State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Precipio, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because management requires additional time to compile and verify the data required to be included in the report. The Company’s management and finance team have been unusually busy during the period leading up to the due date as a result of several recent transactions and the recent filing of the 10-K by the Company.

 

The Company intends to file the Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable, but no later than April 21, 2018 .

The Company does anticipate that a significant change in results of operations from the first quarter of 2017 will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2018 (the “Form 10-Q”) as a result of the Company’s merger with Precipio Diagnostics, LLC on June 29, 2017 (the “Merger”) and as a result of expenses incurred for capital raises and post-Merger operations.
