NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Tabular information in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. OVERVIEW

Nature of Business

Interpace Biosciences, Inc. ("Interpace" or the "Company") is a company that provides molecular diagnostics, bioinformatics and pathology services for evaluation of risk of cancer by leveraging the latest technology in personalized medicine for improved patient diagnosis and management. The Company develops and commercializes genomic tests and related first line assays principally focused on early detection of patients with indeterminate biopsies and at high risk of cancer using the latest technology.

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 the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Interpace Diagnostics Lab Inc., Interpace Diagnostics Corporation, 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, 2023, as filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 1, 2024 and as amended on April 26, 2024.

The 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 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, InServe Support Solutions; and TVG, Inc., its Commercial Services business unit, which was sold on December 22, 2015 and its Interpace Pharma Solutions business ("Pharma Solutions") which was sold on August 31, 2022. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

3. LIQUIDITY

In October 2021, the Company entered into a $7.5million revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank ("Comerica") (the "Comerica Loan Agreement"). In February 2024, the Company terminated the Comerica Loan Agreement. The Company did not owe anything outstanding on the line of credit at the time of termination and does not owe anything further to Comerica. See Note 16, Revolving Line of Credit. Also in October 2021, the Company entered into an $8.0million term loan with BroadOak Fund V, L.P. ("BroadOak") (the "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") and 1315 Capital II, L.P ("1315 Capital"). In May 2022, the Company entered into a Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note agreement with BroadOak for an additional $2.0million (the "Convertible Note"), which was converted into a subordinated term loan and was added to the outstanding Term Loan balance. The Term Loan has been subsequently amended. See Note 13, Notes Payable, for more details.

Along with many laboratories, the Company may be affected by the Proposed Local Coverage Determination ("LCD") DL39365, which is currently under consideration by Novitas, the Company's medical administrator contractor. If finalized, this Proposed LCD, which governs "Genetic Testing for Oncology," could impact the existing Medicare coverage for one of our molecular tests, PancraGEN^®. On June 5, 2023, the Company announced that Novitas issued the final LCD of Genetic Testing for Oncology (L39365) which if finalized, would have established non-coverage for the Company's widely used PancraGEN^® test effective July 17, 2023. On July 6, 2023, Novitas announced that it would not be implementing the final Genetic Testing for Oncology LCD (L39365) as scheduled on July 17, 2023. Novitas then issued a new virtually identical proposed LCD affecting the same companies and tests and reaching the same conclusions as noted in the previously rescinded LCD on July 27, 2023. In response, the Company participated in a public meeting presentation and submitted detailed written comments supporting the use of PancraGEN^®. The timing and content of any final implemented LCD is uncertain at this time; the process could potentially take a year or longer from issuance of the updated proposed LCD to reach a conclusion. On July 29, 2024 the Company announced that CMS granted Novitas an undefined extension to the final decision for the LCD. As a result, the Company is able to continue offering PancraGEN^® and the related Point2^® fluid chemistry tests for amylase, CEA, and glucose. In the event Novitas ultimately restricts coverage for the PancraGEN^® test, the Company's liquidity could be negatively impacted.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had operating income from continuing operations of $5.0million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.1million, total current assets of $11.1million and current liabilities of $18.8million. As of November 1, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.8million of cash and cash equivalents.

The Company intends to meet its ongoing capital needs by using its available cash, 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.

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.

On October 10, 2024, Ampersand and 1315 Capital exchanged (the "Exchange") 47,000shares of the Company's Series B convertible preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.01per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock") for 47,000shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.01per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock"). See Note 18, Subsequent Events. The Company believes that the 47,000shares of Series C Preferred Stock will constitute stockholders' equity under generally accepted accounting principles. The Exchange is the first significant step for the Company to seek an uplisting of its common stock to Nasdaq. Other steps may need to be taken in order to satisfy Nasdaq listing requirements, including meeting Nasdaq's stockholder equity and minimum bid price requirements. The Company believes that a Nasdaq listing would assist it in raising additional capital, increasing investor interest and trading volume in its common stock, and pursuing acquisitions. No assurance can be given that a Nasdaq listing will be achieved.

With the improvement in operating cash flows associated with the disposition of the Pharma Solutions business, and the Company's improved operating performance, 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 from the date of the filing of this report.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Liabilities classified as discontinued operations as of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consists of accrued expenses which are liabilities related to the former Commercial Services business unit.

The table below presents the significant components of its former Pharma Solutions business unit's results included within loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three- and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Cash used from discontinued operations, operating activities, was $20,000, and provided by investing activities was $0.4million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. There was nocash used from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. There was nodepreciation and amortization expense for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, in discontinued operations.

5. 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 credit losses, revenue recognition, unrecognized tax benefits, and asset impairments involving 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

We derive our revenues from the performance of proprietary assays or tests. The Company's performance obligation is fulfilled upon the completion, review and release of test results to the customer. We subsequently bill 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, 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, we estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using the expected value method based on historical experience.

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 affects net revenue in the period such variances become known.

Financing and Payment

For non-Medicare claims, our payment terms vary by payer category. Payment terms for direct-payers in our clinical services are typically thirty days and in our now discontinued pharma services, were 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. We bill Medicare directly for tests performed for Medicare patients and must accept Medicare's fee schedule for the covered tests as payment in full.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Customer Contract

Sales commissions are expensed in the period in which they have been earned. These costs are recorded in sales and marketing expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Accounts Receivable

The Company's accounts receivable represent unconditional rights to consideration and are generated using its clinical 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. The allowance for credit losses balance was $26,000and $0at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

		September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Lab supplies		$	1,220			$	1,227
Prepaid expenses			441				590
Other			43				24
Total other current assets		$	1,704			$	1,841

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 yearsto ten yearsin 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 Income (Loss) per Share

A reconciliation of the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01per share, used in the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

		Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
		September 30,			September 30,
		2024			2023			2024			2023
Basic weighted average number of common shares			4,393				4,319				4,380				4,313
Potential dilutive effect of stock-based awards			30				-				24				42
Diluted weighted average number
of common shares			4,423				4,319				4,404				4,355

The Company's Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, on an as converted basis into common stock of 7,833,334shares for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, and the following outstanding stock-based awards, were excluded from the computation of the effect of dilutive securities on income (loss) per share for the following periods as they would have been anti-dilutive (rounded to thousands):

		Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
		September 30,			September 30,
		2024			2023			2024			2023
Options			288				469				288				394
Restricted stock units (RSUs)			145				277				145				277
		433				746				433				671

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, warrant liability and note payable. 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.

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 September 30, 2024			Fair Value Measurements
					Fair			As of September 30, 2024
		Amount			Value			Level 1			Level 2			Level 3
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration:

		$	10,453			$	9,796			$	-			$	-			$	9,796

(1)	See Note 9, Other Accrued Expenses

In connection with the acquisition of certain assets from Asuragen, Inc., 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.

In connection with the Term Loan, the Company records the loan at fair value. The fair value of the loan is determined by a probability-weighted approach regarding the loan's change in control feature. See Note 13, Notes Payable, for more details. The fair value measurement is based on the estimated probability of a change in control and thus represents a Level 3 measurement.

A roll forward of the carrying value of the Contingent Consideration Liability and BroadOak Loan to September 30, 2024 is as follows:

														Adjustment
														to Fair
		December 31, 2023			Payments			Transferred to Accrued Expenses			Accretion/Interest Accrued			Value/ Mark to Market			September 30, 2024
Asuragen		$	453			$	-			$	(487	)		$	34			$	-			$	-
BroadOak loans			9,343				(4,100	)			-				-				445				5,688
		$	9,796			$	(4,100	)		$	(487	)		$	34			$	445			$	5,688

Certain of the Company's non-financial assets, such as intangible assets 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.

7. LEASES

The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:

		Classification on the Balance Sheet		September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record a liability for the loss. In addition to the estimated loss, the recorded liability includes probable and estimable legal costs associated with the claim or potential claim. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company's business. There is no pending litigation involving the Company at this time.

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 or services that 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. There is also the risk of employment related litigation and other litigation in the ordinary course of business.

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. OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES

Other accrued expenses consisted of the following as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

		September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Accrued royalties		$	7,235			$	6,268
Contingent consideration			-				453
Operating lease liability			305				377
Accrued sales and marketing			55				43
Accrued lab costs			233				68

Taxes payable			259				261
All others			577				490
Total other accrued expenses		$	9,033			$	8,201

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, with expiration 10 years from the date they are granted, and generally vest 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 Board members and employees generally have a three-year graded vesting period and are subject to accelerated vesting and forfeiture under certain circumstances.

There were nostock option awards issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

The Company recognized approximately $0.1million and $0.2million of stock-based compensation expense within continuing operations during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and approximately $0.2million and $0.5million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The following table has a breakout of stock-based compensation expense from continuing operations by line item.

		Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
		September 30,			September 30,
		2024			2023			2024			2023
Cost of revenue		$	-			$	13			$	4			$	39
Sales and marketing			28				31				81				92
General and administrative			58				108				133				370
Total stock compensation expense		$	86			$	152			$	218			$	501

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 income from continuing operations and the effective tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

		Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
		September 30,			September 30,
		2024			2023			2024			2023
Provision for income tax		$	4			$	4			$	12			$	12
Effective income tax rate			0.3	%			(0.8	%)			0.3	%			3.9	%

Income tax expense for both periods was primarily due to state franchise taxes.

Other long-term liabilities consisted of uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate under onesegment which is the business of developing and selling clinical services.

13. NOTES PAYABLE

BroadOak Loan

On October 29, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Term Loan with BroadOak, providing for a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $8,000,000. Funding of the Term Loan took place on November 1, 2021. The Term Loan was scheduled to mature upon the earlier of (i) October 31, 2024or (ii) the occurrence of a change in control, and bears interest at the rate of 9% per annum. The Term Loan is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company's and its subsidiaries' assets and was subordinate to the Company's $7,500,000revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank. See Note 16, Revolving Line of Credit. The Term Loan had an origination fee of 3% of the Term Loan amount, and a terminal payment equal to (i) 15% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan if the change of control occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the funding of the Term Loan, (ii) 20% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan if the change of control occurs after the first anniversary but on or prior to the second anniversary of the funding of the Term Loan and (iii) 30% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan if the change of control occurs after the second anniversary of the funding of the Term Loan, or if the Term Loan is repaid on its maturity date.

The Term Loan contains affirmative and negative restrictive covenants that are applicable from and after the date of the Term Loan advance. These restrictive covenants, which include restrictions on certain mergers, acquisitions, investments, encumbrances, etc., could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. The Term Loan also contains customary events of default.

The Company concluded that the Term Loan met the definition of a "recognized financial liability" which is an acceptable financial instrument eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10-15-4, and did not meet the definition of any of the financial instruments listed within ASC 825-10-15-5 that are not eligible for the fair value option. The Note is not convertible and does not have any component recorded to stockholders' deficit. Accordingly, the Company elected the fair value option for the Note.

In May 2022, the Company issued a convertible note to BroadOak, pursuant to which BroadOak funded a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $2.0million, which was converted into a subordinated term loan and was added to the outstanding balance of the Term Loan.

On October 24, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the "Second Amendment") with BroadOak. The primary changes to the original Term Loan were as follows:

●

The Company made a one-time payment in an aggregate amount equal to $2,500,000, on October 30, 2023 and applied the payment in full satisfaction of the $3,000,000Terminal Payment (as defined in the Term Loan). See above regarding the Terminal Payment.

	●	Effective November 1, 2023, the interest rate under the Term Loan was reduced from 9% to 8% through the maturity date of October 31, 2024or earlier, upon the occurrence of a change in control ("Loan Maturity Date").
	●	The Company had the option to request an extension of the Loan Maturity Date in writing no less than sixty days prior to the Loan Maturity Date. If BroadOak agreed to the extension, the Loan Maturity Date would automatically be extended.

On March 29, 2024, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement with BroadOak (the "Third Amendment"). The primary changes to the Second Amendment were as follows:

	●	The maturity date was extended to June 30, 2025.
	●	Beginning April 1, 2024, the Company will make $500,000monthly payments with the remaining loan balance due on the new maturity date.

The Third Amendment was treated as a debt modification which is accounted for prospectively. Since the Term Loan is carried at fair value under the fair value option, the Second Amendment did not result in any extinguishment gain or loss upon amendment, and the impact of the revised terms was incorporated into the Company's first quarter 2024 fair value calculation.

The balance of the loan outstanding at September 30, 2024 was $5.9million.

15. MEZZANINE EQUITY

Redeemable Preferred Stock

On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the "Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement") with 1315 Capital and Ampersand (collectively, the "Investors") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors an aggregate of $20.0million in Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, at an issuance price per share of $1,000("New Investment Shares"). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, 1315 Capital agreed to purchase 19,000shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an aggregate purchase price of $19.0million and Ampersand agreed to purchase 1,000shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an aggregate purchase price of $1.0million.

In addition, the Company agreed to exchange $27.0million of the Company's existing Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01per share, held by Ampersand (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), represented by 270shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $100,000per share, which represents all of the Company's issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, for 27,000newly 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, noshares of Series A Preferred Stock remained designated, authorized, issued or outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $6.00. On October 10, 2024, the Investors (as defined below) exchanged their shares of Series B Preferred Stock for shares of Series C Preferred Stock with a conversion price of $2.02. See Note 18, Subsequent Events.

Voting

On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of the Company's common stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by law or by the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Certificate of Designation"), holders of Series B Preferred Stock will vote together with the holders of common stock as a single class and on an as-converted to common stock basis.

Director Designation Rights

The Series B Certificate of Designation also provides each Investor with the following director designation rights: for so long such Investor holds at least sixty percent (60%) of the Series B Preferred Stock issued to it on the Issuance Date (as defined therein), such Investor will be entitled to elect two directors to the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), provided that one of the directors qualifies as an "independent director" under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or any successor rule or similar rule promulgated by another exchange on which the Company's securities are then listed or designated) ("Independent Director"). However, if at any time such Investor holds less than sixty percent (60%), but at least forty percent (40%), of the Series B Preferred Stock issued to them on the Issuance Date, such Investor would only be entitled to elect one director to the Board. Any director elected pursuant to the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. A vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of Series B Preferred Stock may be filled only by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting of such holders of Series B Preferred Stock or by any remaining director or directors elected by such holders of Series B Preferred Stock.

On November 15, 2023, Edward Chan, a director designated by 1315 Capital to the Board, provided notice to the Company of his resignation from the Board, effective immediately. Further, on December 7, 2023, Robert Gorman, a director designated by Ampersand to the Board, provided notice to the Company of his resignation as a director and as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately.

As of the date of this report, each of 1315 Capital and Ampersand has appointed one director to the Board, and each has not appointed a second director to the Board.

Conversion

The Series B Certificate of Designation provides that from and after the Issuance Date and subject to the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation, each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the holder into a number of shares of common stock equal to dividing the amount equal to the greater of the Stated Value of such Series B Preferred Stock, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or such amount per share as would have been payable had each such share been converted into common stock immediately prior to a liquidation, by six dollars ($6.00) (subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares). The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued through conversion of all of the New Investment Shares and Exchange Shares is 7,833,334shares (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares).

Mandatory Conversion

If the Company consummates the sale of shares of common stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act pursuant to which the price of the common stock in such offering is at least equal to twelve dollars ($12.00) (subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares) and such offering does not include warrants (or any other convertible security) and results in at least $25,000,000in proceeds, net of the underwriting discount and commissions, to the Company, and the common stock continues to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another exchange, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock, at the then effective Series B Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation).

Liquidation

Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or Deemed Liquidation (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation) (a "Liquidation"), the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders (on a pari passu basis with the holders of any class or series of preferred stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock), and before any payment will be made to the holders of common stock or any other class or series of preferred stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Series B Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value of such share of Series B Preferred Stock, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had each such share been converted into common stock immediately prior to such Liquidation.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 47,000issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively. See Note 18, Subsequent Events, for updates regarding the status of the Series B Preferred Stock.

16. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

On October 13, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Comerica Loan Agreement with Comerica, providing for a revolving credit facility of up to $7,500,000(the "Credit Facility"). The Company could use the proceeds of the Credit Facility for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

On October 6, 2023, effective September 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment to its Loan and Security Agreement (the "Fifth Amendment to the Comerica Loan Agreement") with Comerica providing for a revolving credit facility of up to $5,000,000.

In February 2024, the Company terminated the Comerica Loan Agreement. The Company did not owe anything outstanding on the line of credit at the time of termination and does not owe anything further to Comerica.

17. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815 - 40), ("ASU 2020-06"). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity's own equity. The ASU 2020-06 amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This was adopted on January 1, 2024 and there was no impact upon adoption.

Accounting Pronouncements Pending

In November 2023, the FASB modified authoritative guidance within the codification's Segment Reporting topic (ASC 280), which enhanced the disclosure requirements for significant segment expenses and other segment items. The authoritative guidance will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt the standard as of the effective date.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard on its financial statements.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 10, 2024, the Company and the Investors entered into an Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") pursuant to which the Investors exchanged (the "Exchange") an aggregate of 47,000shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, comprised of 28,000shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by Ampersand and 19,000shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by 1315 Capital, which represented all of the Company's issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, for 47,000newly created shares of Series C Preferred Stock, at an issuance price per share of $1,000. In the Exchange, Ampersand received 28,000shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 1315 received 19,000shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $2.02per share of common stock (subject to further adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares) which was the closing price of the common stock on the date of the Exchange Agreement. The Series C Preferred Stock does not have a liquidation preference over the common stock in the event of a sale or dissolution of the Company, does not have director designation rights and includes limited customary protective provisions. The Series B Preferred Stock had a conversion price of $6.00per share of common stock and included additional protective provisions not applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock, including (i) limitations on the Board to declare dividends, (ii) director designation rights for each of the Investors, (iii) liquidation rights of holders upon "deemed liquidation" events, including a liquidation preference over the common stock, (iv) limitations on the ability to authorize, issue or create debt securities, (v) limitations on the ability to enter into mergers or acquisitions and (vi) limitations on the ability to conduct public offerings of the Company's common stock.

OVERVIEW

We are a fully integrated commercial company that provides molecular diagnostics, bioinformatics and pathology services for evaluation of risk of cancer by leveraging the latest technology in personalized medicine for improved patient diagnosis and management. We develop and commercialize genomic tests and related first line assays principally focused on early detection of patients with indeterminate biopsies and at high risk of cancer using the latest technology.

Impact of Our Reliance on CMS and Novitas

Along with many laboratories, we may be affected by the Proposed LCD DL39365, which 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 Medicare coverage for one of our molecular tests, PancraGEN^®. On June 5, 2023 we announced that Novitas issued the final LCD of Genetic Testing for Oncology (L39365) which, if finalized, would have established non-coverage for the Company's widely used PancraGEN^® test effective July 17, 2023. On July 6, 2023, Novitas announced that it would not be implementing the final Genetic Testing for Oncology LCD (L39365) as scheduled on July 17, 2023. Novitas then issued a new virtually identical proposed LCD affecting the same companies and tests and reaching the same conclusions as noted in the previously rescinded LCD on July 27, 2023. In response, the Company participated in a public meeting presentation and submitted detailed written comments supporting the use of PancraGEN^®. The timing and content of any final implemented LCD is uncertain at this time; the process could potentially take a year or longer from issuance of the updated proposed LCD to reach a conclusion. On July 29, 2024 the Company announced that CMS granted Novitas an undefined extension to the final decision for the LCD. As a result, we are able to continue offering PancraGEN^® and the related Point2^® fluid chemistry tests for amylase, CEA, and glucose. In the event Novitas ultimately restricts coverage for the PancraGEN^® test, the Company's liquidity could be negatively impacted.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration Regulation of LDTs

While subject to oversight by CMS through its enforcement of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 ("CLIA"), the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has claimed regulatory authority over laboratories that produce LDTs, a type of in vitro diagnostic test that is designed, manufactured and used within a single laboratory. The FDA has regulatory responsibility over, among other areas, instruments, test kits, reagents and other devices used in clinical laboratories to perform diagnostic testing in the United States.

Historically, the FDA has exercised enforcement discretion over most LDTs. On April 29, 2024, however, the FDA published a final rule on LDTs, in which the FDA outlines its plans to end enforcement discretion for many LDTs in five stages over a four-year period. In Phase 1 (effective May 6, 2025), clinical laboratories running LDTs will be required to comply with medical device (adverse event) reporting and correction/removal reporting requirements, as well as requirements for maintenance of complaint files under the FDA's quality systems regulation (QSR). In Phase 2 (effective May 6, 2026), clinical laboratories will be required to comply with all other device requirements (e.g., registration/listing, labeling, investigational use), except for the remaining QSR requirements and premarket review. In Phase 3 (effective May 6, 2027), clinical laboratories will be required to comply with all remaining applicable QSR requirements. In Phase 4 (effective November 6, 2027), clinical laboratories will be required to comply with premarket review requirements for high-risk tests (i.e., tests subject to the premarket approval (PMA) requirement). Finally, in Phase 5 (effective May 6, 2028), clinical laboratories will be required to comply with premarket review requirements for moderate- and low-risk tests (i.e., tests subject to the de novo or 510(k) requirement).

Under the final rule, several types of tests will be eligible for some degree of continued enforcement discretion. For example, LDTs approved by the New York State Department of Health will be exempt from premarket review requirements but will remain subject to the requirements of Phases 1 through 3. Similarly, LDTs first marketed prior to May 6, 2024 that are not subsequently modified, or are modified only in certain limited ways, will be exempt from the premarket review and most quality systems requirements, but will remain subject to the requirements of Phases 1 and 2. The FDA notes, however, that it retains discretion to pursue enforcement action for violations of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act at any time and intends to do so when appropriate. The FDA further explains that it may update any of the enforcement discretion policies set forth in the final rule as circumstances warrant or if the circumstances that inform those policies change, consistent with the FDA's good guidance practices.

To the extent the FDA ultimately regulates certain LDTs, our LDTs may be subject to certain additional regulatory requirements. Complying with the FDA's requirements can be expensive, time-consuming, and subject us to significant or unanticipated delays. Insofar as we may be required to obtain premarket clearance or approval to perform or continue performing an LDT, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such authorization. Even if we obtain regulatory clearance or approval where required, such authorization may not be for the intended uses that we believe are commercially attractive or are critical to the commercial success of our tests. As a result, the application of the FDA's requirements to our tests could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in a range of enforcement actions by the FDA, such as warning letters, civil monetary penalties, injunctions, criminal prosecution, recall or seizure, operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of operations, and denial of or challenges to applications for clearance or approval, as well as significant adverse publicity.

Legislative proposals have also been introduced that, if enacted, would potentially supersede the final rule. In March 2017, members of Congress posted a discussion draft of "The Diagnostics Accuracy and Innovation Act". The discussion draft included language that, if enacted, would have established a new regulatory framework for the oversight of in vitro clinical tests ("IVCTs") which include LDTs. In March 2020, members of Congress introduced "The Verifying Accurate, Leading-edge IVCT Development (VALID) Act." This bill has been re-introduced in substantially similar forms over the years, and, most recently in March 2023. Under the most recent version of the VALID Act, a risk-based approach would be used to regulate IVCTs while grandfathering many existing IVCTs from certain requirements. Each test will be classified as high-risk, moderate-risk, or low-risk. Pre-market review will be required for high-risk tests. To market a high-risk IVCT, reasonable assurance of analytical and clinical validity for the intended use must be established. Under VALID, a precertification process would be established which will allow a laboratory to establish that the facilities, methods, and controls used in the development of certain IVCTs meet quality system requirements. If pre-certified, IVCTs falling within the scope of a certification order will not be subject to pre-market review. The new regulatory framework would include quality control and post-market reporting requirements. The FDA would have the authority to withdraw from the market IVCTs if there is a reasonable likelihood that such tests will cause death or serious adverse health consequences (among other criteria). Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in enforcement action by the FDA, such as fines, product suspensions, warning letters, recalls, injunctions and other civil and criminal sanctions. However, we cannot predict if this (or any other bill) will be enacted in its current (or any other) form and cannot quantify the effect of such proposals on our business.

Whether via statute, regulation, or sub-regulatory action, any FDA effort to end enforcement discretion for LDTs is likely to continue to be met with resistance by certain sections of industry. Multiple lawsuits have been filed challenging the April 2024 LDT final rule, in which the plaintiffs argue that the FDA lacks authority to regulate LDTs as medical devices. We cannot predict the likelihood of success of these or any other such actions, nor can we quantify the effect of such efforts on our business.

Revenue Recognition

Clinical services derive revenues from the performance of proprietary assays or tests. Our performance obligation is fulfilled upon completion, review and release of test results to the customer, at which time we bill third-party payers or direct-bill payers for the tests performed. Under Accounting Standards Codification 606, revenue is recognized based upon 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. To the extent that the transaction price includes variable consideration, for all third party and direct-bill payers and proprietary tests, we estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using the expected value method based on historical experience.

The ultimate amounts received from the third-party and direct-bill payers and related estimated reimbursement rates are regularly reviewed and we 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 affects net revenue in the period such variances become known.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs associated with operating our laboratory 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

Revenue, net for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $3.2 million, or 35%, to $12.3 million, compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net revenue was largely driven by increased test volumes as compared to the prior year.

Cost of revenue

Consolidated cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $4.8 million, as compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased to 39% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 45% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was due to the increase in revenue mentioned above.

Gross profit

Consolidated gross profit was approximately $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The gross profit percentage increased to 61% for the three months ended September 30, 3024 from 55% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. This improvement was primarily due to the increase in revenue discussed above, which resulted in fixed costs becoming a smaller percentage of cost of revenue which in turn improved the gross profit percentage.

Sales and marketing expense

Sales and marketing expense was approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to increased headcount and related employee costs. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense was 23% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 28% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Research and development

Research and development expense was approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expense was approximately 2% in both periods.

General and administrative

General and administrative expense was approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase can be primarily attributed to an increase in employee costs and legal and professional fees during the quarter.

Acquisition amortization expense

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded amortization expense of approximately $0.2 million, which was related to intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions. There was no amortization expense during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Operating income (loss)

Operating income from continuing operations was $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to an operating loss from continuing operations of $0.02 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in operating income from continuing operations was primarily attributable to the increases in revenue and gross profit discussed above.

Provision for income taxes

Income tax expense was approximately $4,000 for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the three months ended September 30, 2023.

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 September 30, 2024 and for the three months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

The gross profit percentage was approximately 61% for the nine months ended September 30, 3024 and 59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the increase in revenue discussed above.

Sales and marketing expense

Sales and marketing expense was approximately $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased employee costs. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense was approximately 25% in both periods.

Research and development

Research and development expense was approximately $0.5 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expense decreased to 1% from 2% in the comparable prior year period.

General and administrative

General and administrative expense was approximately $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease can be primarily attributed to a decrease in legal and related professional fees.

Acquisition amortization expense

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded amortization expense of approximately $0.8 million, which was related to intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions. There was no amortization expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Operating income

Operating income from continuing operations was $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to operating income from continuing operations of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in operating income from continuing operations was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and gross profit discussed above.

Provision for income taxes

Income tax expense was approximately $12,000 for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax

We had a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") results provided throughout this document, we have provided certain non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate the results of our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP financial measures, are useful to both management and investors in analyzing our ongoing business and operating performance. We believe that providing the non-GAAP information to investors, in addition to the GAAP presentation, allows investors to view our financial results in the way that management views financial results.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we discuss Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to measure cash flow of the ongoing business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income or loss from continuing operations, plus depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock based compensation, interest and taxes, and other non-cash expenses including change in fair value of notes payable and warrant liability. The table below includes a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In October 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with BroadOak, providing for a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $8,000,000 (the "Term Loan"). Funding of the Term Loan took place on November 1, 2021. The Term Loan was scheduled to mature upon the earlier of (i) October 31, 2024 or (ii) the occurrence of a change in control, and bears interest at the rate of 9% per annum. The Term Loan is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company's and its subsidiaries' assets and was subordinate to the Company's former $7,500,000 revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank. The Term Loan has an origination fee of 3% of the Term Loan amount, and a terminal payment equal to (i) 15% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan if the change of control occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the funding of the Term Loan, (ii) 20% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan if the change of control occurs after the first anniversary but on or prior to the second anniversary of the funding of the Term Loan and (iii) 30% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan if the change of control occurs after the second anniversary of the funding of the Term Loan, or if the Term Loan is repaid on its maturity date. Upon receipt of the term loan, the proceeds were used to repay in full at their maturity the notes extended by Ampersand and 1315 Capital discussed above. See Note 13, Notes Payable, for more details. In May 2022, the Company issued a Convertible Note to BroadOak, pursuant to which BroadOak funded a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million which was converted into a subordinated term loan and was added to the outstanding balance of the Term Loan. See Note 13, Notes Payable, for more details.

On October 24, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with BroadOak (the "Second Amendment"). The primary changes to the Term Loan were as follows:

	●	The Company made a one-time payment in an aggregate amount equal to $2,500,000, on October 30, 2023 and applied the payment in full satisfaction of the $3,000,000 Terminal Payment (as defined in the Term Loan). See Note 13, Notes Payable, regarding the Terminal Payment.
	●	Effective November 1, 2023, the interest rate under the Term Loan was reduced from 9% to 8% through the maturity date of October 31, 2024 or earlier, upon the occurrence of a change in control ("Loan Maturity Date").
	●	The Company has the option to request an extension of the Loan Maturity Date in writing no less than sixty days prior to the Loan Maturity Date. If BroadOak agreed to the extension, the Loan Maturity Date would automatically be extended.

On March 29, 2024, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with BroadOak (the "Third Amendment"), extending the loan maturity date to June 30, 2025. The primary changes to the Second Amendment were as follows:

	●	The maturity date was extended to June 30, 2025.
	●	Beginning April 1, 2024, the Company will make $500,000 monthly payments with the remaining loan balance due on the new maturity date.

The Term Loan contains affirmative and negative restrictive covenants, including restrictions on certain mergers, acquisitions, investments and encumbrances which could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. The Term Loan also contains customary events of default. The balance of the loan at September 30, 2024 was $5.9 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had operating income from continuing operations of $5.0 million. As of the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.1 million, total current assets of $11.1 million and current liabilities of $18.8 million. As of November 1, 2024, we had approximately $1.8 million of cash and cash equivalents.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $3.5 million. The main component of cash provided by operating activities was our net income of $3.8 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $2.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $2.6 million. The main component of cash provided by operating activities included non-cash expenses of $2.0 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.7 million which pertained to upgrades to the lab and the purchase of lab equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $0.1 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash used in financing activities was $4.1 million, which were payments made on the BroadOak Term Loan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in financing activities was $2.5 million, which were payments made on the Comerica Revolving Line of Credit.

We intend to meet our ongoing capital needs by using our available cash generated from operations 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.

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 Company's delisting of its common stock from Nasdaq in February 2021, our ability to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company has been adversely impacted. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such funding on terms acceptable to the Company.

On October 10, 2024, Ampersand and 1315 Capital exchanged 47,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for 47,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the "Exchange"). See Note 18, Subsequent Events. The Company believes that the 47,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock will constitute stockholders' equity under generally accepted accounting principles. The Exchange is the first significant step for the Company to seek an uplisting of its common stock to Nasdaq. Other steps may need to be taken in order to satisfy Nasdaq listing requirements, including meeting Nasdaq's stockholder equity and minimum bid price requirements. The Company believes that a Nasdaq listing would assist it in raising additional capital, increasing investor interest and trading volume in its common stock, and pursuing acquisitions. No assurance can be given that a Nasdaq listing will be achieved.

Further, along with many laboratories, we may be affected by the Proposed LCD DL39365, which 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 Medicare coverage for one of our molecular tests, PancraGEN^®. On June 5, 2023 we announced that Novitas issued the final LCD of Genetic Testing for Oncology (L39365) which, if finalized, would have established non-coverage for the Company's widely used PancraGEN^® test effective July 17, 2023. On July 6, 2023, Novitas announced that it would not be implementing the final Genetic Testing for Oncology LCD (L39365) as scheduled on July 17, 2023. Novitas then issued a new virtually identical proposed LCD affecting the same companies and tests and reaching the same conclusions as noted in the previously rescinded LCD on July 27, 2023. In response, the Company participated in a public meeting presentation and submitted detailed written comments supporting the use of PancraGEN^®. The timing and content of any final implemented LCD is uncertain at this time; the process could potentially take a year or longer from issuance of the updated proposed LCD to reach a conclusion. On July 29, 2024 the Company announced that CMS granted Novitas an undefined extension to the final decision for the LCD. As a result, we are able to continue offering PancraGEN^® and the related Point2^® fluid chemistry tests for amylase, CEA, and glucose. In the event Novitas ultimately restricts coverage for the PancraGEN^® test, the Company's liquidity could be negatively impacted.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for the periods presented. However, inflation and supply chain disruptions, whether caused by restrictions or slowdowns in shipping or logistics, increases in demand for certain goods used in our operations, or otherwise, could impact our operations in the near term.

Critical Accounting Policies

See Note 5, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 17, Recent Accounting Standards to the Interim Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding newly adopted and recent accounting pronouncements. See also Note 1, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as amended, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes to such critical accounting policies. We believe our most critical accounting policies include accounting for revenue recognition, leases, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Subsequent Event

On October 10th, 2024, the Company, Ampersand and 1315 Capital (the "Investors") entered into an Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") pursuant to which the Investors exchanged an aggregate of 47,000 shares of the Company's existing Series B Preferred Stock of the Company comprised of 28,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by Ampersand and 19,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by 1315 Capital, which represented all of the Company's issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, for 47,000 newly created shares of Series C Preferred Stock, at an issuance price per share of $1,000. In the Exchange, Ampersand received 28,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 1315 received 19,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $2.02 per share of common stock (subject to further adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares) which was the closing price of the common stock on the date of the Exchange Agreement. The Series C Preferred Stock does not have a liquidation preference over the common stock in the event of a sale or dissolution of the Company, does not have director designation rights and includes limited customary protective provisions. The Series B Preferred Stock had a conversion price of $6.00 per share of common stock and included additional protective provisions not applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock, including (i) limitations on the Board of Directors of the Company to declare dividends, (ii) director designation rights for each of the Investors, (iii) liquidation rights of holders upon "deemed liquidation" events, including a liquidation preference over the common stock, (iv) limitations on the ability to authorize, issue or create debt securities, (v) limitations on the ability to enter into mergers or acquisitions and (vi) limitations on the ability to conduct public offerings of the Company's common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 23,267,326 shares of common stock.

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement occurred on October 11, 2024, following the satisfaction of customary conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement and did not result in the receipt of any cash proceeds by the Company.

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

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on management's evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company identified a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting in the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024 related to the timing of revenue recognition based on the Company's revenue recognition policy and have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024 as a result of such material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company has adopted a remediation plan, pursuant to which the Company plans to amend its internal controls to mitigate the material weakness, which was identified by management, including by updating its procedures regarding the testing of revenue recognition, and reviewing the procedures which ensure that revenue is recorded in the period in which it is earned. The Company believes implementation of these processes and appropriate testing of their effectiveness will remediate the material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weakness and the adoption of the remediation plan discussed above, 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.
