Current report
We are a pioneering diagnostics technology company. Our mission is to democratize access to novel molecular diagnostic testing to improve patient outcomes.
Current report
We do this primarily by developing molecular diagnostic test kits that empower our customers to run their own tests to participate in the patient-care value chain, which is counter-positioned with the central laboratory model. Our decentralized approach also puts testing in the hands of researchers to enable more studies, which inspires innovation, which we believe, can improve standards of care while also creating demand for more testing. We develop tests that measure both established biomarkers as well as pioneer the adoption of new and more effective biomarkers.
Current report
We believe that combining innovative science with a simple, but disruptive, business model can create enormous value. This model is designed to empower doctors to reduce uncertainty to make better decisions to save lives as well as enable researchers to measure biomarkers to inspire innovation.
Current report
Our customer institutions are hospitals, transplant centers, and labs. The decision to deploy our tests on behalf of patients or research studies supports front line doctors, including surgeons, nephrologists and oncologists, as well as researchers, pathologists, lab directors, medical directors, department heads, lab managers, and chief medical officers.
Current report
Our operating premise is that democratizing access to testing to foster scientific innovation and better treatments ultimately reduces the cost of care, while expanding access and improving outcomes.
Current report
At the heart, we are a science-driven organization that champions scientific integrity and inquiry. We employ world-renowned scientists who generate intellectual property in our strategic target markets. We have built and acquired an intellectual property portfolio that we believe will enable us to gain share in well-established clinical and research markets.
Current report
Our current intellectual property comprises three general areas: 1) organ transplant, 2) oncology therapy selection and 3) oncology therapy monitoring. Within these categories, we have developed or are in the process of developing LDTs that can be run at our Nashville, Tennessee lab, kitted RUO tests, and kitted clinical tests that can be run by local labs.
Current report
In July 2024, we began to commercialize the technology underlying GraftAssureCore (Kidney) by distributing its sister product, GraftAssureIQ, which is intended to be sold and used for research purposes and is labeled as RUO. We expect to distribute our RUO production through a mix of direct sales, partnering and distribution agreements, and licensing. We have entered into a global strategic partnership agreement with Bio-Rad to collaborate in the development and the commercialization of RUO and IVD kitted transplant products for clinical use (see Note 10, “Collaborative Arrangements,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information).
Current report
Under strict regulatory rules, our kitted tests may not be used in a clinical treatment setting until they have attained IVD clearance from the FDA in the U.S. and In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation approval in the European Union. As such, we are working with these regulatory bodies to attain such clearance and approval, as applicable, supporting future distribution and higher sales of our products for clinical use.
Current report
We also have a laboratory and pharma services lab, certified under the CLIA and accredited by the CAP, in Nashville, Tennessee, and a research and development lab in Göttingen, Germany. Our innovation centers in Nashville and Germany employ world-renowned research scientists who, we believe, are leaders in their fields.
Current report
We believe that the experience of our team with diverse technologies through our Pharma Services activities, strong scientific integrity regarding evidence generation and innovation mentality, alongside our flexibility in operations and regulatory strategy, will drive our success, differentiate us from our competition, and are foundational to our future. We are focusing on executing the technology priorities discussed herein, which have evolved to reflect our operations and strategic vision.

At-The-Market Facility
Current report
On August 9, 2024, we entered into a sales agreement with a sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $7.5 million of shares of our common stock, through the sales agent through an at-the-market facility (the “August 2024 Offering”). As of December 31, 2024, we received net proceeds from the sale of such shares of approximately $1.7 million. See Note 7, “Common Stock – August 2024 Offering,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information. On February 8, 2025, the Company terminated this sales agreement. As a result, the Company may not make any further sales pursuant to such at-the-market facility. See Note 14, “Subsequent Events,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.
Current report
February 2025 Offering
Current report
On February 10, 2025, we consummated a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement of our securities to certain accredited investors (the “February 2025 Offering”). The aggregate gross proceeds from the February 2025 Offering were approximately $29.1 million. See Note 14, “Subsequent Events – Private Placement Transaction” and “Subsequent Events – Registered Direct Offering,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.
Current report
Total net revenue increased to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $1.5 million in the comparable prior period from Pharma Services as further discussed below. Future Pharma Services revenue is expected to be impacted as a result of our shift in strategic focus on commercializing our transplant kitted tests, and deploying our sales personnel toward signing new hospital research laboratory customers.
Current report
Pharma Services revenue increased by $392,000. Although we had a decrease in the number of contracts performed during the period, we earned revenue from one existing customer in the amount of approximately $1.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2024. See below for additional information.
Current report
Cost of revenues increased by $51,000, primarily related to labor and allocated overhead associated with performing our Pharma Services. See below for additional information.
Current report
Cost of revenues - amortization of acquired intangibles was unchanged, and relates to noncash amortization of acquired intangible assets such as our customer relationship intangible assets acquired as part of the Insight merger.
Current report
Research and development expenses increased by $545,000, as we continue development of GraftAssureCore, GraftAsssureIQ, GraftAssureDx, DetermaIO and DetermaCNI. The main drivers of the increase were personnel-related expenses and facilities costs, partially offset by depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and severance costs (see below for additional details).
Current report
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.1 million, primarily attributable to continued ramp up in sales, marketing and advertising activities related to the transplant business, as well as supporting the commercialization efforts within oncology. The main drivers of the increase were personnel-related expenses, depreciation and amortization, and other expenses, which are primarily comprised of travel and entertainment, partially offset by facilities costs and stock-based compensation (see below for additional details).
Current report
General and administrative expenses decreased by $978,000, primarily due to decreases in facilities costs, stock-based compensation and severance costs, partially offset by personnel-related expenses and professional fees. See below for additional details.
Current report
Change in fair value of contingent consideration was a gain of $4.3 million in 2024 compared to a gain of $5.8 million in 2023. This change was due to changes in the fair value model inputs and revised estimates on if and when future payouts will occur. See below for additional information.
Current report
The current year impairment losses relate to our in-process research and development intangible assets. During the fourth quarter of 2024, it was determined that our DetermaIO and DetermaCNI intangible assets were impaired by $41.9 million (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information). The prior year impairment losses related to two asset impairments, including in-process research and development intangible assets of $5.0 million (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information) and leasehold improvements of $1.8 million (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information).
Current report
Impairment loss on held for sale assets relates to various agreements to sell laboratory equipment and the subsequent fair value adjustments. See Note 2, “Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.
Current report
Total other income, net increased by $97,000, primarily due to additional interest income and miscellaneous income in 2024 compared to 2023. See below for additional information.
Current report
On April 15, 2024, we consummated a private placement of our securities to certain accredited investors (the “April 2024 Offering”). The resulting net proceeds were approximately $9.9 million, after deducting offering expenses of $538,000 and deducting $5.4 million for the redemption of all remaining shares of our Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. These net proceeds are inclusive of an investment from Bio-Rad (see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report), our global strategic partner. See Note 7, “Common Stock – April 2024 Offering,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.
Current report
On August 1, 2024, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, pursuant to which we registered for sale up to $100.0 million of any combination of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants and/or units from time to time and at prices and on terms that we may determine (the “Primary Shelf Registration Statement”). On August 9, 2024, we entered into a sales agreement with a sales agent, pursuant to which we may offer and sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $7.5 million of shares of our common stock, registered on the Primary Shelf Registration Statement, pursuant to the August 2024 Offering. As of December 31, 2024, we received net proceeds from the sale of such shares of approximately $1.7 million. See Note 7, “Common Stock – August 2024 Offering,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information. On February 8, 2025, the Company terminated this sales agreement. As a result, the Company may not make any further sales pursuant to such sales agreement. See Note 14, “Subsequent Events,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.
Current report
On October 4, 2024, we consummated a private placement of our securities to certain accredited investors (the “October 2024 Offering”). The gross proceeds from the October 2024 Offering were approximately $10.2 million. After deducting placement agent fees and expenses and offering expenses payable by the Company of $836,000, the resulting net proceeds were approximately $9.4 million. See Note 7, “Common Stock – October 2024 Offering,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.
Current report
On February 10, 2025, we consummated the February 2025 Offering. The aggregate gross proceeds from the February 2025 Offering were approximately $29.1 million. After deducting offering expenses payable by the Company of $480,000, the resulting net proceeds were approximately $28.7 million. See Note 14, “Subsequent Events – Private Placement Transaction” and “Subsequent Events – Registered Direct Offering,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

Previous report
We are a precision diagnostics company focused on developing and commercializing proprietary tests in three areas: VitaGraft is a blood-based solid organ transplantation monitoring test, DetermaIO is a gene expression test that assesses the tumor microenvironment to predict response to immunotherapies, and DetermaCNI is a blood-based monitoring tool for monitoring therapeutic efficacy in cancer patients.
Previous report
We expect that our operating expenses will continue to increase if we successfully complete the development of DetermaIO and commercialize this test. We have hired a sales and marketing team. We also acquired a laboratory in Germany through our completed merger with Chronix and we will incur additional expenses resulting from our continued investment in Chronix. We are continuing to seek other opportunities to acquire ownership of or marketing rights to additional cancer tests. Because of the expected time frame to apply for and receive Medicare reimbursement approval for our tests, our pre-Medicare approval revenues from commercialization of our tests and revenues from services we perform for pharmaceutical companies are not expected to cover our operating expenses. We will need to obtain additional financing for our operations until such time as we generate sufficient revenues from the commercialization of our tests to cover our operating expenses. Our determination as to when we will seek new financing and the amount of financing that we will need will be based on our evaluation of the progress we make in our research and development programs, any changes to or the expansion of the scope and focus of our research, progress and results of commercializing our tests after completion of development, progress in receiving Medicare and other payor reimbursement approval, and our projection of future costs. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a discussion of our available capital resources, our need for future financing, and possible sources of capital.

Razor Genomics Purchase Agreement
Previous report
On December 15, 2022, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Razor Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Dragon Scientific, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Dragon”), and Razor Genomics Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Razor”). Pursuant to the Razor Stock Purchase Agreement we agreed to sell to Dragon, 3,188,181 shares of common stock of Razor, which constitutes approximately 70% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Razor on a fully-diluted basis, and transfer to Razor all of the assets and liabilities related to DetermaRx (the “Razor Sale Transaction”). The Razor Stock Purchase Agreement provides that following the closing of the transaction (the “Razor Closing”), we will own 1,366,364 shares of common stock of Razor, which will constitute approximately 30% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Razor on a fully-diluted basis.
Previous report
On February 16, 2023, we completed the Razor Sale Transaction. While no monetary consideration was received for the sale of 70% of the equity interests of Razor, the transaction allowed us to eliminate all development and commercialization costs with respect to DetermaRx. Following the Razor Closing, we continue to own 1,366,364 shares of common stock of Razor. For additional information, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Previous report
On April 11, 2024, we entered into a private placement securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors. The gross proceeds from the private placement are expected to be approximately $15.8 million. See Note 14, “Subsequent Events,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.
Previous report
Revenues increased to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $958,000 in the prior year, due to increased revenues in Pharma Services.
Previous report
On June 1, 2022, we received net proceeds of approximately $4.8 million from the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock issued from the first tranche of the offering (see Note 8). On April 19, 2022, Oncocyte received net proceeds of approximately $32.4 million from an underwritten offering of 1,313,320 shares of common stock and 1,313,320 shares of April 2022 warrants to purchase up to 656,660 shares of common stock (see Note 8).

Laboratory Developed Test Services
Previous report
We maintain an allowance for credit losses related to Laboratory Developed Test Services at an amount we estimate to be sufficient to provide adequate protection against losses resulting from extending credit to our customers. We base this allowance, in the aggregate, on historical collection experience, age of receivables and general economic conditions, as well as specific identification of uncollectible accounts. We initially established an allowance in 2022 in connection with remaining Medicare and Medicare Advantage account balances and have continued to add to the allowance as appropriate. In the first quarter of 2023, in connection with the adoption of the new current expected credit loss model (see Note 2, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Recently Adopted,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report), the Company determined that the Medicare and Medicare Advantage accounts receivable net balance of approximately $1.4 million was uncollectible and should therefore be written-off, based on the new guidance. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had an allowance for credit losses of zero and $154,000, respectively, related to Laboratory Developed Test Services.

For additional information, refer to the section above entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto provided under Part IV, Item 15(a)(1) of this Report.
Previous wording
During 2021, we added to our diagnostic test pipeline VitaGraft, a blood-based solid organ transplantation monitoring test, and DetermaCNI, a patented, blood-based test from Chronix for immunotherapy monitoring. We successfully completed the technology transfer of VitaGraft to our laboratory in Nashville, Tennessee in the second quarter of 2022. The assay is analytically and clinically validated in three major solid organ transplant types (kidney, liver and heart) by peer reviewed international publications. We received a positive coverage decision from MolDx for VitaGraft Kidney in August of 2023, and it became commercially available for ordering in January 2024 through our CLIA Laboratory in Nashville, Tennessee. VitaGraft Kidney is now broadly available to transplant professionals upon request. In April 2024, we entered into an agreement to collaborate in the development and the commercialization of research use only and in vitro diagnostics kitted transplant products. See Note 14, “Subsequent Events,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.
Current wording
Our primary near-term strategic market is organ transplant. Oncocyte’s molecular diagnostic tests are designed to help the industry to better address one of the leading challenges in the transplantation market – which is the body’s potential to reject the donor organ. We do this by detecting early evidence of graft organ damage in the blood through assessing a known biomarker known as donor-derived cell-free DNA. GraftAssureCore (Kidney), for example, can find donor kidney damage up to 11 months sooner than other protocols. GraftAssureCore is analytically and clinically validated in three major solid organ transplant types (kidney, liver and heart) by peer reviewed international publications. We received a positive coverage decision from MolDx for GraftAssureCore (Kidney) in August of 2023, and it became commercially available for ordering in January 2024 through our CLIA laboratory in Nashville, Tennessee. GraftAssureCore (Kidney) is now broadly available to transplant professionals upon request. In December 2024, we confirmed Medicare reimbursement for also monitoring certain high-risk patients, that is, those with newly developed donor-specific antibodies.
Previous wording
We are continuing to develop DetermaIO, a test with promising data supporting its potential to help identify patients likely to respond to checkpoint inhibitor drugs. This new class of drugs modulate the immune response and show activity in multiple solid tumor types including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). DetermaIO is presently available for research use through our Pharma Services operations but one of our goals is to complete development of that assay and to make it available for clinical use later in 2024. We also perform other assay development and clinical testing services for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies through our Pharma Services operations. As of the fourth quarter of 2021, this test is currently available as part of an early access program with leaders in the immuno-oncology field. A kitted research product format of the underlying technology began proof-of-concept development in the first quarter of 2023.
Current wording
Our secondary strategic market is in the field of oncology – namely through diagnostic tests that can measure and predict which patients will best respond to certain types of therapies, as well as provide efficacy monitoring for therapies. For example, we are continuing to develop DetermaIO, a test with promising data supporting its potential to help identify patients likely to respond to checkpoint inhibitor drugs. This new class of drugs modulate the immune response and show activity in multiple solid tumor types including non-small cell lung cancer, and triple negative breast cancer. A kitted research product format of the underlying technology began proof-of-concept development in 2023. The application of immunotherapy is a global problem, so we expect partnering opportunities for each of our products as they reach clinical maturity. We also expect to begin commercializing our oncology product line, which includes DetermaIO, over the next 15 months.
Previous wording
The inherent uncertainties of developing and commercializing new diagnostic tests for medical use make it impossible to predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to complete the development and commercialization of those tests. There is no assurance that we will be successful in developing new technology or diagnostic tests, or that any technology or diagnostic tests that we may develop will be proven safe and effective in diagnosis of cancer in humans or will be successfully commercialized. Refer to “Item 1 – Business” for additional information.

There is no assurance that we will be successful in developing new technology or diagnostic tests, nor that any technology or diagnostic tests that we may develop will be proven safe and effective in diagnosis of cancer in humans or will be successfully commercialized. We expect that our operating expenses will continue to increase if we successfully complete the development of DetermaIO and commercialize this test.
Previous wording
Loss from continuing operations was $24.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and $18.6 million for the comparable prior year. The loss from continuing operations increase of $6.2 million was comprised of the changes in Pharm Services revenue, operating expenses and other income and expenses from continuing operations as follows:
Current wording
Loss from continuing operations was $60.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $24.9 million for the comparable prior period. The loss from continuing operations expanded by $35.8 million mainly due to impairment charges for certain in-process research and development (discussed below), the change in fair value of contingent consideration, and certain other changes in operating expenses from continuing operations as follows:
Previous wording
Pharma Services are generally performed on a time and materials basis. Upon our completion of the service to the customer in accordance with the contract, we have the right to bill the customer for the agreed upon price (either on a per test or per deliverable basis) and recognize the Pharma Services revenue at that time, on an accrual basis. Pharma Services revenues are generated under discrete agreements for particular customer projects that generally expire with the completion or termination of the customer’s project. Accordingly, different customers may account for greater or lesser portions of Pharma Services during different accounting periods, and Pharma Services revenues may exhibit a larger variance from accounting period to accounting period than other revenues such as DetermaRx testing revenues. Refer to Note 2, “Revenue Recognition – Pharma Services Revenue” and “Disaggregation of Revenues and Concentrations of Credit Risk,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

Previous wording
We expect to continue to incur a significant amount of research and development expenses during the foreseeable future. We will continue development of DetermaIO and VitaGraft. Our future research and development efforts and expenses will also depend on the amount of capital that we are able to raise to finance those activities and whether we acquire rights to any new diagnostic tests. A portion of our costs for leasing and operating our CLIA laboratory in Tennessee, and in Germany with Chronix, will also be included in research and development expenses to the extent allocated to the development of our diagnostic tests.

We may commence clinical trials of DetermaIO if we develop that diagnostic test to the point where we determine that its use as a clinical diagnostic appears to be feasible.
Current wording
We intend to pursue a clinical trial in conjunction with our IVD submission in 2025, supporting our transplant products. We also may commence clinical trials of DetermaIO if we develop that diagnostic test to the point where we determine that its use as a clinical diagnostic appears to be feasible.
Previous wording
We expect to continue to incur sales and marketing expenses during the foreseeable future as we complete product development and begin commercialization efforts for DetermaIO as a clinical test. Sales and marketing expenses will also increase if we successfully develop and begin commercializing DetermaCNI, and VitaGraft, or if we acquire and commercialize other diagnostic tests. Our commercialization efforts and expenses will also depend on the amount of capital that we are able to raise to finance commercialization of our tests. Our future expenditures on sales and marketing will also depend on the amount of revenue that those efforts are likely to generate. Because physicians are more likely to prescribe a test for their patients if the cost is covered by Medicare or health insurance, demand for our diagnostic and other tests and our expenditures on sales and marketing are likely to increase if our diagnostic or other tests qualify for reimbursement by Medicare or private health insurance companies.

We will pay contingent consideration if various payment milestones are triggered under the merger agreements through which we acquired Insight and Chronix. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration will be based on our reassessment of the key assumptions underlying the determination of this liability as changes in circumstances and conditions occur from the Insight and Chronix acquisition dates to the reporting period being presented, with the subsequent changes in fair value recorded as part of our consolidated loss from operations for that period. See above change explanation for additional information.

Total other income and expenses is primarily comprised of interest income and expense, and net realized and unrealized losses from Lineage and AgeX marketable equity securities, which were both sold in 2023 (see Note 2, “Marketable Equity Securities,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report). Interest income is earned from money market funds we hold for capital preservation. Interest expense was incurred under our financing lease obligations (see Note 7), and from our Bank loan in the prior year (see Note 6).

Although historically not significant to our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, we may experience inflationary pressures, primarily in personnel costs and with certain laboratory supplies. The extent of any future impacts from inflation on our business and our results of operations will be dependent upon how long elevated inflation levels persist and the extent to which the rate of inflation were to increase, if at all, neither of which we are able to predict. If elevated levels of inflation were to persist or if the rate of inflation were to accelerate, the purchasing power of our cash and cash equivalents may be diminished, our expenses could increase faster than anticipated and we may utilize our capital resources sooner than expected. Further, given the complexities of the reimbursement landscape in which we operate, our payors may be unwilling or unable to increase reimbursement rates to compensate for inflationary impacts. As such, the effects of inflation may adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our foreseeable material cash requirements as of December 31, 2023, are recognized as liabilities or generally are otherwise described in Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. Cash requirements are generally derived from our operating and investing activities including expenditures for working capital, human capital, business development, investments in intellectual property, and business combinations. Our office lease obligations, net of sublease payments, and contingent consideration obligations are further described in Note 7 and Note 3, respectively. Historically, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had unrecognized tax benefits (see Note 10).

Since formation, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of our common stock, preferred stock and warrants. We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $289.9 million as of December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2023, we had $9.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. We expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows for the near future. Our expectation to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows in the future and the need for additional funding to support our planned operations raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (see Note 1).
Current wording
Since formation, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of our common stock, preferred stock and warrants. We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $350.5 million as of December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, we had $8.6 million of cash and cash equivalents. On February 10, 2025, we raised substantial additional capital as discussed below. We expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows for the near future. Although it is difficult to predict our liquidity requirements, based on the going concern evaluation discussed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report, management believes that it will have sufficient cash to meet its projected operating requirements for at least the next twelve months following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

The offering was intended to be priced ‘at-the market’ for purposes of complying with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. The aggregate gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $13.9 million before deducting offering expenses payable by us. We used approximately $1.1 million of the net proceeds to immediately redeem an aggregate of 1,064 shares of its Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and may thereafter elect to redeem additional shares.

We expect that our general operating expenses will remain flat as we continue to manage our available cash. Although we intend to market our diagnostic tests in the United States through our own sales force, we are also beginning to make marketing arrangements with distributors in other countries. We may also explore a range of other commercialization options in order to enter overseas markets and to reduce our capital needs and expenditures, and the risks associated the timelines and uncertainty for attaining the Medicare reimbursement approvals that will be essential for the successful commercialization of additional cancer diagnostic tests. Those alternative arrangements could include marketing arrangements with other diagnostic companies through which we might receive a licensing fee and royalty on sales, or through which we might form a joint venture to market one or more tests and share in net revenues, in the United States or abroad.

We will need to continue to raise additional capital to finance our operations, including the development and commercialization of our diagnostic tests, and making payments that may become due under our obligations to former Chronix shareholders and former Insight shareholders, until such time as we are able to generate sufficient revenues to cover our operating expenses. Delays in the development of DetermaIO, or obtaining reimbursement coverage from Medicare for that diagnostic test and for the other diagnostic tests that we may develop or acquire, could prevent us from raising sufficient additional capital to finance the completion of development and commercial launch of those tests. Investors may be reluctant to provide us with capital until our tests are approved for reimbursement by Medicare or reimbursement by private healthcare insurers or healthcare providers, or until we begin generating significant amounts of revenue from performing those tests. The unavailability or inadequacy of financing or revenues to meet future capital needs could force us to modify, curtail, delay, or suspend some or all aspects of our planned operations. Sales of additional equity securities could result in the dilution of the interests of our shareholders. We cannot assure that adequate long-term financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

During the first quarter of 2023, due to changes in management and our economic condition, management shifted our business strategy to direct efforts on fewer studies and to transition from tests that are LDTs to research use only sales. Due to the change in strategy, our long range plan forecasts were updated and anticipated future benefits derived from our assets. The change in strategy represent a significant indicator for change in value of our long-lived assets. The original IPR&D balances were reassessed based on the updated long range plan, using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) approach, the results of the valuation noted that the carrying value of certain IPR&D intangible assets was greater than the fair market value. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment of approximately $5.0 million as of March 31, 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the IPR&D balances were reassessed using the MPEEM approach and the results of the valuation noted that the fair market values were greater than the carrying values of the IPR&D intangible assets. Accordingly, we did not record any additional adjustment as of December 31, 2023.

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, which consists primarily of long-lived intangible assets, right-of-use assets, and machinery and equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired and the carrying value may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset (or asset group) and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount, we recognize an impairment based on the fair value of such assets. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized long-lived assets impairments of $1.8 million and zero, respectively.

We recognize compensation expense related to share-based payment awards made to employees, board directors and other non-employees based on estimated fair values. We estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the grant date and recognize the resulting fair value over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. For stock-based awards that vest only upon the attainment of one or more performance goals, compensation cost is recognized if and when we determine that it is probable that the performance condition or conditions will be, or have been, achieved. For grants with market-based and time-based vesting conditions, the fair value is estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which includes the estimated period to achievement of the performance and market conditions, which are subject to the achievement of the market-based goals established by us and continued employment. We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the fair value of standard time-based stock options. Our determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. We estimate the expected volatility using our own stock price volatility for a period equal to the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted is based on our own experience. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect during the corresponding period of grant. Key inputs and assumptions may change as we continue to develop our own company estimates, experience and key inputs including our expected term, and stock price volatility based on the trading history of our stock in the public market. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of equity grants and the stock-based compensation that we record in our consolidated financial statements. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized total stock-based compensation of $2.8 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect during the corresponding period of grant. Key inputs and assumptions may change as we continue to develop our Company estimates, experience and key inputs including our expected term, and stock price volatility based on the trading history of our stock in the public market. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of equity grants and the stock-based compensation that we record in our consolidated financial statements. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized total stock-based compensation of $1.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively. For additional information, refer to Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740,Income Taxes, which prescribes the use of the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax asset or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Our judgments regarding future taxable income may change over time due to changes in market conditions, changes in tax laws, tax planning strategies or other factors. If our assumptions and consequently our estimates change in the future, the valuation allowance may be increased or decreased, which may have a material impact on our statements of operations.

The guidance also prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not sustainable upon examination by taxing authorities. We will recognize accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of the financial statement periods presented herein. We account for uncertain tax positions by assessing all material positions taken in any assessment or challenge by relevant taxing authorities. We are currently unaware of any tax issues under review. Refer to Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.

The unavailability or inadequacy of financing or revenues to meet future capital needs could force us to modify, curtail, delay, or suspend some or all aspects of our planned operations. Sales of additional equity securities could result in the dilution of the interests of our shareholders. We cannot assure that adequate long-term financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

Although we have billed a list price for all tests ordered and completed for all payer types, we consider constraints on the variable consideration when recognizing revenue for DetermaRx. Because DetermaRx is a novel test and there are no current reimbursement arrangements with third-party payers other than Medicare, the transaction price represents variable consideration. Application of the constraint for variable consideration is an area that requires significant judgment. For all payers other than Medicare, we must consider the novelty of the test, the uncertainty of receiving payment, or being subject to claims for a refund, from payers with whom it does not have a sufficient payment collection history or contractual reimbursement agreements. Accordingly, for those payers, we have recognized revenue upon payment because it has had insufficient history to reliably estimate payment patterns.
