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 condensed 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, 2023 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in included in BIOLASE’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 21, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).

Reverse Stock Split

At a special meeting of BIOLASE stockholders held on July 20, 2023 (the "special meeting"), BIOLASE stockholders approved an amendment to BIOLASE’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), to effect a reverse stock split of BIOLASE common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “common stock”), at a ratio between one-for-two (1:2) and one-for-one hundred (1:100). Immediately after the special meeting, BIOLASE's board of directors (the "Board") approved a one-for-one hundred (1:100) reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the common stock (the “2023 Reverse Stock Split”). On July 26, 2023, BIOLASE filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the 2023 Reverse Stock Split, which became effective on July 27, 2023. The amendment did not change the number of authorized shares of the common stock.

Except as the context otherwise requires, all common stock share numbers, share price amounts (including exercise prices, conversion prices, and closing market prices), shares issued upon the conversion of preferred shares, and shares issued upon the exercise of warrants contained in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 2023 Reverse Stock Split.

Liquidity and Management’s Plans - Going Concern

The Company incurred losses from operations and used cash in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021. The Company’s recurring losses, level of cash used in operations, and potential need for additional capital, along with uncertainties surrounding the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had working capital of approximately $3.6 million. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2024 consisted of approximately $6.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.7 million of net accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of approximately $5.2 million, $6.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.5 million of net accounts receivable. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents since December 31, 2023 was

primarily due to a net loss of $6.5 million and principal payments on our term loan of $0.2 million, partially offset by net proceeds of $5.8 million from the February 2024 public offering and $0.2 million in proceeds from the disposal of property, plant, and equipment.

Additional capital requirements may depend on many factors, including, among other things, the rate at which the Company’s business grows, demands for working capital, manufacturing capacity, and any acquisitions that the Company may pursue. The Company expects that it will be required 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.
