CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as
of December 31, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’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 that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined
in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation.
As
of December 31, 2022, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on
the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting
was effective based on those criteria.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Interpace
Biosciences, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of Interpace Biosciences, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes and the financial
statement schedule identified in item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a
matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit
committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on
the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion
on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Variable Consideration in Revenue
As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company’s clinical services derive revenue 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. 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, 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.
We identified the estimation of the variable consideration
as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgement and estimation required by management in their assessment. This led to a high
degree of auditor subjectivity and significant audit effort was required in performing our procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating
to estimates and assumptions made by management.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures
and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures
included, among other things, (i) obtaining an understanding of management’s process and evaluating the design of controls related
to revenue recognition; (ii) assessing the reasonableness of management’s estimates of variable consideration utilizing the expected
value method based on its historical experience; (iii) comparing the Company’s estimates of variable consideration to the history
of cash ultimately received from its payors; and (iv) testing the historical accuracy of cash collections used in the Company’s
assumptions relating to variable consideration.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Interpace Biosciences, Inc.
Parsippany, New Jersey
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet of Interpace Biosciences, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 , the related consolidated statements
of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and schedules (collectively
referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the period ended December 31, 2021 , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company has suffered operating losses, has negative operating cash flows and is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable
operations in the future and/or obtain additional financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business
operations when they come due. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor
from 2012 to 2022.

1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
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.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interpace Biosciences, Inc. fka Interpace Diagnostics Group, Inc., Interpace
Diagnostics Corporation, and Interpace Diagnostics, LLC.
Discontinued
operations include the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries: Group DCA, LLC (“Group DCA”), InServe Support Solutions
(Pharmakon), TVG, Inc. (TVG, dissolved December 31, 2014) its Commercial Services (“CSO”) business unit 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.
The
Company has one reporting segment: the Company’s clinical services business. The Company’s current reporting segment structure
is reflective of the way the Company’s management views the business, makes operating decisions and assesses performance. This
structure allows investors to better understand Company performance, better assess prospects for future cash flows, and make more informed
decisions about the Company.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of 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, notes payable,
allowances for doubtful accounts and notes, revenue recognition, unrecognized tax benefits, and asset impairments involving other intangible
assets. The Company periodically reviews these matters and reflects changes in estimates as appropriate. Actual results could materially
differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include unrestricted cash accounts, money market investments and highly liquid investment instruments with original
maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Accounts
Receivable, Net
The
Company’s accounts receivables represent unconditional rights to consideration and are generated using its proprietary tests.
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 opening accounts receivable balance as of January 1, 2021 was $ 4.4 million.

Property
and Equipment, net
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is recognized on a straight-line
basis, using the estimated useful lives of: seven to twelve years for furniture and fixtures; two to five years for office and computer
equipment; three to twelve years for lab equipment; and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated service
lives or the terms of the related leases which are currently one to five years . Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Upon disposition, the asset and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the related accounts and any gains
or losses are reflected in operations.
Software
Costs
Internal-Use
Software - It is the Company’s policy to capitalize certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use
software. Capitalized software costs are included in property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet and amortized over the
software’s useful life, generally three to seven years. Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed immediately.
See
Note 6, Property and Equipment , for further information.
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 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 related asset group, an impairment loss is recognized by reducing the recorded value of the asset
group to its fair value. 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.
F- 9
Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various contingencies. Contingencies are recorded in the consolidated financial
statements when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, or otherwise disclosed,
in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination
as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. In the event the Company determines that a loss is not probable, but is reasonably possible,
and it becomes possible to develop what the Company believes to be a reasonable range of possible loss, then the Company will include
disclosures related to such matter as appropriate and in compliance with ASC 450. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that
the losses could exceed the amounts already accrued, the Company will, when applicable, adjust the accrual in the period the determination
is made, disclose an estimate of the additional loss or range of loss, indicate that the estimate is immaterial with respect to its financial
statements as a whole or, if the amount of such adjustment cannot be reasonably estimated, disclose that an estimate cannot be made.
The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings of a material nature and, accordingly, the Company has not accrued estimated
costs related to any legal claims.
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. 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, 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.
We
regularly review the ultimate amounts received from the third-party and direct-bill payers and related estimated reimbursement rates
and adjust the net realizable values (“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. The Company recorded an NRV adjustment of $ 0.7 million as a reduction of revenue
during the second quarter of 2022 to record the impact on revenue recorded during the first quarter of 2022. See Note 3, Going Concern ,
for more details.
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.
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.
F- 10
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
compensation cost associated with the granting of stock-based awards is based on the grant date fair value of the stock award. The Company
recognizes the compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, over the shorter of the vesting period or the period from the grant date
to the date when retirement eligibility is achieved. Forfeitures are initially estimated based on historical information and subsequently
updated over the life of the awards to ultimately reflect actual forfeitures. As a result, changes in forfeiture activity can influence
the amount of stock compensation cost recognized from period to period. The Company primarily uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards is made on the date of
grant and is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions made regarding a number of complex and subjective variables.
These assumptions include: expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards; actual and projected employee stock option exercise
behaviors; the risk-free interest rate; and expected dividend yield. The fair value of restricted stock units, or RSUs, and restricted
shares is equal to the closing stock price on the date of grant. In 2020, the Company issued performance-based options and RSUs based
on achieving stock price or certain other financial metrics. These require the Company to assess the likelihood of achieving certain
performance milestones on a quarterly basis. In these instances, the Company was assisted in the initial valuation model by a third party
valuation professional.
See
Note 15, Stock-Based Compensation, for further information.
Treasury
Stock
Treasury
stock purchases are accounted for under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock.
Upon reissuance of shares, the Company records any difference between the weighted-average cost of such shares and any proceeds received
as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
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.
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 8, Leases .
Income
taxes
Income
taxes are based on income for financial reporting purposes calculated using the Company’s annual tax rate and reflect a current
tax liability or asset for the estimated taxes payable or recoverable on the current year tax return and expected annual changes in deferred
taxes. Any interest or penalties on income tax are recognized as a component of income tax expense.
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. This method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax basis and financial reporting basis of
the Company’s assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws and rates. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes
in the deferred tax asset and liability. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets
when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
F- 11
The
Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and pays or provides for the payment of taxes in each jurisdiction where it conducts business
and is subject to taxation. The breadth of the Company’s operations and the complexity of the tax law require assessments of uncertainties
and judgments in estimating the ultimate taxes the Company will pay. The final taxes paid are dependent upon many factors, including
negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, outcomes of tax litigation and resolution of proposed assessments arising
from federal and state audits. Uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e.,
a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return would be sustained upon examination
by tax authorities that have full knowledge of all relevant information. A recognized tax position is then measured as the largest amount
of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company adjusts accruals for unrecognized
tax benefits as facts and circumstances change, such as the progress of a tax audit. However, any adjustments made may be material to
the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows for a reporting period. Penalties and interest, if incurred, would
be recorded as a component of current income tax expense.
Significant
judgment is also required in evaluating the need for and magnitude of appropriate valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. Deferred
tax assets are regularly reviewed for recoverability. The Company currently has significant deferred tax assets resulting from net operating
loss carryforwards and deductible temporary differences, which should reduce taxable income in future periods, if generated. The realization
of these assets is dependent on generating future taxable income.
Income
(Loss) per Share
Basic
earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year including
any unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends. Diluted earnings per common share are computed
by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares outstanding and dilutive common shares under the treasury
method. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or
unpaid), are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. As
a result of the losses incurred in both 2022 and 2021, the potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded from the earnings per
share computation for these periods because its inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, preferred shares have been excluded
in the denominator of the earnings per share computation, on an if-converted basis, as such shares would have been anti-dilutive.

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 are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. 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
does not expect this will have a material impact 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 ASU 2020-06 amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this will have any impact on its consolidated
financial statements.

Going Concern
In
October 2021, the Company entered into a $ 7.5 million revolving credit facility with Comerica Incorporated (“Comerica”)(the
“Comerica Loan Agreement”). See Note 19, Revolving Line of Credit , for more details. Also in October 2021, the Company
entered into an $ 8.0 million term loan with BroadOak Fund V, L.P. (“BroadOak”)(the “BroadOak Term Loan”), the
proceeds of which were used to repay in full at their maturity the existing secured promissory note with Ampersand Capital Partners (“Ampersand”)
(the “Ampersand Note”) and 1315 Capital II, L.P (“1315 Capital”)(the “1315 Capital Note”). In May
2022, the Company entered into a Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note agreement with BroadOak for an additional $ 2.0 million (the
“Convertible Note”), which was converted into a subordinated term loan and was added to the outstanding BroadOak Term Loan
balance. See Note 13, Notes Payable , for more details.
In
January 2022, the Company’s registration statement for a rights offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) became effective; however, the rights offering was subsequently terminated later in January 2022 when the Company announced
that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, issued a new billing policy whereby CMS will no longer reimburse for
the use of the Company’s ThyGeNEXT ® and ThyraMIR ® tests when billed together by the same
provider/supplier for the same beneficiary on the same date of service. However, on February 28, 2022, the Company announced that
the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) program issued a response on behalf of CMS stating that the January 2022 billing
policy reimbursement change for ThyGeNEXT ® (0245U) and ThyraMIR ® (0018U) tests has been retroactively
reversed to January 1, 2022. In May 2022, the Company was notified by CMS/NCCI that processing of claims for dates of service after
January 1, 2022 would be completed beginning July 1, 2022. However, on June 9, 2022, the Company was notified that Novitas re-priced
ThyGeNEXT ® (0245U) from $ 2,919
to $ 806 .59
retroactively effective to January 1, 2022. On July 20, 2022 the Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Tests (CDLT) Advisory Panel affirmed
a gapfill price for ThyGeNEXT ® of $ 806 .59.
As a result of the ThyGeNEXT ® pricing change, the Company reduced its net realizable value, or NRV rates, for
ThyGeNEXT ® Medicare billing to reflect the $ 806 .59
pricing for tests performed during the second quarter of 2022. In addition, in order to reflect the retroactive pricing change to
January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an NRV adjustment of $ 0.7
million during the second quarter of 2022 to reduce revenue recorded during the first quarter of 2022. Effective January 1, 2023, the gapfill price for ThyGeNEXT ® was set at $ 1,266 .07 .
Further,
along with many laboratories, the Company may be affected by the Proposed Local Coverage Determination (“LCD”) DL39365, which
was posted on June 9, 2022 and is currently under consideration by our local Medicare Administrative Contractor, Novitas.
If finalized, this Proposed LCD, which governs “Genetic Testing for Oncology,” could impact the existing LCD for one of our
molecular tests, PancraGEN ® . If Novitas restricts coverage for PancraGEN ® , the Company’s liquidity could be negatively
impacted beginning in Fiscal 2023.
On
August 31, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of its Pharma Solutions business for a total purchase price of $ 6,560,000 after adjustments.
In addition, we received the earnout payment of $ 1,043,000 . See Note 4, Discontinued Operations .
For
the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had an operating loss from continuing operations of $ 3.6 million. As of December 31, 2022,
the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 4.8 million, total current assets of $ 12.2 million and current liabilities of $ 14.3 million.
As of March 17, 2023, the Company had approximately $ 5.7 million of cash on hand, excluding restricted cash.
The
Company may not generate positive cash flows from operations for the year ending December 31, 2023. The Company intends to meet its ongoing
capital needs by using its available cash and availability under the Comerica Loan Agreement, as well as through targeted margin improvement;
collection of accounts receivable; containment of costs; and the potential use of other financing options and other strategic alternatives.
However, if the Company is unable to meet the financial covenants under the Comerica Loan Agreement, the revolving line of credit and
notes payable will become due and payable immediately. As of March 27, 2023, the Company had $ 1.5 million available under the Loan Agreement.
F- 13
The
Company continues to explore various strategic alternatives, dilutive and non-dilutive sources of funding, including equity and debt
financings, strategic alliances, business development and other sources in order to provide additional liquidity. With the delisting
of its common stock from Nasdaq in February 2021, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to it has
been adversely impacted. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such funding on terms acceptable
to it.
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a
going concern depends on having working capital for vendor payments, meeting short-term obligations on other accrued liabilities, and
amongst other requirements, making interest payments on its debt obligations. Without positive operating margins and sufficient working
capital and the ability to meet its debt obligations, our business will be jeopardized and we may not be able to continue in our current
structure, if at all. Under these circumstances, the Company would likely have to consider other options, such as selling assets, raising
additional debt or equity capital, cutting costs or otherwise reducing our cash requirements, or negotiating with our creditors to restructure
our applicable obligations. With the proceeds received from the sale of the Pharma Solutions business, as well as the expected improvement
in future operating cash flows associated with the disposition, as of the date of this filing, the Company anticipates that current cash
and cash equivalents and forecasted cash receipts will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements through the next twelve
months.
4.
Discontinued Operations
On
August 31, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Flagship Biosciences,
Inc. (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to (i) acquire substantially all of the assets of Interpace
Pharma Solutions, Inc. used in its business of complex molecular analysis for the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer and supporting
the development of targeted therapeutics (the “Business”) and (ii) assume and pay certain liabilities related to the purchased
assets (collectively, the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed on August 31, 2022.
As
consideration for the Transaction, Interpace received a total sale price of approximately $ 6.2 million after working capital and other
adjustments ($ 0.5 million of which has been deposited into escrow). In addition, the Purchaser paid the Company an earnout of approximately
$ 1.0 million based on revenue for the period beginning September 1, 2021 and ending August 31, 2022.
The
Purchase Agreement includes a one-year commitment of Interpace not to compete with the Business, recruit or hire any former employees
of the Subsidiary who accept employment with the Purchaser in connection with the Transaction, or divert or attempt to divert from Purchaser
any business to be performed from any of the contracts or agreements with customers as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase
Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, post-closing covenants and mutual indemnification obligations for,
among other things, any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty and any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant.
In
connection with the Transaction, on August 31, 2022, Interpace and Purchaser entered into a Shared Services Agreement (the “Shared
Services Agreement”) pursuant to which Interpace agreed to provide, or cause its affiliates to provide, to the Purchaser certain
services set forth in the Shared Services Agreement on a transitional basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Shared Services Agreement (the “Services”). As consideration for the Services provided by Interpace, Purchaser will pay Interpace
the amounts specified for each Service as set forth in the Shared Services Agreement. The Company’s obligations to provide the
Services will terminate with respect to each Service as set forth in the Shared Services Agreement.
F- 14
The
Purchaser is identified as a related party as an affiliate of Ampersand and an affiliate of BroadOak and have each provided equity financing
to the Purchaser. Collectively, they own a majority of the Purchaser’s outstanding equity securities and are represented on its
Board of Directors.
The
Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds to fund its future business activities and for general working capital purposes. As
a result of the sale, the gain on sale and all operations from Interpace Pharma Solutions have been classified as discontinued operations
for all periods presented.

tax position liabilities.
Cash
used from discontinued operations, operating activities, for the year ended December 31, 2022 was approximately $ 2.8 million. There was
cash provided by discontinued operations, investing activities, for the year ended December 31, 2022 of $ 6.5 million which pertained
to the net proceeds received from the Pharma Solutions sale. Cash used from discontinued operations, operating activities, for the year
ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $ 4.9 million. There was cash used from discontinued operations, investing activities, for the
year ended December 31, 2021 of $ 0.1 million. Depreciation and amortization expense within discontinued operations for the years ended
December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $ 1.1 million and $ 1.8 million, respectively.
5. 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 consolidated financial statements include contingent consideration, notes payable,
and warrant liability. 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
for assets and liabilities include certain unobservable inputs in the assumptions and projections used in determining the fair value
assigned to such assets or liabilities.
F- 16
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.

See
Note 10, Accrued Expenses and Long-Term Liabilities
In
connection with the acquisition of certain assets from Asuragen, 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.
The
Company records the BroadOak 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.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
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 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 and
recent increases in litigation related to healthcare products.
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.
12. Mezzanine Equity

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 .
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 “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 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 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 .
F- 21
Conversion
The Certificate of Designation provides
that from and after the Issuance Date and subject to the terms of the 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 7,833,334
shares (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 $ 25,000,000.00
in 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 Certificate of Designation).
Liquidation
Upon
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or Deemed Liquidation (as defined in the 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 December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 47,000
Series B issued and outstanding shares of preferred
stock which on an as converted basis are equal to 7,833,334 shares of common stock.
13. Notes Payable
BroadOak
Loan
On
October 29, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the BroadOak Loan Agreement, 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. See Note 18 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
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.
F- 22
BroadOak
Convertible Note
On
May 5, 2022, the Company issued a Convertible Note to BroadOak, pursuant to which BroadOak funded an aggregate principal amount of $ 2
million (the “Convertible Debt”).
The
Convertible Note was to 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 would issue common stock to certain investors, and such conversion would 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. Since the private placement transaction was not consummated by August 5, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”), the Convertible
Note was converted into an additional term loan advance under the Company’s existing BroadOak Loan Agreement on the Maturity Date.
The Convertible Debt bore interest at a fixed rate of 9.0 % per annum and was unsecured. There were no scheduled amortization payments
prior to the Maturity Date. The Convertible Note contained customary representations and warranties and customary events of default.
The
Company 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.

15. Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company’s stock-incentive program is a long-term retention program that is intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for
talented employees, officers and directors, and to align stockholder and employee interests. Currently, the Company is able to grant
options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted shares from the Interpace Biosciences, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive
Plan. No new grants may be made under the Company’s prior stock incentive plan, the Interpace Diagnostics Group, Inc. (now known
as Interpace Biosciences, Inc.) Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”). Unless earlier
terminated by action of the Company’s board of directors, the 2004 Plan will remain in effect until such time as no stock remains
available for delivery and the Company has no further rights or obligations under the 2004 Plan with respect to outstanding awards thereunder.
Historically,
stock options have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant, expire 10
years from the date they are granted, and generally vested 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
employees generally have a three-year graded vesting period and are subject to accelerated vesting and forfeiture under certain circumstances.
Restricted shares and RSUs granted to Board members generally have a three-year graded vesting period and are subject to accelerated
vesting and forfeiture under certain circumstances.
F- 24
The
Company primarily uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the
fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock
price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Company’s expected
stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest
rate and expected dividends. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility. As there is no trading volume for the Company’s
options, implied volatility is not representative of the Company’s current volatility so the historical volatility of the Company’s
common stock is determined to be more indicative of the Company’s expected future stock performance. The expected life is determined
using the safe-harbor method. The Company expects to use this simplified method for valuing employee options until more detailed information
about exercise behavior becomes available over time. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues
with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the option valuation model. The Company estimates forfeitures at the
time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical
data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected
to vest. The Company recognizes compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, arising from the issuance of stock options on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period of the grant.
The
Company began an employee stock purchase plan in 2020 and recognized approximately $ 46,000 and $ 0.1 million in expense related to that
plan for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company suspended its plan in July 2022 as there were no shares
available in the original authorized shares pool. In November 2022, the shareholders approved an increase to the pool of an additional
one million shares.
As of December 31, 2022, we have reserved
776,849 shares of our common stock for issuance under our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and 1,000,007 shares of our common stock for issuance
under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and 1,672,746 additional shares available for future grants of awards under our 2019 Equity Incentive
Plan.
The
estimated compensation cost associated with the granting of restricted stock and restricted stock units is based on the fair value of
the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company recognizes the compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, arising
from the issuance of restricted stock and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the vesting period or the
period from the grant date to the date when retirement eligibility is achieved.

following table provides the weighted average assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock options granted during the

The
Company performs an analysis each year to determine whether the expected future income will more likely than not be sufficient to realize
the deferred tax assets. The Company’s recent operating results and projections of future income weighed heavily in the Company’s
overall assessment. As a result of this analysis, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its federal and
state net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2022 as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that these assets will not
be realized.

The
Company’s deferred tax asset and deferred tax liabilities are included within Other long-term liabilities , within the consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Federal tax attribute carryforwards at December 31, 2022, consist primarily of approximately
$ 127.2
million of federal net operating losses. In addition,
the Company has approximately $ 59.1
million of state net operating losses carryforwards
post 382 ownership change. The utilization of the federal carryforwards as an available offset to future taxable income is subject to
limitations under federal income tax laws. Under
current federal income tax law, federal NOLs incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely,
but the deductibility of such federal NOLs is limited to 80% of Federal Taxable Income, and current state net operating losses not utilized
begin to expire this year.
The
NOL carry forwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. NOL, and
tax credit carry forwards may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest
of significant stockholders over a three year period in excess of 50%, as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, as well as similar state tax provisions. The amount of the annual limitation, if any, will be
determined based on the value of our company immediately prior to an ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect
the limitation in future years. Additionally, U.S. tax laws limit the time during which these carry forwards may be applied against future
taxes, therefore, we may not be able to take full advantage of these carry forwards for federal income tax purposes. During 2021, the
Company completed a 382 assessment of the available NOLs under Section 382 and determined that the Company underwent an ownership change
on March 30, 2017 and July 15, 2019 and as a result, NOLs attributable to the pre-ownership change are subject to a substantial annual
limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to the multiple ownership changes. The Company has adjusted their NOL carryforwards
to address the impact of the 382 ownership change. Federal Net Operating Losses of $ 71.2 million are subject to annual limitation as
of the ownership changes for ownership changes. The remaining $ 56.0 million of NOLs incurred post July 15, 2019 are not subject to any
annual limitation and can be carried forward indefinitely.

19. 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 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.
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 December 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, which the Company was in compliance with as of December 31, 2022,
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. In April 2022 and August 2022, Comerica waived certain
covenants specifically relating to failure to maintain bank accounts outside of Comerica in an aggregate amount not to exceed $ 0.5 million
during the transition period. Additionally, in August 2022, Comerica waived certain covenants relating to failure to segregate collections
made from government account debtors from collections made from all other account debtors and customers.
F- 30
As
a condition for Comerica to extend the Credit Facility to the Company, the Company’s existing creditors, Ampersand and 1315 Capital
(the “Existing Creditors”), entered into a 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 owing to such Existing Creditor to all
of the indebtedness and obligations of the Company 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 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.
