BUSINESS DESCRIPTION [Abstract] |
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION | PRECIPIO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Business Description. Precipio, Inc., and its subsidiary, (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Precipio”) is a cancer diagnostics company providing diagnostic products and services to the oncology market. We have built and continue to develop a platform designed to eradicate the problem of misdiagnosis by harnessing the intellect, expertise and technology developed within academic institutions and delivering quality diagnostic information to physicians and their patients worldwide. We operate a cancer diagnostic laboratory located in New Haven, Connecticut and have partnered with the Yale School of Medicine to capture the expertise, experience and technologies developed within academia so that we can provide a better standard of cancer diagnostics and solve the growing problem of cancer misdiagnosis. We also operate a research and development facility in Omaha, Nebraska which will focus on further development of ICE-COLD-PCR (“ICP”), the patented technology which was exclusively licensed by us from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. (“Dana-Farber”) at Harvard University (“Harvard”). The research and development center will focus on the development of this technology, which we believe will enable us to commercialize other technologies developed by our current and future academic partners. Our platform connects patients, physicians and diagnostic experts residing within academic institutions. Launched in 2018, the platform facilitates the following relationships:
| · |  | Patients: patients may search for physicians in their area and consult directly with academic experts that are on the platform. Patients may also have access to new academic discoveries as they become commercially available.
| · |  | Physicians: physicians can connect with academic experts to seek consultations on behalf of their patients and may also provide consultations for patients in their area seeking medical expertise in that physician’s relevant specialty. Physicians will also have access to new diagnostic solutions to help improve diagnostic accuracy.
| · |  | Academic Experts: academic experts on the platform can make themselves available for patients or physicians seeking access to their expertise. Additionally, these experts have a platform available to commercialize their research discoveries.
Going Concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable for a going concern, which assume that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and has used cash in its operating activities for the past several years. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a net loss of $1.7 million, negative working capital of $8.5 million and net cash used in operating activities of $1.9 million. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements in the Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q is dependent upon a combination of achieving its business plan, including generating additional revenue, and raising additional financing to meet its debt obligations and paying liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. To meet its current and future obligations the Company has taken the following steps to capitalize the business and successfully achieve its business plan:
| · |  | The Company has entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park (the “LP Purchase Agreement” or “Equity Line”), pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of common stock of the Company (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the term of the LP Purchase Agreement. The extent we rely on Lincoln Park as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including, the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. As of April 30, 2019, we have already received approximately $1.4 million from the sale of 328,590 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park during 2018, $1.7 million from the sale of 758,076 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $0.7 million from the sale of 240,000 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park during April 2019.
| · |  | On April 16, 2019, the Company entered into a second amendment and restatement agreement amending and restating the terms of the 2018 Note Agreement (as first amended pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement dated November 29, 2018) (the "Amendment No.2 Agreement"). Amendment No. 2 Agreement provided for the issuance of up to approximately $989,011 of additional notes together with applicable warrants (the “April 2019 Additional Notes and Warrants”) on substantially the same terms and conditions as the notes and warrants that were issued in connection with the original amendment and restatement. T he closing of the April 2019 Additional Notes provided the Company with approximately $900,000 of gross proceeds for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of approximately $989,011.
| · |  | On May 14 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “May 2019 Note Agreement”) with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company would issue up to approximately $1,098,901 in Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes along with warrants (the “May 2019 Transaction”). The closing of the May 2019 Transaction provided the Company with proceeds of $1,000,000 for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of $1,098,901.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned circumstances, there remains substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements in the Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully achieve its initiatives summarized above in order to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the Form 10‑Q. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern as a result of the outcome of this uncertainty. Nasdaq Compliance On March 26, 2019, we were notified by the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that we did not meet the minimum closing bid price requirement of $1 for continued listing, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”). On April 25, 2019 we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware, pursuant to which we effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our issued and outstanding common stock. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on April 26, 201 9, and our common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the market open on April 29, 2019. On May 15, 2019, we received notification from Nasdaq that the Company’s stock price was in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, and that the matter is now closed.
