NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Operations
Predictive Oncology Inc. (“Predictive Oncology”) is a knowledge-driven company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to support the development of optimal cancer therapies, which can ultimately lead to more effective treatments and improved patient outcomes. Through AI, Predictive Oncology uses a biobank of
The Company operates in three primary business areas: first, along the drug discovery continuum (i) the application of AI for optimized, high-confidence drug-response predictions within a large experimental space that enables a more informed selection of drug/tumor combinations to increase the probability of success during development and (ii) the creation and development of tumor-specific 3D cell culture models; second, contract services and research focused on solubility improvements, stability studies, and protein production, and; third, production of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared STREAMWAY® System for automated fluid waste management, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal and associated products.
The Company has determined that it will focus its resources on applying AI to support the development of optimal cancer therapies, partnering with biopharma clients to help prioritize drugs for development and identify biomarker-informed indications. Its platform provides a more informed decision tool to select optimal drug/tumor combinations to increase the probability of success during drug development. As a result of this focused approach, the Company has consolidated its brand under the Predictive Oncology name. Going forward, the Company will operate under the Predictive Oncology tradename with laboratory operations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Birmingham, Alabama. As of January 1, 2023, the Company has changed its reportable segments because of this focused approach.
The Company has reportable segments that have been delineated by location and specialty: the Pittsburgh segment provides services that include the application of AI using its biobank of

Recent Developments
On April 19, 2023, the Company completed a one-for- reverse stock split that was effective for trading purposes on April 24, 2023. All numbers of shares and per-share amounts in this report have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”).
Impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Macroeconomic Conditions
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) continues to impact the global economy. While there has been significant economic recovery in certain markets, the Company continues to experience some disruption and uncertainty caused by COVID-19, including supply chain disruptions, staffing shortages within the service and healthcare industries and negative impacts on the demand for our products and services. This disruption to the macroeconomic environment has been exacerbated by the general economic and geopolitical uncertainties caused by inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain disruptions, tight labor markets, wage inflation, pricing volatility for certain goods and services, banking and financial sector disruptions, instability and volatility in the global markets, and geopolitical conflict, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The extent to which COVID-19 and general macroeconomic uncertainty may impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain and difficult to predict. These factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time even after the pandemic subsides, including due to a continued or prolonged recession in the U.S. or other major economies. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other global events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity or financial condition and heighten or exacerbate risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2023.
Interim Financial Statements
The Company has prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements and related unaudited financial information in the footnotes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s position, the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the interim periods. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all intercompany eliminations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2023. The nature of the Company’s business is such that the results of any interim period may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations, cash flows or stockholders’ equity.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities when purchased of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with financial institutions and believes its risk of loss is limited to amounts in excess of that which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Receivables
Receivables are reported at the amount the Company expects to collect on balances outstanding. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through charges to earnings and credits to the valuation allowance based on management’s assessment of the status of individual accounts.
Amounts recorded in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. An allowance is maintained to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The Company determines the allowance based on historical experience as well as external business factors expected to impact collectability such as economic factors. The Company reviews customers’ credit history before extending unsecured credit and establishes an allowance based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Invoices are generally due 30 days after presentation. Accounts receivable over 30 days are generally considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivables. Receivables are written off once all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. The allowance for accounts receivable balance was $
Fair Value Measurements
As outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standards ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company uses observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation.
The fair value of the Company’s investment securities, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, was determined based on Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities were determined based on Level 3 inputs. The Company generally uses the Black Scholes method for determining the fair value of warrants classified as liabilities on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company uses the Monte Carlo method and other acceptable valuation methodologies when valuing the conversion feature and other embedded features classified as derivatives on a recurring basis. See Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements and Note 8 – Derivatives.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful asset life by classification is as follows:
| Years | ||||||||||||
| Computers, software, and office equipment | - | |||||||||||
| Leasehold improvements (1) | ||||||||||||
| Manufacturing tooling | - | |||||||||||
| Laboratory equipment | - | |||||||||||
| Demo equipment | ||||||||||||
| (1) | Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term. |
Upon retirement or sale of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations expense as incurred.
Long-lived Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets consist of patents and trademarks, licensing fees, developed technology, and customer relationships, and are amortized over their estimated useful life. Accumulated amortization is included in intangibles, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company reviews finite-lived identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the medical device marketplace and a significant adverse change in the business climate in which the Company operates.
Goodwill
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested on an annual basis for impairment at the reporting unit level as of December 31, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable.
To determine whether goodwill is impaired, annually or more frequently if needed, the Company performs a multi-step impairment test. The Company first has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company may also elect to skip the qualitative testing and proceed directly to the quantitative testing. When performing quantitative testing, the Company first estimates the fair values of its reporting units using discounted cash flows. To determine fair values, the Company is required to make assumptions about a wide variety of internal and external factors. Significant assumptions used in the impairment analysis include financial projections of free cash flow (including significant assumptions about operations including the rate of future revenue growth, capital requirements, and income taxes), long-term growth rates for determining terminal value and discount rates. Comparative market multiples are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow test. These assumptions require significant judgement. Pursuant to ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the single step is to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. To the extent the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied goodwill, the difference is the amount of the goodwill impairment. The Company also completes a reconciliation between the implied equity valuation prepared and the Company’s market capitalization. The majority of the inputs used in the discounted cash flow model are unobservable and thus are considered to be Level 3 inputs. The inputs for the market capitalization calculation are considered Level 1 inputs. See Note 5 – Intangible Assets.
Leases
At inception of a contract, a determination is made whether an arrangement meets the definition of a lease. A contract contains a lease if there is an identified asset, and the Company has the right to control the asset. Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets with corresponding current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Financing leases are included within fixed assets with corresponding current within other current liabilities and noncurrent within other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the duration of the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Recognition on the commencement date is based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using an incremental borrowing rate. Leases with a term of 12 months or less at the commencement date are not recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are expensed as incurred.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component for all asset classes. Leases are accounted for at a portfolio level when similar in nature with identical or nearly identical provisions and similar effective dates and lease terms.
Collaboration Arrangements
The Company enters into collaboration arrangements with oncology drug development partners, under which the Company utilizes its active learning technology, proprietary biobank, and know-how to provide predictive models of tumor responses to various drug compounds and treatments of partners. Consideration under these contracts may include an upfront payment, development and regulatory milestones and other contingent payments, expense reimbursements, royalties based on net sales of approved drugs, and commercial sales milestone payments.
The Company analyzes its collaboration arrangements to assess whether they are within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements, which includes determining whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities. To the extent that the arrangement falls within the scope of ASC 808, the Company assesses whether the payments between the Company and its collaboration partner fall within the scope of other accounting literature. If the Company concludes that payments from the collaboration partner to the Company would represent consideration from a customer, the Company accounts for those payments within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. However, if the Company concludes that its collaboration partner is not a customer for certain activities and associated payments, the Company presents such payments as a reduction of research and development expense or general and administrative expense, based on where the Company presents the underlying expense.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales taxes are imposed on the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers. The Company collects the taxes from the customers and remits the entire amounts to the governmental authorities. Sales taxes are excluded from revenue and expenses.
Revenue from Product Sales
The Company has medical device revenue consisting primarily of sales of the STREAMWAY System, as well as sales of the proprietary cleaning fluid and filters for use with the STREAMWAY System. The Company sells its medical device products directly to hospitals and other medical facilities using employed sales representatives. Purchase orders, which are governed by sales agreements in all cases, state the final terms for unit price, quantity, shipping, and payment terms. The unit price is considered the observable stand-alone selling price for the arrangements. The Company sales agreement, and Terms and Conditions, is a dually executed contract providing explicit criteria supporting the sale of the STREAMWAY System. The Company considers the combination of a purchase order and acceptance of its Terms and Conditions to be a customer’s contract in all cases.
Product sales for medical devices consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. The Company recognizes product revenue when the following events have occurred: (1) the Company has transferred physical possession of the products, (2) the Company has a present right to payment, (3) the customer has legal title to the products, and (4) the customer bears significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products. Based on the shipping terms specified in the sales agreements and purchase orders, these criteria are generally met when the products are shipped from the Company’s facilities (“FOB origin,” which is the Company’s standard shipping terms). As a result, the Company determined that the customer could direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the time the products are shipped. The Company may, at its discretion, negotiate different shipping terms with customers which may affect the timing of revenue recognition. The Company’s standard payment terms for its customers are generally 30 to 60 days after the Company transfers control of the product to its customer. The Company allows returns of defective disposable merchandise if the customer requests a return merchandise authorization from the Company.
Customers may also purchase a maintenance plan for the medical devices from the Company, which requires the Company to service the STREAMWAY System for a period of one year after the one-year anniversary date of the original STREAMWAY System invoice. The maintenance plan is considered a separate performance obligation from the product sale, is charged separately from the product sale, and is recognized over time (ratably over the one-year period) as maintenance services are provided. A time-elapsed output method is used to measure progress because the Company transfers control evenly by providing a stand-ready service. The Company has determined that this method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of services to its customers.
All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction for medical devices related to shipping and handling, if any, represent revenues earned for the goods provided, and these amounts have been included in revenue. Costs related to such shipping and handling billing are classified as cost of goods sold. This revenue stream is reported under the Eagan reportable segment.
Revenue from Clinical Testing
Clinic diagnostic testing is comprised of our Tumor Drug Response Testing (“ChemoFx”) and Genomic Profiling (“BioSpeciFx”) tests. The Tumor Drug Response Testing test determines how a patient’s tumor specimen reacts to a panel of various chemotherapy drugs, while the Genomic Profiling test evaluates the expression and/or status of a particular gene related to a patient’s tumor specimen. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The estimated uncollectible amounts are generally considered implicit price concessions that are a reduction in revenue. Pittsburgh’s payments terms vary by the agreements reached with insurance carriers and Medicare. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at one point in time when test reports are delivered.
For service revenues, the Company estimates the transaction price which is the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for providing services based on its historical collection experience using a portfolio approach as a practical expedient to account for patient contracts as collective groups rather than individually. The Company monitors its estimates of transaction price to depict conditions that exist at each reporting date. If the Company subsequently determines that it will collect more consideration than it originally estimated for a contract with a patient, it will account for the change as an increase to the estimate of the transaction price, provided that such downward adjustment does not result in a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized.
The Company recognizes revenue from these patients when contracts, as defined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, are established at the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled or when the Company receives substantially all of the consideration subsequent to the performance obligations being satisfied. The Company’s standard payment term for hospital and patient direct bill is 30 days after the invoice date. This revenue stream is reported under the Pittsburgh segment.
Contract Research Organization (“CRO”) and AI-Driven Business
Contract revenues are generally derived from studies conducted with biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies. The specific methodology for revenue recognition is determined on a case-by-case basis according to the facts and circumstances applicable to a given contract. The Company uses an input method that recognizes revenue based on the Company’s efforts to satisfy the performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the standalone-selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Advance payments received in excess of revenues recognized are classified as deferred revenue until such time as the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Payment terms are net 30 from the invoice date, which is sent to the customer as the Company satisfies the performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. This revenue stream is reported under the Birmingham and Pittsburgh segments.
Royalty Revenue
The Company has collaboration arrangements that include sales-based royalties, under which our collaboration partners are obligated to pay a royalty that is based on the net sales of their approved drugs. The Company recognizes royalty revenue when the underlying sales occur based on its best estimate of sales of the drugs. To date, the Company has not recognized revenues related to royalties earned under collaboration arrangements.
Variable Consideration
The Company records revenue from distributors and direct end customers in an amount that reflects the transaction price it expects to be entitled to after transferring control of those goods or services. The Company’s current contracts do not contain any features that create variability in the amount or timing of revenue to be earned.
Warranty
The Company generally provides one-year warranties against defects in materials and workmanship on product sales and will either repair the products or provide replacements at no charge to customers. As they are considered assurance-type warranties, the Company does not account for them as separate performance obligations. Warranty reserve requirements are based on a specific assessment of the products sold with warranties where a customer asserts a claim for warranty or a product defect.
Contract Balances
The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to receive consideration after the performance obligations are satisfied. Accounts receivable totaled $
The Company’s contract liabilities related primarily to 3D services and maintenance plans are $
Practical Expedients
The Company has elected the practical expedient not to determine whether contracts with customers contain significant financing components as contracts are generally for less than one year, as well as the practical expedient to recognize shipping and handling costs at point of sale.
Valuation and Accounting for Stock Options and Warrants
The Company determines the grant date fair value of options and warrants using a Black-Scholes option valuation model based upon assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate, volatility, and estimated term.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions:
| For the six months ended June 30, | ||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||
| Stock Options | ||||||

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted a sequencing policy under ASC 815-40-35 (“ASC 815”) that will apply in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to liabilities is necessary. If the Company is unable to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive financial instruments, with the earliest financial instruments receiving the first allocation of shares. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuance of stock-based awards to the Company’s employees are not subject to the sequencing policy.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development costs were $
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
There is
The Company reviews income tax positions expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the positions. The Company has identified
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, certain stock transactions which significantly change ownership could limit the amount of net operating carryforwards that may be utilized on an annual basis to offset taxable income in future periods. The Company has not yet performed an analysis of the annual net operating loss carryforwards and limitations that are available to be used against taxable income. Consequently, the limitation, if any, could result in the expiration of the Company’s loss carryforwards before they can be utilized. The Company has not analyzed net operating loss carryforwards under Section 382 to date. As a result of the acquisition of Helomics Corporation (“Helomics”) in 2019, there may be significant limitations to the net operating loss. In addition, the current NOL carryforwards might be further limited by future issuances of our common stock.
Tax years subsequent to 2002 remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities due to unexpired net operating loss carryforwards.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions and, by policy, generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had zero credit risk for cash amounts held in a single institution that are in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the medical device and biopharmaceutical industries, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with regulations of the Food and Drug Administration, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, and other governmental agencies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). Recently issued ASUs not listed below either were assessed and determined to be not applicable or are currently expected to have no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” This ASU added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The CECL model applies to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023; the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. The new guidance also modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. As a smaller reporting company pursuant to Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and are allowed to adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2023 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Collaborative Agreement with Cancer Research Horizons
On March 16, 2023, the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement (the “CRH Agreement”) with Cancer Research Horizons (“CRH”), pursuant to which the Company will use its PEDAL technology to evaluate CRH pre-clinical drug inhibitors of Glutaminase in order to determine which cancer types and patient populations are most likely to respond to treatment with these compounds (the “Project”). Under the CRH Agreement, both parties will retain rights to their respective background intellectual property. Rights to reports, findings, supporting data, and materials (“Project Intellectual Property”) that are generated by the Company pursuant to its performance under the CRH Agreement vest exclusively in CRH. Each party funds its own participation in the Project. Costs incurred to participate in the CRH Agreement are recorded in Operations Expense in the Company’s Statement of Net Loss.
Pursuant to the CRH Agreement, the Company shall receive a percentage of net revenue, as defined in the agreement, received by CRH for the commercialization of the CRH Candidates and any CRH Derivatives. The percentage of net revenue varies depending on the stage of development. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has recognized any revenue under the CRH Agreement.
NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVES
Certain warrants issued to placement agents were determined to be a derivative liability due to certain features of the warrants which could, in certain circumstances, result in the holder receiving the Black Scholes value of the outstanding warrants in the same type of consideration as the common stockholders. As a result, in those circumstances, the amount of consideration would differ from that provided to holders of common stock, therefore, the warrants were classified as a liability.

Overview
Predictive Oncology Inc. (“Predictive Oncology”) is a knowledge-driven company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to support the development of optimal cancer therapies, which can ultimately lead to more effective treatments and improved patient outcomes. Through AI, Predictive Oncology uses a biobank of 150,000+ cancer tumor samples, categorized by patient type, against drug compounds to help the drug discovery process and increase the probability of success. The company offers a suite of solutions for oncology drug development from early discovery to clinical trials.
We operate in three primary business areas: first, along the drug discovery continuum (i) the application of AI for optimized, high-confidence drug-response predictions within a large experimental space that enables a more informed selection of drug/tumor combinations to increase the probability of success during development and (ii) the creation and development of tumor-specific 3D cell culture models; second, contract services and research focused on solubility improvements, stability studies, and protein production, and; third, production of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared STREAMWAY System for automated fluid waste management, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal and associated products.
We have determined that we will focus our resources on applying AI to support the development of optimal cancer therapies, partnering with biopharma clients to help prioritize drugs for development and identify biomarker-informed indications. Our platform provides a more informed decision tool to select optimal drug/tumor combinations to increase the probability of success during drug development. As a result of this focused approach, we have consolidated our brand under the Predictive Oncology name. Going forward, we will operate under the Predictive Oncology tradename with laboratory operations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Birmingham, Alabama. As of January 1, 2023, we have changed in our reportable segments because of this focused approach.
We have three reportable segments that have been delineated by location and specialty: our Pittsburgh segment provides services that include the application of AI using its biobank of 150,000+ cancer tumor samples. Pittsburgh also utilizes 3D culture models in drug development. Our Birmingham segment provides services and research using a self-contained, automated system that conducts high-throughput, self-interaction chromatography screens, using additives and excipients commonly included in protein formulations resulting in soluble and physically stable formulations of biologics focused on solubility improvements, stability studies, and protein production. Our Eagan (Minnesota) segment consists of the production of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared STREAMWAY System for automated fluid waste management, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal, and associated products.
Capital Requirements
Since inception, we have been unprofitable. We incurred net losses of $7,345,170 and $13,762,039 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $161,123,086 and $153,777,916, respectively.
We have never generated sufficient revenues to fund our capital requirements. Since 2017, we have diversified our business by investing in ventures, including making significant loans and investments in early-stage companies. These activities led to the acquisition of Helomics in April 2019, the purchase of the assets of three businesses in 2020 and the acquisition of zPREDICTA in November 2021, each of which have accelerated our capital needs. We have funded our operations through a variety of debt and equity instruments. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Liquidity and Plan of Financing” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Transactions” below.
Our future cash requirements and the adequacy of available funds depend on our ability to generate revenues from our drug discovery businesses located in Pittsburgh and Birmingham; our ability to continue to sell our Skyline Medical products and to reach profitability in all of our businesses and the availability of future financing to fulfill our business plans. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Liquidity and Plan of Financing” below.
Our limited history of operations, especially in our drug discovery business, and our change in the emphasis of our business, starting in 2017, makes prediction of future operating results difficult. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied on as predictive of our future results.

Revenue. We recorded revenue of $490,110 and $371,591 in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We sold a net of 7 and 2 STREAMWAY System units during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
We recorded revenue of $730,005 and $686,159 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenue was primarily derived from the Eagan operating segment. The six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 also included $24,471 and $94,005, respectively, from our Pittsburgh operating segment as well as $98,529 and $35,141, respectively, from our Birmingham operating segment. We sold a net of 7 and 5 STREAMWAY System units during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of sales was $159,761 and $279,900 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $134,075 and $243,518 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The gross profit margin was approximately 67% and 62% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 64% and 65% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Gross profit margin related to the Skyline Medical business was approximately 61% in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to approximately 64% in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decreased margin is primarily due to sales mix and lower margins on hardware sales.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative (“G&A”) expense primarily consists of management salaries, professional fees, consulting fees, travel expense, administrative fees, and general office expenses. G&A expense increased by $352,831 to $2,704,527 in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2,351,696 in the comparable period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased investor relations fees related to the reverse stock split, office rent and other general and administrative expenses.
G&A expense increased by $265,164 to $5,040,511 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $4,775,347 in the comparable period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased investor relations fees related to the reverse stock split, office rent and other general and administrative expenses, offset by decreased depreciation and amortization expenses due to fully depreciated assets and prior period impairments.
Operations expense. Operations expense primarily consists of expenses related to product development and prototyping and testing. Operations expense increased by $83,929 to $993,042 in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $909,113 in the comparable period in 2022. Operations expense increased by $71,376 to $1,871,560 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1,800,184 in the comparable period in 2022. The increases in both the three and six month periods were driven primarily by higher cloud computing expenses related to our Pittsburgh operating segment, which were offset by decreases in expenses related to the closure of the offices of the Company’s former wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense consists of expenses required to sell products through attendance at trade shows, product literature and other sales and marketing activities. Sales and marketing expense increased by $158,081 to $429,103 in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $271,022 in the comparable period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase in marketing and business development staff hired after June 30, 2022.
Sales and marketing expense increased by $223,851 to $799,340 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $575,489 in the comparable period in 2022. The increase was driven by increased staff-related expenses and increases in other sales and marketing expenses.
Loss on impairment of property and equipment. We recorded a loss on impairment of property and equipment of $162,905 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. We prepared an undiscounted cash flow for our Birmingham asset group as of June 30, 2023 to evaluate long-lived assets, then completed a fair value assessment which resulted in the impairment and allocated the impairment to the assets of the affected asset group. Please see Note 4 – Property and Equipment to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Other income. We earned other income of $28,552 in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $41,047 in the comparable period in 2022 and earned other income of $70,780 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $83,477 in the comparable period in 2022. Other income is primarily interest income.
Other expense. We incurred no other expense in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2,217 in the comparable period in 2022 and incurred no other expense in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $3,206 in the comparable period in 2022. Other expense in 2022 consisted primarily of net interest expense.
Gain on derivative instruments. We recorded a gain of $7,308 in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $95,254 in the comparable period in 2022 and recorded a gain of $8,261 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $97,162 in the comparable period in 2022 related to the change in fair value of the derivative.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities was $7,002,033 and $6,427,806 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Cash used in operating activities increased in the 2023 period primarily because of the increase in operating expenses and changes in working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities was $305,745 and $268,416 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Cash used in investing activities increased in the 2023 period primarily due to an increase in the acquisition of fixed assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 and $6,743,059 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The cash provided in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants.
Liquidity and Plan of Financing
We have incurred a net loss in each of our annual periods since our inception. We incurred a net loss of $7,345,170 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. On June 30, 2023, we had $14,763,745 in cash.
Since our inception, we have received net proceeds from the sale of our common stock (through our initial public offering and subsequent public offerings, including at-the-market offerings) which have funded our operations. We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to support our operating plan for the twelve months after these financial statements are issued. If we anticipate that our actual results will differ from our operating plan, we believe we have sufficient capabilities to enact cost savings measures to preserve capital. We may also seek to raise additional capital to support our growth through the incurrence of additional debt, the sale of equity or other alternatives (including asset sales) or a combination thereof. Our projections of future cash needs may differ from actual results, and we may not ultimately be able to enact cost savings measures to preserve capital. Additionally, we may not be able to raise additional capital to support our growth on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all. Any of these occurrences could lead to a different determination about the sufficiency of our existing capital resources to support our operating plans in the future.
Financing Transactions
We have funded our operations through a combination of debt and equity instruments including short-term borrowings, and a variety of debt and equity offerings.
Accounting Standards and Recent Accounting Developments
See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the unaudited, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting developments.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” as those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2023 for the reasons described below:
Material Weakness in Internal Controls. As disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
Management has determined that we have not maintained adequate accounting resources with a sufficient understanding of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) to allow us to properly identify and account for new complex transactions. Therefore, there was a risk that a potential material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements could occur without being prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we have concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in our annual and quarterly filings fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented.
Material Weakness Remediation Activities. To remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described above, we have reevaluated our overall staffing levels within the accounting department and during the second quarter of 2023 we hired additional resources with qualifications that include a high level of experience with complex technical accounting transactions and application of U.S. GAAP. We have completed internal control remediation testing utilizing an external consulting company.
Once the above actions and processes have been in operation for a sufficient period of time for our management to conclude that the material weakness has been fully remediated and our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, we will consider this material weakness fully addressed.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In the ordinary course of business, we may periodically become subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with ongoing business activities from time to time. The results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and unfavorable resolutions are possible and could materially affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In addition, regardless of the outcome, litigation could have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, diversion of management attention and resources and other factors.
Based on information readily available, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there are no pending legal proceedings that, in the opinion of management, are likely to result in a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2023, except as described below.
The use of AI in our business is subject to risks associated with new and rapidly evolving technologies and industries, may result in reputational harm or liability, and may not result in the development of commercially viable therapies, drugs or treatments.
Our business model relies on the use of AI to support the development of optimal cancer therapies. Through AI, we use a biobank of 150,000+ cancer tumor samples, categorized by patient type, and make optimized, high-confidence drug-response predictions against drug compounds to enable a more informed selection of drug/tumor combinations. While we believe that AI may potentially enable more efficient drug research and clinical development than the conventional model, our approach is novel and has not yet been widely studied. Our use of AI is subject to risks and challenges associated with new, disruptive, and rapidly evolving technologies and industries, which may affect its adoption and the success of our business. The algorithms we use may be flawed, our datasets may be insufficient or contain biased information, and inappropriate or controversial data practices by us or others could impair the acceptance of AI solutions. These deficiencies could undermine the predictions or analysis that AI applications produce, subjecting us to competitive harm, legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. Additionally, changes in laws and regulations could impact the usefulness of our solution and could necessitate modifications in our business to accommodate such changes. The regulatory landscape for AI is continually evolving, and both the FDA and the European Union are in the process of issuing comprehensive guidance on AI software which may change how our product is regulated.
Further, the cost and time needed to discover drug candidates is difficult to predict, and our efforts may not result in the discovery and development of commercially viable therapies, drugs, or clinical treatments. Our estimates of our defined patient populations available for study and treatment may be lower than expected, which could adversely affect our or our partners’ ability to conduct clinical trials and may also adversely affect the size of any market for therapies, drugs or treatments we may license for commercialization. Our approach may not result in time savings, higher success rates or reduced costs as we expect it to, and if not, we may not attract collaborators or develop new drugs as quickly or cost effectively as expected and therefore we may not be able to commercialize our approach as expected at this time.
In addition to the foregoing risks, and the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the reader should carefully consider the risks included in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 before making an investment decision. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The reader should also carefully consider these risk factors.
We have entered into, and may enter into additional collaborations, in-licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances or partnerships with third parties that may not result in the development of commercially viable products or the generation of significant future revenues.
We may enter into collaborations, in-licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances, partnerships or other arrangements to develop products and to pursue new markets. Proposing, negotiating and implementing collaborations, in-licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances or partnerships may be a lengthy and complex process. Other companies, including those with substantially greater financial, marketing, sales, technology or other business resources, may compete with us for these opportunities or arrangements. We may not identify, secure, or complete any such transactions or arrangements in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, on acceptable terms or at all. We have limited institutional knowledge and experience with respect to these business development activities, and we may also not realize the anticipated benefits of any such transaction or arrangement. In particular, these collaborations may not result in the development of products that achieve commercial success or result in significant revenues and could be terminated prior to developing any products. Our ability to generate revenues from these arrangements will depend in part on our collaborators’ abilities to successfully perform the functions assigned to them in these arrangements.
Additionally, we may not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the transaction or arrangement, which could create the potential risk of creating impasses on decisions, and our future collaborators may have economic or business interests or goals that are, or that may become, inconsistent with our business interests or goals. It is possible that conflicts may arise with our collaborators, such as conflicts concerning the achievement of performance milestones, or the interpretation of significant terms under any agreement, such as those related to financial obligations or the ownership or control of intellectual property developed during the collaboration. If any conflicts arise with any future collaborators, they may act in their self-interest, which may be adverse to our best interest, and they may breach their obligations to us. In addition, we may have limited control over the amount and timing of resources that any future collaborators devote to our or their future products. Disputes between us and our collaborators may result in litigation or arbitration which would increase our expenses and divert the attention of our management. Further, these transactions and arrangements will be contractual in nature and will generally be terminable under the terms of the applicable agreements and, in such event, we may not continue to have rights to the products relating to such transaction or arrangement or may need to purchase such rights at a premium.
If we enter into in-bound intellectual property license agreements, we may not be able to fully protect the licensed intellectual property rights or maintain those licenses. Future licensors could retain the right to prosecute and defend the intellectual property rights licensed to us, in which case we would depend on the ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce intellectual property protection for the licensed intellectual property. These licensors may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies or may pursue such litigation less aggressively than we would. Further, entering into such license agreements could impose various diligence, commercialization, royalty or other obligations on us. Future licensors may allege that we have breached our license agreement with them, and accordingly seek to terminate our license, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Information regarding sales of unregistered securities during the prior year periods covered hereby has been included in previous reports on Form 8-K or 10-K.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no sales of our securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Not applicable.
