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 Misdiagnoses originate from outdated commercial diagnostic cancer testing technologies, lack of subspecialized expertise, and sub-optimal laboratory processes that are needed in today’s diagnostic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, McKesson and Cardinal Health, 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 product. ​ 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 held 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 and the Company recorded a gain on dissolution of the Joint Venture of less than $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 which is included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations. ​ Going Concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using 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 year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $5.8 million and net cash used in operating activities of $3.6 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $98.2 million and working capital of $0.5 million. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is dependent upon a combination of achieving its business plan, including generating additional revenue and raising additional financing to meet its debt obligations and paying liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. To meet its current and future obligations the Company has taken the following steps to capitalize the business and successfully achieve its business plan:
| ● | 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 consolidated financial statements were issued, we have received $0.1 million in gross proceeds through the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement from the sale of 10,192 shares of common stock. The Company has approximately $3.7 million available for future sales pursuant to the AGP 2023 Sales Agreement. On January 19, 2024, we filed a prospectus supplement to our prospectus dated April 25, 2023 registering the offer and sales of up to $865,889 of shares of our common stock. We have approximately $0.8 million of remaining availability pursuant to this prospectus supplement.
| ● | 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.
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 consolidated financial statements were available to be 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 Annual Report Form 10-K. The accompanying 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.
