Cancer Genetics, Inc. supports the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry to develop innovative new drug therapies.
Until the closing of the Business Disposals (as defined below) in July 2019, we were an emerging leader in enabling precision medicine in oncology by providing multi-disciplinary diagnostic and data solutions, facilitating individualized therapies through our diagnostic tests, services and molecular markers. Following the Business Disposals described below, we currently have an extensive set of anti-tumor referenced data based on predictive xenograft and syngeneic tumor models from the acquisition of vivoPharm, Pty Ltd. (“vivoPharm”) in 2017, to provide contract research services, focused primarily on unique specialized studies to guide drug discovery and development programs in the oncology and immuno-oncology fields.
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 8, 1999 and, until the Business Disposals, had offices and state-of-the-art laboratories located in New Jersey and North Carolina and today continue to have laboratories in Pennsylvania and Australia. Our laboratories comply with the highest regulatory standards as appropriate for the services they deliver including CLIA, CAP, and NY State. Our services are built on a foundation of world-class scientific knowledge and intellectual property in solid and blood-borne cancers, as well as strong academic relationships with major cancer centers such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Mayo Clinic, and the National Cancer Institute. We offer preclinical services such as predictive tumor models, human orthotopic xenografts and syngeneic immuno-oncology relevant tumor models in our Hershey PA facility, and are a leader in the field of immuno-oncology preclinical services in the United States. This service is supplemented with GLP toxicology and extended bioanalytical services in our Australian based facility in Bundoora VIC.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for interim reporting as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2019.
Business Disposals - Discontinued Operations
Interpace Diagnostics Group, Inc.
On July 15, 2019, the Company entered into and consummated a secured creditor asset purchase agreement (the “BioPharma Agreement”) by and among the Company, Gentris, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Partners for Growth IV, L.P. (“PFG”), Interpace Diagnostics Group, Inc. (“IDXG”) and a newly-formed subsidiary of IDXG, Interpace BioPharma, Inc. (“Buyer”). The BioPharma Agreement provides for a consensual private foreclosure sale by PFG of all assets relating to the Company’s BioPharma Business (as defined in the BioPharma Agreement) to Buyer (the “BioPharma Disposal”).
Pursuant to the BioPharma Agreement, Buyer purchased from PFG certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Company relating to the BioPharma Business, providing as gross consideration of $23,500,000, less certain closing adjustments totaling $1,978,240, of which $7,692,300 was paid in the form of a promissory note issued by Buyer to the Company (the “Excess Consideration Note”) and the remainder was paid to PFG in cash. PFG utilized the cash proceeds to satisfy the outstanding balances of the Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) asset-based revolving line of credit (“ABL”) and the $6.0 million term note to PFG (“PFG Term Note”), and to satisfy certain transaction expenses. The balance of approximately $2,260,000 was delivered to the Company along with the Excess Consideration Note. The Excess Consideration Note will mature on the earlier of the date of (i) the consummation of an investment by Ampersand Capital Partners or any of its affiliates into IDXG or Buyer, following IDXG receiving the approval of its shareholders of the issuance of shares of its common stock in connection therewith and (ii) July 15, 2022, and will be paid interest-only quarterly prior to maturity at a rate of 6% per year.
Following closing, the purchase price will be adjusted based on the net worth (assets less liabilities) of the BioPharma business as of June 30, 2019 as compared to the net worth of the BioPharma business as of April 30, 2019, with any increase or decrease in net worth over such period being added or subtracted, respectively, to the principal of the Excess Consideration Note, with such adjustment not to exceed $775,000. The Excess Consideration Note is also subject to set-off in the event that certain older accounts receivable of the Company purchased by Buyer, in the aggregate amount of approximately $830,000, are not collected prior to December 31, 2019, and as indemnification for breaches of certain limited warranties and of covenants of the Company and other specified items, subject to agreed-upon caps, baskets and survival periods as set forth in the BioPharma Agreement. Alternatively, if the Excess Consideration Note is no longer outstanding after December 31, 2019, the above-mentioned accounts receivable adjustment will be satisfied through an AR Holdback (as defined in the BioPharma Agreement) mechanism, as set forth in the BioPharma Agreement. The Excess Consideration Note is subordinated in favor of Buyer’s senior lender, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein.
The Company and Buyer also entered into a transition services agreement (the “TSA”) pursuant to which the Company and Buyer will provide certain services to each other to accommodate the transition of the BioPharma Business to Buyer. In particular, the Company agreed to provide to Buyer, among other things, certain personnel services, payroll processing, administration services and benefit administration services described in an exhibit thereto, for a period not to exceed six months from July 15, 2019, subject to the terms and conditions of the TSA, in exchange for payment or reimbursement, as applicable, by Buyer for the costs related thereto, including salaries and benefits for certain of the Company’s BioPharma employees during the transition period. In addition, it is anticipated that John A. Roberts, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Glenn Miles, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, may enter into part-time consulting arrangements with Buyer and/or IDXG to assist with the transition.
In connection with the closing of the BioPharma Disposal, the SVB ABL and the PFG Term Note were terminated, and all related liens were released.
siParadigm, Inc.
On July 5, 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Clinical Agreement”) by and among the Company and siParadigm, LLC (“siParadigm”), pursuant to which the Company sold to siParadigm, certain assets associated with the Company’s clinical laboratory business (the “Clinical Business,” and such assets, the “Designated Assets”), and agreed to cease operating its Clinical Business. The Designated Assets include intellectual property, equipment and customer lists associated with the Clinical Business, and the Company will provide certain transitional services to siParadigm pursuant to the Clinical Agreement. The cash consideration paid by siParadigm at closing was approximately $758,000, which includes approximately $45,000 for certain equipment plus a $1,000,000 advance payment of the Earn-Out (as defined below), less approximately $177,000 of supplier invoices paid directly by siParadigm and transaction costs of approximately $110,000. The Earn-Out, to be paid over the 24 months post-closing, is based on fees for all tests performed by siParadigm for the Company’s clinical customers during the 12-month period following the closing (the “Earn-Out”). The Clinical Business sale (together with the BioPharma Disposal, the “Business Disposals”) was completed on July 8, 2019.
Under the Clinical Agreement, the Company agreed to certain non-competition and non-solicitation provisions, including that it will cease performing certain clinical tests and will not solicit or seek business from certain of its customers (other than for the Company’s other lines of business) for a period of three years following the closing date.
The Business Disposals have been classified as discontinued operations in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, BioPharma and Clinical operations and balances have been reported as discontinued operations and removed from all financial disclosures of continuing operations. As permitted by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, the Company elected to allocate approximately $657,000 and $1,442,000 of interest expense on debt not required to be repaid to discontinued operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. No interest expense was allocated to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, as all debt outstanding during those periods was repaid as part of the BioPharma Disposal. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Certain of our operations have been presented as discontinued.
2019 Offerings
On January 9, 2019, we entered into an underwriting agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“H.C. Wainwright”), relating to an underwritten public offering of 13,333,334 shares of our common stock for $0.225 per share. We received proceeds from the offering of approximately $2,437,000, net of expenses and discounts of approximately $563,000. We also issued warrants to purchase 933,334 shares of common stock to H.C. Wainwright in connection with this offering. The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at a per share price of $0.2475.
On January 26, 2019, we issued 15,217,392 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $0.23 per share. We received proceeds from the offering of approximately $2,975,000, net of expenses and discounts of approximately $525,000. We also issued warrants to purchase 1,065,217 shares of common stock to the underwriter, H.C. Wainwright, in connection with this offering. The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at a per share price of $0.253.
The January 9, 2019 and January 26, 2019 offerings will be referred to collectively as the “2019 Offerings.” As disclosed in Note 15, certain of our directors and executive officers purchased shares in the 2019 Offerings at the public offering price.
Standstill Agreement
In May 2019, we entered into a second standstill agreement (“Second Standstill”) with Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. (“Iliad”), related to the $2,625,000 convertible promissory note dated July 17, 2018 (“Convertible Note”) described further in Note 7. The Second Standstill provided that Iliad would not seek to redeem any portion of the Convertible Note until May 31, 2019. In consideration for the Second Standstill, we agreed to adjust the conversion price on the first $1,250,000 of our debt to Iliad from $0.80 to $0.2273. In May 2019, Iliad converted $350,000 of the Convertible Note balance into 1,539,815 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.2273 per share. On or about June 11, 2019, following the expiration of the Second Standstill, Iliad sent the Company a Redemption Notice (as defined in Note 7). On June 20, 2019, Iliad sent a notice to the Company asserting that the nonpayment of the redemption amount by the redemption due date constituted an event of default. Iliad asserted its right to increase the interest rate to 22% and to increase the then-outstanding balance of the loan by 15% (approximately $408,000). The Company and Iliad are currently negotiating a possible resolution.
Advance from NovellusDx, Ltd.
On September 18, 2018, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (“Merger Agreement”) with NovellusDx, Ltd. (“NDX”). In connection with signing the Merger Agreement, NDX loaned us $1,500,000 (“Advance from NDX”). Interest accrued on the outstanding balance at 10.75% per annum until we terminated the Merger Agreement on December 15, 2018. As a result of the termination, the Advance from NDX, plus interest thereon, became due and payable on March 15, 2019. The Company and NDX are currently negotiating a possible resolution or settlement of the Advance from NDX.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance codified in ASC 842, Leases, which supersedes the guidance in former ASC 840, Leases, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements (with the exception of short-term leases).
In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-11 to the existing transition guidance that allows entities to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the period of adoption. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 using this new transition guidance. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those periods.
We have elected to use the package of practical expedients, which allows us to not (1) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (2) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) reassess the initial direct costs for any existing leases. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment.
The most significant impact of adopting ASC 842 is related to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. Our accounting for finance leases remains substantially unchanged. The adoption of ASC 842 had no impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations or total cash flows from operations.
The cumulative effect of the changes made to our unaudited consolidated January 1, 2019 balance sheet for the adoption of ASC 842 were as follows (in thousands):
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. The update will become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and may be adopted either retrospectively or prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this standard prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and whether or not to early adopt.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): “Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment,” which removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and applied prospectively. We do not expect ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
