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 Misdiagnoses originate from outdated commercial diagnostic cancer testing technologies, lack of subspecialized expertise, and sub-optimal laboratory processes that are needed in today’s diagnostic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 believes cancer diagnostics requires a holistic approach to improve the quality of diagnostic data and achieve more accurate interpretations of the patient situation, with the intent to reduce misdiagnoses. By delivering 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 to develop diagnostic products. Laboratory and R&D facilities located in New Haven, Connecticut and Omaha, Nebraska house teams that collaborate on the development of 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 Products Division commercial team generates direct sales as well as works with our key distributors. Global healthcare distributors, such as ThermoFisher and McKesson, have partnered with us to form the backbone of the Company’s go-to-market strategy and enable us to access laboratories around the country that can benefit from using our diagnostic products. ​ 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. The Joint Venture was dissolved on November 1, 2023 with an effective date of December 31, 2022. 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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $6.8 million and net cash used in operating activities of $3.7 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $99.1 million and a negative working capital of $1.1 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 macroeconomic environment and geopolitical instability, 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 14, 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement with AGP, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell its common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $5.8 million, to or through AGP, as sales agent (the “AGP 2023 Sales Agreement”). The sale of our shares of common stock to or through AGP, pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement, will be made pursuant to the registration statement (the “2023 Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-271277), filed by the Company with the SEC on April 14, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed by the Company with the SEC on April 25, 2023, and declared effective on April 27, 2023. As of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, we have received less than $1 thousand in gross proceeds through the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement from the sale of 25 shares of common stock. The Company has approximately $3.8 million available for future sales pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement. See Note 7 Stockholders’ Equity, AGP 2023 Sales Agreement, for further discussion.
| ● | On June 8, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which it received $2.0 million in gross proceeds through the sale of 206,250 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. Issuance costs were approximately $0.2 million and the Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. See Note 7 Stockholders’ Equity, Registered Direct Offering, for further discussion.
​ 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. Nasdaq Compliance. On October 28, 2022, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that for the past 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price per share of our common stock was below $1.00, the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). On April 27, 2023, Nasdaq notified us that we were eligible for an extension to comply with the Bid Price Rule until October 23, 2023, by which date we must have regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule for at least ten consecutive business days along with compliance of other Nasdaq listing rules. On September 21, 2023 we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, pursuant to which we effected a 1-for-20 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 September 21, 2023, and our common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the market open on September 22, 2023. On October 6, 2023, we received notification from Nasdaq that for ten consecutive business days, the closing bid price of our common stock was at least $1.00 per share, and accordingly, the Company regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, and that the matter is now closed.
