Part III -- Narrative
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report, or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
Roka Bioscience, Inc. (the "Company") was unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 (the "Form 10-Q"), within the time period prescribed for such report without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company has determined there is an impairment of its long-lived asset group including its intangible asset as of June 30, 2017 and requires additional time to finalize its assessment. The Company expects to realize an impairment charge in the range of $10 million to $15 million. As a result of the impairment charge, there will be a corresponding increase in the Company's Loss from operations, Loss before income taxes and Net loss and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Based upon its current and projected cash flow, the Company notes there continues to be substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. This is consistent with the disclosures included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. See Part IV below.

þ Yes o No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company expects to report an increased net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of the impairment charge ranging between $10 million and $15 million noted in Part III above. The financial information set forth herein consists of preliminary and estimated results, which could change materially and will not be final until the Company files its unaudited financial statements in its Form 10-Q.
