Overview


GenMark was formed by Osmetech plc, or Osmetech, as a Delaware corporation in
February 2010, and had no operations prior to its initial public offering, which
was completed in June 2010. Immediately prior to the closing of the initial
public offering, GenMark acquired all of the outstanding ordinary shares of
Osmetech in a reorganization under the applicable laws of the United Kingdom.
Following the reorganization, Osmetech became a wholly-owned subsidiary
controlled by GenMark, and the former shareholders of Osmetech received shares
of GenMark. Any historical discussion of GenMark relates to Osmetech and its
consolidated subsidiaries prior to the reorganization. In September 2012,
GenMark placed Osmetech into liquidation to simplify its corporate structure.
The liquidation of Osmetech was competed in the fourth quarter of 2013.

We are a molecular diagnostics company focused on developing and commercializing multiplex solutions designed to enhance patient care, improve key quality metrics, and reduce the total cost-of-care. We currently develop and commercialize high-value, simple to perform, clinically relevant multiplex molecular tests based on our proprietary eSensor electrochemical detection technology.



Since inception, we have incurred net losses from operations each year, and we
expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Our net losses
for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $11.7 million
and $25.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, we had an accumulated
deficit of $525.9 million. Our operations to date have been funded principally
through sales of capital stock, borrowings, and cash from operations.

Our Products and Technology
We offer our ePlex sample-to-answer instrument and Respiratory Pathogen (RP)
Panel, Blood Culture Identification Gram-Positive (BCID-GP) Panel, Blood Culture
Identification Gram-Negative (BCID-GN) Panel, and Blood Culture Identification
Fungal Pathogen (BCID-FP) Panel for sale in the United States and
internationally. In addition, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we received
Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or
the FDA, in March 2020 for our ePlex SARS-CoV-2 test. We have also submitted an
EUA to the FDA for our ePlex Respiratory Pathogen Panel 2 (RP2) during June
2020, which is designed to provide results for SARS-CoV-2 in addition to the
other respiratory viruses contained on our ePlex RP Panel. We are also
developing our ePlex Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel for the detection of
pathogens associated with
                                       23

gastrointestinal infections. We continue to actively evaluate the development of
additional assay panels that we believe will meet important, unmet clinical
needs, which our ePlex system is uniquely positioned to address.

We offer four FDA-cleared diagnostic tests which run on our XT-8 instrument: our
Respiratory Viral Panel; our Cystic Fibrosis Genotyping Test; our Warfarin
Sensitivity Test; and our Thrombophilia Risk Test. We also offer a Hepatitis C
(HCV) Genotyping Test and associated custom manufactured reagents, as well as a
2C19 Genotyping Test, each of which is available for use with our XT-8
instrument for research use only (RUO).

Revenue


Revenue from operations includes revenue from the sale of our products and other
services. Product revenue comprises the sale of diagnostic tests and
instruments. In addition to selling our instruments, we also place our
instruments with customers through a reagent rental agreement, under which we
retain title to the instrument and customers generally commit to purchasing
minimum quantities of reagents and test cartridges over a period of one to five
years. Under our reagent rental agreements, a portion of the price charged to
customers from the sale of test cartridges is attributable to the usage fee for
the instrument. Other revenue primarily consists of freight revenue and revenue
from extended service agreements.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues includes the cost of materials, direct labor, and manufacturing
overhead costs used in the manufacture of our consumable tests. Cost of revenues
also includes depreciation on revenue generating instruments that have been
placed with our customers under a reagent rental agreement, cost of instruments
sold to customers, amortization of licenses related to our products, and other
costs such as warranty, royalty, and customer and product technical support. Any
potential underutilized capacity may result in a high cost of revenues relative
to revenue, if manufacturing volumes are not able to fully absorb operating
costs. Our instruments are procured from contract manufacturers. We expect our
cost of revenues to increase as we place additional instruments and manufacture
and sell additional diagnostic panels; however, over time, we expect our cost
per unit to decrease as production volume increases, manufacturing efficiencies
are realized, improvements to procurement practices are made, product
reliability increases, and other improvements decrease costs.

Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses include costs associated with our direct sales
force, sales management, marketing, technical support, and business development
activities. These expenses primarily consist of salaries, commissions, benefits,
stock-based compensation, travel, advertising, promotions, product samples, and
trade show expenses.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses primarily include costs associated with the
development and expansion of our ePlex instrument's diagnostic test menu. These
expenses also include certain clinical study expenses incurred in preparation
for FDA clearance for these products, intellectual property prosecution and
maintenance costs, and quality assurance expenses. The expenses primarily
consist of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, outside design and
consulting services, laboratory supplies, costs of consumables and materials
used in product development, and clinical studies and facility costs. We expense
all research and development expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses include costs associated with our
executive, accounting and finance, compliance, information technology, legal,
facilities, human resources, administrative, and investor relations activities.
These expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, stock-based
compensation, independent auditor costs, legal fees, consultant costs, insurance
premiums, and public company expenses, such as stock transfer agent fees and
listing fees for NASDAQ.

Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses
Transactions in currencies other than our functional currency, the U.S. Dollar,
are translated at the prevailing rates on the dates of the applicable
transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses arise from differences in
exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a
foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is settled or
translated.

Interest Income and Interest Expense
Interest income includes interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and
investments. Interest expense represents interest incurred on our loan payable
and on other liabilities.

Provision for Income Taxes
We make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for
financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the
calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences
in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial
statement purposes.

  Table of Contents
We assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax
assets. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative,
including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with
estimates of future taxable income, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax
planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. If it is
more likely than not that we will not recover our deferred tax assets, we will
increase our provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance
against the deferred tax assets that we estimate will not ultimately be
recoverable.

Our income tax returns are based on calculations and assumptions that are
subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax
authorities. In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves
dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We
recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process.
The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if
the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that
the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals
or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit
as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon
settlement. While we believe we have appropriate support for the positions taken
on our tax returns, we regularly assess the potential outcomes of examinations
by tax authorities in determining the adequacy of our provision for income
taxes. We continually assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments
and adjust the income tax provision, income taxes payable, and deferred taxes in
the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known.

The increase in cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020,
compared to the same period of the prior year was a result of the growth in
ePlex product revenue, which increased by 195% versus the same period of the
prior year and represented 88% of total revenue for the current period. Standard
product costs in the current quarter increased by $11.1 million as compared to
the same period of the prior year due to increases in ePlex product revenue.
Cost of revenue in the current period also increased by $935 thousand in
royalties expense, $220 thousand in freight expense, $187 thousand in inventory
reserve expense, and $158 thousand in customer and product and technical support
expense.

Gross profit in the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased by $9.3 million,
or a gross margin increase of 4 percentage points when compared to the same

Due to net losses incurred, we have only recorded tax provisions related to minimum tax payments in the United States and tax liabilities generated by our foreign subsidiaries, which have remained immaterial.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



To date, we have funded our operations primarily from the sale of our common
stock, borrowings, and cash from operations. We have incurred net losses from
continuing operations each year and have not yet achieved profitability. As of
June 30, 2020, we had $138.3 million of working capital, including $132.8
million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. We believe our
existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2020
will enable us to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, selected items in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:


                                                                           June 30,

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $16 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year. The
increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a
decrease of $13.7 million in net loss and an increase of $3.2 million in
non-cash adjustments. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was
partially offset by a decrease of $855 thousand from changes in operating assets
and liabilities. The changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily a
result of increases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other
liabilities, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventory.

                                       27
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $33.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior year,
primarily due to increases of $32.7 million in purchases of marketable
securities and $1.2 million in purchases of property and equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $69.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior year,
primarily due to increases of $77.6 million in net proceeds from the issuance of
common stock and $3.1 million from stock option exercises. The increase in cash
provided by financing activities was partially offset by $11.4 million from net
borrowings under our loan and security agreement.

We have prepared cash flow forecasts which indicate, based on our current cash
resources available, that we will have sufficient resources to fund our business
for at least the next 12 months. Factors that could affect our capital
requirements, in addition to those previously identified, include, but are not
limited to:

• the level of revenues and the rate of our revenue growth;

• changes in demand from our customers;

• the level of cost of revenues and their impact to our gross margin;


    • the level of expenses required to expand our commercial (sales and
marketing) activities;
• the level of research and development investment required to develop our
diagnostic systems and test menu;
• our need to acquire or license complementary technologies;

• the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

• competing technological and market developments; and

• changes in regulatory policies or laws that affect our operations.



Loan and Security Agreement
On February 1, 2019, or the Effective Date, we entered into a Loan and Security
Agreement, or the LSA, with Solar Capital Ltd. and certain other financial
institutions, or, collectively, the Lenders. Pursuant to the LSA and certain
subsequent amendments, the Lenders have provided us with $70 million in a series
of term loans, of which $50 million was funded on the Effective Date and an
additional $20 million was funded in December 2019 upon our achievement of a
designated amount of product revenues on a trailing six-month basis.

The term loans under the LSA accrue interest at a floating per annum rate in
effect from time-to-time equal to (a) the greater of 2.51% or the one-month
Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration, Ltd. rate then in effect as
of the applicable payment date, plus (b) 5.90% per annum. We are only required
to make interest payments on amounts borrowed pursuant to the term loans from
the applicable funding date until  February 28, 2022, or the Interest Only
Period. Following the Interest Only Period, monthly installments of principal
and interest under the term loans will be due until the original principal
amount and applicable interest is fully repaid by February 1, 2023.

Pursuant to the terms of the LSA, the Lenders are granted a security interest in
(a) all of our personal property, other than intellectual property (which is
subject to a negative pledge), but including our rights to payment in respect of
intellectual property, and (b) the stock of all of our subsidiaries; provided
that if the pledge of 100% of the voting shares of our non-U.S. subsidiaries
would result in adverse tax consequences, such pledge shall be limited to 65% of
the voting stock and 100% of the non-voting stock of each of our non-U.S.
subsidiaries.

The LSA contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including,
without limitation, delivering reports and notices relating to our financial
condition and certain regulatory events and intellectual property matters, as
well as limiting the creation of liens, the incurrence of indebtedness, and the
making of certain investments, payments and acquisitions, other than as
specifically permitted by the LSA. The LSA also contains customary events of
default (subject, in certain instances, to specified cure periods), including,
but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium when
due, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in
the LSA, and the occurrence of a material adverse change, certain regulatory
events, or certain insolvency events. Upon the occurrence of an event of
default, the Lenders may declare all outstanding principal and accrued but
unpaid interest under the LSA immediately due and payable and may exercise the
other rights and remedies as set forth in the LSA.

Equity Distribution Agreement
On August 5, 2019, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement, or the
Distribution Agreement, with Canaccord Genuity LLC, or Canaccord, pursuant to
which we may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock
having an aggregate offering price of up to $35 million. Under the Distribution
Agreement, Canaccord may sell shares by any method deemed to be an
"at-the-market" offering as defined in Rule 415 under the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or any other method permitted by law, including in privately
negotiated transactions. We are not obligated to sell any shares under the
Distribution Agreement.
                                       28
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Canaccord is entitled to a commission of 3% of the aggregate gross proceeds from
each sale of shares occurring pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. During the
six months ended June 30, 2020, we sold 363,120 shares of common stock under the
Equity Distribution Agreement at a weighted average price per share of $6.13
resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $2.2 million. We incurred $67 thousand
in commissions paid to Canaccord in connection with such sales. As of June 30,
2020, the Company may issue up to an additional $19.7 million of its common
stock under the Distribution Agreement.

Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) Funding
In March 2020, we were awarded up to $749 thousand from the Biomedical Advanced
Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Department of Health and
Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response,
to develop and pursue FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of a diagnostic
panel that incorporates the new SARS-CoV-2 viral target into our existing ePlex
RP Panel. In June 2020, we submitted our ePlex RP2 Panel to the FDA for EUA.

Underwriting Agreement
On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement, or the
Underwriting Agreement, with Cowen and Company, LLC and William Blair & Company,
LLC acting as joint book-running managers and as representatives of the
underwriters named therein, or collectively, the Underwriters, relating to the
issuance and sale of 7,253,886 shares of common stock and an option,
exerciseable by the Underwriters for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional
1,088,082 shares of common stock. The Company closed the Offering on May 11,
2020 and sold 8,341,968 shares of common stock, including the full exercise of
the Underwriters' option, at a public offering price of $9.65 per share before
underwriting fees and discounts. The Company raised $75.4 million in net
proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriters discounts and
commissions and offering expenses.

Letter of Credit
The Company has provided an aggregate of $1.6 million in letters of credit to
the landlords of certain of its leased facilities and maintains $42 thousand in
required minimum account balances with the financial institutions issuing such
letters of credit. As a result, the Company maintains $1.6 million of restricted
cash in connection with these lease agreements as of June 30, 2020.

If we require additional capital, we cannot be certain that it will be available
when needed or that our actual cash requirements will not be greater than
anticipated. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or
convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could
be significantly diluted, and these newly issued securities may have rights,
preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If we raise
additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we may be
required to relinquish significant rights to our technologies or products, or
grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2020, there were no material changes to our contractual
obligations from those disclosed within the "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these
financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We
evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to doubtful
accounts, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and other long-term
assets, income taxes, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our
critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no
material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the
six months ended June 30, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements. The Company has provided $1.6 million
in letters of credit to the landlords of certain of its leased facilities, which
is recorded as restricted cash on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance
sheets.
