Operating Matters and Liquidity
Note 2—Operating Matters and Liquidity
 
The Company has experienced net operating losses since its inception through December 31, 2013. The Company had net losses of $7.1 million and $5.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, contributing to an accumulated deficit of $114.8 million as of December 31, 2013.
 
The Company continues to take steps to reduce genetic test processing costs. Cost savings are primarily achieved through test process improvements. Management believes that the current laboratory space is adequate to process high volumes of genetic tests.
 
As more fully discussed in Note 10 herein, on May 17, 2013, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with various accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 43,715,847 shares of its common stock in a private placement transaction, at a price of $0.2745 per share for gross proceeds of $12,000,000. The investors also received warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 32,786,885 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.2745 per share. The warrants are exercisable as to 63% of the shares immediately and as to 37% of the shares following receipt of shareholder approval, which occurred on August 9, 2013, of an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000, and have a term of seven years from the date they became exercisable.
 
In addition, pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, each Purchaser has the right, at any time on or before June 30, 2014, to purchase at one or more subsequent closings its pro rata share of up to an aggregate of $5,000,000 of additional shares of common stock and warrants on the same terms and conditions as those set forth above. If, prior to June 30, 2014, investors have not purchased their entire pro rata share of such additional investment of $5,000,000, those who have purchased their entire pro rata share of the additional investment, will be entitled to purchase the unsold portion of the additional investment.
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company expects to incur additional losses in 2014 and, accordingly, is dependent on financings and potential revenue to fund its operations in the commercial launch of the PerioPredict™ test with Renaissance Health Services Corporation (“RHSC”), the parent corporation of eight Delta Dental member companies operating in their eight respective states. RHSC has begun offering dental plans in a phased launch to smaller employer groups that incorporates our genetic PerioPredict™ test for plan years beginning in January 2014. The timing of any revenues that we may receive under this agreement is dependent upon the timing of the offering of such plans, which timing is very uncertain at this time, and is contingent upon a number of factors, including RHSC’s affiliates’ ability to develop such plans and to develop a viable market for such plans. In the latter half of 2014 and 2015, RHSC is expected to offer dental plans that incorporate our genetic test to a broader group of employer customers. The Company expects to have the cash resources necessary, for at least the next twelve months, to support the launch of the PerioPredict™ genetic test in dental offices in collaboration with RHSC.
 
The ability of the Company to realize the carrying value of its fixed assets and intangible assets is especially dependent on management’s ability to successfully execute on its plan. The Company needs to generate additional funds in order to meet its financial obligations. If it is unsuccessful in doing so, the Company may not be able to realize the carrying value of its fixed assets and intangible assets.
