### Overview

We are a leading commercial cell engineering company focused on providing enabling platform technologies to advance innovative cell-based research as well as next-generation cell therapeutic discovery, development and commercialization. Over the past twenty years, we have developed and commercialized our proprietary Flow Electroporation platform, which facilitates complex engineering through the delivery of molecules into a wide variety of cells. Electroporation is a method of transfection, or the process of deliberately introducing molecules into cells, that involves applying an electric field to temporarily increase the permeability of the cell membrane. This precisely controlled increase in permeability allows the intracellular delivery of molecules, such as genetic material and proteins, that would not normally be able to cross the cell membrane as easily.

Our ExPERT platform, which is based on our Flow Electroporation technology, has been designed to address this rapidly expanding cell therapy market and can be utilized across the continuum of the high-growth cell therapy sector, from discovery and development through commercialization of next-generation, cell-based medicines. The ExPERT family of products includes three instruments, which we call the ATx, STx and GTx, respectively, as well as a portfolio of proprietary related disposables and consumables. We have also introduced the VLx instrument for very large-scale cell engineering, which was made available for sale in December 2021. Our disposables and consumables include processing assemblies, or PAs, designed for use with our instruments, as well as accessories supporting PAs such as electroporation buffer solution and software protocols. We have garnered meaningful expertise in cell engineering via our internal research and development efforts as well as our customer-focused commercial approach, which includes a growing application scientist team. The platform is also supported by a robust intellectual property portfolio with more than 145 granted U.S. and foreign patents and more than 96 pending patent applications worldwide.

From leading commercial cell therapy drug developers and top biopharmaceutical companies to top academic and government research institutions, including the U.S. National Institutes of Health, or NIH, our customers have extensively validated our technology. We believe the features and performance of our platform have led to sustained customer engagement. Our existing customer base ranges from large biopharmaceutical companies, including all of the top 10, and 20 of the top 25, pharmaceutical companies based on 2021 global revenue, to hundreds of biotechnology companies and academic centers focused on translational research.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our ability to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful further development and commercialization of our products. We generated revenue of $21.2 million and incurred a net loss of $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $126.6 million. We expect to continue to incur net losses as we focus on growing commercial sales of our products in both the United States and international markets, including growing our sales and field application scientist teams, scaling our manufacturing operations, and research and development efforts to develop new products and further enhance our existing products. Further, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company in the United States.

### Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

We continue to closely monitor the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our business and the geographic regions where we operate. 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.

Impacts to our business as a result of COVID-19 have included disruptions to our manufacturing operations and supply chain caused by facility closures, reductions in operating hours, staggered shifts and other social distancing efforts, decreased productivity and unavailability of materials or components, limitations on our employees’ and customers’ ability to travel, and delays in product installations, demonstrations, trainings or shipments to and from affected countries and within the United States. Disruptions in our customers’ operations have impacted and may continue to impact our business. In light of the uncertain and rapidly evolving situation relating to the spread of COVID-19, we have taken precautionary measures intended to minimize the risk of the virus to our employees, our customers and the communities in which we operate, including temporarily closing our offices to visitors and limiting the number of employees in our offices to those that are deemed essential for manufacturing and research purposes, as well as virtualizing, postponing or canceling customer, employee and industry events.

We cannot predict the overall future impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our business and cannot guarantee that it will not be materially negative. Although we continue to monitor the situation and may adjust our current policies as more information and public health guidance become available, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and/or the precautionary measures that we or our customers have implemented or may adopt may create operational and other challenges, any of which could harm our business and results of operations.

### Recent Developments

We have continued to enter into SPL agreements with our cell therapy customers. These agreements are discussed in more detail in “Results of Operations” below and provide us with revenue from instrument sales and leases and disposables sales as well as downstream economics on our partners’ programs (both pre- and post-commercial). In the first three months of 2022, we signed an SPL agreement with Intima Bioscience, and we signed SPL agreement with LG Chem in July 2022, our first SPL with a South Korean company. We continue to grow our SPL pipeline and, while the specific timing of any agreement is uncertain, we expect to sign additional SPL agreements in the future.

### Revenue

We generate revenue principally from the sale of instruments and single-use processing PAs and buffer, and from the lease of instruments to our customers. In addition, our SPLs include clinical progress milestones and sales-based payments to us which may also provide material revenues.

In order to evaluate how our sales are trending across key markets, as well as the contribution of program economics from our SPLs, we separately analyze revenue derived from our cell therapy customers and drug discovery customers, as well as the performance-based milestone revenues we recognize under our SPLs. Cell therapy revenues include primarily revenue from instruments sold, annual license fees for instruments under lease, and sales of our proprietary disposables. Drug discovery revenue includes primarily revenue from instruments sold, sales of our proprietary disposables and, occasionally, instruments leased. Program-related revenues include clinical progress milestone and sales-based revenues derived from SPL agreements. Milestone revenues are recognized when a customer achieves the associated milestone event. To date, all Program-related revenue has consisted entirely of pre-commercial milestone revenue.

The following table provides details regarding the sources of our revenue for the periods presented:

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Cell therapy | ​ | $7,688 | ​ | $4,766 | ​ | $2,922 | 61% | ​ |
| Drug discovery | ​ | 1,916 | ​ | 1,838 | ​ | 78 | 4% | ​ |
| Program-related | ​ | 4 | ​ | 504 | ​ | (500) | NM | ​ |
| Total revenue | ​ | $9,608 | ​ | $7,108 | ​ | $2,500 | 35% | ​ |

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $9.6 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 35%, compared to revenue of $7.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Our overall increase in revenue was primarily driven by revenue growth in the cell therapy market, primarily from growing instrument sales and licenses and disposables sales, partially offset by a decrease in program-related revenue. In the cell therapy market, revenue from instrument sales and licenses increased by $1.5 million, while disposable sales increased by $1.4 million. Cell therapy revenue growth resulted primarily from new and existing customers and the continued progression of our cell therapy partners’ therapeutic development programs. The $0.5 million decrease in program-related revenues resulted from expected variability of milestone revenues from period to period given the small number of individual triggering events which currently generate this portion of revenue. We expect program-related revenue to experience variability for some time, although we anticipate that this variability may moderate as the volume of SPLs and associated milestones grows.

We expect total revenue to increase over time as our customers’ programs advance and our markets grow resulting in additional instrument sales and leases and disposable sales and as the percentage of our installed base that are under cell therapy license agreements increases. We expect revenue from disposable and instrument sales and instrument licenses to cell therapy customers to continue to grow as those customers advance their preclinical pipeline programs into clinical development and move their existing drug development programs into later-stage clinical trials and, potentially, into commercialization. In addition, we expect new customers to continue to emerge and contribute to these revenues, based on the underlying growth in the cell therapy pipeline among companies in this market, the extent to which capital is available to support such companies, and in particular the switch by some cell therapy companies away from viral to non-viral approaches. We expect, however, that our revenue will fluctuate from period to period due to the timing of securing product sales and licenses, the inherently uncertain nature of the timing of our partners’ achievements of clinical progress and our dependence on the program decisions of our partners.

### Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

Cost of goods sold primarily consists of costs for instrument and processing assembly components, contract manufacturer costs, salaries, overhead and other direct costs related to sales recognized as revenue in the period. Cost of goods sold associated with instrument lease revenue consists of leased equipment depreciation. Gross profit is calculated as revenue less cost of goods sold. Gross profit margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue.

Our gross profit in future periods will depend on a variety of factors, including sales mix among instruments, disposables and milestones, the specific mix among types of instruments or disposables, the proportion of revenues associated with instrument leases as opposed to sales, changes in the costs to produce our various products, the launch of new products or changes in existing products, our cost structure for manufacturing including changes in production volumes, and the pricing of our products which may be impacted by market conditions.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, gross margin was 88%, compared to 89% in the same period of 2021. The decrease in gross margin was principally due to decreased milestone revenues, which have no associated cost of goods sold. Excluding program-related revenues, gross margin was materially unchanged. Our margins depend on the revenue mix from instruments, PAs and milestones under SPLs. We price our instruments at a premium given what we believe to be the broad benefits of our platform, and the limited availability of alternative, clinically validated non-viral delivery approaches. However, the market for non-viral delivery is highly competitive, and introduction of a GMP-grade platform by a competitor that delivers similar performance across a similar diversity of cell types could negatively impact our business and lead to increased price pressure that negatively impacts our gross margins.

In addition, part of our growth strategy is to expand into new regional markets, which could require the use of distributors and/or our participation in more competitive environments, which could impact our ability to price our instruments at a premium and could negatively impact our ability to enter into SPLs on terms similar to those currently in effect.

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ | ​ | ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- |
| Cost of goods sold | ​ | $1,120 | ​ | $785 | ​ | $336 | ​ | 43% | ​ |
| Gross profit | ​ | $8,487 | ​ | $6,324 | ​ | $2,164 | ​ | 34% | ​ |
| Gross margin | ​ | ​ 88% | ​ | ​ 89% | ​ | ​ ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ |

Cost of goods sold increased by $0.3 million, or 43%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales of instruments and disposables.

Gross profit increased by $2.2 million, or 34%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by increased revenue from instrument and disposable sales and licensed instruments.

We expect that our cost of goods sold will generally increase or decrease as our instrument and disposables revenue increases or decreases. We expect our gross margin to benefit from realization of the economics from our SPL agreements, to the extent that such milestones grow to be a significant proportion of overall revenues, as there is no cost of goods sold associated with such revenue. However, realization and timing of these potential milestone revenues is uncertain.

### Operating Expenses

#### Research and Development

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ | ​ | ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Research and development | ​ | $4,696 | ​ | $3,204 | ​ | ​ | $1,492 | 47% | ​ |

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for our research activities related to advancing our technology and development of applications for our technology, including research into specific applications and associated data development, process development, product development (e.g., development of instruments and disposables, including hardware and software engineering) and design and other costs not directly charged to inventory or cost of goods sold.

These expenses principally include employee-related costs, such as salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, and travel, as well as consultant services, facilities, and laboratory supplies and materials. These expenses are exclusive of depreciation and amortization. We expense research and development costs as incurred in the period in which the underlying activity is undertaken.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our research and development expenses included $0.4 million in costs associated with wind-down of investments in the CARMA platform. There were no material CARMA-related expenses after June 30, 2021 and none are expected in the future.

Research and development expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 47%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a $0.7 million increase in compensation expenses as a result of increases in headcount, a $0.5 million increase in stock-based compensation, and a

$0.4 million increase in lab expense and products development costs, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in CARMA expenses as a result of the wind-down of CARMA operations.

We believe that our continued investment in research and development is essential to our long-term competitive position. We expect to continue to incur substantial research and development expenses as we invest in research and development to support our customers, develop new uses for our existing technology and develop improved and/or new offerings for our customers and partners. As a result, we expect that our research and development expenses, will continue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods and vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue.

#### Sales and Marketing

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Sales and marketing | ​ | $4,931 | ​ | $2,913 | ​ | $2,018 | 69% | ​ |

Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and other variable compensation, benefits, stock-based compensation and travel costs for employees within our commercial sales and marketing functions, as well as third-party costs associated with our marketing activities. These expenses are exclusive of depreciation and amortization.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $2.0 million, or 69%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a $0.9 million increase in marketing and travel expense, a $0.8 million increase in compensation expenses as a result of increases in headcount and a $0.3 million increase in stock-based compensation.

We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in future periods as we expand our commercial sales, marketing and business development teams, product offerings, expand our collaboration efforts, increase our presence globally, and increase marketing activities to drive awareness and adoption of our products.

#### General and Administrative

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| General and administrative | ​ | $7,103 | ​ | $4,301 | ​ | $2,802 | 65% | ​ |

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and travel costs for employees in our executive, accounting and finance, legal, corporate development, human resources, information systems and office administration functions as well as professional services fees, such as consulting, audit, tax and legal fees, general corporate costs, facilities and allocated overhead expenses and costs associated with being a Nasdaq and AIM listed public company such as director fees, U.K. NOMAD and broker fees, investor relations consultants and insurance costs. These expenses are exclusive of depreciation and amortization.

General and administrative expense increased by $2.8 million, or 65%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.2 million increase in expenses associated with our common stock being listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, beginning in July 2021, and related legal expenses, as well as a $1.0 million increase in compensation expense associated with headcount and salary increases, a $0.4 million increase in occupancy expense, and a $0.3 million increase in stock-based compensation, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in professional service expenses.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods, primarily due to increased headcount to support anticipated growth in the business and due to incremental costs associated with operating as a public company listed on a U.S. exchange, including insurance (particularly directors and officers insurance), costs to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on a U.S. securities exchange and costs related to compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and stock exchange listing standards, investor relations and professional services. We expect these expenses to vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue.

#### Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense consists of the depreciation of property and equipment used actively in the business, primarily by research and development activities. Amortization expense includes the amortization of intangible assets over their respective useful lives.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.2 million, or 54%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a significant investment in capital assets made in 2021 for laboratory equipment.

### Interest and Other Income (Expense)

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |

| Interest and other income | ​ | ​ 479 | ​ | ​ 9 | ​ | ​ 470 | NM | ​ |

We did not incur interest or other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as we currently have no indebtedness. Interest and other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was immaterial. Interest and other income represent interest on our cash balances and increased by $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the significantly higher balance of short-term investments resulting from the IPO proceeds received in August 2021.

### Revenue

The following table provides details regarding the sources of our revenue for the periods presented:

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Cell therapy | ​ | $15,104 | ​ | $9,494 | ​ | $5,610 | 59% | ​ |
| Drug discovery | ​ | 4,083 | ​ | 3,601 | ​ | 482 | 13% | ​ |
| Program-related | ​ | 2,008 | ​ | 508 | ​ | 1,500 | 295% | ​ |
| Total revenue | ​ | $21,195 | ​ | $13,603 | ​ | $7,592 | 56% | ​ |

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $21.2 million, an increase of $7.6 million, or 56%, compared to revenue of $13.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Our overall increase in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by revenue growth in the cell therapy market, primarily from growing instrument sales and licenses and disposable sales, increases in disposables sales to drug discovery customers and increases in program-related milestone revenue. In the cell therapy market, revenue from instrument sales and licenses of instruments increased by $3.2 million, which was primarily due to continued high levels of capital invested or held in companies operating in our target markets, while disposables sales increased by $2.3 million as a result of the continued progression of our cell therapy partners’ clinical development programs. In the drug discovery market, the $0.5 million increase was driven by sales of disposables. The $1.5 million increase in program-related revenues resulted from expected variability from period to period in the level of program-related revenue given the small number of individual triggering events which currently generate this portion of revenue. We expect program-related revenue to experience variability for some time, although we anticipate that this variability may moderate as the volume of SPLs and associated milestones grows.

### Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- |
| Cost of goods sold | ​ | $2,183 | ​ | $1,478 | ​ | $705 |  | 48% | ​ |
| Gross profit | ​ | $19,012 | ​ | $12,125 | ​ | $6,887 |  | 57% | ​ |
| Gross margin | ​ | ​ 90% | ​ | ​ 89% | ​ | ​ ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ |

Cost of goods sold increased by $0.7 million, or 48%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales of instruments and disposables.

Gross profit increased by $6.9 million, or 57%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by increased revenue from instrument and disposable sales, licensed instruments and program-related revenue.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, gross margin was 90%, compared to 89% in the same period of 2021. The increase in gross margin was principally due to increased milestone revenues, which have no associated cost of goods sold. Excluding program-related revenues, gross margin was materially unchanged.

### Operating Expenses

#### Research and Development

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Research and development | ​ | $8,461 | ​ | $9,280 | ​ | $(819) | (9)% | ​ |

Research and development expenses decreased by $0.8 million, or 9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a $4.3 million decrease in CARMA expenses as a result of the wind-down of CARMA operations, partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in compensation expenses associated with headcount increases, a $1.0 million increase in stock-based compensation, a $0.5 million increase in lab supplies expenses and products development costs, and a $0.2 million increase in travel expenses.

#### Sales and Marketing

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Sales and marketing | ​ | $8,769 | ​ | $5,702 | ​ | $3,067 | 54% | ​ |

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $3.1 million, or 54%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.4 million increase in compensation expenses as a result of increases in headcount and commissions on sales, a $1.1 million increase in marketing and travel expenses, and a $0.5 million increase in stock-based compensation.

#### General and Administrative

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| General and administrative | ​ | $13,735 | ​ | $7,299 | ​ | $6,436 | 88% | ​ |

General and administrative expense increased by $6.4 million, or 88%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a $2.3 million increase in expense associated with the costs of our common stock being listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange including insurance and related legal expenses, a $2.0 million increase in compensation expense associated with headcount and salary increases, a $0.8 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $1.3 million increase in occupancy and other general expenses.

#### Depreciation and Amortization

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Depreciation and amortization | ​ | $945 | ​ | $634 | ​ | $310 | 49% |

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.3 million, or 49%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a significant investment in capital assets made in 2021 for laboratory equipment.

### Interest and Other Income (Expense)

*(in thousands, except percentages)*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Change Amount% ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Interest and other expense | ​ | $— | ​ | $756 | ​ | $(756) | (100)% | ​ |
| Interest and other income | ​ | ​ 571 | ​ | ​ 18 | ​ | ​ 552 | NM | ​ |

Interest and other expense decreased by $0.8 million, or 100%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the repayment of the MidCap loan in March 2021 and the settlement of a warrant in August 2021, which resulted in our no longer incurring interest expense on indebtedness or warrant fair value adjustments. The increase of $0.6 million in interest and other income was primarily driven by significantly higher balance of short-term investments resulting from the IPO proceeds received in August 2021.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have experienced losses and negative cash flows from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred a net loss of $12.3 million. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $126.6 million. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from sales of common stock, including our IPO, as well as borrowings under loan agreements and from revenues associated with sales and licenses of our products to customers. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $240.9 million.

We expect to incur increased near-term operating losses as we continue to invest in expanding our business through growing our sales and marketing efforts, continued research and development, product development and expanding our product offerings. Based on our current business plan, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.

We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

- transaction and capital expenditures necessitated by strategic activities;
- market acceptance of our products;
- the cost and timing of establishing additional sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;
- the cost of our research and development activities and successful development of data supporting use of our products for new applications, and timely launch of new features and products;
- our ability to enter into additional SPLs and licenses for clinical use of our platform in the future;
- changes in the amount of capital available to existing and emerging customers in our target markets;
- the effect of competing technological and market developments; and
- the level of our selling, general and administrative expenses.

If we are unable to execute on our business plan and adequately fund operations, or if the business plan requires a level of spending in excess of cash resources, we will have to seek additional equity or debt financing. If additional financings are required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise such capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, selling or licensing our assets, making product acquisitions, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or our products, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, we may have to delay development or commercialization of future products. We also may have to reduce marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to our existing products.

### Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our uses and sources of cash for the periods presented:

*(in thousands)*

| ​ ​ ​ Net cash provided by (used in): | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ 2021 ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: |
| Operating activities | ​ | $(2,776) | ​ | $(9,029) |
| Investing activities | ​ | 62,944 | ​ | (21,230) |
| Financing activities | ​ | 1,218 | ​ | 48,927 |
| Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | ​ | $61,386 | ​ | $18,668 |

#### Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $2.8 million, and consisted primarily of our net loss of $12.3 million, offset in part by net non-cash expenses of $6.3 million, including stock-based compensation of $5.4 million and depreciation and amortization expenses of $1.0 million. We also had net cash inflows of $3.2 million due to net changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Net changes in our operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily of an increase in the net effect of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $4.1 million, a decrease in prepaid expense and other currents assets of $2.0 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.9 million and an increase in deferred revenue (consisting primarily of unrecognized instrument license revenue) of $0.6 million, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in inventory, a $0.5 million increase in TIA receivable, a $0.5 million increase in accounts receivable and a $0.6 million increase in other assets.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $9.0 million, and consisted primarily of our net loss of $11.5 million, offset in part by net non-cash expenses of $4.3 million, including stock-based compensation of $3.2 million, warrant liability fair value adjustments of $0.4 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.6 million. We also had net cash outflows of $1.7 million due to net changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Net changes in our operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily of an increase in deferred revenue of $1.9 million and an decrease in the net effect of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $0.1 million, partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in long-term prepaid expense (other non-current assets), a $1.0 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $0.5 million increase in accounts receivable, a $0.2 million increase in inventory and a $0.3 million increase in other current assets.

#### Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $62.9 million, which was primarily attributable to maturities of short-term marketable securities of $207.3 million, partially offset by purchases of short-term marketable securities of $131.5 million and capitalized lease-related construction expenses of $11.6 million and purchase of equipment of $1.2 million. Purchases and sales of short-term marketable securities are made as part of ordinary course investing activities in compliance with our investment policy which has as its primary objective preservation of principal.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $21.2 million, which was primarily attributable to net purchases of short-term marketable securities of $20.0 million and purchases of property and equipment of $1.3 million.

#### Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.2 million, which was attributable to the exercise of stock options.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $48.9 million, which was primarily attributable to net proceeds of $51.8 million from the issuance of common stock in financing transactions and proceeds of $2.1 million from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the repayment in full of the MidCap loan of $4.9 million.

### Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our contractual obligations and commitments as of June 30, 2022 consisted exclusively of operating lease obligations. In May, 2021, we entered into an operating lease for new office, lab and warehouse/manufacturing space. The lease for the new facility consists of three phases, with Phase 1 having commenced in December 2021 and Phase 2 having commenced in the first quarter of 2022, and the lease of all phases is estimated to expire on August 31, 2035. We will design and construct the leasehold improvements with the approval of the landlord. The landlord will reimburse us for costs of property improvements up to amounts specified in the lease. The total incremental non-cancellable lease payments under the new lease agreements are $29.6 million through the lease term, which continues until 2035. We expect to be able to fund our obligations under the new lease, both in the short term and in the long term, from cash on hand and operating cash flows.

In June, 2021, we exercised our option to early terminate one of our office space lease arrangements, which occurred in June 2022.

In August 2021, we terminated a finance lease and as of June 30, 2022, we do not have any finance lease obligations.

In June 2022, we agreed with the sublessor of our office space to early terminate the remaining portions of our office, laboratory, manufacturing and other spaces no later than August 2022 instead of the previous expiration date in October 2023.

As of June 30, 2022, operating lease obligations included $0.4 million in payments due under the office leases that are being terminated early.

Purchase orders or contracts for the purchase of supplies and other goods and services are based on our current procurement or development needs and are generally fulfilled by our vendors within short time horizons.

### Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with SEC on March 22, 2022.

### JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an “emerging growth company,” or EGC, under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an EGC can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an EGC can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of the delayed adoption of new and revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same requirements to adopt new or revised accounting standards as private entities. We also intend to rely on other exemptions provided by the JOBS Act, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

We will remain an EGC until the earliest of (i) December 31, 2026, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the previous rolling three-year period, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under SEC rules.

### Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows is disclosed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

## Market risk

As filed, 1,957 characters.

### Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates related primarily to balances of our financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The primary objective of our investment approach is to preserve principal and provide liquidity. As of June 30, 2022, we held money market fund securities of $24.2 million, cash equivalent commercial paper of $80.9 million, short-term commercial paper of $114.3 million, U.S. Treasury securities of $11.9 million and short-term corporate debt of $5.7 million. These financial instruments generate interest income at variable rates. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States. A hypothetical 10% change in the level of market interest rates would not have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

### Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to financial risks as a result of exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and certain foreign currencies and the volatility of these rates. In the normal course of business, we earn revenue primarily denominated in U.S. Dollars as well as in Euros and British Pounds. We incur expenses primarily in U.S. Dollars as well as in Euros, British Pounds and other currencies. Our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. We hold our cash primarily in U.S. Dollars as well as in Euros and British Pounds. We do not expect that foreign currency gains or losses will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations in the foreseeable future. We have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to managing risks relating to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 3,141 characters.

### Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The term

“disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022 at the reasonable assurance level.

### Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

### Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems’ objectives are being met. Further, the design of any system of controls must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of all controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of error or mistake. Control systems can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

## Risk factors

As filed, 946 characters.

Our business is subject to numerous risks. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in this report under the caption “Risk Factors Summary,” in addition to other information contained in this report as well as our other public filings with the SEC from time to time.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022. However, the risk factors described in this report and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any such risks materialize, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects and cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.
