Previous wording
We are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial products and services. We experienced a net loss of approximately $13.9 million and used approximately $12.1 million of cash in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Financing activities provided $5.5 million of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We ended the quarter with cash on-hand of $27.9 million as of March 31, 2026. We expect to continue to experience recurring losses and negative cash flow from operations, and will continue to fund our operations with debt and/or equity financing transactions, which in accordance with management’s plans may include conversions of our existing debt to equity and refinancing our existing debt obligations to extend the maturity date. The Company’s ability to continue operations 12 months beyond the issuance of the financial statements will depend upon generating substantial revenue that is conditioned on obtaining positive third-party reimbursement coverage for its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test from both government and private health insurance providers, increasing revenue through contracting directly with self-insured employers, and upon raising additional capital through various potential sources including equity and/or debt financings or refinancing existing debt obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
