These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management team. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. The forward-looking statements are based on projections prepared by, and are the responsibility of, our management. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this report, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Important factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements such as those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in other filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” are not exhaustive. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Quantum-Si Incorporated (including its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Quantum-Si”) (formerly HighCape Capital Acquisition Corp. (“HighCape”)) was incorporated in Delaware on June 10, 2020. The Company’s legal name became Quantum-Si Incorporated following a business combination between the Company and Q-SI Operations Inc. (formerly Quantum-Si Incorporated) on June 10, 2021 (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is an innovative life sciences company with the mission of transforming single-molecule analysis and democratizing its use by providing researchers and clinicians access to the proteome, the set of proteins expressed within a cell. The Company has developed a proprietary universal single-molecule detection platform that the Company is first applying to proteomics to enable Next-Generation Protein Sequencing (“NGPS”), the ability to sequence proteins in a massively parallel fashion (rather than sequentially, one at a time), and can be used for the study of nucleic acids. The Company’s platform is comprised of the Carbon™ automated sample preparation instrument, the Platinum™ NGPS instrument, the Quantum-Si Cloud™ software service, and reagent kits and chips for use with its instruments.

Although the Company has incurred recurring losses each year since its inception, the Company expects its cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be able to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including certain notes required by U.S. GAAP, on an annual reporting basis.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the year ending December 31, 2023, or any other period.

Except for revenue, inventory and capitalized software development costs discussed elsewhere in this note, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

COVID-19

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020 and declared a National Emergency by the President of the United States on March 13, 2020, has led to adverse impacts on the United States and global economies and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts on the Company’s operating results, financial condition and cash flows. On May 11, 2023, the federal public health emergency for COVID-19, declared under Section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, expired.

The Company has not incurred any significant impairment losses in the carrying values of the Company’s assets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and is not aware of any specific related event or circumstance that would require the Company to revise its estimates reflected in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its industry and the Company and has concluded that while it is possible that the virus could have a future negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in its condensed consolidated financial statements, the specific future impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Table of Contents

Other Global Developments

In 2022, various central banks around the world (including the Federal Reserve in the United States) raised interest rates. These rate increases have caused an overall decline in the fair value of the Company’s fixed income mutual funds to date. The impact of such rate changes on the overall financial markets and the economy may continue to impact the Company in the future, including by making capital more difficult and costly to obtain on reasonable terms and when needed. In addition, the global economy has experienced and is continuing to experience high levels of inflation and global supply chain disruptions. The Company continues to monitor these supply chain, inflation and interest rate factors, as well as the uncertainty resulting from the overall economic environment.

In addition, although the Company has no operations in or direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine, the Company has experienced some constraints in product and material availability and increasing costs required to obtain some materials and supplies as a result of the impact of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict on the global economy, which has contributed to the global supply chain disruptions. To date, the Company’s business has not been materially impacted by the conflict. However, as the conflict continues or worsens, it may adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially all of the Company’s marketable securities were invested in fixed income mutual funds at one financial institution. See Note 5 “Investments in Marketable Securities” in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding our realized losses on such accounts. The Company also maintains balances in certain operating accounts above federally insured limits and, as a result, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Segment Reporting

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, its Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Company’s financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating its financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates as a single reportable segment.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year’s presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates and assumptions include:

●

valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets;

●

inventory valuation;

●

assumptions used for leases;

●

valuation of warrant liabilities;

●

assumptions associated with revenue recognition; and

●

assumptions underlying the fair value used in the calculation of stock-based compensation.

The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Inventory, Net

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory primarily consists of raw materials and finished goods of $1,134 and $834, respectively, as of June 30, 2023.

Materials that may be utilized for either research and development or, alternatively, for commercial purposes, are classified as inventory. Amounts in inventory that are used for research and development purposes are charged to research and development expense when the product enters the research and development process and can no longer be used for commercial purposes and, therefore, does not have an “alternative future use” as defined in authoritative guidance.

The Company performs an assessment of the recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period and, if needed, writes down any excess and obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value in the period it is identified. As of June 30, 2023, there were no write-downs recorded against inventory.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes certain internal use software development costs related to its SaaS platform incurred during the application development stage when management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the project, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable that the expenditure will result in additional functionality. Costs related to preliminary project activities and to post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which is generally two years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of the assets. Capitalized costs are recorded as Internally developed software in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense related to Internally developed software was $46 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023 amortization expense is expected to be $180 for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2023 and $360and $133 for the years ending December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is derived from sales of products and services. Product revenue is primarily generated from the sales of instruments and consumables used in protein sequencing and analysis. Service revenue is primarily generated from service maintenance contracts including cloud access, proof of concept services and advanced training for instrument use. The Company recognizes revenue when or as a customer obtains control of the promised goods and services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for these goods and services. This process involves identifying the contract with a customer, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the contract price, allocating the contract price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue as the performance obligations have been satisfied. Revenue recognition for contracts with multiple deliverables is based on the separate satisfaction of each distinct performance obligation within the contract. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and is separately identified in the contract. The Company allocates transaction price to the performance obligations in a contract with a customer based on the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information and specific factors such as competitive positioning, internal costs, profit objectives, and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligation.

The Company considers performance obligation for sales of products is satisfied upon shipment of the goods to the customer in accordance with the shipping terms (either upon shipment or delivery), which is when control of the product is deemed to be transferred; this would include instruments and consumables. Customers generally do not have a right of return, except for defective or damaged products during the warranty period or unless prior written consent is provided. In instances where right of payment or transfer of title is contingent upon the customer’s acceptance of the product, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Revenues for service maintenance contracts, which start after the first year of purchase and are considered as service type warranties that effectively extend the standard first-year warranty coverage at the customer’s option, are recognized ratably over the contract service period as these services are performed evenly over time. Revenues for proof of concept services and advanced training is recognized upon satisfaction of the underlying performance obligation. The Company typically provides a standard one-year warranty which covers defects in materials and workmanship and manufacturing or performance conditions under normal use and service for the first year. The first year of the warranty of the products is considered an assurance-type warranty. The Company has determined that this standard first-year warranty is not a distinct performance obligation.

Table of Contents

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by type of revenue – products and services. The Company believes that product revenue and service revenue aggregate the payor types by nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue streams. Total revenue generated from domestic sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $102 and $356, respectively. Total revenue generated from international sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $103.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue is a contract liability that consists of customer payments received in advance of performance or billings in excess of revenue recognized, net of revenue recognized from the balance at the beginning of the period.

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings and payments received in advance of revenue recognition from service maintenance contracts including software subscription, proof of concept services and advanced training, and is reduced as the revenue recognition criteria are met. Deferred revenue also includes proof of concept services and advanced training provided to customers until the service has been performed. Deferred revenue is classified as current or non-current based on expected revenue recognition timing. Specifically, deferred revenue that will be recognized as revenue within the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current and is included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the portion of deferred revenue where revenue is expected to be recognized beyond 12 months from the reporting date is recorded as non-current deferred revenue and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had remaining performance obligations amounting to $176, $144 of which is included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $32 is included within Other long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to recognize approximately 78% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2023, and an additional 22% for the year ending December 31, 2024 and thereafter.

The amount of revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 that was included in the deferred revenue balance of $73at December 31, 2022 was $1 and $70, respectively.

Warranty

The Company provides a free 12-month assurance-type warranty to customers with the initial purchase of a PlatinumTM instrument. The cost of the warranty is accrued upon the initial sale of an instrument in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in Cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are considered part of the transaction price and are recognized as revenue with the underlying product sales.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted

No new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITION

Majelac Technologies LLC

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Majelac Technologies LLC (“Majelac”), and certain other parties, on November 5, 2021 (the “Majelac Closing Date”), the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Majelac, a privately-owned company providing semiconductor chip assembly and packaging capabilities located in Pennsylvania, for $4,632 in cash including $132 in reimbursement for certain recently purchased equipment, and 535,715shares of Class A common stock, valued at $4,232, issued to Majelac subject to certain restrictions. An additional 59,523 shares of Class A common stock valued at $471were issued to Majelac 12 months after the Majelac Closing Date on November 7, 2022. The Company also assumed the legal fees of Majelac of $50. Additional purchase price consideration of $500 in cash was to be paid six months after the Majelac Closing Date less any amount that could be required by the buyer indemnitees to satisfy any unresolved claims for indemnification, if any. The Company agreed to pay additional milestone-based consideration of up to $800, which was fair valued at $531 on the Majelac Closing Date. On May 4, 2022, the Company paid Majelac $900 in cash, which consisted of $500 for the additional purchase price consideration and $400 (fair value of $348 at the Majelac Closing Date) for the first of two milestones that was met. As of June 30, 2023, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was de minimis as the probability of the second milestone being met by November 1, 2023 was remote. As a result, the Company recorded a gain of $400 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 in Other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The acquisition brought semiconductor chip assembly and packaging capabilities in-house and secured the Company’s supply chain to support its commercialization efforts. Prior to the acquisition, Majelac was a vendor of the Company.

The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation at the Majelac Closing Date as follows:

	Purchase Price Allocation
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	27
Property and equipment, net		906
Goodwill		9,483
Total	$	10,416

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the aggregate fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition was based on operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from the combined operations. The goodwill acquired is amortizable for tax purposes over a period of 15 years. During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company concluded the goodwill from the Majelac acquisition was fully impaired and recorded a charge of $9,483 on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Acquisition-related costs recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 including transaction costs such as legal, accounting, valuation and other professional services, were $1 and $26, respectively, and are included in Selling, general and administrative on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no acquisition-related costs recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value.

The Company measures fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The Company utilizes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

●

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

●

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

●

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Table of Contents

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short-term or on demand nature of these instruments. Fixed income mutual funds were valued using quoted market prices and accordingly were classified as Level 1. There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company’s outstanding warrants include publicly traded warrants (the “Public Warrants”) which were issued as one-third of one redeemable warrant per unit issued during HighCape’s initial public offering on September 9, 2020, and warrants sold in a private placement (the “Private Warrants”) to HighCape’s sponsor, HighCape Capital Acquisition LLC. The Company accounted for the warrants as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented as Warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented as Change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Public Warrants and Private Warrants were carried at fair value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Public Warrants were valued using Level 1 inputs as they are traded in an active market. The Private Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model, which results in a Level 3 fair value measurement. The primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Warrants was the expected volatility of the Company’s Class A common stock. The expected volatility was based on consideration of the implied volatility from the Company’s own Public Warrant pricing and on the historical volatility observed at guideline public companies. As of June 30, 2023, the significant assumptions used in preparing the binomial lattice model for valuing the Private Warrants liability include (i) volatility of 80.7%, (ii) risk-free interest rate of 4.50%, (iii) strike price of $11.50, (iv) fair value of common stock of $1.79, and (v) expected life of 2.9 years. As of December 31, 2022, the significant assumptions used in preparing the binomial lattice model for valuing the Private Warrants liability include (i) volatility of 75.1%, (ii) risk-free interest rate of 4.10%, (iii) strike price of $11.50, (iv) fair value of common stock of $1.83, and (v) expected life of 3.4years.

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy:

In December 2021, the Company signed a 10-year lease for approximately 67,000 square feet of space located at 115 Munson Street in New Haven, Connecticut. The lease commenced on January 8, 2022 with rent payments beginning on July 7, 2022. Under the lease, the landlord contractually agreed to reimburse the Company for up to $9,104 in improvements to the space, to be used for such improvements as the Company deems “necessary or desirable”. On September 13, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit against the landlord, alleging that the landlord has: (i) refused to reimburse the Company for costs related to improvements already incurred and submitted; (ii) delayed the Company’s completion of improvements, in order to avoid reimbursing the costs of those improvements; and (iii) improperly rejected the Company’s proposed improvement plans.

The Company accounted for the $9,104of lease incentives as an offset to the lease liability recorded at the inception of the lease. From the total lease incentives, the Company has incurred and recognized leasehold improvements of approximately $1,100 related to reimbursable construction costs included in construction in progress within Property and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Although the Company believes it is contractually entitled to the $9,104of lease incentives, based on the current status of the litigation, the Company cannot determine the likely outcome or estimate the impact on such carrying values.

9. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company’s 2013 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan, as amended on March 12, 2021 (the “2013 Plan”), was originally adopted by its Board of Directors and stockholders in September 2013. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company adjusted the equity awards. The adjustments to the awards did not result in incremental expense as the equitable adjustments were made pursuant to a preexisting nondiscretionary antidilution provision in the 2013 Plan, and the fair-value, vesting conditions, and classification are the same immediately before and after the modification. In connection with the Business Combination, HighCape’s stockholders approved and adopted the Quantum-Si Incorporated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and the Company no longer makes issuances under the 2013 Plan. The 2021 Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock or cash-based awards. Directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as others performing consulting or advisory services for the Company, are eligible for grants under the 2021 Plan. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 8,886,743 and 9,133,702 shares, respectively, available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.

On November 9, 2022, the Company granted inducement awards consisting of 2,780,000performance-based stock options to purchase Class A common stock pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4). These awards were not granted pursuant to the 2013 Plan or the 2021 Plan.

On May 8, 2023, the Company adopted the 2023 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Inducement Plan”) to reserve 3,000,000shares of its common stock to be used exclusively for grants of awards to individuals that were not previously employees or directors of the Company as a material inducement to such individuals’ entry into employment with the Company within the meaning of Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The terms and conditions of the 2023 Inducement Plan are substantially similar to those of the 2021 Plan. On May 15, 2023, the Company granted inducement awards under the 2023 Inducement Plan consisting of 1,000,000 time-based stock options and 1,000,000 performance-based stock options. As of June 30, 2023, there were 1,000,000 shares available for issuance under the 2023 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock option activity

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted an aggregate of 9,131,580 stock option awards to participants, with vesting subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates. Stock-based compensation related to stock options for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $2,316 and $1,807, respectively. Stock-based compensation related to stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $4,595 and $3,301, respectively.

10. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all common share equivalents of the Company, including those presented in the table below, to the extent dilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per share was the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all common share equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the Company’s common stock:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2023			2022			2023			2022
Numerator
Net loss	$	(25,573	)	$	(32,414	)	$	(49,184	)	$	(67,589	)
Numerator for basic and diluted EPS - loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(25,573	)	$	(32,414	)	$	(49,184	)	$	(67,589	)
Denominator

Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(0.18	)	$	(0.23	)	$	(0.35	)	$	(0.49	)

Net loss per share attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders was the same on a basic and diluted basis, as the inclusion of all potential common equivalent shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive common equivalent shares were as follows:

	June 30,
	2023		2022

11. WARRANT LIABILITIES

Public Warrants

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were an aggregate of 3,833,319outstanding Public Warrants, which entitle the holder to acquire Class A common stock. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase oneshare of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, beginning on September 9, 2021. The warrants will expire on June 10, 2026 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Redemptions

At any time while the warrants are exercisable, the Company may redeem not less than all of the outstanding Public Warrants:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

●

if, and only if, the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants at $0.01 per warrant, each holder of Public Warrants will be entitled to exercise held Public Warrants prior to the scheduled redemption date.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption for $0.01as described above, the Company’s Board of Directors may elect to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” If the Company’s Board of Directors makes such election, all holders of Public Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the “fair market value”. For purposes of the redemption provisions of the warrants, the “fair market value” means the average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

The Company evaluated the Public Warrants under ASC 815-40, in conjunction with the SEC Division of Corporation Finance’s April 12, 2021 Public Statement, Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “SEC Statement”), and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the exercise of the warrants may be settled in cash upon the occurrence of a tender offer or exchange offer in which the maker of the tender offer or exchange offer, upon completion of the tender offer or exchange offer, beneficially owns more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, even if it would not result in a change of control of the Company. This provision would preclude the warrants from being classified in equity and thus the warrants should be classified as a liability.

Private Warrants

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 135,000Private Warrants outstanding. The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that so long as they are held by the Sponsor or any of its permitted transferees, (i) the Private Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants were not transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and (iii) the Private Warrants are not subject to the Company’s redemption option at the price of $0.01 per warrant. The Private Warrants are subject to the Company’s redemption option at the price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the other conditions of such redemption are met, as described above. If the Private Warrants are held by a holder other than the Sponsor or any of its permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios applicable to the Public Warrants and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company evaluated the Private Warrants under ASC 815-40, in conjunction with the SEC Statement, and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the terms of the warrants provide for potential changes to the settlement amounts depending upon the characteristics of the warrant holder, and, because the holder of a warrant is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares, such provision would preclude the warrant from being classified in equity and thus the warrant has been classified as a liability.

Table of Contents

The fair value of warrant liabilities was $915and $996 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized losses of $310 and gains of $81 as a Change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recognized gains of $2,337 and $4,984 as a Change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. There were no exercises or redemptions of the Public Warrants or Private Warrants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

12. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are recorded at the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate, subject to adjustments for discrete events, if they occur. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate was 0.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for these periods and the Company’s overall effective tax rate of 0.0% were related to the effects of deferred state income taxes, nondeductible stock-based compensation, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, research and development credits, and the valuation allowance recorded against the full amount of its net deferred tax assets.

A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of sufficient future taxable income during the period in which the Company’s related temporary differences become deductible. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 since management believes that based on the earnings history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits of these assets will not be realized.

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company utilized and subleased office and laboratory space in a building owned by a related party. The Company paid $76 and $81 under month-to-month lease arrangements for this space for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $156 and $161 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company no longer subleases this space as of June 30, 2023.

The Company was a party to an Amended and Restated Technology Services Agreement (the “ARTSA”), most recently amended on November 11, 2020, by and among 4Catalyzer Corporation (“4C”), the Company and other participant companies controlled by Dr. Jonathan Rothberg, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company entered into a First Addendum to the ARTSA on February 17, 2021 pursuant to which the Company agreed to terminate its participation under the ARTSA no later than immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, resulting in the termination of the Company’s participation under the ARTSA on June 10, 2021. In connection with the termination of the Company’s participation under the ARTSA, the Company terminated its lease agreement with 4C and negotiated an arm’s length lease agreement. Under the ARTSA, the Company and the other participant companies had agreed to share certain non-core technologies, which means any technologies, information or equipment owned or otherwise controlled by the participant company that are not specifically related to the core business area of the participant and subject to certain restrictions on use. The ARTSA also provided for 4C to perform certain services for the Company and each other participant company such as monthly administrative, management and technical consulting services to the Company which were pre-funded approximately once per quarter. The Company incurred expenses of $132 and $158, which included $21 and $47 under month-to-month sublease arrangements for office and laboratory spaces from 4C, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred expenses of $258 and $368, which included $48 and $97 under month-to-month sublease arrangements for office and laboratory spaces from 4C, during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The amounts advanced and due to 4C at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 related to operating expenses were $36 and $70, respectively, which are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts advanced and due from 4C at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, related to operating expenses were $0 and $37, respectively, and are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The ARTSA also provided for the participant companies to provide other services to each other. The Company also had transactions with other entities under common ownership, which included payments made to third parties on behalf of the Company and payments made by the Company to third parties on behalf of the other entities. There were no amounts remaining payable to the Company or from the Company at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

On September 20, 2021, the Company entered into a Binders Collaboration (the “Collaboration”) with Protein Evolution, Inc. (“PEI”) to develop technology and methods in the field of nanobodies and potentially other binders to produce novel biological reagents and related data. The Collaboration was made pursuant to and governed by the Technology and Services Exchange Agreement, effective as of June 10, 2021, by and among the Company and the participants named therein, including PEI. Dr. Rothberg serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of PEI and the Rothberg family are controlling stockholders of PEI. Effective March 31, 2022, the Collaboration with PEI was terminated, and the Company paid a final payment of $1,135 under the Collaboration for all services rendered.

Overview

We are an innovative life sciences company with the mission of transforming single-molecule analysis and democratizing its use by providing researchers and clinicians access to the proteome, the set of proteins expressed within a cell. We have developed a proprietary universal single-molecule detection platform that we are first applying to proteomics to enable Next-Generation Protein Sequencing (“NGPS”), the ability to sequence proteins in a massively parallel fashion (rather than sequentially, one at a time), that can be used for the study of nucleic acids. We believe that with the ability to sequence proteins in a massively parallel fashion and offer a simplified workflow with a faster turnaround time, NGPS has the potential to unlock significant biological information through improved resolution and unbiased access to the proteome at a speed and scale that is not available today. Traditionally, proteomic workflows to sequence proteins required days or weeks to complete. Our platform is designed to offer a single-day workflow including both sample preparation and sequencing. Our platform is comprised of the Carbon™ automated sample preparation instrument, the Platinum™ NGPS instrument, the Quantum-Si Cloud™ software service, and reagent kits and chips for use with our instruments. We intend to follow a systematic, phased approach to continue to successfully launch our platform, for research use only (“RUO”). We believe we are the first company to successfully enable NGPS on a semiconductor chip, thus digitizing a massive proteomics opportunity, which allows for a massively parallel solution at the ultimate level of sensitivity —single-molecule detection.

We believe that our platform offers a differentiated end-to-end workflow solution in a rapidly evolving proteomics tools market. Within our initial focus market of proteomics, our workflow is designed to provide users a seamless opportunity to gain key insights into the immediate state of biological pathways and cell state. Our platform aims to address many of the key challenges and bottlenecks with legacy proteomic solutions, such as mass spectrometry (“MS”), which are complicated and often limited by manual sample preparation workflows, high instrument costs both in terms of acquisition and ownership and complexity with data analysis, which together prevent broad adoption. We believe our platform, which is designed to streamline sample preparation, sequencing, and data analysis at a lower instrument cost than legacy proteomic solutions, could allow our product to have wide utility across the study of the proteome. For example, our platform could be used for biomarker discovery and disease detection, pathway analysis, immune response, and vaccine development, among other applications.

In 2021, we introduced our Platinum early access program to sites with participation from leading academic centers and key industry partners. The early access program introduced the Platinum single-molecule sequencing system to key opinion leaders across the globe, for both expansion and development of applications and workflows. We launched the Platinum^TM instrument and started to take orders in December 2022, and subsequently began commercial shipments of Platinum™ in January 2023.

Total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. We define backlog as purchase orders or signed contracts from our customers for which we have not fulfilled and therefore have not yet recognized the associated revenue. We anticipate converting this backlog to revenue in the subsequent quarters; however, our ability to do so is subject to customers who may seek to cancel or delay their orders even if we are prepared to fulfill them. As of June 30, 2023, our backlog was approximately $0.1 million.

COVID-19

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020 and declared a National Emergency by the President of the United States on March 13, 2020, has led to adverse impacts on the United States and global economies and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts on our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. On May 11, 2023, the federal public health emergency for COVID-19, declared under Section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, expired.

We have not incurred any impairment losses in the carrying values of our assets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and are not aware of any specific related event or circumstance that would require us to revise our estimates reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our industry and have concluded that while it is possible that the virus could have a future negative effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in our condensed consolidated financial statements, the specific future impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Other Global Developments

In 2022, various central banks around the world (including the Federal Reserve in the United States) raised interest rates. These rate increases have caused a decline in the fair value of our fixed income mutual funds to date. The impact of such rate changes on the overall financial markets and the economy may continue to impact us in the future, including by making capital more difficult and costly to obtain on reasonable terms and when needed. In addition, the global economy has experienced and is continuing to experience high levels of inflation and global supply chain disruptions. We continue to monitor these supply chain, inflation and interest rate factors, as well as the uncertainty resulting from the overall economic environment.

In addition, although we have no operations in or direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine, we have experienced some constraints in product and material availability and increasing costs required to obtain some materials and supplies as a result of the impact of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict on the global economy, which has contributed to the global supply chain disruptions. To date, our business has not been materially impacted by the conflict. However, as the conflict continues or worsens, it may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Developments

In April 2023, we informed the contract manufacturer who manufactures our Platinum and Carbon instruments that we intend to wind down the relationship and transition to a different contract manufacturer. We intend to complete the process of winding down this relationship by the end of the fourth quarter 2023.

Description of Certain Components of Financial Data

Revenue

Revenue is derived from sales of products and services. Product revenue is generated from the following sources: (i) instrument sales of our Platinum instrument and (ii) consumables, which consist of sales of our sequencing reagents, chips, and library reagents. Service revenue is generated from service maintenance contracts including cloud access, proof of concept services and advanced training for instrument use. Freight revenue is recognized as Product revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss upon product shipment.

See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding our revenue recognition policies.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of product and service costs including material costs, personnel costs and benefits, inbound and outbound freight, packaging, warranty replacement costs, royalty costs, facilities costs, depreciation and amortization expense, and inventory obsolescence and write-offs.

Research and development

Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel costs and benefits, stock-based compensation, lab supplies, consulting and professional services, fabrication services, facilities costs, depreciation and amortization expense, software, and other outsourced expenses. Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. All of our research and development expenses are related to developing new products and services.

Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs and benefits, stock-based compensation, patent and filing fees, consulting and professional services, legal and accounting services, facilities costs, depreciation and amortization expense, insurance and office expenses, product advertising and marketing.

Dividend income

Dividend income primarily consists of dividends earned on fixed income mutual funds classified as marketable securities.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities primarily consists of the change in the fair value of our publicly traded warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and our warrants sold in a private placement (the “Private Warrants”).

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net primarily consists of realized and unrealized losses on fixed income mutual funds in marketable securities.

Provision for income taxes

We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes where deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established against net deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. We recorded a full valuation allowance as of June 30, 2023 and 2022. Based on the available evidence, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will be unable to utilize all of our deferred tax assets in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of equity to private investors, as well as on June 10, 2021, we completed the Business Combination, and as a result we received proceeds of approximately $511.2 million on the day of the closing of the Business Combination. Additionally, we began to generate revenue during 2023. Our primary uses of liquidity have been operating expenses, capital expenditures and our acquisition of certain assets of Majelac. Cash flows from operations have been historically negative as we continue to invest in the development of our technology in NGPS. We expect to incur negative operating cash flows on an annual basis for the foreseeable future until such time that we can scale our revenue growth.

We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities, together with revenue from the sale of our products and services, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity, capital expenditure, and anticipated working capital requirements and fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. We expect to use our cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities and funds from revenue generated to invest in our continued commercialization efforts, to further invest in research and development, for other operating expenses, business acquisitions and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities totaling $297.2 million. Our future capital requirements may vary from those currently planned and will depend on various factors including the pace and success of product commercialization.

We launched the Platinum^TM instrument and started to take orders in December 2022, and subsequently began commercial shipments of Platinum™ in January 2023. In addition, we are continuing further research and development efforts to enhance our Platinum™ instrument as well as completing a business case evaluation surrounding our Carbon^TM sample preparation solution. Based on these initiatives and activities, our business will require an accelerated amount of spending to enhance the sales and marketing teams, continue to drive development, and build inventory. Other factors that could accelerate cash needs include: (i) delays in achieving scientific and technical milestones; (ii) unforeseen capital expenditures and fabrication costs related to manufacturing for commercialization; (iii) changes we may make in our business or commercialization strategy; (iv) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; (v) costs of running a public company; (vi) other items affecting our forecasted level of expenditures and use of cash resources, including potential acquisitions; and (vii) increased product and service costs.

In the future, we may be unable to obtain any required additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on acceptable terms or otherwise, we may be unable to successfully develop or enhance products and services, respond to competitive pressure or take advantage of acquisition opportunities, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

We lease certain facilities and equipment under non-cancellable lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2032. As of June 30, 2023, the future payments, before adjustments for tenant incentives, under leases was $33.3 million, which includes a lease we entered into in December 2021 for a facility in New Haven, Connecticut, which commenced in January 2022, and a lease that commenced in April 2022 for a facility in Branford, Connecticut.

Licenses related to certain intellectual property

We license certain intellectual property, some of which may be utilized in our current or future product offerings. To preserve the right to use such intellectual property, we are required to make annual minimum fixed payments totaling approximately $0.2 million as well as royalties based on net sales if the royalties exceed annual minimum fixed payments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about items that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived from sales of products and services. Product revenue is primarily generated from the sales of instrument and consumables used in protein sequencing and analysis. Service revenue is primarily generated from service maintenance contracts including cloud access, proof of concept services and advanced training for instrument use. Freight revenue is recognized as Product revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss upon product shipment.

We recognize revenue when control of our products and services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive from our customers in exchange for those products and services. This process involves identifying the contract with a customer, determining the distinct performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. Revenue recognition for contracts with multiple deliverables is based on the separate satisfaction of each distinct performance obligation within the contract. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and is separately identified in the contract. We consider a performance obligation satisfied once we have transferred control of a good or service to the customer, meaning the customer has the ability to use and obtain the benefit of the good or service. We allocate transaction price to the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, based on the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation. We determine standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the standalone selling price taking into account available information and specific factors such as competitive positioning, internal costs, profit objectives, and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligation.

Our performance obligation for sales of products is considered satisfied upon shipment of the goods to the customer in accordance with the shipping terms (either upon shipment or delivery), which is when control of the product is deemed to be transferred; this would include instruments and consumables. Customers generally do not have a right of return, except for defective or damaged products during the warranty period or unless prior written consent is provided. In instances where right of payment or transfer of title is contingent upon the customer’s acceptance of the product, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in Cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are considered part of the transaction price and are recognized as revenue with the underlying product sales. Revenues for service maintenance contracts, which start after the first year of purchase and are considered as service type warranties that effectively extend the standard first-year warranty coverage at the customer’s option, are recognized ratably over the contract service period as these services are performed evenly over time. Revenues for proof of concept services and advanced training is recognized upon satisfaction of the underlying performance obligation. We typically provide a standard one-year warranty which covers defects in materials and workmanship and manufacturing or performance conditions including bug fixes under normal use and service for the first year. The first year of the warranty of our products is considered an assurance-type warranty and we have determined that this standard first-year warranty is not a distinct performance obligation. Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings and payments received in advance of revenue recognition from service maintenance contracts including cloud access, proof of concept services and advanced training, and is reduced as the revenue recognition criteria are met.

There have been no additional material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Inflation risk

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, other than its impact on the general economy. Nonetheless, to the extent our costs are impacted by general inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases or manufacturing efficiencies. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Interest rate risk

Our marketable securities are comprised primarily of investments in fixed income mutual funds. The primary objective of our investments is the preservation of capital to fulfill liquidity needs. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Interest rate increases have resulted in changes in the fair value of our fixed income mutual funds to date. As of June 30, 2023, this cumulative impact is a net unrealized loss of $14.8 million. The impact of such rate changes on the overall financial markets and the economy may continue to impact us in the future.

Foreign Currency Risk

Presently, we operate our business primarily within the United States and currently execute the majority of our transactions in U.S. dollars. This limited foreign currency translation risk is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to managing our risk relating to fluctuations in currency rates.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We began commercial shipments of the Platinum™ protein sequencing instrument in the first quarter of 2023. We are in the process of evaluating and implementing additional controls over the processes that are associated with the commercial launch of Platinum including but not limited to revenue recognition and inventory. There were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

RISK FACTORS.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties including the risk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 filed, with the SEC on May 11, 2023, and the risk factor described below.

Product orders included in our backlog may be cancelled or delayed and may not be indicative of future revenues.

We define backlog as purchase orders or signed contracts from our customers for which we have not fulfilled and therefore have not yet recognized the associated revenue. We anticipate converting this backlog to revenue in the subsequent quarters; however, our ability to do so is subject to customers who may seek to cancel or delay their orders even if we are prepared to fulfill them. No assurance can be given that these amounts will be recovered after cancellation. Any cancellation or delay of orders may result in revenues that are lower than expected. As a result, we cannot provide assurances as to the portion of backlog orders to be filled in a given quarter or year, and our order backlog as of any particular date may not be representative of actual revenues for any subsequent period. As of June 30, 2023, our backlog was approximately $0.1 million.
