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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 incurred a loss from operations, a net loss, and used cash in operating activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company has also suffered recurring losses from operations during the three years ended December 31, 2013. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the principle sources of liquidity for the Company have been its available borrowing capacity on the lines of credit with Comerica Bank and the net proceeds from the February 10, 2014 and July 22, 2014 sale by the Company of $4.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively, of unregistered shares of common stock discussed below.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had working capital of approximately $7.3 million. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity at September 30, 2014 consisted of approximately $2.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $9.3 million of net accounts receivable.

On November 3, 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with several institutional and individual investors, and certain of its directors and officers, under which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 14,162,873 unregistered shares of its common stock at the price of $2.39 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on November 3, 2014, and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,205,862 unregistered shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. Gross proceeds from the sale were $35 million. The warrants become exercisable on May 7, 2015, six months after the closing of the private placement, and have a term of three years from the date of issuance. In connection with the transaction, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file within 30 days of the closing a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of both the shares and the shares underlying the warrants issued at the closing. The proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
