FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 is causing us to reduce headcount and other expenses and may cause us to cease or scale back operations; without sufficient working capital and the ability to meet our 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, we 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, including the potential filing of a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code; ? 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 theCenters 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, the reduction in reimbursement for our ThyGeNEXT® test is expected to have an approximate$5.0 million impact to Fiscal 2022 revenues; ? 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; ? our revenue recognition is based, in part, on our estimates for future collections which may prove to be incorrect with the changes in reimbursement rates for ThyGeNEXT® by Medicare causing us to revise our NRV's which will reduce revenues in future periods; ? 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; 24 ? 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 evolvingU.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.

25 Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
There continues to be widespread impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, there has been a trend in many parts of the world of increasing availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel and government activities and functions. On the other hand, infection rates and regulations continue to fluctuate in various regions and there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic, including challenges and increases in costs for logistics and supply chains. We have also previously been affected by temporary laboratory closures, employment and compensation adjustments and impediments to administrative activities. 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.
In addition, we have experienced and are experiencing varying levels of inflation resulting in part from various supply chain disruptions, increased shipping and transportation costs, increased raw material and labor costs and other disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and general global economic conditions.
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.

26 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.
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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to

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
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.

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.

The Company is currently exploring various strategic alternatives, dilutive and
non-dilutive sources of funding, including equity and debt financings, strategic
alliances, business development and other sources in order to provide additional
liquidity. With the Company's delisting from Nasdaq in
33
Management has determined that certain factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. 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 include inadequate liquidity to sustain operations, our substantial debts, margin deterioration and volatility, and historic net losses. Our consolidated financial statements assume we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our 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 our debt obligations. Without positive operating margins and sufficient working capital and the ability to meet our 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, we 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, including the potential filing of a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). Such a filing would subject us to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy filing proceedings and may place investors in our stock at significant risk of losing some or all of their investment. In a bankruptcy, holders of our common stock will be subordinated to our Series B Preferred Stock, which is likely to increase the risk of total loss of investment for holders of our common stock. A bankruptcy filing by us could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
