME OF TESTS OUTSOURCED R&D Academic institutions invest heavily in the development of new technologies. Through its platform, Precipio gains access to technology that has been significantly de-risked Precipio’s platform provides academia readily-available access to market Precipio capitalizes on the intellectual expertise & technologies developed within academic institutions: COMMERCIAL LABS Academia Academia: >99% Accuracy** ACCURACY LEVEL

Service Model Academic IP Model BUSINESS MODEL The first company to combine a Service & Academic IP model Proven market with demonstrated value proposition Stable, gradual growth & scalability High margin business Precipio’s model: Incorporate additional services into model, leveraging existing platform and network of providers Access to market provides synergies in cross-selling Generates cash to fund technology development Financial outlook: Reasonable industry multiples (range 5-8x) Early-stage development of technology typically entails development, market, and significant capital risk Precipio’s model: Capitalizing on technologies already developed and validated in academic institutions Reducing capital risk (self-funded by academia) Development risk mitigated (product closer to market-readiness) Financial outlook: Provide alpha to investors through lower-risk IP model Service + Academic IP model = reduced risk and higher return / valuation / multiple

Liquid biopsies have the potential to revolutionize patient care LIQUID BIOPSIES LIQUID BIOPSY SOLUTIONS Enable non-invasive diagnostics using liquid samples Personalize treatments based on current genetic profiles Ongoing monitoring is easily implemented on all platforms Increased sensitivity, accuracy and accessibility of tests CURRENT CHALLENGES OF TISSUE BIOPSIES Tissue biopsies are invasive, costly; are done only ONCE, at initial diagnosis Certain tumors cannot be biopsied due to location, or due to patient physical situation Cancer often mutates; treatment is based on tumor-based genetic information that can become outdated after treatment No viable way to obtain updated genetic information.

LIQUID BIOPSY FIELD The application of liquid biopsies in cancer diagnostics can be categorized into three areas: Significant, growing, revolutionary field Liquid Biopsy Applications Application Diagnostic screening Treatment resistance Disease recurrence Clinical need Identify tumor genetic profile for treatment & prognosis Ongoing monitoring – tracking patient therapy impact Ongoing monitoring – tracking patients in remission Frequency One-time, patient onset Repetitive during treatment Repetitive post-treatment Alternatives to liquid biopsy Tumor biopsy (typically used) None None Panel type Broad-net search or targeted panels Specific targeted mutation panels Specific targeted mutation panels Economics Price insensitive (one time testing) Must be economically feasible to enable repeat testing

ICP BUSINESS MODEL Specimens prepared for analysis ICP added to front end process Genetic mutations detected Enriched DNA increases sensitivity Clinical action taken Revenue model: Product: Application-specific kits (monitoring/resistance/recurrence) with uniquely designed ICP chemical Kits sold to laboratories to be run in-house, at a price of ~$250 per patient test Gross margins of ~70% Monitoring inherently requires repeat testing to generate patient trend à recurring revenue ICP is a patented, proprietary reagent added to any genetic platform
