PART III - NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Interpace Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 (“Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period. The Company is evaluating whether there has been an impairment of the carrying value of its Barrett intangible asset and whether adjustments to recorded amortization expense may be required. The Barrett intangible asset amounted to $18.4 million and was originally recorded in 2014 when the Company’s predecessor, PDI, Inc., acquired RedPath Integrated Pathology, Inc. and relates to the Company propriety test known as BarreGEN®, an esophageal cancer risk classifier for Barrett’s Esophagus. Due to the extended coordination, evaluation and communication needed to conduct the impairment analysis and assessment of amortization expense, the analysis could not be completed on a timely basis to permit the Company to file its Form 10-Q by November 16, 2020. We believe it is possible that this analysis when completed may result in a non-cash charge to our statement of operations included in our financial statements for one or more prior fiscal years.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Form 12b-25 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including, without limitation, the Company’s expectations as to the filing of the Quarterly Report and certain of the Company’s financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially from these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause future results to differ materially from management’s current expectations include the risk that the Company will be unable to file the Quarterly Report within the extension period of five calendar days provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act, the risk that the Company will not be able to maintain its listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market in light of its failure to meet minimum stockholders’ equity requirements as of June 30, 2020 and the possible failure of the Company to file the Quarterly Report within the extension period, and the risk that the impairment adjustment, if any, could be material. The Company disclaims any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Additionally, all forward-looking statements are subject to the “Risk Factors” detailed from time to time in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 22, 2020, as amended on May 29, 2020, Current Reports on Form 8-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Because of these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. In addition, these statements speak only as of the date of this filing and, except as may be required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
