RESPONSE :
The Company filed its Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025 on May 15, 2025. The Company included in that filing, and will include in subsequent
filings, the segment disclosures required by ASC 280-10-50, as amended by ASU 2023-07. The applicable portion of Note 2 to the Company's
Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025 reads as follows:
Segments
The Company uses the "management approach" in determining reportable
operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company's chief operating
decision maker ("CODM"), who is our chief executive officer, for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the
source for determining the Company's reportable segments. Management, including the CODM, reviews operating results solely by monthly
revenue and operating results of the Company and, as such, the Company has determined that the Company has one operating segment as defined
by ASC Topic 280 "Segment Reporting".
One hundred percent of the Company's revenues are generated from
products testing for major types of cardiovascular disease, and therefore the Company has one operating segment for financial reporting
purposes. The Company's principal products are its Epi+Gen CHD and PrecisionCHD tests. Epi+Gen CHD assesses the risk for a coronary
heart disease event, including a heart attack, in the next three years. PrecisionCHD aids in diagnosing and managing coronary heart disease.
The tests can be paid for by provider organizations, patients, and/or employers. Customers are generally charged for tests utilized for
the minimum committed test volume and the pricing can vary based on organization type, size and volume.
