Organization and operations
Organization and operations	Quanterix Corporation Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (Unaudited) 1. Organization and operations Quanterix Corporation (Nasdaq: QTRX) (the Company) is a life sciences company that has developed next generation, ultra-sensitive digital immunoassay platforms that advance precision health for life sciences research and diagnostics. The Company's platforms are based on its proprietary digital "Simoa" detection technology. The Company's Simoa bead-based and planar array platforms enable customers to reliably detect protein biomarkers in extremely low concentrations in blood, serum and other fluids that, in many cases, are undetectable using conventional, analog immunoassay technologies, and also allow researchers to define and validate the function of novel protein biomarkers that are only present in very low concentrations and have been discovered using technologies such as mass spectrometry. These capabilities provide the Company's customers with insight into the role of protein biomarkers in human health that has not been possible with other existing technologies and enable researchers to unlock unique insights into the continuum between health and disease. The Company is currently focusing on protein detection, which it believes is an area of significant unmet need and where it has significant competitive advantages. However, in addition to enabling new applications and insights in protein analysis, the Company’s Simoa platforms have also demonstrated applicability across other testing applications, including detection of nucleic acids and small molecules. The Company launched its first immunoassay platform, the Simoa HD-1, in 2014. The HD-1 is a fully automated immunoassay bead-based platform with multiplexing and custom assay capability, and related assay test kits and consumable materials. The Company launched a second bead-based immunoassay platform (SR-X) in the fourth quarter of 2017 with a more compact footprint than the Simoa HD-1 and less automation designed for lower volume requirements while still allowing multiplexing and custom assay capability. The Company initiated an early-access program for its third instrument (SP-X) on the new Simoa planar array platform in January 2019, with the full commercial launch commencing in April 2019. In July 2019, the Company launched the Simoa HD-X, an upgraded version of the Simoa HD-1 which replaces the HD-1. The HD-X has been designed to deliver significant productivity and operational efficiency improvements, as well as greater user flexibility. The Company began shipping and installing HD-X instruments at customer locations in the third quarter of 2019, ahead of its original fourth quarter expectation. The Company also performs research services on behalf of customers to apply the Simoa technology to specific customer needs. The Company's customers are primarily in the research use only market, which includes academic and governmental research institutions, the research and development laboratories of pharmaceutical manufacturers, contract research organizations, and specialty research laboratories. The Company acquired Aushon Biosystems, Inc. (Aushon) in January 2018. With the acquisition of Aushon, the Company acquired a CLIA certified laboratory, as well as Aushon's proprietary sensitive planar array detection technology. Leveraging its proprietary sophisticated Simoa image analysis and data analysis algorithms, the Company further refined this planar array technology to develop the SP-X instrument to provide the same Simoa sensitivity found in its bead-based platform. The Company completed the acquisition of UmanDiagnostics AB (Uman), a Swedish company located in Umea, Sweden, in August 2019. The acquisition closed with respect to 95% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Uman on July 1, 2019 and with respect to the remaining 5% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Uman on August 1, 2019. Uman supplies neurofilament light (Nf-L) antibodies and ELISA kits, which are widely recognized by researchers and biopharmaceutical and diagnostics companies world-wide as the premier solution for the detection of Nf-L to advance the development of therapeutics and diagnostics for neurodegenerative conditions. With the acquisition of Uman, the Company has secured a long-term source of supply for a critical technology. “At-the-market offering” On March 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the Sales Agreement) with Cowen and Company, LLC (Cowen) with respect to an “at-the-market” offering program under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million through Cowen as its sales agent. On June 5, 2019, the Company issued approximately 2.2 million shares of common stock at an average stock price of $22.73 per share pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement. The “at-the-market” offering resulted in gross proceeds of $49.7 million. The Company incurred $1.7 million in issuance costs associated with the “at-the-market” offering, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $48.0 million. Underwritten public offering On August 8, 2019, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and SVB Leerink LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters, relating to an underwritten public offering of approximately 2.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The underwritten public offering resulted in gross proceeds of $69.0 million. The Company incurred $4.5 million in issuance costs associated with the underwritten public offering, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $64.5 million. Basis of presentation The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for each period presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2020 (the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K). The consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited 2019 consolidated financial statements included in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Significant accounting policies	2. Significant accounting policies Principles of consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of Quanterix Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. In making those estimates and assumptions, the Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. The Company’s significant estimates included in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are related to revenue recognition, fair value of equity instruments and notes receivable, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Foreign currency Income taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded if, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes Business combinations Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company generally recognizes the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The fair values assigned, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants, are based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. The excess consideration over the aggregate value of tangible and intangible assets, net of liabilities assumed, is recorded as goodwill. These valuations require significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The Company typically uses the discounted cash flow method to value acquired intangible assets. This method requires significant management judgment to forecast future operating results and establish residual growth rates and discount factors. The estimates used to value and amortize intangible assets are consistent with the plans and estimates that are used to manage the business and are based on available historical information and industry estimates and averages. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop these values, the Company could experience impairment charges. In addition, the Company has estimated the economic lives of certain acquired assets and these lives are used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. If estimates of the economic lives change, depreciation or amortization expenses could be accelerated or slowed. Restricted cash Restricted cash primarily represents collateral for a letter of credit issued as security for the lease for the Company’s headquarters in Billerica, Massachusetts. The restricted cash is long term in nature as the Company will not have access to the funds until more than one year from June 30, 2020. Recent accounting pronouncements The Company is considered to be an “emerging growth company” (EGC) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (JOBS Act). The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company may remain an EGC until the last day of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the closing of the initial public offering occurs, although if the market value the Company’s common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time or if we have annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more in any fiscal year, we would cease to be an EGC as of December 31 of the applicable year. We also would cease to be an EGC if we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. The Company has elected to avail itself of this extended transition period and, as a result, the Company will not be required to adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies so long as the Company remains an EGC. Recently Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established Topic 842, Leases Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases Targeted Improvements On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), The Company elected the following practical expedients for all lease asset classes, which must be elected as a package and applied consistently to all of its leases at the transition date: i) the Company did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; ii) the Company did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (that is, all existing leases that were classified as operating leases in accordance with ASC 840, Leases At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities, as applicable. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to recognize leases on the balance sheet with a term of twelve months or less. The Company’s leases consist of office and lab space and office equipment. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating, and options to renew a lease are only included in the lease term to the extent those options are reasonably certain to be exercised. Additionally, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient not to separate lease and nonlease components for all leases. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. The rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable and, as a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. To estimate its incremental borrowing rate, a credit rating applicable to the Company is estimated using a synthetic credit rating analysis since the Company does not currently have a rating agency-based credit rating. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of $12.2 million and $22.8 million, respectively, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, with the difference between the ROU asset and lease liability primarily attributable to unamortized lease incentives and deferred rent related to its lease for its corporate headquarters at 900 Middlesex Turnpike in Billerica, Massachusetts (the “900 Middlesex Turnpike Lease”).

Revenue recognition
Revenue recognition	3. Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of a promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods and services, incentives and taxes collected from customers, that are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Customers The Company’s customers primarily consist of entities engaged in the life sciences research market that pursue the discovery and development of new drugs for a variety of neurologic, cardiovascular, oncologic and other protein biomarkers associated with diseases. The Company’s customer base includes several of the largest biopharmaceutical companies, academic research organizations and distributors who serve certain geographic markets. Product revenue The Company’s products are composed of analyzer instruments, assay kits and other consumables such as reagents. Products are sold directly to biopharmaceutical and academic research organizations or are sold through distributors in EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. The sales of instruments are generally accompanied by an initial year of implied service-type warranties and may be bundled with assays and other consumables and may also include other items such as training and installation of the instrument and/or an extended service warranty. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized at a point in time when the Company transfers control of the product to the customer, which is upon installation for instruments sold to direct customers, and based upon shipping terms for assay kits and other consumables. Revenue for instruments sold to distributors is generally recognized based upon shipping terms (either upon shipment or delivery). Service and other revenue Service revenues are composed of contract research services, initial implied one-year service-type warranties, extended services contracts and other services such as training. Contract research services are provided through the Company’s Accelerator Laboratory and generally consist of fixed fee contracts. Revenues from contract research services are recognized at a point in time when the Company completes and delivers its research report on each individually completed study, or over time if the contractual provisions allow for the collection of transaction consideration for costs incurred plus a reasonable margin through the period of performance of the services. Revenues from service-type warranties are recognized ratably over the contract service period. Revenues from other services are immaterial. Collaboration and license revenue The Company may enter into agreements to license the intellectual property and know-how associated with its instruments in exchange for license fees and future royalties (as described below). The license agreements provide the licensee with a right to use the intellectual property with the license fee revenues recognized at a point in time as the underlying license is considered functional intellectual property. The Company recognized revenues from a sales- or usage- based royalties related to the licensing of the Company’s technology and intellectual property. Payment terms The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of customer and the products or services offered. Payment from customers is generally required in a term ranging from 30 Disaggregated revenue When disaggregating revenue, the Company considered all of the economic factors that may affect its revenues.

The Company combines any performance obligations that are immaterial with one or more other performance obligations that are material to the contract. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract transaction price, including discounts, to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on prices charged to customers in observable transactions, and uses a range of amounts to estimate standalone selling prices for each performance obligation. The Company may have more than one range of standalone selling price for certain products and services based on the pricing for different customer classes. Variable consideration in the Company’s contracts primarily relates to (i) sales- and usage-based royalties related to the license of intellectual property in collaboration and license contracts and (ii) certain non-fixed fee research services contracts. ASC 606 provides for an exception to estimating the variable consideration for sales- and usage-based royalties related to the license of intellectual property, such that the sales- and usage-based royalty will be recognized in the period the underlying transaction occurs. The Company has recorded sales- and usage-based royalty revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 related to the intellectual property licensed by the Company. The Company recognizes revenue from sales- and usage-based royalty revenue at the later of when the sale or usage occurs and the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated. The aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied or are partially satisfied as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 is $5.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, of the performance obligations not yet satisfied or partially satisfied, $5.0 million is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, with the remainder amounts million related to undelivered licenses of intellectual property for a diagnostics company (see Note 13). Changes in deferred revenue from contracts with customers were as follows (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 5,163 Deferral of revenue 2,594 Recognition of deferred revenue (2,354) Balance at June 30, 2020 $ 5,403 Costs to obtain a contract The Company’s sales commissions are generally based on revenues of the Company. The Company has determined that certain commissions paid under its sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized as they are incremental and would not have occurred absent a customer contract. The change in the balance of costs to obtain a contract are as follows (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 335 Deferral of costs to obtain a contract 230 Recognition of costs to obtain a contract (303) Balance at June 30, 2020 $ 262 The Company has classified the balance of capitalized costs to obtain a contract as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets and classifies the expense as a component of cost of goods sold and selling, general, and administrative expense over the estimated life of the contract. The Company considers potential impairment in these amounts each period. ASC 606 provides entities with certain practical expedients and accounting policy elections to minimize the cost and burden of adoption. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed. The Company will exclude from its transaction price any amounts collected from customers related to sales and other similar taxes. When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. The Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has elected to account for the shipping and handling as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the product, and therefore will not evaluate whether shipping and handling activities are promised services to its customers.

Net loss per share
Net loss per share	4. Net loss per share Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, unvested restricted common stock, restricted stock units, stock options, and warrants are considered to be potentially dilutive securities, but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive and therefore basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for all periods presented. The following table sets forth the outstanding potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive (in common stock equivalent shares): June 30, 2020 2019 Unvested restricted common stock and restricted stock units 479,996 436,985 Outstanding stock options 2,744,441 2,640,072 Outstanding warrants 10,000 76,041 Total 3,234,437 3,153,098 As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had an obligation to issue warrants to purchase an additional 93,341 shares of common stock to a vendor if a contract is terminated prior to a minimum purchase commitment being met. No amounts are presented in the table above for this obligation to issue a warrant as the issuance of the warrant is not considered probable.

Fair value of financial instruments	5. Fair value of financial instruments ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between the following: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Investments	7. Investments During the third quarter of 2016, the Company purchased a minority interest in preferred stock in a privately held company for $0.3 million. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company was issued a convertible note by a privately held company having a principal amount of $0.2 million. The preferred stock investment is recorded on a cost basis in other non-current assets on the accompanying balance sheets as the Company does not have a controlling interest, does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the privately held company, and the fair value of the equity investment is not readily determinable. The Company performs an impairment analysis at each reporting period to determine if there is any readily available fair value information that would indicate an impairment. The Company has determined there was no impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2020 or in any prior period. The convertible note is held as an available-for-sale investment, which is carried at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses included in the determination of comprehensive income and reporting stockholders equity. Any gains or losses recognized by the Company related to the change in fair value of the convertible note were deemed immaterial. When determining the estimated fair value of the convertible notes, the Company used a commonly accepted valuation methodology. Equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method are measured at fair value, with any changes in fair value recognized in net income. For any such investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, the Company elects the measurement alternative to measure the investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

In connection with the completion of the Company’s initial public offering (IPO) in December 2017, the Company terminated the 2007 Plan. In December 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the 2017 Plan), under which it may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, and other stock-based awards. Upon its adoption, the 2017 Plan allowed for the issuance of up to 1,042,314 shares of common stock plus up to 2,490,290 shares of common stock represented by awards granted under the 2007 Plan that are forfeited, expire or are cancelled without delivery of shares or which result in the forfeiture of shares of common stock back to the Company on or after the date the 2017 Plan became effective. The 2017 Plan contains an “evergreen” provision, which allows for an annual increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2017 Plan on the first day of each fiscal year during the period beginning in fiscal year 2019 and ending in fiscal year 2027. The annual increase in the number of shares shall be equal to the lowest of: 4% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of such date; and an amount determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. The number of shares available for grant under the 2017 Plan increased by 1,126,172 on January 1, 2020 due to this provision. As of June 30, 2020, under the 2017 Plan, options to purchase 1,643,834 shares of common stock were outstanding and unvested restricted stock units for 479,996 shares of common stock were outstanding. As of June 30, 2020, 802,365 shares were available for grant under the 2017 Plan. In December 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2017 ESPP). The 2017 ESPP contains an “evergreen” provision, which allows for an increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2018. The increase in the number of shares shall be equal to the lowest of: 1% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year or an amount determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. The number of shares available for grant under the 2017 ESPP increased by 281,543 on January 1, 2020 due to this provision. As of June 30, 2020, 871,422 shares were available for issuance under the 2017 ESPP. Stock options Under the 2007 Plan and the 2017 Plan, stock options may not be granted with exercise prices of less than fair market value on the date of the grant. Options generally vest ratably over a four-year period with 25% vesting on the first anniversary and the remaining 75% vesting ratably on a monthly basis over the remaining three years. These options expire ten years after the grant date. Activity under the 2007 Plan and the 2017 Plan was as follows: Weighted-average Remaining contractual Aggregate intrinsic value Options exercise price life (in years) (in thousands) Outstanding at December 31, 2019 2,507,062 $ 14.41 7.58 $ 24,870 Granted 457,211 $ 27.09 Exercised (152,570) $ 7.28 Cancelled (67,262) $ 25.55 Outstanding at June 30, 2020 2,744,441 $ 16.65 7.60 $ 30,415 Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2020 2,744,441 $ 16.65 7.60 $ 30,415 Exercisable at June 30, 2020 1,479,484 $ 11.12 6.58 $ 24,264 Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted-average fair value of options granted to employees and directors during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $11.76 and $8.64 per share, respectively. The expense related to awards granted to employees was $1.3 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The expense related to awards granted to employees was $0.9 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $1.7 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $2.9 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Activity related to non-employee awards was not material to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Restricted stock Restricted common stock awards represent shares of common stock issued to employees subject to forfeiture if the vesting conditions are not satisfied. Vesting occurs periodically at specified time intervals and specified percentages. In January 2015, the Company issued 781,060 shares of restricted common stock to an executive of the Company under the 2007 Plan. The majority of these shares were issued subject to a four-year vesting schedule with 25% vesting on the first anniversary and the remaining vesting 75% ratably on a monthly basis over the remaining three years, while another portion was issued subject to performance based vesting. The vesting of performance based awards is dependent upon achievement of specified financial targets of the Company. The majority of the performance criteria were achieved during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the remaining unvested awards with performance conditions are not material. No restricted common stock awards were granted or vested during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had 39,806 shares of unvested restricted common stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of $3.12 per share. Restricted stock units Restricted stock units (RSUs) represent the right to receive shares of common stock upon meeting specified vesting requirements. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 224,792 RSUs to employees of the Company under the 2017 Plan. Under the terms of the agreements, 202,336 of the RSUs issued are subject to a four-year vesting schedule with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining vesting 75% ratably on a monthly basis over the remaining three years; 15,890 of the RSUs vest on December 31, 2020; 5,106 vested immediately upon grant; and 1,460 vested on May 31, 2020. A summary of RSU activity is as follows: Weighted-average grant date fair value Shares per share Unvested RSUs as of December 31, 2019 370,123 $ 20.48 Granted 224,792 $ 27.33 Vested (93,816) $ 27.26 Cancelled (21,103) $ 19.94 Unvested RSUs as of June 30, 2020 479,996 $ 23.41 The expense related to awards granted to employees and directors was $1.1 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The expense related to awards granted to employees and directors was $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2020, there was $10.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.9 years

Leases	10. Leases The Company is a lessee under leases of offices, lab spaces, and certain office equipment. Some of the Company’s leases include options to extend the lease, and these options are included in the lease term to the extent they are reasonably certain to be exercised. 900 Middlesex Turnpike Lease The Company’s primary lease is the 900 Middlesex Turnpike Lease. On October 2, 2018, the Company entered into a 137-month operating lease for the Company’s new headquarters in Billerica, Massachusetts. The lease is for approximately 92,000 square feet of office and laboratory space and commenced on April 1, 2019. The lease contains a period of free rent and escalating monthly rent payments. As part of the lease, the Company was required to enter into a $1.0 million Letter of Credit drawable by the lessor under specifically outlined conditions, which will be subsequently reduced throughout the lease term. Pursuant to a work letter entered into in connection with the 900 Middlesex Turnpike Lease, the landlord contributed an aggregate of $8.2 million toward the cost of construction and tenant improvements for the building. Under the lease the Company has the option to extend the lease for two successive five-year terms, and the renewal options are not reasonably certain to be exercised. In applying the ASC 842 transition guidance, the 900 Middlesex Turnpike Lease remained classified as an operating lease and the Company recorded ROU assets of $12.2 million and lease liability of $22.8 million on the effective date. The difference between the ROU and the lease liability was driven by the Company derecognizing deferred rent of $3.0 million and the lease obligation incentive of $7.6 million. The Company is recognizing rent expense on a straight-line basis throughout the remaining term of the leases. 48 Tvistevägen The Company has three leases at 48 Tvistevägen Umeå, Sweden for laboratory spaces, manufacturing spaces (Uman lease), and office space. All of these Uman leases have been assessed as operating leases. In applying the ASC 842 transition guidance, the Uman leases remained classified as operating leases and the Company recorded ROU assets of less than $0.1 million and lease liability of less than $0.1 million on the effective date. The Company is recognizing rent expense on a straight-line basis throughout the remaining term of the leases. Summary of all lease costs recognized under ASC 842 The following table contains a summary of the lease costs recognized under ASC 842 and other information pertaining to the Company’s operating leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020: Operating leases (in thousands) For the three months ended June 30, 2020 For the six months ended June 30, 2020 Lease Costs (1) Operating lease costs $ 667 $ 1,327 Total lease cost $ 667 $ 1,327 Other information Operating cash flows used for operating leases $ 407 832 Weighted average remaining lease term 10.1 years Weighted average discount rate 9.73% (1) Short-term lease costs and variable lease costs incurred by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were immaterial.

Tufts is a related party to the Company due to Tufts’ equity ownership in the Company and because a board member of the Company’s Board of Directors was affiliated with Tufts. The License Agreement, which was subsequently amended, is exclusive and sublicensable, and will continue in effect on a country-by-country basis as long as there is a valid claim of a licensed patent in a country. The Company is committed to pay license and maintenance fees, prior to commercialization, in addition to low single digit royalties on direct sales and services and a royalty on sublicense income. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded royalty expense of $0.2 million, $0.2 million, $0.4 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, in cost of product revenue on the consolidated statements of operations. Other licenses During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement for certain intellectual property with a third party. The non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license provides the Company access to certain patents specifically for protein detection, and shall be in effect until the expiration of the last licensed patent. In consideration for these rights, the Company committed to certain license fees, milestone payments, minimum annual royalties and a mid-single digit royalty. The Company is required to make mid-single digit royalty payments on net sales of products and services which utilize the licensed technology. In September 2019, all remaining patents related to the intellectual property expired and the license agreement terminated. As this agreement was terminated in 2019, the Company recorded no royalty expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and royalty expense of less than $0.1 million in cost of product revenue on the consolidated statements of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Development and supply agreement Through the Company’s development agreement with STRATEC Biomedical, as amended in December 2016, the parties agreed on additional development services for an additional fee, which is payable when the additional development is completed. A total of $11.7 million is payable to STRATEC upon completion of the development activities. This amount is being recorded to research and development expense and accrued expenses as the services are performed. The initial services were completed during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company began substantive additional development activities in the first quarter of 2019. These additional development activities were continued throughout the second of 2019 and completed in the third quarter of 2019. The Company’s supply agreement with STRATEC Biomedical requires the Company to purchase a minimum number of commercial units over a seven-year period ending in May 2021. If the Company were to fail to purchase a required number of commercial units, the Company would be obligated to pay termination costs plus a fee based on the shortfall of commercial units purchased compared to the required minimum amount. Based on the number of commercial instruments purchased as of June 30, 2020, the Company has satisfied its required minimum purchase amount per the supply agreement. Also, if the Company terminates the supply agreement under certain circumstances and has not purchased a required number of commercial units, it would be obligated to issue warrants to purchase 93,341 shares of common stock (the Supply Warrants) at $0.003214 per share. The Company believes that it will purchase sufficient units to meet the requirements of the minimum purchase commitment and, therefore, has not accrued for any of the potential cash consideration. The Supply Warrants are accounted for at fair value; however, the fair value of the Supply Warrants as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was insignificant as there was a low probability of the warrants being issued. Legal contingencies The Company is subject to claims in the ordinary course of business; however, the Company is not currently a party to any pending or threatened litigation, the outcome of which would be expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or the results of its operations. The Company accrues for contingent liabilities to the extent that the liability is probable and estimable.

Notes payable	12. Notes payable Loan agreement On April 14, 2014, the Company executed a Loan Agreement with a lender, as subsequently amended. As of June 30, 2020, there were no additional amounts available to borrow under the debt facility. The interest rate on this term loan is variable based on a calculation of the prime rate less 5.25% with a minimum interest rate of 8%. Interest is paid monthly beginning the month following the borrowing date. At loan inception and in connection with the amendments, the Company issued the lender warrants to purchase shares of stock. The Loan Agreement also contains prepayment penalties and an end of term charge. Fees incurred upon execution of the agreements, and the fair value of warrants on the date of grant were accounted for as a reduction in the book value of debt and accreted through interest expense, using the effective interest rate method, over the term of the debt. Amendment 5 to loan agreement In August 2018, the Company signed Amendment 5 to the Loan Agreement (Amendment 5). Amendment 5 instituted a 2018 End of Term Charge of $0.1 million. Additionally, the Term Loan Maturity Date extended until March 1, 2020. Amendment 5 additionally, changed the due date of the End of Term Charge to, the earlier of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date that Borrower prepays the outstanding Secured Obligations or (iii) the date that the Secured Obligations become due and payable. The Company incurred a cost of $0.05 million in relation to the execution of Amendment 5. In connection with the extension of the due date of the Loan, the deferral of principal payments (Amendment 3) was further deferred until the new Term Loan Maturity Date. On March 2, 2020, the Company paid $0.1 million in end of term fees related to Amendment 5 of the Loan Agreement. Amendment 6 to loan agreement In October 2018, the Company signed Amendment 6 to the Loan Agreement, which amended the Loan Agreement’s collateral clause to exclude the $1 million certificate of deposit associated with the lease on the Company’s new headquarters in Billerica, MA. Amendment 7 to loan agreement On April 15, 2019, the Company signed Amendment 7 to the Loan Agreement, which extends the interest only payment period through July 1, 2021 and also extends the maturity date until October 1, 2021. As part of this Amendment 7, a “2019 End of Term Charge” for $50,000 was added to the Loan Agreement due on the earliest to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date that the Company prepays the outstanding Secured Obligations and (iii) the date that the Secured Obligations become due and payable. In addition, the Company is required to pay the loan principal in five equal installments starting July 1, 2021 with the final principal payment to be made on October 1, 2021. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining loan balance is classified as a long term liability since all principal payments are due greater than twelve months after the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2020, debt payment obligations due based on principal payments are as follows (in thousands): Remainder 2020 $ — 2021 7,688 $ 7,688 Non-cash interest expense related to debt discount amortization and accretion of end of term fees was $ 0.1 million or less for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

The acquisition closed with respect to 95% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Uman on July 1, 2019 and with respect to the remaining 5% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Uman on August 1, 2019. Uman supplies Nf-L antibodies and ELISA kits, which are widely recognized by researchers and biopharmaceutical and diagnostics companies world-wide as the premier solution for the detection of Nf-L to advance the development of therapeutics and diagnostics for neurodegenerative conditions. With the acquisition of Uman, the Company has secured a long-term source of supply for a critical technology. This acquisition was considered a business acquisition for accounting purposes. The Company has accounted for the acquisition of Uman as a purchase of a business under U.S. GAAP. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Uman are recorded as of the acquisition date of July 1, 2019, generally at their respective fair values, and consolidated with those of the Company. Purchase consideration in excess of the amounts recognized for the net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and is not expected to be tax deductible in any taxing jurisdiction.

Principles of consolidation	Principles of consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of Quanterix Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. In making those estimates and assumptions, the Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. The Company’s significant estimates included in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are related to revenue recognition, fair value of equity instruments and notes receivable, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency	Foreign currency
Income taxes	Income taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded if, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes
Business combinations	Business combinations Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company generally recognizes the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The fair values assigned, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants, are based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. The excess consideration over the aggregate value of tangible and intangible assets, net of liabilities assumed, is recorded as goodwill. These valuations require significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The Company typically uses the discounted cash flow method to value acquired intangible assets. This method requires significant management judgment to forecast future operating results and establish residual growth rates and discount factors. The estimates used to value and amortize intangible assets are consistent with the plans and estimates that are used to manage the business and are based on available historical information and industry estimates and averages. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop these values, the Company could experience impairment charges. In addition, the Company has estimated the economic lives of certain acquired assets and these lives are used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. If estimates of the economic lives change, depreciation or amortization expenses could be accelerated or slowed.
Restricted Cash	Restricted cash Restricted cash primarily represents collateral for a letter of credit issued as security for the lease for the Company’s headquarters in Billerica, Massachusetts. The restricted cash is long term in nature as the Company will not have access to the funds until more than one year from June 30, 2020.
Recent accounting pronouncements	Recent accounting pronouncements The Company is considered to be an “emerging growth company” (EGC) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (JOBS Act). The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company may remain an EGC until the last day of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the closing of the initial public offering occurs, although if the market value the Company’s common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time or if we have annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more in any fiscal year, we would cease to be an EGC as of December 31 of the applicable year. We also would cease to be an EGC if we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. The Company has elected to avail itself of this extended transition period and, as a result, the Company will not be required to adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies so long as the Company remains an EGC. Recently Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established Topic 842, Leases Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases Targeted Improvements On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), The Company elected the following practical expedients for all lease asset classes, which must be elected as a package and applied consistently to all of its leases at the transition date: i) the Company did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; ii) the Company did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (that is, all existing leases that were classified as operating leases in accordance with ASC 840, Leases At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities, as applicable. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to recognize leases on the balance sheet with a term of twelve months or less. The Company’s leases consist of office and lab space and office equipment. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating, and options to renew a lease are only included in the lease term to the extent those options are reasonably certain to be exercised. Additionally, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient not to separate lease and nonlease components for all leases. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. The rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable and, as a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. To estimate its incremental borrowing rate, a credit rating applicable to the Company is estimated using a synthetic credit rating analysis since the Company does not currently have a rating agency-based credit rating. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of $12.2 million and $22.8 million, respectively, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, with the difference between the ROU asset and lease liability primarily attributable to unamortized lease incentives and deferred rent related to its lease for its corporate headquarters at 900 Middlesex Turnpike in Billerica, Massachusetts (the “900 Middlesex Turnpike Lease”). In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement Not Yet Adopted Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments There have been no other material changes to the significant accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements previously disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
