Substantial Doubt about Going Concern [Text Block] |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and that contemplates the continuity of operations, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of
December 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 million, net accounts receivable of $2.2 million, current assets of $4.2 million and current liabilities of $16.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $8.3 million and cash used in operating activities was $8.9 million. On December 22, 2016, the Company completed a registered direct public offering, which resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.9 million, (net proceeds of $1.7 million after expenses). In 2017, the Company closed on three equity offerings raising gross proceeds of $12.2 million. See Note 19, Subsequent Events, of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.The Company also entered into a Credit Agreement with SCM Specialty Finance Opportunities Fund, L.P. on September 28, 2016 as described further below, on which it has not yet drawn.and may not be able to draw down any funds in the near future. The Company also anticipates operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future due to, among other things, costs related to its commercial operations, developing products and product candidates, right sizing and reorganizing its administrative organization and winding down activities and managing obligations related to its discontinued operations. On September 28, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Company and its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, Interpace Diagnostics, LLC (“Interpace LLC”) and Interpace Diagnostics Corporation (“IDC” and together with Interpace LLC, its “Subsidiaries”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with SCM Specialty Finance Opportunities Fund, L.P. (the “Lender”). Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide a revolving loan (the “Loan”) to the Company in the maximum principal amount of $1.2 million (“Facility Cap”). The maturity date of the Loan is September 28, 2018. The Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.75%, payable in cash monthly in arrears. The interest rate will be increased by 5.0% in the event of a default under the Credit Agreement. Events of default under the Credit Agreement, some of which are subject to certain cure periods, include a failure to pay or perform obligations when due, the making of a material misrepresentation to the Lender, the rendering of certain judgments or decrees against the Company and its Subsidiaries and the initiation, voluntarily or involuntarily, of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding against the Company or its Subsidiaries. Also on the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries acknowledged and agreed to an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) by and between the Lender and the RedPath Equityholder Representative pursuant to which the Lender has a first lien security interest on all of the accounts receivable (and related intangibles) of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the RedPath Equityholder Representative has a second lien security interest, subordinated to the Lender, on all the accounts receivables (and related intangibles) of the Company and its Subsidiaries. In addition, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, the RedPath Equityholder Representative has a first lien security interest on all other assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Lender has no lien with respect to such other assets. As discussed below, the RedPath Equityholder Representative assigned all of its rights, title and interest in the RedPath Note, including, but not limited to, its security interest in all of our assets and the assets of the Company subsidiaries, to the Investor in connection with the consummation of the sale of the RedPath Note to the Investor. The Company agreed to pay certain out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the Credit Agreement and related documents, the administration of the Loan and related documents and the enforcement or protection of the Lender’s rights. The Lender is also entitled to: (a) a $12,000 origination fee; (b) a monthly unused line fee equal to the amount which is one -twelfth of one percent (0.083%) of the difference between (i) the outstanding balance of the Loan during the preceding month, and (ii) the Facility Cap on the date of determination; (c) a monthly collateral management fee equal to one -sixth of one percent (0.1666%) of the average daily balance under the Credit Agreement outstanding during the preceding month; and (d) a termination fee equal to (i) two percent (2%) of the Facility Cap if the Credit Agreement is terminated before the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “First Anniversary”), or (ii) one percent (1%) of the Facility Cap if the Credit Agreement is terminated after the First Anniversary. The Company must also pay certain fees in the event that (a) the amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement exceeds the availability under the Credit Agreement’s borrowing base, and (b) receivables are not properly deposited in the appropriate lockbox account.The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties in favor of the Lender and certain covenants, including, among other things, financial covenants relating to loan turnover rates, liquidity and revenue targets. As of March 27, 2017 the Company had not borrowed any funds under the Credit Agreement and funds may not be available to the Company for the forseeable future. On March 23, 2017, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), with an institutional investor (the “Investor”). Prior to the Company entering into the Exchange Agreement, the Investor acquired that certain Non-Negotiable Subordinated Secured Promissory Note, dated as of October 31, 2014, as amended (the “RedPath Note”), issued by the Company and the Company’s subsidiary, Interpace, LLC, in favor of RedPath Equityholder Representative, LLC (the “RedPath Equityholder Representative”) on behalf of the former equityholders of RedPath. The RedPath Note, which was entered into in connection with the Company’s acquisition of RedPath in October 2014, had an aggregate principal amount of $9,336,250 outstanding and was acquired by the Investor for $8,869,437.50. The RedPath Equityholder Representative assigned all of its rights, title and interest in the RedPath Note to the Investor, including, but not limited to, its security interest in all of the assets of the Company and the assets of the Company’s subsidiaries.Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company and the Investor agreed to exchange the RedPath Note for (i) a senior secured convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $5,321,662.50 (the “Exchanged Convertible Note”), which is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, in accordance with its terms, and (ii) a senior secured non-convertible note with an aggregate principal amount of $3,547,775 (the “Exchanged Non-Convertible Note” and collectively, the “Exchanged Notes”), for a combined aggregate principal amount of $8,869,437.50. The Exchanged Notes will rank senior to all of the Company’s outstanding and future indebtedness, other than the indebtedness in favor of the Company’s credit line lender and are secured by a perfected security interest in all of the existing and future assets of the Company and those of the Company’s subsidiaries. Upon the reduction of 55% of the aggregate principal amount of each of the Exchanged Notes, the Investor will release its security interest in its entirety. The Exchanged Notes mature at 125% of the face value on the fifteenth month anniversary of the closing date, or June 22, 2018, and bear interest quarterly at one and one hundredth percent (1.01%) per annum (as may be adjusted from time to time). As of
March 30, 2017, the Investor had converted approximately 80% of the Exchanged Convertible Note to common stock, converting $4,321,663 of the Exchanged Convertible Note into 1,730,534 shares of common stock.Due to the Company’s operating deficit and past due vendor debt the Company will require additional capital to meet its obligations. There is no guarantee that additional capital will be raised to fund its operations in 2017 and beyond, but the Company intends to meet its capital needs by driving revenue growth, containing costs as well as exploring other options. These liquidity factors have raised substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to attempt to raise additional equity capital by selling shares of common stock, if necessary, through one or more additional public offerings or private placements. However, the doubts raised, relating to our ability to continue as a going concern, may make investing in our securities an unattractive investment for potential investors. These factors, among others, may make it difficult to raise any additional capital.
