NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company

BIOLASE, Inc. (“BIOLASE” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading provider of advanced laser systems for the dental industry. The Company develops, manufactures, markets, and sells laser systems that provide significant benefits for dental practitioners and their patients. The Company’s proprietary systems allow dentists, periodontists, endodontists, pediatric dentists, oral surgeons, and other dental specialists to perform a broad range of minimally invasive dental procedures, including cosmetic, restorative, and complex surgical applications. The Company’s laser systems are designed to provide clinically superior results for many types of dental procedures compared to those achieved with drills, scalpels, and other conventional instruments. Potential patient benefits include less pain, fewer shots, faster healing, decreased fear and anxiety, and fewer appointments. Potential practitioner benefits include improved patient care and the ability to perform a higher volume and wider variety of procedures and generate more patient referrals.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIOLASE and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared on a basis consistent with the December 31, 2021 audited consolidated financial statements and include all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and the elimination of all material intercompany transactions and balances, necessary to fairly present the information set forth therein. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the footnotes, presentations, and disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, included in BIOLASE’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

Except as the context otherwise requires, all common stock share numbers, share price amounts (including exercise prices, conversion prices, and closing market prices), and warrant numbers contained in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto reflect the one-for-25 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) effectuated by the Company on April 28, 2022. See Note 15 below for additional details.

Liquidity and Management’s Plans

The Company incurred losses from operations and used cash in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had working capital of approximately $30.7 million. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2022 consisted of approximately $21.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.2 million of net accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of approximately $35.5 million, $30.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.2 million of net accounts receivable. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents since December 31, 2021 was primarily due to a net loss of $4.8 million and net decreases in operating assets and liabilities of $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Additional capital requirements may depend on many factors, including, among other things, the rate at which the Company’s business grows, the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken to contain it, demands for working capital, manufacturing capacity, and any acquisitions that the Company may pursue. From time to time, the Company could be required, or may otherwise attempt, to raise capital through either equity or debt offerings. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to successfully enter into any such equity or debt financings in the future or that the required capital would be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that any such financing activity would not be dilutive to its’ stockholders.

COVID-19 Risk and Uncertainties

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global economic activity, and many countries and many states in the United States have reacted to the pandemic by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. These mandated business closures included dental office closures worldwide, in large part, for all but emergency procedures. As these quarantines and restrictions began to be lifted in 2021, the Company's sales began to return to pre-pandemic levels. However, there are

still uncertainties regarding the ongoing and future effects of COVID-19, and there is no assurance that the Company's sales will not be further impacted in 2022 or at any time thereafter.

 

Cyber Incident

In December 2021, the Company experienced a cybersecurity attack that caused a brief network disruption and impacted certain systems. Upon detection, the Company took immediate steps to address the incident, engaged third-party experts, and notified law enforcement. The Company has taken actions to strengthen its existing systems and implement additional prevention measures. The Company will continue to monitor and assess as needed. All liabilities were fully insured, and as of December 31, 2021 the Company recorded an accrued liability and an insurance receivable within prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.4 million. In March 2022 the Company received the cash reimbursement from its insurance provider.
