OVERVIEW
Nature
of Business
Interpace
Biosciences, Inc. (“Interpace” or the “Company”) enables personalized medicine, offering specialized services
along the therapeutic value chain from early diagnosis and prognostic planning to targeted therapeutic applications and pharma services.
The Company 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 also provides pharmacogenomics
testing, genotyping, biorepository and other specialized services to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. The Company advances
personalized medicine by partnering with pharmaceutical, academic, and technology leaders to effectively integrate pharmacogenomics into
their drug development and clinical trial programs.
COVID-19
pandemic
The
COVID-19 pandemic, together with related precautionary measures, continues to impact portions of the regions in which we operate. These
regions are attempting to address the COVID-19 pandemic in varying ways, including stay-at-home orders, temporarily closing businesses,
restricting gatherings, restricting travel, and mandating social distancing and face coverings. The level and nature of the disruption
caused by COVID-19 is unpredictable, may be cyclical and long-lasting and may vary from location to location.
The
continuing impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our operations, including duration, severity and scope, remains highly uncertain
and cannot be fully predicted at this time. While we believe we have generally recovered from the adverse impact that the COVID-19 pandemic
had on our business during 2020, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely impact our results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition in the future.
We
continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and the guidance that is being provided by relevant federal, state and local public health
authorities and may take additional actions based upon their recommendations. It is possible that we may have to make adjustments to
our operating plans in reaction to developments that are beyond our control.
Lab
closures experienced thus far by the Company have consisted of periodic, temporary work stoppages to clean and disinfect the labs. However,
this could change in the future based upon conditions caused by the pandemic. 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. For the foreseeable future, however, we do not anticipate supply chain shortages of critical
supplies.
We
have contingency plans in place and will continue to monitor and update them in order to mitigate pandemic-related, adverse financial
impacts upon our business.
Transition
costs
Transition
expenses are primarily related to the Rutherford, New Jersey lab closing and subsequent move to Morrisville, North Carolina, which was
completed during the first half of Fiscal 2021, as well as other cost-saving initiatives consisting primarily of reductions in headcount
and the implementation of a new laboratory information system. To optimize the operations of laboratory operations within our pharma
services, we transitioned activities from the Rutherford facility to our Morrisville facility. The transition included the transfer of
personnel, expansion of the Morrisville facility and validation of transferred processes.

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, Interpace Pharma Solutions, Inc. 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, 2021, as filed with the Securities
& Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2022 and as amended on April 29, 2022.
The
condensed 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 condensed
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. and its Commercial Services business unit which was sold on December 22, 2015. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three-month period ended March
31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
3.
GOING
CONCERN
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern
and that contemplates the continuity of operations, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in
the normal course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had an operating loss of $ 2.0
million. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash, cash
equivalents and restricted cash of $ 3.1
million, total current assets of $ 13.1
million and current liabilities of $ 16.9
million. As of May 6, 2022, we had approximately
$ 3.7 million of cash on hand, excluding restricted cash.
In
January 2022, 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. 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. CMS is currently reimbursing the Company for one of its two thyroid tests, and has agreed to retroactively reimburse
for the second test once they have completed their internal administrative adjustments. We have been notified by CMS/NCCI that processing
of claims for dates of service after January 1, 2022 will be completed beginning July 1, 2022. As of the date of this filing, the Company
has not yet realized the full cash collection benefit of current and retroactive Thyroid testing and such cash collections may be temporarily
reduced or delayed until we resolved the matter with CMS. As of the date of this filing, the Company currently anticipates that current
cash and cash equivalents will be insufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements through the next twelve months. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
8
On
January 7, 2021, the Company entered into secured promissory notes in the amount of $ 3 million and $ 2 million with Ampersand (“Ampersand
Note”) and 1315 Capital (“1315 Capital Note”), respectively. See Note 14, Notes Payable , of the notes to the
financial statements. On May 10, 2021, the Company amended the Ampersand Note to increase the principal amount to $ 4.5 million and amended
the 1315 Capital Note to increase the principal amount to $ 3.0 million. The maturity dates of the Notes were the earlier of (a) June
30, 2021 and (b) the date on which all amounts become due upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined in the Notes. On June
24, 2021, the Company and Ampersand amended the Ampersand Note to change its maturity date to the earlier of (a) August 31, 2021 and
(b) the date on which all amounts become due upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined in the Ampersand Note. On June 25,
2021, the Company and 1315 Capital amended the 1315 Capital Note to change its maturity date in a similar manner. On August 31, 2021,
the Company and Ampersand amended the Ampersand Note to change its maturity date to the earlier of (a) September 30, 2021 and (b) the
date on which all amounts become due upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined in the Ampersand Note. On August 31, 2021,
the Company and 1315 Capital amended the 1315 Capital Note to change its maturity date in a similar manner.
On
September 29, 2021, the Company and Ampersand amended the Ampersand Note to change its maturity date to the earlier of (a) October 31,
2021 and (b) the date on which all amounts become due upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined in the Ampersand Note. On
September 29, 2021, the Company and 1315 Capital amended the 1315 Capital Note to change its maturity date in a similar manner.
In
October 2021, the Company entered into a $ 7.5
million revolving credit facility with Comerica.
See Note 18, Revolving Line of Credit , for more details. In addition, also in October 2021, the Company entered into the $ 8.0
million BroadOak Term Loan, the proceeds of which
were used to repay in full at their maturity the notes extended by Ampersand and 1315 Capital discussed above. See Note 14, Notes
Payable, for more details. In May 2022, the Company entered into a term loan with BroadOak for an additional $ 2.0 million. See
Note 20, Subsequent Events , for more details.
Although
the Company is targeting to achieve Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow breakeven during Fiscal 2022, we may not generate positive cash flows
from operations for the year ending December 31, 2022. We intend to meet our ongoing capital needs by using our available cash and availability
under the Comerica Loan Agreement, as well as through revenue growth and margin improvement; collection of accounts receivable; containment
of costs; and the potential use of other financing options. However, if we are 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.
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 in January 2022. The Company is currently exploring various
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 and expand the business through acquisitions or other strategic transactions. With the
Company’s delisting from Nasdaq in February 2021, its 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.

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 doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, unrecognized tax benefits, and asset impairments involving other 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.
9
Revenue
Recognition
Our
clinical services derive its revenues from the performance of its proprietary assays or tests. The Company’s performance obligation
is fulfilled upon the completion, review and release of test results to the customer. The Company subsequently bills 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 (“NRV”), 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, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included
in the transaction price using the expected value method based on historical experience.
For
our clinical services, 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.
For
our pharma services, project level activities, including study setup and project management, are satisfied over the life of the contract
while performance-related obligations are satisfied at a point in time as the Company processes samples delivered by the customer. Revenues
are recognized at a point in time when the test results or other deliverables are reported to the customer.
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 pharma services, 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 and
pharma 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. Pharma services represent, primarily, the performance of laboratory tests in support of clinical trials
for pharma services customers. The Company bills these services directly to the customer.
10
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 .

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 years to ten years in 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.

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.
13
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:

(1)(2) See Note 9, Accrued Expenses and Long-Term Liabilities
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 BroadOak 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 14, 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.

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.

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.

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 loss from continuing operations and the effective tax
rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

NOTES
PAYABLE
BroadOak
Loan
On
October 29, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “BroadOak Loan 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 matures 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 is subordinate to the Company’s $ 7,500,000 revolving credit facility
with Comerica Bank. 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
BroadOak Loan Agreement 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 BroadOak Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default.
In
connection with the BroadOak Loan Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security
Agreement and Consent with Comerica, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Comerica Amendment”), pursuant to which Comerica
consented to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ entry into the BroadOak Loan Agreement, and amended that certain Loan and
Security Agreement among Comerica, the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Comerica Loan Agreement”) to, among other things,
permit the indebtedness, liens and encumbrances contemplated by the BroadOak Loan Agreement.
As
a condition for BroadOak to extend the Term Loan to the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company’s existing creditor, Comerica,
and BroadOak entered into that certain Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021, pursuant to which BroadOak
agreed to subordinate all of the indebtedness and obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries owing to BroadOak to all of the indebtedness
and obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries owing to Comerica (the “Intercreditor Agreement”). BroadOak further agreed
to subordinate all of its respective security interests in assets or property of the Company and its subsidiaries to Comerica’s
security interests in such assets or property. The Intercreditor Agreement provides that it is solely for the benefit of BroadOak and
Comerica and is not for the benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The
Company concluded that the Note 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 shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, the Company elected the fair value option for the Note.

EQUITY
Preferred
Stock Issuance: Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement
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 $ 20.0 million in Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, at an issuance price per share of $ 1,000 .
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, 1315 Capital agreed to purchase 19,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock
at an aggregate purchase price of $ 19.0 million and Ampersand agreed to purchase 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an aggregate
purchase price of $ 1.0 million.
In
addition, the Company agreed to exchange $ 27.0 million of the Company’s existing Series A convertible preferred stock, par value
$ 0.01 per share, held by Ampersand (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), represented by 270 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
with a stated value of $ 100,000 per share, which represents all of the Company’s issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock,
for 27,000 newly 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, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remained designated,
authorized, issued or outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $ 6.00 .
In
April 2020, the Company entered into support agreements with each of the Series B Investors, pursuant to which Ampersand and 1315 Capital,
respectively, consented to, and agreed to vote (by proxy or otherwise), all shares of Series B Preferred Stock registered in its name
or beneficially owned by it and/or over which it exercises voting control as of the date of the Support Agreement and any other shares
of Series B Preferred Stock legally or beneficially held or acquired by such Series B Investor after the date of the Support Agreement
or over which it exercises voting control, in favor of any Fundamental Action desired to be taken by the Company as determined by the
Board. For purposes of each Support Agreement, “Fundamental Action” means any action proposed to be taken by the Company
and set forth in Section 4(d)(i), 4(d)(ii), 4(d)(v), 4(d)(vi), 4(d)(viii) or 4(d)(ix) of the Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred
Stock or Section 8.5.1.1, 8.5.1.2, 8.5.1.5, 8.5.1.6, 8.5.1.8 or 8.5.1.9 of the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement. The support
agreement between the Company and Ampersand was terminated by mutual agreement on July 9, 2020; however, the support agreement entered
into with 1315 Capital remains in effect. During October 2021, Ampersand and 1315 Capital provided consent to the Company to enter into
the Comerica Loan Agreement and the BroadOak Term Loan.

REVOLVING
LINE OF CREDIT
On
October 13, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Comerica Loan Agreement”)
with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”), providing for a revolving credit facility of up to $ 7,500,000 (the “Credit Facility”).
The Company may use the proceeds of the Credit Facility for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The
amount that may be borrowed under the Credit Facility is the lower of (i) the revolving limit of $ 7,500,000 (the “Revolving Line”)
and (ii) 80 % of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable plus an applicable non-formula amount consisting of $ 2,000,000 of additional
availability at close not based upon the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, with such additional availability reducing by
$ 250,000 per quarter beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2022. Borrowings on the Credit Facility are limited to $ 5,000,000 until
80% of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ customers are paying into a collection account or segregated governmental account
with Comerica. The Revolving Line can also include, at the Company’s option, credit card services with a sublimit of $ 300,000 .
Borrowings on the Revolving Line are subject to an interest rate equal to prime plus 0.50 %, with prime being the greater of (x) Comerica’s
stated prime rate or (y) the sum of (A) the daily adjusting LIBOR rate plus (B) 2.5 % per annum. The Company is also required to pay an
unused facility fee quarterly in arrears in an amount equal to 0.25 % per annum on the average unused but available portion of the Revolving
Line for such quarter.
22
The
Credit Facility matures on September 30, 2023, and is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company
and its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2022, the balance of the revolving line was $ 2.5 million.
The
Comerica Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative restrictive covenants that are applicable whether or not any amounts are outstanding
under the Comerica Loan Agreement. These restrictive covenants, which include restrictions on certain mergers, acquisitions, investments,
encumbrances, etc., could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. The Comerica Loan Agreement also contains financial covenants
requiring specified minimum liquidity and minimum revenue thresholds and also contains customary events of default.
In April 2022, Comerica waived certain covenants specifically relating to the Company receiving financial statements with a going concern
comment or qualification, and failure to maintain bank accounts outside of Comerica in an aggregate amount not to exceed $ 0.5
million during the transition period.
As
a condition for Comerica to extend the Credit Facility to the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company’s existing creditors, Ampersand
and 1315 Capital (the “Existing Creditors”), entered into that certain Subordination Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2021,
pursuant to which each Existing Creditor agreed to subordinate all of the indebtedness and obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries
owing to such Existing Creditor to all of the indebtedness and obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries owing to Comerica (the
“Subordination Agreement”). Each Existing Creditor further agreed to subordinate all of its respective security interests
in assets or property of the Company and its subsidiaries to Comerica’s security interests in such assets or property. The Subordination
Agreement provides that it is solely for the benefit of Comerica and each of the Existing Creditors and is not for the benefit of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries.

RECENT
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting
Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In
February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to SEC
Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards
Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which amends the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies.
ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2022. The Company believes the adoption will modify the way the Company analyzes financial instruments, but it does not anticipate
a material impact on results of operations. The Company is in the process of determining the effects adoption will have on its consolidated
financial statements.
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 ASU2020-06 amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect this will have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
BroadOak
Convertible Note
On
May 5, 2022, the Company issued a Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (the “Convertible Note”) to BroadOak, pursuant
to which BroadOak funded a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $ 2 million (the “Convertible Debt”). The Company
will use the proceeds of the Convertible Debt for general corporate purposes and working capital.
The
Convertible Note will be converted into shares of common stock of the Company in connection with, and upon the consummation of, a private
placement transaction pursuant to which the Company will issue common stock to certain investors, and such conversion will be subject
to the same terms and conditions (including purchase price per share) applicable to the purchase of common stock of the Company by such
investors. If such private placement transaction is not consummated on or prior to August 5, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”),
then the Convertible Note will be converted into an additional term loan advance under the Company’s existing BroadOak Loan Agreement
on the Maturity Date and will thereafter be subject to the terms of the definitive financing agreements for the BroadOak Loan Agreement
until repaid in accordance with the terms thereof. The Convertible Debt bears interest at a fixed rate of interest equal to 9.0 %
per annum and is unsecured. There are no scheduled amortization payments prior to the Maturity Date. The Convertible Note contains customary
representations and warranties and customary events of default.
In
connection with the issuance of the Convertible Note, on May 5, 2022, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a) a consent letter
(the “Comerica Consent”) with Comerica, pursuant to which Comerica consented to the issuance of the Convertible Note, the
incurrence of the Convertible Debt and the conversion of the Convertible Debt into common stock of the Company or an additional term
loan advance under the BroadOak Loan Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Note, and b) a First Amendment to Loan
and Security Agreement and Consent (the “BroadOak Amendment”) with BroadOak, pursuant to which, among other things, BroadOak
consented to the issuance of the Convertible Note, the incurrence of the Convertible Debt and the conversion of the Convertible Debt
into common stock of the Company or an additional term loan advance under the BroadOak Loan Agreement in accordance with the terms of
the Convertible Note.
The
Convertible Debt is subordinated in right of payment to all of the indebtedness and obligations of the Company owing to Comerica under
the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility with Comerica. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Note, on
May 5, 2022, the Company, BroadOak and Comerica entered into a First Amendment to Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor
Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, BroadOak agreed that the Convertible Debt is subordinated to all of the indebtedness
and obligations of the Company owing to Comerica on the same terms and conditions applicable to the indebtedness and obligations of the
Company under the BroadOak Loan Agreement.

2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements that are not historical
facts, including statements about our plans, objectives, beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“plans,” “estimates,” “intends,” “projects,” “should,” “could,”
“may,” “will” or similar words and expressions. These forward-looking statements are contained throughout this
Form 10-Q.
Forward-looking
statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of future performance. These statements are based on current expectations and
assumptions involving judgments about, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions,
all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. These predictions are also affected
by known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results to be materially different from those expressed
or implied by any forward-looking statement. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Our actual results could
differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. Such factors include,
but are not limited to, the following:
●
the
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our history of operating losses, declining cash position
and other liquidity factors, which in the absence of additional short term financing may cause us to cease or scale back operations;
●
the
effect of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which has materially and adversely affected our business and financial results, particularly
during portions of 2020, due to the slowdown in demand for our clinical services and pharma services, a reduction in samples received
and testing volume and delayed third party collections and other factors and which may continue to have an adverse effect on our
future business;
●
our
expectations of future revenues, expenditures, capital or other funding requirements;
●
our
reliance on Medicare reimbursement for our clinical services and our being subject to decisions of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (“CMS”) regarding reimbursement and pricing of our clinical services which could have a material adverse effect
on our business and financial results;
●
our
secured lenders have the right to foreclose on substantially all of our assets if we are unable to timely repay our outstanding obligations;
●
our
dependence on sales and reimbursements from our clinical services for more than 50% of our revenue; the ability to continue to generate
sufficient revenue from these and other products and/or solutions that we develop in the future is important for our ability to meet
our financial and other targets;
24
●
our
revenue recognition is based, in part, on our estimates for future collections and such estimates may prove to be incorrect;
●
our
ability to finance our business on acceptable terms in the future, which may limit the ability to grow our business, develop and
commercialize products and services, develop and commercialize new molecular clinical service solutions and technologies and expand
our pharma services offerings;
●
our
obligations to make royalty and milestone payments to our licensors;
●
our
dependence on third parties for the supply of some of the materials used in our clinical and pharma services tests;
●
the
potential adverse impact of current and future laws, licensing requirements and governmental regulations upon our business operations,
including but not limited to the evolving U.S. regulatory environment related to laboratory developed tests (“LDTs”),
pricing of our tests and services and patient access limitations;
●
our
reliance on our sales and marketing activities for future business growth and our ability to continue to expand our sales and marketing
activities;
●
our
ability to implement our business strategy; and
●
the
potential impact of existing and future contingent liabilities on our financial condition.
Please
see Part I – Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, as well as other documents we file with the SEC from time-to-time, for other important factors
that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our current expectations as expressed in the forward-looking statements
discussed in this Form 10-Q. Because of these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements. In addition, these statements speak only as of the date of the report in which they are set forth and,
except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
OVERVIEW
We

value chain from early diagnosis and prognostic planning to targeted therapeutic applications through our clinical and pharma services.
Through our clinical services, we enable physicians to personalize the clinical management of each individual patient by providing genomic
information to better diagnose, monitor and inform cancer treatment. Our clinical services provide clinically useful molecular diagnostic
tests, bioinformatics and pathology services for evaluating risk of cancer by leveraging the latest technology in personalized medicine
for improved patient diagnosis and management. Through our pharma services, we develop, commercialize and provide molecular- and biomarker-based
tests and services and provide companies with customized solutions for patient stratification and treatment selection through an extensive
suite of molecular and biomarker-based testing services, DNA and RNA extraction and customized assay development and trial design consultation.
Our pharma services provide pharmacogenomics testing, genotyping, biorepository and other specialized services to the pharmaceutical
and biotech industries and advance personalized medicine by partnering with pharmaceutical, academic and technology leaders to effectively
integrate pharmacogenomics into drug development and clinical trial programs with the goals of delivering safer, more effective drugs
to market more quickly, and improving patient care.
Impact
of Our Reliance on CMS
In
January 2022, CMS stated they would 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. CMS is currently reimbursing the Company for one of its two thyroid tests, and has
agreed to retroactively reimburse for the second test once they have completed their internal administrative adjustments. We have been
notified by CMS/NCCI that processing of claims for dates of service after January 1, 2022 will be completed beginning July 1, 2022. As
a result, the Company will continue billing for both tests according to its LCD as originally set by Novitas. As of the date of this
filing, the Company has not yet realized the full cash collection benefit of current and retroactive Thyroid testing and such cash collections
may be temporarily reduced or delayed until we resolve the matter with CMS.
Further,
in May 2022, CMS published its preliminary gap-fill fee pricing rates which are scheduled to go into effect in January 2023 and are likely
to affect the rates we are allowed to bill payers for ThyGeNEXT ® . This determination decreases the Medicare reimbursement
for ThyGeNext™ (0245U). However, the reimbursement rate for other payer groups may be increased. The overall impact of the
CMS determination may have an adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial results beginning in Fiscal 2023.
Impact
of COVID-19 Pandemic
The
COVID-19 pandemic, together with related precautionary measures, continues to impact portions of the regions in which we operate. These
regions are attempting to address the COVID-19 pandemic in varying ways, including stay-at-home orders, temporarily closing businesses,
restricting gatherings, restricting travel, and mandating social distancing and face coverings. The level and nature of the disruption
caused by COVID-19 is unpredictable, may be cyclical and long-lasting and may vary from location to location.
25
The
continuing impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our operations, including duration, severity and scope, remains highly uncertain
and cannot be fully predicted at this time. While we believe we have generally recovered from the adverse impact that the COVID-19 pandemic
had on our business during 2020, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely impact our results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition in the future.
We
continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and the guidance that is being provided by relevant federal, state and local public health
authorities and may take additional actions based upon their recommendations. It is possible that we may have to make adjustments to
our operating plans in reaction to developments that are beyond our control.
Lab
closures experienced thus far by the Company have consisted of periodic, temporary work stoppages to clean and disinfect the labs; however,
this could change in the future based upon conditions caused by the pandemic. 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. For the foreseeable future, however, we do not anticipate supply chain shortages of critical
supplies.
We
have contingency plans in place and will continue to monitor and update them in order to mitigate pandemic-related, adverse financial
impacts upon our business.
Impact
of the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
In
late February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, significantly amplifying already existing geopolitical tensions among Russia and other countries
in the region and in the west, including the U.S. Russia’s invasion, the responses of countries and political bodies to Russia’s
actions, the larger overarching tensions, and Ukraine’s military response and the potential for wider conflict have resulted in
financial market volatility and capital markets disruption, potentially increasing in magnitude, and could have severe adverse effects
on regional and global economic markets and international relations. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting
market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial.
Following
Russia’s actions, various countries, including the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom, as well as the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. Such sanctions included, among other things, a prohibition on doing business with certain Russian
companies, officials and oligarchs; a commitment by certain countries and the European Union to remove selected Russian banks from the
Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) electronic banking network that connects banks globally; a ban on
Russian oil and gas imports to the U.S.; and restrictive measures to prevent the Russian Central Bank from undermining the impact of
the sanctions. The current sanctions (and potential further sanctions in response to continued Russian military activity) and other actions
may have adverse effects on regional and global economic markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially
making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds and increasing the volatility of our stock price. Any of the abovementioned
factors could affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.
Revenue
Recognition
Clinical
services derive its revenues from the performance of its 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.
26
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.
With
respect to our pharma services, customer performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time as the Company processes samples delivered
by the customer. Project level activities, including study setup and project management, are satisfied over the life of the contract.
Revenues are recognized at a point in time when the test results or other deliverables are reported to the customer.
Cost
of Revenue
Cost
of revenue consists primarily of the costs associated with operating our laboratories 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.
Transition
costs
Transition
expenses are primarily related to the Rutherford, New Jersey lab closing and subsequent move to Morrisville, North Carolina, which was
completed during the first half of Fiscal 2021, as well as other cost-saving initiatives consisting primarily of reductions in headcount
and the implementation of a new laboratory information system. To optimize the operations of laboratory operations within our pharma
services, we transitioned activities from the Rutherford facility to our Morrisville facility. The transition included the transfer of
personnel, expansion of the Morrisville facility and validation of transferred processes.

Revenue,
net
Consolidated
revenue, net for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $0.5 million, or 6%, to $10.4 million, compared to $9.8 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in net revenue was largely driven by increased volume for our clinical services.
Cost
of revenue
Consolidated
cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $5.4 million, as compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 2021. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue was approximately 52% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 54% for the
three months ended March 31, 2021, the percentage decrease was due to the increase in revenue discussed above.
Gross
profit
Consolidated
gross profit was approximately $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $4.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 2021. The gross profit percentage was approximately 48% for the three months ended March 31, 3022 and 46% for the three months ended
March 31, 2021.
28
Sales
and marketing expense
Sales
and marketing expense was approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $2.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2021. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense decreased to 23% from 24% in the comparable prior year
period.
Research
and development
Research
and development expense was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $0.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 2021 due to a delay in research and development projects in 2022. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expense decreased
to 3% from 7% in the comparable prior year period.
General
and administrative
General
and administrative expense was approximately $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $3.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2021. The increase can be primarily attributed to an increase in employee compensation costs and an increase in professional
fees.
Transition
expense
Transition
expense was approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2021. In 2021, these expenses were related to the Rutherford, NJ lab closing and subsequent move to North Carolina as well as other cost-saving
initiatives. In 2022, these expenses were related to laboratory information management system implementation costs.
Acquisition
amortization expense
During
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, we recorded amortization expense of approximately $0.5 million and $1.1 million,
respectively, which is related to intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions.
Operating
loss
Operating
loss from continuing operations was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $3.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2021. The lower operating loss was primarily attributable to the reduction in transition expenses discussed above.
Provision
for income taxes
Income
tax expense was approximately $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Income tax expense for both periods was primarily driven by minimum state and local taxes.
Loss
from discontinued operations, net of tax
We
had a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and a loss from discontinued
operations of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
In
addition to the United States generally accepted accounting principles, or 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.
29
In
this 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,
acquisition related expenses, transition expenses, noncash stock based compensation, interest and taxes, and other non-cash expenses
including asset impairment costs, bad debt expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, goodwill impairment and change in fair value of contingent
consideration, 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
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had an operating loss of $2.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents
of $2.9 million, net of restricted cash, total current assets of $12.9 million, net of restricted cash, and current liabilities of $16.9
million. As of May 6, 2022, we had approximately $3.7 million of cash on hand, net of restricted cash.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $1.3 million. The main component of cash used
in operating activities was our net loss of $2.2 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $1.2 million. During
the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $5.0 million. The main component of cash used in operating
activities was our net loss of $4.2 million.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash provided from financing activities was $1.1 million, of which $1.0 million was from
the drawdown on the revolving line of credit. See Note 14, Notes Payable, of the notes to the financial statements. For
the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash provided from financing activities was $5.0 million, of which $4.9 million were the net proceeds
from the Company’s secured promissory notes with Ampersand and 1315. See Note 14, Notes Payable, of the notes to
the financial statements.
In
October 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Comerica Loan Agreement”)
with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”), providing for a revolving credit facility of up to $7,500,000 (the “Credit Facility”).
The Company may use the proceeds of the Credit Facility for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
30
The
amount that may be borrowed under the Credit Facility is the lower of (i) the revolving limit of $7,500,000 (the “Revolving Line”)
and (ii) 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable plus an applicable non-formula amount consisting of $2,000,000 of additional
availability at close not based upon the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, with such additional availability reducing by
$250,000 per quarter beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2022. Borrowings on the Credit Facility are limited to $5,000,000 until
80% of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ customers are paying into a collection account or segregated governmental account
with Comerica. The Revolving Line can also include, at the Company’s option, credit card services with a sublimit of $300,000.
Borrowings on the Revolving Line are subject to an interest rate equal to prime plus 0.50%, with prime being the greater of (x) Comerica’s
stated prime rate or (y) the sum of (A) the daily adjusting LIBOR rate plus (B) 2.5% per annum. The Company is also required to pay an
unused facility fee quarterly in arrears in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum on the average unused but available portion of the Revolving
Line for such quarter. See Note 18, Revolving Line of Credit , for more details. Comerica has a first priority security interest
in substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets.
In
addition, also in October 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “BroadOak Loan 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 matures 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 is subordinate to the Company’s recently established $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 14, 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. See
Note 20, Subsequent Events , for more details. The Company will use the proceeds of the Convertible Debt for general corporate
purposes and working capital.
The
BroadOak Loan Agreement 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 BroadOak Loan Agreement also contains
customary events of default. The Comerica Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative restrictive covenants that are applicable
whether or not any amounts are outstanding under the Comerica loan agreement. These restrictive covenants, which include restrictions
on certain mergers, acquisitions, investments, encumbrances, etc., could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. The Comerica
Loan Agreement also contains financial covenants requiring specified minimum liquidity and minimum revenue thresholds and also contains
customary events of default. However, if we are 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.
Although
the Company is targeting to achieve Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow breakeven during Fiscal 2022, we may not generate positive cash flows
from operations for the year ending December 31, 2022. We intend to meet our ongoing capital needs by using our available cash and availability
under the Comerica Loan Agreement, as well as through revenue growth and margin improvement; collection of accounts receivable; containment
of costs; and the potential use of other financing options.
In
January 2022, the Company’s registration statement for a rights offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission become
effective; however, the rights offering was subsequently terminated in January 2022. The Company is currently exploring various 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 and expand the business through acquisitions or other strategic transactions. With the Company’s
delisting from Nasdaq in February 2021, its ability to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company was adversely impacted.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such funding on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
As
of the date of this Report, the Company currently anticipates that current cash and cash equivalents will be insufficient to meet its
anticipated cash requirements through the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern.
31
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.

management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. In designing
and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives including that information we are required
to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In

to their costs to implement and maintain.

Act the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.
