Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of 908 Devices Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 908
Devices Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss, of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit)
and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial
statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based
on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and
are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements
in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation
908 Devices Inc. (the “Company”)
was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 10, 2012. The Company is a commercial-stage technology company providing a
suite of purpose-built handheld and desktop mass spectrometry devices for the point-of-need to interrogate unknown and invisible materials
in a broad array of markets including life sciences research, bioprocessing, industrial biotech, forensics and adjacent markets.
The Company is subject to risks
and uncertainties common to technology companies in the device industry and of similar size, including, but not limited to, development
by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government
regulations, uncertainty of market acceptance of products, and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Potential risks
and uncertainties also include, without limitation, uncertainties regarding the duration and magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
on the Company’s business and the economy generally. Products currently under development will require additional research and development
efforts prior to commercialization and will require additional capital and adequate personnel and infrastructure. The Company’s
research and development may not be successfully completed, adequate protection for the Company’s technology may not be obtained,
the Company may not obtain necessary government regulatory approval, and approved products may not prove commercially viable. The Company
operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and competition.
In March 2020, the World
Health Organization declared the global novel coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) outbreak a pandemic. The impact of this
pandemic has been and will likely continue to be extensive in many aspects of society, which has resulted in and will likely continue
to result in significant disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses and capital markets around the world. The Company cannot
at this time predict the specific extent, duration, or full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its future financial condition
and operations. The impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak on the Company’s financial performance will depend on future developments,
including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related governmental advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact
of COVID-19 on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or
the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Company’s results may be materially adversely affected.
Future impacts to the Company’s
business as a result of COVID-19 could include disruptions to the Company’s manufacturing operations and supply chain caused by
facility closures, reductions in operating hours, staggered shifts and other social distancing efforts; labor shortages; decreased productivity
and unavailability of materials or components; limitations on its employees’ and customers’ ability to travel, and delays
in shipments to and from affected countries and within the United States.
While the Company maintains an
inventory of finished products and raw materials used in its products, a prolonged pandemic could lead to shortages in the raw materials
necessary to manufacture its products. To address actual and expected reductions in revenue and cash flows, the Company reduced its discretionary
spending and reduced payroll costs, including through temporary employee furloughs and salary reductions. Starting in July 2020,
furloughed employees and pay rates were reinstated.
On December 22, 2020, the Company completed
its initial public offering (“IPO”), pursuant to which it issued and sold 7,475,000 shares of common stock, inclusive of 975,000
shares pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The Company received net proceeds
of $136.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs . Upon
the closing of the IPO, all of the shares of the Company’s outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock then outstanding automatically
converted into 14,691,929 shares of common stock (see Note 8).
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, 908 Devices Securities Corporation. All intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.
82
908 DEVICES INC.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments
in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses since inception, including net losses of $12.8 million and
$13.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of $78.5 million. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses in the foreseeable future. As of March 31,
2021, the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements, the Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient
to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the consolidated
financial statements. The Company may seek additional funding through private or public equity
financings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. The Company may
not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into collaborations or other
arrangements. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company's stockholders. If the Company
is unable to obtain funding, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs,
product expansion or commercialization efforts, or the Company may be unable to continue operations.
Although management continues to pursue these financing plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining
sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company to fund continuing operations, if at all.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but
are not limited to, revenue recognition, the valuation of inventory and the valuation of common stock and stock-based awards. The Company
bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and
financial markets. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments
or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2021, the date of issuance of these consolidated
financial statements. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. On an ongoing basis, management
evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in
which they become known. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Risk of Concentrations of Credit, Significant
Customers and Significant Suppliers
Financial instruments that potentially
expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company
maintains its cash and cash equivalents with two financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. The Company
has not experienced any other-than-temporary losses with respect to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject
to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
Significant customers are those
that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue or accounts receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2020,
one customer represented 33% of total revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers represented 17%, 11% and
11%, respectively, of total revenue. As of December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 27%, 11% and 11%, respectively, of gross
accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019, one customer accounted for 38% of gross accounts receivable.
Certain of the components included
in the Company’s products are obtained from a sole source, a single source or a limited group of suppliers. Although the Company
seeks to reduce dependence on those limited sources of suppliers and manufacturers, the partial or complete loss of certain of these sources,
or the requirement to establish a new supplier for the components, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating
results, financial condition and cash flows and damage its customer relationships.
83
908 DEVICES INC.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs related
to a recognized debt liability are recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt liability and amortized to interest expense
using the effective interest method over the repayment term of the debt.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable are presented
net of a provision for doubtful accounts, which is an estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts
is the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. An allowance for doubtful accounts is
established when it is probable a credit loss has been incurred based on historical collection information, a review of major customer
accounts receivable balances and an assessment of current economic conditions. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the
allowance when it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues collection of the receivable. As of December 31,
2020 and 2019, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was less than $0.1 million. During the years ended December 31,
2020 and 2019, the Company did not record any provisions for doubtful accounts and did not write off any accounts receivable balances.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower
of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using the first-in, first-out method. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities
on-hand for excess and obsolete inventory and, when circumstances indicate, records charges to write down inventories to their estimated
net realizable value, after evaluating historical sales, future demand, market conditions and expected product life cycles. Such charges
are classified as cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Any write-down of inventory to
net realizable value creates a new cost basis.
Assets Recognized from Costs to Obtain a Contract
with a Customer
The Company recognizes an asset
for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than
one year. The Company has determined that certain sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Total capitalized
costs to obtain a contract were not significant during the periods presented and are included in other current assets and other long-term
assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases
under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). In accordance with ASC 842, the Company accounts for a contract as a lease when
it has the right to control the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset’s economic benefits. The
Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains an embedded lease at inception. For arrangements that meet the definition
of a lease, the Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use asset and lease liability at the lease
commencement date and thereafter if modified. The lease term includes any renewal options that the Company is reasonably assured to exercise.
The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable;
otherwise, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate for that lease term. The Company’s policy is to not
record leases with an original term of twelve months or less on its consolidated balance sheets and recognizes those lease payments in
the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s existing
leases are for office and laboratory space. In addition to rent, the leases may require the Company to pay additional costs, such as utilities,
maintenance and other operating costs, which are generally referred to as non-lease components. The Company has elected to not separate
lease and non-lease components. Only the fixed costs for lease components and their associated non-lease components are accounted for
as a single lease component and recognized as part of a right-of-use asset and liability. Rent expense for operating leases is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in operating expense
in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization.
84
908 DEVICES INC.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Depreciation and amortization
expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows:
Estimated Useful Life
Laboratory and demonstration equipment
2 to 5 years
Computer equipment and software
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
7 years
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of remaining life of lease or useful life
Costs for capital assets not yet
placed into service are capitalized as construction-in-progress and depreciated once placed into service. Upon retirement or sale, the
cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain
or loss is included in loss from operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist of operating
lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment. Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events
or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors that the Company
considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations,
significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment
review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset group for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows
expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset group to its carrying value. An impairment loss can be
recognized in loss from operations when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset group are
less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset group over its fair
value, determined based on discounted cash flows. The Company did not record any impairment losses on long-lived assets during the years
ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Software Development Costs
The Company incurs costs to develop
computer software that is embedded in the hardware components of the Company’s products. Research and development costs related
to this software are expensed as incurred, except for costs of internally developed or externally purchased software that qualify for
capitalization. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility, but prior to the general
release of the product, are capitalized and, upon general release, are amortized based upon the pattern in which economic benefits related
to such assets are realized. Due to the short time period between achieving technological feasibility and product release and the insignificant
amount of costs incurred during such periods, the Company did not capitalize any software development costs during the years ended December 31,
2020 and 2019.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities
are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer
a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs
and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed
in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered
unobservable:
· Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
· Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or
liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable
or can be corroborated by observable market data.
· Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the
fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
The Company’s cash equivalents
are carried at fair value, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 3). The carrying values of the Company’s
accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature
of these assets and liabilities. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its fair value (a level 2 measurement)
at each balance sheet date due to its variable interest rate, which approximates a market interest rate.

Product Warranties
The Company offers a one-year
limited warranty on most products, which is included in the selling price. The Company’s standard limited warranty covers repair
or replacement. The Company provides for estimated warranty expenses as a component of cost of revenue at the time product revenue is
recognized. Warranty costs are estimated based on the current expected product replacement or repair cost and expected replacement or
repair rates based on historical experience. The Company evaluates its warranty accrual at the end of each reporting period and makes
adjustments as necessary.
Classification and Accretion of Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock
In periods prior to the IPO, the
Company classified redeemable convertible preferred stock outside of stockholders’ equity (deficit) because the shares contained
certain redemption features that were not solely within the control of the Company. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of
each series of redeemable convertible preferred stock were recorded as a reduction of gross proceeds from issuance. The Company recorded
periodic accretion to the values of its outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock such that the carrying value of the redeemable
convertible preferred stock would equal to the redemption value at the earliest date of redemption. Adjustments to the carrying values
of the redeemable convertible preferred stock at each reporting date resulted in an increase or decrease to net income (loss) attributable
to common stockholders.
Preferred Stock Warrant Liability
The Company classified warrants
for the purchase of shares of its redeemable convertible preferred stock (see Notes 3 and 9) as a liability on its consolidated balance
sheets as these warrants were freestanding financial instruments that could have required the Company to transfer assets upon exercise.
The warrant liability was initially recorded at fair value upon the date of issuance of each warrant and was subsequently remeasured to
fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the warrant liability were recognized as a component of other income (expense)
in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. On December 22, 2020, immediately prior to the closing of the
IPO, these warrants were converted into warrants to purchase common stock and the fair value of the warrant liability at that time was
reclassified to common stock. As a result, subsequent to the closing of the IPO, the Company no longer remeasures the fair value of the
warrant liabilities at each reporting date.
Segment Information
The Company manages its operations
as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company provides a suite of purpose-built
handheld and desktop mass spectrometry devices for use in a broad array of markets. Operating segments are defined as components of an
enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or decision-making
group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has determined that its chief operating decision maker
is its Chief Executive Officer. All of the Company’s long-lived assets are held in the United States.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue
from sales to customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), by applying the following
five steps: (1) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer, (2) identification of the performance obligations
in the contract, (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations
in the contract and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.

Product and Service Revenue
The Company derives product and
service revenue primarily from the sale of handheld and desktop products and related consumables and services. Revenue is recognized when
control of the promised products, consumables or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects
the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products, consumables or services (the transaction price).
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer and is the unit of accounting
under ASC 606. For devices and consumables sold by the Company, control transfers to the customer at a point in time. To indicate the
transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer, the customer must
have the significant risks and rewards of ownership, and where acceptance is other than perfunctory, the customer must have accepted the
product or service. The Company’s principal terms of sale are freight on board (“FOB”) shipping point, or equivalent,
and, as such, the Company primarily transfers control and records revenue for product sales upon shipment. Sales arrangements with delivery
terms that are not FOB shipping point are not recognized upon shipment and the transfer of control for revenue recognition is evaluated
based on the associated shipping terms and customer obligations. If a performance obligation to the customer with respect to a sales transaction
remains to be fulfilled following shipment (typically installation or acceptance by the customer), revenue recognition for that performance
obligation is deferred until such commitments have been fulfilled. For extended warranty and support, control transfers to the customer
over the term of the arrangement. Revenue for extended warranty and support is recognized based upon the period of time elapsed under
the arrangement as this period represents the transfer of benefits or services under the agreement.
For a contract with multiple performance
obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling
price basis using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or service in the contract.
The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the price observed in standalone sales to customers; however, when prices
in standalone sales are not available the Company may use third party pricing for similar products or services or estimate the standalone
selling price, which is set by management. Allocation of the transaction price is determined at the contract’s inception.
The Company recognizes a receivable
at the point in time at which it has an unconditional right to payment. Such receivables are not contract assets. Payment terms for customer
orders, including for each of the Company’s primary performance obligations, are typically 30 to 90 days after the shipment or delivery
of the product, and such payments typically do not include payments that are variable, dependent on specified factors or events. In limited
circumstances, there exists a right of return for product if agreed to by the Company. Revenue is only recognized for those goods that
are not expected to be returned such that it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue. Service
arrangements commonly call for payments in advance of performing the work (e.g., extended warranty/service contracts), upon completion
of the service or a mix of both. The Company does not enter into significant financing agreements or other forms of variable consideration.
Contract assets arise from unbilled
amounts in customer arrangements when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer and the Company’s right to payment
is not only subject to the passage of time. The Company had no contract assets related to product or service revenue as of December 31,
2020 or 2019.
Contract liabilities represent
the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which it has received consideration (or the amount is due)
from the customer. The Company has determined that its only contract liability related to product and service revenue is deferred revenue,
which consists of amounts that have been invoiced but that have not been recognized as revenue. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue
within 12 months of the balance sheet date are classified as current deferred revenue and amounts expected to be recognized as revenue
beyond 12 months of the balance sheet date are classified as noncurrent deferred revenue.

License and Contract Revenue
The Company generates revenue
from short and long-term contracts associated with the design and development and delivery of detection devices or related design and
support services. To date, these contracts are primarily with the U.S. government or commercial entities contracting with the U.S. government,
but the Company has also had such contracts with commercial partners. The Company’s contracts with the U.S. government typically
are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) and are priced based on estimated or actual costs of producing goods
or providing services. The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods or services
provided under U.S. government contracts. The pricing for non-U.S. government contracts is based on the specific negotiations with each
customer.
Under the typical payment terms
of U.S. government fixed-price contracts, the customer pays in accordance with the terms of the specific agreement, but generally through
progress payments. If these progress payments are made in advance, these payments are recorded as a contract liability, classified as
deferred revenue within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, until the Company provides the underlying services. For U.S. government
cost-type contracts, the customer generally pays for actual costs incurred within a short period of time. For contracts with commercial
partners, payments are made in accordance with the terms of the specific agreement. For agreements which call for milestone payments,
to the extent the Company does not conclude that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will occur, a contract
asset is generated until the Company is permitted to bill for costs incurred, which is classified as unbilled receivables in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet. In some cases, payments received in advance under license agreements are recorded as deferred revenue and
recognized over the respective contract term, absent any other performance obligations.
Generally, revenue for long-term
contracts is recognized based upon the cost-to-cost measure of progress, provided that the Company meets the criteria associated with
transferring control of the good or service over time such as not creating an asset with an alternative use and having an enforceable
right to payment for completed performance. However, the Company evaluates the proper revenue recognition on a contract by contract basis,
as each contract generally contains terms specific to the underlying agreement which result in differing performance obligations and payment
terms (cost plus, fixed price agreements among others). For revenue recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress basis, the Company
continually assesses total costs expected to be incurred and if such costs require adjustment to the measure of progress, the Company
records such adjustment as a change in estimate on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period of adjustment.
The Company includes the unconstrained
amount of consideration in the transaction price. The amount included in the transaction price is constrained to the amount for which
it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period,
as required under ASC 606, the Company re-evaluates the estimated consideration included in the transaction price and any related constraint,
and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis
in the period of adjustment.
Contract assets arise from unbilled
amounts in customer arrangements when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer and the Company’s right to payment
is not just subject to the passage of time. The Company includes contract assets within unbilled receivables in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had contract assets related to contract or license revenue totaling less than
$0.1 million and as of December 31, 2019, the Company had contract assets related to contract or license revenue totaling $0.1 million.

Financial Statements
Contract liabilities represent
the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which it has received consideration (or the amount is due)
from the customer. Contract liabilities arising from license agreements typically represent payments received for the license of symbolic
intellectual property for a defined term. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had contract liabilities totaling $2.8 million related
to contract and license revenue, which the Company expects to recognize during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. As of
December 31, 2019, the Company had contract liabilities totaling $0.6 million related to contract and license revenue, which was
recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company recognizes deferred revenue by first allocating from the beginning
deferred revenue balance to the extent that the beginning deferred revenue balance exceeds the revenue to be recognized. Billings during
the period are added to the deferred revenue balance to be recognized in future periods. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s
wholly- or partially-unsatisfied performance obligations totaled $0.9 million related to contract and license agreements entered into
prior to year end, which the Company expects to recognize during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.
Distribution Channels
A majority of the Company’s
revenue is generated by sales in conjunction with its distribution partners, such as its international distributors and, in the United
States, for end customers where a government contract is required or a customer has a pre-existing relationship. When the Company transacts
with a distribution partner, its contractual arrangement is with the partner and not with the end-use customer. Whether the Company transacts
business with and receives the order from a distribution partner or directly from an end-use customer, its revenue recognition policy
and resulting pattern of revenue recognition for the order are the same.

in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Cost of Revenue
Product cost of revenue primarily
consists of costs for raw material parts and associated freight, shipping and handling costs, royalties, contract manufacturer costs,
salaries and other personnel costs, overhead and other direct costs related to those sales recognized as product revenue in the period.
Cost of revenue for services primarily
consists of salaries and other personnel costs, travel related to services provided, facility costs associated with training, warranties
and other costs of servicing equipment on a return-to-factory basis and at customer sites. License and contract cost of revenue primarily
consists of salaries and other personnel costs, materials, travel and other direct costs related to those revenue recognized as license

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses
consist primarily of employee-related expenses incurred for research activities, product development, hardware and software engineering,
consultant services and other costs associated with the Company’s technology platform and products, research materials and facilities,
depreciation and maintenance expense.
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses costs of
advertising as incurred. Advertising costs were $0.4 million and $0.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
Patent Costs
All patent-related costs incurred
in connection with filing and prosecuting patent applications are expensed as incurred due to the uncertainty about the recovery of the
expenditure. Amounts incurred are classified as general and administrative expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures stock-based
option awards granted to employees, consultants and directors based on their fair value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. Compensation expense for those awards is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is
generally the vesting period of the respective award. The straight-line method of expense recognition is applied to all awards with service-only
conditions, while the graded vesting method is applied to all grants with both service and performance conditions.
The Company classifies stock-based
compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the same manner in which the award recipient’s
payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.

Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss includes net
loss as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) that result from transactions and economic events other than those
with stockholders. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no difference between net loss and comprehensive loss.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Prior to the closing of the IPO,
the Company followed the two-class method when computing net income (loss) per share, as the Company had issued shares that meet the definition
of participating securities. The two-class method determines net income (loss) per share for each class of common and participating securities
according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income
available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective
rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed.
Basic net income (loss) per share
attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders is computed
by adjusting net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to reallocate undistributed earnings based on the potential impact
of dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the diluted net
income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including
potential dilutive common shares assuming the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.
The Company’s convertible
preferred stock contractually entitled the holders of such shares to participate in dividends but does not contractually require the holders
of such shares to participate in losses of the Company. Accordingly, in periods in which the Company reports a net loss, such losses are
not allocated to such participating securities. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders,
diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders,
since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Subsequent to the closing of its IPO, the Company
only has one class of shares outstanding and basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, including potential
dilutive common shares assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock awards. For periods in which the Company reports a net loss,
diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have
been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for each of the years
ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income
taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or in the Company’s tax returns. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will
be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely
than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge
to income tax expense. Potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by estimating the future taxable profits expected and
considering prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
The Company accounts for uncertainty
in income taxes recognized in the consolidated financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit
to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination
by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine
the amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest
amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provision for income taxes includes the
effects of any resulting tax reserves, or unrecognized tax benefits, that are considered appropriate as well as the related net interest
and penalties.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
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 which eliminates, modifies, and adds disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The standard is
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company
adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company qualifies as “emerging
growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and has elected not to “opt out” of the
extended transition related to complying with new or revised accounting standards, which means that when a standard is issued or revised
and it has different application dates for public and nonpublic companies, the Company will adopt the new or revised standard at the time
nonpublic companies adopt the new or revised standard and will do so until such time that the Company either (i) irrevocably elects
to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company.
In June 2016, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) . The new standard adjusts the accounting for assets
held at amortized costs basis, including marketable securities accounted for as available for sale, and trade receivables. The standard
eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold and requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses.
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present
the net amount expected to be collected. For public entities except smaller reporting companies, the guidance is effective for annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. For non-public entities and
smaller reporting companies, the guidance was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. In November 2019,
the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which deferred the effective date for non-public entities to annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is allowed. The Company is currently
assessing the date of the adoption and the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB
issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which
is intended to simplify various areas related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles
in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. For public entities the guidance is effective
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. For non-public
entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within
years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard
on its consolidated financial statements.

into or out of Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
The preferred stock warrant liability
in the December 31, 2019 table above consisted of the fair value of warrants to purchase the Company’s redeemable convertible
preferred stock (see Note 9) and was based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represented a Level 3 measurement
within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s valuation of the preferred stock warrants utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model, which incorporates assumptions and estimates to value the preferred stock warrants. The Company assessed these assumptions and
estimates on a quarterly basis as additional information impacting the assumptions was obtained. Changes in the fair value of the preferred
stock warrants were recognized as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. On December 22,
2020, immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, the warrants to purchase preferred stock were converted into warrants to purchase common
stock, and the fair value of the warrant liability at that time was reclassified to common stock. As a result, subsequent to the closing
of the IPO, the Company no longer remeasures the fair value of the warrant liability at each reporting date.
Based on the terms and conditions
of the warrants, immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s IPO on December 22, 2020, the preferred stock warrants converted
to common stock warrants. On that date, the Company remeasured the warrants and reclassified the total carrying value to stockholders’
equity (deficit). The Company performed the final measurement of the warrants using the fair value of the underlying common shares of
$50.51 per share and recorded the change in fair value in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The
increase in fair value of the warrant liability during the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily related to the increase in
the value of the underlying shares as of the date the warrants converted.

The Company had a commercial services
agreement entered into in 2015 with one of its preferred stock investors under which the investor became eligible for payment of $1.5
million upon the achievement of certain sales and marketing milestones by December 31, 2016. Payment of the milestones was only upon
the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event prior to an IPO. The Company accounted for the commercial services agreement liability as
a financial instrument that may have required a transfer of assets because of the liquidation features. The liability was remeasured to
fair value at each reporting period based on the probability of the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event. Upon the closing of the
Company’s IPO in December 2020, the obligation was resolved, and the Company is no longer required to pay such milestone payments.
Accordingly, the Company recorded other income of $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 to reduce the fair value of
the liability to zero.

Loan and Security Agreements
The Company previously had outstanding
borrowings under a loan and security agreement entered into in 2017 (the “2017 Loan”). In August 2019, the Company repaid
the outstanding balance of the 2017 Loan of $10.0 million plus the end of term payment of $0.4 million and entered into a Loan and Security
Agreement (the “2019 Loan”) with a new financial institution. Upon repayment of the outstanding amounts, the Company recorded
a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million, which was included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive loss.
The 2019 Loan provides for up
to $15.0 million in borrowings, of which the entire $15.0 million was borrowed in 2019. The 2019 Loan calls for monthly interest-only
payments through February 28, 2021, followed by 30 monthly payments of principal and interest commencing March 1, 2021. The
2019 Loan matures on August 1, 2023. The 2019 Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) 0.5% plus the Wall Street
Journal prime rate and (ii) 6.0%. The collateral for the 2019 Loan includes substantially all of the Company’s property (excluding
intellectual property, which is subject to a negative pledge).
The 2019 Loan includes financial
covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio of unrestricted cash plus 50% of accounts receivable to debt outstanding
under the 2019 Loan of at least 1.00 to 1.00. The Company is also required to maintain a balance of unrestricted cash at the Lender in
an amount not less than $3.0 million. Further, the Company and the Lender agree to amend the 2019 Loan to set financial covenants for
2020 and beyond. The 2019 Loan also contains negative covenants restricting the Company’s activities, including limitations on dispositions,
mergers or acquisitions; encumbering or granted in a security interest in its intellectual property; incurring indebtedness or liens;
paying dividends; making certain investments; and certain other business transactions.
On March 15, 2020, the Company
signed the first amendment to the 2019 Loan which set the covenants for the first half of 2020 and increased the balance of minimum unrestricted
cash held at the Lender to an amount not less than $4.0 million. On August 7, 2020, the Company signed the second amendment to the
2019 Loan which set the covenants for the second half of 2020 to the achievement of either a minimum revenue amount or a defined liquidity
ratio. The second amendment also decreased the balance of minimum unrestricted cash held at the Lender to an amount not less than $3.0
million. On December 22, 2020, the Company signed the third amendment to the 2019 Loan, which added subsidiary investment conditions
and restrictions. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2019 Loan,
as amended.
In connection with the 2019 Loan,
the Company issued to the Lender a warrant to purchase 35,771 shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $6.29 per
share. The fair value of the warrant at issuance was estimated to be $0.2 million and was recorded as a debt discount and as a preferred
stock warrant liability (see Notes 3 and 9).
As of December 31, 2020 and
2019, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the 2019 Loan, as amended was 6.0%. During the year ended December 31, 2020,
the weighted average effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the 2019 Loan was approximately 6.5%.
As of December 31, 2020,
future principal payments are as follows (in thousands):

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In connection with the refinancing
of the outstanding borrowings under the 2019 Loan, the Company executed the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “2021
Revolver”) on March 11, 2021, under which $14.5 million was drawn down from the revolving line of credit to repay outstanding
borrowings under the 2019 Loan (see Note 17).
In
accordance with the applicable accounting standards, a short-term debt obligation should be excluded from current liabilities if the entity
has both the intent and ability to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis. The intent and ability can be demonstrated by the issuance
of a long-term obligation to refinance the short-term obligation on a long-term basis after the date of an entity’s balance sheet
but before that balance sheet is issued. Due to the initial drawdown of the 2021 Revolver to repay
the amount outstanding under the 2019 Loan, the Company classified $14.5 million of debt outstanding as of December 31, 2020 as long-term
debt, net of current portion. Principal amounts totaling $0.5 million paid in the first quarter of 2021 prior to entering into the 2021
Revolver were classified as current portion of long-term debt as of December 31, 2020.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
On April 18, 2020, the Company
issued a Promissory Note to Signature Bank, pursuant to which it received loan proceeds of $2.2 million (the “Loan”) provided
under the Paycheck Protection Program established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and guaranteed by the U.S.
Small Business Administration (the “Paycheck Protection Program”). However, based on updated guidance related to this program,
the Company repaid the Loan on May 4, 2020. The Loan was unsecured, was scheduled to mature on April 18, 2022, had a fixed interest
rate of 1.0% per annum and was subject to the standard terms and conditions applicable to loans administered under the Paycheck Protection
Program.
8. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company issued Series A
redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), Series B redeemable convertible preferred
stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Series C
Preferred Stock”), Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) and Series E
redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”). The Series A Preferred Stock, Series B
Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock are collectively referred
to as the “Preferred Stock”.
As of December 31, 2019,
Preferred Stock consisted of the following (in thousands, except share amounts):

Upon the closing of the IPO in December 2020,
all 23,905,267 shares of the Company’s outstanding Preferred Stock automatically converted into 14,691,929 shares of common stock
and, therefore, there was no outstanding Preferred Stock at December 31, 2020.
9. Warrants
In connection with its lease agreement and debt
agreements, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase Preferred Stock as of December 31, 2019. The
Company classified all of its Preferred Stock warrants as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets because these warrants were freestanding
financial instruments that could have required the Company to transfer assets upon exercise. The liability associated with each of these
warrants was initially recorded at fair value upon the issuance date of each warrant and was subsequently remeasured to fair value at
each reporting date. Fair value of these warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (see Note 3), and the resulting
change in fair value of the warrant liability was recorded in other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statements of
operations and comprehensive loss (see Note 3).

Upon the closing of the IPO in December 2020,
the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase Preferred Stock automatically became warrants to purchase an aggregate of 154,634
shares of common stock.
In December 2020 holders of 61,931 warrants
completed a cashless exercise of the warrants, resulting in the Company’s issuance of 55,994 shares of common stock.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s
had outstanding warrants for the purchase of 92,703 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.17 per share, of which warrants
for the purchase of 49,078 shares and 43,625 shares expire in 2027 and 2028, respectively.
10. Equity
Each share of common stock entitles
the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Common stockholders are not entitled to
receive dividends, unless declared by the board of directors.
On December 11, 2020, the
Company effected a one-for-1.6271 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and a proportional adjustment
to the existing conversion ratios for each series of the Company’s Preferred Stock (see Note 8). Accordingly, all share and per
share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively,
where applicable, to reflect this reverse stock split and adjustment of the Preferred Stock conversion ratios.
On December 22, 2020, the
Company completed its IPO, pursuant to which it issued and sold 7,475,000 shares of common stock, inclusive of 975,000 shares sold by
the Company pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The aggregate net proceeds
received by the Company from the IPO were $136.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs.
Upon the closing of the IPO, all of the shares of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock then outstanding automatically
converted into 14,691,929 shares of common stock (see Note 8).
11. Stock-Based Compensation
2012 Stock Option and Grant Plan
The
Company’s 2012 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “2012 Plan”) provided for the Company to sell or issue incentive stock
options or nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards
to employees, directors and non-employee consultants of the Company. The 2012 Plan was administered by the board of directors or, at the
discretion of the board of directors, by a committee of the board of directors. The exercise prices, vesting and other restrictions were
determined at the discretion of the board of directors, or its committee if so delegated. The exercise prices, vesting, and other
restrictions were determined at the discretion of the board of directors, or its committee if so delegated. Following the effectiveness
of the Company’s 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) in December 2020, no future awards will
be made under the 2012 Plan. Additionally, shares underlying awards under the 2012 Plan that expire or are terminated, surrendered, or
canceled without the delivery of shares will be available for future awards under the 2020 Plan.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
On November 23,
2020, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and on December 11, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020
Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2020 Stock Plan”), which became effective on December 17, 2020. The 2020 Stock
Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted
stock units, unrestricted stock, unrestricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and cash-based awards to employees, directors and
consultants of the Company. The total number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2020 Plan is 1,843,771 shares plus
the number of shares underlying awards under the 2012 Plan that expire or are terminated, surrendered, or cancelled without the
delivery of shares, are forfeited to or repurchased or otherwise become available again for grant under the 2012 Plan. As
of December 31, 2020, 1,881,264 shares remained available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan provides that the
number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2020 Plan will automatically increase on January 1, 2022 and each
January 1 thereafter, by 4% of the outstanding number of shares of our common stock on the immediately preceding December 31
or such lesser number of shares as determined by the administrator of the 2020 Stock Plan.
2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On November 23, 2020, the
Company’s board of directors adopted, and on December 11, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”), which became effective on December 17, 2020. A total of 288,857 shares of common
stock of the Company are reserved for issuance under the 2020 ESPP. The 2020 ESPP provides that the number of shares reserved and available
for issuance will automatically increase on January 1, 2022 and each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2030, by the
least of (i) 307,295 shares of our common stock, (ii) 1% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately
preceding December 31, or (iii) such lesser number of shares of common stock as determined by the administrator of the 2020
ESPP.
Stock Option Valuation
The fair value of stock option
grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company historically has been a private company and lacks company-specific
historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility
of a publicly traded set of peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding
the volatility of its own traded stock price. For options with service-based vesting conditions, the expected term of the Company’s
stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla”
options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the
award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company
has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The following table presents,
on a weighted average basis, the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant-date fair value of
stock options granted:

common stock for those stock options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The aggregate
intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1.6 million and less than $0.1
million, respectively.
The weighted average grant-date
fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $2.89 per share and $0.85 per share, respectively.

12. Leases
The Company has leases for office
space and certain equipment. All of the leases recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as ROU assets are operating leases. The Company’s
leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to approximately six years. Some of the leases include options to extend
the lease for up to two years and these options were not included for the purpose of determining the right-of-use assets and associated
lease liabilities as the Company determined that the renewal of these leases is not reasonably certain. The leases do not include any
restrictions or covenants that had to be accounted for under the lease guidance.
On January 2, 2018, the
Company entered a new operating lease in Boston, Massachusetts (the “Lease”), for 37,500 rentable square feet of office space
and is considered the Company’s corporate headquarters. A security deposit of $0.5 million was paid to the landlord and the Company
issued a warrant to purchase 70,983 shares of Series D preferred stock at a purchase price of $5.6351 per share. The initial fair
value of the warrants of $0.3 million was recorded as additional rent payments, increasing the value of the ROU asset and preferred stock
warrant liability (see Notes 3 and 9).
The initial term of the lease
is through July 2025 and has additional renewal options. The annualized base rent will increase by 2.5% annually on the anniversary
of the commencement date. The Company is obligated to pay its portion of real estate taxes and costs related to the premise, including
costs of operations, maintenance, repair, replacement and management of the new leased premises.

The Company has a facility lease

Carolina for approximately 2,000 square feet that had an expiration date of November 2020. In October 2020, the Company entered
into an extension agreement for the North Carolina lease to extend it for an additional two years until November 2022.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The future minimum royalty payments
are $0.1 million per year in 2020 and beyond, through the end of the patents’ lives. The Company has the right to terminate the
agreements with written notice.
401(k) Savings Plan
The Company has a defined-contribution
savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum
age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis. Company contributions
to the plan may be made at the discretion of the board of directors. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had not made
any contributions to the plan.
Indemnification Agreements
In the ordinary course of business,
the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect
to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement
claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its executive officers and members
of its board of directors that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise
by reason of their status or services as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be
required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material
costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not currently aware of any indemnification claims and had not accrued any
liabilities related to such obligations in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is not currently
party to any material legal proceedings. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential
range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies.
The Company expenses as incurred the costs related to such legal proceedings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company’s potential
dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss
per share. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per
share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on
amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the
periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

15. Income Taxes
During the years ended December 31,
2020 and 2019, the Company did not record income tax benefits for the net operating losses incurred or for the research and development
tax credits generated in each year, due to its uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items. The Company does not have any foreign
operations and therefore, has not provided for any foreign taxes.
A reconciliation of the U.S.
federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows:

As of December 31,
2020, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $59.2 million and $35.9 million, respectively,
which may be available to offset future taxable income and begin to expire in 2032 and 2025, respectively, of which $24.8 million of federal net operating losses do not expire. As of December 31,
2020, the Company also had U.S. federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $4.1 million and $2.3
million, respectively, which may be available to offset future tax liabilities and begin to expire in 2032 and 2029,
respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Utilization of the U.S. federal
and state net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual
limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and corresponding provisions of state law, due to ownership
changes that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of carryforwards
that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382,
results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of a corporation by more than
50% over a three-year period. The Company has not conducted a study to assess whether a change of control has occurred or whether there
have been multiple changes of control since inception due to the significant complexity and cost associated with such a study. If the
Company has experienced a change of control, as defined by Section 382, at any time since inception, utilization of the net operating
loss carryforwards or research and development tax credit carryforwards would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382,
which is determined by first multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable
long-term tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration
of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards or research and development tax credit carryforwards before utilization. Further,
until a study is completed by the Company and any limitation is known, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position.
The Company has not conducted a study to document
qualified activities for research and development tax credits generated. Such a study may result in an adjustment to the Company's research
and development tax credit carryforwards; however, until a study is completed, and any adjustment is known, no amounts are being presented
as an uncertain tax position .
The Company has evaluated the
positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize the deferred tax assets. Management has considered the Company’s
history of cumulative net operating losses incurred since inception and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company
will not realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against the net
deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Management reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting
period.
Changes in the valuation allowance
for deferred tax assets related primarily to the increase in net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credit
carryforwards and were as follows (in thousands):
Year
Ended December 31,
2020
2019
Valuation allowance as of beginning of year
$ 20,903
$ 16,861
Increases recorded to income tax provision
1,982
4,042
Valuation allowance as of end of year
$ 22,885
$ 20,903
As of December 31, 2020
and 2019, the Company had not recorded any amounts for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to record interest and
penalties related to income taxes as part of its income tax provision. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no accrued
interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and no amounts had been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company files income tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which
it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal and state jurisdictions, where applicable.
The Company is open to future tax examination under statute from 2017 to the present; however, carryforward attributes that were generated
prior to 2017 may still be adjusted upon examination by federal, state or local tax authorities if they either have been or will be used
in a future period. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the year ending December 31,
2018. No material adjustments have been proposed to date. The Company has not received notice of examination by any other jurisdictions
for any other tax year open under statute.
16. Related Party Transactions
Commercial Services Agreement
As described in Note 3, in 2015,
the Company entered into a commercial services agreement with one of its preferred stock investors. The Company was required to pay up
to $1.5 million to the investor for the milestones previously achieved upon the occurrence of a Deemed Liquidation event prior to an
IPO. Upon the Company’s IPO in December 2020, the Company is no longer required to make a payment under the commercial services
agreement. The Company recorded other income of $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, representing the change in
the fair value of the liability from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020.

17. Subsequent Events
2021 Revolving Line of Credit
On March 11, 2021, the Company
entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, (the “2021 Revolver”), with the Lender to replace the 2019
Loan. This agreement created a revolving line of credit totaling $25.0 million and eliminated the existing term loan. Borrowings under
the revolving line of credit bear interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) one-half percent (0.5%) above the prime
rate or (ii) 4.0% and mature on March 11, 2024. Borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s property,
excluding intellectual property, which is subject to a negative pledge. The 2021 Revolver subjects the Company to various customary covenants,
including requirements as to financial reporting and financial covenants (including an unrestricted minimum cash level of $10.0 million),
and restrictions on our ability to dispose of our business or property, to change our line of business, to liquidate or dissolve, to
enter into any change in control transaction, to merge or consolidate with any other entity or to acquire all or substantially all the
capital stock or property of another entity, to incur additional indebtedness, to incur liens on the Company’s property, to pay
any dividends or make other distributions on capital stock other than dividends payable solely in capital stock, to redeem capital stock,
to enter into in-bound licensing agreements, to engage in transactions with affiliates, and to encumber the Company’s intellectual
property. Events of default under the 2021 Revolver include failure to make payments when due, insolvency events, failure to comply with
covenants or material adverse events with respect to the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default and until such event of
default is no longer continuing, the annual interest rate will be 5.0% above the otherwise applicable rate.
The terms of the 2021 Revolver
required that the existing term loan outstanding under the 2019 Loan be repaid with an advance under the line of credit. Accordingly,
on March 11, 2021, the Company used $14.5 million of proceeds from the revolving line of credit to repay all amounts then due on
the existing term loan.
