Operating Matters and Liquidity
Note 2—Operating Matters and Liquidity
 
The Company has experienced net operating losses since its inception through June 30, 2014. The Company had net losses of $7.1 million and $5.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, contributing to an accumulated deficit of $118 million as of June 30, 2014.
 
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 7 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 (the “May 2013 Private Placement”), 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 Second Amendment to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated May 30, 2014, each Purchaser has the right, at any time on or before December 31, 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 December 31, 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 continued revenue to fund its operations.
 
On February 25, 2013, as amended on November 1, 2013, the Company entered into a Preferred Participation Agreement with Renaissance Health Services Corporation (RHSC), for itself and on behalf of certain of its affiliates and subsidiaries. RHSC is an affiliate of eight Delta Dental member companies in their eight respective states. Pursuant to this agreement, affiliates of RHSC agreed to work to develop dental benefit plans that provided for use of the PerioPredict™ test and reimbursement of the test at an agreed upon price (each such plan, hereinafter referred to as a “Reimbursed Dental Plan”). RHSC has informed us that it has presented the scientific data underlying the Reimbursed Dental Plans to a number of customers and will make available Reimbursed Dental Plans as an alternative to a customer’s current plan for any customer that expresses an interest in such a plan. 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 addition, the Company has begun to contact other insurance companies and dental care providers with respect to the use of PerioPredict™ in their dental care policies. The amount of cash the Company generates from operations is currently not sufficient to continue to fund operations and grow its business. The Company expects that its current and anticipated financial resources will be adequate to maintain current and planned operations at least through November 30, 2014. If the Company is unable to obtain funding from its current or new investors, it may have to end its operations and seek protection under bankruptcy laws. The Company will need significant additional capital to fund its continued operations, to facilitate the continued commercial launch of the PerioPredict™ genetic test, for continued research and development efforts, and for obtaining and protecting patents and administrative expenses. There is no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed on terms that are acceptable to the Company or at all.
 
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.
