NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
NeoGenomics, Inc. ("NEO") was incorporated under the laws of the state of
Florida on June 1, 2001 and on November 14, 2001 agreed to be acquired by
American Communications Enterprises, Inc. ("ACE"). ACE was formed in 1998 and
succeeded to NEO's name on January 3, 2002 (collectively referred to as "we",
"us", "our").
On April 4, 2003, we amended our articles of incorporation to (1) effect a
one-for-100 reverse split, (2) reduce the authorized number of common shares
from 500,000,000 to 100,000,000, and (3) authorize 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock for future issuance, with such terms, restrictions and
limitations as may be established by the Board of Directors.
As a result of the above, all references to the number of shares and par value
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have
been adjusted to reflect the April 2003 reverse stock split as though it had
been completed as of June 1, 2001.
Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB
and Rule 10-1 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"). Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all
of the footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal
and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2003. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 contained in
our Form 10-KSB.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NEO
and ACE. All significant intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
Net revenues are recognized in the period when tests are performed and consist
primarily of net patient revenues that are recorded based on established billing
rates less estimated discounts for contractual allowances principally for
patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid and managed care and other health plans.
These revenues also are subject to review and possible audit by the payers. We
believe that adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may
result from final determination of amounts earned under all the above
arrangements. There are no known material claims, disputes or unsettled matters
with any payers that are not adequately provided for in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
7
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future
by establishing an allowance to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to
their estimated net realizable value. We estimate this allowance based on the
aging of its accounts receivable and our historical collection experience for
each type of payer.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are
required to make. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements include estimates related to contractual adjustments, and
the allowance for doubtful accounts. It is at least reasonably possible that our
estimates could change in the near term with respect to these matters.
NOTE B - GOING CONCERN
Our consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred significant
losses since our inception, and have experienced and continue to experience
negative operating margins and negative cash flows from operations. In addition,
we expect to have ongoing requirements for substantial additional capital
investment to implement our business plan. Since our inception, our operations
have been funded through private equity and debt, and we expect to continue to
seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt. As discussed
in Note D, in connection with this matter, in April 2003, we secured a
commitment from a related entity to provide us with $1.5 million of debt
financing in the form of a revolving credit facility. In addition, we have
recently completed laboratory facilities to run scientific tests that we believe
will begin to generate operating revenues. However, there can be no assurance
that we will be successful in these efforts, or that the credit facility will be
adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be
unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to
continue as a going concern.
NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We occasionally borrow funds from the Naples Women's Center ("NWC"), a company
owned by our president, to meet our short-term cash needs. These amounts have
been advanced to us with a stated interest rate of 8% and are due upon demand.
At March 31, 2003, we owed NWC approximately $117,300. Approximately $58,700 of
this amount was repaid in April 2003 in connection with the financing
transaction described in Note D.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, in order to meet short term cash
needs, we borrowed $132,000 from three individuals who are affiliates of Medical
Venture Partners, LLC ("Medical Venture Partners"), a venture capital firm with
whom we were negotiating a financing transaction (see Note D). These amounts,
having a stated interest rate of 8%, were repaid in April 2003 in connection
with the financing transaction described in Note D.
8
NOTE D - OTHER SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 15, 2003, we entered into debt and equity financing agreements with
Medical Venture Partners and its principals. Under the terms of the agreements,
affiliates of Medical Venture Partners purchased approximately 75% of our
outstanding common stock and agreed to make available up to $1.5 million of debt
financing in the form of a revolving credit facility. The debt financing and
approximately 50.5% of the equity investment are being made through MVP 3, LP, a
fund controlled by Medical Venture Partners. The remainder of the equity
investment was made by the three principals of Medical Venture Partners acting
individually.
Under the terms of the loan agreement, we will be able to borrow up to 80% of
"eligible" accounts receivable, 50% of our net furniture and equipment balance,
and up to $500,000 on an unsecured basis. As a condition to these transactions,
NEO, our President, MVP 3 LP and the principals of Medical Venture Partners
entered into a shareholders agreement that provides that MVP 3, LP will have the
right to appoint up to four of seven of our directors. We also entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with MVP 3 LP and the principals of Medical
Venture Partners granting them certain demand and piggyback registration rights.
At the time of the closing of this transaction, we entered into a one year
employment agreement with our President. The agreement, which renews
automatically for an unlimited number of terms of one year (unless a "Notice of
Termination" is delivered), provides for a base salary equal to 20% of the net
cash provided by operations of NEO (subject to a monthly cap of $20,000). In
addition, the agreement provides for a bonus of 10% of any amount by which our
quarterly net revenues exceed certain targets as established by our Board of
Directors.

Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
NeoGenomics, Inc. owns and operates a medical testing laboratory and research
facility based in Naples, Florida that is targeting the rapidly growing genetic
and molecular testing sub segment of the medical laboratory market. Our common
stock is listed on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol "NGNM."
Our business plan features two concurrent objectives:
1. Development of a clinical laboratory to offer routine
cytogenetics and molecular biology testing services; and
2. Development of a research laboratory to offer sponsored research
services to other companies that are seeking to develop genomic
products that will determine the genetic basis for female and
neonatal diseases, cancers and other forms of disease (See
"Research and Development").
The vision of NeoGenomics is to merge a high-end genetic and molecular testing
laboratory with ongoing research activities to help bridge the gap between
clinical medicine and genomic research. We believe that this combination will
allow the Company to speed the process of discovery and innovation and develop
new advanced testing methods to identify the genetic and molecular causes of
disease. Over the last 2-3 years, advances in technology and genetic research,
including the complete sequencing of the human genome, have made possible a
whole new set of tools to diagnose and treat diseases. This has opened up a vast
opportunity for laboratory companies that are positioned to address this growing
market segment.
The medical testing laboratory market can be broken down into three primary
segments: clinical lab testing, anatomic pathology testing, and
genetic/molecular testing. Clinical labs typically are engaged in high volume,
high automation tests on blood and urine. Clinical lab tests often involve
testing of a less urgent nature, for example, cholesterol testing and testing
associated with routine physical exams. This type of testing yields relatively
low average revenue per test. Anatomic pathology ("AP") testing involves
evaluation of tissue, as in surgical pathology, or cells as in cytopathology. AP
testing typically seeks to answer the question: is it cancer? The most widely
known AP tests are Pap smears, skin biopsies, and tissue biopsies. AP tests are
typically more labor and technology intensive than clinical lab tests and thus
typically have higher average revenue per test than clinical lab tests.
Genetic/molecular testing is the newest and fastest growing subset of the
laboratory market. Genetic testing or "cytogenetics" involves analyzing
chromosomes taken from the nucleus of cells for abnormalities in a process
called karyotyping. A karyotype evaluates the entire 46 human chromosomes by
number, and banding patterns to identify abnormalities associated with diseases.
Examples of cytogenetics testing include amniocentesis testing of pregnant women
to screen for genetic anomalies such as Down's syndrome in a fetus and bone
marrow testing to screen for types of leukemia. Molecular biology involves
testing for even more specific causes of diseases based on very small
alterations in cellular biology and DNA. Examples of common molecular biology
testing include screening for cystic fibrosis or Tay-Sachs disease. Both
cytogenetics and molecular biology have become important and accurate diagnostic
tools over the last five years and new tests are being developed monthly, thus
this market segment is expanding rapidly. Genetic/molecular testing requires
very specialized equipment and credentialed individuals (typically PhD level) to
certify the results. As a result of the sophistication involved in performing
these tests, we believe that genetic/molecular testing typically has the highest
average revenue/test of the medical testing sub segments.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2003, included with
this Form 10-QSB. Readers are also referred to the cautionary statement, which
addresses forward-looking statements made by us.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments
underlying them, are disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 included in our Form 10-KSB. We have
consistently applied these policies in all material respects. At this stage of
our development, these policies primarily address matters of expense
recognition. Although we anticipate that revenue recognition issues will become
critical in future years, the small amount of revenue that we have earned at
this stage minimizes the impact of any judgments regarding revenue recognition.
Management does not believe that our operations to date have involved
uncertainty of accounting treatment, subjective judgment, or estimates, to any
significant degree.
Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, we generated revenues and costs of
revenues of approximately $70,200 and $97,000 and we incurred a net loss of
approximately $114,800. We believe our gross margin will improve as we continue
to add more testing volume to our business. Our general and administrative
expenses were approximately $75,500 and are mainly comprised of administrative
services expenses, wages and depreciation. Research and development expenses
were approximately $8,200 and are mainly comprised of wages and other expenses
to put our research program into place. Interest expenses were approximately
$4,300 and are mainly comprised of interest payable on advances from related
parties.
Testing volumes and revenues began to show significant increases during the
three months ended March 31, 2003. During the quarter we billed $70,169 for 174
tests which resulted in average revenue per test of $403.27. Revenues per test
are a function of both the nature of the test and the payer (Medicare, Medicaid,
third party insurer, etc.). Our policy is to record amounts billed at the
amounts we expect to be collected based on published or contracted amounts and
prior experience with the payer. We have established a reserve for uncollectible
amounts based on estimates of what we will collect from co-payments and those
procedures performed that are not covered by insurance.
Since we did not begin laboratory testing operations until May 2002, operating
comparisons with the three months ended March 31, 2002 are not relevant.
However, on a sequential basis, our revenues increased by approximately 23% and
our testing volumes increased by approximately 44% compared to the three months
ending December 31, 2002.
11
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, our operating activities used
approximately $121,700 in cash. This amount primarily represented cash used to
pay general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. We also
spent $8,600 on new equipment. We were able to finance operations and equipment
purchases primarily through net advances of approximately $132,000 received from
significant shareholders. At March 31, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $1,741.
On April 15th, 2003, the Company entered into agreements with MVP 3 LP ("MVP
3"), a fund controlled by Medical Venture Partners, LLC, and its principals to
provide approximately $139,000 of equity financing and up to $1.5 million of
debt financing in the form of a revolving credit facility to the Company.
Under the terms of the revolving credit agreement, advances to the Company are
limited, at any given time, to the sum of i) 50% of our net property, plant and
equipment; (ii) 80% of our accounts receivable that are less than 90 days old;
and (iii) beginning on July 1, 2003, $500,000 that is not tied to any specific
collateral. Interest under the revolving credit agreement is payable monthly at
the prime rate plus a spread of 8.0%.
At the present time, we have very limited cash resources. We do not anticipate
that we will generate significant cash flow from operating activities until
2004. Over the next twelve months, we plan to finance our operations through
borrowings under our revolving credit facility with MVP 3. Advances under this
revolving credit facility are limited, at any given time, based on a formula
contained in the loan agreement. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be eligible to obtain all of its working capital funding needs from MVP 3, LP or
another source. If the Company is unable to obtain such funding, the Company
will be required to curtail or discontinue operations.
12
Capital Expenditures
Management currently forecasts capital expenditures for the coming year in order
to execute on its business plan. We plan to fund these expenditures through
borrowings under our revolving credit facility with MVP 3, LP and through
traditional lease financing from equipment lessors. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be eligible to obtain all of its capital equipment funding
needs from MVP 3, LP or another source. If the Company is unable to obtain such
funding, the Company will be required to curtail its equipment purchases which
may have an impact on the Company's ability to generate revenues.
Staffing
We plan to increase our work force. Currently, we have five full-time and two
part-time employees. We plan to add additional laboratory technicians and
research scientists to assist us in handling a greater volume of tests and to
perform sponsored research projects. We also plan to continue building our sales
force to continue to increase our sales to customers and we intend to add
personnel in the management, accounting, and administrative areas. Management
added six employees during 2002 and expects to add further personnel during the
balance of 2003.
