FULGENT GENETICS, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1. Overview and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. These financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all subsidiaries and entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of an entity, the Company applies a qualitative approach that determines whether it has both (i) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in entities that it does not control, but in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated from the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Nature of the Business
Fulgent Genetics, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the Company, unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires, is a technology company offering comprehensive genetic testing providing physicians with clinically actionable diagnostic information they can use to improve the quality of patient care. The Company has developed a proprietary technology platform that allows it to offer a broad and flexible test menu and continually expand and improve its proprietary genetic reference library, while maintaining accessible pricing, high accuracy and competitive turnaround times. Combining next generation sequencing, or NGS, with its technology platform, the Company performs full-gene sequencing with deletion/duplication analysis in single-gene tests; pre-established, multi-gene, disease-specific panels; and customized panels that can be tailored to meet specific customer needs. In 2019, the Company launched its first patient-initiated product, Picture Genetics, a new line of at-home screening tests that combines the Company’s advanced NGS solutions with actionable results and genetic counseling options for individuals. Since March 2020, the Company has commercially launched several tests for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, including NGS and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction – based, or RT-PCR-based, tests. The Company has received an Emergency Use Authorization, or EUA, from the United States, or U.S., Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, for the RT-PCR-based tests for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 using upper respiratory specimens (nasal, nasopharyngeal, and oropharyngeal swabs) and for the at-home testing service through Picture Genetics. The Company’s at-home testing service for COVID-19 and RT-PCR-based test have been granted an EUA by the FDA only for the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens. The Company believes its test menu offers more genes for testing than its competitors in today’s market, which enables it to provide expansive options for test customization and clinically actionable results. A cornerstone of the Company’s business is its ability to provide expansive options and flexibility for all clients’ unique testing needs.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 8, 2021, or 2020 Annual Report, and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or any other period. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2020 Annual Report, including the notes thereto.
7
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
See the summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies set forth in the notes to its consolidated financial statements included in the 2020 Annual Report.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are based on historical data and experience available at the date of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as various other factors management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the recent global pandemic related to COVID-19. As the extent and duration of the impacts from COVID-19 remain unclear, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, primarily those related to: (i) revenue recognition criteria, (ii) trade accounts receivable and allowances for credit losses, (iii) the useful lives of fixed assets, (iv) estimates of tax liabilities, (v) the valuation of equity method investments, (vi) valuation of acquisition-related intangibles and goodwill, and (vii) useful lives of intangible assets and fixed assets.
Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Expenses for these subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations are recognized in foreign currency translation included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Gains from these translations were not significant in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and three months ended June 30, 2020, and loss from these translations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was not significant. The Company and its subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency remeasure monetary assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period, and inventories, property and nonmonetary assets and liabilities at historical rates. Losses from these remeasurements in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and in the six months ended June 30, 2020 were not significant. Gains from these remeasurements were not significant in the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating whether the arrangement conveys the right to use an identified asset and whether the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from and has the ability to direct the use of the asset. Operating lease right-of-use, or ROU, asset, short-term lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities were included in other long-term assets, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, including options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date, including inquiries with its bank, in determining the present value of lease payments since its leases do not provide an implicit rate. The lease ROU asset includes any base rent payments made and excludes lease incentives and variable operating expenses. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company leases out space in buildings it owns in El Monte, California, to third-party tenants under noncancelable operating leases and has leased out such space since the Company purchased such buildings. The Company recognizes lease payments as income over the lease terms on a straight-line basis and recognizes variable lease payments as income in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. The net rental income is included in the interest and other income, net, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
8
Concentration of Customers
In certain periods, a small number of customers has accounted for a significant portion of the Company’s revenue. After aggregating customers that are under common control or are affiliates, two customers contributed 20% and 16% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and two customers contributed 24% and 11% of the Company’s revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. One customer contributed 45 % of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and one customer contributed 31 % of the Company’s revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020. One customer comprised 13 % of total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2021. No customer comprised 10 % or more of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020. Revenue from the U.S. government was less than 10% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company classifies its customers into three payor types: (i) Insurance, (ii) Institutional, including hospitals, medical institutions, other laboratories, governmental bodies, municipalities and large corporations, or (iii) Patients who pay directly, as the Company believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following table summarizes revenue from contracts with customers by payor type for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 .

The Company had $ 6.9 million and $ 26.6 million of contract liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Revenues of $ 1.7 million and $ 196,000 for the three months and $ 25.5 million and $ 246,000 for the six months were recognized for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to contract liabilities at the beginning of the respective periods.
Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations
The Company does not have material future obligations associated with testing services that extend beyond one year.
Reagents and Supplies
The Company maintains reagents and other consumables primarily used in sample collections and testing which are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using actual costs on a first-in, first-out basis. The reagents and supplies were $ 25.4 million and $ 16.5 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and was included in other current assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Customer Deposit
Customer deposit in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consists primarily of payments received from customers in excess of their outstanding trade accounts receivable balances, and the excess payments will be refunded to the customers or offset against future testing receivables.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for expected uncollectible trade accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to trade accounts receivable and changes in allowance for credit losses are classified as a general and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing trade accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar risk characteristics exist and on an individual basis when it identifies specific customers that have deterioration in credit quality such that they may no longer share similar risk characteristics with the other receivables. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company uses a probability-of-default and loss given default model, which allows the ability to define a point of default and measure credit losses for receivables that have reached the point of default for purposes of calculating the allowance for credit losses. Loss given default represents the likelihood that a receivable that has reached the point of default will not be collected in full. The Company will update its probability-of-default and loss given default factors annually to incorporate the most recent historical data and adjusts the quantitative portion of the reserve through its qualitative reserve overlay. The Company looks at qualitative factors such as general economic conditions in determining expected credit losses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded $ 2.2 million and $ 3.3 million of provision for credit losses for trade accounts receivable, respectively. The provision was not significant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Marketable Securities
All marketable debt securities, which consist of corporate debt securities, municipal bonds, U.S. government agency debt securities, and Yankee debt securities issued by foreign governments or entities and denominated in U.S. dollars, have been classified as “available for sale”, and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of any related tax effects, are excluded from earnings and are included in other comprehensive income (loss) and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. Realized gains and losses on marketable debt securities are included in interest and other income, net, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cost of any marketable debt securities sold is based on the specific-identification method. The amortized cost of marketable debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Interest on marketable debt securities is included in interest and other income, net. In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, management invests to diversify credit risk and only invests in securities with high credit quality, including U.S. government securities, and the final maturity is tailored to the Company’s current liquidity needs with a maximum final maturity from the date of purchase of three years .
The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities are measured at fair value with the related gains and losses, realized and unrealized, recognized in interest and other income, net, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cost of any marketable equity securities sold is based on the specific-identification method.
For available for sale debt securities, in an unrealized loss, the company determines whether a credit loss exists. The credit loss is estimated by considering available information relevant to the collectability of the security and information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Any credit loss is recorded as a charge to interest and other income, net, not to exceed the amount of the unrealized loss. If the Company has an intent to sell, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a debt security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company will write down the security to its fair value and record the corresponding charge as a component of interest and other income, net.
Business Combination
The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting and allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from an acquiree based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth and margins, future changes in technology, expected cost and time to develop in-process research and development, brand awareness and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
10
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment tests on an annual basis, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, and goodwill is written down when it is determined to be impaired. The Company will perform an annual impairment review in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and compare the fair value of the reporting unit in which the goodwill resides to its carrying value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company evaluates all Accounting Standards Updates, or ASUs, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, for consideration of their applicability. ASUs not included in the Company’s disclosures were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2016-13
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those reporting periods for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC. For all other entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach as of January 1, 2021. The cumulative effect upon adoption was $ 887,000 to the retained earnings in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and trade accounts receivable, net, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The cumulative tax effective was $ 239,000 to retained earnings and deferred tax assets included in other long-term assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no impact related to available-for-sale debt securities.
ASU 2019-12
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), or ASU 2019-12, which is intended to reduce the complexity of accounting standards while maintaining or enhancing the helpfulness of information provided to financial statement users. The amendment in this ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing some exceptions including the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments, the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary, and the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period. Other changes include requiring entities to recognize franchise tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, evaluate tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, and reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date, making minor codification improvements for income taxes related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method, and specifying that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements. For public business entities, this amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 in the first quarter of 2021, and the adoption had no material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework with respect to measuring assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis. Under the framework, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as of the measurement date. The framework also establishes a three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
Level 1:
Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2:
Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3:
Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy:

Note 11. Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
The effective tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full year results, except that taxes related to specific events, if any, are recorded in the interim period in which they occur. The annual effective tax rate is based upon several significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pre-tax income of the Company in each tax jurisdiction in which it operates, and the development of tax planning strategies during the year. In addition, the Company’s tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws and other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.
The Company recorded consolidated provision for (benefit from) income taxes of $ 23.6 million and $ 90.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared with $( 599,000 ) and $( 565,000 ) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were 24 % and 25 % for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared with - 21 % and - 45 % or the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month periods of 2021, relative to 2020, was primarily attributable to a significant increase in income for the first quarter of 2021, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in income for the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by increased windfall tax deductions related to stock-based compensation.
The Company is not currently under examination by any major income tax jurisdiction. During 2021, the statutes of limitations will lapse on the Company's 2017 federal tax year and certain 2016 and 2017 state tax years. The Company does not believe the federal or state statute lapses or any other event will significantly impact the balance of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. The net balance of unrecognized tax benefits was not material to the interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Note 14. Business Combination
FF Gene Biotech
In April 2017, the Company acquired a 30 % equity interest in FF Gene Biotech , a newly formed a joint venture with Xilong Scientific, and Fuzhou Jinqiang Investment Partnership (LP), or FJIP. The joint venture was formed under the laws of China to offer genetic testing services to customers in China.
In May 2021, the Company entered into a restructuring agreement with Xilong Scientific and FJIP, resulting in the Company indirectly acquiring a 72 % controlling financial interest in FF Gene Biotech. As a result of the acquisition of FF Gene Biotech, or the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition , the Company will be more strategically aligned with it geographic expansion strategy. It also expects to reduce costs through economies of scale.
The goodwill of $ 23.1 million arising from the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition is attributed to the expected synergies and other benefits that will be potentially generated from the combination of the Company and FF Gene Biotech. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for tax purposes .
The Company allocated the purchase price to tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values. As additional information becomes available, such as the finalization of the estimated fair value of tax-related items, the Company may further update the preliminary purchase price allocation during the remainder of the measurement period (up to one year from the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition date). The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition date, as well as the fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition date.

The Company incurred $ 329,000 acquisition related costs, which was recorded as general and administrative expenses in its condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of the noncontrolling interest, or NCI, in FF Gene Biotech, a private entity, $ 8.1 million, was estimated by applying the income approach and market approach. The fair value measurement was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a fair value categorized within Level 3 of the three-tier fair value hierarchy . The NCI represents a minority interest of 28 % in the post-restructuring FF Gene Biotech. Since the NCI is the result of the restructuring, the implied value was utilized to value the NCI based on the 42 % effective investment. After determining the implied value, a discount for lack of marketability was applied to the 28 % interest representing lack of marketability related to the holding period to monetize the NCI in a future initial public offering, or IPO, or sale, and marketability related to market participant acquisition premiums implied in the value of the $ 19.0 million purchase price for a 42 % interest. The resultant total discount applied was 35 %, which is supported both by the put option analyses related to the potential holding period, and a 10 % discount owed to a market participant acquisition premium.
The Company recognized a gain of $ 3.7 million as a result of remeasuring to fair value its 30 % equity interest held before the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition . The fair value of the preexisting equity interest was determined based on the characteristics before consummating the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition and estimated by applying income approach and utilized the discounted cash flow method. The Company did not apply the market approach based on its characteristics before consummating the restructuring. The gain on the equity method investment is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
The amounts of FF Gene Biotech’s revenue and net losses included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and the revenue and net losses of the combined entity had the acquisition date been January 1, 2021 are not material to the Company.
The identified intangible assets acquired in the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition consisted of a $ 5.7 million royalty-free technology with an estimated amortization life of 10 years and a $ 1.2 million customer relationships with an estimated amortization life of 5 years. The value of these assets were based upon the preliminary fair values as of the closing date of the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition.
The Company concluded FF Gene Biotech is a variable interest entity as FF Gene Biotech lacks sufficient capital to operate independently. The Company concluded that it alone has the power to direct the most significant activities of FF Gene Biotech and therefore is the primary beneficiary of the entity post the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition. Judgment regarding the level of influence over FF Gene Biotech includes consideration of key factors such as the Company's ownership interest, representation on the board of directors or other management body and participation in policy-making decisions. Post the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition , the financial results for FF Gene Biotech are included in the Company’s condensed financial statements. Prior to the FF Gene Biotech Acquisition , the financial results for FF Gene Biotech were not significant for pro forma financial information.
