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 $6.3 million and cash used in operating activities was $7.1 million.

 

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.

 

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.
