NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Bionano Genomics, Inc. (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a life sciences instrumentation company in the genome analysis space that provides tools and services based on its Saphyr system to scientists and clinicians conducting genetic research and patient testing, and provides diagnostic testing for those with autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”) and other neurodevelopmental disabilities through newly acquired Lineagen, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Lineagen”). The Company currently develops and markets the Saphyr system, a platform for ultra-sensitive and ultra-specific structural variation detection that is designed to enable researchers and clinicians to accelerate the search for new diagnostics and therapeutic targets and to streamline the study of changes in chromosomes, which is known as cytogenetics. The Saphyr system is comprised of an instrument, chip consumables, reagents and a suite of data analysis tools, and genome analysis services to provide access to data generated by the Saphyr system for researchers who want to evaluate Saphyr data quickly and with a low up-front investment.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial information has been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim reporting purposes. The 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, changes in equity, and comprehensive loss and cash flows for each period presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. 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, 2020.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $ 362.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, and working capital of $ 363.1 million as a result of common stock offerings executed in the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021. In February 2021, we applied for forgiveness of our Paycheck Protection Program (“the PPP”) Loan, and in March 2021, the PPP Loan, including all accrued interest, was forgiven in full for $ 1.8 million. In addition, the Company has a $ 5.0 million revolving line of credit with Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP (the “Innovatus LSA”), under which no borrowings were outstanding as of March 31, 2021. This facility is scheduled to expire in March 2024.
The Company believes its available cash balance will be sufficient to fund operations, obligations as they become due and capital investments for at least the next twelve months. However, the Company expects to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. The Company plans to continue to fund its losses from operations and capital funding needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings or other sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. If the Company is not able to secure adequate additional funding, the Company may be forced to make reductions in spending, potentially harming the Company’s business.
COVID-19
The Company is subject to additional risks and uncertainties as a result of the continued spread of COVID-19 and uncertain market conditions, which could continue to have a material impact on the Company’s business and financial results. The Company closely monitors and complies with various applicable guidelines and legal requirements in the jurisdictions in which it operates, which may continue to result in reduced business operations in response to new or existing stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions and other social distancing measures. The Company’s manufacturing partners, suppliers, and customers, have implemented similar operational restrictions. Despite reporting an increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020, the Company believes travel restrictions and overall reduced activity has negatively impacted the Company’s first quarter 2021 financial results. The future effects of COVID-19 are unknown and the Company’s financial results may continue to be negatively affected in the future.

Table of Contents
There may be long-term negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, even after it has subsided. Specifically, product demand may be reduced due to an economic recession, a decrease in corporate capital expenditures, prolonged unemployment, reduction in consumer confidence, or any similar negative economic condition. These negative effects could have a material impact on the Company’s operations, business, earnings, and liquidity.
Significant Accounting Policies
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2012, the Jump-Start Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for an emerging growth company. As an emerging growth company, the Company may elect to adopt new or revised accounting standards when they become effective for non-public companies, which typically is later than when public companies must adopt the standards. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act and, as a result, will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for emerging growth companies, which are the dates included below. However, as of May 7, 2021, the market value of the Company’s common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million. If the market value of the Company’s common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of June 30, 2021, the Company will be a large accelerated filer and therefore will cease to be an emerging growth company effective December 31, 2021.
In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) , which amends the accounting guidance for leases and increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires disclosures of key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-2 initially mandated a modified retrospective transition method, however, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which amends ASU 2016-2, permitting entities the option to adopt this standard prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening equity in the year of adoption and include required disclosures for prior periods but will not restate prior periods. The Company anticipates implementing the accounting guidance for leases using the alternative method beginning with the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2022 and interim reporting periods in 2023. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the lease accounting guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13) , which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables and available-for-sale debt securities. The standard is effective for the company beginning in the first quarter of 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06") , which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exceptions and also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The standard is effective for public business entities, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. For all other entities, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and adoption must be as of the beginning of the Company’s annual fiscal year. The Company’s early adoption of this accounting standard on January 1, 2021, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities which include warrants and outstanding stock options under the

Table of Contents
Company’s equity incentive plan have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive to the net loss per share. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding.
Potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because to do so would be anti-dilutive are as follows (in common stock equivalent shares):

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the United States represented 44.8 % and 63.9 % of total revenue.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of March 31, 2021, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied was $ 409,000 . These remaining performance obligations primarily relate to extended warranty and support and maintenance obligations. The Company expects to recognize approximately 64.8 % of this amount as revenue during the remainder of 2021, 31.1 % in 2022, and 4.1 % in 2023. Warranty revenue is included in Service and other revenue.
The Company recognized revenue of $ 156,885 and $ 127,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which was included in the contract liability balance at the end of the previous year.

Accounts Receivable
March 31,
2021 December 31,
2020
Accounts receivable, net:
Accounts receivable, trade $ 4,083,000 $ 4,894,000
Less allowance for doubtful accounts ( 2,091,000 ) ( 2,119,000 )
$ 1,992,000 $ 2,775,000
The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. For diagnostic testing services, receivables are based on either contractual rates with third-party payors, plus the amounts expected to be collected for any patient-responsibility portion, or for non-contracted arrangements, using the amounts expected to be collected from third-party payors and/or the patient-customer based on historical collection experience. The Company does not perform credit evaluations and therefore subsequent adjustments to the amount expected to be collected are recorded to revenue. The balance of our Lineagen accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2021 was $ 284,000 .
For optical genome mapping (“OGM”) products and services, credit is extended based upon an evaluation of each customer’s credit history, financial condition, and other factors. Estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts are determined by evaluating individual customer circumstances, historical payment patterns, length of time past due, and economic and other factors. Bad debt expense is recorded as necessary to maintain an appropriate level of allowance for doubtful accounts in selling, general and administrative expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a recovery of bad debt expense of $( 28,000 ), which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Amounts are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have been exhausted and are deemed uncollectible.
Concentrations
Accounts receivable is subject to concentration risk whenever a customer has a balance that meets or exceeds 10.0% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance. As of March 31, 2021, there were no customer balances that met or exceeded 10.0 % of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2020, Illumina, and Quest Diagnostics represented 17.3 %, and 10.1 %, respectively, of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory includes raw materials and finished goods that may be used in the research and development process and such items are expensed as consumed or expired.
Provisions for slow-moving, excess, and obsolete inventories are estimated based on product life cycles, historical experience, and usage forecasts.
The components of inventories are as follows:

5. Debt
Paycheck Protection Program
On April 17, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of approximately $ 1.8 million (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“the PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”).
The PPP Loan accrued interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, and is subject to the standard terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act. In February 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan, and in March 2021, the PPP Loan, including all accrued interest, was forgiven in full. A gain on forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loan of $ 1.8 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
I nnovatus LSA
In March 2019, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “LSA”) by and among Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Innovatus”), as collateral agent and the lenders listed on Schedule 1.1 thereto, including East West Bank. The LSA provided a first term loan of $ 17.5 million, a second term loan of $ 2.5 million and a third term loan of $ 5.0 million (collectively, the “Term Loans”) if the Company satisfied certain funding conditions. Interest on the Term Loans is due on the first of each month at a rate of 10.25 % per annum in cash or a discounted rate of 7.25 % in cash with 3.0 % of the 10.25 % per annum rate added to the principal of the loan and subject to accruing interest through the end of the interest only payment period, which ends March 1, 2022. At inception, the Company elected to pay interest in cash at a rate of 7.25 % per annum and have 3.0 % per annum of the interest added back to the outstanding principal. As of March 31, 2021, the effective interest rate, including debt issuance costs, for the Term Loans was 16.7 %. Beginning in April 2022, the Company must make 24 equal monthly payments of principal and interest with a final maturity date in March 2024, which may be earlier due to an event of default if not cured within time specified.
The LSA provides for prepayment fees of 3.0 % of the outstanding balance of the loan if the loan is repaid on or prior to March 14, 2020, 2.0 % of the amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs after March 14, 2020 but prior to March 14, 2021, 1.0 % of the amount prepaid after March 14, 2021 but prior to March 14, 2022 and 0 % of the amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs thereafter. In addition, upon the final repayment of the total amounts borrowed, the Company is required to pay an end of term fee of $ 0.8 million. This end of term fee is being recognized as interest expense over the term of the LSA.
The LSA also provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not to exceed $ 5.0 million (the “Revolver”), under which no borrowings were outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company may repay and re-borrow amounts under the Revolver at any time prior to the March 1, 2024 maturity date without penalty or premium. The outstanding balance of amounts borrowed under the Revolver bears interest at a rate equal to 2.0 % above the prime rate, per annum, as specified in the terms of the Revolver. The LSA allows the Company to borrow and repay amounts at any time prior to the maturity date in 2024.
The LSA is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including its intellectual property. The LSA requires the Company to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants, including: (1) a liquidity covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum cash balance at all times in a collateral account and (2) a revenue covenant requiring the Company to meet certain minimum revenue targets measured at the end of each calendar quarter. The LSA also includes certain standard events of default, and a provision that Innovatus could declare an event of default upon the occurrence of any event that it interprets as having a material adverse impact to the Company’s business, operations, or condition, a material impairment on the Company’s ability to pay the secured obligations under the LSA, or upon a material adverse effect on the collateral under the agreement, thereby requiring the Company to repay the loans immediately, together with a prepayment fee and other applicable fees. As of March 31, 2021, the Company believes there have been no events or changes in conditions that could require immediate repayment of amounts due to Innovatus. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Innovatus LSA and the Revolver.

Restricted Stock Units
On May 12, 2021, the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors granted 580,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to R. Erik Holmlin, Ph.D., the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Holmlin Grant”), and 240,000 RSUs to Mark Oldakowski, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer (the “Oldakowski Grant”), in each case with an effective grant date and vesting commencement date of May 12, 2021.
290,000 RSUs under the Holmlin Grant are subject to time-based vesting, with 50 % of the shares vesting on each of the first and second anniversaries of the vesting commencement date, subject to continued service through the vesting date, and 18 months vesting acceleration upon a termination without cause or resignation with good reason.
290,000 RSUs under the Holmlin Grant are subject to vesting upon the satisfaction of certain specified revenue targets within four years following the vesting commencement date. If Dr. Holmlin’s employment with the Company is terminated without cause or he resigns with good reason, then the shares will continue to be eligible for vesting upon satisfaction of the revenue targets within a period that is the shorter of 18 months following termination or four years following the vesting commencement date.
The RSUs comprising the Oldakowski Grant are subject to time-based vesting, with 50 % of the shares vesting on each of the first and second anniversaries of the vesting commencement date, subject to continued service through the vesting date.
7. Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be subject to potential liabilities under various claims and legal actions that are pending or may be asserted. These matters arise in the ordinary course and conduct of the business. The Company regularly assesses contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in the financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on the Company’s assessment, it currently does not have any material loss exposure as it is not a defendant in any claims or legal actions.
8. Income Taxes
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, United Kingdom and various state jurisdictions. The Company computes its quarterly income tax provision by using a forecasted annual effective tax rate and adjusts for any discrete items arising during the quarter. The primary difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate relates to the full valuation allowance on the Company’s U.S. net operating losses.
9. Acquisition of Lineagen
On August 21, 2020, the Company, Alta Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Lineagen, a Delaware corporation, and Michael S. Paul, Ph.D., solely in his capacity as exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact of the security-holders of Lineagen, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Lineagen whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased, with Lineagen continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Lineagen’s expertise in development, commercialization and reimbursement of laboratory-developed tests provides a platform for accelerating sales growth for the Company’s Saphyr system.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the shares of capital stock of Lineagen and all options of Lineagen that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically cancelled and extinguished without any payment with respect thereto. Certain holders of convertible notes and other indebtedness of Lineagen at the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) received common stock of the Company. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued or reserved for issuance as consideration for the Merger was 6,167,510 shares, subject to adjustment for cash, accounts receivable, unpaid indebtedness, unpaid transaction expenses and certain other liabilities of Lineagen (the “Merger Shares”). 925,126 of the Merger Shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) will be held in an escrow fund for purposes of satisfying any post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification claims under the Merger Agreement.
Also as consideration for the Merger, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company paid approximately $ 1.9 million in cash to certain creditors and assumed certain liabilities of Lineagen totaling approximately $ 2.9 million, reflective of the Company’s preliminary estimate of the post-closing purchase price adjustment (which adjustment is subject to finalization pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement). In addition, on August 21, 2020, concurrent with the Closing, the Company paid approximately $ 1.1 million to satisfy all outstanding principal and accrued interest amounts due pursuant to that certain Promissory Note, dated April 22, 2020, by and between Lineagen and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Lineagen PPP Loan”), issued pursuant to the CARES Act administered by the SBA. The Lineagen PPP Loan was repaid by the Company prior to maturity without penalty.
The Company accounted for its acquisition of Lineagen using the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC 805. The tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, and the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded to goodwill. Goodwill relates to the expected synergies from combining the operations of the companies. The acquisition was structured as a stock sale and therefore goodwill is non-tax deductible.
As permitted under ASC 805, the Company is allowed a measurement period, which may not exceed one year, in which to complete its accounting for the acquisition. The Company has recognized provisional amounts for tax assets and liabilities, and subsequent adjustments during the measurement period to any of these items may affect the amount of goodwill recognized. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $ 232,000 adjustment to the original purchase price allocation to reduce the estimated fair value of accounts receivable, with the offsetting amount recorded to goodwill. There were no additional purchase price adjustments made during the first quarter of 2021. The Company is still finalizing working capital adjustments with the seller.
As discussed above, the purchase price for the acquisition of Lineagen is subject to adjustment for cash, accounts receivable, unpaid indebtedness, unpaid transaction expenses and certain other liabilities of Lineagen. The following is the estimated purchase price for the acquisition of Lineagen:
Cash (a) $ 1,940,000
Cash transferred for repayment of Lineage PPP Loan (b) $ 1,105,000
Shares common stock issued as consideration (c) 6,167,510
Estimated shares of common stock to be returned to the Company (c) ( 138,247 )
Stock price per share on closing date $ 0.68
Value of estimated common stock consideration (c) $ 4,100,000
Total estimated purchase price (c) $ 7,144,000
(a) The Company paid approximately $ 1.9 million in cash to certain creditors of Lineagen.
(b) The Company paid approximately $ 1.1 million to satisfy all outstanding principal and accrued interest amounts due pursuant to the Lineagen PPP Loan.
(c) The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued or reserved for issuance as consideration for the Merger was 6,167,510 shares. 925,126 of the Merger Shares will be held in an escrow fund for purposes of satisfying any post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification claims under the Merger Agreement. The total number of Merger Shares is subject to adjustment for cash, accounts receivable, unpaid indebtedness, unpaid transaction expenses and certain other liabilities of Lineagen. The value of the estimated common stock consideration and the total estimated purchase price incorporate the return of an estimated 138,247 Escrowed Shares to the Company based on a preliminary estimate of this adjustment.
