−Removed: Business combinations - Valuation of intangible assets
−Removed: Description of the Matter
−Removed: As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed its acquisitions of Omniome, Inc.
−Removed: and Circulomics, Inc.
−Removed: The transactions were accounted for as business combinations.
−Removed: As a result of the acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill of $410.0 million and intangible assets of $411.4 million.
−Removed: Auditing the Company’s accounting for the acquisitions was challenging because the determination of the fair value of the identified intangible assets, which principally consisted of in-process research and development (IPR&D), required management to make subjective estimates and assumptions.
−Removed: The Company used an income approach to measure the intangible assets.
−Removed: The valuation of the intangible assets is subject to higher estimation uncertainty due to management’s judgments in determining significant assumptions that included assumed revenue growth and obsolescence factors.
−Removed: Changes in these significant assumptions could have a significant effect on the fair value of the intangible assets.
−Removed: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
−Removed: We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls addressing the identified audit risks.
−Removed: For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions used to develop the fair value estimates of the intangible assets.
−Removed: We also tested management’s controls to validate that data used in the fair value estimates were complete and accurate.
−Removed: To test the estimated fair value of the intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the Company’s valuation models with the assistance of valuation specialists, performing sensitivity analyses to determine which assumptions had the greatest impact on the overall determination of value, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used to develop the assumptions.
−Removed: We also evaluated the assumptions by comparing them to market and economic trends, historical results of the Company’s business and other guideline companies within the same industry.

+Added: Revenue recognition - Identification of performance obligations and allocation of contract consideration
Description of the Matter
−Removed: As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's instrument is generally sold in a bundled arrangement and commonly includes the instrument, instrument accessories, installation, one-year period of service, training, and consumables.
−Removed: The consideration for bundled arrangements is allocated between separate performance obligations based on their individual standalone selling price.
−Removed: The Company estimates the standalone selling price of each performance obligation using average selling prices over a 12-month period combined with an assessment of current market conditions.
−Removed: If the standalone selling price is not directly observable, then the Company estimates the standalone selling price by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, overall market conditions, including geographic or regional specific factors, internal costs, profit objectives, pricing practices and other observable inputs.
−Removed: Auditing the Company's estimated standalone selling price is complex and required a higher level of judgment due to the level of estimation and subjectivity in establishing the standard selling price for products that are not sold separately.
+Added: For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $128.3 million, including $108.7 million of product revenue, which consists primarily of instrument sales and related consumables.
+Added: As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, instrument sales are generally sold in a bundled arrangement and commonly include the instrument, instrument accessories, training, and consumables.
+Added: For bundled arrangements, the Company identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer, to the customer, a product or service that is distinct.
+Added: The consideration for bundled arrangements is allocated between each performance obligation based on its individual standalone selling price, which is estimated by the Company, using historical sales data, as well as management judgment.
+Added: The Company enters into, or periodically modifies, revenue contracts with non-standard terms, requiring management to evaluate whether these non-standard terms represent a performance obligation.
+Added: For example, the Company may offer specified discounts on current components of the bundled arrangements and on future purchase options, for which historical information may not be available.
+Added: As part of the Company's identification of performance obligations and the resulting determination of the allocation of contract consideration, the Company considers if these specified discounts represent a material right when compared to the estimated standalone selling price and, therefore, a performance obligation to be included in the allocation of the contract value.
+Added: Auditing management’s identification of the performance obligations and the resulting determination of the allocation of contract consideration in certain contracts involved a higher degree of judgment due to the subjective nature of identifying certain performance obligations and the related determination of standalone selling price when it is not based on historical information.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
−Removed: We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls addressing the identified audit risks.
−Removed: For example, we tested controls over the process to determine the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
−Removed: We also tested management’s controls to validate that data used were complete and accurate.
−Removed: We tested management’s calculation of the standalone selling price by evaluating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in management's calculation by agreeing the data to historical transactions and contract pricing for backlog orders.
−Removed: We also performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in revenue recognized for the period under audit that would result from changes in the Company's estimated standalone selling price for the performance obligations.
+Added: We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls addressing management’s identification of performance obligations and allocation of contract consideration, including standalone selling price determination.
+Added: Our audit procedures included, among others, reading executed contracts for a sample of arrangements and evaluating whether terms of the contracts (including specified discounts on current and future purchase options) resulted in additional performance obligations.
+Added: Additionally, we tested the completeness and accuracy of the information used in management’s allocation of contract consideration, including the data incorporated in underlying calculations to determine standalone selling price.

−Removed: Our customers cannot benefit from our instrument systems without installation, and installation can only be performed by us or qualified distributors.
−Removed: As a result, the system and installation are considered to be a single performance obligation recognized after installation is completed except for sales to qualified distributors, in which case the system is distinct and recognized when control has transferred to the distributor which typically occurs upon shipment.
+Added: Installation services are considered distinct from the instrument.
+Added: Therefore, instrument revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the asset to the customer, which is generally upon delivery for sales made to our non-distributor customers and upon shipment for sales made to our distributor customers.

+Added: to acquire additional goods or services at a discount that exceeds the range of discounts that we typically give for that product or service for the same class of customer, or if the option provides the customer certain additional goods or services for free, the option may be considered a material right.
+Added: If the contract gives the customer the option to acquire additional goods or services at their normal standalone selling prices, we would likely determine that the option is not a material right and, therefore, account for it as a separate performance obligation when the customer exercises the option.
+Added: If the standalone selling price of the option is not directly observable, an estimated standalone selling price is utilized which considers adjustments for discounts that the customer could receive without exercising the option and the likelihood that the option will be exercised.
+Added: We may also utilize the alternative approach to estimate the standalone selling price, available pursuant to the applicable accounting guidance, to the extent we conclude the applicable criteria for using the alternative approach has been met.
+Added: We update the transaction price for expected consideration, subject to constraint, each reporting period if our estimate of future goods to be ordered by customers change.
