Description of Business

Singular Genomics Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is a life science technology company that is leveraging novel, next-generation sequencing (“NGS”) and multiomics technologies to empower researchers and clinicians. The Company developed a unique and proprietary NGS technology, which is referred to as its Sequencing Engine. The Sequencing Engine is the foundational platform technology that forms the basis of the Company’s products in development as well as its core product tenets: power, speed, flexibility and accuracy. The Company is developing two products that are purpose-built to target applications in which these core product tenets matter most. The first product, the G4, targets the NGS market. The G4 is a benchtop next-generation sequencer designed to produce fast and accurate genetic sequencing results. The integrated purpose-built kits that run on the G4 address specific applications in the oncology and immune profiling markets. The second product in development, the PX, combines single-cell analysis, spatial analysis, genomics and proteomics in one integrated instrument to offer a versatile multiomics solution.

The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware in June 2016 and has its principal operations in San Diego, California.

Initial Public Offering

On June 1, 2021, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) in which it sold 11,730,000 shares of common stock (which included 1,530,000 shares that were sold pursuant to the full exercise of the IPO underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) at a public offering price of $22.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $237.2 million after deducting offering costs, underwriting discounts and commissions of $20.9 million.

Concurrent with the closing of the IPO:

38,826,388 outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock;
outstanding principal and interest amount of convertible promissory notes (the “2021 Convertible Notes”) converted into 7,531,777 shares of common stock; and
a warrant to purchase 129,156 shares of convertible preferred stock (the “SVB Warrant”) was automatically adjusted to become a warrant to purchase an equivalent number of shares of common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has incurred net losses since inception and, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, had an accumulated deficit of $173.9 million and $151.9 million, respectively. The Company has a limited operating history, and the revenue and income potential of the Company’s business are unproven. From incorporation in June 2016 through March 31, 2022, substantially all of the Company’s operations have been funded by the sales of equity securities and issuances of debt. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $316.0 million. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2022 are sufficient to fund its operations for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
