Nature of the Business

NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Parent,” “Company,” or “NeoGenomics”), and its subsidiaries, operate as a certified, high complexity clinical laboratory in accordance with the federal government’s Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act, as amended, and is dedicated to the delivery of clinical diagnostic services to pathologists, oncologists, urologists, hospitals, and other laboratories as well as providing clinical trial services to pharmaceutical firms.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and the disease has since spread across the world, including the United States (“U.S.”). In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The outbreak of the pandemic is materially adversely affecting the Company’s employees, patients, communities, and business operations, as well as the U.S. economy and financial markets. The full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national, and international markets. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may continue to be materially adversely affected, particularly if the pandemic continues to persist for a significant amount of time.

The Company anticipates that the cash on hand, marketable securities, and expected cash collections are sufficient to fund near-term capital and operating needs for at least the next 12 months.

At the end of the first quarter 2021, due to the broad roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine and a sharp decline in COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) testing demand, the Company made the decision to exit COVID-19 PCR testing and the Company recorded a $6.1 million loss related to the exit from COVID-19 PCR testing. This amount consisted of write-offs of $5.3 million for all remaining COVID-19 PCR testing inventory recorded to cost of revenue and $0.8 million for all remaining COVID-19 PCR testing laboratory equipment recorded to general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no such amounts recorded for each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act

The Federal government passed legislation and the President of the United States signed into law on March 27, 2020, known as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). On April 10, 2020, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services announced that Medicare-enrolled providers would receive a portion of a direct deposit disbursement totaling $50 billion. The $50 billion is part of a $100 billion Public Health and Social Service Emergency Fund created by the CARES Act. Payments made under the CARES Act are intended to reimburse healthcare providers for health care related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19 and are not required to be repaid provided that recipients attest to and comply with certain terms and conditions, including limitations on balance billing for COVID-19 patients. In the absence of specific guidance to account for government grants in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company accounts for such grants in accordance with international accounting standards for government grants. Such amounts are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will (1) comply with the conditions associated with the grant and (2) receive the grant.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $7.9 million in grant income related to the CARES Act. No such amounts were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019. CARES Act grant income is classified in other income, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The CARES Act also permits the deferral of payment of the employer portion of social security taxes between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020. 50% of the deferred amount was due on December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% is due on December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the total accrued deferred social security taxes, related to the CARES Act was $3.0 million. This amount was recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2020, the total accrued deferred social security taxes, related to the CARES Act was $5.9 million which was recorded evenly between accrued expenses and other liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Additionally, the CARES Act included an Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”) provision designed to encourage employers to retain employees on their payroll. The ERTC is a refundable tax credit against certain payroll taxes paid by employers for eligible wages paid between March 13, 2020 and September 30, 2021 that meet the requirements of the ERTC provision. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $1.9 million in credits under the ERTC which was included in (loss) income from operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the fourth quarter of 2021 the Company recorded $4.4 million and $1.9 million in expense in (loss) income from operations related to non-reoccurring reversals and reserves against tax credits previously recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and in the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.
