Segments

In accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”), the Company discloses financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments.

ASC 280 establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements and requires that companies report financial and descriptive information about their reportable segments based on a management approach. ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), which for the Company is its Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. We maintain two operating segments: diagnostic services (which includes our COVID-19 and other diagnostic testing services) and consumer products (which includes our contract manufacturing, retail customers and personal genomics products and services) (see Note 15 Segment Information).

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Examples include revenue recognition and the impact of the variable consideration of diagnostic test reimbursement rates, the provision for uncollectible receivables and billing errors, allowances, slow moving and/or dated inventory and associated provisions, the potential impairment of long-lived assets, stock based compensation valuations, income tax asset valuations and assumptions related to accrued advertising.

Our estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. Management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments on a quarterly basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash as of December 31, 2021 includes approximately $250,000 held in escrow related to a potential purchase of an additional lab facility. The potential purchase was not consummated, and we are pursuing the return of the escrow, which is in dispute. As of June 30, 2022, we recognized an expense for this balance as the recovery of the funds was no longer considered probable.

Marketable Equity Securities

Marketable Equity Securities

Marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value of marketable equity securities is recognized within other non-operating income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

On June 25, 2021, we were issued 1,260,619 common shares (the “Investment Shares”) as an interest payment under our note receivable (see Note 13, Consulting Agreement and Secured Promissory Note Receivable) with a fair value of $315,000 at the time of issuance and a fair value of $76,000 at December 31, 2021. The investment was classified as a Level 1 financial instrument. We recorded a $76,000 decrease in fair value of investment securities within the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Inventory, net

Inventory, net

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis (“FIFO”), or net realizable value. Inventory items are analyzed to determine cost and the net realizable value and appropriate valuation adjustments are established.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the components of inventory are as follows (in thousands):

Schedule of Components of Inventory

	June 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
Diagnostic services testing material	$	2,122		$	2,989
Raw materials		1,721			1,514
Work in process		676			260
Finished goods		421			272
Inventory	$	4,940		$	5,035
Inventory valuation reserve		(431	)		(435	)
Inventory, net	$	4,509		$	4,600

Concentration of Financial Risks

Concentration of Financial Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments, marketable debt securities, and accounts receivable. Our marketable securities are fixed income investments, which are highly liquid and can be readily purchased or sold through established markets.

We maintain cash and cash equivalents with certain major financial institutions. As of June 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balance was $24.0 million. Of the total bank balance, $0.9 million was covered by federal depository insurance and $23.1 million was uninsured at June 30, 2022.

Accounts receivable subject us to credit risk concentrations from time-to-time. We extend credit to our consumer healthcare product customers based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history and generally do not require collateral. Our diagnostic services receivable credit risk is based on payer reimbursement experience, which includes government agencies and healthcare insurers, the period the receivables have been outstanding and the historical collection rates. The collectability of the diagnostic services receivables is also directly linked to the quality of our billing processes, which depends on information provided to the payors and meeting their requirements for reimbursement.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the underlying identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized, but instead are assessed for impairment annually. Additionally, if an event or change in circumstances occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value, we would evaluate goodwill at that time.

In testing for goodwill impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is not required. If we conclude otherwise, we are required to perform the two-step impairment test. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its respective carrying value. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill at the reporting unit level is not impaired. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment charge will be recorded to reduce the reporting unit to fair value.

Intangible assets deemed to have finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, where the useful life is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly, or indirectly, to our future cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue that represents the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. We recognize revenue when performance obligations with our customers have been satisfied. At contract inception, we evaluate the contract to determine if revenue should be recognized using the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Contract with Customers and Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Sales from product shipments to contract manufacturing and retailer customers are recognized at the time ownership is transferred to the customer. Revenue from diagnostic services is recognized when the results are made available to the customer. Revenue from our personal genomics business is recognized when the genetic testing results are provided to the customer. For subscription services associated with our genomic testing, we recognize revenue ratably over the term of the subscription.

Transaction Price

For contract manufacturing and retail customers, the transaction price is fixed based upon either (i) the terms of a combined master agreement and each related purchase order, or (ii) if there is no master agreement, the price per individual purchase order received from each customer. The customers are invoiced at an agreed upon contractual price for each unit ordered and delivered by the Company.

Revenue from retail customers is reduced for trade promotions, estimated sales returns and other allowances in the same period as the related sales are recorded. No such allowance is applicable to our contract manufacturing customers. We estimate potential future product returns and other allowances related to current period revenue. We analyze historical returns, current trends, and changes in customer and consumer demand when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns and other allowances.

We do not accept returns from our contract manufacturing customers. Our return policy for retail customers accommodates returns for (i) discontinued products, (ii) store closings and (iii) products that have reached or exceeded their designated expiration date. We do not impose a period of time during which product may be returned. All requests for product returns must be submitted to us for pre-approval. We will not accept return requests pertaining to customer inventory “Overstocking” or “Resets”. We will accept return requests only for products in their intended package configuration. We reserve the right to terminate shipment of product to customers who have made unauthorized deductions contrary to our return policy or pursue other methods of reimbursement. We compensate the customer for authorized returns by means of a credit applied to amounts owed.

For our diagnostic services business, a revenue transaction is initiated when we receive a requisition order to perform a diagnostic test. The information provided on the requisition form is used to determine the party that will be billed for the testing performed and the expected reimbursement. We provide diagnostic services to a range of customers. In many cases, the customer that orders our services is not responsible for paying for these services. Depending on the billing arrangement and applicable law, the payer may be the patient or a third party, such as a health plan, Medicare or Medicaid program and other government reimbursement programs. We bill the providers at standard price and take into consideration negotiated discounts and anticipated reimbursement remittance adjustments based on the payer portfolio, when revenue is recorded. We use the most expected value method to estimate the transaction price for reimbursements that vary from the listed contract price.

For our personal genomics business, a revenue transaction is initiated by a DNA test kit sale direct to the consumer sales via our website or through online retailers. The kit sales and subscriptions are billed at a standard price and take into consideration any discounts when revenue is recorded.

Recognize Revenue When the Company Satisfies a Performance Obligation

Recognition for contract manufacturing and retail customers is satisfied at a point in time when the goods are shipped to the customer as (i) we have transferred control of the assets to the customers upon shipping, and (ii) the customer obtains title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership after the goods are shipped.

For diagnostic services, recognition occurs at the point in time that the results are made available to the customer, which is when the customer benefits from the information contained in the results and obtains control.

For genomic services, we satisfy our product performance obligation at a point in time when the genetic testing results are provided to the customer. For subscriptions services associated with our genomic testing, we satisfy our performance obligation ratably over the subscription period. If the customer does not return the test kit, services cannot be completed by us, potentially resulting in unexercised rights (“breakage”) revenue, including lifetime subscription services. We estimate breakage for the portion of test kits not expected to be returned using an analysis of historical data and consider other factors that could influence customer test kit return behavior. When breakage revenue is recognized on a kit, we recognize breakage on any associated subscription services ratably over the term of the subscription. The Company recognized breakage revenue from aggregate unreturned test kits and subscriptions of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Contract Balances

Deferred revenues primarily consist of amounts that have been billed to or received from customers in advance of revenue recognition and prepayments received from customers in advance of services performed for the research and development (“R&D”) work. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have deferred revenue of $3.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Our new personal genomics business comprised $3.2 million and $2.7 million of the deferred revenue as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The deferred revenue balance within the personal genomics business is comprised of kits to be sequenced and subscription services, which have an average life between 12 and 36 months. The remainder of deferred revenue relates to research and development (“R&D”) stability and release testing programs recognized as contract manufacturing revenue.

The following table disaggregates our deferred revenue by recognition period (in thousands):

Schedule of Deferred Revenue

Recognition Period	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
0-12 Months	$	2,430	$	2,034
13-24 Months		699		530
Over 24 Months		284		375
Total	$	3,413	$	2,939

Disaggregation of Revenue

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into four categories: diagnostic services, contract manufacturing, retail and others, and genomic products and services. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue by revenue source for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Schedule of Disaggregation by Revenue


	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
Revenue by Customer Type	June 30, 2022		June 30, 2021		June 30, 2022		June 30, 2021
Diagnostic services	$	26,158	$	7,536	$	71,071	$	20,274
Contract manufacturing		1,759		1,041		2,913		2,949
Retail and others		465		565		1,011		1,190
Genomic products and services		710		-		1,628		-
Total revenue, net	$	29,092	$	9,142	$	76,623	$	24,413

Customer Consideration

The Company makes payments to certain diagnostic services customers for distinct services that approximate the fair value for those services. Such services include specimen collection, the collection and delivery of insurance and patient information necessary for billing and collection, and logistics services. Consideration associated with specimen collection services is classified in cost of revenues and the remaining costs are classified as diagnostic expenses within operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Sales Tax Exclusion from the Transaction Price

We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from the customer.

Shipping and Handling Activities

We account for shipping and handling activities that we perform as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” Under the fair value recognition provision of the ASC, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and stock grants at their closing reported market value. We recognize all stock-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of stock options, as compensation expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The grant date fair values of stock options are determined through the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The compensation cost is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period of the award, which usually coincides with the vesting period. We account for forfeitures as they occur.

Stock and stock options to purchase our common stock have been granted to employees pursuant to the terms of certain agreements and stock option plans (see Note 7, Stockholders’ Equity). Stock options are exercisable during a period determined by us, but in no event later than seven years from the date granted.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse.

The provision for, or benefit from, income taxes includes deferred taxes resulting from the temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes using the liability method. Future realization of deferred income tax assets requires sufficient taxable income within the carryback, carryforward period available under tax law. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis whether, based on all available evidence, it is probable that the deferred income tax assets are realizable. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The evaluation, as prescribed by ASC 740- 10, “Income Taxes,” includes the consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding historical operating results including recent years with reported losses, the estimated timing of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, and potential tax planning strategies which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused.

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 (the “Subtopic”). The Subtopic clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The Subtopic prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Subtopic provides guidance on the de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies. ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The FASB is issuing this Update (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
