NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company

BIOLASE, Inc. (“BIOLASE” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a medical device company that develops, manufactures, markets, and sells laser systems in dentistry and medicine. The Company’s products advance the practice of dentistry and medicine for patients and health care professionals. The Company’s proprietary dental laser systems allow dentists, periodontists, endodontists, 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. The Company has clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to market and sell its laser systems in the United States and also have the necessary registration to market and sell its laser systems in Canada, the European Union, and many other countries outside the United States.

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, 2019 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.

The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 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, 2019, included in BIOLASE’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2020 (the “2019 Form 10-K”).

Liquidity and Management’s Plans

The Company incurred a loss from operations and a net loss, and used cash in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company’s recurring losses, level of cash used in operations, and 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.

Fourth Amendment to the SWK Loan

As of December 31, 2019, the Company was not in compliance with certain of its loan covenants under the Term Loan (as defined below). On March 25, 2020 the Company and SWK Funding, LLC entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement and granted the Company a waiver of such covenants through March 31, 2020. The Fourth Amendment included revisions to the financial covenants and to the warrant price for the SWK warrants. See Note 9 for additional information.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s continued inability to meet debt covenants in addition to the uncertainties surrounding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, the Company is not forecasting compliance with its debt covenants in the next twelve months and has classified the Term Loan with SWK Funding, LLC (the “Term Loan”) as a short-term liability.

7

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $3.7 million. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2020 consisted of approximately $1.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $4.7 million of accounts receivable, net.  

In order for the Company to continue operations beyond the next 12 months and be able to discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, the Company must increase sales of its products, control or potentially reduce expenses and establish profitable operations in order to generate cash from operations or obtain additional funds when needed.

Additional capital requirements may depend on many factors, including, among other things, the rate at which the Company’s business grows, the extent of the Company’s revenue from ventilator sales, 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 and CARES Act

Additionally, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to the coronavirus outbreak. This outbreak has severely impacted global economic activity, tax and many countries and many states in the United States have reacted to the outbreak by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. These mandated business closures have included dental office closures in Europe and the United States for all but emergency procedures. Our salespeople have been unable to call on dental customers during these closures. In addition, most dental shows and workshops scheduled in the first and second quarters of 2020 have been canceled. There is no assurance that sales will return to normal levels during the second quarter of 2020 or at any time thereafter.  However, the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve and it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce and have taken actions to mitigate the impact including among other things, temporary reductions in pay, furloughs of certain positions along with deferrals in payment for cash preservation. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.

We continue to examine the impact that the CARES Act may have on our business. Currently, we are unable to determine the impact that the CARES Act will have on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan (“PPP Loan”)

On April 14, 2020, Biolase, Inc., was granted a loan from Pacific Mercantile Bank in the aggregate amount of $2,980,000.00, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020.

8

The PPP Loan, which was in the form of a Note dated April 13, 2020 issued by the Company, matures on April 13, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2020. The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP Loan may only be used for payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. The Company intends to use the entire PPP Loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the PPP Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.

The application for these funds requires the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on our future adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“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, goodwill and the ability of goodwill to be realized, revenue deferrals, 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

Information with respect to the Company’s critical accounting policies, which management believes could have the most significant effect on the Company’s reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the 2019 Form 10-K. Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020 in the Company’s critical accounting policies from those disclosed in Item 7 of the 2019 Form 10-K.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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 is based on assumptions that market participants would use, including a consideration of non-performance risk. Under the accounting guidance for fair value hierarchy, there are three levels of measurement inputs. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable due to little or no corroborating market data.

9

The Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and the SWK Loan as discussed in Note 9, approximate fair value because of the nature of these items.

Concentration of Credit Risk, Interest Rate Risk and Foreign Currency Exchange Rate

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with established commercial banks. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. To minimize the risk associated with trade accounts receivable, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and maintains relationships with the Company’s customers that allow management to monitor current changes in business operations so the Company can respond as needed. The Company does not, generally, require customers to provide collateral before it sells them its products. However, the Company has required certain distributors to make prepayments for significant purchases of products.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars, including sales to international distributors. Only a small portion of its revenue and expenses is denominated in foreign currencies, principally the Euro and Indian Rupee. The Company’s foreign currency expenditures primarily consist of the cost of maintaining offices, consulting services, and employee-related costs. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not enter into any hedging contracts. Future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the price competitiveness of the Company’s products outside the U.S.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined not to be applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform. This ASU was issued because the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is a benchmark interest rate referenced in a variety of agreements that are used by all types of entities. At the end of 2021, banks will no longer be required to report information that is used to determine LIBOR. As a result, LIBOR could be discontinued. Other interest rates used globally could also be discontinued for similar reasons. ASU 2020-04 provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. Companies can apply the ASU immediately. However, the guidance will only be available for a limited time (generally through December 31, 2022). The Company is currently evaluating alternative benchmark rates to replace LIBOR and is still in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard’s main goal is to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope and to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

Contracts with Customers

Revenue for sales of products and services is derived from contracts with customers. The products and services promised in customer contracts include delivery of laser systems, imaging systems, and consumables as well as certain ancillary services such as training and extended warranties. Contracts with each customer generally state the terms of the sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service. Payment terms are stated in the contract and vary according to the arrangement. Because the customer typically agrees to a stated rate and price in the contract that does not vary over the life of the contract, the Company’s contracts do not contain variable consideration. The Company establishes a provision for estimated warranty expense.

Performance Obligations

At contract inception, the Company assesses the products and services promised in its contracts with customers. The Company then identifies performance obligations to transfer distinct products or services to the customers. In order to identify performance obligations, the Company considers all of the products or services promised in contracts regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a single point in time accounted for 74% and 84% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The majority of the Company’s revenue recognized at a point in time is for the sale laser systems, imaging systems, and consumables. Revenue from these contracts is recognized when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the product which generally coincides with title transfer during the shipping process.

Revenue from services transferred to customers over time accounted for 26% and 16% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The majority of the Company’s revenue that is recognized over time relates to product training and extended warranties. Deferred revenue attributable to undelivered elements, which primarily consists of product training, totaled approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Transaction Price Allocation

The transaction price for a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in a contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the observable price when the good or service is sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers.

Significant Judgments

Revenue is recorded for extended warranties over time as the customer benefits from the warranty coverage. This revenue will be recognized equally throughout the contract period as the customer receives benefits from the Company's promise to provide such services. Revenue is recorded for product training as the customer attends a training program or upon the expiration of the obligation, which is generally after nine months.

The Company also has contracts that include both the product sales and product training as performance obligations. In those cases, the Company records revenue for product sales at the point in time when the product has been shipped. The customer obtains control of the product when it is shipped, as all shipments are made FOB shipping point, and after the customer selects its shipping method and pays all shipping costs and insurance. The Company has concluded that control is transferred to the customer upon shipment.

11

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an analysis of customer accounts and the Company’s historical experience with accounts receivable write-offs.

Contract Liabilities

The Company performs its obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and/or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. The Company typically invoices its customers as soon as control of an asset is transferred and a receivable for the Company is established. The Company, however, recognizes a contract liability when a customer prepays for goods and/or services and the Company has not transferred control of the goods and/or services. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

The balance of contract assets was immaterial as the Company did not have a significant amount of uninvoiced receivables at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that was included in the opening contract liability balance related to undelivered elements was $0.1 million and related to extended warranty contracts was $1.0 million.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. The Company determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by regional economic factors.

The Company’s revenues related to the following geographic areas were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

12

Information regarding revenues disaggregated by the timing of when goods and services are transferred is as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s sales by end market were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

The Company acts as the principal in all its imaging equipment distribution sales. The Company takes possession and control of the equipment before they are sold and transferred to the customer. The Company provides the equipment and any related services directly to the customer. The Company has inventory risk before the equipment is transferred to a customer. The Company purchases and obtains the goods before obtaining a contract with a customer. The Company also has discretion in establishing the price sold to the customer for the equipment.

The revenue and percentages of revenue of the Company’s sales by product line were as follows for the periods indicated:

Shipping and Handling Costs and Revenues

Shipping and freight costs are treated as fulfillment costs. For shipments to end-customers, the customer bears the shipping and freight costs and has control of the product upon shipment. For shipments to distributors, the distributor bears the shipping and freight costs, including insurance, tariffs and other import/export costs.

NOTE 4—REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS’ (DEFICIT) EQUITY

Redeemable Preferred Stock

The board of directors of Biolase (the “Board”), without further stockholder authorization, may from time to time authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock. Of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, 500,000 shares are designated as Series B Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock. In 2019, the Company sold Series E Convertible Preferred Shares in a private offering and as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 69,565 of these shares were issued and outstanding.

The shares of Series E Preferred Stock automatically convert into shares of Common Stock upon receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series E Participating Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares of Series E Preferred Stock have no other conversion rights.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, customary indemnification obligations of the Company and the Investors, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, and other obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The shares of Series E Preferred Stock were offered in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act afforded by Regulation D and corresponding provisions of state securities laws. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file, within 30 days following receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series E Preferred Stock.

Stock-Based Compensation

2002 Stock Incentive Plan

The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended effective as of May 26, 2004, November 15, 2005, May 16, 2007, May 5, 2011, June 6, 2013, October 30, 2014, April 27, 2015, and May 6, 2016, the “2002 Plan”) was replaced by the 2018 Plan (as defined below) with respect to future equity awards. Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2002 Plan included officers, employees, and directors of the Company, as well as consultants. As of March 31, 2020, a total of approximately 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been authorized for issuance under the 2002 Plan, of which approximately 1.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been issued pursuant to options that were exercised and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that were settled in common stock and 1.2 million shares of common stock have been reserved for outstanding options and unvested RSUs, and no shares are available for future grants.

2018 Stock Incentive Plan

At the 2018 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2018 Plan”) which was amended by Amendment No. 1 to the 2018 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting on September 21, 2018 and Amendment No. 2 to the 2018 Plan, as approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 15, 2019. The purposes of the 2018 Plan are (i) to align the interests of the Company’s stockholders and recipients of awards under the 2018 Plan by increasing the proprietary interest of such recipients in the Company’s growth and success; (ii) to advance the interests of the Company by attracting and retaining non-employee directors, officers, other employees, consultants, independent contractors and agents; and (iii) to motivate such persons to act in the long-term best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2018 Plan, the number of shares authorized for grants under the 2018 Plan is 5.0 million. As of March 31, 2020, a total 2.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for outstanding options and unvested RSUs, and 0.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock remain available for future grants.

14

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million and $0.8 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, based on the grant-date fair value. The net impact of stock-based compensation expense to earnings was $(0.02), and $(0.04) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $1.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements. The Company expects that expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

The following table summarizes the income statement classification of compensation expense associated with share-based payments (in thousands):

The stock option fair values were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Cash proceeds, along with fair value disclosures related to grants, exercises and vested options are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Restricted Stock Units

There were no material grants made during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and the Company canceled approximately 840,000 grants with performance based vesting due to non achievement of the performance targets.

A summary of unvested RSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

16

Warrants

The Company issues warrants to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock as approved by the Board. A summary of warrant activity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is as follows (in thousands, except exercise price amounts):

See Note 9 for additional information on the Western Alliance Warrants, the SWK Warrants, and the DPG Warrants (each as defined below).

Net Loss Per Share – Basic and Diluted

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding for the period. In computing diluted net loss per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive securities.

Outstanding stock options, RSUs and warrants to purchase approximately 3.4 million shares were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the same 2019 periods, anti-dilutive outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase 5.7 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share.

NOTE 5—INVENTORY

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and is comprised of the following (in thousands):

Inventory has been reduced by estimates for excess and obsolete amounts totaling $1.3 million and $1.3 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

17

NOTE 6—PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant, and equipment, net is comprised of the following (in thousands):

Depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant, and equipment totaled $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 7—INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

The Company conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill as of June 30, 2019 and determined that there was no impairment. The Company also tests its intangible assets and goodwill between the annual impairment tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company or its assets below their carrying amounts. For intangible assets subject to amortization, the Company performs its impairment test when indicators, such as reductions in demand or significant economic slowdowns, are present. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, the Company performed an assessment at March 31, 2020 which resulted in no impairment required.  Beyond the impact of COVID-19, no events have occurred since June 30, 2019 through the date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements that would trigger further impairment testing of the Company’s intangible assets and goodwill.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had goodwill (indefinite life) of $2.9 million. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all intangible assets have been fully amortized and no amortization expense was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

NOTE 8—ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities are comprised of the following (in thousands):

18

Lines of Credit

Pacific Mercantile Bank

On October 28, 2019, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Pacific Mercantile Bank, as lender (the “Lender”), which provides for a revolving line of credit (the “PMB Loan”) in a maximum principal amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) $3 million or (ii) the sum of 90% of the Eligible Accounts (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus 75% of the Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Loan Agreement, and subject to certain limitations set forth therein); provided that the maximum principal amount of the PMB Loan may be reduced from time to time in the Lender’s good faith business judgment as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Borrowings under the PMB Loan may be used for working capital. The PMB Loan matures on October 28, 2021, unless earlier terminated.

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s property. No borrowings may be made under the Loan Agreement unless and until Exim Bank agrees to guarantee the PMB Loan and the Company has entered into a borrower agreement with Exim Bank.

Borrowings under the PMB Loan bear interest at a daily rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal, plus 1.5% per annum; provided, that the interest rate in effect on any day shall not be less than 6.0% per annum. Additionally, the Company was required to pay an initial fee and is required to pay an annual fee of $52,500 as well as a termination fee equal to $30,000 in the event the Loan Agreement is terminated on or prior to October 28, 2020.

19

The Loan Agreement requires the Company to maintain unrestricted cash at the Lender plus unused availability under the PMB Loan in an amount equal to at least the Burn Rate. “Burn Rate” means the Company’s net profit/net loss plus depreciation plus amortization plus stock-based compensation, measured on a trailing three month basis. In addition, the Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for financings of its type (subject to customary exceptions).

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and unused availability under this credit facility of  $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2020.

In April 2020, the Company drew $3.0 million under the PMB Loan. Additional information is discussed in Note 15 – Subsequent Events.

Term Loan

On November 9, 2018, the Company entered into a five-year secured Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”), pursuant to which the Company has borrowed $12.5 million (“SWK Loan”). The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, repayment of the loan is interest-only for the first two years, paid quarterly with the option to extend the interest-only period. Principal repayments will begin in the first quarter of 2021 and will be approximately $0.7 million quarterly until the loan matures in the fourth quarter of 2023. The loan bears interest at the London Interbank Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 10% or another index that approximates LIBOR as close as possible if and when LIBOR no longer exists. Approximately $0.9 million of the proceeds from the SWK Loan were used to pay off all amounts owed to Western Alliance Bank under the business financing agreement entered into in 2018.

The Credit Agreement contains financial and non-financial covenants requiring the Company to, among other things, (i) maintain unencumbered liquid assets of (A) no less than $1.5 million or (B) the sum of aggregate cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, (ii) achieve certain revenue and EBITDA levels during the first two years of the loan, (iii) limit future borrowing, investments and dividends, and (iv) submit monthly and quarterly financial reporting.

In connection with the SWK Loan, the Company paid approximately $1.0 million in debt issuance costs, including a $0.2 million loan origination fee, a $0.4 million finder’s fee, and $0.4 million in legal and other fees. These costs were recognized as a discount on the SWK Loan and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the loan term which approximates the effective-interest method.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants in the Credit Agreement and in May 2019, SWK granted the Company a waiver of such covenants. On May 7, 2019, the Company and SWK agreed to amend the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment) to increase the total commitment from $12.5 million to $15.0 million, and to revise the financial covenants to (a) adjust minimum revenue and EBITDA levels, (b) require the Company to have a shelf registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission before September 30, 2019, with a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of at least $10.0 million if the Company did not reach set minimum revenue levels for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, and (c) require minimum liquidity of $1.5 million at all times. The First Amendment provided that if aggregate minimum revenue and EBITDA levels were not achieved by September 30, 2019, the minimum liquidity requirement would be increased to $3.0 million, until the Company has obtained additional equity or debt funding of no less than $5.0 million. In 2019, the Company obtained additional equity financing greater than $5.0 million. The Company borrowed the additional $2.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.

In connection with the amendment, the Company paid to SWK loan origination and other fees of approximately $0.1 million payable in cash and approximately $0.2 million in additional SWK Warrants (as defined below) to purchase the Company’s common stock. The Company paid an additional finder’s fee to Deal Partners Group (“DPG”) of approximately $0.1 million in cash and $0.1 million in additional DPG Warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. The Company accounted for the First Amendment as a modification to existing debt and as a result, recognized the amounts paid to SWK in cash and warrants as additional debt issuance costs.

20

On September 30, 2019, BIOLASE, Inc entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with SWK, in connection with that certain Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, SWK, and the lender parties thereto.  The Second Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to provide for a permitted inventory and accounts receivable revolving loan facility, secured by a first lien security interest in the Company’s inventory and accounts receivable, with a maximum principal amount of $5 million and with such other material terms and conditions acceptable to SWK in its commercially reasonable discretion. In addition, SWK agreed to waive the effect of the Company’s non-compliance with certain unencumbered liquid assets financial operating covenants as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and SWK agreed to forbear from exercising rights and remedies otherwise available to it in the event of such non-compliance through October 31, 2019, or earlier in the event that an additional equity or subordinated debt financing is consummated with gross proceeds of not less than $5 million, or in the event of a default under the Credit Agreement.

On November 6, 2019, the Company agreed to further amend the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, SWK granted the Company a waiver of the Company’s non-compliance with certain financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. Also pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Company and SWK agreed to (i) revise financial covenants to adjust minimum revenue and EBITDA levels and (ii) remove the automatic increase of the minimum liquidity requirement based on certain aggregate minimum revenue and EBITDA levels as of September 30, 2019 (which was added pursuant to the First Amendment). In connection with the Third Amendment, the Company consolidated the SWK Warrants issued to SWK on November 9, 2018 and May 7, 2019. The price was adjusted to $1.00 and the impact of this was de minimis.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company was not in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement, as amended, and on March 25, 2020, the Company agreed to further amend the Credit Agreement (“Fourth Amendment”). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, SWK granted the Company a waiver of the Company’s non-compliance with certain financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement through March 31, 2020. Also pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the Company and SWK agreed to (i) revise financial covenants to adjust minimum revenue and EBITDA levels and (ii) revise the financial covenant with respect to required unencumbered liquid assets.

The Company does not anticipate it will regain compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement by June 30, 2020 due to the uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 on its business. Therefore the Term Loan is classified as a current liability in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recognized approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million in interest expense for the three months ending March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  The weighted-average interest rate as of March 31, 2020 was 12.25%.  

Western Alliance Warrants

On March 6, 2018, the Company issued to Western Alliance warrants (the “Original Western Alliance Warrants”) to purchase up to the number of shares of common stock equal to $120,000 divided by the applicable exercise price at the time such warrants are exercised. The Original Western Alliance Warrants are fully vested and exercisable. The Original Western Alliance Warrants may be exercised with a cash payment from Western Alliance, or, in lieu of a cash payment, Western Alliance may convert the warrants into a number of shares, in whole or in part. The initial exercise price of the warrants was $2.35 per share. On September 27, 2018, the Company entered into the Second Modification Agreement to amend the Original Business Financing Agreement. In connection with the Second Modification Agreement, the Original Western Alliance Warrants were terminated, and the Company issued new warrants (the “Western Alliance Warrants”) to purchase up to the number of shares of common stock equal to $120,000 divided by the exercise price of $2.13, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 27, 2018. The Western Alliance Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on September 27, 2028. These warrants contain down-round features that require the Company to adjust the exercise price proportionately should the Company issue shares at a price per share less than the exercise price. 

21

SWK Warrants

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants to SWK (the “SWK Warrants”) on November 9, 2018, to purchase up to 372,023 shares of the Company’s common stock. The SWK Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on November 9, 2026. The exercise price of the SWK Warrants is $1.34, which was the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding November 9, 2018. These warrants contain down-round features that require the Company to adjust the exercise price proportionately should the Company issue shares at a price per share less than the exercise price. The fair value of the SWK Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected term of 8 years; volatility of 81.79%; annual dividend per share of $0.00; and risk-free interest rate of 3.13%; and resulted in an estimated fair value of $0.4 million.  

In November 2019, these warrants were consolidated and the strike price was adjusted to $1.00, and in March 2020, the strike price was adjusted a second time to $0.49.  The impact of both reprice events was de minimis to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

DPG Warrants

In connection with the SWK Loan, the Company paid a finder’s fee to Deal Partners Group of $0.4 million cash and issued warrants to purchase up to 279,851 shares of common stock (the “DPG Warrants”). The DPG Warrants were issued on November 14, 2018, were exercisable immediately, and expire on November 9, 2026. The exercise price of the DPG Warrants is $1.34 which was the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding November 9, 2018. These warrants contain down-round features that require the Company to adjust the exercise price proportionately should the Company issue shares at a price per share less than the exercise price. The fair value of the DPG Warrants of $0.3 million was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected term of 8 years; volatility of 81.79%; annual dividend per share of $0.00; and risk-free interest rate of 3.13%. In November 2019, the exercise price of the DPG Warrants issued on November 9, 2018 was adjusted from $1.34 per share to $0.8767 per share and the exercise price of the DPG Warrants issued on May, 2019 was adjusted from $2.17 per share to $1.4197 per share. The impact of the reprice was de minimis to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The value of both the SWK Warrants and the DPG Warrants was recognized as a discount on the SWK Loan and are being amortized on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective-interest method, over the loan term of five years. Additionally, based on the adoption of ASU 2017-11 in the fourth quarter of 2018, these warrants are classified as equity in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020.

The future minimum principal and interest payments as of March 31, 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 10— LEASES

The Company enters into operating leases primarily for real estate, office equipment, and fleet vehicles. Lease terms generally range from one to five years, and often include options to renew for one year. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842, using the modified-retrospective approach as discussed in Note 2, and as a result recognized a right-of-use asset of approximately $0.8 million as adjusted for deferred rent at the date of adoption of $0.2 million, and a lease liability of approximately $1.0 million. No cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings was required upon adoption of Topic 842. Right-of-use assets are recorded in Prepaid and other assets and lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities or Other liabilities depending on whether they are current or noncurrent. Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to determine the present value of the lease payments and on the date of adoption, the Company determined its IBR to be 12.78%. This rate was based on the Company’s financing of the SWK Loan which is a collateralized loan, and was based on prevailing market rates during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Information related to the Company’s right-of-use assets and related liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

The Company allocates lease cost amongst lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases (those with lease terms of less than one year at inception) from the measurement of lease liabilities or right-of-use assets.

Maturities of lease liabilities as of March 31, 2020 for leases that have commenced were as follows (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2020, right-of-use assets were $0.1 million and lease liabilities were $0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company entered into two new real property leases which will commence in July 1, 2020.  The Company expects to recognize a right-of-use asset and an offsetting lease liability in the amount of $1.8 million in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet upon lease commencement.

Future minimum rental commitments under lease agreements, as of March 31, 2020, with non-cancelable terms greater than one year for each of the years ending December 31 are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 11— COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On April 24, 2012, CAO Group, Inc. (“CAO”) filed a lawsuit against BIOLASE in the District of Utah alleging that BIOLASE’s ezlase dental laser infringes on U.S. Patent No. 7,485,116 (the “116 Patent”). On September 9, 2012, CAO amended its complaint, adding claims for (1) business disparagement/injurious falsehood under common law and (2) unfair competition under 15 U.S.C. Section 1125(a). The additional claims stem from a press release that BIOLASE issued on April 30, 2012, which CAO claims contained false statements that are disparaging to CAO and its diode product. The amended complaint sought injunctive relief, treble damages, attorneys’ fees, punitive damages, and interest. Until January 24, 2018, this lawsuit was stayed in connection with United States Patent and Trademark Office proceedings relating to the 116 Patent, which proceedings ultimately culminated in a January 27, 2017 decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, affirming the findings of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, which were generally favorable to the Company. On January 25, 2018, CAO moved for leave to file a second amended complaint to add certain claims, which filing the Company is not opposing.

On January 23, 2018, CAO filed a lawsuit against BIOLASE in the Central District of California alleging that BIOLASE’s diode lasers infringe on U.S. Patent Nos. 8,337,097, 8,834,497, 8,961,040 and 8,967,883. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, treble damages, attorneys’ fees, punitive damages, and interest.

On January 25, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), BIOLASE entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with CAO. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, CAO agreed to dismiss with prejudice the lawsuits filed by CAO against the Company in April 2012 and January 2018. In addition, CAO granted to the Company and its affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as provided in the Settlement Agreement), royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide license to the licensed patents for use in the licensed products and agreed not to sue the Company, its affiliates or any of its manufacturers, distributors, suppliers or customers for use of the licensed patents in the licensed products, and the parties agreed to a mutual release of claims. The Company agreed (i) to pay to CAO, within five days of the Effective Date, $500,000 in cash, (ii) to issue to CAO, within 30 days of the Effective Date, 500,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Stock Consideration”), and (iii) to pay to CAO, within 30 days of December 31, 2021, an amount in cash equal to the difference (if positive) between $1,000,000 and the value of the Stock Consideration on December 31, 2021. The Stock Consideration vests and becomes transferrable on December 31, 2021, subject to the terms of a restricted stock agreement to be entered into between the parties. The Company considered this a Type I subsequent event and recognized a $1.5 million contingent loss on patent litigation settlement in its statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. In January 2019, the Company paid CAO $500,000 in cash. On January 31, 2019, the case was dismissed with prejudice. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded an additional loss on patent litigation of $0.2 million which represented the change in fair value of the restricted stock to be issued to CAO at March 31, 2019. Subsequent to March 31,2019, the Company reversed the additional loss commensurate with the fluctuations in the Company’s share price. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the accrued liability relating to this agreement was $1.0 million.

NOTE 12—SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company currently operates in a single business segment. Management uses one measurement of profitability and does not segregate its business for internal reporting. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, sales to customers in the United States accounted for approximately 65% of net revenue and international sales accounted for approximately 35% of net revenue, respectively. No individual country, other than the United States, represented more than 10% of total net revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

Net revenue by geographic location based on the location of customers was as follows (in thousands):  

Property, plant, and equipment by geographic location was as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 13—CONCENTRATIONS

Revenue from the Company’s products for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

No individual customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent accounts with established commercial banks. Such cash deposits periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

One individual customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Company currently purchases certain key components of its products from single suppliers. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers of these key components, management believes that other suppliers could provide similar key components on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause delays in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

25

NOTE 14—INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Management evaluates the need to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based upon the amount of existing temporary differences, the period in which they are expected to be recovered, and expected levels of taxable income. A valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets is established when it is “more likely than not” that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the Company’s net losses in prior years, management has determined that a full valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax assets is appropriate.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties as a component of its income tax provision. With respect to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including related estimates of penalties and interest, the Company did not record a liability for unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company does not expect any changes to its unrecognized tax benefit for the next 12 months that would materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $19,000 and a provision of $15,000, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively. The income tax provisions for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were calculated using the discrete year-to-date method. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the existence of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and current liabilities resulting from the estimated state income tax liabilities and foreign tax liability.

NOTE 15—SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 14, 2020, Biolase, Inc., was granted a loan from Pacific Mercantile Bank in the aggregate amount of $2,980,000, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020.

The PPP Loan, which was in the form of a Note dated April 13, 2020 issued by the Company, matures on April 13, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2020. The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP Loan may only be used for payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. The Company intends to use the entire Loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, amounts spent on authorized purchases over eight weeks after receiving the loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.

The application for these funds requires the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on our future adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

Revolving Credit Facility

In April 2020, the Company borrowed $3.0 million under the PMB Loan.

Overview

We are a leading provider of advanced laser systems for the dental industry. We develop, manufacture, market, and sell laser systems that provide significant benefits for dental practitioners and their patients. Our proprietary systems allow dentists, periodontists, endodontists, oral surgeons, and other dental specialists to perform a broad range of minimally invasive dental procedures, including cosmetic, restorative, and complex surgical applications. Our 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.

We offer two categories of laser system products: Waterlase (all-tissue) systems and diode (soft-tissue) systems. Our flagship brand, the Waterlase, uses a patented combination of water and laser energy and is FDA cleared for over 80 clinical indications to perform most procedures currently performed using drills, scalpels, and other traditional dental instruments for cutting soft and hard tissue. For example, Waterlase safely debrides implants without damaging or significantly affecting surface temperature and is the only effective, safe solution to preserving sick implants. In addition, Waterlase disinfects root canals more efficiently than some traditional chemical methods. We also offer our diode laser systems to perform soft tissue, pain therapy, and cosmetic procedures, including teeth whitening. As of March 31, 2020 we have approximately 261 issued and 52 pending United States and international patents, the majority of which are related to Waterlase technology. From 1998 through March 31, 2020, we sold over 41,200 laser systems in over 80 countries around the world. Contained in this total are approximately 13,400 Waterlase systems, including over 8,900 Waterlase MD, MDX, Express and iPlus systems.

Consistent with our goal to focus our energies on strengthening our leadership, and worldwide competitiveness and increasing the amount of attention we pay to our professional customers and their patients, we have made strategic personnel additions to our senior management team.

Business and Outlook

Our Waterlase systems precisely cut hard tissue, bone, and soft tissue with minimal or no damage to surrounding tissue and dental structures. Our Diode systems, which include the Epic system, are designed to complement our Waterlase systems, and are used only in soft tissue procedures, pain therapy, hygiene, and cosmetic applications, including teeth whitening. The Diode systems, together with our Waterlase systems, offer practitioners a broad product line with a range of features and price points.

We also manufacture and sell consumable products and accessories for our laser systems. Our Waterlase and Diode systems use disposable laser tips of differing sizes and shapes depending on the procedure being performed. We also market flexible fibers and hand pieces that dental practitioners replace at some point after initially purchasing laser systems. For our Epic systems, we sell teeth whitening gel kits.

30

Due to the limitations associated with traditional and alternative dental instruments, we believe there is a large market opportunity for all-tissue dental laser systems that provide superior clinical outcomes, reduce the need to use anesthesia, help reduce trauma, pain, and discomfort associated with dental procedures, and increase patient acceptance for treatment protocols.

Our strategy is to increase awareness and demand for (i) our products among dental practitioners by educating dental practitioners and patients about the clinical benefits of our product suite and (ii) our laser systems among patients by educating patients about the clinical benefits of the Waterlase and Diode systems. An important goal of ours is to increase consumables revenue by selling more single-use accessories used by dental practitioners when performing procedures using our dental laser systems. In the short term, we are striving for operating excellence through lean enterprise initiatives, with a specific focus on our sales strategy and cash flow management, coupled with optimizing our engineering capabilities to develop innovative new products.

We also seek to create value through innovation and leveraging existing technologies into adjacent medical applications. We plan to expand our product line and clinical applications by developing enhancements and transformational innovations, including new clinical solutions for dental applications and for other adjacent medical applications. In particular, we believe that our existing technologies can provide significant improvements over existing standards of care in fields including ophthalmology, otolaryngology, orthopedics, podiatry, pain management, aesthetics/dermatology, veterinary, and consumer products. We plan to continue to explore potential collaborations to apply our proprietary laser technologies with expanded FDA-cleared indications to other medical applications in the future.

Recent Developments

Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on Our Operations

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. The novel coronavirus has since spread to over 100 countries, including every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to the coronavirus outbreak. This outbreak has severely impacted global economic activity, and many countries and many states in the United States have reacted to the outbreak by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. These mandated business closures have included dental office closures worldwide for all but emergency procedures, for the most part. The ability of our salespeople to call on dental customers during these closures has been greatly limited. In addition, most dental shows and workshops scheduled in the first and second quarters of 2020 have been canceled. As a result of reduced sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken to contain it, cash generated from our operations during the first quarter of 2020 were negatively impacted. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve and the full magnitude that the pandemic may have on our financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations remains uncertain.  There is no assurance that sales will return to normal levels during the second quarter of 2020 or at any time thereafter.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 14, 2020, BIOLASE was granted a loan from Pacific Mercantile Bank (the “PPP Loan”) in the aggregate amount of $2,980,000, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Securities (CARES) Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020.

The PPP Loan, which was in the form of a Note dated April 13, 2020 issued by the Company, matures on April 13, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2020. The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP Loan may only be used for payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. The Company intends to use the entire PPP Loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, amounts spent on authorized purchases over eight weeks after receiving the loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.

SWK Fourth Amendment 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company was not in compliance with its debt covenants under its credit agreement (as amended) with SWK Funding, LLC. In March 2020, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to its Credit Agreement with SWK. Under this Amendment, the financial covenant is amended to require consolidated unencumbered liquid assets of no less than $3.0 million as of any date of determination. The amendment also adjusted the Minimum Aggregate Revenue requirements.  

Revolving Credit Facility

In April 2020, the Company borrowed $3.0 million in connection with its credit facility with Pacific Mercantile Bank (the “PMB Loan”).

Portable Ventilator Partnership

In April, 2020, the Company entered into a partnership with an intensive care equipment manufacturer to supply ICU-grade portable ventilators through BIOLASE’s FDA-registered manufacturing facility.  

Critical Accounting Policies

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses reported during the period. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies that we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the 2019 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020 in our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in Item 7 of the 2019 Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth certain data from our unaudited consolidated statements of operations expressed as percentages of net revenue:

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with GAAP, we provide certain historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that, in some respects, are indicative of our ongoing core performance. In 2019, we revised our non-GAAP financial measures to include the change in allowance for doubtful accounts in an effort to better align Adjusted EBITDA with our loan covenants and how management evaluates business performance. Prior year non-GAAP disclosures have been revised to conform to the current definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

Management believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments, and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, and prospects for the future. However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Form 10-Q have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented by us may be different from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP Net Loss

Adjusted EBITDA

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation of our core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts and the change in fair value of our patent litigation settlement liability. Management uses adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation of our core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented by us may be different from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
