FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
Form 10-QSB contains
“forward-looking statements” relating to NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(referred to individually as the “Parent Company” or collectively with all of
its subsidiaries as the “Company” or “NeoGenomics” in this Form 10-QSB), which
represent the Company’s current expectations or beliefs including, but not
limited to, statements concerning the Company’s operations, performance,
financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statements contained
in
this Form 10-QSB that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking
statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such
as
“may”, “anticipation”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate”, or “continue” or the
negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial
risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management
and key
personnel, variability of quarterly results, and the ability of the Company
to
continue its growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond
the
Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual
outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the
forward-looking statements.
Any
forward-looking statement speaks
only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes
no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or
to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time
to
time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors,
nor
can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent
to
which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to
differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE
A –FORMATION AND OPERATIONS OF THE
COMPANY
NeoGenomics,
Inc. (“NEO” or the “Subsidiary”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of
Florida on June 1, 2001 and on November 14, 2001 agreed to be acquired by
American Communications Enterprises, Inc. (“ACE”, or the “Parent”) in a reverse
merger transaction. ACE was formed in 1998 and succeeded to NEO’s
name on January 3, 2002 (NEO and ACE are collectively referred to as “we”, “us”,
“our” or the “Company”).
Basis
of Presentation
Our
accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to
the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair statement of the results
for the fiscal period have been included. Operating results for the
three month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of
the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007, or for
any
future period. These financial statements
and notes should be read in conjunction with our
audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 2006 included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
Certain
amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Accounts
Receivable
We
record
accounts receivable net of contractual discounts. We provide for
accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future by
establishing an allowance to reduce the carrying value of such receivables
to
their estimated net realizable value. We estimate this allowance based on
the
aging of our accounts receivable and our historical collection experience
for
each type of payer. Receivables are charged off to the allowance
account at the time they are deemed uncollectible.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
We
compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Statement No. 128 “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”) and SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). Under the provisions of SFAS
No. 128 and SAB 98, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing
the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by potentially dilutive
common shares, which include stock options and warrants.
Net
loss
per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of
common shares outstanding during the period. The impact of conversion of
dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants, is not considered
where
a net loss is reported as the inclusion of such securities would be
anti-dilutive. As a result, basic loss per share is the same as diluted loss
per
share.

NOTE
B – EQUITY AND DEBT FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
On
January 18, 2006, the Company entered into a binding letter agreement (the
"Aspen Agreement") with Aspen Select Healthcare, LP, which provided, among
other
things, that:
(a)
Aspen
waived certain pre-emptive rights in connection with the sale of $400,000
of
common stock at a purchase price of $0.20/share and the granting of 900,000
warrants with an exercise price of $0.26/share to a SKL Limited Partnership,
LP
("SKL" as more fully described below) in exchange for five year warrants
to
purchase 150,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.26/share;
(b)
Aspen
had the right, up to April 30, 2006, to purchase up to $200,000 of restricted
shares of our common stock at a purchase price per share of $0.20/share (1.0
million shares) and receive a five year warrant to purchase up to 450,000
shares
of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.26/share in connection with
such
purchase (the "Equity Purchase Rights"). On March 14, 2006, Aspen exercised
its
Equity Purchase Rights
(c)
Aspen
and the Company amended the Loan Agreement, dated March 23, 2005 (the “Loan
Agreement”) between the parties to extend the maturity date until September 30,
2007 and to modify certain covenants (such Loan Agreement as amended, the
“Credit Facility Amendment”).
(d)
Aspen
had the right, until April 30, 2006, to provide up to $200,000 of additional
secured indebtedness to us under the Credit Facility Amendment and receive
a
five year warrant to purchase up to 450,000 shares of our common stock with
an
exercise price of $0.26/share (the "New Debt Rights"). On March 30, 2006,
Aspen
exercised its New Debt Rights and entered into the definitive transaction
documentation for the Credit Facility Amendment and other such documents
required under the Aspen Agreement.
(e)
The
Company agreed to amend and restate that certain warrant agreement, dated
March
23, 2005 to provide that all 2,500,000 warrant shares (the "Existing Warrants")
were vested and the exercise price per share of such warrants was reset to
$0.31
per share; and
(f)
The
Company agreed to amend that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated
March
23, 2005 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), between the parties to
incorporate the Existing Warrants and any new shares or warrants issued to
Aspen
in connection with the Equity Purchase Rights or the New Debt
Rights.
We
borrowed an additional $100,000 from the Aspen credit facility in May 2006,
$25,000 in September 2006 and $50,000 in December 2006. At December 31, 2006,
$1,675,000 was outstanding on the credit facility, which bears interest at
prime
plus 6%, and $25,000 remained available. Subsequent to December 31, 2006
we
borrowed the remaining $25,000 available under the Aspen facility.
During
the period from January 18 - 21, 2006, the Company entered into agreements
with
four other shareholders who are parties to that certain Shareholders’ Agreement,
dated March 23, 2005, to exchange five year warrants to purchase 150,000
shares
of stock in the aggregate at an exercise price of $0.26/share for such
shareholders’ waiver of their pre-emptive rights under the Shareholders’
Agreement.
On
January 21, 2006 the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the
"Subscription") with SKL Family Limited Partnership, LP, a New Jersey limited
partnership, whereby SKL purchased 2.0 million shares (the "Subscription
Shares") of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $0.20/share
for
$400,000. Under the terms of the Subscription, the Subscription Shares are
restricted for a period of 24 months and then carry piggyback registration
rights to the extent that exemptions under Rule 144 are not available to
SKL. In
connection with the Subscription, the Company also issued a five year warrant
to
purchase 900,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of
$0.26/share. SKL has no previous affiliation with the
Company.

On
June
6, 2006 as a result of not terminating our Standby Equity Distribution Agreement
(“SEDA”) with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (“Cornell Capital”) a short-term
note payable in the amount of $50,000 became due to Cornell and was subsequently
paid in July 2006 from the proceeds of a $53,000 advance under the
SEDA.
The
following sales of common stock have been made under our SEDA with Cornell
since
it was first declared effective on August 1, 2005.

NOTE
E – OTHER SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
April
2, 2007, we concluded a definitive agreement with Power3 Medical Products,
Inc.,
a New York Corporation (“Power3”) regarding the formation of a joint venture
Contract Research Organization (“CRO”) and the issuance of convertible
debentures and related securities by Power3 to us. Power3 is an early stage
company engaged in the discovery, development, and commercialization of protein
biomarkers. Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to enter into a joint
venture agreement with Power3 pursuant to which the parties will jointly
own a
CRO and begin commercializing Power3’s intellectual property portfolio of
seventeen patents pending by developing diagnostic tests and other services
around one or more of the over 500 protein biomarkers that Power3 believes
it
has discovered to date. Power3 has agreed to license all of its intellectual
property on a non-exclusive basis to the CRO for selected commercial
applications as well as provide certain management personnel. We will provide
access to cancer samples, management and sales & marketing personnel,
laboratory facilities and working capital. Subject to final negotiation of
the
joint venture agreement, we will own a minimum of 60% and up to 80% of the
new
CRO venture which is anticipated to be launched in the third or fourth quarter
of FY 2007.
As
part
of the definitive agreement, we provided $200,000 of working capital to Power3
by purchasing a convertible debenture on April 17, 2007 pursuant to a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between us and Power3. We were
also granted two irrevocable options to increase our stake in Power3 to up
to
60% of the Power3 fully diluted shares outstanding. The first option
(the “First Option”) is a fixed option to purchase convertible preferred stock
of Power3 that is convertible into such number of shares of Power3 common
stock,
in one or more transactions, up to 20% of Power3’s voting common stock at a
purchase price per share, which will also equal the initial conversion price
per
share, equal to the lesser of (a) $0.20/share, or (b) $20,000,000 divided
by the
fully-diluted shares outstanding on the date of the exercise of the First
Option. This First Option became exercisable on April 17, 2007 and continues
to
be exercisable until the day which is the later of (c) November 16, 2007
or (d)
the date that certain milestones specified in the agreement have been achieved.
The First Option is exercisable in cash or NeoGenomics common stock at our
option, provided, however, that we must include at least $1.0 million of
cash in
the consideration if we elect to exercise this First Option. In addition
to
purchasing convertible preferred stock as part of the First Option, we are
also
entitled to receive such number of warrants to purchase Power3 common tock
that
will permit us to maintain our current ownership percentage in Power3 on
a fully
diluted basis. Such warrants will have an exercise price equal to the
initial conversion price of the convertible preferred stock that was purchased
pursuant to the First Option and will have a five year term.
10
The
second option (the “Second Option”), which is only exercisable if we have
exercised the First Option, provides that we will have the option to increase
our stake in Power3 to up to 60% of fully diluted shares of Power3 over the
twelve month period beginning on the expiration date of the First Option
in one
or a series of transactions by purchasing additional convertible preferred
stock
of Power3 that is convertible into voting common stock and receiving additional
warrants. The purchase price per share, and the initial conversion price
of the
Second Option convertible preferred stock will, to the extent such Second
Option
is exercised within six months of exercise of the First Option, be the lesser
of
(a) $0.40/share or (b) $40,000,000 divided by the fully diluted shares
outstanding on the date of any purchase. The purchase price per share, and
the
initial conversion price of the Second Option convertible preferred stock
will,
to the extent such Second Option is exercised after six months, but within
twelve months of exercise of the First Option, be the lesser of (y) $0.50/share
or (z) an equity price per share equal to $50,000,000 divided by the fully
diluted shares outstanding on the date of any purchase. The exercise price
of
the Second Option may be paid in cash or in any combination of cash and our
common stock at our option. In addition to purchasing convertible preferred
stock as part of the Second Option, we are also entitled to receive such
number
of warrants to purchase Power3 common stock that will permit us to maintain
our
current ownership percentage in Power3 on a fully diluted basis. Such
warrants will have an exercise price equal to the initial conversion price
of
the convertible preferred stock being purchased that date and will have a
five
year term.
The
Purchase Agreement granted us (1) a right of first refusal with respect to
future issuances of Power3 capital stock and (2) the right to appoint a member
of the Power3 board of directors so long as we own 10% or more of Power3’s
outstanding voting securities.

Item
2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF
OPERATIONS (including cautionary statement)
Introduction
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007, included
with
this Form 10-QSB. Readers are also referred to the cautionary
statement, which addresses forward-looking statements made by us. As
used in this report, the terms "we", "us", "our", “NeoGenomics”, and the
“Company” mean NeoGenomics, Inc. and subsidiaries unless otherwise
indicated.
Overview
NeoGenomics,
Inc., a Nevada corporation
(referred to individually as the “Parent Company” or collectively with all of
its subsidiaries as “NeoGenomics” or the “Company” in this Form 10-QSB) is the
registrant for Securities and Exchange (“SEC”) reporting
purposes. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Over-The-Counter
Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) under the symbol “NGNM.”
NeoGenomics
operates cancer-focused testing laboratories that specifically target the
rapidly growing genetic and molecular testing segment of the medical laboratory
industry. Headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida, the Company’s growing
network of laboratories currently offers the following types of testing services
to pathologists, oncologists, urologists, hospitals, and other laboratories
throughout the United States:
a)
cytogenetics testing, which analyzes human chromosomes;
|
b)
Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) testing, which analyzes
abnormalities at the chromosomal and gene
levels;
|
|
c)
flow cytometry testing, which analyzes gene expression of specific
markers
inside cells and on cell surfaces;
and
|
|
d)
molecular testing which involves analysis of DNA and RNA to diagnose
and
predict the clinical significance of various genetic sequence
disorders.
|
All
of
these testing services are widely utilized in the diagnosis and prognosis
of
various types of cancer.
The
genetic and molecular testing segment of the medical laboratory industry
is the
most rapidly growing niche of the market. Approximately six years
ago, the World Health Organization reclassified cancers as genetic
anomalies. This growing awareness of the genetic root behind most
cancers combined with advances in technology and genetic research, including
the
complete sequencing of the human genome, have made possible a whole new set
of
tools to diagnose and treat diseases. This has opened up a vast
opportunity for laboratory companies that are positioned to address this
growing
market segment.
The
medical testing laboratory market can be broken down into three primary
segments:
• clinical
lab testing,
• anatomic
pathology testing, and
• genetic
and molecular testing.
Clinical
laboratories are typically engaged in high volume, highly automated, lower
complexity tests on easily procured specimens such as blood and
urine. Clinical lab tests often involve testing of a less urgent
nature, for example, cholesterol testing and testing associated with routine
physical exams. This type of testing yields relatively low average
revenue per test. Anatomic pathology (“AP”) testing involves
evaluation of tissue, as in surgical pathology, or cells as in
cytopathology. The most widely performed AP procedures include the
preparation and interpretation of pap smears, skin biopsies, and tissue
biopsies. The higher complexity AP tests typically involve more labor
and are more technology intensive than clinical lab tests. Thus AP
tests generally result in higher average revenue per test than clinical lab
tests.
12
Genetic
and molecular testing typically involves analyzing chromosomes, genes or
base
pairs of DNA or RNA for abnormalities. Genetic and molecular testing
have become important and highly accurate diagnostic tools over the last
five
years. New tests are being developed at an accelerated pace, thus
this market niche continues to expand rapidly. Genetic and molecular
testing requires highly specialized equipment and credentialed individuals
(typically MD or PhD level) to certify results and typically yields the highest
average revenue per test of the three market segments. The following
chart shows the differences between the genetic and molecular niche and other
segments of the medical laboratory industry. Up until approximately
five years ago, the genetic and molecular testing niche was considered to
be
part of the AP segment, but given its rapid growth, it is now more routinely
broken out and accounted for as its own segment.

Includes flow cytometry testing, which historically has been classified under
anatomic pathology.
NeoGenomics’
primary focus is to provide high complexity laboratory testing for the
community-based pathology and oncology markets. Within these key
market segments, we currently provide our services to pathologists and
oncologists in the United States that perform bone marrow and/or peripheral
blood sampling for the diagnosis of liquid tumors (leukemias and lymphomas)
and
archival tissue referral for analysis of solid tumors such as breast
cancer. A secondary strategic focus targets community-based
urologists, due to the availability of UroVysion®, a FISH-based
test
for the initial diagnosis of bladder cancer and early detection of recurrent
disease. We focus on community-based practitioners for two reasons:
First, academic pathologists and associated clinicians tend to have their
testing needs met within the confines of their university
affiliation. Secondly, most of the cancer care in the United States
is administered by community based practitioners, not in academic centers,
due
to ease of local access. Moreover, within the community-based
pathologist segment it is not our intent to willingly compete with our customers
for testing services that they may seek to perform
themselves. Fee-for-service pathologists for example, derive a
significant portion of their annual revenue from the interpretation of biopsy
specimens. Unlike other larger laboratories, which strive to perform
100% of such testing services themselves, we do not intend to compete with
our
customers for such specimens. Rather, our high complexity cancer testing
focus
is a natural extension of and complementary to many of the services that
our
community-based customers often perform within their own
practices. As such, we believe our relationship as a non-competitive
consultant, empowers these physicians to expand their testing breadth and
provide a menu of services that matches or exceeds the level of service found
in
academic centers of excellence around the country.
13
We
continue to make progress growing our testing volumes and revenue beyond
our
historically focused effort in Florida due to our expanding field sales
footprint. As of March 31, 2007, NeoGenomics’ sales organization
totaled 9 individuals. Recent, key hires included our Vice President
of Sales & Marketing, and various sales managers and representatives in the
Northeastern, Southeastern, and Western states. We intend to continue adding
sales representatives on a quarterly basis throughout the year. As more sales
representatives are added, the base of our business outside of Florida will
continue to grow and ultimately eclipse that which is generated within the
state.
We
are
successfully competing in the marketplace based on the quality and
comprehensiveness of our test results, and our innovative flexible levels
of
service, industry-leading turn-around times, regionalization of laboratory
operations and ability to provide after-test support to those physicians
requesting consultation. 2006 saw the introduction of our Genetic
Pathology Solutions (GPS) product that provides summary interpretation of
multiple testing platforms all in one consolidated report. Response
from clients has been favorable and provides another option for those customers
that require a higher degree of customized service.
Another
important service was initiated in December 2006 when we became the first
laboratory to offer technical-component only (tech-only) FISH testing to
the key
community-based pathologist market segment. NeoFISHTM has been
enthusiastically received and has provided our sales team with another
differentiating product to meet the needs of our target community-based
pathologists. With NeoFISHTM these
customers
are able to retain a portion of the overall testing revenue from such FISH
specimens themselves, which serves to much better align their interests with
those of NeoGenomics than what might otherwise be possible with larger
laboratory competitors.
We
believe NeoGenomics average 3-5 day turn-around time for our cytogenetics
services remains an industry-leading benchmark. The timeliness of
results continues to increase the usage patterns of cytogenetics and act
as a
driver for other add-on testing requests by our referring
physicians. Based on anecdotal information, we believe that typical
cytogenetics labs have 7-14 day turn-around times on average with some labs
running as high as 21 days. Traditionally, longer turn-around times
for cytogenetics tests have resulted in fewer tests being ordered since there
is
an increased chance that the test results will not be returned within an
acceptable diagnostic window when other adjunctive diagnostic test results
are
available. We believe our turn-around times result in our referring
physicians requesting more of our testing services in order to augment or
confirm other diagnostic tests, thereby we believe giving us a significant
competitive advantage in marketing our services against those of other competing
laboratories.
14
In
2006
we began an aggressive campaign to form new laboratories around the country
that
will allow us to regionalize our operations to be closer to our
customers. High complexity laboratories within the cancer testing
niche have frequently operated a core facility on one or both coasts to service
the needs of their customers around the country. Informal surveys of
customers and prospects uncovered a desire to do business with a laboratory
with
national breadth but with a more local presence. In such a scenario,
specimen integrity, turnaround-time of results, client service support, and
interaction with our medical staff are all enhanced. In 2006,
NeoGenomics achieved the milestone of opening two other laboratories to
complement our headquarters in Fort Myers, Florida. NeoGenomics
facilities in Nashville, Tennessee and Irvine, California received the
appropriate state and CLIA-certified clinical laboratory licensure and are
now
receiving live specimens. As situations dictate and opportunities
arise, we will continue to develop and open new laboratories, seamlessly
linked
together by our optimized Laboratory Information System (LIS), to better
meet
the regionalized needs of our customers.
Fiscal
year 2006 also saw the initial establishment of the NeoGenomics Contract
Research Organization (“CRO”) division based at our Irvine, CA
facility. This division was created to take advantage of our core
competencies in genetic and molecular high complexity testing and act as
a
vehicle to compete for research projects and clinical trial support contracts
in
the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. The CRO division
will also act as a development conduit for the validation of new tests which
can
then be transferred to our clinical laboratories and be offered to our
clients. We envision the CRO as a way to infuse intellectual property
into the mix of our services and in time create a more “vertically integrated”
laboratory that can potentially offer additional clinical services of a more
proprietary nature. Our agreement with Power3 further expanded the
scope of this entity and provides us with joint venture partner. We
will launch this venture in the third or fourth quarter of FY
2007.
As
NeoGenomics grows, we anticipate offering additional tests that broaden our
focus from genetic and molecular testing to more traditional types of AP
testing
that are complementary to our current test offerings. At no time do
we expect to intentionally compete with fee-for-service pathologists for
services of this type and Company sales efforts will operate under a strict
“right of first refusal” philosophy that supports rather than undercuts the
practice of community-based pathology. We believe that by adding
additional types of tests to our product offering we will be able to capture
increases in our testing volumes through our existing customer base as well
as
more easily attract new customers via the ability to package our testing
services more appropriately to the needs of the market.
Historically,
the above approach has borne out well for the Company. For most of FY
2004, we only performed one type of test in-house, cytogenetics, which resulted
in only one test being performed per customer requisition for most of the
year
and average revenue per requisition of approximately $490. With the
subsequent addition of FISH testing in FY 2005 and flow cytometry to our
pre-existing cytogenetics testing in FY 2006, our average revenue/requisition
increased by 29% in FY 2005 to approximately $632 and a further 7% in FY
2006 to
approximately $677/requisition. We believe with focused sales and
marketing efforts and the recent launch of GPS™ reporting, NeoFISHTM tech-only
FISH
services, and the future addition of additional testing platforms, we can
continue to increase our average revenue per customer
requisition. The following is a summary of our key operating metrics
for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006,
respectively:

We
believe this bundled approach to testing represents a clinically sound practice.
In addition, as the average number of tests performed per requisition increases,
this should drive large increases in our revenue and afford the Company
significant synergies and efficiencies in our operations and sales and marketing
activities. For instance, initial testing for many hematologic
cancers may yield total revenue ranging from approximately $1,800 -
$3,600/requisition and is generally comprised of a combination of some or
all of
the following tests: cytogenetics, fluorescence in-situ hybridization
(FISH), flow cytometry and, per client request, morphology
testing. Whereas in FY 2004, we only addressed approximately $500 of
this potential revenue per requisition; in FY 2005 we addressed approximately
$1,200 - $1,900 of this potential revenue per requisition; and in FY 2006,
we
began addressing this entire revenue stream (see below), dependent on medical
necessity criteria and guidelines:

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally
accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates
and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our
management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters
that are inherently uncertain.
Our
critical accounting policies and estimates are those where we have made
difficult, subjective or complex judgments in making estimates, and/or where
these estimates can significantly impact our financial results under different
assumptions and conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates
are:
·
|
Revenue
Recognition
|
·
|
Accounts
Receivable
|
Revenue
Recognition
Net
revenues are recognized in the period when tests are performed and consist
primarily of net patient revenues that are recorded based on established
billing
rates less estimated discounts for contractual allowances principally for
patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid and managed care and other health
plans. These revenues also are subject to review and possible audit
by the payers. We believe that adequate provision has been made for
any adjustments that may result from final determination of amounts earned
under
all the above arrangements. There are no known material claims,
disputes or unsettled matters with any payers that are not adequately provided
for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
16
Accounts
Receivable
We
record
accounts receivable net of estimated and contractual discounts. We
provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future
by
establishing an allowance to reduce the carrying value of such receivables
to
their estimated net realizable value. We estimate this allowance based on
the
aging of our accounts receivable and our historical collection experience
for
each type of payer. Bad debts are charged off to the allowance
account at the time they are deemed uncollectible.
Results
of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2007 as Compared
To
The Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
Revenue
For
the three months ended March 31,
2007 our revenues increased 67% to approximately $2,242,700 from approximately
$1,343,800 in the first three months of 2006. This was the result of a 57.5%
increase in testing volume and a 6.0% increase in average revenue per
test. This increase in average revenue per test is primarily the
result of an increase in the reimbursement rate for flow cytometry tests
paid by
Medicare.
Cost
of Revenue
For
the three months ended March 31,
2007 our cost of revenue increased 62% to approximately $936,700 from
approximately $576,800 in 2006. This was the result of the 57% increase in
testing volume and is explained primarily as follows:
·
|
Increase
of approximately 88% in employee and benefit related
costs
|
·
|
Increase
of approximately 470% in facility
costs;
|
·
|
Increase
of approximately 71% in supply costs;
and
|
·
|
Increase
of approximately 133% in postage and delivery
costs.
|
Gross
Profit
As
a result of these increases in
revenue and cost of revenue, our gross profit percentage for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 increased to 58% from 57% for the first three months
ended
March 31, 2006.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
During
the three months ended March
31, 2007, our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses
increased by approximately 142% to approximately $1,426,500 from approximately
$590,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was
primarily the result of higher personnel and personnel-related expenses,
associated with the increase in management, sales and administrative headcount
that was necessary to manage the significant increases in test volumes described
above. In addition, our SG&A expenses also include all of our overhead and
technology expenses and bad debt reserves, which also had to increase as
a
result of higher test volumes and increased revenue. SG&A
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 also included approximately
$159,000 of legal expenses related to the lawsuit from Accupath Diagnostics
Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a US Labs (“US Labs”), whereas no such legal expenses
were included in SG&A for the three months ended March 31,
2006. SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2007 also
included non-cash expense related to stock compensation of approximately
$94,000
compared to similar expenses of approximately $7,700 for the three months
ended
March 31, 2006. There was also a non-cash impairment of fixed asset
expense of approximately $2,200 for the three-months ended March 31,
2007.
17
Other
Income and Expense
Interest
expense for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 increased approximately 42% to approximately $98,900
from
approximately $70,000 for the three months March 31, 2006. Interest expense
is
primarily comprised of interest payable on advances under our Credit Facility
from Aspen, which has increased as a result of our increased borrowing to
fund
operations, and to a lesser extent interest on capital leases entered into
during 2006 and early 2007.

Legal
Contingency
On
October 26, 2006,
Accupath Diagnostics Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a US Labs, a California
corporation
(“US Labs”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of Los Angeles (the “court”) against the Company and Robert
Gasparini, as an individual, and certain other employees and non-employees
of
NeoGenomics with respect to claims arising from discussions with
current and
former employees of the US Labs. US labs alleges, among other things,
that NeoGemonics engaged in unfair competition because it was provided
with
access to certain salary information of four recently hired sales
personnel
prior to the time of hire. We believe that US Labs’ claims against
NeoGenomics lack merit, and that there well-established laws that
affirm the
rights of employees to seek employment with any company they desire
and
employers to offer such employment to anyone they desire. US Labs
seeks unspecified monetary relief. As part of the complaint, US Labs
also sought preliminary injunctive relief against NeoGenomics,
and requested
that the Court bar NeoGenomics from, among other things: (a) inducing
any US labs’ employees to resign employment with US Labs; (b) soliciting,
interviewing or employing US Labs’ employees for employment; (c) directly or
indirectly soliciting US Labs’ customers with whom the four new employees of
NeoGenomics did business while employed at US Labs; and (d)
soliciting, initiating and/or maintaining economic relationships
with US Labs’
customers that are under contract with US Labs.
On
November 15, 2006 the Court heard arguments on US Labs’ request for a
preliminary injunction and denied the majority of US Labs’ request on the
grounds that US Labs had not demonstrated a likelihood of success
on the merits
of their claims. The Court did, however, issue a much narrower
preliminary injunction that prevents NeoGenomics from “soliciting” the US Labs’
customers of such new sales personnel until the issues are resolved
at the
trial. The preliminary injunction is limited only to the “soliciting”
of the US Labs’ customers of the sales personnel in question, and does not in
any way prohibit NeoGenomics from doing business with any such
customers to the
extent they have sought or seek a business relationship with
NeoGenomics on
their own initiative. Furthermore, NoeGemonics is not enjoined from
recruiting any additional personnel from US Labs through any
lawful
means. We believe that US labs’ claims will not be affirmed at the
trial; however, even if they were, NeoGemonics does not believe
such claims
would result in a material impact to our business. NoeGenomics
further believes that this lawsuit is nothing more that a blatant
attempt by a
large corporation to impede the progress of a smaller and more
nimble
competitor, and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves.
Discovery
commenced in December 2006
and discovery and motion filing is ongoing. While the Company
received
unsolicited and inaccurate salary information for three individuals
that were
ultimately hired, no evidence of misappropriation of trade secrets
has been
adduced by either side. As such, the Company is currently contemplating
filing
pre-trial motions to narrow or end the
litigation.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
the three months ended March 31,
2007, our operating activities used approximately $382,000 in
cash. This amount primarily resulted from cash to finance additional
receivables as a result of our increased revenues during this
period. We also spent approximately $24,400 of cash on new equipment
and lease financed approximately $239,600 of additional capital
equipment. We were able to finance operations and the cash
portion of equipment purchases primarily through the sale of equity securities
which provided approximately $863,200, net of transaction fees and expenses.
At
May 15, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$436,000.
On
January 18, 2006, the Company
entered into a binding letter agreement (the "Aspen Agreement") with Aspen
Select Healthcare, LP, which provides, among other things, that:
(a)
Aspen
waived certain pre-emptive rights in connection with the sale of $400,000
of
common stock at a purchase price of $0.20/share and the granting of 900,000
warrants with an exercise price of $0.26/share to a SKL Limited Partnership,
LP
("SKL" as more fully described below) in exchange for five year warrants
to
purchase 150,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.26/share;
(b)
Aspen
had the right, up to April 30, 2006, to purchase up to $200,000 of restricted
shares of our common stock at a purchase price per share of $0.20/share (1.0
million shares) and receive a five year warrant to purchase up to 450,000
shares
of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.26/share in connection with
such
purchase (the "Equity Purchase Rights"). On March 14, 2006, Aspen exercised
its
Equity Purchase Rights
18
(c)
Aspen
and the Company amended the Loan Agreement, dated March 23, 2005 (the “Loan
Agreement”) between the parties to extend the maturity date until September 30,
2007 and to modify certain covenants (such Loan Agreement as amended, the
“Credit Facility Amendment”).
(d)
Aspen
had the right, until April 30, 2006, to provide up to $200,000 of additional
secured indebtedness to us under the Credit Facility Amendment and receive
a
five year warrant to purchase up to 450,000 shares of our common stock with
an
exercise price of $0.26/share (the "New Debt Rights"). On March 30, 2006,
Aspen
exercised its New Debt Rights and entered into the definitive transaction
documentation for the Credit Facility Amendment and other such documents
required under the Aspen Agreement.
(e)
The
Company agreed to amend and restate that certain warrant agreement, dated
March
23, 2005 to provide that all 2,500,000 warrant shares (the "Existing Warrants")
were vested and the exercise price per share of such warrants was reset to
$0.31
per share; and
(f)
The
Company agreed to amend that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated
March
23, 2005 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), between the parties to
incorporate the Existing Warrants and any new shares or warrants issued to
Aspen
in connection with the Equity Purchase Rights or the New Debt
Rights.
We
borrowed an additional $100,000 from the Aspen credit facility in May 2006,
$25,000 in September 2006 and $50,000 in December 2006. At December 31, 2006,
$1,675,000 was outstanding on the credit facility, which bears interest at
prime
plus 6%, and $25,000 remained available. Subsequent to December 31, 2006
we
borrowed the remaining $25,000 available under the Aspen facility.
During
the period from January 18 - 21, 2006, the Company entered into agreements
with
four other shareholders who are parties to that certain Shareholders’ Agreement,
dated March 23, 2005, to exchange five year warrants to purchase 150,000
shares
of stock in the aggregate at an exercise price of $0.26/share for such
shareholders’ waiver of their pre-emptive rights under the Shareholders’
Agreement.
On
January 21, 2006 the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the
"Subscription") with SKL Family Limited Partnership, LP, a New Jersey limited
partnership, whereby SKL purchased 2.0 million shares (the "Subscription
Shares") of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $0.20/share
for
$400,000. Under the terms of the Subscription, the Subscription Shares are
restricted for a period of 24 months and then carry piggyback registration
rights to the extent that exemptions under Rule 144 are not available to
SKL. In
connection with the Subscription, the Company also issued a five year warrant
to
purchase 900,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of
$0.26/share. SKL has no previous affiliation with the
Company.
On
June
6, 2006 as a result of not terminating our Standby Equity Distribution Agreement
(“SEDA”) with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (“Cornell Capital”) a short-term
note payable in the amount of $50,000 became due to Cornell and was subsequently
paid in July 2006 from the proceeds of a $53,000 advance under the
SEDA.
19
The
following sales of common stock have been made under our SEDA with Cornell
since
it was first declared effective on August 1, 2005.

At
the present time, we anticipate that
based on our current business plan, operations and our plans to repay or
refinance the Aspen Credit Facility of $1.7 million that is due September
30,
2007, we will need to raise approximately $2 - $4 million of additional working
capital in FY2007. This estimate of our cash needs does not include
any additional funding which may be required for growth in our business beyond
that which is planned, strategic transactions or acquisitions. We
plan to raise this additional money through issuing a combination of debt
and/or
equity securities. To the extent we are not successful in this regard
upon the effectiveness of the post-effective amendment to our previously
filed
SB-2, we plan to use our SEDA with Cornell, which currently has $3,022,000
of
remaining availability to fund our operations. In the event that the
Company grows faster than we currently anticipate or we engage in strategic
transactions or acquisitions and our cash on hand and availability under
the
SEDA is not sufficient to meet our financing needs, we may need to raise
additional capital from other resources. In such event, the Company
may not be able to obtain such funding on attractive terms or at all and
the
Company may be required to curtail its operations. On May 15, 2007 we had
approximately $436,000 in cash on hand.
20
Capital
Expenditures
We
currently forecast capital expenditures for 2007 in order to execute on our
business plan. The amount and timing of such capital expenditures
will be determined by the volume of business, but we currently anticipate
that
we will need to purchase approximately $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 of additional
capital equipment during the next twelve months. We plan to fund
these expenditures through capital leases and/or through bank
financing. If we are unable to obtain such funding, we will need to
pay cash for these items or we will be required to curtail our equipment
purchases, which may have an impact on our ability to continue to grow our
revenues.
Subsequent
Events
On
April 2, 2007, we concluded a
definitive agreement with Power3 Medical Products, Inc., a New York Corporation
(“Power3”) regarding the formation of a joint venture Contract Research
Organization (“CRO”) and the issuance of convertible debentures and related
securities by Power3 to us. Power3 is an early stage company engaged in the
discovery, development, and commercialization of protein biomarkers. Under
the
terms of the agreement, we agreed to enter into a joint venture agreement
with
Power3 pursuant to which the parties will jointly own a CRO and begin
commercializing Power3’s intellectual property portfolio of seventeen patents
pending by developing diagnostic tests and other services around one or more
of
the 523 protein biomarkers that Power3 believes it has discovered to date.
Power3 has agreed to license all of its intellectual property on a non-exclusive
basis to the CRO for selected commercial applications as well as provide
certain
management personnel. We will provide access to cancer samples, management
and
sales & marketing personnel, laboratory facilities and working capital.
Subject to final negotiation if this joint venture agreement, we will own
a
minimum of 60% and up to 80% of the new CRO venture which is anticipated
to be
launched in the third or fourth quarter of FY 2007.
As
part of the definitive agreement, we
provided $200,000 of working capital to Power3 by purchasing a convertible
debenture on April 17, 2007 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”) between us and Power3. We were also granted two
irrevocable options to increase our stake in Power3 to up to 60% of the Power3
fully diluted shares outstanding. The first option (the “First
Option”) is a fixed option to purchase convertible preferred stock of Power3
that is convertible into such number of shares of Power3 common stock, in
one or
more transactions, up to 20% of Power3’s voting common stock at a purchase price
per share, which will also equal the initial conversion price per share,
equal
to the lesser of (a) $0.20/share, or (b) $20,000,000 divided by the
fully-diluted shares outstanding on the date of the exercise of the First
Option. This First Option is exercisable for a period starting on the date
of
purchase of the convertible debenture by NeoGenomics and extending until
the day
which is the later of (c) November 16, 2007 or (d) the date that certain
milestones specified in the agreement have been achieved. The First Option
is
exercisable in cash or NeoGenomics common stock at our option, provided,
however, that we must include at least $1.0 million of cash in the consideration
if we elect to exercise this First Option. In addition to purchasing convertible
preferred stock as part of the First Option, we are also entitled to receive
such number of warrants to purchase Power3 common tock that will permit us
to
maintain our current ownership percentage in Power3 on a fully diluted
basis. Such warrants will have an exercise price equal to the initial
conversion price of the convertible preferred stock that was purchased pursuant
to the First Option and will have a five year term.
21
The
second option (the “Second
Option”), which is only exercisable if we have exercised the First Option,
provides that we will have the irreversible option to increase our stake
in
Power3 to up to 60% of fully diluted shares of Power3 over the twelve month
period beginning on the expiration date of the First Option in one or a series
of transactions by purchasing additional convertible preferred stock of Power3
that is convertible into voting common stock and receiving additional warrants.
The purchase price per share, and the initial conversion price of the Second
Option convertible preferred stock will, to the extent such Second Option
is
exercised within six months of exercise of the First Option, be the lesser
of
(a) $0.40/share or (b) $40,000,000 divided by the fully diluted shares
outstanding on the date of any purchase. The purchase price per share, and
the
initial conversion price of the Second Option convertible preferred stock
will,
to the extent such Second Option is exercised after six months, but within
twelve months of exercise of the First Option, be the lesser of (y) $0.50/share
or (z) an equity price per share equal to $50,000,000 divided by the fully
diluted shares outstanding on the date of any purchase. The exercise price
of
the Second Option may be paid in cash or in any combination of cash and our
common stock at our option. In addition to purchasing convertible preferred
stock as part of the Second Option, we are also entitled to receive such
number
of warrants to purchase Power3 common stock that will permit us to maintain
our
current ownership percentage in Power3 on a fully diluted basis. Such
warrants will have an exercise price equal to the initial conversion price
of
the convertible preferred stock being purchased that date and will have a
five
year term.
The
Purchase Agreement granted us (1) a
right of first refusal with respect to future issuances of Power3 capital
stock
and (2) the right to appoint a member of the Power3 board of directors so
long
as we own 10% or more of Power3’s outstanding voting securities.
Operating
Leases
On
April
5, 2007, we entered into a lease for 8,195 square feet of laboratory space
in
Irvine, California. The lease is a five year lease and results in total payments
by the Company of approximately $771,000 including estimated operating and
maintenance expenses and property taxes. This lease will expire on
April 30, 2012.
Financing
As
described in Note B to the financial statements, we drew $500,000 from the
SEDA
subsequent to March 31, 2007.
On
May 8,
2007 we filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement that
was
originally declared effective on August 1, 2005 in connection with registering
shares for our Cornell Capital SEDA and other private placements that took
place
in 2003 and 2004. The purpose of this filing was to update the
financial statements in this Registration Statement for fiscal year 2006
only,
and this post-effective amendment does not register any new shares on behalf
of
the Company. In the original Registration Statement, 5.0 million
shares were reserved for issuances in connection with the Cornell Capital
SEDA
and 5.0 million shares were registered by shareholders who previously purchased
shares from the Company in 2003 and 2004. As of May 15, 2007, the
Company had issued 1,786,669 shares in connection with the Cornell Capital
SEDA,
thus leaving a maximum of 3,213,331 shares available for issuance under the
SEDA.
Staffing
As
of
March 31, 2007, we had fifty-nine full-time employees. During the remainder
of
FY 2007, we plan to add additional laboratory technologists and laboratory
assistants to assist us in handling a greater volume of tests and to perform
sponsored research projects. In addition, we intend to continue
building our sales force in an effort to sustain our sales growth, as well
as
add personnel in management, accounting, and administrative
functions. The number of such additional personnel and their salaries
will be determined by the volume of business we are generating and the
availability of adequate financial resources to pay the salaries of such
personnel.
22
Risks
Related To Our Business
We
are subject to various risks that
may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
An investor should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described
below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase
our
common stock. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our
business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed.
In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline or we may
be
forced to cease operations.
We
Have A Limited Operating History Upon Which You Can Evaluate Our
Business
The
Company commenced revenue operations in 2002 and is just beginning to generate
meaningful revenue. Accordingly, the Company has a limited operating
history upon which an evaluation of the Company and its prospects can be
based. The Company and its prospects must be considered in light of
the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies
in the
rapidly evolving market for healthcare and medical laboratory
services. To address these risks, the Company must, among other
things, respond to competitive developments, attract, retain and motivate
qualified personnel, implement and successfully execute its sales strategy,
develop and market additional services, and upgrade its technological and
physical infrastructure in order to scale its revenues. The Company
may not be successful in addressing such risks. The limited operating
history of the Company makes the prediction of future results of operations
difficult or impossible.
We
May Not Be Able To Implement The Company’s Business Strategies Which Could
Impair Our Ability to Continue Operations
Implementation
of the Company’s business strategies will depend in large part on the Company’s
ability to (i) attract and maintain a significant number of customers; (ii)
effectively provide acceptable products and services to the Company’s customers;
(iii) obtain adequate financing on favorable terms to fund the Company’s
business strategies; (iv) maintain appropriate procedures, policies, and
systems; (v) hire, train, and retain skilled employees; (vi) continue to
operate
with increasing competition in the medical laboratory industry; (vii) establish,
develop and maintain name recognition; and (viii) establish and maintain
beneficial relationships with third-party insurance providers and other third
party payers. The Company’s inability to obtain or maintain any or
all these factors could impair its ability to implement its business strategies
successfully, which could have material adverse effects on its results of
operations and financial condition, and could force us to curtail our business
operations.
We
May Be Unsuccessful In Managing Our Growth Which Could Prevent the Company
From
Becoming Profitable
The
Company’s recent growth has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a
significant strain on its managerial, operational and financial
resources. To manage its potential growth, the Company must continue
to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand,
train and manage its employee base. The Company may not be able to
effectively manage the expansion of its operations and the Company’s systems,
procedures or controls may not be adequate to support the Company’s
operations. The Company’s management may not be able to achieve the
rapid execution necessary to fully exploit the market opportunity for the
Company’s products and services. Any inability to manage growth could
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations,
potential profitability and financial condition, and could force us to curtail
our business operations.
23
Part
of
the Company’s business strategy may be to acquire assets or other companies that
will complement the Company’s existing business. The Company is unable to
predict whether or when any material transaction will be completed should
negotiations commence. If the Company proceeds with any such
transaction, the Company may not effectively integrate the acquired operations
with the Company’s own operations. The Company may also seek to
finance any such acquisition by debt financings or issuances of equity
securities and such financing may not be available on acceptable terms or
at
all. If any of these things happen the company could be forced to
curtail our business operations.
We
May Incur Greater Costs Than Anticipated, Which Could Result in Sustained
Losses
The
Company has used reasonable efforts to assess and predict the expenses necessary
to pursue its business plan. However, implementing the Company’s business plan
may require more employees, capital equipment, supplies or other expenditure
items than management has predicted. Similarly, the cost of
compensating additional management, employees and consultants or other operating
costs may be more than the Company estimates, which could result in sustained
losses.
Significant
Costs May Be Incurred in Excess of Our Business Plan with Regard to
Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance That the Government is Mandating for Small
Businesses
The
Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) has issued a final rule with regards to non-accelerated filers being in
compliance with the Section 404 internal control requirements of the Sarbanes
Oxley Act (“SOX 404”). In December 2006, the SEC extended the
deadline of non-accelerated filer’s management’s report on internal controls to
fiscal years ending after December 31, 2007. The deadline for
audits of internal controls was extended to fiscal years ending after December
31, 2008. The SEC has also issued guidance with respect to
reducing the cost of compliance with this rule and is working with Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) to change
audit standards to reach this end. The SEC has also promised guidance
to management which has still not been released. On average the cost
of compliance with SOX404 has been 4% of a company’s revenue. Our
current business plan includes expenses related to SOX 404 compliance but
not at
4% of our revenue as we feel we can do it more efficiently. If the
guidance of the SEC and work done with PCAOB is not successful in reducing
these
costs this could significantly harm our business and require us to spend
significant amounts of money on non-value added compliance rather than with
value-added growth of our business.
We
May Face Fluctuations in Results of Operations Which Could Negatively Affect
Our
Business Operations and We are Subject to Seasonality in our
Business
As
a result of the Company’s limited
operating history and the relatively limited information available on the
Company’s competitors, the Company may not have sufficient internal or
industry-based historical financial data upon which to calculate anticipated
operating expenses. Management expects that the Company’s results of
operations may also fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of
a
variety of factors, including, but not limited to, (i) the continued rate
of
growth, usage and acceptance of the Company’s products and services; (ii) demand
for the Company’s products and services; (iii) the introduction and acceptance
of new or enhanced products or services by us or by competitors; (iv) the
Company’s ability to anticipate and effectively adapt to developing markets and
to rapidly changing technologies; (v) the Company’s ability to attract, retain
and motivate qualified personnel; (vi) the initiation, renewal or expiration
of
significant contracts with the Company’s major clients; (vii) pricing changes by
us, our suppliers or our competitors; (viii) seasonality; and (ix) general
economic conditions and other factors. Accordingly, future sales and
operating results are difficult to forecast. The Company’s expenses
are based in part on the Company’s expectations as to future revenues and to a
significant extent are relatively fixed, at least in the
short-term. The Company may not be able to adjust spending in a
timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue
shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in relation to the
Company’s expectations would have an immediate adverse impact on the Company’s
business, results of operations and financial condition, and could force
us to
curtail our business operations. In addition, the Company may
determine from time to time to make certain pricing or marketing decisions
or
acquisitions that could have a short-term material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition and may not
result in the long-term benefits intended. Furthermore, in Florida,
currently a primary referral market for our lab testing services, a meaningful
percentage of the population returns to homes in the Northern U.S. to avoid
the
hot summer months. This may result in seasonality in our
business. Because of all of the foregoing factors, the
Company’s operating results could be less than the expectations of investors in
future periods.
24
We
Substantially Depend Upon Third Parties for Payment of Services, Which Could
Have A Material Adverse Affect On Our Cash Flows And Results Of
Operations
The
Company is a clinical medical laboratory that provides medical testing services
to doctors, hospitals, and other laboratories on patient specimens that are
sent
to the Company. In the case of most specimen referrals that are
received for patients that are not in-patients at a hospital or institution
or
otherwise sent by another reference laboratory, the Company generally has
to
bill the patient’s insurance company or a government program for its
services. As such it relies on the cooperation of numerous third
party payers, including but not limited to Medicare, Medicaid and various
insurance companies, in order to get paid for performing services on behalf
of
the Company’s clients. Wherever possible, the amount of such third
party payments is governed by contractual relationships in cases where the
Company is a participating provider for a specified insurance company or
by
established government reimbursement rates in cases where the Company is
an
approved provider for a government program such as Medicare. However,
the Company does not have a contractual relationship with many of the insurance
companies with whom it deals, nor is it necessarily able to become an approved
provider for all government programs. In such cases, the Company is
deemed to be a non-participating provider and there is no contractual assurance
that the Company is able to collect the amounts billed to such insurance
companies or government programs. Currently, the Company is not a
participating provider with the majority of the insurance companies it bills
for
its services. Until such time as the Company becomes a participating
provider with such insurance companies, there can be no contractual assurance
that the Company will be paid for the services it bills to such insurance
companies, and such third parties may change their reimbursement policies
for
non-participating providers in a manner that may have a material adverse
affect
on the Company’s cash flow or results of operations, and could force us to
curtail our business operations.
Our
Business Is Subject To Rapid Scientific Change, Which Could Have A Material
Adverse Affect On Our Business, Results of Operations And Financial
Condition
The
market for genetic and molecular testing services is characterized by rapid
scientific developments, evolving industry standards and customer demands,
and
frequent new product introductions and enhancements. The Company’s
future success will depend in significant part on its ability to continually
improve its offerings in response to both evolving demands of the marketplace
and competitive service offerings, if the Company is not successful in improving
it offerings, we could be forced to curtail our business
operations.
25
The
Market For Our Services Is Highly Competitive, Which Could Have A Material
Adverse Affect On Our Business, Results Of Operations And Financial
Condition
The
market for genetic and molecular testing services is highly competitive and
competition is expected to continue to increase. The Company competes
with other commercial medical laboratories in addition to the in-house
laboratories of many major hospitals. Many of the Company’s existing
competitors have significantly greater financial, human, technical and marketing
resources than the Company. The Company’s competitors may develop
products and services that are superior to those of the Company or that achieve
greater market acceptance than the Company’s offerings. The Company
may not be able to compete successfully against current and future sources
of
competition and in such case, this may have a material adverse effect on
the
Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, and could
force us to curtail our business operations.
We
Face The Risk of Capacity Constraints, Which Could Have A Material Adverse
Affect On Our Business, Results Of Operations And Financial
Condition
We
compete in the market place primarily on three factors: a) the
quality and accuracy of our test results; b) the speed or turn-around times
of
our testing services; and c) our ability to provide after-test support to
those
physicians requesting consultation. Any unforeseen increase in the
volume of customers could strain the capacity of our personnel and systems,
which could lead to inaccurate test results, unacceptable turn-around times,
or
customer service failures. In addition, as the number of customers
and cases increases, the Company’s products, services, and infrastructure may
not be able to scale accordingly. Any failure to handle higher volume
of requests for the Company’s products and services could lead to the loss of
established customers and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, results of operations and financial condition, and could force
us to
curtail our business operations.
If
we
produce inaccurate test results, our customers may choose not to use us in
the
future. This could severely harm our business, results of operations
and financial condition. In addition, based on the importance of the
subject matter of our tests, inaccurate results could result in improper
treatment of patients, and potential liability for the Company.
We
May Fail to Protect Our Facilities, Which Could Have A Material Adverse Affect
On Our Business, Results Of Operations And Financial
Condition
The
Company’s operations are dependent in part upon its ability to protect its
laboratory operations against physical damage from fire, floods, hurricanes,
power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar
events. The Company does not presently have emergency back-up
generators in place at its Fort Myers, Fl, Nashville, TN and Irvine, CA
laboratory locations that could mitigate, to some extent, the effects of
a
prolonged power outage. The occurrence of any of these events could
result in interruptions, delays or cessations in service to customers, which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of
operations and financial condition, and could force us to curtail our business
operations.
The
Steps Taken By The Company To Protect Its Proprietary Rights May Not Be
Adequate
The
Company regards its copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and similar
intellectual property as critical to its success, and the Company relies
upon
trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality
and/or
license agreements with its employees, customers, partners and others to
protect
its proprietary rights. The steps taken by the Company to protect its
proprietary rights may not be adequate or third parties may infringe or
misappropriate the Company’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and similar
proprietary rights. In addition, other parties may assert
infringement claims against the Company. If third parties infringe on
our proprietary rights or if we have an infringement claim presented against
us
it could force us to curtail our business operations.
26
We
are Dependent on Key Personnel and Need to Hire Additional Qualified
Personnel
The
Company’s performance is substantially dependent on the performance of its
senior management and key technical personnel. In particular, the
Company’s success depends substantially on the continued efforts of its senior
management team, which currently is composed of a small number of
individuals. The Company does not carry key person life insurance on
any of its senior management personnel, other than its President and Chief
Scientific Officer. The loss of the services of any of its executive
officers, its laboratory director or other key employees could have a material
adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition
of
the Company.
The
Company’s future success also depends on its continuing ability to attract and
retain highly qualified technical and managerial
personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and the Company
may not be able to retain its key managerial and technical employees or may
not
be able to attract and retain additional highly qualified technical and
managerial personnel in the future. The inability to attract and
retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel could have a material
adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations and financial
condition.
The
Failure to Obtain Necessary Additional Capital to Finance Growth and Capital
Requirements, Could Adversely Affect The Company’s Business, Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
The
Company may seek to exploit business opportunities that require more capital
than what is currently planned. The Company may not be able to raise
such capital on favorable terms or at all. If the Company is unable
to obtain such additional capital, the Company may be required to reduce
the
scope of its anticipated expansion, which could adversely affect the Company’s
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our
Net Revenue will be Diminished If Payers do not Adequately Cover or Reimburse
our Services.
There
has been and will continue to
be significant efforts by both federal and state agencies to reduce costs
in
government healthcare programs and otherwise implement government control
of
healthcare costs. In addition, increasing emphasis on managed care in the
U.S.
may continue to put pressure on the pricing of healthcare services. Uncertainty
exists as to the coverage and reimbursement status of new applications or
services. Third party payers, including governmental payers such as Medicare
and
private payers, are scrutinizing new medical products and services and may
not
cover or may limit coverage and the level of reimbursement for our services.
Third party insurance coverage may not be available to patients for any of
our
existing assays or assays we discover and develop. However, a substantial
portion of the testing for which we bill our hospital and laboratory clients
is
ultimately paid by third party payers. Any pricing pressure exerted by these
third party payers on our customers may, in turn, be exerted by our customers
on
us. If government and other third party payers do not provide adequate coverage
and reimbursement for our assays, our operating results, cash flows or financial
condition may decline.
Our
Operations are Subject to Strict Laws Prohibiting Fraudulent Billing and
Other
Abuse, and our Failure to Comply with Such Laws could Result in Substantial
Penalties.
Of
particular importance to our
operations are federal and state laws prohibiting fraudulent billing and
providing for the recovery of non-fraudulent overpayments, as a large number
of
laboratories have been forced by the federal and state governments, as well
as
by private payers, to enter into substantial settlements under these laws.
In
particular, if an entity is determined to have violated the federal False
Claims
Act, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained
by
the government, plus civil penalties of between $5,500 to $11,000 for each
separate false claim. There are many potential bases for liability under
the
federal False Claims Act. Liability arises, primarily, when an entity knowingly
submits, or causes another to submit, a false claim for reimbursement to
the
federal government. Submitting a claim with reckless disregard or deliberate
ignorance of its truth or falsity could result in substantial civil liability.
A
trend affecting the healthcare industry is the increased use of the federal
False Claims Act and, in particular, actions under the False Claims Act’s
“whistleblower” or “qui tam” provisions to challenge providers and suppliers.
Those provisions allow a private individual to bring actions on behalf of
the
government alleging that the defendant has submitted a fraudulent claim for
payment to the federal government. The government must decide whether to
intervene in the lawsuit and to become the primary prosecutor. If it declines
to
do so, the individual may choose to pursue the case alone, although the
government must be kept apprised of the progress of the lawsuit. Whether
or not
the federal government intervenes in the case, it will receive the majority
of
any recovery. In addition, various states have enacted laws modeled after
the
federal False Claims Act.
27
Government
investigations of clinical
laboratories have been ongoing for a number of years and are expected to
continue in the future. Written “corporate compliance” programs to actively
monitor compliance with fraud laws and other regulatory requirements are
recommended by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the
Inspector General. Such deficiencies, if found, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial
condition and subject us to liability.
The
Failure to Comply With Significant Government Regulation and Laboratory
Operations May Subject the Company to Liability, Penalties or Limitation
of
Operations
As
discussed in the Government Regulation section of our business description,
the
Company is subject to extensive state and federal regulatory
oversight. Our laboratory locations may not pass inspections
conducted to ensure compliance with CLIA `88 or with any other applicable
licensure or certification laws. The sanctions for failure to comply with
CLIA
`88 or state licensure requirements might include the inability to perform
services for compensation or the suspension, revocation or limitation of
the
laboratory location’s CLIA `88 certificate or state license, as well as civil
and/or criminal penalties. In addition, any new legislation or
regulation or the application of existing laws and regulations in ways that
we
have not anticipated could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Existing
federal laws governing Medicare and Medicaid, as well as some other state
and
federal laws, also regulate certain aspects of the relationship between
healthcare providers, including clinical and anatomic laboratories, and their
referral sources, including physicians, hospitals and other laboratories.
Certain provisions of these laws, known as the "anti-kickback law" and the
“Stark Laws”, contain extremely broad proscriptions. Violation of these laws may
result in criminal penalties, exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid, and
significant civil monetary penalties. We will seek to structure our
arrangements with physicians and other customers to be in compliance with
the
anti-kickback, Stark and state laws, and to keep up-to-date on developments
concerning their application by various means, including consultation with
legal
counsel. However, we are unable to predict how these laws will be
applied in the future and the arrangements into which we enter may become
subject to scrutiny thereunder.
Furthermore,
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA")
and
other state laws contains provisions that affect the handling of claims and
other patient information that are, or have been, transmitted electronically
and
regulate the general disclosure of patient records and patient health
information. These provisions, which address security and confidentiality
of
patient information as well as the administrative aspects of claims handling,
have very broad applicability and they specifically apply to healthcare
providers, which include physicians and clinical laboratories. Although we
believe we have complied with the Standards, Security and Privacy rules under
HIPAA and state laws, an audit of our procedures and systems could find
deficiencies.
28
We
Are Subject to Security Risks Which Could Harm Our
Operations
Despite
the implementation of various security measures by the Company, the Company’s
infrastructure is vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar
disruptive problems caused by its customers or others. Computer
viruses, break-ins or other security problems could lead to interruption,
delays
or cessation in service to the Company’s customers. Further, such
break-ins whether electronic or physical could also potentially jeopardize
the
security of confidential information stored in the computer systems of the
Company’s customers and other parties connected through the Company, which may
deter potential customers and give rise to uncertain liability to parties
whose
security or privacy has been infringed. A significant security breach
could result in loss of customers, damage to the Company’s reputation, direct
damages, costs of repair and detection, and other expenses. The
occurrence of any of the foregoing events could have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial
condition.
The
Company Is Controlled by Existing Shareholders Therefore Other Shareholders
Will
Not Be Able to Direct The Company
The
majority of the Company’s shares and thus voting control of the Company is held
by a relatively small group of shareholders. Because of such
ownership, those shareholders will effectively retain control of the Company’s
Board of Directors and determine all of the Company’s corporate
actions. In addition, the Company and shareholders owning 13,106,579
shares, or approximately 46.7% of the Company’s voting shares outstanding as of
May 15, 2007 have executed a Shareholders’ Agreement that, among other
provisions, gives Aspen Select Healthcare, LP, our largest shareholder, the
right to elect three out of the seven directors authorized for our Board,
and
nominate one mutually acceptable independent director. Accordingly,
it is anticipated that Aspen Select Healthcare, LP and other parties to the
Shareholders’ Agreement will continue to have the ability to elect a controlling
number of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and the minority
shareholders of the Company may not be able to elect a representative to
the
Company’s Board of Directors. Such concentration of ownership may
also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the
Company.
No
Foreseeable Dividends
The
Company does not anticipate paying dividends on its common shares in the
foreseeable future. Rather, the Company plans to retain earnings, if
any, for the operation and expansion of Company business.
Item
3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(A) Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of the
end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the effectiveness of
the
design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving the Company’s
disclosure control objectives. The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance
level as of the period covered. In addition, the Company reviewed its
internal controls, and there have been no significant changes in its internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls
subsequent to the date of their last evaluation or from the end of the reporting
period to the date of this Form 10-QSB.
29
(B) Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
In
connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls during the
three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Accounting Officer have determined that there are no changes to
the
Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal
controls over financial reporting.
