<b><i>Revenue Recognition</i></b></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
The Company recognizes revenue when (1) persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services
have been rendered, (3) the price to the customer is fixed or
determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The
Company generates revenue from the sale of products and services.
The Company’s products consist of its proprietary nCounter
Analysis System and related consumables. Services consist of
extended warranties and service fees for assay processing. A
delivered product or service is considered to be a separate unit of
accounting when it has value to the customer on a stand-alone
basis. Products or services have value on a stand-alone basis if
they are sold separately by any vendor or the customer could resell
the delivered product.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
Systems product revenue is recognized upon installation and
calibration in geographic regions where such services are only
available from the Company’s specialized technicians. In
these regions, systems and related installation and calibration are
considered to be one unit of accounting, as systems are required to
be professionally installed and calibrated before use. In certain
geographic regions, installation and calibration services are
available from other vendors, and in such regions they are
considered separate revenue elements. For systems sold for use
primarily to run Prosigna assays, training must be provided prior
to system revenue recognition. Consumables are considered to be
separate units of accounting as they are sold separately.
Consumables product revenue is recognized upon shipment.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
Service revenue is recognized when earned, which is generally upon
the rendering of the related services. Service agreements and
service fees for assay processing are each considered separate
units of accounting as they are sold separately. The Company offers
service agreements on its nCounter Analysis System for periods
ranging from 12 to 36 months after the end of the standard
<font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">12-month</font> warranty period.
Service agreements are generally separately priced. Revenue from
service agreements is deferred and recognized in income on a
straight-line basis over the service period.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
For arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company allocates
the agreement consideration at the inception of the agreement to
the deliverables based upon their relative selling prices. To date,
selling prices have been established by reference to vendor
specific objective evidence based on stand-alone sales transactions
for each deliverable. Vendor specific objective evidence is
considered to have been established when a substantial majority of
individual sales transactions within the previous 12 month period
fall within a reasonably narrow range, which the Company has
defined to be plus or minus 15% of the median sales price of actual
stand-alone sales transactions. The Company uses its best estimate
of selling price for individual deliverables when vendor specific
objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable.
Allocated revenue is only recognized for each deliverable when the
revenue recognition criteria have been met.</p>

<b>4. Concentration of Risks</b></p>
<!-- xbrl,body -->
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. Cash
is invested in accordance with the Company’s investment
policy, which includes guidelines intended to minimize and
diversify credit risk. Most of the Company’s investments are
not federally insured. The Company has credit risk related to the
collectability of its accounts receivable. The Company performs
initial and ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial
position and generally extends credit on account without
collateral. The Company has not experienced any significant credit
losses to date as a result of credit risk concentration.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
The Company had one customer that individually represented more
than 10% of total revenue during the three months ended
March 31, 2014 and none during the three months ended
March 31, 2013. In addition, the Company had one customer that
represented more than 10% of total accounts receivable as of
March 31, 2014 and none as of December 31, 2013.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
The Company is also subject to supply chain risks related to the
outsourcing of the manufacturing and production of its instruments
to sole suppliers. Although there are a limited number of
manufacturers for instruments of this type, the Company believes
that other suppliers could provide similar products on comparable
terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in
manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which would adversely
affect operating results.</p>

the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America (“U.S. GAAP”) for unaudited condensed

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. The results of the Company’s operations for
the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year or for any other period.</p>

<b><i>Revenue Recognition</i></b></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
The Company recognizes revenue when (1) persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services
have been rendered, (3) the price to the customer is fixed or
determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The
Company generates revenue from the sale of products and services.
The Company’s products consist of its proprietary nCounter
Analysis System and related consumables. Services consist of
extended warranties and service fees for assay processing. A
delivered product or service is considered to be a separate unit of
accounting when it has value to the customer on a stand-alone
basis. Products or services have value on a stand-alone basis if
they are sold separately by any vendor or the customer could resell
the delivered product.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
Systems product revenue is recognized upon installation and
calibration in geographic regions where such services are only
available from the Company’s specialized technicians. In
these regions, systems and related installation and calibration are
considered to be one unit of accounting, as systems are required to
be professionally installed and calibrated before use. In certain
geographic regions, installation and calibration services are
available from other vendors, and in such regions they are
considered separate revenue elements. For systems sold for use
primarily to run Prosigna assays, training must be provided prior
to system revenue recognition. Consumables are considered to be
separate units of accounting as they are sold separately.
Consumables product revenue is recognized upon shipment.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
Service revenue is recognized when earned, which is generally upon
the rendering of the related services. Service agreements and
service fees for assay processing are each considered separate
units of accounting as they are sold separately. The Company offers
service agreements on its nCounter Analysis System for periods
ranging from 12 to 36 months after the end of the standard 12-month
warranty period. Service agreements are generally separately
priced. Revenue from service agreements is deferred and recognized
in income on a straight-line basis over the service period.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
For arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company allocates
the agreement consideration at the inception of the agreement to
the deliverables based upon their relative selling prices. To date,
selling prices have been established by reference to vendor
specific objective evidence based on stand-alone sales transactions
for each deliverable. Vendor specific objective evidence is
considered to have been established when a substantial majority of
individual sales transactions within the previous 12 month period
fall within a reasonably narrow range, which the Company has
defined to be plus or minus 15% of the median sales price of actual
stand-alone sales transactions. The Company uses its best estimate
of selling price for individual deliverables when vendor specific
objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable.
Allocated revenue is only recognized for each deliverable when the
revenue recognition criteria have been met.</p>

<!-- xbrl,body -->
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
In April 2014, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with
a new lender to refinance its existing credit facility and
potentially incur up to an aggregate of $45.0 million in term loan
borrowings or up to an aggregate of approximately $52.0 million if
it elects to exercise in full an option to defer payment of a
portion of the interest that would accrue on the borrowings under
the term loan agreement. The Company has committed to borrow no
less than $30.0 million under the agreement, from which it will
repay the outstanding balance under its existing credit facility
plus the related $1.0 million end of term payment and a $0.3
million make-whole premium. The Company expects to record a total
charge of $1.4 million related to the repayment. All borrowings
under this new term loan agreement will accrue interest at 12.5%
annually, of which 3.5% can be deferred and paid at the end of the
six-year term. The Company will make interest-only payments for the
first five years. The Company has the option to prepay the term
loans, in whole or in part, at any time subject to payment of a
redemption fee. This new term loan agreement contains customary
conditions to borrowings, events of default and negative covenants,
including covenants that could limit the Company’s ability
to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, liens or
other encumbrances, make dividends or other distributions; buy,
sell or transfer assets; engage in any new line of business; and
enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The new term loan
agreement also includes liquidity and revenue-based financial
covenants. The Company’s obligations under the new term loan
agreement are collateralized by substantially all of its
assets.</p>

incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 20, 2003. The
Company’s headquarters is located in Seattle, Washington. The
Company’s technology enables direct detection, identification
and quantification of individual target molecules in a biological
sample by attaching a unique color coded fluorescent reporter to
each target molecule of interest. The Company markets its
proprietary nCounter Analysis System, consisting of instruments and
consumables, including its Prosigna Breast Cancer Assay, to
academic, government and biopharmaceutical and clinical
laboratories.</p>

securities and incurrence of indebtedness, and to a lesser extent,
capital leases and other borrowings.</p>

consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include
all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for

accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.

affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. The results of the Company’s operations for
the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not
