PRECIPIO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Business Description.

Precipio, Inc., and its subsidiaries, (collectively, “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Precipio”) is a cancer diagnostics and reagent technology company providing diagnostic products, reagents 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 technologies developed in collaboration with 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 various academic institutions to capture the expertise, experience and technologies developed within academia to provide a better standard of cancer diagnostics and aim to solve the growing problem of cancer misdiagnosis.

In support of our platform, we also operate a research and development facility in Omaha, Nebraska which focuses on the development of various technologies, among them our internally developed proprietary products IV-Cell and HemeScreen. To expand and accelerate our product offering capabilities to commercial laboratories, the Omaha facility was recently CLIA and CAP certified. Functioning side-by-side as a CLIA operating laboratory, the Omaha facility is designed to expand our proficiencies and know-how in transitioning R&D lab generated technology into a commercial laboratory environment.

Capitalizing on this strategy, during the end of the third quarter 2020, we transitioned our HemeScreen technology from the R&D facility to the commercial laboratory setting launching the HemeScreen Reagent Rental (HSRR) program. HSRR offers oncology practices and hospitals diagnostic reagent sets of the patent-pending HemeScreen technology at significantly lower costs, while reducing the test reporting time from seven (7) to ten (10) days down to one (1) day and improving patient care. HemeScreen tests various molecular markers required for the diagnosis of certain hematologic malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). The HSRR program provides a turn-key test offering together with an option to lease-to-own diagnostic testing equipment from the Company. In most practice settings, such hematologic cancer tests are referenced out as both the cost of equipment and the cost of the diagnostic reagents are prohibitive. By utilizing our HSRR program, the customer can generate in-house testing revenues through reagent purchase contracts and economical lease-to-own rates instead of sending out the same tests to large commercial reference laboratories. The HSRR customer also benefits from obtaining faster results, thus ultimately providing better patient care. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company began to recognize recurring revenues from its first few HSRR accounts.

During the fourth quarter of 2020 the Company announced it entered into an agreement with a South Korean company to market and distribute an FDA-authorized COVID-19 serology antibody test that has recently received EUA (Emergency Use Authorization). Distribution of the product will take place in the U.S. as well as in other markets worldwide. The EUA allows the Company to distribute to all Point of Care facilities and any healthcare provider that has a National Provider Identifier (“NPI”) number.

The Company also holds an exclusive license to patented ICE-COLD-PCR (“ICP”) technology from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc., or Dana-Farber, at Harvard University. We believe that such technology will provide additional services and products directed at improving diagnostic outcomes and providing physicians with options for targeted therapies.

Joint Venture.

In April 2020, the Company formed a joint venture with Poplar Healthcare PLLC (“Poplar”), which we refer to as the “Joint Venture”. The Joint Venture was formed by the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Precipio

Table of Contents

Oncometrix LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“POC”), which was entered into as of April 11, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and among POC, Poplar, and Precipio SPV Inc. (“Precipio SPV”), a newly formed subsidiary of the Company, together with such other persons who from time to time become party to the Limited Liability Company Agreement by executing a counterpart signature page in accordance with the terms hereof. POC was formed as a limited liability company on April 2, 2020 in accordance with the statutes and laws of the State of Delaware relating to limited liability companies. Precipio SPV was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 10, 2020 for the sole purpose of being a party to the Joint Venture.

​

Under the terms of the Joint Venture, Precipio SPV has a 49% ownership interest in the Joint Venture, with Poplar having a 51 % ownership. Pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, Poplar, at any time, has the right to require Precipio SPV to purchase all, but not less than all, of Poplar’s shares in the Joint Venture (the “Poplar Put Right”). The purchase price for Poplar’s shares shall be $1.00 per share, or fifty-one dollars, and Precipio SPV would, therefore, become the sole 100% owner of the Joint Venture at the time the Poplar Put Right became effective. The Company has determined that it holds a variable interest in the Joint Venture and is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity (“VIE”). See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion regarding consolidation of variable interest entities.

The business purpose of the Joint Venture is to facilitate and capitalize on the combined capabilities, resources and healthcare industry relationships of its members by partnering, promoting and providing oncology services to office based physicians, hospitals and medical centers. Operational services of the Joint Venture are performed entirely by its members and employees of its members. Precipio SPV’s responsibilities include product and account management services, selling & marketing, laboratory diagnostic services and general & administrative services. Precipio SPV is entitled to a management fee for the services it provides. This management fee is established through service agreements which were executed in conjunction with the formation of the Joint Venture. Poplar receives a similar fee for the billing services that it provides.

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, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $1.5 million, negative working capital of $0.3 million and net cash used in operating activities of $1.3 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 this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is dependent upon a combination of achieving its business plan, including generating additional revenue and avoiding potential business disruption due to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, 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:

| ● | On March 26, 2020, the Company entered into a second agreement (the “LP 2020 Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund LLC (“Lincoln Park”), 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 2020 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 the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, we have already received approximately $8.8 million from the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement from the sale of 4,980,000 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park from April 1, 2020 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, leaving the Company an additional $1.2 million to draw subsequent to the filing of this Quarterly Report. See Note 8 Stockholders’ Equity for further discussion on Lincoln Park agreements;

| ● | During 2020, the Company received $0.8 million in funds from the PPP Loan and on February 11, 2021, the Company filed its application for loan forgiveness which was granted effective March 24, 2021. See Note 3 Long-Term Debt.; and

| ● | On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Shares”), having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $22.0 million, to or through A.G.P., as sales agent (the “Sales Agreement”), from time to time, in an “at the market offering” (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Shares (the “ATM Offering”). The Company is limited in the number of shares it can sell in the ATM Offering due to the offering limitations currently applicable to the Company under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3 and the Company’s public float as of the applicable date of such sales, as well as the number of authorized and unissued shares available for issuance, in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement. The offer and sales of our shares of Common Stock to or through A.G.P., will be made pursuant to the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-237445), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13, 2020, for an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. From April 2, 2021 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, we have already received approximately $15.4 million in gross proceeds through the Sales Agreement from the sale of 4,501,000 shares of common stock, leaving the Company an additional $6.6 million available for future sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

​

Notwithstanding the aforementioned circumstances, there remains substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. 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 this Quarterly Report 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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with GAAP and, as of March 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2021. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for fiscal year 2021.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Precipio and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and the Joint Venture which is a VIE in which we are the primary beneficiary. Refer to the section titled “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” for further information related to our accounting for the Joint Venture. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications.

Certain prior period amounts of property and equipment, net and operating lease right-of-use assets have been reclassified to finance lease right-of-use assets to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net earnings or total assets. As of December 31, 2020, the amounts reclassified to finance lease right-of-use assets were $0.2 million of property and equipment, net and less than $0.1 million of operating lease right-of-use assets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which is intended to improve consistent application and simplify the accounting for income taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” This ASU amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those annual periods and early adoption is permitted in annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”), which replaces current methods for evaluating impairment of financial instruments not measured at fair value, including trade accounts receivable and certain debt securities, with a current expected credit loss model. Topic 326, as amended, is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its 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 2,381,497 and 5,859,395 shares of our common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, because the effect is anti-dilutive due to the net loss.

The following table summarizes the outstanding securities not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | March 31,
​ |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Stock options |  | 1,358,096 |  | 802,113

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

We evaluate any entity in which we are involved to determine if the entity is a VIE and if so, whether we hold a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. We consolidate VIEs that are subject to assessment when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The process for determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE is to conclude whether we are a party to the VIE holding a variable interest that meets both of the following criteria: (1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE.

​

We have determined that we hold a variable interest in the Joint Venture, have the power to make significant operational decisions on behalf of the VIE and also have the obligation to absorb the majority of the losses from the VIE. As such we have also determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The following table presents information about the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the Joint Venture which we consolidate and which are included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation and not reflected in the following table.

​

Department of Economic and Community Development.

On January 8, 2018, the Company received gross proceeds of $400,000 when it entered into an agreement with the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”) by which the Company received a grant of $100,000 and a loan of $300,000 secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets (the “DECD 2018 Loan”). The DECD 2018 Loan is a ten-year loan due on December 31, 2027 and includes interest paid monthly at 3.25%.

Due to the economic impact of COVID-19, DECD offered financial relief to all businesses with certain loans, including the Company’s DECD 2018 Loan. The relief includes the option to defer all payments from April 1, 2020 to August 1, 2020 and the deferred payments will be added to the end of the loan. The Company chose to defer its payments

12

Table of Contents

and the maturity date of the DECD 2018 Loan was extended to May 31, 2028. The payment deferral modification did not have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows.

Debt issuance costs associated with the DECD 2018 Loan were approximately $31,000. Amortization of the debt issuance costs were $1,000 and less than $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net debt issuance costs were approximately $21,000 and $22,000 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization for each of the next five years is expected to be approximately $3,000.

Financed Insurance Loan.

The Company finances certain of its insurance premiums (the “Financed Insurance Loans”). In July 2019, the Company financed $0.4 million with a 5.0% interest rate and made monthly payments through May of 2020. In July 2020, the Company financed less than $0.1 million with a 5.0% interest rate and will make monthly payments through May 2021. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Financed Insurance Loan’s outstanding balance of less than $0.1 million, respectively, was included in current maturities of long-term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. A corresponding prepaid asset was included in other current assets.

Settlement Agreement.

On September 21, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement and forbearance agreement with a creditor (the “September 2018 Settlement”) pursuant to which, the Company agreed to make monthly principal and interest payments to the creditor over a two year period, from November 1, 2018 to November 1, 2020, in full and final settlement of $0.1 million of indebtedness that was owed to the creditor on the date of the September 2018 Settlement. The settlement amount accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum and was paid in full during the fourth quarter of 2020 and, as such, the September 2018 Settlement outstanding balance was zero as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

​

Paycheck Protection Program.

​

On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) evidencing an unsecured $787,200 loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The Paycheck Protection Program (or “PPP”) was established under the recently congressionally-approved Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The PPP Loan to the Company was made through Webster Bank, N.A.

Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP Loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payroll costs and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels.

​

As of December 31, 2020, using the eight-week forgiveness period, the Company had incurred approximately $0.8 million in payroll, payroll related costs and other anticipated qualifying expenses with $0.6 million the PPP Loan’s outstanding balance included in current maturities of long-term debt and $0.2 million included in long-term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

​

On February 11, 2021, the Company filed its application for loan forgiveness with Webster Bank and was subsequently notified by Webster Bank that effective March 24, 2021 the PPP Loan, plus accrued interest, was considered fully forgiven. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on forgiveness of debt of $0.8 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

4. CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Convertible Bridge Notes.

On April 20, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2018 Note Agreement”) with certain investors, as amended on November 29, 2018 (the “Amendment Agreement”) and amended on April 16, 2019 (“Amendment No.2 Agreement”). The Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement on May 14, 2019. In connection with these securities purchase agreements, the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Bridge Notes”) along with warrants during 2018 and 2019.

On March 26, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment agreement (the “March 2020 Amendment”) amending the terms of that certain Amendment No. 2 Agreement dated April 16, 2019 and the securities purchase agreement dated May 14, 2019. As a result of the March 2020 Amendment, (i) the maturity date of the Bridge Notes issued in April 2019 (the “April 2019 Bridge Notes”) and the Bridge Notes issued in May 2019 (the “May 2019 Bridge Notes”) was extended three months from April 16, 2020 to July 16, 2020, (ii) the floor price at which conversions may occur under the April 2019 Bridge Notes and the May 2019 Bridge Notes was amended from $2.25 to $0.40, and (iii) guaranteed interest on the April 2019 Bridge Notes and the May 2019 Bridge Notes was amended from twelve months to eighteen months.

​

The Company reviewed the modifications and concluded that the March 2020 Amendment would be treated as an extinguishment of the related April 2019 Bridge Notes and May 2019 Bridge Notes. As a result, the Company recorded a debt premium on the post-modification debt of $0.8 million and a loss on extinguishment of convertible notes of $1.2 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

​

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, $0.3 million of bridge notes, plus interest, were converted into 427,997 shares of common stock of the Company.

​

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the change in Bridge Note debt discounts and debt premiums was as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(Dollars in thousands) | ​ | For the Three Months Ended March 31,
​ | ​ | 2020
​ | ​ | ​ | Debt Discounts | ​ | ​ | Debt Premiums
Beginning balance at January 1 | ​ | $ | (1,796) | ​ | $ | —
Additions: | ​ |  | — | ​ |  | 793
Deductions: | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Amortization (accretion) (1) | ​ | ​ | 703 | ​ | ​ | (39)
Write-off related to note conversions (2) | ​ | ​ | 138 | ​ | ​ | (75)
Write-off related to note extinguishment (3) | ​ | ​ | 955 | ​ | ​ | —
Balance at March 31 | ​ | $ | — | ​ | $ | 679

​

| (1) | Amortization/accretion is recognized as interest expense/income within the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the effective interest method.

| (2) | Write-offs associated with note conversions are recognized as an offset to additional paid-in capital at the time of the conversion.

| (3) | Write-offs associated with note extinguishment are recognized as a loss and included in loss on extinguishment of convertible notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

​

There were zero convertible notes outstanding at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

5. ACCRUED EXPENSES OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES.

Accrued expenses at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(dollars in thousands) |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Accrued expenses | ​ | $ | 1,192 | ​ | $ | 1,332

Accrued interest | ​ |  | 19 | ​ |  | 19
​ | ​ | $ | 1,761 | ​ | $ | 2,036

​

The Company was able to reduce certain accrued expense and accounts payable amounts through negotiations with certain vendors to settle outstanding liabilities and reversed certain accrued expenses based on statute of limitations for collections being met. The Company recorded these amounts as gains which are included in gain on settlement of liability, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, less than $0.1 million and zero, respectively, were recorded as a gain.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in legal proceedings related to matters, which are incidental to its business. Also, the Company is delinquent on the payment of outstanding accounts payable for certain vendors and suppliers who have taken or have threatened to take legal action to collect such outstanding amounts. See below for a discussion on these matters.

LITIGATIONS

CPA Global provides us with certain patent management services. On February 6, 2017, CPA Global claimed that we owed approximately $0.2 million for certain patent maintenance services rendered. CPA Global has not filed claims against us in connection with this allegation. A liability of less than $0.1 million has been recorded and is reflected in accounts payable within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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

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

15

Table of Contents

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 operating 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.

The Company also recognizes ROU assets from finance leases in connection with its HSRR program. For certain customers in the HSRR program, the Company leases diagnostic testing equipment and then subleases the equipment to the customer. Finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date, and at the sublease commencement date the finance lease ROU asset is derecognized and is recorded as cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Derecognized finance lease ROU assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were less than $0.1 million. There were no finance lease ROU asset transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Where Precipio is the lessor, customers lease diagnostic testing equipment from the Company with the transfer of ownership to the customer at the end of the lease term at no additional cost. For these contracts, the Company accounts for the arrangements as sales-type leases. The lease asset for sales-type leases is the net investment in leased asset, which is included in other current assets and other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net investment in leased assets was less than $0.1 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

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

Pursuant to the terms of the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement, on the agreement date, the Company issued 250,000 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 2020 Commitment Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the LP 2020 Registration Rights Agreement, on March 27, 2020, as amended on April 8, 2020, 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, 1,770,000 shares of common stock, which includes the LP 2020 Commitment Shares, that have been or may be issued to Lincoln Park under the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement. The Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2020. No shares registered under this S-1 were sold to Lincoln Park during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

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.

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). On August 28, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the “August 2017 Offering”) consisting of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and warrants.

The conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock contains a down round feature. The Company will recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. At that time, the effect would be treated as a deemed dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in our basic earnings per share calculation.

The March 2020 Amendment, see Note 4 – Convertible Notes, 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 $2.25 per share to $0.40 per share. In connection with the down round adjustment, the Company calculated an incremental beneficial conversion feature of approximately $3.3 million which was recognized as a deemed dividend at time of the down round adjustment (“Deemed Dividend A”).

There were no conversions of Series B Preferred Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had 6,900 shares of Series B Preferred Stock designated and issued and 47 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

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 statements of operations.

2016 Warrant Liability

The Company has a warrant liability related to warrants issued in January 2016 (the “2016 Warrant Liability”) and it represents the fair value of such warrants, of which, 357 warrants were settled for cash of approximately $0.1 million in January 2021. The balance of the 2016 Warrant Liability was zero as of March 31, 2021.

The 2016 Warrant Liability is considered a Level 3 financial instrument and was valued using the Black Scholes model. As of December 31, 2020, assumptions and inputs used in the valuation of the 2016 Warrant Liability include: remaining life to maturity of less than one month; annual volatility of 135%; and a risk-free interest rate of 0.08%.

Table of Contents

Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities

During 2018 and 2019, the Company issued warrants in connection with the issuance of Bridge Notes. All of these warrants issuances were classified as warrant liabilities (the “Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities”). See Note 4 - Convertible Notes for further discussion.

The Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities are considered Level 3 financial instruments and were valued using the Black Scholes model. As of March 31, 2021, assumptions used in the valuation of the Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities include: remaining life to maturity of 1.05 to 3.12 years; annual volatility of 160% to 223%; and risk free rate of 0.07% to 0.35%. As of December 31, 2020, assumptions used in the valuation of the Bridge Note Warrant Liabilities include: remaining life to maturity of 1.3 to 3.4 years; annual volatility of 162% to 201%; and risk free rate of 0.10% to 0.17%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were comprised of the following:

Stock Options.

The Company accounts for all stock-based compensation payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options, at fair value at the date of grant 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 management determines that achievement of the 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

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.

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.

Reagents and other diagnostic products

Control of reagents and other diagnostic products are transferred to the customer at a point in time and, as such, the Company recognizes these revenues at a point in time based on the delivery method. These revenues include revenues from reagent sets for our HSRR program, COVID-19 antibody tests and other product sales and are included in other revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Equipment leasing

The Company accounts for sales-type leases within the scope of ASC 842, Leases, as ASC 606 specifically excludes leases from its guidance. The sales-type leases result in the derecognition of the underlying asset, the recognition of profit or loss on the sale, and the recognition of an investment in leased asset. Revenue from sales-type leases is recognized upfront on the commencement date of the lease, and is included in other revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, revenue from sales-type leases was less than $0.1 million and zero, respectively.

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, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

​

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.

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 the following types of transactions: diagnostic testing (“Diagnostic”), revenues from the Company’s ICP technology and bio-pharma projects encompassing genetic diagnostics (collectively “Biomarker”), revenues from clinical research grants from state and federal research programs and diagnostic product sales, including revenues from equipment leases and reagent sales associated with our HSRR program.

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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the deferred revenue was $101,000 and $6,000, 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 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, 2021 and 2020.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company provides for a general allowance for collectability of services when recording net sales. The Company has adopted the policy of recognizing net sales to the extent it expects to collect that amount. Reference FASB 954-605-45-5 and ASU 2011-07, Health Care Entities: Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debt, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The change in the allowance for doubtful accounts is directly related to the increase in patient service revenues. The following table presents our reported revenues net of the collection allowance and adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Customer Contract

Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping and handling costs are comprised of inbound and outbound freight and associated labor. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as fulfillment costs which are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Accounts Receivable

The Company has provided an allowance for potential credit losses, which has been determined based on management’s industry experience. The Company grants credit without collateral to its patients, most of who are insured under third party payer agreements.

The following summarizes the mix of receivables outstanding related to payer categories:

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to March 31, 2021 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

​

At The Market Offering Agreement

On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Shares”), having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $22.0 million, to or through A.G.P., as sales agent (the “Sales Agreement”), from time to time, in an “at the market offering” (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Shares (the “ATM Offering”). The Company is limited in the number of shares it can sell in the ATM Offering due to the offering limitations currently applicable to the Company under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3 and the Company’s public float as of the applicable date of such sales, as well as the number of authorized and unissued shares available for issuance, in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement.

​

The offer and sales of our shares of Common Stock to or through A.G.P., will be made pursuant to the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-237445), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13, 2020, for an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million.

Under the Sales Agreement, Shares may be sold by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering.” A.G.P. will also be able to sell shares of Common Stock by any other method permitted by law, including in negotiated transactions with the Company’s prior written consent. Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, A.G.P. is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations, and the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market to sell the Shares from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions, including any price, time or size limits specified by the Company. A.G.P. is not under any obligation to purchase any of the Shares on a principal basis pursuant to the Sales Agreement, except as otherwise agreed by A.G.P. and the Company in writing and expressly set forth in a placement notice. A.G.P.’s obligations to sell the Shares under the Sales Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including customary closing conditions. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Shares under the Sales Agreement and any determination by the Company to do so will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and the Company’s capital raising needs.

The Company has agreed to pay A.G.P. a cash fee of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares on the Company’s behalf pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this type. In addition, the Company has provided A.G.P. with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company has also agreed to reimburse A.G.P. for certain specified expenses, including the expenses of counsel to A.G.P. The offering of the Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Sales Agreement by A.G.P. or the Company, as permitted therein.

​

From the date of the Sales Agreement through the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have received gross proceeds of approximately $15.4 million from the sale of 4,501,000 shares of common stock through A.G.P.

​

Warrant Exercises

From April 1, 2021 through the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company issued 74,000 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of 74,000 warrants that were outstanding as of March 31, 2021. The warrant exercises resulted in cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $0.4 million.

Overview

We are a cancer diagnostics and reagent technology company providing diagnostic products, reagents 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 technologies developed in collaboration with 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 various academic institutions to capture the expertise, experience and technologies developed within academia to provide a better standard of cancer diagnostics and aim to solve the growing problem of cancer misdiagnosis. In support of this platform, we also operate a research and development facility in Omaha, Nebraska which focuses on the development of various technologies, among them our internally developed proprietary products IV-Cell and HemeScreen. To expand our product offering capabilities, the Omaha facility was recently CLIA and CAP certified in order to process a variety of commercial molecular tests previously referenced out and to further expand our capabilities and know-how in transitioning R&D lab generated technology into a commercial laboratory environment.

The Company also holds an exclusive license to patented ICE-COLD-PCR (“ICP”) technology from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc., or Dana-Farber, at Harvard University. We believe that such technology will provide additional

services and products directed at improving diagnostic outcomes and providing physicians with options for targeted therapies.

In April 2020, we formed a Joint Venture with Poplar. Poplar provides specialized laboratory testing services to a nationwide client base of gastroenterologists, dermatologists, oncologists, urologists, gynecologists and their patients. The business purpose of the Joint Venture is to facilitate and capitalize on the combined capabilities, resources and healthcare industry relationships of its members by partnering, promoting and providing oncology services to office based physicians, hospitals and medical centers. Under the terms of the Joint Venture, Precipio SPV has a 49% ownership interest in the Joint Venture, with Poplar having a 51% ownership. We have determined that we hold a variable interest in the Joint Venture and that we are the primary beneficiary of the Joint Venture. Due to this determination, we consolidate the Joint Venture. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion.

​

Recent Developments

Business Activities – HemeScreen

The HemeScreen Reagent Program (“HSSR”) offers oncology practices and hospitals diagnostic reagent sets of our patent-pending HemeScreen technology at significantly lower costs, while reducing the test reporting time from 7 to 10 days down to 1 day and improving patient care. The HSRR program provides a turn-key test offering together with an option to lease-to-own diagnostic testing equipment from the Company. In most practice settings, such hematologic cancer tests are referenced out as both the cost of equipment and the cost of the diagnostic reagents are prohibitive. By utilizing our HSSR program the customer can generate in-house testing revenues through reagent purchase contracts and economical lease-to-own rates. Customers can generate in-house revenues and profits instead of sending out the same tests to large commercial reference laboratories. The HSSR customer also benefits from obtaining faster results, thus ultimately providing better patient care. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company began to recognize recurring revenues from its first few HSRR accounts.

Business Activities – COVID Testing

On May 3, 2021, the Company expanded access to its COVID-19 rapid antibody test (20 minute) by listing on Amazon.com’s healthcare website platform. The antibody test, which is manufactured in the USA by Nirmidas Biotech, of California, was the first US-based test to receive emergency use authorization (EUA) by the FDA for point-of-care (POC). Precipio holds the exclusive rights to distribute this product on Amazon’s platform. The COVID-19 rapid antibody test tests for both IgG & IgM antibodies. It may currently be purchased by any medical practitioner having a National Provider Identifier (“NPI”), hospitals, medical centers and other qualified medical POC providers.

​

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, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $1.5 million, negative working capital of $0.3 million and net cash used in operating activities of $1.3 million. 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 is dependent upon a combination of achieving its business plan, including generating additional revenue and avoiding potential business disruption due to COVID-19, 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:

| ● | On March 26, 2020, the Company entered into a second agreement (the “LP 2020 Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund LLC (“Lincoln Park”), 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

32

Table of Contents

|  | (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the term of the LP 2020 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 the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, we have already received approximately $8.8 million from the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement from the sale of 4,980,000 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park from April 1, 2020 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, leaving the Company an additional $1.2 million to draw subsequent to the filing of this Quarterly Report. See Note 8 Stockholders’ Equity for further discussion on Lincoln Park agreements;

| ● | During 2020, the Company received $0.8 million in funds from the PPP Loan and on February 11, 2021, the Company filed its application for loan forgiveness which was granted effective March 24, 2021. See Note 3 Long-Term Debt.; and

| ● | On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Shares”), having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $22.0 million, to or through A.G.P., as sales agent (the “Sales Agreement”), from time to time, in an “at the market offering” (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Shares (the “ATM Offering”). The Company is limited in the number of shares it can sell in the ATM Offering due to the offering limitations currently applicable to the Company under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3 and the Company’s public float as of the applicable date of such sales, as well as the number of authorized and unissued shares available for issuance, in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement. The offer and sales of our shares of Common Stock to or through A.G.P., will be made pursuant to the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-237445), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13, 2020, for an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. From April 2, 2021 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, we have already received approximately $15.4 million in gross proceeds through the Sales Agreement from the sale of 4,501,000 shares of common stock, leaving the Company an additional $6.6 million available for future sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

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.

Outlook - COVID-19 related

The COVID-19 outbreak, which spread worldwide in the first quarter of 2020, has caused significant business disruption. The extent of the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and impact on the Company's customers, employees and vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. These uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We have been actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation and its impact on the global economy and the Company. As the global pandemic evolves, we will continue to monitor the extent to which COVID-19 impacts our revenues, expenses and liquidity.

​ | ​ | Dollars in Thousands |
​ | ​ | Three Months Ended | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | March 31, | ​ | Change |
​ |  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | $ |  | % |
Service revenue, net, less allowance for doubtful accounts | ​ | $ | 1,657 | ​ | $ | 1,192 | ​ | $ | 465 | ​ | 39 | %
Other | ​ |  | 167 | ​ |  | 24 | ​ | ​ | 143 | ​ | 596 | %
Net Sales | ​ | $ | 1,824 | ​ | $ | 1,216 | ​ | $ | 608 | ​ | 50 | %

​

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were approximately $1.8 million, an increase of $0.6 million as compared to the same period in 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, patient diagnostic service revenue increased $0.8 million as compared to the same period in 2020 due to an increase in cases processed. We processed 1,083 cases during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to 683 cases during the same period in 2020, or a 59% increase in cases. The increase in patient diagnostic service revenue was partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in contract diagnostics revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. Other revenue increased $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, mostly resulting from increased revenue related to our HSRR program.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes material and supply costs for the patient tests performed and other direct costs (primarily personnel costs, pathologist interpretation costs and rent) associated with the operations of our laboratory. Cost of sales increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase included an increase in patient diagnostic costs offset by a decrease in contract diagnostic costs which are in line with the changes in related revenues discussed above.

Gross Profit. Gross profit and gross margins were as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | Dollars in Thousands |
​ | ​ | Three Months Ended | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | March 31, | ​ | Margin % |
​ |  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2020 |
Gross Profit | ​ | $ | 468 | ​ | $ | 125 |  | 26 | % | 10 | %

​

Gross margin was 26% of total net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 10% of total net sales for the same period in 2020 and the gross profit was approximately $0.5 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The gross margin increased during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, as a result of increases in case volume and revenue. We operate a fully staffed CLIA and CAP certified clinical pathology and molecular laboratory. As such, it is necessary to maintain appropriate staffing levels to provide industry standard laboratory processing and reporting to ordering physicians. The increase in case volume enabled our laboratory to yield economies of scale and to leverage fixed expenses. We anticipate case volume to increase in 2021 and for our costs per case to improve as additional economies of scale are possible.

​

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, professional fees, travel costs, facility costs and depreciation and amortization. Our operating expenses increased by $0.3 million to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase included increases of $0.1 million in general and administrative expenses, $0.1 million in research and development expenses and $0.3 million in stock based compensation expenses. These were partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in sales and marketing costs, which is primarily decreased personnel costs due to a lower sales headcount in the current year period.

​

Other (Expense) Income. We recorded other income, net of $0.7 million and other expense, net of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The current year period other income of $0.7 million

includes $0.8 million of a gain on forgiveness of debt related to the forgiveness of our PPP Loan which will not be required to be repaid, partially offset by $0.1 million expense from warrant revaluations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, net other expense of approximately $1.0 million includes a $1.2 million expense for loss on extinguishment of convertible notes which was recorded in conjunction with the March 2020 Amendment, and interest expense, net of $0.7 million primarily from the amortization of debt discounts related to our convertible notes. These expenses were partially offset by $0.9 million of income recorded on warrant revaluations.

​

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital positions were as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Dollars in Thousands
​ |  | March 31, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020 |  | Change
Current assets (including cash of $2,286 and $2,656 respectively) | ​ | $ | 3,859 | ​ | $ | 4,204 | ​ | $ | (345)

Working capital | ​ | $ | (324) | ​ | $ | (452) | ​ | $ | 128

​

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we received gross proceeds of $1.3 million from the sale of 500,000 shares of our common stock.

Analysis of Cash Flows – Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

Net Change in Cash. Cash decreased by $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities. The cash flows used in operating activities of approximately $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 included a net loss of $1.4 million, an increase in inventories and other assets of $0.3 million, an increase in finance lease right of use assets of less than $0.1 million, a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $0.2 million and a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $0.1 million. These were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $0.2 million and non-cash adjustments of $0.5 million. The non-cash adjustments included $0.3 million for the change in provision for losses on doubtful accounts. We routinely provide a reserve for doubtful accounts as a result of having limited in-network payer contracts. Non-cash adjustments also included $0.8 million for a gain on forgiveness of debt, which resulted from the forgiveness of the PPP Loan. The other non-cash adjustments to net loss of approximately $0.9 million include, among other things, depreciation and amortization, warrant revaluations and stock based compensation. The cash flows used in operating activities of approximately $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 included a net loss of $3.2 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $0.5 million and a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $0.1 million. These were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $0.2 million, a decrease in other assets of $0.1 million, an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $0.2 million and non-cash adjustments of $1.7 million.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities. Cash flows used in investing activities were $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, resulting from purchases of property and equipment.

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which included proceeds of $1.3 million from the issuance of common stock. This was partially offset by payments on our long-term debt and finance lease obligations of less than $0.1 million and payments on common stock warrant liabilities of $0.1 million. Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which included proceeds of $1.4 million from the issuance of common stock partially offset by payments on our long-term debt and convertible notes of $0.2 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At each of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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, 2021, as compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2021.

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. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 2 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to unaudited condensed financial statements for additional information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Impact of Inflation

We do not believe that price inflation or deflation had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations during the periods presented.

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, 2021.

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, 2021 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

CPA Global provides us with certain patent management services. On February 6, 2017, CPA Global claimed that we owed approximately $0.2 million for certain patent maintenance services rendered. CPA Global has not filed claims against us in connection with this allegation. A liability of less than $0.1 million has been recorded and is reflected in accounts payable within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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, 2021, we had a net loss of $1.5 million, negative working capital of $0.3 million and net cash used in operating activities of $1.3 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

38

Table of Contents

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 may 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, 2021, our cash balance was $2.3 million and our working capital was approximately negative $0.3 million. Due to our recurring losses from operations and the expectation that we will continue to incur losses in the future, we may 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. In future periods, 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. From April 1, 2021 through the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have received gross proceeds of approximately $15.4 million from the sale of 4,501,000 shares of common stock through the Sales Agreement with A.G.P. and we have received cash proceeds of approximately $0.4 million from the exercise of 74,000 warrants.

We face risks related to health pandemics and other widespread outbreaks of contagious disease, including the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, which could significantly disrupt our operations and impact our financial results.

Our business could be disrupted and materially adversely affected by the recent outbreak of COVID-19. In December 2019, an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a strain of novel coronavirus, COVID-19, began in China. As of March 2021, that outbreak has led to numerous confirmed cases worldwide, including in the United States. The outbreak and government measures taken in response have also had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the third parties with whom we engage operate.

The spread of COVID-19 has created a worldwide humanitarian and economic crisis. The events we are living through are in many ways unprecedented, with large-scale quarantines, border closings, school closings, and physical distancing. Governments and communities have been jolted into action to “flatten the curve.” As an organization we have accelerated our actions to protect employees, customers and suppliers.

​

The progression of the outbreak and its effects on our business and operations are uncertain. While we can only estimate the financial impacts to our business, based on current data, we have experienced business interruptions in certain urban markets that continue to range from 30% to 85%. With the understanding that it is extremely difficult to project the full and ongoing impact of state-by-state quarantine and shelter-in-place orders, we anticipate that such rules and restrictions on businesses will continue through 2021 and quite possibly beyond, in various degrees, as the country re-opens state by state, county by county and city by city. Returning to normalcy is conditioned on many factors surrounding the control and or eradication of COVID-19. As such, we are unable to provide additional insight on the impact to our business at this time.

Going forward, we expect that challenges to our business will continue. We have been and will continue to be prudent in managing through this economic crisis. Digital connectivity is now fundamental to the continuity of our business operations. We continually engage our employees and customers in keeping safe. We monitor adherence to governmental guidelines. We have employed remote work where possible. In this unchartered time, we recognize the need for frequent and transparent communication to all parties. As necessary, we will provide additional information related to this economic condition, including the impact to our future operating results due to downturns in global economies and financial markets.
