NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company

BIOLASE, Inc., (the “Company”) incorporated in Delaware in 1987, is a biomedical company that develops, manufactures, and markets lasers in dentistry and medicine and also markets and distributes two-dimensional (“2-D”) and three-dimensional (“3-D”) dental imaging equipment, including cone beam digital x-rays and CAD/CAM intra-oral scanners, and in-office, chair-side milling machines and 3-D printers. The Company’s products are focused on technologies that advance the practice of dentistry and medicine.

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, 2013 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, 2014 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, 2013, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2014.

Liquidity and Management’s Plans

The Company suffered recurring losses from operations during the three years ended December 31, 2013. The Company also incurred a loss from operations, a net loss, and used cash in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The available borrowing capacity on the lines of credit with Comerica Bank and the net proceeds from the below mentioned equity offering have been the principal sources of liquidity during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the next twelve months and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of recoverability and classifications of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.

At March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $4.6 million in working capital. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity at March 31, 2014 consisted of approximately $1.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $8.6 million of net accounts receivable, and approximately $2.1 million of available borrowings under two revolving credit facility agreements with Comerica Bank. The credit facilities expired May 1, 2014, and the Company is considering alternative solutions, including potentially entering a new line of credit arrangement and/or issuing equity or debt securities, to mitigate any future liquidity constraints these covenants, restrictions, and maturities may impose on it.

The Company has two revolving credit facility agreements with Comerica Bank that require the Company to maintain compliance with certain monthly financial and non-financial covenants, as defined therein. Any noncompliance with these covenants may result in default interest rates and penalties, and Comerica Bank could declare the amounts outstanding immediately due and payable. On March 4, 2014, the Company received a waiver from Comerica Bank (the “March Waiver”) to waive noncompliance with certain financial and nonfinancial covenants as of January 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In connection with the March Waiver, Comerica Bank reduced the total aggregate available borrowings on the lines of credit to $ 5.0 million. On April 10, 2014, the Company and Comerica Bank finalized a forbearance agreement which addressed the Company’s non-compliance with a financial covenant at February 28, 2014 and reduced the total aggregate available borrowings on the lines of credit to $4 million. The Company was not in compliance with a financial covenant at March 31, 2014 and did not repay the lines of credit in full on May 1, 2014, at which date any remaining borrowings and accrued interest under the lines of credit became due and payable. As a result, on May 5, 2014, the Company and Comerica Bank agreed to Amendment No. 1 to Forbearance Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) which extended the end of the forbearance period from May 1, 2014 to June 1, 2014. In connection with Amendment No. 1, the maturity date of the revolving lines of credit was extended to June 1, 2014 and the Company paid a fee of $10,000.

In order for the Company to continue operations and be able to discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, the Company must sell its products directly to end-users and through distributors, establish profitable operations through increased sales, decrease expenses, and generate cash from operations or obtain additional funds when needed. The Company intends to improve its financial condition and ultimately improve its financial results by increasing revenues through expansion of its product offerings, continuing to expand and develop its direct sales force and distributor relationships both domestically and internationally, forming strategic arrangements within the dental and medical industries, educating dental and medical patients as to the benefits of its advanced medical technologies, and reducing expenses.

On February 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Oracle Partners L.P., Oracle Institutional Partners, L.P., and Oracle Ten Fund Master L.P., under which the Company offered an aggregate of 1,945,525 unregistered shares of common stock in a private placement at a price of $2.57 per share. Gross proceeds from the sale totaled $5 million, and net proceeds, after offering expenses of approximately $208,000, totaled approximately $4.8 million. The Company used the proceeds to repay the Company’s lines of credit and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In February 2014, the Company streamlined operations and reduced payroll and payroll related expenses by approximately $1.3 million, net, on an annualized basis.The Company is also working on rationalizing certain of its marketing and advertising activities. We expect that we will begin to realize the impact of these cost saving measures in the quarter ending June 30, 2014.

On January 17, 2014, the Company filed a universal shelf registration statement (the “January 2014 Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register an indeterminate number of shares of common stock, preferred stock, and warrants with a total offering price not to exceed $12.5 million. The January 2014 Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on January 29, 2014.

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. 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 enter into any such equity, debt, or hybrid 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.

The Company intends to improve its financial condition and ultimately improve its financial results by increasing revenues through expansion of its product offerings, continuing to develop its direct sales force and distributor relationships both domestically and internationally, forming strategic arrangements within the dental and medical industries, educating dental and medical patients as to the benefits of its advanced medical technologies, and continuing cost reduction initiatives.

The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to increase sales, reduce expenses, or obtain additional funds when needed. If the Company is unable to increase sales, reduce expenses, or raise sufficient additional capital, it may be unable to continue to fund its operations, develop its products, or realize value from its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
