EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On March 25, 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an order Release No. 34-88465 (the “Order”) pursuant to its authority under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) granting exemptions from certain provisions of that Act and the rules thereunder related to the reporting and proxy delivery requirements for certain public companies. Interpace Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 in reliance on the Order, permitting a delay in filing due to circumstances related to COVID-19. The Company filed, on May 15, 2020, a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “May 15th 8-K”) indicating its intention to rely on the Order. As stated in the May 15th 8-K, the Company required additional time to finalize this report due to circumstances related to COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. The effects of COVID-19 have limited the abilities of the Company’s employees to conduct normal business activities. This, in turn, delayed the Company’s ability to prepare this report.

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this Amendment) amends the Company’s Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as amended, (the “Original Filing”) and is being filed to show the impact in such quarter of intangible asset amortization and impairment expense for its Barrett’s and Thyroid assets which began in 2014. Subsequent to the issuance of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Company determined that amortization should have commenced upon acquisition of those assets as opposed to the Company’s previously disclosed policy of beginning asset amortization when the product was launched and generating revenue. The impact of the additional amortization expense for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was approximately $0.1 million. The impact of the other immaterial adjustments for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was $0.1 million in expense and $0.2 million in a credit to expense, respectively

 

A description of these adjustments and a summary showing their effect on the restated consolidated statements of operations is provided in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. In addition to the errors described above, the restated financial statements also include adjustments to correct certain other immaterial errors, including previously unrecorded immaterial adjustments identified in audits of prior years’ financial statements.

 

The Company is filing this report in order to amend certain information in Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I to reflect the restatement of the March 31, 2020 and 2019 unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and Notes 1,3,5 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements attached hereto solely to the extent necessary to reflect the adjustments described herein; and the principal executive officer and principal financial officer certifications pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Except for the foregoing items, no other information in the Original Filing is revised by this Amendment.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

 

We have taken what we believe are all necessary precautions to safeguard our employees from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We are following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (“CDC”) guidance and local restrictions. The majority of our employees who do not work in a lab are currently on a telecommunication work arrangement and have generally been able to successfully work remotely. Our labs require in-person staffing and as of the date of this report, we have been able to successfully operate our labs through a combination of social distancing and protective equipment. Our employees in the lab are wearing what we believe is appropriate protective gear. There can be no assurance that key employees will not become ill or that we will able to continue to operate our labs. We have furloughed a number of employees as a result of reductions in customer demand.

 

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations is dependent on future developments, which are still highly uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus outbreak. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally is adversely affecting global economies and financial markets which could materially and adversely impact our operations including, without limitation, the functioning of our laboratories, the availability of supplies including reagents, the progress and data collection of our pharma services, customer demand and travel and employee health and availability.

 

We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic will adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and possibly beyond. Our fiscal 2020 first quarter revenue was impacted by lower than expected clinical service volume throughout March 2020, which we believe has resulted from the temporary reduction in non-essential testing procedures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Our pharma services first quarter revenue increased throughout the first quarter and average daily accessions improved in March 2020 as compared to January and February 2020. However, as of the date of this Report, our overall business is still down approximately 30% from our run rate before the pandemic.

 

We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these dynamic circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan.

 

8
 

 

At this time, we do not anticipate any lab closures beyond temporary work stoppages from time to time to clean and disinfect the labs. Lab supplies including reagents have been secured to mitigate any potential supply chain issues for the foreseeable future and we are not observing any shortages due to supply chain issues. Our third party clinical services billing and collections company has taken steps to continue operations remotely.

 

We are monitoring the situation on a daily basis and have developed contingency plans to potentially mitigate the anticipated adverse financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These contingency plans include significant cost saving actions to offset any volume shortfall and additional action plans to react to further potential declines. While we are continuing to make progress on a regular basis in returning to volumes prior to the pandemic there is, however, no guarantee in the future we will recover the business which has been lost or inactive.

 

Restatement

 

We have restated herein our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020. We have also restated impacted amounts within the accompanying footnotes to the consolidated financial statements which have been noted as such.

 

As a result of overall economic conditions related to the coronavirus pandemic, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Company’s financial results, and the decrease in the price of the Company’s common stock noted during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company performed an internal review of its long-lived assets. Due to an extended delay in the launch of the Company’s Barrett’s test, the Company believes there was a triggering event in Fiscal 2016. The Company applied the required procedures under ASC 360 and assessed the estimated future cash flows related to the Barrett’s intangible asset on an undiscounted basis. It was determined that the carrying value of the asset was in excess of the undiscounted cash flows as of December 31, 2016. As a result, the Company performed a formal valuation of the asset on a discounted basis in order to measure the related impairment. Additionally, the Company concluded that amortization of both the Barrett’s intangible asset and its Thyroid intangible assets should have begun at the point in which the asset was ready for use. The Company’s policy had been to amortize such assets upon launch of the test.

 

On December 7, 2020, the Company’s management conferred with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and concluded that (1) a non-cash impairment charge for an intangible asset of approximately $12 million should have been recorded during the Company’s 2016 fiscal year; (2) the Company should have initiated amortization of such intangible asset in fiscal 2014 and therefore each of fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 and the first two quarters of fiscal 2020 require adjustment to record amortization expense; (3) the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, as well as the consolidated financial statements contained in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each quarterly period within those fiscal years as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, should no longer be relied upon. As a result the Company is restating its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 in this Form 10-Q/A.

 

The following tables present reconciliation from our prior periods as previously reported to the restated values for the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statement of operations. A description of misstatements is listed below:

  a)

Amortization expense - We recorded amortization expense starting at the dates of acquisition for our Barrett’s and Thyroid intangible assets. The impact of the additional amortization charge was approximately $0.1 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

     
  b)

Asset impairment - We recorded an impairment charge on our Barrett’s intangible asset of approximately $11.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.

     
  c) Adjustments - Adjustments to correct certain other immaterial errors, including previously unrecorded immaterial adjustments identified in audits of prior years’ financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (the “Interim Financial Statements”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Interpace Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company” or “Interpace”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Interpace Diagnostics Lab Inc., Interpace Diagnostics Corporation, Interpace Pharma Solutions, Inc. and Interpace Diagnostics, LLC, and related notes as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on April 22, 2020 and as amended on May 29, 2020 and the date hereof (the “Form 10-K”).

 

The condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed Interim Financial Statements include all normal recurring adjustments that, in the judgment of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such interim financial statements. Discontinued operations include the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Group DCA, LLC, or Group DCA; InServe Support Solutions; and TVG, Inc. and its Commercial Services (“CSO”) business unit which was sold on December 22, 2015. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. All information related to common stock, stock options, restricted stock units, warrants and earnings per share have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split (1 for 10) that occurred in January 2020.

 

3. LIQUIDITY

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13.4 million, net accounts receivable of $9.8 million, total current assets of $28.1 million and total current liabilities of $15.7 million. For the three-months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $6.5 million and cash used in operating activities was $7.1 million.

 

16
 

 

We do not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations for the year ending December 31, 2020. We intend to meet our ongoing capital needs by using our available cash, proceeds under the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, additional borrowings under the Line of Credit as well as by increasing our line of credit limit as a result of the additional accounts receivable acquired in July 2019 as part of our acquisition of the Biopharma business of Cancer Genetics, Inc. or CGI, now our pharma services (which requires a modification to the bank agreement and approval by Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), revenue growth and margin improvement, collecting accounts receivable, containing costs as well as exploring other financing options. Management believes that the Company has sufficient cash on hand and sufficient access to cash to sustain operations through at least June 30, 2021.

 

In September 2019, we entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., as sales agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock in an aggregate offering price of up to $4.8 million through the Agent. See Note 16, Equity, for more details. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 178,000 shares of common stock were sold for net proceeds of approximately $0.7 million. As a result of the preferred shares transaction mentioned below, additional shares may no longer be sold under the ATM arrangement without a majority approval by the holders of the preferred shares. See Note 16, Equity, for more detail.

 

In January 2020, we sold 20,000 Series B preferred shares to investors, led by 1315 Capital, for net proceeds of approximately $19.5 million. See Note 16, Equity, for more detail.

 

The Company maintains an up to a $4.0 million secured Line of Credit facility including a 3-year term loan for $850,000 with SVB. The proceeds of the term loan are expected to be used for laboratory capital expenditures and will be repaid monthly. The balance of the Line of Credit is available for working capital purposes as a revolving line of credit and has a three-year term. The borrowing limit of the revolving line of credit is the lower of 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable (as adjusted by SVB) and the aggregate amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable during the three prior calendar months. Term loan outstanding amounts incur interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (the “Prime Rate”) and 5.00%. Revolving Line outstanding amounts incur interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.5%. As of March 31, 2020, $1.2 million was outstanding and $2.2 million was remaining on the Line of Credit.

 

See Note 1, Overview, regarding the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and possibly beyond.

 

During April 2020, the Company applied for various federal stimulus grants and advances made available under Title 1 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. As of May 1, 2020, we received $2.1 million in advances under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) accelerated and advance payment program, as well as a $0.65 million grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS). The CMS advance will be offset against future Medicare billings of the Company, and the HSS grant is subject to certain conditions regarding its use, including developing coronavirus and serology tests. These grants and advances require certain certifications by the Company and impose specific limitations on the use of the proceeds. Based on these restrictions and limitations, the Company is treating the $0.65 million HSS grant as restricted cash until we have clarity on how the funds can be utilized by the Company based on the specific requirements of the HSS.

 

During April and early May 2020, the Company made payments totaling $888,000 to CGI for funds withheld from the Excess Consideration Note to satisfy certain adjustments and indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The funds used to satisfy this obligation were not included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. These funds and the related liability were included in Other Assets and Other Current Liabilities, respectively, as of those period ends, and the settlement of the liability had no net impact on the Company’s operating cash flow or liquidity.

 

17
 

 

As of June 17, 2020 we have approximately $16.2 million of cash on hand. Also as of June 17, 2020, the Company has no further availability on its credit facility, but is in the process of completing an agreement with SVB to expand the credit facility. No assurance can be given that such an expansion agreement will be entered into.

 

Upon the filing of this Form 10Q/A, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2020 was below the minimum required by Nasdaq. In the event the Company is unable to maintain its Nasdaq listing for its common stock due to a failure to meet minimum stockholder equity requirements due to the classification of its preferred stock as temporary equity and as a result of the amortization and impairment of certain intangible assets set forth herein, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted. Therefore, there is no guarantee that additional capital can be raised to fund our future operations.

 

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates include accounting for valuation allowances related to deferred income taxes, contingent consideration, allowances for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, unrecognized tax benefits, and asset impairments involving other intangible assets. The Company periodically reviews these matters and reflects changes in estimates in earnings as appropriate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our clinical services derive its revenues from the performance of its proprietary assays or tests. The Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled upon the completion, review and release of test results to the customer. The Company subsequently bills third-party payers or direct-bill payers for the tests performed. Under Accounting Standards Codification 606, revenue is recognized based on the estimated transaction price or NRV, which is determined based on historical collection rates by each payer category for each proprietary test offered by the Company. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, for all third party and direct-bill payers and proprietary tests, 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.

 

For our clinical services, we regularly review the ultimate amounts received from the third-party and direct-bill payers and related estimated reimbursement rates and adjust the NRV’s and related contractual allowances accordingly. If actual collections and related NRV’s vary significantly from our estimates, we will adjust the estimates of contractual allowances, which would affect net revenue in the period such variances become known.

 

For our pharma services, performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time as the Company processes samples delivered by the customer. Project level activities, including study setup and project management, are satisfied over the life of the contract. Revenues are recognized at a point in time when the test results or other deliverables are reported to the customer.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

For our pharma services, project level fee revenue is recognized as deferred revenue and recorded at fair value. It represents payments received in advance of services rendered and is recognized ratably over the life of the contract.

Financing and Payment

 

For non-Medicare claims, our payment terms vary by payer category. Payment terms for direct-payers in our clinical or diagnostics business are typically thirty days and in our pharma services, up to sixty days. Commercial third-party-payers are required to respond to a claim within a time period established by their respective state regulations, generally between thirty to sixty days. However, payment for commercial third-party claims may be subject to a denial and appeal process, which could take up to two years in some instances where multiple appeals are submitted. The Company generally appeals all denials from commercial third-party payers.

 

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 sales and marketing expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s accounts receivables represent unconditional rights to consideration and are generated using its clinical services and pharma services. The Company’s clinical services are fulfilled upon completion of the test, review and release of the test results. In conjunction with fulfilling these services, the Company bills the third-party payer or direct-bill payer. Contractual adjustments represent the difference between the list prices and the reimbursement rates set by third party payers, including Medicare, commercial payers, and amounts billed to direct-bill payers. Specific accounts may be written off after several appeals, which in some cases may take longer than twelve months. Pharma services represent, primarily, the performance of laboratory tests in support of clinical trials for pharma services customers. The Company bills these services directly to the customer.

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. All leases with terms greater than twelve months result in the recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Unless a lease provides all of the information required to determine the implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. We use the implicit interest rate in the lease when readily determinable.

 

Our lease terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend (or to not terminate) the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with terms of twelve months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of an asset or liability. See Note 7, Leases.

Other Current Assets

 

Other current assets consisted of the following as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Due from CGI   1,297    92 
Other   80    75 
Total other current assets  $4,976   $3,851 

 

Long-Lived Assets, including Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

 

Finite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of finite-lived acquired intangible assets is recognized on a straight-line basis, using the estimated useful lives of the assets of approximately two years to ten years in acquisition related amortization expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized by reducing the recorded value of the asset to its fair value measured by future discounted cash flows. This analysis requires estimates of the amount and timing of projected cash flows and, where applicable, judgments associated with, among other factors, the appropriate discount rate. Such estimates are critical in determining whether any impairment charge should be recorded and the amount of such charge if an impairment loss is deemed to be necessary.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

A reconciliation of the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill is attributable to the acquisition of our pharma services in July 2019. The carrying value of the intangible assets acquired was $15.6 million, with goodwill of approximately $8.3 million and identifiable intangible assets of approximately $7.3 million. The goodwill balance at March 31, 2020 was $8.4 million. The net carrying value of the identifiable intangible assets from all acquisitions as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

 

          As Restated     As Restated  
          As of March 31, 2020     As of December 31, 2019

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their relative short-term nature. The Company’s financial liabilities reflected at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements include contingent consideration and warrant liability. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based upon observable inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values into three broad levels as follows:

 

  Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active markets from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 3: Valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

 

22
 

 

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The valuation methodologies used for the Company’s financial instruments measured on a recurring basis at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth in the tables below:

 

   As of March 31, 2020  Fair Value Measurements
   Carrying  Fair  As of March 31, 2020
   Amount  Value  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3

   $2,975   $2,975   $-   $-   $2,975 

 

(1)(2) See Note 9, Accrued Expenses and Long-Term Liabilities

 

In connection with the acquisition of certain assets from Asuragen, the Company recorded contingent consideration related to contingent payments and other revenue-based payments. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement.

 

A roll forward of the carrying value of the Contingent Consideration Liability and the Underwriters’ Warrants to March 31, 2020 is as follows:

   $2,975   $(136)  $109   $-   $(27)  $2,921 

 

Certain of the Company’s non-financial assets, such as other intangible assets and goodwill, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

Due to the nature of the businesses in which the Company is engaged it is subject to certain risks. Such risks include, among others, risk of liability for personal injury or death to persons using products the Company promotes or commercializes. There can be no assurance that substantial claims or liabilities will not arise in the future due to the nature of the Company’s business activities and recent increases in litigation related to healthcare products.

 

The Company could also be held liable for errors and omissions of its employees in connection with the services it performs that are outside the scope of any indemnity or insurance policy. The Company could be materially adversely affected if it were required to pay damages or incur defense costs in connection with a claim that is outside the scope of an indemnification agreement; if the indemnity, although applicable, is not performed in accordance with its terms; or if the Company’s liability exceeds the amount of applicable insurance or indemnity.

 

9. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

 

Other accrued expenses consisted of the following as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Historically, stock options have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant, expire 10 years from the date they are granted, and generally vested over a one to three-year period for employees and members of the Board. Upon exercise, new shares will be issued by the Company. The restricted shares and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to employees generally have a three-year graded vesting period and are subject to accelerated vesting and forfeiture under certain circumstances. Restricted shares and RSUs granted to Board members generally have a three-year graded vesting period and are subject to accelerated vesting and forfeiture under certain circumstances.

 

The following table provides the weighted average assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock option awards granted during the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

   March 31, 2020  March 31, 2019

11. INCOME TAXES

 

Generally, accounting standards require companies to provide for income taxes each quarter based on their estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes allows use of the discrete method when it provides a better estimate of income tax expense. Due to the Company’s valuation allowance position, it is the Company’s position that the discrete method provides a more accurate estimate of income tax expense and therefore income tax expense for the current quarter has been presented using the discrete method. As the year progresses, the Company refines its estimate based on the facts and circumstances by each tax jurisdiction. The following table summarizes income tax expense on loss from continuing operations and the effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

   Three Months Ended
   March 31,
   2020  2019
   (unaudited)
       
Provision for income tax  $15   $5 
Effective income tax rate   (0.2%)   (0.1%)

 

Income tax expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was primarily due to minimum state and local taxes.

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in March 2020. The CARES Act includes several U.S. income tax provisions related to, among other things, net operating loss carrybacks, alternative minimum tax credits, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, and technical amendments regarding the income tax depreciation of qualified improvement property placed in service after December 31, 2017. The CARES Act is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

We operate under one segment which is the business of developing and selling diagnostic clinical and pharma services.

 

13. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

The components of liabilities classified as discontinued operations relate to Commercial Services and consist of the following as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

 

   March 31, 2020  December 31, 2019
   (unaudited)   
       
Accrued liabilities   766    766 
Current liabilities from discontinued operations   766    766 
Total liabilities  $766   $766 

 

14. LINE OF CREDIT

 

On November 13, 2018 the Company, Interpace Diagnostics Corporation, and Interpace Diagnostics, LLC entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “SVB Loan Agreement”) with SVB, which provides for up to $4.0 million of debt financing consisted of a term loan of up to $850,000 and a revolving line of credit based on its outstanding accounts receivable (the “Revolving Line”) of up to $3.75 million. The ability to use the term loan portion of the SVB Loan Agreement expired in 2019.

 

The amount that may be borrowed under the Revolving Line is the lower of (i) $3.75 million or (ii) 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable (as adjusted by SVB). Revolving Line outstanding amounts incur interest at a rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 0.5%. The Company is also required to pay an unused Revolving Line facility fee monthly in arrears in an amount equal to 0.35% per annum of the average unused but available portion of the Revolving Line. The Revolving Line has a maturity date three years from the effective date, or November 13, 2021.

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had drawn $1.2 million of the available funds with the Revolving Line and had $2.55 million of remaining availability. As of December 31, 2019, we were in violation of a financial covenant for which we received a waiver from SVB on March 19, 2020. The Company currently is in compliance with all covenants.

 

As of June 17, 2020, the Company has maximized its borrowing under its line of credit facility and therefore has no further availability on its credit facility; however, we are in the process of seeking to expand availability under the credit facility on terms similar to existing terms, but there can be no assurance that such credit line extension will be granted or that it will be granted on commercially reasonable and acceptable terms

16. EQUITY

 

Preferred Stock Issuance

 

Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement

 

On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement”) with 1315 Capital II, L.P., (“1315 Capital”), and Ampersand 2018 Limited Partnership (“Ampersand” and, together with 1315 Capital, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors an aggregate of $20.0 million in Series B convertible preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at an issuance price per share of $1,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, 1315 Capital agreed to purchase 19,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an aggregate purchase price of $19.0 million and Ampersand agreed to purchase 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million.

 

In addition, the Company agreed to exchange $27.0 million of the Company’s existing Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, held by Ampersand (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), represented by 270 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $100,000 per share, which represents all of the Company’s issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, for 27,000 newly issued shares of Series B Preferred Stock (such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the “Exchange Shares” and such transaction, the “Exchange”). Following the Exchange, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remained designated, authorized, issued or outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $6.00 as compared to a conversion price of $8.00 on the Series A Preferred Stock, but did not include certain rights applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock, including a six-percent (6%) dividend, and a conversion price adjustment for any failure by the Company to achieve a revenue target of $34.0 million in 2020 related to its diagnostics business or a weighted-average anti-dilution adjustment. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, Ampersand also agreed to waive all dividends and weighted-average anti-dilution adjustments accrued to date on the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

A convertible financial instrument includes a beneficial conversion feature if its conversion price is lower than the Company’s stock price at the commitment date. The Company determined that the sale of the Series B Preferred resulted in a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $2.2 million, which the Company recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital upon the sale of the Series B Preferred stock. The Company calculated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature as the difference between the estimated fair value of the common stock on January 15, 2020 of $6.79 per share and the effective conversion price per share of $6.00 multiplied by the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion. The Company fully amortized the beneficial conversion feature during the three months ended March 31, 2020 in accordance with GAAP. The beneficial conversion feature resulted in an increase in the loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020 in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, as it represents a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders.

 

ATM program

 

On September 20, 2019, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., as sales agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its Common Stock, at an aggregate offering price of up to $4.8 million (the “Shares”) through the Agent. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Agent may sell the Shares at market prices by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares, and may at any time suspend sales under the Agreement or terminate the Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Company has provided the Agent with customary indemnification rights, and the Agent will be entitled to a fixed commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Shares sold. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, and the Company is required to deliver customary closing documents and certificates in connection with sales of the Shares.

18. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Standards not yet effective

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 will simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. We do not expect that the requirements of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Federal Stimulus Programs in Connection with Coronavirus Pandemic

 

As of May 1, 2020, we received $2.1 million in advances under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) accelerated and advance payment program, as well as a $0.65 million grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS). The CMS advance will be offset against future Medicare billings of the Company, and the HSS grant is subject to certain conditions regarding its use, including developing coronavirus and serology tests. These grants and advances require certain certifications by the Company and impose specific limitations on the use of the proceeds. Based on these restrictions and limitations, the Company is treating the $0.65 million HSS grant as restricted cash until we have clarity on how the funds can be utilized by the Company based on the specific requirements of the HSS. Furthermore, although the Company initially explored the possibility of requesting a loan under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program, we elected not to complete an application because we are not certain we meet certain criteria of the program.

 

During April and early May 2020, the Company made payments totaling $888,000 to CGI for funds withheld from the Excess Consideration Note to satisfy certain adjustments and indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The funds used to satisfy this obligation were not included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. These funds and the related liability were included in Other Current Assets and Other Accrued Expenses, respectively, as of those period ends, and the settlement of the liability had no net impact on the Company’s operating cash flow or liquidity.

 

Amendment to Morrisville, North Carolina lease

 

On June 3, 2020, Interpace Pharma Solutions, Inc. (“IPS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with Southport Business Park Limited Partnership (“the Landlord”) to amend its Morrisville, North Carolina lease effective June 1, 2020 (the “Amendment”). This lease was originally entered into on June 12, 2004 by the Landlord and Cancer Genetics, Inc., the Company’s predecessor-in-interest (the “Original Lease”) and was assigned to the Company on July 15, 2019 (the “Lease Assignment”). The Original Lease together with all amendments, as assigned by the Lease Assignment constitutes the “Lease.” The Company re-affirmed its Guaranty of Lease, dated July 15, 2019, in the Amendment, guaranteeing the obligations of IPS under the Lease.

 

The Amendment provides for an extension of the term of the Lease, which consists of approximately 24,906 square feet utilized by IPS as laboratory and office space to provide its pharma solutions services. The terms of the Lease were set to expire on May 31, 2020. Pursuant to the Amendment, the term of the Lease was extended for ten additional years, commencing on June 1, 2020 and continuing until May 31, 2030 (the “Term”). The minimum rent per rentable square foot pursuant to the Amendment is $14.10 from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021, with annual increases of 3%. The minimum rent during the first year under the Amendment is $351,174.60, which is subject to a rent abatement consisting of six months of rent forgiveness totaling $175,587, provided there is no outstanding uncured event of default (as defined in the Lease). The Company shall continue to pay to Landlord additional rent, representing the Company’s proportionate share of any direct expenses, as stipulated in the Lease.

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company has two options to extend the Term for a period of five years each (the “Extended Terms”). Minimum rent during the Extended Terms, if such options are exercised by the Company, is subject to certain “market value” adjustments as provided for in the Amendment. Also pursuant to the Amendment, the Company has the irrevocable right to terminate the Lease on November 30, 2025, as well as on November 30, 2027, providing certain timely notification is given to Landlord, specified events occur (such as a merger or sale of the Company’s business), and specified termination payments are made to Landlord.

OVERVIEW

 

We are an emerging leader in enabling precision medicine principally in oncology by offering specialized services along the therapeutic value chain from early diagnosis and prognostic planning to targeted therapeutic applications through our clinical services and pharma services. Through our clinical services, we enable physicians to personalize the clinical management of each individual patient by providing genomic information to better diagnose, monitor and inform cancer treatment. Our clinical services provide clinically useful molecular diagnostic tests, bioinformatics and pathology services for evaluating risk of cancer by leveraging the latest technology in personalized medicine for improved patient diagnosis and management. Through our pharma services, we develop, commercialize and provide molecular- and biomarker-based tests and services and provide companies with customized solutions for patient stratification and treatment selection through an extensive suite of molecular and biomarker-based testing services, DNA- and RNA- extraction and customized assay development and trial design consultation. Our pharma services provide pharmacogenomics testing, genotyping, biorepository and other specialized services to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries and advances personalized medicine by partnering with pharmaceutical, academic and technology leaders to effectively integrate pharmacogenomics into drug development and clinical trial programs with the goals of delivering safer, more effective drugs to market more quickly, and improving patient care.

 

During fiscal 2019, in connection with the acquisition of our pharma services, we raised $27 million with Ampersand, a diagnostic laboratory private equity investor. This was followed by raising an additional $20 million in early 2020 led by 1315 Capital, another sophisticated private equity investor. We believe that the combination of our clinical services and acquired pharma services uniquely positions us for growth and expansion in the fast-growing biopharma sector where we can provide our unique diagnostic capabilities to a broad customer base.

 

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

 

We have taken what we believe are all necessary precautions to safeguard our employees from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We are following CDC guidance and local restrictions. All employees who do not work in a lab have been on a telecommunication work arrangement. Our employees in the lab are wearing what we believe is appropriate protective gear. There can be no assurance that key employees will not become ill or that we will able to continue to operate our labs. We have furloughed a number of employees as a result of reductions in customer demand and we have closed our administrative offices. Our labs require in-person staffing and as of the date of this report, we have been able to successfully operate our labs though a combination of social distancing, managing lab scheduling and protective equipment. Our management, finance staff and sales personnel have generally been able to successfully work remotely. As of June 15, 2020 we began allowing general and administrative staff to return to their respective offices on a limited basis.

 

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations continues to depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus outbreak. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally has adversely affecting global economies and financial markets resulting in an economic downturn which could materially and adversely impact our operations including, without limitation, the functioning of our laboratories, the availability of supplies including reagents, the progress and data collection of our pharma services, customer demand and travel and employee health and availability.

 

37
 

 

We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic will also adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and possibly beyond. Our fiscal 2020 first quarter revenue was impacted by lower than expected clinical service volume throughout March 2020, which we believe has resulted from the temporary reduction in non-essential testing procedures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, we did reduce overall costs to match the lower volumes in the labs.

 

However, as of the date of this Report, our overall business is still down approximately 30% from our run rate before the pandemic. We have continued to add resources to support the increased volume consistent with the changing environment. However, as we rebuild our cost structure to support the improved volume, there is risk that the anticipated volume growth will not materialize as planned and we will be required to adjust accordingly.

 

To optimize the pharma services lab operations we are transitioning lab work from Rutherford, NJ to our facility in Morrisville, NC. We will be investing several million dollars to facilitate the move, transfer personnel, build out facilities and validate processes over the next several months. We believe this investment and transition will result in reduced operating costs in the future: however, there is no guarantee we will be as successful with the move or the benefits expected thereof as we currently plan.

 

All of our labs are currently operating and we believe we are appropriately staffed for the volume of work. At this time, we do not anticipate any lab closures beyond temporary work stoppages from time to time to clean and disinfect the labs. Lab supplies including reagents have been secured to mitigate any potential supply chain issues for the foreseeable future and we are not observing any shortages due to supply chain issues. Our third party clinical services billing and collections company has taken steps to continue operations remotely. There have been indications that payer processing may slow down but so far there has been little or no material impact to our collections.

 

As of May 2020, we are in the process of launching a new product line of antibody testing for the COVID-19 virus. Validation is complete; we have acquired acceptable kits and reference samples and are now offering this testing to our employees and customers. The serological, or antibody, test measures the amount of antibodies present in the blood. In response to an infection, such as COVID-19, the body develops an overall immune response to fight the infection. One component of the immune system’s response is the development of antibodies that attach to the virus and help eliminate it. Antibody tests detect the body’s immune response to the infection caused by the virus rather than detecting the virus itself. The FDA has issued guidance allowing companies to market serological tests that have been validated following notification to FDA. Validated antibody tests offered under the policy should, among other things, include in test reports language explaining that negative results do not rule out COVID-19 infection and that follow-up testing with a molecular diagnostic should be considered to rule out infection. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenue or benefit from these efforts.

 

Additional Reimbursement Coverage During 2020

 

Reimbursement progress is key for any molecular diagnostic company. We have been successful to date in expanding the reimbursement of our products in 2020. Specifically, the most significant progress we have made regarding payers to date in 2020 is as follows:

 

In February 2020, we announced an increase in Medicare reimbursement for our ThyraMIR® test from $1,800 to $3,000, retroactive to January 1, 2020, reflecting a re-evaluation of the technical and clinical performance of the test relative to other molecular tests in the market and their respective prices.
   
In March 2020, we announced we had entered into a contract with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts making ThyGeNEXT® and ThyraMIR® tests covered in-network services for their more than 3 million members in Massachusetts and across New England.

 

38
 

 

In March 2020, we announced we had entered into a contract with CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield, making ThyGeNEXT® and ThyraMIR® tests covered in-network services for their more than 3.3 million members in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia.
   
In March 2020, we announced we had entered into a contract with Premera Blue Cross, making ThyGeNEXT® and ThyraMIR® tests covered in-network services for their more than 2 million members in Washington State and Alaska.
   
In April 2020, we executed an agreement with Avalon Healthcare Solutions (Avalon), a laboratory benefit manager representing numerous health plans. Our agreement with Avalon offers us in-network status to approximately 5.8 million lives covered by the following health plans: Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina, South Carolina, Kansas City and Vermont, and Capital Blue Cross of Central Pennsylvania.
   
In April 2020, we executed a contract with Blue Cross of Idaho making ThyGeNEXT® and ThyraMIR® tests covered in-network services for their more than 576 thousand members.
   
In May 2020, we executed a contract with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Clinical services derive its revenues from the performance of its proprietary assays or tests. The Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled upon completion, review and release of test results to the customer. The Company subsequently bills third-party payers or direct-bill payers for the tests performed. Under Accounting Standards Codification 606, revenue is recognized based on the estimated transaction price or net realizable value (“NRV”), which is determined based on historical collection rates by each payer category for each proprietary test offered by the Company. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, for all third party and direct-bill payers and proprietary tests, 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.

 

For our clinical services, we regularly review the ultimate amounts received from the third-party and direct-bill payers and related estimated reimbursement rates and adjust the NRV’s and related contractual allowances accordingly. If actual collections and related NRV’s vary significantly from our estimates, we adjust the estimates of contractual allowances, which would affect net revenue in the period such variances become known.

 

For our pharma services customers, performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time as the Company processes samples delivered by the customer. Project level activities, including study setup and project management, are satisfied over the life of the contract. Revenues are recognized at a point in time when the test results or other deliverables are reported to the customer.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

For our pharma services, project level fee revenue is recognized as deferred revenue and recorded at fair value. It represents payments received in advance of services rendered and is recognized ratably over the life of the contract.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs associated with operating our laboratories and other costs directly related to our tests. Personnel costs, which constitute the largest portion of cost of services, include all labor related costs, such as salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits and payroll taxes for laboratory personnel. Other direct costs include, but are not limited to, laboratory supplies, certain consulting expenses, royalty expenses, and facility expenses.

Revenue, net

 

Consolidated revenue, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased by $3.0 million, or 51%, to $9.1 million, compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was principally attributable to our acquisition of our pharma services business in 2019. Our first quarter revenue was impacted by lower than expected clinical service volume throughout March 2020, which we believe has resulted from the temporary reduction in non-essential testing procedures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Consolidated cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $6.1 million, as compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased to 66% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to 44% in the comparable same period in 2019. This increase as a percentage of revenue can be primarily attributed to the lower margins associated with pharma services.

 

Gross profit

 

Consolidated gross profit was approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The gross profit percentage decreased from 56% in the first quarter of 2019 to 33% for the first quarter of 2020. This decrease can be attributed to the lower margins associated with pharma services mentioned above and the reduction in net revenue from clinical services.

Sales and marketing expense

 

Sales and marketing expense was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, or 27% as a percentage of net revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, sales and marketing expense was $2.4 million, or 40% as a percentage of net revenue. The increase in sales and marketing expense primarily reflects the addition of sales and marketing costs associated with pharma services.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development expense was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with the acquired pharma services. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expense stayed the same at approximately 9% in both periods.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $4.9 million as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with the acquired pharma services.

 

Acquisition related amortization expense

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, we recorded amortization expense of $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, which is related to intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions. The increase is related to our acquisition of our pharma services in 2019 and the associated intangible assets.

 

Operating loss

 

Operating loss from continuing operations was $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase can be attributed to the operating loss associated with our pharma services as well as the reduced revenue and gross profit in our clinical services.

 

Provision for income taxes

 

Income tax expense was approximately $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Income tax expense for both periods was primarily driven by minimum state and local taxes.

 

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax

 

We had a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $0.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had an operating loss of $6.4 million. As of March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.4 million, total current assets of $28.1 million and current liabilities of $15.7 million. Currently, the Company has no further availability on its credit facility, but is in the process of completing an agreement with SVB to expand the credit facility. No assurance can be given that such an expansion agreement will be entered into.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $7.1 million. The main component of cash used in operating activities was our net loss of $6.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $3.0 million, all of which was used in continuing operations. The main component of cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was the net loss of $3.4 million.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, there was cash provided from financing activities of $18.2 million, $19.5 million which resulted from the issuance of Preferred Stock in January 2020, $0.4 million from sales of common stock, and was partially offset by $1.8 million in a net repayment of funds under our revolving line of credit with SVB. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, there was cash provided from financing activities of $6.0 million which resulted from the issuance of common stock in our underwritten public offering completed in January 2019.

 

In September 2019, we entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., as sales agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock in an aggregate offering price of up to $4.8 million through the Agent. See Note 16, Equity of the notes to the financial statements for more details. In January 2020, 80,341 shares (as adjusted for the reverse stock split) of common stock were sold for net proceeds of approximately $0.4 million.

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had drawn $1.2 million of the $3.75 million of available funds under its Revolving Line with SVB. As of June 17, 2020, we had no funds available on the Revolving Line because we were fully drawn.

 

In January 2020, we sold 20,000 preferred shares to investors, led by 1315 Capital, for net proceeds of approximately $19.5 million; see Note 16, Equity of the footnotes to the financial statements for more detail.

 

As of June 17, 2020, we received $2.1 million in advances under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) accelerated and advance payment program, as well as a $0.65 million grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS). The CMS advance will be offset against future Medicare billings of the Company, and the HSS grant is subject to certain conditions regarding its use, including developing coronavirus and serology tests. These grants and advances require certain certifications by the Company and impose specific limitations on the use of the proceeds. Based on these restrictions and limitations, the Company is treating the $0.65 million HSS grant as restricted cash until we have clarity on how the funds can be utilized by the Company based on the specific requirements of the HSS. Furthermore, although the Company initially explored the possibility of requesting a loan under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program, we elected not to complete an application because we are not certain we meet certain criteria of the program.

 

During April and early May 2020, the Company made payments totaling $888,000 to CGI for funds withheld from the Excess Consideration Note to satisfy certain adjustments and indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The funds used to satisfy this obligation were not included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. These funds and the related liability were included in Other Assets and Other Current Liabilities, respectively, as of those period ends, and the settlement of the liability had no net impact on the Company’s operating cash flow or liquidity.

 

We do not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations for the year ending December 31, 2020. We intend to meet our ongoing capital needs by using our available cash, proceeds under the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, additional borrowings under the Line of Credit as well as increasing our line of credit limit as a result of the additional accounts receivable acquired in July 2019 as part of our acquisition of pharma services (which requires a modification to the bank agreement and approval by SVB which cannot be assured, revenue growth and margin improvement, collecting accounts receivable, containing costs as well as exploring other financing options. Our planned capital expenditures over the next twelve months currently includes several million dollars to be utilized in consolidating our laboratories, which includes equipment purchases, calibration and testing costs, moving and other related costs, and leasehold improvements. Management believes that the Company has sufficient cash on hand and available to sustain operations through at least June 30, 2021. However, in the event the Company is unable to maintain its Nasdaq listing for its common stock due to a failure to meet minimum stockholder equity requirements as a result of the classification of its preferred stock as temporary equity and the amortization and impairment of certain intangible assets, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted. Therefore, there is no guarantee that additional capital can be raised to fund our future operations.

Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we attempt to minimize any effects of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costs and whenever possible, seeking to insure that billing rates reflect increases in costs due to inflation.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the then CEO and CFO concluded at that time that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Subsequent to this evaluation and in light of the restatement of the Company’s condensed financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 relating to the amortization and the impairment of certain intangible assets referenced in Note 1, Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company’s management, with the participation of the CEO and the CFO, has reevaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020, including whether the errors identified were the result of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, management has identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to properly identifying all the events that could trigger an asset impairment. The Company did not properly amend policies and procedures associated with its valuation process for asset impairment, specifically for intangible assets, and as a result failed to develop appropriate control activities to adequately respond to the triggering events identified. As a result, the CEO and CFO concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective March 31, 2020 as a result of this material weakness.

 

Remediation Plan - The Company plans to amend its control activities designed to mitigate the significant risks identified, including updating its policies and procedures regarding the recognition of asset impairments, specifically to review the procedures identifying and considering all outside triggering events that can cause such impairments. The Company believes implementation of these processes and appropriate testing of their effectiveness will remediate this material weakness.

 

Reference should be made to our Form 10-K for additional information regarding discussion of the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures.

 

Changes in internal controls

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information

 

As disclosed in Item 8.01 of the May 15th 8-K and in the Company’s definitive proxy statement, as filed with the SEC on June 10, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”), the Company plans to hold its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) on July 9, 2020 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The 2020 Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual format only, via the Internet, with no physical in-person meeting. Additional details regarding the location via the Internet and matters to be voted on at the 2020 Annual Meeting are available in the Proxy Statement.

 

The Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”) was held on October 10, 2019. Because the date of the 2020 Annual Meeting represents a change of more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the 2019 Annual Meeting, the Company disclosed in the May 15th 8-K a new deadline for the submission of stockholder proposals. In accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) of the Exchange Act and consistent with the Amended and Restated ByLaws of the Company, effective November 12, 2019, the Company informed stockholders that a proposal or notice on Schedule 14N under Rule 14a-18 under the Exchange Act (i) intended to be included in the Proxy Statement under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) intended to be presented at the 2020 Annual Meeting other than by inclusion in the Proxy Statement, must have been received by the Company on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 28, 2020 to be considered timely. Any proposal or nomination received after such date will be considered untimely.
