Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates, judgments and assumptions. Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions used in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, those related to revenues, accounts receivable and related reserves, contingencies, useful lives and recovery of long-term and intangible assets, income taxes, and the fair value of stock-based compensation. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of material revisions in estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements prospectively from the date of the change in estimate.

Research and Development

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of compensation and benefits for research and development personnel, amortization of intangibles, related supplies, inventory and payment for samples to complete validation studies. These expenses were incurred to develop new genetic tests.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are recorded at fair value which is our cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company’s intangible assets are related to our license agreement with Health Discovery Corporation.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to revenue and accounts receivable are primarily limited to certain clients to whom the Company provides a significant volume of its services, and to specific payers of our services such as Medicare and individual insurance companies. The Company’s client base consists of a large number of geographically dispersed clients diversified across various customer types. Over the last year, we have expanded our relationship with a large oncology practice with multiple office locations, each of which is a separate client to NeoGenomics. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, all of the affiliated client office locations from this oncology practice combined represented approximately 15.3% of our revenue compared to 9.9% of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 represented approximately 16.6% of our revenue compared to 6.0% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011. All other clients were less than 5% of total revenue individually.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We compute income taxes in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Also, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Temporary differences between financial and tax reporting arise primarily from the use of different depreciation methods for property and equipment, stock based compensation expense and the timing of recognition of bad debts.
