Overview

Since our founding in 1996, we have been providing critical reagents that enable
the discovery, research, development, and production of biopharmaceutical
products such as drug therapies, novel vaccines, and molecular diagnostics. Our
more than 3,000 active customers span the entire continuum of the life sciences
market, including leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, contract
development and manufacturing organizations, in vitro diagnostics franchises,
and academic and government research institutions. We offer three primary
product types: pre-poured media plates for cell growth and cloning, liquid cell
culture media and supplements for cellular expansion, and molecular biology
reagents for sample manipulation, resuspension, and purification.

In 2017, we achieved International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
13485:2016 certification, enabling us to manufacture products for use in
diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Our certification allows us to offer
solutions across the entire customer product development workflow, supporting
our customers' need for materials in greater volume and that meet increasingly
stringent regulatory requirements as they scale from research to
commercialization.

We manufacture our products at our Hollister, California headquarters and stock
inventory of raw materials, components, and finished goods at that location. We
rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials, and we have no
long-term supply arrangements with our suppliers, as we order on a purchase
order basis. We ship our products directly from our warehouses in Hollister,
California and Mansfield, Massachusetts to our customers and distributors
pursuant to purchase orders. We typically recognize revenue when products are
shipped.

We generated revenue of $11.7 million during the three months ended June 30,
2022, which represents an increase of $3.4 million as compared to revenue of
$8.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the three months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, only 3.5% and 3.0%, respectively, of our revenue
was generated from customers located outside of the United States. We generated
revenue of $22.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, which
represents an increase of $5.4 million as compared to revenue of $17.4 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30,
2022 and 2021, only 3.2% and 3.5%, respectively, of our revenue was generated
from customers located outside of the United States. Our sales outside of the
United States are denominated in U.S. Dollars.

We had an operating loss of $6.6 million during the three months ended June 30,
2022, compared to an operating loss of $2.5 million during the three months
ended June 30, 2021. We had an operating loss of $12.5 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2022, compared to an operating loss of $3.4 million during
the six months ended June 30, 2021. We expect our expenses will continue to
increase in future periods in connection with our ongoing activities as we:

attract, hire and retain qualified personnel;

invest in processes and infrastructure to enable manufacturing automation and expand capacity;

develop new products and services and create intellectual property;

build our brand and market, and sell new and existing products and services; and

potentially acquire businesses or technologies to accelerate the growth of our business.

We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including the impact on our customers, employees, suppliers, business partners, and distribution channels. We are unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our customers, employees, suppliers, business partners, and distribution channels, future financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties; however, any material effect on these factors could adversely impact us.


                                       18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Further, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets, rising inflation, supply chain constraints, as well as other unanticipated consequences remain unknown.



The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid, and we believe
that we have, and will continue to, successfully navigate the uncertain
environment. We continue to actively manage our response to the COVID-19
pandemic in collaboration with customers, team members, and business partners.

Company, please see Item 1A., "Risk Factors" in this report.

Revenue

Our revenue disaggregated by product category for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (dollars in thousands):



                                       For the Three Months Ended June 30,
                                          2022                   2021            $ Change       % Change

2022, an increase of $1.9 million, or 30.0%, compared to $6.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2021. The growth in Lab Essentials revenue was
primarily attributable to higher average revenue per customer and, to a somewhat
lesser extent, to an increased number of customers.

2022, an increase of $1.4 million, or 84.7%, compared to $1.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in Clinical Solutions revenue was
primarily attributable to higher average revenue per customer and, to a lesser
extent, to an increased number of customers.

Sample Transport revenue was not significant for the three months ended June 30,
2022 and 2021, respectively. Beginning in early 2021 there was a decline in
market demand for COVID-19 testing and an increase in market supply of sample
transport products. As a result, in 2021, we decided to cease production of
sample transport medium and no longer market those products.

Our revenue disaggregated by geographic region, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (dollars in thousands):



                    For the Three Months Ended June 30,
                       2022                      2021            $ Change       % Change

Revenue from sales to customers in the U.S. was $11.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2022, and $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
2021. Revenue from U.S. sales was consistent period over period, representing
96.5% and 97.0% of our total revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2022
and 2021, respectively.

Revenue from sales to customers in markets outside of the U.S. was $0.4 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and $0.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2021. Revenue from international sales was also consistent,
representing 3.5% and 3.0% of our total revenue during the three months ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Gross profit

Our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (dollars in thousands):



                     For the Three Months Ended June 30,

Gross profit %                44.9 %                    40.3 %



Gross profit percentage was 44.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and
40.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit
percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by a
$0.7 million reserve taken against Sample Transport inventory during the three
months ended June 30, 2021, partially offset by higher labor costs.

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Research and development expenses were $1.9 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2022, and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The
increase was primarily driven by additional headcount, supplies, and
professional fees to support our new product and process development efforts.

Sales and marketing expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 2022, and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The

presence and improve customer support, as well as higher marketing expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $7.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2022, and $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The
increase was primarily driven by additional headcount, professional fees,
stock-based compensation, and insurance expenses incurred to build the
infrastructure necessary to support our growth strategy.

Total other income (expenses), net were not significant for the three months
ended June 30, 2022, as we capitalized $0.3 million of interest during the
period. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, total other expenses were $0.3
million, which primarily related to interest expense related to our long-term
debt agreement entered into in late March 2021.

Benefit from income taxes

Our benefit from income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (dollars in thousands):




                                         For the Three Months Ended June 30,

Our benefit from income taxes was $0.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 2022, which was primarily due to a federal deferred tax benefit from losses
in that period. Our benefit from income taxes was $0.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in our benefit from income taxes for
the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June
30, 2021, was attributable to operating losses not expected to be benefitted.

Revenue

Our revenue disaggregated by product category for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (dollars in thousands):



                                           For the Six Months Ended June 30,
                                            2022                      2021             $ Change       % Change

Total revenue                         $          22,837         $          17,391     $    5,446            31.3 %

Total revenue was $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.



Lab Essentials revenue was $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022,
an increase of $2.1 million, or 16.0%, compared to $13.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2021. The growth in Lab Essentials revenue was primarily
attributable to an increased number of customers and, to a somewhat lesser
extent, to higher average revenue per customer.

Clinical Solutions revenue was $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2022, an increase of $4.1 million, or 153.6%, compared to $2.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in Clinical Solutions revenue was
primarily attributable to higher average revenue per customer and, to a lesser
extent, to an increased number of customers.

Sample Transport revenue was not significant for the six months ended June 30,
2022, compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The
decline in Sample Transport revenue was due to the decline in market demand for
COVID-19 testing and an increase in market supply of sample transport products,
each of which began in early 2021. As a result, in 2021, we decided to cease
production of sample transport medium and no longer market those products.

Our revenue disaggregated by geographic region, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (dollars in thousands):



                     For the Six Months Ended June 30,
                      2022                      2021             $ Change       % Change

Revenue from sales to customers in the U.S. was $22.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022, and $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Revenue from U.S. sales was consistent period over period, representing 96.8%
and 96.5% of our total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021, respectively.

Revenue from sales to customers in markets outside of the U.S. was $0.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and $0.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021. Revenue from international sales was also consistent,
representing 3.2% and 3.5% of our total revenue during the six months ended June
30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Gross profit

Our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (dollars in thousands):



                     For the Six Months Ended June 30,

Gross profit %                 46.4 %                  48.2 %



Gross profit percentage was 46.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and
48.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in gross profit
percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by
higher labor costs, partially offset by a $0.7 million reserve taken against
Sample Transport inventory during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Research and development expenses were $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by additional headcount, supplies, and professional fees to support our new product and process development efforts.



Sales and marketing expenses were $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2022, and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was
primarily driven by additional headcount to develop our commercial presence and
improve customer support, as well as higher marketing expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $14.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2022, and $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The
increase was primarily driven by additional headcount as well as professional
fees, stock-based compensation, and insurance expense incurred to build the
infrastructure necessary to support our growth strategy.

Other income (expenses), net

Our other income (expenses), net for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

Total other income (expenses), net were not significant for the six months ended
June 30, 2022, as we capitalized $0.6 million of interest during the period. For
the six months ended June 30, 2021, total other expenses were $0.3 million,
which primarily related to interest expense.

Benefit from income taxes

Our benefit from income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (dollars in thousands):



                                        For the Six Months Ended June 30,
                                          2022                    2021             $ Change        % Change

Effective tax rate                               6.1 %                  20.5 %



Our benefit from income taxes was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2022, which was primarily due to a federal deferred tax benefit from losses in
that period. Our benefit from income taxes was $0.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021. The increase in our benefit from income taxes for the six
months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, was
attributable to an increase in operating loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Our principal liquidity requirements are to fund our operations (which includes,
but is not limited to, maintaining sufficient levels of inventory to meet the
anticipated demand of our customers) and our capital expenditures, including the
expansion of our manufacturing operations such as the construction of a new
manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution facilities in Hollister, California.
The primary source of financing for our operations was our initial public
offering (IPO), which we completed in June 2021, and resulted in net proceeds to
us of $99.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of
$7.7 million and offering expenses of $3.6 million. As of June 30, 2022, we had
$68.4 million in net working capital, which included $64.7 million in cash and
cash equivalents.

                                       23
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In addition to our existing cash and cash equivalents balance, our principal
source of liquidity is our credit facility as described below in the section
titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources-Credit Facility."

To facilitate our expected growth, we may also lease or purchase additional
office, manufacturing, warehouse, and/or distribution facilities. See "Notes to
Financial Statements-Note 7-Leases." We expect to continue to make investments
as we expand our operations and increase capacity. In particular, we are
building a new manufacturing facility in Hollister, California, which we expect
to be a significant use of cash over the next 6 to 12 months. We are carrying
the majority of these fixed assets as construction in progress on our balance
sheet until parts of the facility are put into service. These uses of cash are
not reasonably likely to result in material changes in the Company's liquidity.
The Company may also use its liquidity to pursue potential acquisitions that
further or accelerate its strategy.

Credit Facility



On May 10, 2022, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit and
Security Agreement (Term Loan) as borrower, with MidCap Financial Trust
(MidCap), as agent and lender, and the additional lenders from time to time
party thereto (the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement) and the Amended and
Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Revolving Loan) as borrower, with MidCap
as agent and lender, and the additional lenders from time to time party thereto
(the Amended Revolving Loan Credit Agreement, together with the Amended Term
Loan Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement). The Amended Credit
Agreement provides for a $57.135 million credit facility (the Amended Credit
Facility) consisting of a $52.135 million senior secured term loan (the Amended
Term Loan) and a $5.0 million working capital facility (the Amended Revolver).
The Amended Term Loan consists of the $12.0 million balance made available in
2021 under the previous credit facility and an additional $40.135 million,
staged such that $5.135 million was funded upon closing of the Amended Credit
Agreement, an additional $5.0 million will be funded on October 31, 2022, $10.0
million is available in the first half of 2023, $10.0 million is available in
the second half of 2023 and $10.0 million is available in the first half of
2024, with the borrowing in the second half of 2023 and in the first half of
2024 being contingent upon achieving trailing twelve months of Clinical
Solutions revenue of $15.0 million and $19.0 million, respectively, and
liquidity requirements (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of $10.0
million and $15.0 million, respectively. The maximum loan amount under the
Amended Revolver is $5.0 million, and the Company may request the lenders to
increase such amount up to $15.0 million. Borrowings on the Amended Revolver are
limited in accordance with a borrowing base calculation.

The interest on the Amended Term Loan is based on the annual rate of one-month
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 6.45%, subject to a LIBOR floor of
1.00%. If any advance under the Term Loan is prepaid at any time, the prepayment
fee is based on the amount being prepaid and an applicable percentage amount,
such as 3%, 2%, or 1%, based on the date the prepayment is made after the
closing date of the Amended Term Loan. Interest on the outstanding balance of
the Amended Revolver will be payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of
one-month LIBOR plus 3.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%.

The maturity date of the Amended Credit Facility is May 1, 2027. On the date of
termination of the Amended Term Loan or the date on which the obligations under
the Amended Term Loan become due and payable in full, the Company will pay an
exit fee in an amount equal to five percent of the total aggregate principal
amount of term loans made pursuant to the Amended Term Loan as of such date. The
Amended Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant based upon a trailing
twelve months of net revenue, including a requirement of $42.5 million in the
twelve months ending December 31, 2022.

We believe these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our liquidity
requirements for at least the next 24 months. We may, however, require or elect
to secure additional financing as we continue to execute our business strategy.
If we require or elect to raise additional funds, we may do so through equity or
debt financing, which may or may not be available on favorable terms and could
require us to agree to covenants that limit our operating flexibility.

We are currently working with our lender to amend certain financial covenants
applicable to the Amended Term Loan and the Amended Revolver to take account of
our revised revenue outlook for 2022. However, we can make no assurances that
such amendments will be agreed by our lender. If we breach a financial covenant
of a credit agreement, then substantially all our outstanding debt could become
due, and our credit agreements could be terminated, which could have a material
adverse impact on our operations and liquidity. To meet the Company's future
working capital needs, the Company may need to raise additional debt or equity
financing. While the Company has implemented a plan to control its expenses and
to satisfy its obligations under the Amended Credit Facility throughout the one
year period from the date of issuance of these interim financial statements, the
Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to maintain compliance with its
loan agreements, raise additional equity, contain expenses, or increase revenue.

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents $ (22,784 )

   $        104,707



Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities consists primarily of net loss adjusted
for certain non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization, bad debt
expense, deferred taxes, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment,
inventory reserve, amortization of debt issuance costs, and stock-based
compensation expense), and the effect of changes in working capital and other
activities.

adjustments to net loss included $1.5 million of depreciation and amortization
and $1.7 million of stock-based compensation, partially offset by $0.8 million
in deferred taxes. Net cash used in changes in operating assets and liabilities
consisted primarily of a $1.2 million increase in accounts receivable, $2.5
million increase in inventories, a $0.3 million decrease in accounts payable,
and a $0.6 million increase in other non-current assets, partially offset by a
$1.1 million decrease in income taxes receivable, a $0.7 million decrease in
prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a $0.6 million increase in
accrued liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2021, which primarily consisted of net loss of $2.9 million plus net
adjustments for non-cash charges of $2.1 million, offset by net changes in

$0.5 million of stock-based compensation, $0.7 million related to an inventory
reserve, and $0.2 million related to a bad debt reserve, partially offset by
$0.7 million in deferred taxes. Net cash used in changes in operating assets and
liabilities consisted primarily of a $1.0 million increase in inventories and
$0.2 million increase in income taxes receivable, partially offset by a $0.3
million decrease in accounts receivable, $0.4 million decrease in prepaid
expenses and other current assets, and $0.2 million increase in accrued
liabilities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities relates primarily to capital expenditures and purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable investments.

Net cash used in investing activities was $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which consisted of purchases of property, plant and equipment.



Net cash used in investing activities was $6.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2021, which primarily consisted of purchases of property, plant and
equipment of $8.6 million. This was partially offset by receipt of proceeds from
sales and maturities of short-term marketable securities of $1.1 million and
$0.7 million, respectively, and proceeds from a loan to a related party of $0.5
million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities primarily relates to proceeds from
long-term debt, offset by related debt issuance costs and payment of issuance
costs for the IPO.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022, which was primarily attributable to proceeds from long-term
debt of $5.1 million, partially offset by related debt issuance costs of $0.2
million and payment of exit fee costs related to our debt refinancing of $0.1
million. We also received proceeds of $0.1 million from the exercise of stock
options and $0.1 million from issuance of common stock under our employee stock
purchase plan.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $112.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021, which was primarily attributable to proceeds from our IPO,
net of underwriters' commissions and discounts of $102.7 million and proceeds
from long-term debt of $11.9 million, partially offset by related debt issuance
costs of $0.2 million and payment of costs related to our IPO of $2.3 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Our condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of condensed
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We
evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. However, future events may cause us to change our assumptions and
estimates, which may require adjustment. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies, of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There
have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates
as compared to those described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" set forth in the 2021 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company



We qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act. As long
as we qualify as an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain
exemptions from various reporting requirements and other burdens that are
otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include,
but are not limited to:

reduced obligations with respect to financial data, including presenting only two years of audited financial statements;

an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, proxy statements, and registration statements; and

exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.



In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting
new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to
private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from
adopting new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, we will not be
subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public
companies that are not emerging growth companies or that have opted out of using
such extended transition period, which may make comparison of our financial
statements with those of other public companies more difficult. We may take
advantage of these reporting exemptions until we no longer qualify as an
emerging growth company, or, with respect to adoption of certain new or revised
accounting standards, until we irrevocably elect to opt out of using the
extended transition period.

Under the JOBS Act, we will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of:

the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more;

the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the closing of our IPO;

the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; and


the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) (i.e., the first
day of the fiscal year after we have (i) more than $700.0 million in outstanding
common equity held by our non-affiliates, measured each year on the last
business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (ii) been
public for at least 12 months).

We are also a "smaller reporting company" as defined in the Exchange Act. We may
continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an
emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled
disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until the fiscal year
following the determination that (i) the market value of our voting and
non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250.0 million
measured on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal
quarter, and our annual revenues are more than $100.0 million during the most
recently completed fiscal year or (ii) the market value of our voting and
non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700.0 million
measured on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal
quarter.
