(1)The Company and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

~~Berkeley Lights,~~PhenomeX Inc. (the “Company” or ~~“Berkeley Lights”~~“PhenomeX”) is a ~~leading Digital Cell Biology~~functional cell biology company ~~focused~~that provides live cell biology research tools which deliver deep insights into cellular function and new perspectives on enabling and accelerating the rapid development and commercialization of biotherapeutics and other cell-based products. Berkeley Lights’ platform is a fully integrated, end-to-end solution, comprised of advanced automation systems, proprietary consumables, including the Company’s OptoSelect chips and reagent kits, and advanced application and workflow software.phenomes.

~~Berkeley Lights~~PhenomeX and its consolidated subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as the “Company.” The Company’s headquarters are in Emeryville, California.

Basis of Presentation

On December 21, 2022, Berkeley Lights, Inc. (“Berkeley Lights”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with Iceland Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkeley Lights (“Merger Sub”) and IsoPlexis Corporation (“IsoPlexis”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement on March 21, 2023 (“Acquisition Date”), Merger Sub was merged with IsoPlexis, with IsoPlexis surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkeley Lights (“IsoPlexis Merger”). The newly combined company has been renamed PhenomeX. The historical financial statements of PhenomeX for periods prior to the IsoPlexis Merger are the historical financial statements of Berkeley Lights.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements ~~(the “condensed~~(“condensed consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Liquidity

The Company has experienced losses from its operations since its inception and has relied primarily on equity and debt financing to fund its operations to date. For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company had a consolidated net loss of ~~$21.6~~$23.4 million ~~and $68.7 million, respectively,~~ and as of ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 had an accumulated deficit of ~~$332.3~~$385.1 million. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $51.6 million as of March 31, 2023.

On March 21, 2023, the Company acquired IsoPlexis which also had experienced losses since its inception, and entered into the second amended and restated credit agreement with East West Bank (“EWB”), which increased the Company’s term loan with EWB from $20.0 million to $70.0 million, of which $52.5 million (including prepayment premium and interest) was ~~$134.7~~used to repay indebtedness of IsoPlexis. The second amended and restated credit agreement with EWB requires the Company to maintain $70.0 million ~~at September 30, 2022. Management expects~~of cash in a deposit account with EWB that is assigned to EWB. This deposit is recorded as restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. See Note 12 for additional information on our second amended and restated credit agreement with EWB including the covenants contained therein.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue ~~to incur significant expenses for~~as a going concern within one year after these financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the ~~foreseeable future~~realization of assets and ~~to incur operating losses~~the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the ~~near term while~~normal course of business. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustment that might result if the Company makes investments to support its anticipated growth. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance as of September 30, 2022 provides sufficient capital resourcesis unable to continue ~~its operations for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.~~

~~Organizational and presentational changes~~

During the third quarter 2022, the Company made certain changes to its operating structure to align with its new business strategy. These changes included reorganizing the Company’s go-to-market efforts, the termination of approximately 12% of its workforce (see Note 12 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information), and additional organizational changes.

~~As part of these changes, the Company’s “service center,”~~as a team of scientists and engineers who perform services for both internal and external projects, is now part of the Company’s platform sales and support organization. The service center historically reported to the Company’s former Chief Product Officer.

~~As a result of these changes, the Company updated its classification of operating expenses as follows:~~

~~1. Expenses related to the termination of employees during the third quarter discussed above are classified in “Restructuring” within Operating Expenses.~~

2. The Company now discloses “Selling, general and administrative” expenses which includes expenses historically reported in “Sales and marketing” as well as “General and administrative” expenses. The Company has reclassified the prior period to conform to the current period presentation for this change.

~~3. Expenses~~Management’s intent is to implement plans that will allow the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to improve operating cash flow by increasing its revenue and lowering its operational costs. New commercial leadership, geographic expansion, and a refined product roadmap are expected to drive revenue growth, and significant cost synergies as a result of the IsoPlexis Merger and are expected to lower operating expenses. Cost synergies are expected to be accomplished by eliminating duplicative costs associated with maintaining the ~~Company’s service center are~~infrastructure needed by public companies, complementary R&D capabilities, marketing resources and sales operations, and manufacturing, supply chain, logistics and operations synergies. In addition, the Company is evaluating financing options including the potential to raise equity and debt financing. While management is focused on these efforts, there can be no ~~longer~~assurance that the Company will be ~~classified as “Research and development” expenses, and instead are classified as “Selling, general and administrative”~~ ~~expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as of the third quarter of 2022.~~

~~Service center expenses recorded~~successful in “Selling, general and administrative” during the three months ended September 30, 2022, were $4.7 million. Service center expenses recorded in “Research and development” during the six months ended June 30, 2022, were $9.7 million. Service center expenses recorded in “Research and development” during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, were $3.8 million and $7.8 million, respectively.doing so.

(Unaudited)

At each reporting date, the Company performs an evaluation of impairment of its short-term available-for-sale marketable debt securities to determine if the fair value of its investment is less than its amortized cost basis. Impairment is assessed

Inventory

Inventories are recorded at the ~~individual security level. Factors considered~~lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. Inventory that is obsolete or in ~~determining whether an investment~~excess of forecasted usage is ~~impaired include the Company’s intent~~written down to its estimated net realizable value based on assumptions about future demand and ~~ability~~market conditions.

Costs included in inventories are raw materials, labor, supplies, allocable depreciation of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments, any change to the rating of the security by a rating agency, any adverse legal or regulatory events affecting the issuer or issuer’s industry, manufacturing facilities, equipment and ~~any significant deterioration in economic conditions.~~overhead.

~~Stock-Based Compensation~~Stock-based compensation

The Company maintains the 2020 Incentive Award Plan (“2020 Plan”), an incentive compensation plan under which stock options, ~~and~~ restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are granted to employees, non-employee consultants and directors.

Stock-based compensation expense is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award. The Company determines the fair value of RSUs and RSAs based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by Nasdaq on the date of the grant.

The Company estimates the fair value of the majority of stock option awards on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For option awards that include a goal tied to the Company share price (i.e. a market condition) the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value.

~~Berkeley Lights, Inc.~~

~~Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

The fair value of stock options, RSUs and ~~RSUs~~RSAs with only a service condition is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in which the awards are expected to vest and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Stock options and RSUs that include a service condition and a performance condition are considered expected to vest when the performance condition is probable of being met. Compensation expense associated with performance awards that are determined to be probable of achievement is recognized over the requisite service period on a tranche-by-tranche basis.

For performance stock options and RSUs not initially assessed as probable of achievement, the Company records a cumulative adjustment to compensation expense in the period the Company changes its determination that a performance condition becomes probable of being achieved. The Company ceases recognition of compensation expense in any periods where the Company determines the attainment of a performance condition is no longer probable. If the performance goals are determined to be improbable, any previously recognized compensation expense is reversed.

The fair value of stock options with a market condition is recognized over the requisite service period for each tranche of the award and is recognized regardless of whether (or to what extent) the market condition is ultimately achieved.

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which generally requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values as of the Acquisition Date on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any excess of consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The determination of estimated fair value requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. As a result, we may record adjustments to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed

PhenomeX Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

within the measurement period (up to one year from the Acquisition Date) with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as they are incurred.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Intangible assets are measured at their respective fair values as of the Acquisition Date and may be subject to adjustment within the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the Acquisition Date. The Company does not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the assets are impaired. Such triggering events potentially warranting an annual or interim goodwill impairment assessment include, among other factors, declines in historical or projected revenue, operating income or cash flows, and sustained decreases in the Company’s stock price or market capitalization. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company experienced a decline in its market capitalization as a result of a sustained decrease in the Company’s stock price. Although the Company only recently acquired goodwill, as the Company operates as a single reporting unit, this sustained decrease was considered to represent a triggering event requiring management to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2023. Refer to Note 8, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for further information.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis, and are reviewed for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Should there be an indication of impairment, we test for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to be impaired, any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.

Foreign currency translation and transactions

The Company assesses the functional currency of each of its international subsidiaries. For subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, gains or losses arising from currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar are included in other income (expense), net.

For subsidiaries where the functional currency is the local currency, the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expense accounts using the average exchange rate during each period. The gains and losses resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity and are excluded from net income. The portions of intercompany accounts receivable and accounts payable that are intended for settlement are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date.

Research and development state tax credits

Research and development (“R&D”) tax credits exchanged for cash pursuant to the Connecticut R&D Tax Credit Exchange Program, which permits a qualified small business engaged in R&D activities within Connecticut to exchange its unused R&D tax credits for a cash amount equal to 65% of the value of exchanged credits, are

recorded as a receivable and other income in the year the R&D tax credits relate to, as it is reasonably assured that the R&D tax credits will be received, based upon the Company’s history of filing for and receiving the tax credits. R&D tax credits receivable where cash is expected to be received by the Company more than one year after the balance sheet date are classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has recorded $0.2 million of R&D tax credits receivable as of March 31, 2023.

Warrants

On March 21, 2023 and in connection with the closing of the IsoPlexis Merger, PhenomeX, IsoPlexis and Perceptive Credit Holdings III, LP (“Perceptive”) executed a warrant certificate to purchase shares of PhenomeX stock (“Warrant Certificate”). The Company accounts for these common stock warrants as equity classified instruments in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

Marketable Securities reported as Short-term Marketable Securities

As of March 31, 2023, the Company did not hold any short-term marketable securities. Realized gains/losses from the sale of short-term marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were immaterial.

Short-term marketable securities at December 31, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

At each reporting date, the Company performs an evaluation of impairment to determine if any unrealized losses are the result of credit losses. Impairment is assessed at the individual security level. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities as of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2022 were not significant and were primarily market driven due to changes in interest rates, and not due to increased credit risk associated with specific securities. Accordingly, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses on these short term investments as of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2022.

See Note 9 for information about the fair value of the Company’s short-term marketable securities.

(4)Significant Risks and Uncertainties Including Business and Credit Concentrations

~~institutions.~~ The Company invests its excess cash in money market funds and short-term available-for-sale debt securities with the primary objective of facilitating liquidity and capital preservation. The Company has established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and maturities that seek to maintain safety and liquidity. Deposits in ~~these~~ financial institutions may exceed the amounts of insurance provided on such deposits. To date, the Company has not experienced any material realized losses on its deposits of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals and monitoring procedures. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the related invoices and represents the Company’s best estimate of expected credit losses in its existing trade accounts receivable. At ~~each~~March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of ~~September 30, 2022 and~~$0.9 million.

(5)Business Combinations

IsoPlexis Merger

On March 21, 2023, the Company completed the IsoPlexis Merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, IsoPlexis shareholders received, for each share of IsoPlexis stock, 0.612 shares of Berkeley Lights common stock (which was automatically converted into shares of PhenomeX common stock).

Consideration Transferred

The Acquisition Date fair value of consideration transferred in the IsoPlexis Merger totaled $84.9 million, summarized as follows (in thousands):


Fair value of PhenomeX common stock issued to IsoPlexis stockholders (1)	$	31,930
Repayment of IsoPlexis debt (2)	52,482
Fair value of vested IsoPlexis options attributable to pre-merger service (3)	306
Fair value of IsoPlexis warrant at Acquisition Date (4)	170
Total purchase consideration	$	84,888

(1) Represents the fair value of PhenomeX common stock issued to IsoPlexis stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The fair value is based on 24,945,611 shares of PhenomeX common stock at $1.28 per share on March 21, 2023 issued to IsoPlexis stockholders. IsoPlexis stockholders received 0.612 shares of PhenomeX stock for each IsoPlexis share they held.

(2) Represents $50 million in principal repayment to retire debt of IsoPlexis, as required by change in control provisions of the debt, as well as prepayment penalties and accrued interest.

(4) Represents the fair value of the IsoPlexis warrant assumed by PhemoneX at March 21, 2023 (see Note 13 for additional information).

Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The Company accounted for the IsoPlexis Merger as a business combination. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their preliminary fair values as of the Acquisition Date and are consolidated into our financial statements. The assignment of fair market value requires significant judgments regarding the estimates and assumptions used to value the acquired assets and liabilities assumed. For the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we utilized the cost, income and market approaches from the perspective of a market participant.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date (in thousands). The Company used third party valuation professionals to aid in the determination of the estimated fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company is in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation associated with this transaction. As such, the preliminary purchase allocation set forth below is subject to revision as additional information is obtained and the valuation process is completed.

The fair value of assets acquired includes accounts receivable of $3.1 million, which is net of an associated allowance for credit losses of $0.7 million.

Inventory

The fair value of inventory acquired was $27.3 million, which included a step up of $4.9 million from the book value as a result of the valuation at the Acquisition Date.

Historical depreciation and amortization for IsoPlexis has been removed and the new fair values of the assets are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives.

•Interest Expense- Entry into the Second Amended Term Loan and repayment of the Perceptive Credit Agreement are assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2022. Historical interest expense has been removed and replaced with the applicable interest rate as of March 21, 2023 associated with the Second Amended Term Loan, which was 8.5%.

•Transaction costs- Both entities incurred transaction costs, which totaled $13.7 million. Of the $13.7 million, approximately $4.4 million was incurred in the first quarter of 2023 and has been eliminated as it is not recurring.

•Accounting policies adjustment- IsoPlexis historically classified certain operations, quality and facility related costs in selling, general and administrative expenses. To align with PhenomeX accounting policies, these costs were reclassified to costs of goods sold or research and development. However, since this is a reclassification between expense line items on the statement of operations, the adjustment does not have an impact on revenue or net loss for purposes of the pro forma financial information disclosed above.

For the period subsequent to the Acquisition Date, IsoPlexis contributed total revenues and operating loss of $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, that were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, the Company signed an agreement to license, on an exclusive and perpetual basis, certain intellectual property acquired in the IsoPlexis Merger for $7.3 million (See Note 6 for additional information).

(6)Revenue From Contracts With Customers

The Company’s revenue consists of both product revenue and service and other revenue, which is primarily generated through the following revenue streams: (i) platform, (ii) recurring and (iii) ~~partnerships.~~partnership, license and other.

The Company in the first quarter entered into a license arrangement whereby certain patents were licensed to a third party and for which the customer agreed to pay a non-refundable fee. For licenses of intellectual property the Company recognizes revenue from non-refundable fees when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license.

Performance Obligations

A significant number of the Company’s product and service sales, as well as its feasibility study arrangements, are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied related to customer contracts in excess of one year was ~~$4.3~~$12.0 million, which, to the extent invoiced, is included in deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, of which approximately ~~44%~~50% is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized afterwards.

~~(7)~~(8)Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

On March 21, 2023, the Company completed the IsoPlexis Merger. Under the purchase method of accounting, the Company preliminarily recorded the $12.2 million excess of the Acquisition Date fair value of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets that it acquired as goodwill. At March 31, 2023, the carrying amount of this goodwill was $12.2 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company experienced a decline in its market capitalization as a result of a sustained decrease in the Company’s stock price. The Company considered such sustained decrease to represent a triggering event requiring management to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2023. Based on the results of the quantitative goodwill impairment test, it was concluded that the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit was greater than its carrying value, as such, the Company did not record a goodwill impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2023. In future periods, if the Company were to experience a further decline in its market capitalization or expected results for a sustained period of time, the Company may be required to perform an additional quantitative goodwill impairment assessment at an interim or annual period and could be required to recognize a non-cash goodwill impairment charge at that time, which could be material.

Acquired Intangible Assets

In connection with the IsoPlexis Merger, the Company identified certain intangible assets summarized in the table below (see Note 5 for further information). In addition, on February 15, 2023, the Company acquired certain tangible and intangible assets from Evorion Biotechnologies for a total purchase price of $0.3 million, of which $0.2 million related to intangible assets attributable to patents and technology. These intangible assets are also included in the table below.

Amortization expense was $39,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In connection with the License Agreement, the Company reviewed the patented technology intangible for indicators of impairment, noting that the patented technology was valued using the relief from royalty approach based on projected revenues from products and services of IsoPlexis, which did not contemplate the License Agreement. In addition, the Company still owns, and retains certain rights to, the intellectual property that was licensed under the License Agreement. Accordingly the Company concluded that an impairment was not necessary.

The estimated annual amortization of intangible assets for the remainder of 2023 and the next four years is presented in the table below (in thousands). Actual amortization expense to be reported in future periods could differ from these estimates as a result of the finalization of the preliminary purchase price allocation of the IsoPlexis Merger, divestitures and other factors.

•Cash equivalents: At March 31, 2023, the Company’s cash equivalents consisted of ~~September 30, 2022~~money market funds. Money market funds are highly liquid investments and are actively traded and pricing information is readily available. Accordingly, the Company ~~held investments~~classifies these securities as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

•Short Term Marketable Securities: At March 31, 2023, the Company did not hold any short term marketable securities. Generally, the Company values short-term marketable securities using quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments. Accordingly, the Company classifies marketable securities ~~classified~~ as ~~cash equivalents.~~ Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Second Amended Term Loan has a maturity of 60 months and bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) the greater of 6.25% or the variable rate of interest, per annum, most recently announced by EWB as its prime rate, plus (ii) one-half of one percent (0.5%). In addition, the Second Amended Term Loan has an initial interest-only period of 24 months, which can be extended up to two times, each by an additional six months, if certain EBITDA tests as set forth in the Second Amended Loan Agreement are satisfied. The Second Amended Term loan carries a prepayment penalty equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of any prepayment of the outstanding balance, if the prepayment is made before the first anniversary of the loan closing date. The Second Amended Loan Agreement was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and the Company capitalized incremental debt issuance costs.

The Second Amended Term Loan is guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (such subsidiaries, together with the Company, the “Credit Parties”). The Second Amended Loan Agreement grants EWB a security interest in and liens on substantially all assets of the Company and the other Credit Parties, excluding intellectual property, ~~which is subject~~provided, that if the Company does not satisfy a liquidity test set forth in the Second Amended Loan Agreement, the Credit Parties will be required to grant a ~~double negative pledge.~~first-priority security interest in their intellectual property.

IsoPlexis Merger:

~~(11)~~•All outstanding IsoPlexis RSAs were assumed by PhenomeX and converted into PhenomeX RSAs based on the 0.612 conversion ratio (see Note 5) and on the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting schedules and restrictions) as applied to IsoPlexis RSAs immediately prior to the closing of the IsoPlexis Merger.

•All outstanding IsoPlexis stock options (whether vested or unvested) that had a per share exercise price of less than $1.28 and were held by continuing employees were assumed by PhenomeX and converted into PhenomeX stock options based on the 0.612 conversion ratio (and rounded down) and on the same terms and conditions (including with respect to time-based vesting) as applied to IsoPlexis stock options immediately prior to the closing of the IsoPlexis Merger, with the exercise price per share of the assumed stock options determined by dividing the per share exercise price of the IsoPlexis options by the 0.612 conversion ratio (and rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The assumed stock options expire 10 years from their original date of grant. The assumed stock options and RSAs generally vest 25% upon the one-year anniversary of the service inception date and then ratably each month over the remaining 36 months.

On March 21, 2023, PhenomeX assumed 304,619 IsoPlexis RSAs and 378,767 IsoPlexis stock options after applying the 0.612 conversion ratio. The Company accounted for the assumed equity awards as a modification under ASC 718 and recorded stock compensation expense of $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 associated with the modification.

Future grants of equity awards will be issued under the Company’s 2020 Plan.

Warrant Certificate

On March 21, 2023 and in connection with the closing of the IsoPlexis Merger, PhenomeX, IsoPlexis and Perceptive executed the Warrant Certificate. Under the Warrant Certificate, the outstanding warrant (“IsoPlexis Warrant”) to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of IsoPlexis (“IsoPlexis Common Stock”), issued by IsoPlexis to Perceptive was assumed by PhenomeX and converted into a warrant (“PhenomeX Warrant”) to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.00005, of PhenomeX (“PhenomeX Common Stock”), on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as were applicable to the IsoPlexis Warrant as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Date; provided, that the PhenomeX Warrant is exercisable for 496,560 shares of PhenomeX Common Stock ~~Compensation Plans~~(i.e., a number of shares of PhenomeX Common Stock equal to the number of shares of IsoPlexis Common Stock that were subject to the IsoPlexis Warrant multiplied by the 0.612 exchange ratio and has an exercise price of $9.80 per share of PhenomeX Common Stock (i.e., the exercise price per share of IsoPlexis Common Stock that was applicable to the IsoPlexis Warrant divided by 0.612).

Restricted stock awards

As a result of the IsoPlexis Merger and discussed above, the Company now has RSAs outstanding. RSAs are rights to receive shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon meeting specified vesting requirements. The fair value of a RSA is the market value as determined by the closing price of the Company’s stock on the original grant date.

(14)Restructuring

During 2022, the Company adopted a new strategic plan with the intention of reducing costs and better aligning the organization with the Company’s ~~Board of Directors elected to reprice all outstanding stock options granted to non-executive employees of~~long-term goals. As a result, the Company ~~under~~approved a set of restructuring initiatives in 2022 and continued with similar initiatives in the ~~Berkeley Lights, Inc. 2020 Incentive Plan with a strike price above~~first quarter of 2023. During the ~~closing price~~three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred restructuring charges of ~~the Company’s common stock as reported by Nasdaq as of May 19, 2022. The new strike price for these repriced stock options is $4.91, which was the May 19, 2022 closing price. There were no~~$1.3 million, related to severance and other ~~modifications to these options, including vesting schedules. Options representing 763,307 underlying shares were included in this repricing and the total incremental expense~~employee-related restructuring costs associated with the ~~modification of these options was $1.5 million, of which $0.5 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2022 with the remaining to be recognized through February 22, 2026.~~

In addition, non-executive employees of the Company with outstanding options granted under the Berkeley Lights 2011 Equity Incentive Plan with a strike price above the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on Nasdaq as of May 19, 2022 were granted an RSU for every two stock options held with a strike price above the closing price as of May 19, 2022. These RSUs were granted on June 1, 2022 and vest in full on June 1, 2024, subject to the employee’s continued service. An aggregate total of 353,625 RSUs were granted to such employees resulting in $1.5 million of compensation expense, of which approximately $55 thousand was recorded in the second quarter of 2022 with the remaining to be recognized through June 1, 2024.

~~CEO Equity Grants~~

On March 10, 2022, the Company granted its newly appointed Chief Executive Officer 1,017,177 RSUs, 339,059 time-based stock options and 678,118 performance-based stock options (“PSOs”). The RSUs and time-based stock options vest quarterly over 3 years and the time-based stock options have a 10 year term.

The PSOs have a 7-year performance period, a 10-year term and vest based upon the achievement of certain market conditions and a continued service-based requirement. Market condition-related vesting is triggered based on the Company’s stock price reaching certain goals that range from two to 20 times the Company share price on the date of grant.

~~Berkeley Lights, Inc.~~

~~Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

Although no PSOs will vest until a market condition is satisfied, as of March 31, 2022, the Company began recording stock-based compensation expense for each vesting tranche of the PSOs based on the estimated achievement date of the specified stock price target. The valuation and probability of achievement for each tranche is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The same Monte Carlo simulation is used as the basis for determining the expected achievement date. As the probability of achievement is factored in as part of the Monte Carlo simulation, the expense for these tranches will be recognized concurrently over each tranche’s estimated achievement date even if some or all of the PSOs never vest. If the related market condition for a tranche is achieved earlier than expected, all unamortized expense for such tranche will be recognized immediately. As of September 30, 2022, none of the PSOs had vested.

In August 2022, the court denied AbCellera’s and UBC’s motion to lift the stay.

In August 2020, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against AbCellera and Lineage BioSciences, Inc., an entity previously acquired by AbCellera (“AbCellera IV”). The complaint included two counts of unfair competition and one count of a declaratory judgment of non-infringement of U.S. Patent No. 10,058,839. The Company was seeking, among other things, damages and a judgment of non-infringement. In October 2020, the Company filed an amended complaint asserting the same three counts and AbCellera and Lineage filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which was granted, without prejudice, in part. In light of the Company’s amended answer and counterclaims in the consolidated lawsuits, which were amended to include its federal and state unfair competition claims as discussed above, in July 2021 the Company filed a notice of dismissal without prejudice in the AbCellera IV lawsuit, resulting in its termination.

Securities Class Action

In December 2021, Victor J. Ng filed a securities class action complaint ~~(the “Securities~~in the Northern District of California (“Securities Class Action”), which was amended on July 25, 2022. The Securities Class Action is on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired: (a) Berkeley Lights common stock pursuant and/or traceable to certain July 2020 Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) offering documents and/or (b) securities of Berkeley Lights between July 17, 2020 and January 5, 2022, inclusive. The complaint alleges claims under §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder as well as §§11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. It names as defendants the Company, certain of the Company’s current and former senior executives and directors, the underwriter firms that sponsored the Company’s July 2020 IPO, and three firms that invested in the Company. The Company believes that the assertions in the Securities Class Action are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. The Company’s pending Motion to Dismiss is set for hearing on June 22, 2023. Outcomes in litigation can be uncertain and it is possible a court may disagree with the Company’s positions. An adverse determination in the Securities Class Action could subject the Company to significant liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Derivative Action

In March 2022, Trung Nguyen filed a shareholder derivative complaint on behalf of nominal defendant Berkeley Lights, Inc., alleging that certain of the Company’s current and former directors and certain of the Company’s current and former senior executives breached their fiduciary duties to the Company. The complaint also alleged that certain of the Company’s current and former directors and former senior executives used material, non-public information to improperly profit from the sale of Company stock, and that certain of the Company’s current and former senior executives owe the Company contribution for violations of ~~sections~~Sections 10(b) and 21D of the ~~Securities~~ Exchange ~~Act of 1934.~~Act.

Overview

PhenomeX is the combination of two companies, Berkeley Lights and IsoPlexis. Berkeley Lights acquired IsoPlexis on March 21, 2023 (the “IsoPlexis Merger”) and the newly combined company was rebranded as PhenomeX.

PhenomeX is a ~~leading Digital Cell Biology~~life sciences tools company focused on enabling and accelerating the rapid development and commercialization of biotherapeutics and other cell-based products. The Berkeley Lights Platform captures deep phenotypic, functional and genotypic information for thousands of single cells in parallel and can also deliver the live biology customers desire in the form of the best cells. This iswith a ~~new way to capture and interpret the qualitative language of biology and translate it into single-cell specific digital information, referred to as Digital Cell Biology. We currently~~ focus on ~~enabling~~functional cell biology. Our products and services provide customers with, among other offerings, Optofluidic platforms such as the ~~large~~Beacon and ~~rapidly growing markets of antibody therapeutics, cell therapy, gene therapy, agricultural biology and synthetic biology with our platform.~~

~~The~~Beacon Select (developed by Berkeley Lights Platform can be used to characterize the performance of cells relevant to the desired cell-based product early in the discovery process and then connect this phenotypic data to the genetic code for each cell. In contrast, current genomic technologies find sequences first and fail to deliver the functional information early in the process. Performing functional validation early means letting poorly performing cells fail early while rapidly advancing the best candidates forward, before incurring significant research and development expense. Our platform repeats this process of fail and advance many times throughout the process, delivering the best cells for what we believe will deliver the best product.

Our platform is a fully integrated, end-to-end solution, comprised of advanced automation systems, proprietary consumables, including our OptoSelect chips and reagent kits, and advanced application and workflow software. Customers load onto our system their live cell samples,Lights) as well as ~~media~~Proteomic Barcoding platforms, such as the IsoLight System and ~~reagents, then~~ the ~~cells are imported onto our OptoSelect chips where integrated workflows are performed~~IsoSpark System (developed by IsoPlexis). These platforms provide scientists with opportunities to ~~assess specific~~perform cell ~~functions and attributes. Our platform captures and delivers rich single-cell data to find the best cells. Our platform leverages~~biology research through experiments using our proprietary ~~OptoElectro Positioning (“OEP”) technology, which enables deterministic positioning~~consumables.

The mission of ~~living single cells~~PhenomeX is to empower scientists to leverage the full potential of each cell and ~~other micro-objects using light. OEP is a core technology~~drive the next era of ~~our platform and allows for a high level of control over live single cells or other micro-objects throughout the~~ functional ~~characterization process.~~

Our commercial workflows, each of which are distinct offerings, are made up of four modules we call Import, Culture, Assay and Export. From the initial launch of our platform through September 30, 2022, we have commercially launched ten workflows.

~~During 2022, we validated the unique capability on our platform to select and retrieve high-value stable producer~~ cell ~~lines~~biology that can improve the cost and therapeutically relevant yields for manufacturing Adeno-associated virus (“AAV”)-based gene therapies, which we believe represents a significant return on investment opportunity in the near term. As such, we intend to dedicate a significant number of our resources towards development of this workflow in the remainder of 2022 and in 2023.

Since our inception in 2011, we have incurred net losses in each year. Our net losses were $21.6 million and $20.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $68.7 million and $54.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $332.3 million and cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $134.7 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future.

~~Certain of our financial results and other key operational developments include the following:~~

•Total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $21.4 million and $60.8 million, respectively, compared to $24.3 million and $62.2 million for the same periods in 2021, respectively.

•~~Gross profit in absolute dollarsslightly decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Gross margin increased to 70% during the three months ended~~

September 30, 2022 compared to 63% in the same period in 2021. Gross profit increased in absolute dollars during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased to 69% compared to 65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.will advance human health.

~~Strategy~~

~~In August 2022, we updated our company-wide~~PhenomeX’s strategy is organized around the following five key pillars:

1. Generate positive operating cash flow ~~by early 2025.~~in the fourth quarter of 2024.

2. Prioritize research and development’s return on investment through increased focus and rigor on development initiatives.

3. Deliver consistent commercial execution through a new sales structure and enhanced product portfolio and pricing strategy.

4. Build a world-class life sciences leadership team with a proven track record in profitably scaling life sciences tools companies.

5. Evaluate merger and acquisition opportunities that will help us accelerate profitable growth and leverage our current cost structure.

~~By focusing~~Recent Events

As noted above, on ~~these five pillars,~~March 21, 2023 we ~~believe we can transform~~completed the IsoPlexis Merger.As Berkeley Lights was the acquiring company, historical financials included herein are the financials of Berkeley Lights. The results of IsoPlexis are included in the combined results of PhenomeX from the acquisition date (March 21, 2023). We believe the IsoPlexis Merger enhances our strategy by, among other things, the following:

•Offering an expanded product portfolio at different price points with a ~~technology~~focus on recurring revenue;

•Growing the combined company’s share in a larger cell biology market through expanding its diversified customer base;

•Enhancing the combined company's commercial scale and execution;

•Delivering an expected $70 million in cost synergies to pursue profitability and advance the path to cash flow breakeven; and

• Serving as a platform ~~company to a diverse life sciences~~for further consolidation in the high-growth, single-cell biology tools ~~and services company.~~space.

Recent Trends

In the second half of 2022, certain of our strategic partnership and services engagements have ended. Coupled with our focus on the AAV opportunity discussed above, we expect revenue from strategic partnership and services agreements to decline in the near term. For additional information, see “Risk Factors—Our revenue under our customer sales engagements, program and service agreements and strategic partnerships and services for any particular period can be difficult to forecast.” in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

~~In addition, there~~There are multiple broad based factors impacting our business:

1.The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a significant impact around the world, prompting governments and businesses to take unprecedented measures, including temporary closures of businesses, quarantines and shelter in place orders.

2.Global and domestic supply chains and the timely availability of raw materials and products have been and may continue to be materially disrupted by quarantines, factory slowdowns or shutdowns, border closings and travel restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

3.Macroeconomic factors, including the war between Ukraine and Russia as well as political instability ~~in the United States, the United Kingdom and~~ elsewhere, has resulted in unfavorable global economic conditions, including increased inflation and interest rates, and may lead to a recession.

2.Global and domestic supply chains and the timely availability of raw materials and product as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic factory slowdowns or shutdowns, border closing and other measures has previously impacted our operational and financial performance and its impact in future periods remains uncertain.

3.Adverse developments affecting financial institutions and the financial services industry, including the government closure of Silicon Valley Bank, have affected certain of our vendors, suppliers, investors and customers and may lead to market-wide liquidity problems.

Our business has been impacted and will continue to be impacted by the above ~~factors, by among other things, the following:~~

In addition, pandemic related lockdowns in China throughout the first quarter of 2022 adversely impacted the operation of our office in Shanghai, in which the majority of our employees in our Asia Pacific region reside. While the city-wide lockdowns were lifted in the second quarter of 2022, localized lockdowns still remain.

factors. To date, our production, shipping and customer service functions have remained operational to maintain a continuous supply of products both to our customers and for our internal research and development activities. Any manufacturing supply interruption of materials could adversely affect our ability to conduct ongoing and future activities. We continue to closely monitor global supply issues around materials, parts and components, including plastics and integrated circuit chips, and we have not experienced any material supply issue to date.

The ultimate impact of ~~COVID-19 and unfavorable economic conditions~~the foregoing factors on our operations and financial performance in future periods remains uncertain and will depend on many factors outside of our control, including the timing, extent, trajectory, and duration of the pandemic as well as the magnitude of any potential recession and related government actions to prevent and manage these issues, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. While the overall impact of these matters is impossible to measure, they have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity and, ultimately our business and operations. Refer to Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the heading “Risk Factors” for more information.

Platform revenue decreased by $11.0 million, or 30%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we placed seventeen platforms, compared to thirty platforms placed during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

~~Recurring~~ revenue increased by $5.3 million, or 41%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $2.0 million in consumables revenue, a $3.0 million increase in extended warranty arrangements and an increase of $0.3 million in subscription arrangements.

~~Partnerships revenue increased by $4.3 million, or 34%,~~See below for details of our installed base. Note that the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared~~significant majority of our installed base relates to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Operating Expenses

Organizational and presentational changes

~~During~~Starting in the third quarter of 2022, we made certain changes to our operating structure to align with our new business strategy. These changes included reorganizing our go-to-market efforts, ~~the termination of approximately 12% of our workforce~~employee terminations and additional organizational changes (see also Note 12 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for ~~additional~~further information)~~, and additional organizational changes.~~.

As part of these changes, our “service center,” a team of scientists and engineers who perform services for both our internal and external projects, is now part of our platform sales and support organization. The service center historically reported to our former Chief Product Officer.

As a result of these changes, we ~~have updated our classification of operating~~now classify expenses ~~as follows:~~

~~1. Expenses related to the termination of employees during the third quarter discussed above are classified in “Restructuring” within Operating Expenses.~~

2. We now disclose “Selling, general and administrative” expenses which includes expenses historically reported in “Sales and marketing” as well as “General and administrative” expenses. We have reclassified the prior period to conform to the current period presentation for this change.

~~3. Expenses~~ associated with our service center ~~are no longer classified as “Research and development” expenses, and are instead classified~~ as “Selling, general and administrative” instead of “Research and development” expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations ~~as of~~starting in the third quarter of 2022.

Service center expenses recorded in “Research and development” during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $4.6 million. Service center expenses recorded in “Selling, general and administrative” during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023 were ~~$4.7~~$4.6 million. Service center expenses recorded in “Research and development” during the six months ended June 30, 2022, were $9.7 million. Service center expenses recorded in “Research and development” during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, were $3.8 million and $7.8 million, respectively.

The increase is primarily due to restructuring expenses incurred in connection with the termination of approximately 12% of our workforce during the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by cost reductions in research and development, which are partially attributable to the restructuring activities in the quarter.

~~Operating expenses increased by $16.6 million, or 18%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

This decrease reflects the impact of the ~~$4.7~~$4.6 million reclassification of the service center expenses discussed above. In addition, research and development expense decreased during the period due to the impact of ~~the 12%~~ workforce ~~reduction discussed above~~reductions and overall lowered spend due to our strategy to prioritize research and development return on investment through increased focus and rigor on development initiatives.

~~Research and development expense increased by $2.0 million, or 5%, for the~~ ~~nine~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~September 30, 2022, compared to the~~ ~~nine~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~September 30, 2021~~.

Components of results of operations

Revenue

Our revenue consists of i) platform, ii) recurring and~~partnerships~~ iii) partnership, license and other revenue. Platform revenue consists of the sale of ~~advanced automation systems~~Optofluidic and Proteomic platforms (including the Beacon, ~~Lightning~~Beacon Quest, IsoSpark and ~~Culture Station)~~IsoLight), associated software, fixed-term sales-type lease arrangements with qualified customers, as well as application support, installation and training. Recurring revenue includes, consumables and reagent kits, quarterly workflow subscriptions, annual or multi-year subscriptions arrangements (e.g. ~~TechAccess)~~Reagent Rental), and fixed fee extended warranty and service programs. ~~Partnerships~~Partnership, license and other revenue consists of strategic partnerships, as well as joint development and collaboration agreements where we provide services for the development of new workflows, cells or organism ~~types.~~types, revenue from licenses of intellectual property, and other revenue. See Note 56 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding how our product and service revenue is generated through our platform, recurring and partnerships, license and other revenue streams.

Cost of sales, gross profit and gross margin

Cost of sales. Cost of sales includes manufacturing related costs incurred in the production process, including personnel and related costs, costs of component materials, labor and overhead, packaging and delivery costs and allocated costs, including facilities and information technology. Also included in cost of sales are the personnel and related costs associated with our services, expenses related to the development of customized platforms and workflows, feasibility studies on our platforms and service and warranty costs to support our customers. We also include the costs associated with the standard assurance-type product warranty provided on our platforms, which are recorded at the time of sale.

Gross profit and gross margin. Gross profit is calculated as revenue less cost of sales. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Our gross profit in future periods will depend on a variety of factors, including: market conditions that may impact our pricing; sales mix among platform access options, including the regional mix of sales; sales mix changes among consumables, ~~advanced automation systems~~platforms and services; product mix changes between established products and new products; excess and obsolete inventories; our cost structure for manufacturing operations relative to volume; and product warranty obligations. ~~We expect cost of sales to increase in absolute dollars in future periods as our revenue grows.~~

Operating expenses

Research and development. Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, laboratory supplies, materials expenses and allocated facilities and IT costs for employees and contractors engaged in research and product development. We expense all research and development costs in the period in which they are incurred.

Selling, general and administrative. Our selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of costs related to the selling and marketing of our products and services and costs associated with our executive, finance, accounting, legal, human resources and administrative functions. These costs include salaries, benefits, sales commissions and stock-based compensation for our employees, as well as advertising and marketing costs and professional services fees, such as consulting, audit, tax and legal fees, general corporate costs and allocated overhead expenses. We expect these expenses to vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue.

Restructuring. Our restructuring expense primarily consists of one-time cash severance benefits associated with the termination of certain ~~employees during the third quarter of 2022~~employees. Restructuring expense can also include infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and contract cancellation costs. (see Note 1214 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information).

Other income (expense)

Interest expense. Interest expense consists primarily of interest related to borrowings under our debt obligations.

Interest income. Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term available-for-sale debt securities. We sold our short-term available for sale debt securities during March 2023.

Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net consists primarily of foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses relate to transactions and asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily related to our operations in the United Kingdom and China. We expect our foreign currency gains and losses to continue to fluctuate in the future due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, other income (expense) also included debt refinancing costs.

Provision for income taxes

Our provision for income taxes consists primarily of foreign taxes and state taxes in the United States. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and intends to do so until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. As we expand the scale and scope of our international business activities, any changes in taxation of such activities may increase our overall provision for income taxes in the future.

Liquidity and capital resources

As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we had approximately ~~$134.7~~$51.6 million in cash, ~~and~~ cash equivalents and marketable securities which were primarily held in U.S. short-term bank deposit accounts and ~~other investment grade short-term available-for-sale debt securities.~~money market funds. Restricted cash of $70.1 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2023 relates to a letter of ~~$0.3 million served as collateral for our corporate~~ credit ~~card program. This amount is no longer restricted as of September 30, 2022.~~ with an international customer. We have generated negative cash flows from operations since inception through ~~September 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

We expect to incur additional operating losses in the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in the research and development of our product offerings, commercialize and launch platforms, and expand into new markets. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our revenue growth rate, research and development efforts, the timing and extent of additional capital expenditures to invest in existing and new facilities as well as our manufacturing operations, the expansion of sales and marketing and the introduction of new products. Our future capital needs may also depend upon ~~the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other~~ factors affecting the macroeconomic environment. We have ~~and may~~implemented measures to reduce our costs to extend our cash runway, including conducting reductions in force.

On March 21, 2023, we completed the IsoPlexis Merger. In the future we may enter into additional arrangements to acquire or invest in businesses, services and technologies, and any such acquisitions or investments could significantly increase our capital needs.

33As discussed in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, certain factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance of such financial statements. Management’s intent is to implement plans that will allow us to continue as a going concern. We intend to improve operating cash flow by increasing our revenue and lowering our operational costs. New commercial leadership, geographic expansion, and a refined product roadmap are expected to drive revenue growth, and significant cost synergies as a result of the IsoPlexis Merger and are expected to lower operating expenses. Cost synergies are expected to be accomplished by eliminating duplicative costs associated with maintaining the infrastructure needed by public companies, complementary R&D capabilities, marketing resources and sales operations, and manufacturing, supply chain, logistics and operations synergies. In addition, we are evaluating financing options including the potential to raise equity and debt financing. While management is focused on these efforts, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.

Based on our current business plan, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next 12 months.

Sources of liquidity

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily from the issuance and sale of our equity securities, borrowings under long-term debt agreements, and to a lesser extent, cash generated by product and service sales. In July 2020, we completed our IPO, resulting in the receipt of aggregate proceeds of $187.9 million, net of offering costs, underwriter discounts and commissions of $17.0 million.

East West Bank Loan and Security Agreement

On May 23, 2018, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with East West Bank (“EWB”) ~~providing us the ability~~ to ~~borrow up to~~ ~~$20.0 million.~~provide a $20.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan”). The loan facility was fully drawn as of May 23, 2018.

On June 30, 2021, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement ~~(the “Agreement”~~(“Amended Loan Agreement”) with EWB. Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, EWB provided a ~~$20.0~~$20.0 million term loan ~~(the “Term~~(“Amended Term Loan”) which was used to refinance the ~~term loan~~Term Loan outstanding under the Loan ~~and Security~~ Agreement dated May 23, 2018. The Amended Term Loan ~~matures~~had a maturity of 48 months and a fixed interest rate of 4.17%. In addition, the Amended Term Loan had an initial interest-only period of 24 months, which could have been extended up to two times, each by an additional six months, if certain EBITDA tests as set forth in 48the Amended Loan Agreement are satisfied.

On March 21, 2023, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (“Second Amended Loan Agreement”) with EWB. Pursuant to the Second Amended Loan Agreement, EWB increased the existing Amended Term Loan amount of $20.0 million by $50.0 million to an aggregate outstanding principal of $70.0 million (“Second Amended Term Loan”). We used the proceeds from the Second Amended Term Loan to repay $52.5 million of indebtedness (including prepayment premium and interest) with Perceptive held by IsoPlexis (“Perceptive Credit Agreement”). Associated with these transactions, a $0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt was recorded in Other expense, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Second Amended Term Loan has a maturity of 60 months and bears interest at a ~~fixed~~variable rate per annum equal to (i) the greater of 6.25% or the variable rate of ~~4.17%~~interest, per annum, most recently announced by EWB as its prime rate, plus (ii) one-half of one percent (0.5%). ~~The~~ In addition, the Second Amended Term Loan has an initial interest-only period of 24 months, which can be extended to up to 36two times, each by an additional six months, ~~based on~~if certain EBITDA tests as set forth in the ~~achievement~~Second Amended Loan Agreement are satisfied. The Second Amended Term loan carries a prepayment penalty equal to one percent (1%) of ~~certain liquidity measures,~~the amount of any prepayment of the outstanding balance, if the prepayment is made before the first anniversary of the loan closing date. The Second Amended Loan Agreement was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and ~~can be pre-paid without penalty at any time.~~we capitalized incremental debt issuance costs.

The Second Amended Term Loan is guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, together with the Company, the “Credit Parties”). The Second Amended Loan Agreement grants EWB a security interest in and liens on substantially all assets of ~~our assets,~~the Company and the other Credit Parties, excluding intellectual property, ~~which is subject~~provided, that if we do not satisfy a liquidity test set forth in Second Amended Loan Agreement, the Credit Parties will be required to grant a ~~double negative pledge.~~first-priority security interest in their intellectual property. In addition, certain other terms of the original agreements as previously in effect were amended by the Second Amended Loan Agreement, including certain financial covenants. ~~The Amended~~For example, we must maintain cash and ~~Restated Loan~~cash equivalents of no less than $70.0 million in the aggregate at all times in a deposit account with EWB that is assigned to EWB, which was recorded as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As a result, the deposit of $70.0 million was recorded as restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, if our cash and ~~Security Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification and~~cash equivalents balance at EWB falls below $100.0 million, we ~~capitalized incremental debt issuance costs.~~are then required to maintain specific minimum EBITDA amounts at all times thereafter.

Net cash provided by financing activities was ~~$1.6~~$49.0 million during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2022, compared~~March 31, 2023 and was primarily related to ~~$13.0~~$48.8 million ~~for~~in proceeds from the ~~nine months ended~~ ~~September 30, 2021~~. issuance of long-term debt, net of issuance costs as a result of refinancing our term loan with EWB.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 million during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2021~~ primarily related to proceeds received from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options as well as proceeds received related to the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

Concentration of credit risk

Most of ~~the Company’s~~our customers are located in the United States and Asia Pacific. For the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022, two~~March 31, 2023 and, three customers accounted for ~~26% and 10% of revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, one customer accounted for 19% of revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, four customers accounted for 16%, 15%~~39%, 10% and 10% of revenue. For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, three customers accounted for ~~21%~~18%, ~~15%~~13%, and 10% of revenue.

Contractual obligations and commitments

~~There have been no material changes~~The following table summarizes our commitments to ~~our~~settle contractual obligations as of ~~September~~March 31, 2023:


	Payments due by period
(in thousands)	Total		Less than 1 year		1 - 3 years		3 -5 years		More than 5 years

To the extent components are purchased by the contract manufacturer on our behalf and cannot be used by the contract manufacturer’s other customers, we are obligated to ~~$38.4 million as of September 30. 2022.~~purchase such components.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We do not have, and did not have during the periods presented, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, with the exception of the following ~~exceptions.~~critical accounting policies and estimates related to the IsoPlexis Merger.

~~Stock-Based Compensation~~Goodwill and Intangible Assets

~~We maintain an incentive compensation plan under which stock options and restricted stock units (“RSU”) are granted to employees, non-employee consultants and directors.~~

~~Stock-based compensation expense is calculated based on~~Goodwill represents the ~~grant date~~excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of ~~the award. We determine the~~assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Intangible assets are measured at their respective fair ~~value of RSUs based on the closing price of our common stock~~values as ~~reported by Nasdaq on the date~~ of the ~~grant.~~

~~We estimate~~Acquisition Date and may be subject to adjustment within the ~~fair value of the majority of stock option awards on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For option awards that include a goal tied~~measurement period, which may be up to ~~the Company share price (i.e. a market condition) we use a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value.~~

The fair value of stock options and RSUs with only a service condition is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in which the awards are expected to vest and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

For performance stock options and RSUs not initially assessed as probable of achievement, we record a cumulative adjustment to compensation expense in the period we change our determination that a performance condition becomes probable of being achieved. We cease recognition of compensation expense in any periodsone

3642

~~where~~year from the Acquisition Date. We do not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the assets are impaired. Such triggering events potentially warranting an annual or interim goodwill impairment assessment include, among other factors, declines in historical or projected revenue, operating income or cash flows, and sustained decreases in our stock price or market capitalization. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we ~~determine the attainment~~experienced a decline in our market capitalization as a result of a ~~performance condition is no longer probable.~~sustained decrease in our stock price. Although we only recently acquired goodwill, as we operate as a single reporting unit, this sustained decrease was considered to represent a triggering event requiring management to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2023. Refer to Note 8, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for further information.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Should there be an indication of impairment, we test for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. If the ~~performance goals are~~asset or asset group is determined to be ~~improbable,~~impaired, any ~~previously recognized compensation expense is reversed.~~

~~The~~excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value ~~of stock options with a market condition~~ is recognized ~~over the requisite service period for each tranche of the award and is recognized regardless of whether (or to what extent) the market condition is ultimately achieved.~~as an impairment loss.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

~~Interest rate risk~~

~~Customer financing exposure.~~ ~~We are indirectly exposed~~Not applicable to ~~interest rate risk because many~~a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of ~~our customers depend on debt financings to purchase our platforms and systems. An increase in interest rates could make it challenging for our customers to obtain~~ the capital necessary to make such purchases on favorable terms, or at all. Such factors could reduce demand or lower the price we can charge for our platforms and systems, thereby reducing our net sales and gross profit.

~~Bank deposit, money market and marketable securities exposure.~~ As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable debt securities, of $134.7 million, which consisted primarily of money market funds, bank deposits and debt instruments of high quality corporate issuers and the U.S. government. The primary objective of our investments is facilitating liquidity and capital preservation. None of our investments are held for trading purposes. These short-term investments generate interest income at rates typically between 1% and 4%. A hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would have no material effect on our interest income and financial results.

~~Foreign currency risk~~

Through September 30, 2022, we did not generate any revenue denominated in foreign currencies. While we incur certain expenses in foreign currencies, especially related to our foreign offices, the impact of changes in exchange rates has been immaterial as of September 30, 2022 for these expenses. As we expand our presence in international markets, to the extent we are required to enter into agreements denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, our results of operations and cash flows may increasingly be subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. 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 manage our risk relating to fluctuations in currency rates.Exchange Act.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our ~~principal executive officer~~Principal Executive Officer and ~~principal financial officer,~~Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ~~(the “Exchange~~(“Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

~~We also carried out an evaluation, under~~On March 21, 2023, we completed the ~~supervision~~IsoPlexis Merger. This resulted in us implementing new processes and internal controls to assist us in the preparation and disclosure of financial information associated with the ~~participation~~transaction. Given the magnitude of ~~management, including~~the IsoPlexis Merger and the complexity of the applicable systems and business processes, we have excluded IsoPlexis from our ~~principal executive officer~~assessment and ~~principal financial officer, of our “internal control over financial reporting” to determine whether any changes in our~~report on internal control over financial reporting ~~occurred~~(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act), during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there were no such changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022.most recently completed fiscal quarter.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems’ objectives are being met. Further, the design of any system of controls must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of all controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of error or mistake. Control systems can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

See Note 1517 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for legal proceedings and related matters.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Factors that could cause or contribute to differences in our future financial and operating results include those discussed in the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report ~~and below in this Quarterly Report:~~

~~Our revenue under our customer sales engagements, program and service agreements and strategic partnerships and services for any particular period can be difficult to forecast.~~

~~Because of~~on Form 10-K filed with the ~~complexities and long sales cycles inherent~~SEC on February 23, 2023. The risks described in our ~~business, including, in particular, certain customer feasibility study agreements~~Form 10-K and collaboration and development agreements, it is difficult to predict the timing of a customer’s purchase of our system and the performance and completion of milestones under our customer and collaboration agreements. As a result, our revenue for any particular period can be difficult to forecast, especially in light of the challenging and inconsistent global macroeconomic environment and related market uncertainty. Our revenue may grow at a slower rate than in past periods or even decline on a year-over-year basis. For example, in the third quarter of 2022, our active collaboration agreement with Ginkgo wound down prior to the anticipated contract end date, as the negotiations regarding potential changes to such agreement failed. In some cases, the timing and likelihood of payments to us under agreements with customers is dependent on our customers’ successful utilization of our products and workflows, which is outside of our control. In the near term, we expect revenue from our strategic partnerships and services engagements to decline; more generally, our operating results could vary materially from quarter to quarter from our forecasts due to the foregoing uncertainties.

~~We may face risks in connection with past, existing and future collaborations with respect to the development, manufacture and commercialization of our products and workflows.~~

We face a number of risks in connection with our past, current and future collaborations and partnerships. Our partnerships and collaboration agreements are subject to termination under various circumstances. For example, in the third quarter of 2022, our active collaboration agreement with Ginkgo wound down prior to the anticipated contract end date, as negotiations regarding potential changes to such agreement failed. Our partners and collaborators may change the focus of their development efforts or may have insufficient resources to effectively assist in the development of our products or workflows. Any future partnerships or collaboration agreements may have the effect of limiting the areas of research and development that we may pursue, either alone or in collaboration with third parties. Further, disagreements with partners or collaborators might cause delays, might result in litigation or arbitration, or might result in termination of the research, development or commercialization of our products and workflows. Any such disagreements would divert management attention and resources and be time-consuming and costly.

Misconduct, non-compliance with laws, regulations, contractual arrangements and internal policies and unauthorized actions taken purportedly on our behalf by our employees, consultants, distributors, commercial partners, agents and vendors or other third-parties exposes us to risk.

We are exposed to the risk of fraud, misconduct or unauthorized conduct by our employees, consultants, distributors, commercial partners, agents and vendors or other third-parties. Misconduct or fraudulent acts by these parties could include intentional failures to comply with the applicable laws and regulations in the United States and abroad, including but not limited to reporting financial information or data accurately or disclosing unauthorized activities to us. Such fraudulent acts or misconduct could result in legal or regulatory sanctions and

cause serious harm to our reputation, as well as impact our ongoing business relationships. Unauthorized conduct could include intentional or unintentional failures by these parties to comply with contractual terms, policies, procedures and internal controls. The result of such unauthorized conduct could be difficult and costly to unwind or otherwise address. It is not always possible and we are not always able to identify and deter such fraud, misconduct or unauthorized conduct by such parties, and other precautions we take to detect and prevent such activities are not always effective in controlling risks or losses, or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws, regulations, contractual arrangements, policies, procedures or controls. If any actions are instituted against us for such fraud, misconduct or unauthorized conduct, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, such actions could result in the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, which could have a significant impact on our business. Whether or not we are successful in defending against such actions or investigations, we could incur substantial costs, including legal fees and divert the attention of management in defending ourselves against any of these claims or investigations.

~~The risk factors included in our Annual Report and in~~ this ~~Quarterly~~ Report are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we do not currently consider significant may also have an adverse effect on the Company. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could suffer.

~~Except~~Our negative cash flows and current lack of financial resources raise substantial doubt as ~~provided above, there~~to our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to raise additional funding to meet our operational needs, we may be forced to limit or cease our operations and/or liquidate our assets.

Although our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming our company will continue as a going concern, our negative cash flows and current lack of financial resources raise substantial doubt as to our ability to satisfy our obligations as they become due within one year from the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a consolidated net loss of $23.4 million and had an accumulated deficit of $385.1 million as of March 31, 2023. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $51.6 million as of March 31, 2023. We expect to incur additional operating losses in the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in the research and development of our product offerings, commercialize and launch platforms, and expand into new markets. Although we intend to improve operating cash flow by increasing our revenue and lowering our operational costs, we may not succeed in driving revenue growth, including through new commercial leadership, geographic expansion or a refined product roadmap, or in lowering operating expenses, including through the cost synergies expected as a result of the IsoPlexis Merger by eliminating duplicative costs associated with maintaining the infrastructure needed by public companies, complementary R&D capabilities, marketing resources and sales operations, and manufacturing, supply chain, logistics and operations synergies. If at any time in the future we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may be forced to seek protection from our creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, discontinue operations, and liquidate our assets, and we may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our unaudited interim financial statements. Any of these outcomes could cause our stockholders to lose some or all of their investment.

Even if we are able to raise significant additional capital necessary to continue our operations over the next year, if we are unable to obtain additional adequate financing on terms satisfactory to us, or at all, when we require it, our ability to continue to pursue our business objectives, develop our technology and products, and respond to business opportunities, challenges, unforeseen circumstances or developments could be significantly limited, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

The failure to successfully integrate the businesses and operations of Berkeley Lights and IsoPlexis in the expected time frame may adversely affect the combined company’s future results.

On March 21, 2023, we completed the IsoPlexis Merger, and the newly combined company was renamed PhenomeX. The future success of the IsoPlexis Merger, including its anticipated benefits, depends, in part, on our ability to optimize our combined operations, which is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. There can be no ~~material changes~~assurances that the businesses can be integrated successfully. It is possible that the integration process could

result in the loss of key employees, the loss of customers, the disruption of ongoing businesses, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, unexpected integration issues, higher than expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated. Specifically, the following issues, among others, must be addressed in integrating the operations of Berkeley Lights and IsoPlexis in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger so the combined company performs as expected:

•combining the companies’ operations and corporate functions;

•combining the companies’ businesses and meeting the capital requirements of the combined company, in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve any cost savings or other synergies anticipated to result from the merger, the failure of which would result in the anticipated benefits of the merger not being realized in the time frame currently anticipated or at all;

•integrating personnel from the two companies;

•integrating the companies’ technologies;

•integrating and unifying the offerings and services available to customers;

•identifying and eliminating redundant and underperforming functions and assets;

•harmonizing the companies’ operating practices, employee development and compensation programs, internal controls and other policies, procedures and processes;

•maintaining existing agreements with customers, suppliers, distributors and vendors and avoiding delays in entering into new agreements with prospective customers, suppliers, distributors and vendors;

•addressing possible differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies;

•consolidating the companies’ administrative and information technology infrastructure;

•coordinating distribution and marketing efforts;

•managing the movement of certain positions to different locations;

•coordinating geographically dispersed organizations; and

•effecting actions that may be required in connection with obtaining regulatory approvals.

In addition, at times the attention of certain members of management and resources may be focused on the integration of the businesses of the two companies and diverted from day-to-day business operations or other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us, which may disrupt the business of the combined company.

If our goodwill or intangible assets become impaired, we may be required to record a significant charges against earnings.

We have recorded goodwill related to the ~~risk factors set forth~~closing of the IsoPlexis Merger, and a significant portion of the purchase price of any companies we acquire in the ~~Annual Report.~~future may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we review our intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of our goodwill and other intangible assets may not be recoverable. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the assets are impaired. Such triggering events potentially warranting an annual or interim goodwill impairment assessment include, among other factors, declines in historical or projected revenue, operating income or cash flows, and sustained decreases in our stock price or market capitalization. If our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, our stock price declines or any other adverse change in market conditions occurs, a change to the estimation of fair value could result.

4146

For example, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we experienced a decline in our market capitalization as a result of a sustained decrease in our stock price. Although we only recently acquired goodwill, as we operate as a single reporting unit, this sustained decrease was considered to represent a triggering event requiring management to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2023. While we ultimately did not record a goodwill impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2023, any further adverse changes in our business environment, stock price, market capitalization and future cash flow projections could result in additional impairment charges to our intangible assets or goodwill, particularly if such change impacts any of our critical assumptions or estimates, and may have a negative impact on our financial position and operating results.

Unfavorable global economic conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Events or factors such as a severe or prolonged economic downturn, or additional global financial crises, whether related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or not, or macroeconomic issues caused by events such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, inflation, rising interest rates, availability of capital markets, concerns about the stability and liquidity of certain financial institutions, energy availability and costs or governmental initiatives to manage economic conditions, could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our platforms and our workflows, systems and instruments, or our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy could also strain our suppliers, possibly resulting in supply disruption.

Adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties, or other third parties, or concerns or rumors about these events, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver. Similarly, other institutions have been and may continue to be swept into receivership. Given that our balance in our deposit account with SVB does not exceed the FDIC-insured limit of $250,000, we have not yet experienced an adverse impact to our liquidity or to our business operations, financial condition, or results of operations as a result of these recent events. However, there is no guarantee that the federal government would guarantee all depositors as they did with SVB depositors in the event of further bank closures. Uncertainty may remain over liquidity concerns in the broader financial services industry, and there may be unpredictable impacts to our business and our industry.

We cannot predict changes in worldwide or regional economic conditions and government policies, as such conditions are highly volatile and beyond our control. If these conditions deteriorate for extended periods, however, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Market conditions and changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could impair our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments and to timely pay employees, key vendors and others. For example, on March 10, 2023, SVB was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the FDIC as receiver, which resulted in all funds held at SVB being temporarily inaccessible by SVB’s customers. If other banks and financial institutions with whom we have banking relationships enter receivership or become insolvent in the future due to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents and investments, including transferring funds, making payments or receiving funds, may be threatened and could have a material adverse

effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, in such circumstances we might not be able to timely pay employees, key vendors and others. We regularly maintain cash balances that are not insured or are in excess of the FDIC’s current insurance limit. For example, the Second Amended Loan Agreement with EWB requires us to maintain $70.0 million of cash in a deposit account with EWB that is assigned to EWB. Any delay in our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents and investments (or the loss of some or all of such funds) or to timely pay employees, key vendors and others could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Sale of Unregistered Securities

There were no unregistered sales of the Company's equity securities during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022.~~

~~Use of Proceeds from our IPO~~

On July 21, 2020, we closed our IPO, in which we issued and sold 9,315,000 shares of our common stock, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a public offering price of $22.00 per share for aggregate offering proceeds of $204.9 million. All of the shares of common stock issued and sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-239487), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 16, 2020.

Cash used since the IPO is described elsewhere in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our periodic reports filed with the SEC. As of the date of this filing, there has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in the final prospectus for our IPO dated July 16, 2020 filed with the SEC on July 17, 2020.March 31, 2023.
