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

7

Table of Contents

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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with GAAP. As required under GAAP, pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, unless otherwise indicated, the Company has adjusted all share amounts, per share data, share prices, exercise prices and conversion rates set forth in these notes and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from our audited balance sheet as of that date. There has been no change in the balance sheet from December 31, 2018, except for the retroactive adjustment to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases-Topic 842. The new standard amends the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases and amends disclosure requirements associated with leasing arrangements. The new standard was adopted effective January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition, and thus did not adjust comparative periods. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient. As a result of the adoption of Topic 842 the Company has recognized approximately $0.7 million of lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets in its condensed consolidated balance sheet on the date of initial application. See Note 7 – Leases for additional information.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”, which modifies certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820, such as the removal of the need to disclose the amount of and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and several changes related to Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)”, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal use software. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Loss Per Share.

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants or conversion rights that have exercise or conversion prices below the market value of our common stock. Options, warrants and conversion rights pertaining to 3,100,043 and 633,766 shares of our common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, because the effect is anti-dilutive due to the net loss.

Convertible Bridge Notes.

On April 20, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2018 Note Agreement”) with certain investors (the “April 2018 Investors”), pursuant to which the Company would issue up to approximately $3,296,703 in Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes along with warrants (the “Transaction”). The number of warrants are equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes based on the conversion price at the time of issuance. Half of the warrants will have a one-year term and half will have a five-year term. The 2018 Note Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions.

The Transaction consists of a series of unregistered Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Bridge Notes”), bearing interest at a rate of 8% annually and an original issue discount of 9%. The Bridge Notes are convertible at a price of $7.50 per share, provided that if the notes are not repaid within 180 days of the note’s issuance date, the conversion price shall be adjusted to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price during the prior 10 days, subject to a minimum conversion price of $4.50 per share.

The Transaction consisted of a number of drawdowns. The initial closing on April 20, 2018 provided the Company with proceeds of $1,660,000, net of an original issue discount of 9% and before debt issuance costs, for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of $1,824,176 (the “April 2018 Bridge Notes”). The Company completed three additional drawdowns for aggregate proceeds of $1.3 million, net of an original issue discount of 9% and before debt issuance cost, for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of $1.5 million (the “Q3 2018 Bridge Notes”).

The Bridge Notes are payable by the Company on the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary after each closing date or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering, namely the Company raising gross proceeds of at least $7,000,000 (the “Maturity Date”). At any time, provided that the Company gives 5 business days written notice, the Company has the right to redeem the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Notes, including accrued but unpaid interest, all liquidated damages and all other amounts due under the Bridge Notes, for cash as follows: (i) an amount which is equal to the sum of 105% if the Company exercises its right to redeem the Bridge Notes within 90 days of the initial closing, (ii) 110% if the Company exercises its right to redeem the Bridge Notes within 180 days of the initial closing, or (iii) 115% if the Company exercises its right to redeem 180 days from the initial closing.

Table of Contents

The terms of the 2018 Note Agreement also stipulates that upon written demand by one of the April 2018 Investors, for any of their draws throughout the year associated with the 2018 Note Agreement after a period of time as defined within the 2018 Note Agreement, the Company shall file a registration statement within thirty (30) days after written demand covering the resale of all or such portion of the conversion shares for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The registration statement filed shall be on Form S‑3 or Form S‑1, at the option of the Company. If the Company does not file a registration statement in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Note Agreement, then on the business day following the applicable filing date and on each monthly anniversary of the business day following the applicable filing date (if no registration statement shall have been filed by the Company in accordance herewith by such date), the Company shall pay to the April 2018 Investors an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages, equal to 1% per month (pro-rata for partial months) based upon the gross purchase price of the Bridge Notes (calculated on a daily basis) under the 2018 Note Agreement. As requested by certain April 2018 investors, conversion shares related to the April 2018 Note Agreement were included in a registration statement on Form S-3 that the Company filed with the SEC on February 6, 2019 and which became effective with the SEC on February 13, 2019.

The obligations under the Bridge Notes are secured, subject to certain exceptions and other permitted payments by a perfected security interest on the assets of the Company.

The 9% discount associated with the April 2018 Bridge Notes was approximately $164,000 and was recorded as a debt discount. The Company also incurred legal and advisory fees associated with the April 2018 Bridge Notes of approximately $164,000 and these were recorded as debt issuance costs. The 9% discount associated with the Q3 2018 Bridge Notes was approximately $133,000 and was recorded as a debt discount.

As part of the initial closing, the April 2018 Investors received 243,223 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the “April 2018 Warrants”). The April 2018 Warrants had an initial value of approximately $1.1 million at the date of issuance and were recorded as a liability with an offset to debt discount. The April 2018 Investors received 196,337 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company in connection with the Q3 Bridge Note issuances (the “Q3 2018 Warrants”). The terms of the Q3 2018 Warrants are the same as the April 2018 Warrants and, as such, were classified as liabilities, with an offset to debt discount, and had an initial value of approximately $0.7 million at the date of issuance. See Note 9 –Fair Value for further discussion.

On September 20, 2018, immediately after the final drawdown of the Bridge Notes, the Company entered into an agreement with the April 2018 Investors whereby the exercise price of all warrants issued to the April 2018 Investors in connection with both the 2018 Note Agreement and the Q3 2018 Bridge Notes were amended from $11.25 to $7.50. This repricing was accounted for as a modification.

Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of April 20, 2018 (the “Letter Agreement”), the Company engaged a registered broker dealer as a financial advisor (the “Financial Advisor”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company paid the Financial Advisor a fee of $116,000, approximately 7% of the proceeds from the sale of the April 2018 Bridge Notes. This is included in the debt issuance costs discussed above. Per the Letter Agreement, the Company also issued to the Financial Advisor 15,466 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $11.25 (the “Advisor Warrants”) which were classified as a liability. See Note 9 –Fair Value for further discussion.

The April 2018 Bridge Notes contained a beneficial conversion feature valued at $1.1 million which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to additional paid in capital at the note issuance date and the Q3 2018 Bridge Notes contained beneficial conversion features valued at approximately $0.5 million which were recorded as debt discounts with an offset to additional paid in capital at the note issuance dates.

The Company reviewed the redemption features of the Bridge Notes and determined that there is a redemption feature (the “Bridge Notes Redemption Feature”) that qualifies as an embedded derivative. For the April 2018 Bridge Notes, the Company determined the initial fair value of the derivative at the time of issuance to be approximately $0.1 million which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to derivative liability. For the Q3 2018 Bridge Notes, the Company determined the initial fair value of the derivatives at the time of issuance to be less than $0.1 million which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to derivative liability. See Note 9 –Fair Value for further discussion.

On November 29, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) amending and restating the terms of the 2018 Note Agreement. The Amendment Agreement provided for the issuance of up to $1,318,681 of additional Bridge Notes together with applicable warrants, in one or more tranches, with substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued Bridge Notes and related warrants. The conversion price of the notes was amended so that it shall be equal to the greater of $3.75 or $0.75 above the closing bid price of our common stock on the date prior to the original issue date. In the event the notes are not paid in full prior to 180 days after the original issue date, the conversion price shall be equal to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) in the 10 trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion, but in no event below the floor price of $2.25.

In connection with the Amendment Agreement, during the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company completed two additional closings for aggregate proceeds of $1.1 million, net of an original issue discount of 9% and before debt issuance costs, for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of $1.2 million (collectively, the “Q4 2018 Bridge Notes”). Approximately $0.3 million of the $1.1 million of proceeds was received after December 31, 2018 and is included in other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018. The 9% discount associated with the Q4 2018 Bridge Notes was approximately $108,000 and was recorded as a debt discount. In connection with the Q4 2018 Bridge Note issuances, the Company issued to the investors 300,114 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the “Q4 2018 Warrants”), which had an initial value of approximately $0.7 million at the date of issuance and were recorded as a liability with an offset to debt discount. See Note 9 – Fair Value for further discussion.

The Company reviewed the conversion option of the Q4 2018 Bridge Notes and determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature with a value of approximately $0.5 million which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to additional paid in capital. The Q4 2018 Bridge Notes also contain the Bridge Notes Redemption Feature which had an initial fair value at the time of issuance of approximately $15,000 which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to derivative liability. See Note 9 – Fair Value for further discussion.

The total debt discounts and debt issuance costs related to the Q4 2018 Bridge Notes totaled $1.4 million, of which the Company recorded $1.1 million of debt discount and debt issuance costs as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

At the time of the Amendment Agreement, the conversion price related to $3.3 million of previously issued Bridge Notes, the April 2018 Bridge Notes and Q3 2018 Bridge Notes, was amended and treated as an extinguishment of the related Bridge Notes. The Company removed the carrying value of the notes and recorded a new fair value of the notes (“New Debt”) which included a debt premium of $0.9 million at the time of the Amendment Agreement.

Since the issuance of the New Debt, $2.3 million of the total $4.5 million of Bridge Notes, plus interest, have been converted into a total of 1,112,762 shares of common stock of the Company. This included the conversion of approximately $2.1 million of Bridge Notes, plus interest, converted into 1,019,430 shares of common stock of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $0.2 million of Bridge Notes, plus interest, converted into 93,333 shares of common stock of the Company during the fourth quarter of 2018.

As of the date of the Crede Agreement, the fair value of the common stock warrant liability related to Crede was revalued to approximately $0.4 million, resulting in a gain of $0.2 million included in warrant revaluation in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018. At the time of the Crede Agreement, the Company recorded $1.5 million in other current liabilities and $0.4 million in other long-term liabilities, thus replacing its previous $1.1 million in other current liabilities and $0.4 million common stock warrant liability. This resulted in the Company recording an additional loss of $0.4 million, which is included in loss on settlement of equity instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018. During 2018, the Company paid approximately $0.5 million to Crede. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had recorded liabilities relating to Crede of $1.45 million in other current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and, o n January 15, 2019 the $1.45 million liability was replaced with the Crede Note.

Upon payment in full of the $0.6 million and compliance with the payment schedule, the service provider has agreed to waive the difference between the settlement amount and the Owed Amount and at that time the Company would record a gain on settlement of approximately $0.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company made payments of $0.2 million to the service provider. A liability of approximately $1.3 million and $1.5 million has been recorded and is reflected in accounts payable within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirement, reimbursement for patient services and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers.

Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government healthcare programs together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with fraud and abuse regulations, as well as other applicable government laws and regulations. While no material regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

7. LEASES

On January 1, 2019, the Company recorded initial ROU assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $750,000 and a reversal of deferred rent and prepaid expenses of approximately $6,000 resulting in no cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption of Topic 842. The Company leases administrative facilities and laboratory equipment through operating lease agreements. In addition we rent various equipment used in our diagnostic lab and in our administrative offices through finance lease arrangements. Our operating leases include both lease (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common area or other maintenance costs). The facility leases include one or more options to renew, from 1 to 5 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion, therefore, the renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our ROU assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. We regularly evaluate the renewal options and, when they are reasonably certain of exercise, we include the renewal period in our lease term. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.

Operating leases result in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with

an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The primary leases we enter into with initial terms of 12 months or less are for equipment.

Upon the adoption of Topic 842, our accounting for finance leases, previously referred to as capital leases, remains substantially unchanged from prior guidance.

The balance sheet presentation of our operating and finance leases is as follows:

Aside from 4,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with conversions of its Series C Preferred Stock, all of the shares of common stock issued for the three months ended March 31, 2018 in connection with conversions of its Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock (together the “Preferred Stock”) were issued after the Company induced the holders of its Preferred Stock to convert their shares of Preferred Stock to shares of the company’s common stock (see below - Preferred Stock induced conversions).

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of 20,000 warrants. The warrant exercises resulted in net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued 1,248,115 shares of its common stock in connection with the conversion of convertible notes. See Note 4 – Convertible Notes.

2018 Purchase Agreement

On February 8, 2018 the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “2018 Purchase Agreement”) with Leviston for the purchase of up to $8,000,000 (the “Aggregate Amount”) of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock from time to time, at the Company’s option. Shares offered and sold prior to February 13, 2018 were issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S‑3 (and the related prospectus) that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and which was declared effective by the SEC on February 13, 2015 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”).

Leviston purchased 48,076 shares (the “Investor Shares”) of the Company’s common stock following the close of business on February 9, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions, at a price per share of $15.60 for approximately $750,000. The shares were sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company incurred approximately $132,000 in costs which have been treated as issuance costs within additional paid-in capital in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

20

Table of Contents

As required by the terms of the 2018 Purchase Agreement, the Company timely filed an S-1 on April 16, 2018. The S-1 Registration Statement was not declared effective by the SEC and on August 10, 2018 the Company filed a withdrawal request with the SEC. No securities had been issued or sold under this Registration Statement. The Company determined not to proceed with the offering as the Company sought to re-negotiate the terms of the equity purchase agreement in order to comply with the requirements of the SEC pursuant to a letter from the SEC dated August 7, 2018.

In consideration of Leviston’s agreement to enter into the 2018 Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to Leviston a commitment fee in shares of the Company’s common stock equal in value to 5.25% of the total Aggregate Amount (the “Leviston Commitment Shares”), payable in three installments upon achieving certain milestones. The first installment of 1.75% was due on or before February 12, 2018 and this amount, of $140,000, was paid to Leviston through the issuance of 11,380 shares of the Company’s common stock on February 12, 2018.

In accordance with the terms of the 2018 Purchase Agreement, the Company provided Leviston with a price protection provision, if the Company issues any warrants in connection with issuances, sales or an agreement in writing to issue common stock or common stock equivalents by the Company, Leviston will have the right to receive a proportionate amount of such warrants, cash or shares, at Leviston’s sole election, valued using the Black Scholes formula. As a result of 2018 Note Agreement and the April 2018 Warrants issued, the Company was required to provide Leviston with a proportionate and equivalent coverage in the form of warrants, stock or cash in the amount of approximately $460,000. As Leviston has the ability to elect the form of compensation, the Company has recorded the $460,000 as a liability as of December 31, 2018, within the other current liabilities line of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a total of $0.7 million in accruals (see Note 5 – Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities) for potential obligations to Leviston, but had not issued any additional shares or made any payments to Leviston. On January 29, 2019, the Company entered into the Leviston Settlement pursuant to which the Company issued to Leviston the Leviston Note in full satisfaction of all obligations owed to Leviston. See Note 4 – Convertible Notes for further details of the Note.

LP Purchase Agreement

On September 7, 2018, the Company entered into the LP Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of $10,000,000 of common stock of the Company (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the term of the LP Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the LP Purchase Agreement, on the agreement date, the Company issued 40,000 shares of its common stock to Lincoln Park as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of common stock of the Company under the LP Purchase Agreement (the “LP Commitment Shares”). Also on September 7, 2018, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park (the “LP Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which on September 14, 2018, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, 466,666 shares of common stock, which includes the LP Commitment Shares, that have been or may be issued to Lincoln Park under the LP Purchase Agreement. The Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC on September 28, 2018. As of January 16, 2019, all shares registered under this S-1 had been sold and/or issued to Lincoln Park. On February 1, 2019, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock that have been or may be issued to Lincoln Park under the LP Purchase Agreement. The Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC on February 12, 2019.

Under the LP Purchase Agreement, the Company may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, on any single business day on which the closing price of its common stock is not less than $1.50 per share (subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the LP Purchase Agreement), direct Lincoln Park to purchase shares of its common stock in amounts up to 30,000 shares, which amounts may be increased to up to 36,666 shares depending on the market price of its common stock at the time of sale and subject to a maximum commitment by Lincoln Park of $1,000,000 per single purchase, which the Company refers to as “regular purchases”, plus other “accelerated amounts” and/or “additional accelerated amounts” under certain circumstances. The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of its common stock to Lincoln Park.

21

Table of Contents

The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to Lincoln Park in regular purchases under the LP Purchase Agreement will be based on the market price of the common stock of the Company preceding the time of sale as computed under the LP Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the business days used to compute such price. The Company may at any time in its sole discretion terminate the LP Purchase Agreement without fee, penalty or cost upon one business day notice. There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the LP Purchase Agreement or LP Registration Rights Agreement, other than a prohibition on the Company entering into certain types of transactions that are defined in the LP Purchase Agreement as “Variable Rate Transactions”. Lincoln Park may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

Under applicable rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market, in no event may the Company issue or sell to Lincoln Park under the LP Purchase Agreement more than 19.99% of the shares of its common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the LP Purchase Agreement (which is 308,590 shares based on 1,543,724 shares outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the LP Purchase Agreement), which limitation the Company refers to as the Exchange Cap, unless (i) the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of the Company’s common stock to Lincoln Park under the LP Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $7.05 (which represents the closing consolidated bid price of the Company’s common stock on September 7, 2018, plus an incremental amount to account for the issuance of the LP Commitment Shares to Lincoln Park), such that issuances and sales of the Company’s common stock to Lincoln Park under the LP Purchase Agreement would be exempt from the Exchange Cap limitation under applicable Nasdaq rules. In any event, the LP Purchase Agreement specifically provides that the Company may not issue or sell any shares of its common stock under the LP Purchase Agreement if such issuance or sale would breach any applicable Nasdaq rules.

The LP Purchase Agreement also prohibits the Company from directing Lincoln Park to purchase any shares of common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of the Company’s common stock then beneficially owned by Lincoln Park and its affiliates, would result in Lincoln Park and its affiliates having beneficial ownership, at any single point in time, of more than 4.99% of the then total outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder, which limitation the Company refers to as the Beneficial Ownership Cap as defined in the LP Agreement.

Between October 2, 2018 and December 31, 2018, 328,590 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold pursuant to the LP Purchase agreement for approximately $1.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, 758,076 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold pursuant to the LP Purchase agreement for approximately $1.7 million.

Preferred Stock.

The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, from time to time, with such designations, powers, preferences and rights and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions as may be provided in a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors.

Series B Preferred Stock.

On August 25, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) with the State of Delaware which designates 6,900 shares of our preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share and a par value of $0.01 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock includes a beneficial ownership blocker but has no dividend rights (except to the extent dividends are also paid on the common stock).

The 2018 Purchase Agreement triggered the down round feature of the Series B Preferred Stock and, as a result, the conversion price of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was automatically adjusted from the reduced $21.00 per share price, related to the 2017 Series C issuance, to $15.60 per share. In connection with the down round

22

Table of Contents

adjustment, the Company calculated an incremental beneficial conversion feature of approximately $1.4 million which was recognized as a deemed dividend during the three months ended March 31, 2018 (“Deemed Dividend A”).

The 2018 Inducement Agreement, discussed below, triggered the down round feature of the Series B Preferred Stock and, as a result, the conversion price of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was automatically adjusted from $15.60 per share to $11.25 per share. In connection with the down round adjustment, the Company calculated an incremental beneficial conversion feature of approximately $40,000 which was recognized as a deemed dividend during the three months ended March 31, 2018 (“Deemed Dividend B”).

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, 2,340 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 208,000 shares of our common stock.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had 6,900 shares of Series B designated and issued and 47 shares of Series B outstanding.

Series C Preferred Stock

On November 6, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) with the State of Delaware which designates 2,748 shares of our preferred stock as Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share and a par value of $0.01 per share.

The conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock contains a down round feature. The 2018 Purchase Agreement triggered the down round feature of the Series C Preferred Stock and, as a result, the conversion price of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was automatically adjusted from $21.00 per share to $15.60 per share. In connection with the down round adjustment, the Company calculated an incremental beneficial conversion feature of approximately $0.8 million which was recognized as a deemed dividend during the three months ended March 31, 2018 (“Deemed Dividend C”).

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, 2,548 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted into 223,022 shares of our common stock.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had 2,748 shares of Series C designated and issued and zero shares of Series C outstanding.

Preferred Stock induced conversions

On March 21, 2018, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “2018 Inducement Agreement”) with certain holders of shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock (together the “Preferred Stock”), and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the Company’s public offering in August 2017 and registered direct offering in November 2017. Pursuant to the 2018 Inducement Agreement, the Company and the investors agreed that, as a result of the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to that Purchase Agreement, dated February 8, 2018, by and between the Company and the investor named therein, and effective as of the time of execution of the 2018 Inducement Agreement, the exercise price of the Warrants was reduced to $11.25 per share (the “Exercise Price Reduction”) and the conversion price of the Preferred Stock was reduced to $11.25 (the “Conversion Price Reduction”). As consideration for the Company’s agreement to the Exercise Price Reduction and the Conversion Price Reduction, (i) each investor agreed to convert the shares of Preferred Stock held by such investor into shares of Common Stock and (ii) one investor agreed to exercise 44,444 Warrants and another investor agreed to exercise 33,333 Warrants all as of the date of the 2018 Inducement Agreement. As discussed above, as of March 31, 2019, all shares of Preferred Stock, except 47 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, were converted to shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Inducement Agreement and 20,000 Warrants were exercised at the $11.25 exercise price.

The 2018 Inducement Agreement represented an inducement by the Company to convert shares of the Preferred Stock. The conversion price of the Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Warrants were reduced from $15.60 per

23

Table of Contents

share to $11.25 per share, respectively. The Company calculated the fair value of the additional securities and consideration to be approximately $1.2 million (“Deemed Dividend D”). During the three months ended March 31, 2018, this amount was recorded as a charge to additional paid-in-capital and as a deemed dividend resulting in a reduction of income available to common shareholders in our basic earnings per share calculation.

August 2017 Offering Warrants

In connection with the August 2017 Offering, the Company issued 178,666 warrants at an exercise price of $45.00, which contain a down round provision. The August 2017 Offering Warrants were exercisable immediately and expire 5 years from date of issuance.

As a result of the Series C Preferred Offering, the exercise price of the August 2017 Offering Warrants was adjusted to $21.00 per share.

In February 2018, as a result of 2018 Purchase Agreement, the exercise price of the August 2017 Offering Warrants was adjusted to $15.60. At the time the exercise price was adjusted, the Company calculated the fair value of the down round provisions on the warrants to be approximately $62,000 and recorded this as a deemed dividend (“Deemed Dividend E”). In addition, as a result of the 2018 Inducement Agreement, the exercise price of the August 2017 Offering Warrants was further adjusted to $11.25 as a result of the Exercise Price Reduction discussed above.

There were zero and 20,000 August 2017 Offering Warrants exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for proceeds to the Company of zero and $225,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the intrinsic value of the August 2017 Offering Warrants exercised was zero.

Note Conversion Warrants

Upon the closing of the August 2017 Offering, the Company issued 23,999 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock (the “Note Conversion Warrants”). The Note Conversion Warrants have an exercise price of $45.00 per share and contain a down round provision. As a result of the Series C Preferred Offering, the exercise price of the Note Conversion Warrants was adjusted to $21.00 per share.

In February 2018, as a result of 2018 Purchase Agreement, the exercise price of the Note Conversion Warrants was adjusted to $15.60.

Convertible Promissory Note Warrants

The Convertible Promissory Note Warrants had an original exercise price of $45.00 per share and contain a down round provision. As a result of the Series C Preferred Offering, the exercise price of the Convertible Promissory Note Warrants was adjusted to $21.00 per share.

In February 2018, as a result of 2018 Purchase Agreement, the exercise price of the Convertible Promissory Note Warrants was adjusted to $15.60. At the time the exercise price was adjusted, the Company calculated the fair value of the down round provision on the warrants to be less than $1,000 and recorded this as a deemed dividend (“Deemed Dividend H”). In addition, as a result of the 2018 Inducement Agreement, the exercise price of the Convertible Promissory Note Warrants was further adjusted to $11.25. At the time the exercise price was adjusted, the Company calculated the fair value of the down round provision on the warrants to be less than $1,000 and recorded this as a deemed dividend (“Deemed Dividend I”).

Series C Warrants

In connection with the Series C Preferred Offering, the Company issued 130,857 warrants at an exercise price of $24.45, which contain a down round provision. Series C Warrants are exercisable on the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance and expire 5 years from date they are initially exercisable. The terms of the Series C Warrants prohibit a holder from exercising its Series C Warrants if doing so would result in such holder (together with its affiliates) beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock after giving effect to such exercise, provided that, at the election of a holder and notice to the Company, such beneficial ownership limitation may be increased to 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock after giving effect to such exercise.

In February 2018, as a result of the 2018 Purchase Agreement, the exercise price of the Series C Warrants was adjusted to $15.60. At the time the exercise price was adjusted, the Company calculated the fair value of the down round provision on the warrants to be approximately $58,000 and recorded this as a deemed dividend (“Deemed Dividend J”). In addition, as a result of the 2018 Inducement Agreement, the exercise price of the Series C Warrants was further adjusted to $11.25 as a result of the Exercise Price Reduction discussed above.

Creditor Warrants

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company entered into Settlement Agreements with the Creditors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue, to certain of its Creditors, 7,207 Creditor Warrants to purchase 7,207 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $112.50 per share. The Creditor Warrants were issued in February 2018. See Note 4 – Convertible Notes.

Deemed Dividends

As discussed above, certain of our preferred stock and warrant issuances contain down round provisions which require us to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS.

9. FAIR VALUE

FASB guidance on fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements for our financial assets and liabilities, as well as for other assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

FASB guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price assets or liabilities. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions and best estimate of what inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Common Stock Warrant Liabilities.

Certain of our issued and outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock do not qualify to be treated as equity and, accordingly, are recorded as a liability. We are required to record these instruments at fair value at each reporting date and changes are recorded as a non-cash adjustment to earnings. The gains or losses included in earnings are reported in other income (expense) in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

2016 Warrant Liability

The Company assumed the 2016 Warrant Liability in the Merger and it represents the fair value of warrants issued in January 2016, of which, 357 warrants remain outstanding as of March 31, 2019.

27

Table of Contents

In March 2018, a portion of the 2016 Warrant Liability was part of a settlement agreement pursuant to a lawsuit that was filed against the Company by one of the warrant holders. As such, approximately $0.4 million of the warrant liability, representing 1,347 warrants, was canceled on the date of the settlement agreement and replaced by and amounts now recorded as other current liabilities or other long-term liabilities. For further detail, see discussion of the Crede Agreement in Note 5 – Accrued Expenses And Other Current Liabilities.

The 2016 Warrant Liability is considered a Level 3 financial instrument and was valued using the Monte Carlo methodology. As of March 31, 2019, assumptions and inputs used in the valuation of the 2016 Warrant Liability include: remaining life to maturity of 1.75 years; annual volatility of 142%; and a risk-free interest rate of 2.27%. As of December 31, 2018, assumptions and inputs used in the valuation of the 2016 Warrant Liability include: remaining life to maturity of two years; annual volatility of 176%; and a risk-free interest rate of 2.48%.

2018 Warrant Liabilities

During 2018, the Company issued 243,223 of April 2018 Warrants, 15,466 of Advisor Warrants, 196,337 of Q3 2018 Warrants and 300,114 of Q4 2018 Warrants. All of these warrants issuances were classified as warrant liabilities (the “2018 Warrant Liabilities”). See Note 4 - Convertible Notes for further discussion of each warrant.

The 2018 Warrant Liabilities are considered Level 3 financial instruments and were valued using the Black Scholes model. As of March 31, 2019, assumptions used in the valuation of the 2018 Warrant Liabilities include: remaining life to maturity of 0.05 to 4.76 years; annual volatility of 97% to 163%; and risk free rate of 2.21% to 2.44%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were comprised of the following:

Derivative Liabilities.

Certain of our issued and outstanding convertible notes contain features that are considered derivative instruments and are required to bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for separately as derivative liabilities. The estimated fair value of the derivatives will be remeasured at each reporting date and any change in estimated fair value of the derivatives will be recorded as non-cash adjustments to earnings. The gains or losses included in earnings are reported in other income (expense) in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Bridge Notes Redemption Feature

At the time of the Bridge Note issuances, the Company recorded derivative instruments as liabilities with an initial fair value of approximately $0.3 million. The valuations were performed using the “with and without” approach,

28

Table of Contents

whereby the Bridge Notes were valued both with the embedded derivative and without, and the difference in values was recorded as the derivative liability. See Note 4 - Convertible Notes for further discussion.

Conversion Option

The Company recorded derivative liabilities related to the Conversion Option of the Exchange Notes issued during 2018 with an initial fair value of approximately $0.4 million. The valuations were performed using the Monte Carlo methodology. See Note 4 - Convertible Notes for further discussion.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) was comprised of the following:

(Dollars in thousands) |  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

There were no derivative liabilities in the first quarter of 2018.

10. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company's 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan") was terminated as to future awards on July 12, 2016. The Company's 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan") was adopted by the Company's stockholders on June 5, 2017 and there were 44,444 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan will expire on June 5, 2027.

Amendment of the 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

On January 31, 2018, at a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, the stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2017 Plan to:

| · |  | increase the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by 359,300 shares to 403,744 shares;

| · |  | increase the maximum number of shares that may be granted in the form of stock options or stock appreciation rights to any one individual in any one calendar year and the maximum number of shares underlying any award intended to qualify as performance-based compensation to any one individual in any performance cycle, in each case to 66,666 shares of common stock; and

| · |  | add an “evergreen” provision, pursuant to which the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan will be automatically increased each year beginning on January 1, 2019 by 5% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Stock Options.

The Company accounts for all stock-based compensation payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options, at fair value and expenses the benefit in operating expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the service period of the awards. The Company records the expense for stock-based compensation awards subject to performance-based milestone vesting over the remaining service period when

29

Table of Contents

management determines that achievement of the milestone is probable. Management evaluates when the achievement of a performance-based milestone is probable based on the expected satisfaction of the performance conditions as of the reporting date. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires various assumptions including estimating stock price volatility, expected life of the stock option, risk free interest rate and estimated forfeiture rate.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted stock options to purchase up to 276,700 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.25. 100,000 of the stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were awards subject to performance-based milestone vesting and no expense was recorded for these options during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The following table summarizes stock option activity under our plans during the three months ended March 31, 2019:

|  | Number of |  | Weighted-Average
|  | Options |  | Exercise Price
Outstanding at January 1, 2019 |  | 224,895 |  | $ | 15.90
Granted |  | 276,700 |  |  | 2.25
Forfeited |  | (3,333) |  |  | 2.10
Outstanding at March 31, 2019 |  | 498,262 |  | $ | 8.40
Exercisable at March 31, 2019 |  | 74,836 |  | $ | 24.75

As of March 31, 2019, there were 392,398 options that were vested or expected to vest with an aggregate intrinsic value of zero and a remaining weighted average contractual life of 9.4 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were 219,101 options granted with a weighted average exercise price of $10.65 and 196 options forfeited with a weighted average exercise price of $1,653.45.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded compensation expense for all stock awards of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, within operating expense in the accompanying statements of operations. As of March 31, 2019, the unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock awards was $2.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

11. SALES SERVICE REVENUE, NET AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from contracts with customers”

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 606 for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers to transfer goods and services. The Company performed a comprehensive review of its existing revenue arrangements following the five-step model:

Step 1: Identification of the contract with the customer. Sub-steps include determining the customer in a contract; Initial contract identification and determine if multiple contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single transaction.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligation in the contract. Sub-steps include identifying the promised goods and services in the contract and identifying which performance obligations within the contract are distinct.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Sub-steps include variable consideration, constraining estimates of variable consideration, the existence of a significant financing component in the contract, noncash consideration and consideration payable to a customer.

Step 4: Allocate transaction price. Sub-steps include assessing the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer.

30

Table of Contents

Step 5: Satisfaction of performance obligations. Sub-steps include ascertaining the point in time when an asset is transferred to the customer and the customer obtains control of the asset upon which time the Company recognizes revenue.

Nature of Contracts and Customers

The Company’s contracts and related performance obligations are similar for its customers and the sales process for all customers starts upon the receipt of requisition forms from the customers for patient diagnostic testing and the execution of contracts for biomarker testing and clinical research. Payment terms for the services provided are 30 days, unless separately negotiated.

Diagnostic testing

Control of the laboratory testing services is transferred to the customer at a point in time. As such, the Company recognizes revenue for laboratory testing services at a point in time based on the delivery method (web-portal access or fax) for the patient’s laboratory report, per the contract.

Clinical research grants

Control of the clinical research services are transferred to the customer over time. The Company will recognize revenue utilizing the “effort based” method, measuring its progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Biomarker testing and clinical project services

Control of the biomarker testing and clinical project services are transferred to the customer over time. The Company utilizes an “effort based” method of assessing performance and measures progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation based upon the delivery of results.

The Company generates revenue from the provision of diagnostic testing provided to patients, biomarker testing provided to bio-pharma customers and clinical research grants funded by both bio-pharma customers and government health programs.

Disaggregation of Revenues by Transaction Type

We operate in one business segment and, therefore, the results of our operations are reported on a consolidated basis for purposes of segment reporting, consistent with internal management reporting. Service revenue, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (prior-period amounts are not adjusted under the modified-retrospective method of adoption):

|  | For the Three Months Ended March 31,

Service revenue, net |  | $ | 757 |  | $ | 303 |  | $ | 153 |  | $ | 488 |  | $ | 910 |  | $ | 791

Revenue from the Medicare and Medicaid programs account for a portion of the Company’s patient diagnostic service revenue. Laws and regulations governing those programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using the expected value method based on historical experience. The Company does not typically enter arrangements where multiple contracts can be combined as the terms regarding services are generally found within a single agreement/requisition form. The Company derives its revenues from three types of transactions: diagnostic testing, clinical research grants from state and federal research programs, and other revenues from the Company’s ICP technology and bio-pharma projects encompassing genetic diagnostics.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue, or unearned revenue, refers to advance payments for products or services that are to be delivered in the future. The Company records such prepayment of unearned revenue as a liability, as revenue that has not yet been earned, but represents products or services that are owed to a customer. As the product or service is delivered over time, the Company recognizes the appropriate amount of revenue from deferred revenue. For the period ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the deferred revenue was $35,000 and $49,000, respectively.

Contractual Allowances and Adjustments

We are reimbursed by payers for services we provide. Payments for services covered by payers average less than billed charges. We monitor revenue and receivables from payers and record an estimated contractual allowance for certain revenue and receivable balances as of the revenue recognition date to properly account for anticipated differences between amounts estimated in our billing system and amounts ultimately reimbursed by payers. Accordingly, the total revenue and receivables reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements are recorded at the amounts expected to be received from these payers. For service revenue, the contractual allowance is estimated based on several criteria, including unbilled claims, historical trends based on actual claims paid, current contract and reimbursement terms and changes in customer base and payer/product mix. The billing functions for the remaining portion of our revenue are contracted and fixed fees for specific services and are recorded without an allowance for contractual discounts. The following table presents our revenues initially recognized for each associated payer class during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

April 2019 Note Issuance.

On April 16, 2019, the Company entered into the Amendment No.2 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 provides for the issuance of up to approximately $989,011 of 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. The April 2019 Additional Notes and Warrants shall be purchased no later than May 31, 2019, and were subscribed for by investors that previously participated in the 2018 Note Agreement. Upon issuance of the April 2019 Additional Notes, the Company will calculate any debt issuance costs, including possible beneficial conversion features, and record them as a reduction of the debt in its condensed consolidated balance sheet, similar to the Bridge Notes that the Company issued during 2018 (see Note 7 – Convertible Notes).

The conversion price of the April 2019 Additional Notes shall be equal to the greater of $3.75 or $0.75 above the closing bid price of our common stock on the date prior to the original issue date. In the event the notes are not paid in full prior to 180 days after the original issue date, the conversion price shall be equal to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) in the 10 trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion, but in no event below the floor price of $2.25.

On April 16, 2019, the initial closing of 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. As part of the transaction, the investors also received 146,520 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company exercisable at a price of $5.40.

May 2019 Note Issuance.

The number of warrants is equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes based on the conversion price at the time of issuance. The warrants have a five year term.The May 2019

Table of Contents

Note Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions.

The Transaction consists of a series of unregistered Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “May 2019 Bridge Notes”), bearing interest at a rate of 8% annually and an original issue discount of 9%. The May 2019 Bridge Notes are convertible at a price of $7.12 per share, provided that (a) if the notes are not repaid within 180 days of the note’s issuance date or (b) upon a Registration Statement (as defined in the May 2019 Note Agreement) being declared effective, whichever occurs earlier, the conversion price shall be adjusted to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price during the prior 10 days, subject to a minimum conversion price of $2.25 per share.

The closing of the May 2019 Transaction provided the Company with proceeds of $1,000,000, net of an original issue discount of 9% and before debt issuance costs, for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of $1,098,901.

The May 2019 Bridge Notes are payable by the Company on the earlier of (i) April 16, 2020 or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering, namely the Company raising gross proceeds of at least $7,000,000 (the “Maturity Date”). At any time, provided that the Company gives 5 business days written notice, the Company has the right to redeem the outstanding principal amount of the May 2019 Bridge Notes, including accrued but unpaid interest, all liquidated damages and all other amounts due under the May 2019 Bridge Notes, for cash as follows: (i) an amount which is equal to the sum of 105% if the Company exercises its right to redeem the May 2019 Bridge Notes within 90 days of the initial closing, (ii) 110% if the Company exercises its right to redeem the May 2019 Bridge Notes within 180 days of the initial closing, or (iii) 115% if the Company exercises its right to redeem after 180 days from the initial closing.

The terms of the May 2019 Note Agreement also stipulate that upon written demand by one of the investors after August 22, 2019, the Company shall file a registration statement within thirty (30) days after written demand covering the resale of all or such portion of the conversion shares for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The registration statement filed shall be on Form S‑3 or Form S‑1, at the option of the Company. If the Company does not file a registration statement in accordance with the terms of the May 2019 Note Agreement, then on the business day following the applicable filing date and on each monthly anniversary of the business day following the applicable filing date (if no registration statement shall have been filed by the Company in accordance herewith by such date), the Company shall pay to the investors an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages, equal to 1% per month (pro-rata for partial months) based upon the gross purchase price of the May 2019 Bridge Notes (calculated on a daily basis) under the May 2019 Note Agreement.

The obligations under the May 2019 Bridge Notes are secured, subject to certain exceptions and other permitted payments by a perfected security interest on the assets of the Company.

The 9% discount associated with the May 2019 Bridge Notes was approximately $98,901 and was recorded as a debt discount.

As part of the closing of the May 2019 Note Agreement, the investors received 154,343 warrants to purchase 154,343 shares of common stock of the Company (the “May 2019 Warrants”), exercisable at $9.56.

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.

April 2019 Notes

On April 16, 2019, the Company entered into the second amendment an restatement (the “Amendment No.2 Agreement”) amending and restating the terms of the 2018 Note Agreement (as first amended pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement dated Nov 29, 2019) The Amendment No. 2 Agreement provides for the issuance of up to approximately $989,011 of April 2019 Additional Notes and Warrants on substantially the same terms and conditions as the notes and warrants as of the notes and warrants that were issued in connection with the original amendment and restatement. The April 2019 Additional Notes and Warrants shall be purchased no later than May 31, 2019, and were subscribed for by the investors that previously participated in the 2018 Note Agreement.

The conversion price of the April 2019 Additional Notes shall be equal to the greater of $3.75 or $0.75 above the closing bid price of our common stock on the date prior to the original issue date. In the event the notes are not paid in full prior to 180 days after the original issue date, the conversion price shall be equal to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) in the 10 trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion, but in no event below the floor price of $2.25.

On April 16, 2019, the initial closing of April 2019 Additional Notes provides the Company with approximately $900,000 of gross proceeds for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of approximately $989,011.

of 9% and before debt issuance costs. As part of the closing of the May 2019 Note Agreement, the investors received 154,343 warrants to purchase 154,343 shares of common stock of the Company, exercisable at $9.56.

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 this 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 the fourth quarter of 2018 and $2.4 million from the sale of 998,076 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park during 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 Nov 29, 2019) (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 as of the notes and warrants that were issued in connection with the 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 date of issuance of this 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. 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.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Net Sales. Net sales were as follows:

|  | Dollars in Thousands |
|  | Three Months Ended |  |  |
|  | March 31, |  | Change |
|  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | $ |  | % |

Net Sales |  |  | 713 |  |  | 712 |  |  | 1 |  | - | %

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were approximately $0.7 million, which is flat as compared to the same period in 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, patient diagnostic service revenue had an increase of $0.3 million as compared to the same period in 2018 due to an increase in cases processed. We processed 360 cases during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 140 cases during the same period in 2018, or a 157% increase in cases. The increase in volume is the result of increased sales personnel. This increase was offset by a decrease $0.3 million in contract diagnostic service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 2018 due to the fact that there were fewer contract projects being performed during the current year.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes material and supply costs for the patient tests performed and other direct costs (primarily personnel costs and rent) associated with the operations of our laboratory and the costs of projects related to clinical research grants (personnel costs and operating supplies). Cost of sales was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cost of sales in the current year period, as compared to prior year, included an increase in patient diagnostic costs and a decrease in contract diagnostic costs which are both in line with the changes in related revenues discussed above.

Gross Loss. Gross loss and gross margins were as follows:

|  | Dollars in Thousands |
|  | Three Months Ended |  |  |
|  | March 31, |  | Margin % |
|  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2018 |
Gross Profit |  | $ | 38 |  | $ | 24 |  | 5 | % | 3 | %

Gross margin was 5% of total net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 3% of total net sales for the same period in 2018. The gross profit was less than $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, professional fees, travel costs, facility costs and depreciation and amortization. Our operating expenses decreased by $0.4 million to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. This decrease is a result of a decrease in impairment of goodwill of $0.3 million and a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.4 million due to a decrease in legal and other professional fees. The decreases were partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in selling expenses due increased headcount and increased stock compensation costs of $0.1 million.

Other Income (Expense). Other income, net was $0.4 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and included income from warrant revaluations of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and income from gain on settlement of liabilities of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

The other income items were partially offset by the following expenses: interest expense, net was $23,000 and $8,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, other expense included $0.4 million of expense from a loss recorded on settlement of equity instruments.

These were partially offset by $0.1 million of payments on our debt and finance lease obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At each of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

No significant changes to contractual obligations and commitments occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements may involve the use of management judgments and estimates. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical as they are both important to the portrayal of our financial statements and require significant or complex judgments on the part of management. Our judgments and estimates are based on experience and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Further, we evaluate our judgments and estimates from time to time as circumstances change. Actual financial results based on judgments or estimates may vary under different assumptions or circumstances. O ur critical accounting policies are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and no evaluation of controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and concluded that there have not been any changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirement, reimbursement for patient services and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers.

Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government healthcare programs together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with fraud and abuse regulations, as well as other applicable government laws and regulations. While no material regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that may have a material effect on the operating results of our business and our financial condition. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We cannot be certain that we will achieve or sustain profitability.

We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to incur losses in the future. As of March 31, 2019, we 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. To date, we have experienced negative cash flow from development of our diagnostic technology, as well as from the costs associated with establishing a laboratory and building a sales force to market our products and services. We expect to incur substantial net losses for the foreseeable future to further develop and commercialize our diagnostic technology. We also expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase due to the additional costs associated with market development activities and expanding our staff to sell and support our products. Our ability to achieve or, if achieved, sustain profitability is based on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the market acceptance of our products, competitive product development and our market penetration and margins. We may never be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or, if achieved, sustain profitability.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with further development and commercialization of our diagnostic technology and any future tests, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if ever. We may never become profitable and you may never receive a return on an investment in our securities. An investor in our securities must carefully consider the substantial challenges, risks and uncertainties inherent in the development and commercialization of tests in the medical diagnostic industry. We may never successfully commercialize our diagnostic technology or any future tests, and our business may fail.

We will need to raise substantial additional capital to commercialize our diagnostic technology, and our failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or collaboration efforts or force us to restrict or cease operations.

As of March 31, 2019, our cash balance was $0.3 million and our working capital was approximately negative $8.5 million. Due to our recurring losses from operations and the expectation that we will continue to incur losses in the future, we will be required to raise additional capital to complete the development and commercialization of our current product candidates and to pay off our obligations. To date, to fund our operations and develop and commercialize our products, we have relied primarily on equity and debt financings. When we seek additional capital, we may seek to sell additional equity and/or debt securities or to obtain a credit facility, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, restrict or cease our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms.

If we cannot continue to satisfy Nasdaq listing maintenance requirements and other rules, our common stock may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities.

Although our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may be unable to continue to satisfy the listing maintenance requirements and rules. If we are unable to satisfy the Nasdaq Stock Market, or Nasdaq, criteria for maintaining our listing, our securities could be subject to delisting.

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.

Item 5. Other Information

Convertible Note Issuance

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 number of warrants is equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes based on the conversion price at the time of issuance. The warrants have a five-year term. The May 2019 Note Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions.

The Transaction consists of a series of unregistered Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “May 2019 Bridge Notes”), bearing interest at a rate of 8% annually and an original issue discount of 9%. The May 2019 Bridge Notes are convertible at a price of $7.12 per share, provided that (a) if the notes are not repaid within 180 days of the note’s issuance date or (b) upon a Registration Statement (as defined in the May 2019 Note Agreement) being declared effective, whichever occurs earlier, the conversion price shall be adjusted to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price during the prior 10 days, subject to a minimum conversion price of $2.25 per share.

The closing of the May 2019 Transaction provided the Company with proceeds of $1,000,000, net of an original issue discount of 9% and before debt issuance costs, for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of $1,098,901.

The May 2019 Bridge Notes are payable by the Company on the earlier of (i) April 16, 2020 or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering, namely the Company raising gross proceeds of at least $7,000,000 (the “Maturity Date”). At any time, provided that the Company gives 5 business days written notice, the Company has the right to redeem the outstanding principal amount of the May 2019 Bridge Notes, including accrued but unpaid interest, all liquidated damages and all other amounts due under the May 2019 Bridge Notes, for cash as follows: (i) an amount which is equal to the sum of 105% if the Company exercises its right to redeem the May 2019 Bridge Notes within 90 days of the initial closing, (ii) 110% if the Company exercises its right to redeem the May 2019 Bridge Notes within 180 days of the initial closing, or (iii) 115% if the Company exercises its right to redeem after 180 days from the initial closing.

The terms of the May 2019 Note Agreement also stipulates that upon written demand by one of the Investors after August 22, 2019, the Company shall file a registration statement within thirty (30) days after written demand covering the resale of all or such portion of the conversion shares for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The registration statement filed shall be on Form S‑3 or Form S‑1, at the option of the Company. If the Company does not file a registration statement in accordance with the terms of the May 2019 Note Agreement, then on the business day following the applicable filing date and on each monthly anniversary of the business day following the applicable filing date (if no registration statement shall have been filed by the Company in accordance herewith by such date), the Company shall pay to the Investors an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages, equal to 1% per month (pro-rata for partial months) based upon the gross purchase price of the May 2019 Bridge Notes (calculated on a daily basis) under the May 2019 Note Agreement.

Table of Contents

The obligations under the May 2019 Bridge Notes are secured, subject to certain exceptions and other permitted payments by a perfected security interest on the assets of the Company.

The 9% discount associated with the May 2019 Bridge Notes was approximately $98,901 and was recorded as a debt discount.

As part of the closing of the May 2019 Note Agreement, Investors received 154,343 warrants to purchase 154,343 shares of common stock of the Company (the “May 2019 Warrants”), exercisable at $9.56.

The Company relied on the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Rule 506 of Regulation D, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering, for purposes of the private placement.
