SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with GAAP and, as of March 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for fiscal year 2023.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Precipio and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and the Joint Venture which is a VIE in which we are the primary beneficiary. Refer to the section titled “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” for further information related to our accounting for the Joint Venture. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification.

Certain reclassifications were made to the statements of cash flows related to splitting accruals and deferred revenue to separate lines in order to conform to the 2023 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported retained earnings, net income, total assets or liabilities, or cash flows used in operating activities.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

We evaluate any entity in which we are involved to determine if the entity is a VIE and if so, whether we hold a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. We consolidate VIEs that are subject to assessment when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The process for determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE is to conclude whether we are a party to the VIE holding a variable interest that meets both of the following criteria: (1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE.

We have determined that we hold a variable interest in the Joint Venture, have the power to make significant operational decisions on behalf of the VIE and also have the obligation to absorb the majority of the losses from the VIE.  As such we have also determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The following table presents information about the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the Joint Venture which we consolidate and which are included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation and not reflected in the following table.

Loss Per Share

Loss Per Share.

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants or conversion rights that have exercise or conversion prices below the market value of our common stock. Options, warrants and conversion rights pertaining to 5,571,536 and 4,584,622 shares of our common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because the effect is anti-dilutive due to the net loss.

The following table summarizes the outstanding securities not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share:

	March 31,
	2023	2022
Stock options	4,764,905	3,635,487
Warrants	689,131	831,635
Preferred stock	117,500	117,500
Total	5,571,536	4,584,622
