Operating Expenses were ~$9.3M, this includes $2.3M in costs from the ongoing restructuring plan and the NovellusDx merger. These factors led to a net loss of ($8.5M). The company reported a cash balance of $1.2M. Our focus on CGI remains implementing the restructuring program to try to position the company to return to growth across the clinical, biopharma and discovery services. We also remain concerned regarding capital needs, which CGI is working to address. The NovellusDx merger, which is on track to close in early 2019, is expected to bring in an additional $10M through an equity investment. More details are below; maintain Hold.”
