BUSINESS DESCRIPTION [Abstract] |
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION | 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Business Description. Precipio, Inc., and its subsidiaries, (collectively, “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Precipio”) is a healthcare solutions company focused on cancer diagnostics. The Company’s business mission is to address the pervasive problem of cancer misdiagnoses by developing solutions to mitigate the root causes of this problem in the form of diagnostic products, reagents and services. Misdiagnoses originate from aged commercial diagnostic cancer testing technologies, lack of subspecialized expertise, and sub-optimal laboratory processes that are needed in today’s diagnostic cancer testing in order to provide accurate, rapid, and resource-effective results to treat patients. Industry studies estimate 1 in 5 blood-cancer patients are misdiagnosed. As cancer diagnostic testing has evolved from cellular to molecular (genes and exons), laboratory testing has become extremely complex, requiring even greater diagnostic precision, attention to process and a more appropriate evaluation of the abundance of genetic data to effectively gather, consider, analyze and present information for the physician for patient treatment. Precipio sees cancer diagnostics as requiring a holistic approach to improve diagnostic data for improved interpretations with the intent to reduce misdiagnoses. By delivering diagnostic products, reagents and services that improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnostics, leading to fewer misdiagnoses, we believe patient outcomes can be improved through the selection of appropriate therapeutic options. Furthermore, we believe that better patient outcomes will have a positive impact on healthcare expenses as misdiagnoses are reduced. Better Diagnostic Results – Better Patient Outcome – Lower Healthcare Expenditures. ​ To deliver its strategy, the Company has structured its organization in order to drive development of diagnostic products. Laboratory and R&D facilities located in New Haven, Connecticut and Omaha, Nebraska house development teams that collaborate on new products and services. The Company operates CLIA laboratories in both the New Haven, Connecticut and Omaha, Nebraska locations providing essential blood cancer diagnostics to office-based oncologists in many states nationwide. To deliver on our strategy of mitigating misdiagnoses we rely heavily on our CLIA laboratory to support R&D beta-testing of the products we develop, in a clinical environment. ​ Our operating structure promotes the harnessing of our proprietary technology and genetic diagnostic expertise to bring to market the Company’s robust pipeline of innovative solutions designed to address the root causes of misdiagnoses. Joint Venture. The Company has determined that it holds a variable interest in a joint venture formed in April 2020 (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. 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, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $4.6 million, an accumulated deficit of $84.7 million, working capital of $7.0 million and net cash used in operating activities of $2.3 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 April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell its common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $22.0 million, to or through AGP, as sales agent (the “AGP Sales Agreement”). 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 AGP 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 AGP 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.
