Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 required by GAAP for annual financial statements have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, have been included. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results anticipated for the full year. The preparation of the Company’s unaudited financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may significantly differ from these estimates and assumptions. For the year ended December 31, 2023, significant estimates and assumptions include the value of lease liabilities and right-of-use lease assets. There were no changes to the Company's significant estimates and assumptions subsequent to December 31, 2023 . Summary of Significant Accounting Policies During the three months ended March 31, 2024, other than the policies described below, there were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in Note 2 to the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the balance sheets (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2024 2023 Cash and cash equivalents $ 24,109 $ 16,233 Restricted cash 600 600 Total $ 24,709 $ 16,833 Short-term Investments Short-term investments primarily consisted of treasury securities, corporate debt securities and asset-backed securities. The Company’s investments in securities are classified as current as they are available for use in current operations. The following tables summarize the short-term investments held by the Company at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands): March 31, 2024 Amortized Gross Estimated U.S. treasury securities $ 125,507 $ ( 51 ) $ 125,456 Corporate debt securities 1,173 - 1,173 Total $ 126,680 $ ( 51 ) $ 126,629 December 31, 2023 Amortized Gross Estimated U.S. treasury securities $ 149,129 $ 158 $ 149,287 Corporate debt securities 8,255 ( 3 ) 8,252 Asset-backed securities $ 169 $ - $ 169 Total $ 157,553 $ 155 $ 157,708 The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities held by the Company at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2024 2023 Due within one year $ 126,629 $ 157,540 Due after one but within five years - 168 Total $ 126,629 $ 157,708 As of March 31, 2024, the Company considered the nature and number of available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position. The Company reviews its portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities at least quarterly to determine if any investment is impaired, whether due to changes in credit risk or other potential valuation concerns. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities at March 31, 2024 were primarily due to increases in market interest rates. The Company does not intend to sell the available-for-sale debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position, and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity. Based on the credit quality of the available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, and the Company’s estimates of future cash flows to be collected from those securities, the Company believes the unrealized losses are not credit losses. Accordingly, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses related to its available-for-sale debt securities at March 31, 2024 . Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue from sales of its products, which currently consist of the G4 instrument, related consumable flow cell kits and services. Revenue from instrument sales is recognized generally upon customer acceptance. Revenue from consumables sales is recognized generally upon shipment to the customer. Revenue from services, which are primarily comprised of assurance-type services, is recognized over the applicable service period. Revenue is recorded net of discounts and sales taxes. The Company invoices its customers for instruments generally upon acceptance, for consumables generally on delivery, and for services generally in advance of the service period. Invoice terms are generally net 30 days. Cash received from customers in advance of revenue recognition is recorded as a contract liability. The Company’s contracts with its customers generally do not include rights of return or a significant financing component. The Company regularly enters into contracts that include a combination of products and services, which are distinct within the context of the contract and are accounted for as separate performance obligations. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in proportion to its standalone selling price. Until the Company has sufficient volume of historical sales data for each performance obligation, the Company determines the standalone selling price using observable prices when available and with consideration of current market conditions, which is primarily based on prices set by management, adjusted for applicable discounts. The Company then recognizes revenue for each performance obligation as that performance obligations is satisfied, as discussed above. The Company has entered into instrument arrangements with certain customers, under which the Company provides the G4 instrument at no cost to the customer, other than shipping, and the customer pays for consumables at list price, or at list price plus a mark-up, as consumables are ordered, shipped and invoiced. Revenue is recognized as consumables are shipped to the customer and disclosed within consumables revenue below. The G4 instrument provided to the customer is recorded on the balance sheet as property and equipment and disclosed as instruments at customer sites under Note 6 to these financial statements. Depreciation expense for these instruments is included in cost of revenue. Revenue associated with any lease elements of these arrangements was not material during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 , the Company recognized $ 0.2 million of revenue for G4 instruments and $ 0.2 million of revenue for G4 consumables and services. Contract liabilities, which consists of deferred revenue, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $ 0.2 million and $ 0.3 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, $ 0.2 million of this balance was classified as current. Deferred revenue represents the value of performance obligations that have been invoiced but for which revenue has not yet been earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, all of the Company’s revenue was generated within the United States. During the period, the Company generated approximately 59 % of revenue from its top three customers. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company invests its cash equivalents in highly rated money market funds. The Company’s marketable securities consist of short-term investments in a variety of interest-bearing instruments, which have included U.S. government and agency securities, high-grade U.S. corporate bonds and asset-backed securities. Deposits may exceed federally insured limits, and the Company is exposed to credit risk on deposits with financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). During the periods presented, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities. Long-lived Asset Impairment Long-lived assets consist primarily of right-of-use lease assets and property and equipment. During the year ended December 31, 2023 , the Company identified an indicator of impairment of its long-lived assets due to a sustained decline in the trading price of the Company’s common stock over the preceding year, resulting in the Company’s market capitalization being below its net asset value. Although the Company is confident in the utility of its long-lived assets, and there have been no changes in their intended use, the implied cash flows based on the market capitalization of the Company indicated its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. In determining the fair value of its long-lived assets, the Company used a combination of discounted cash flows and observable market data. As a result of its fair value analysis, the Company recorded a $ 1.9 million impairment charge on its property and equipment as selling, general and administrative expense in the statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2023. The above indicator of impairment continued to exist as of March 31, 2024. The Company updated its fair value analysis as of March 31, 2024 and recorded no additional impairment . No impairment loss was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023 .
