Organization and Basis of Presentation

Business Organization and Overview

Trovagene, Inc. (“Trovagene” or the “Company”) is a precision medicine biotechnology company headquartered in San Diego, California. The Company’s primary focus is to develop oncology therapeutics for improved cancer care by leveraging its proprietary Precision Cancer Monitoring® (“PCM”) diagnostic technology in tumor genomics. The Company’s PCM technology allows for detection and quantitation of oncogene mutations in cancer patients for improved disease management. Trovagene’s Trovera™ liquid biopsy test, which utilizes PCM technology, is designed to provide important clinical information beyond the current standard of care. Trovagene has broad intellectual property and proprietary technology to measure circulating tumor DNA (“ctDNA”) in urine and blood to identify and quantify clinically actionable markers for predicting response to cancer therapeutics. Trovagene offers its PCM technology at its Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”)-certified/College of American Pathologists (“CAP”)-accredited laboratory and plans to continue to vertically integrate its PCM technology with precision cancer therapeutics.

Liquidity

Trovagene’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2017 have been prepared under the assumption that Trovagene will continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to generate additional revenue.

The Company cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that the Company can raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the Company’s stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact the Company’s ability to conduct its business.

If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, it may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of its product candidates, all of which may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations. The Company may also be required to:


•	Seek collaborators for product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; and


•	Relinquish licenses or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates or products that the Company would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize themselves, on unfavorable terms.

The Company is evaluating the following options to raise additional capital, increase revenue, as well as reduce costs, in an effort to strengthen its liquidity position:


•	Raising capital through public and private equity offerings;


•	Adding capital through short-term and long-term borrowings;


•	Introducing operation and business development initiatives to bring in new revenue streams by leveraging capabilities within our CLIA lab, as well as monetizing our proprietary NextCollect™ DNA collection and preservation cup;


•	Reducing operating costs by identifying internal synergies;


•	Engaging in strategic partnerships; and


•	Taking actions to reduce or delay capital expenditures.

The Company continually assesses any spending plans, including a review of its discretionary spending in connection with certain strategic contracts, to effectively and efficiently address its liquidity needs.
