Quarter 2023 and Recent Highlights:
| Completed an equity capital raise of $13.86 million from the sale and issuance of common stock to strengthen the balance sheet and further support the Company's product portfolio. | ||
| Implemented additional cost cutting initiatives to accelerate our transition to a capital-light business model based on commercializing kitted product versions of our novel diagnostic tests. | ||
| Published a peer-reviewed article in Clinical Cancer Research on the results of a study applying DetermaIO to samples collected from the randomized Phase II AtezoTRIBE clinical trial in metastatic colorectal cancer. | ||

| Four explored the tumor microenvironment and its potential implications for therapeutic response, leveraging the expertise and technology behind DetermaIO. | ||
| One abstract highlighted exciting study results applying DetermaCNI to metastatic pancreatic cancer. |
the first quarter we completed the major steps in committing the company to a kitted product driven commercial model," said Josh
Riggs, CEO. "Our novel diagnostic tests have continued to generate compelling clinical data in studies that strongly suggest superiority
to currently marketed diagnostic tests that generate hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue. And our development team is making rapid
progress getting kitted versions of our tests to market. As a result of our new capital-light business plan, our strong clinical data,
and our steady progress toward market, we raised $13.86 million in April from the sale and issuance of our common stock to existing and
new investors who share our long-term vision to create value for both patients and shareholders."

and Development expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $2.8 million compared to $5.1 million, a decrease of $2.3 million from the
