Note 2. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect the accounts of the Company as of March 31, 2016. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The accompanying interim unaudited, condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows, as of and for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2016.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Going Concern

The Company has implemented the criteria of ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, as of the first quarter 2016. In accordance with this guidance, management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the issuance date of this Form 10-Q with the SEC in May 2016. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has had recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $96.6 million, which, without additional financing in the interim, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had available cash, cash equivalents and investments in short and long term available-for-sale securities of approximately $32.8 million. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company believes that it will need to raise additional equity or debt capital in the future until its revenue reaches a level sufficient to provide for self-sustaining cash flows. There can be no assurance that additional equity or debt financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, or that the Company’s revenue will reach a level sufficient to provide for self-sustaining cash flows. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Change in Accounting Principle

The Company has adopted ASU No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016. The standard requires entities to present debt issuance costs on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset, and to report amortization as interest expense. The requirements were to be applied on a retrospective basis. As such, growth term loan deferred financing fees previously recorded by the Company as assets have been reflected net of growth term loan liability for both of the periods reflected in the condensed balance sheets. This required a retrospective adjustment of $52,377 of deferred financing fees within the December 31, 2015 condensed balance sheet from deferred financing and offering costs asset to term loan payable – non-current, net of discount and debt issuance costs when compared to the balance sheet reported within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2016.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation expense, the value of the warrant liability, the resolution of uncertain tax positions, income tax valuation allowances, recovery of long-lived assets and provisions for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence and inventory valuation. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Concentration Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and uncollateralized accounts receivable. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances in the form of cash deposits in bank checking and money market accounts in amounts in excess of federally insured limits. Management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institution, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

The Company sells its instruments, consumables, sample processing services, custom panel design services and contract research services primarily to biopharmaceutical companies, academic institutions and molecular labs. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and credit losses have been minimal to date.

The Company had product revenue consisting of revenue from the sale of instruments and consumables for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Instruments	$	79,181	$	203,533
Consumables		521,009		523,905
Total product sales	$	600,190	$	727,438

The top three customers accounted for 32%, 22% and 9% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with 25%, 23% and 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company derived 0% and 23% of total revenue from grants and contracts primarily from one granting agency, during the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The largest two customers accounted for approximately 33% and 17% of the Company’s net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2016, compared with approximately 32% and 25% as of December 31, 2015.

The Company currently relies on a single supplier to supply a subcomponent used in the HTG Edge and HTG EdgeSeq processors. A loss of this supplier could significantly delay the delivery of HTG Edge and HTG EdgeSeq systems, which in turn would materially affect the Company’s ability to generate revenue.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing US GAAP.

The revised revenue standard is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The standard requires inventory within the scope of the ASU to be measured using the lower of cost and net realizable value. The changes apply to all types of inventory, except those measured using LIFO or retail inventory method, and are intended to more clearly articulate the requirements for the measurement and disclosure of inventory and to simplify the accounting for inventory by eliminating the notions of replacement cost and net realizable value less a normal profit margin. The standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Leases will be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods for those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Revenue Recognition: Clarifying the new Revenue Standard’s Principal-Versus-Agent Guidance (“ASU 2016-08”). The standard amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance and illustrations in the FASB’s new revenue standard ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2016-08 clarifies that an entity should evaluate whether it is the principal or the agent for each specified good or service promised in a contract with a customer. As defined in the ASU, a specified good or service is “a distinct good or service (or a distinct bundle of goods or services) to be provided to the customer”. Therefore, for contracts involving more than one specified good or service, the Company may be the principal in one or more specified goods or services and the agent for others. The new standard will be effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. In addition, entities are required to adopt ASU 2016-08 by using the same transition method they used to adopt the new revenue standard. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its financial statements.

In April 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Share-Based Payment: Simplifying the Accounting for Share-Based Payments. The new guidance addresses several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
