Pro Forma Adjustments

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are as follows:

 

Pro Forma Adjustments – Balance Sheet

 

a) Reflects goodwill and deferred tax liability resulting from the acquisition method of accounting based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Transgenomic. This also includes the elimination of Transgenomic’s historical stockholders’ deficit accounts because Transgenomic is not considered to be the accounting acquirer.

 

b) Reflects acquired intangibles resulting from the acquisition method of accounting based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Transgenomic.

 

c) Elimination of historical intangibles of Transgenomic.

 

d) Issuance of New Precipio common stock.

 

e) Transgenomic pre-merger preferred stock converted to common stock.

 

f) Transgenomic pre-merger debt and accrued interest converted to common stock and $3 million of New Precipio preferred stock with an 8% annual dividend.

 

g) Issuance of New Precipio preferred stock to investors in a private placement. The pro form reflects a minimum investment of $2.5 million to be received at the time of the merger. The total expected to be received from the investors will be between $2.5 million and $7.0 million. If the full $7.0 million is received, the balance sheet impact would be an increase of $4.5 million to both cash and stockholders’ equity.

 

h) Precipio pre-merger debt and accrued interest converted to common stock and $3 million of New Precipio preferred stock with an 8% annual dividend.

 

i) Precipio pre-merger preferred shares converted to New Precipio common stock.

  

Pro Forma Adjustments – Statements of Operations

 

a) Eliminate amortization expense related to Transgenomic historical intangibles.

 

b) Record amortization expense related to newly acquired intangibles assuming useful lives between 2-20 years.

 

c) Eliminate interest expense for Transgenomic interest bearing debt that is converted to New Precipio common stock and New Precipio preferred stock.
