1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Business Description. Precipio, Inc., and its subsidiaries, (collectively, “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Precipio”) is a healthcare biotechnology company focused on improving cancer diagnostics. The Company’s objective is to enhance diagnostic accuracy and accessibility while building a sustainable business model that supports ongoing innovation . The Company can achieve this through a combination of clinical laboratory services and proprietary diagnostic product development. By integrating diagnostic services with product development, the Company’s service business doubles as a self-funded research and development (R&D) unit, enabling the Company to achieve rapid and cost-efficient innovation rather than being a major cost center of the Company. This unique integrated operating structure is the foundation of the Company’s approach to research, development, and product commercialization. Unlike companies that rely primarily on stand-alone research facilities or external clinical validation programs, the Company’s clinical laboratory operations enables its R&D team to evaluate, refine, and validate diagnostic products in the course of routine clinical testing activities, and at minimal incremental cost. Through these activities, the Company generates clinical data, operational experience, and specimen access that support ongoing assay development and product improvement. While these activities are initially conducted to provide diagnostic services to patients and their healthcare providers, they also contribute to product development and validation processes. Precipio has a single operating segment but operates two business divisions that are complementary to each other. The Company’s pathology services division provides specialized cancer diagnostic testing services to physicians, hospitals, and laboratories. This division generates revenue and supports the development of the Company’s expertise in oncology diagnostics. The pathology services division delivers specialized diagnostic testing focused primarily on hematologic cancers and operates a full laboratory that includes all the equipment, personnel, and work processes required to receive patient samples daily, and deliver clinical results to the physicians under the proper compliance umbrella, while also generating profitable revenue to the company. While reimbursement levels and testing volumes may vary, the Company views this division as an important foundation for both current operations and future product development. The Company’s product division develops and commercializes proprietary diagnostic assay kits designed for use by clinical laboratories. These products allow the Company to expand its reach by enabling other laboratories to benefit from the diagnostic products developed by the Company, while building scalable diagnostic solutions. The Company believes this dual structure provides a unique model for R&D development of clinically applicable products, while delivering operational stability and supporting innovation and future growth. Furthermore, it provides the Company with substantial competitive advantages in terms of the economics of product development, and time to market. The products division focuses on developing proprietary diagnostic assays and kits intended for use by other clinical laboratories. These products are designed to improve testing accessibility and laboratory workflow efficiency while enabling broader market reach without requiring Precipio to perform all testing internally. Product revenues may offer greater scalability than traditional laboratory services, although adoption depends on regulatory, reimbursement, and market factors. To deliver our strategy, we have structured our organization to develop diagnostic products, including our laboratory and research and development (“R&D”) facilities located in New Haven, Connecticut and Omaha, Nebraska, respectively, which house teams that collaborate on the development of new products and services. We operate clinical laboratory improvement amendment (“CLIA”) laboratories in both New Haven, Connecticut and Omaha, Nebraska where we provide essential blood cancer diagnostics to office-based oncologists in many states nationwide.…
