3. Going Concern

In October 2021, the Company entered into a $7.5 million revolving credit facility with Comerica Incorporated (“Comerica”)(the “Comerica Loan Agreement”). See Note 19, Revolving Line of Credit, for more details. Also in October 2021, the Company entered into an $8.0 million term loan with BroadOak Fund V, L.P. (“BroadOak”)(the “BroadOak Term Loan”), the proceeds of which were used to repay in full at their maturity the existing secured promissory note with Ampersand Capital Partners (“Ampersand”) (the “Ampersand Note”) and 1315 Capital II, L.P (“1315 Capital”)(the “1315 Capital Note”). In May 2022, the Company entered into a Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note agreement with BroadOak for an additional $2.0 million (the “Convertible Note”), which was converted into a subordinated term loan and was added to the outstanding BroadOak Term Loan balance. See Note 13, Notes Payable, for more details.

In January 2022, the Company’s registration statement for a rights offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) became effective; however, the rights offering was subsequently terminated later in January 2022 when the Company announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, issued a new billing policy whereby CMS will no longer reimburse for the use of the Company’s ThyGeNEXT^® and ThyraMIR^® tests when billed together by the same provider/supplier for the same beneficiary on the same date of service. However, on February 28, 2022, the Company announced that the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) program issued a response on behalf of CMS stating that the January 2022 billing policy reimbursement change for ThyGeNEXT^® (0245U) and ThyraMIR^® (0018U) tests has been retroactively reversed to January 1, 2022. In May 2022, the Company was notified by CMS/NCCI that processing of claims for dates of service after January 1, 2022 would be completed beginning July 1, 2022. However, on June 9, 2022, the Company was notified that Novitas re-priced ThyGeNEXT^® (0245U) from $2,919 to $806.59 retroactively effective to January 1, 2022. On July 20, 2022 the Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Tests (CDLT) Advisory Panel affirmed a gapfill price for ThyGeNEXT^® of $806.59. As a result of the ThyGeNEXT^® pricing change, the Company reduced its net realizable value, or NRV rates, for ThyGeNEXT^® Medicare billing to reflect the $806.59 pricing for tests performed during the second quarter of 2022. In addition, in order to reflect the retroactive pricing change to January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an NRV adjustment of $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2022 to reduce revenue recorded during the first quarter of 2022. Effective January 1, 2023, the gapfill price for ThyGeNEXT^® was set at $1,266.07.

Further, along with many laboratories, the Company may be affected by the Proposed Local Coverage Determination (“LCD”) DL39365, which was posted on June 9, 2022 and is currently under consideration by our local Medicare Administrative Contractor, Novitas. If finalized, this Proposed LCD, which governs “Genetic Testing for Oncology,” could impact the existing LCD for one of our molecular tests, PancraGEN^®. If Novitas restricts coverage for PancraGEN^®, the Company’s liquidity could be negatively impacted beginning in Fiscal 2023.

On August 31, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of its Pharma Solutions business for a total purchase price of $6,560,000 after adjustments. In addition, we received the earnout payment of $1,043,000. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had an operating loss from continuing operations of $3.6 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.8 million, total current assets of $12.2 million and current liabilities of $14.3 million. As of March 17, 2023, the Company had approximately $5.7 million of cash on hand, excluding restricted cash.

The Company may not generate positive cash flows from operations for the year ending December 31, 2023. The Company intends to meet its ongoing capital needs by using its available cash and availability under the Comerica Loan Agreement, as well as through targeted margin improvement; collection of accounts receivable; containment of costs; and the potential use of other financing options and other strategic alternatives. However, if the Company is unable to meet the financial covenants under the Comerica Loan Agreement, the revolving line of credit and notes payable will become due and payable immediately. As of March 27, 2023, the Company had $1.5 million available under the Loan Agreement.

The Company continues to explore various strategic alternatives, dilutive and non-dilutive sources of funding, including equity and debt financings, strategic alliances, business development and other sources in order to provide additional liquidity. With the delisting of its common stock from Nasdaq in February 2021, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to it has been adversely impacted. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such funding on terms acceptable to it.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern depends on having working capital for vendor payments, meeting short-term obligations on other accrued liabilities, and amongst other requirements, making interest payments on its debt obligations. Without positive operating margins and sufficient working capital and the ability to meet its debt obligations, our business will be jeopardized and we may not be able to continue in our current structure, if at all. Under these circumstances, the Company would likely have to consider other options, such as selling assets, raising additional debt or equity capital, cutting costs or otherwise reducing our cash requirements, or negotiating with our creditors to restructure our applicable obligations. With the proceeds received from the sale of the Pharma Solutions business, as well as the expected improvement in future operating cash flows associated with the disposition, as of the date of this filing, the Company anticipates that current cash and cash equivalents and forecasted cash receipts will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements through the next twelve months.
