NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company

BIOLASE, Inc., (the “Company”) incorporated in Delaware in 1987, is a biomedical company operating in one reportable business segment that develops, manufactures, and markets lasers in dentistry and medicine and also markets and distributes dental imaging equipment, including cone beam digital x-rays and CAD/CAM intra-oral scanners.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIOLASE, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared on a basis consistent with the December 31, 2012 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. These unaudited, interim, 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. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations.

The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (“2012 Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2013.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include allowances on accounts receivable, inventory, and deferred taxes, as well as estimates for accrued warranty expenses, indefinite-lived intangible assets, and the ability of goodwill to be realized, revenue deferrals for multiple element arrangements, effects of stock-based compensation and warrants, contingent liabilities and the provision or benefit for income taxes. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ materially from those estimates.

Update to Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies which are described in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K, except as noted below. See Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements for adoption of updated authoritative guidance.

Excise Tax

Commencing January 1, 2013, certain of the Company’s product sales are subject to the newly enacted medical device excise tax. The Company has included such taxes separately as a component of operating expense.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. Financial instruments consisting of lines of credit approximate fair value, as the interest rates associated with the lines of credit approximates the market rates for debt securities with similar terms and risk characteristics.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (referred to as the “exit price”). The fair value should be based on assumptions that market participants would use, including a consideration of nonperformance risk. Level 1 measurement of fair value is quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Liquidity and Management’s Plans

The Company suffered recurring losses from operations during the three years ended December 31, 2012. Although the Company’s revenues increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, the Company still incurred a loss from operations and a net loss. At March 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $5.2 million in working capital. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity at March 31, 2013 consisted of approximately $1.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $10.6 million of net accounts receivable, and $4.7 million of available borrowings under two revolving credit facility agreements.

The Company intends to improve its financial condition and ultimately improve its financial results by increasing revenues through expansion of its product offerings and continued development of its direct sales force and distributor relationships both domestically and internationally. Furthermore, to improve liquidity, management amended the Company’s lines of credit increasing the combined aggregate capacity of borrowings to $10.0 million; see Note 13 – Subsequent Events for further discussion. Management expects that the working capital and borrowings available under the lines of credit should be sufficient to fund the requirements of the Company. Management continues to monitor the liquidity of the Company and is prepared to implement cash saving measures in the event that its plans to grow revenue do not materialize in the timeline anticipated by management.
